Two Wives and a Dead Guy

A One-act Comedy

By: Cynthia Booth,Roy C. Booth

Mr. Donald Howard Becton III, the successful globe-trotting businessman and millionaire, is deader than a pair of socks. And he is presently on display for the world to see at the Olson-Hines Funeral Home. His wife, the educated and well-pedigreed Eileen, visits, and puts on a good show to get that nervous, rat terrier of a junior funeral hall director in training, Mr. Hines, to leave her alone with the corpse. Unfortunately, Eileen has a problem. No, not the pyromaniac daughter nor the bedwetting son; no, no one can find Becton's will, not even his golf-obsessed lawyer knows where it is. Perhaps clues to the dilemma can be found on the corpse? But, before a proper search can be made, Veronica shows up, a gaudily painted, silicone enhanced "lady" who also claims to be Becton's wife. Let's just say that that is not what Eileen expected. The two immediately despise each other and eventually go at it to hilarious means, leaving behind a very perplexed Mr. Hines (and one very battered corpse) at play's end."--Publisher's website.

Orphans

By: Roy C. Booth,Axel Kohagen

Something evil walks this small town’s streets ... and three men will face it head on while a fourth ponders if he can become a monster. On a quiet Fall night, murder comes to the small Iowa town of Black Forest for the first time in all its horror and depravity. Locals start to wonder if self-taught Satanist Shane Woland is involved in this horrendous killing of an awkward teenager. Lonely and divorced Principal Schlecte believes Shane is innocent. Sherriff Tim Levington is certain the boy is somehow involved. Town mechanic Mel Roland is convinced of the accused’s guilt, as well. And Shane Woland wants to meet the killer. But all is not as it seems, especially about the victim in this crime. For he has summoned evil, one so powerful that nothing, and no one, will be able to resist or beat it. As these grown orphans are forced to come to terms with the deepest flaws and the darkest desires of their hearts, the battle rages as they face evil in the faces of the town, and the ones reflecting back at them in the mirror.

Environmental Chemicals Desk Reference

By: John H. Montgomery,Thomas Roy Crompton

Environmental Chemicals Desk Reference is a concise version of the widely read Agrochemicals Desk Reference and Groundwater Chemicals Desk Reference. This up-to-date volume was inspired by the need for a combination of the material in both references, together with the large number of research publications and the continued interest in the fate, transport, and remediation of hazardous substances. Much new data has been added to this unique edition, including global legislation (REACH) and sustainability, thereby reflecting the wealth of literature in the field. Featured are environmental and physical/chemical data on more than 200 compounds, including pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.

Nature Wars

Essays Around a Contested Concept

By: Roy Ellen

Organized around issues, debates and discussions concerning the various ways in which the concept of nature has been used, this book looks at how the term has been endlessly deconstructed and reclaimed, as reflected in anthropological, scientific, and similar writing over the last several decades. Made up of ten of Roy Ellen’s finest articles, this book looks back at his ideas about nature and includes a new introduction that contextualizes the arguments and takes them forward. Many of the chapters focus on research the author has conducted amongst the Nuaulu people of eastern Indonesia.

Comparative Poetics

An Intercultural Essay on Theories of Literature

By: Earl Roy Miner

Comparative literature," Earl Miner writes, "clearly involves something more than comparing two great German poets, and something different from a Chinese studying French literature or a Russian studying Italian literature." But what would a true intercultural poetics be? This work proposes various ways to "study something other than what are, all things considered, the short and simple annals of one cultural parish at one historic moment." The first developed account of theories of literature from an intercultural standpoint, the book shows that an "originative" or "foundational" poetics develops in cultures with explicit poetics when critics define the nature and conditions of literature in terms of the then most esteemed genredrama, lyric, or narrative. Earl Miner demonstrates that these definitions and inferences from them constitute useful bases for comparative poetics.
