Many people know about the Greek Gods and Goddesses--what most don't suspect is that Zeus and the others had a different home world before they ever came to Earth. After belief in them faded on our world, they returned to their original home, Storybook, and stayed away from humans for years . . . until a spaceship called the Calypso runs into trouble, and the Deities decide to help. Completely unaware of the divine intervention, the mortals go about their lives. Simon is banished from the fledgling community for his crimes, Finnian leaves of his own volition, Geneva tries to get her work done while dealing with a controlling husband, and Stace struggles to find something familiar in a world that she was brought to against her will. Their lives are already complicated enough. And then Hera and Aphrodite decide to make a bet. . . .
A hesitant truce has been formed in Chalet between the fae and most of the humans, but some never intended to hold to it. Violence is escalating, and the Council seems unable to do anything about it. Finn, Stace, and Geneva stay and try to find a solution, while Simon ignores the problem in favor of continuing his research in the Neritye mountain. But he ends up exposing them to a much greater danger, when the information he discovers angers the Gods .

What makes art 'feminist art'? Although feminist artists do have a unique aesthetic, there can be no essential feminist aesthetic, argues Kathy Battista in this exciting new art history. Domesticity, the body, its traces and sexuality have become prominent themes in contemporary feminist practice but where did these preoccupations begin and how did they come to signify a particular type of art? Kathy Battista's (re-)engagement with the founding generation of female practitioners centres on 1970s London as the cultural hub from which a new art practice arose. Emphasising the importance of artists including Bobby Baker, Anne Bean, Catherine Elwes, Rose English, Alexis Hunter, Tina Keane, Hannah O'Shea, Kate Walker and Silvia Ziranek and examining works such as Mary Kelly's Post-Partum Document, Judy Clark's 1973 exhibition Issues, Carolee Schneemann's Meat Joy and Cosey Fanni Tutti's Prostitution, shown in 1976, Kathy Battista investigates some of the most controversial and provocative art from the era. This book not only deals with the 'famous' art events but includes analysis of lesser-known exhibitions and performances and explains why so much feminist art has been both marginalised in art history and grossly under-represented in institutional archives and collections.
Finn, Stace, and Simon didn't expect a perfect welcome upon their arrival in Chalet, and those expectations prove correct. Simon has to deal with the mistrust of most people in the town, and the sabotage attempts from a coworker who never wanted him to return. Stace is thrilled when an old friend of hers finds his way to them, but the feeling fades when it becomes clear that he and Finn don't get along. The Gods and Goddesses quickly surmise that jealousy is at the root of their arguments, and debate over ways to toy with the situation. But those problems pale in comparison to what happens when a sociopath arrives-a fae who's determined to use her magic to tear the fledgling community apart.

Through the use of case examples and careful examination, this book presents the first interdisciplinary essay collection on the study of art crime, and its effect on all aspects of the art world. Contributors discuss art crime subcategories, including vandalism, iconoclasm, forgery, fraud, peace-time theft, war looting, archaeological looting, smuggling, submarine looting, and ransom. The contributors offer insightful analyses coupled with specific practical suggestions to implement in the future to prevent and address art crime. This work is of critical importance to anyone involved in the art world, its trade, study, and security.Art crime has received relatively little attention from those who study art to those who prosecute crimes. Indeed, the general public is not well-aware of the various forms of art crime and its impact on society at large, to say nothing of museums, history, and cultural affairs. And yet it involves a multi-billion dollar legitimate industry, with a conservatively-estimated $6 billion annual criminal profit. Information about and analysis of art crime is critical to the wide variety of fields involved in the art trade and art preservation, from museums to academia, from auction houses to galleries, from insurance to art law, from policing to security. Since the Second World War, art crime has evolved from a relatively innocuous crime, into the third highest-grossing annual criminal trade worldwide, run primarily by organized crime syndicates, and therefore funding their other enterprises, from the drug and arms trades to terrorism. It is no longer merely the art that is at stake.
