Walking through the Wall

By: Kevin James Shay

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A journalist from Texas, Shay walked for peace from Dallas to Moscow in 1984-85, "A Walk of the People," and about 600 miles in India in 1987-88. "Walking Through the Wall" is his account of these walks. When in 1984 the nuclear arms race intensified -- nuclear arms increasing on both sides and leaders seemingly intransigent -- Shay and others joined together in A Walk of the People to raise awareness of the nuclear danger and to break through the governments' walls. His journey's urgent purpose and the stories he tells of individual and official breakthroughs during the march call us today to join the struggle to avert nuclear war. -- Danish Peace Academy review.

A Flash in Time

A Novel

By: Michael K. Shay

Forced to go on a hiking trip with his Uncle Jack, fourteen-year-old Zach Walker heads to the desert near Bluff, Utah to search for an ancient staircase—the same one Zach’s father was looking for when he disappeared three years before. Once in the backcountry, Zach discovers prehistoric ruins, mysterious rock art, and a one-way portal to the past. When he steps through the portal, he finds himself trapped in the land of the Ancestral Puebloans—a place hit hard by severe drought and conflict. Zach soon runs out of food and water, but a native girl named Aqua rescues him and takes him to her village where her family adopts him. But the canyons are full of warfare and Zach wants to go home, despite his growing attachment to Aqua and her family. The problem is, nobody in Aqua’s village seems to know the way back to the twenty-first century. Will Zach spend the rest of his life in a land eight hundred years before his time? How will he ever find his way back to family and friends in Portland, Oregon? Includes Readers Guide.

Trials of Love

10 Lawyers to Lust For

By: Alexia Adams,Kathryn Brocato,Rue Allyn,Chardy Walker Lieb,Shelley K Wall,Iris Leach,Shay Lacy,Anne Metikosh,B.B. Cruz,Peggy Bird

These legal eagles might love their law and order, but they also know how to have a gavel-banging good time. Can late-night debriefings develop into lasting love for these ten couples? You be the judge! Her Faux Fiancé: Hotshot corporate lawyer Erik Sigurdson breezes into town determined to survive a family reunion. He makes his ex, Analise Thordarson, an irresistible offer: pretend to be his fiancée and he’ll lend her the money to pay off her grandfather’s debts. But when their fake engagement is complicated by a real pregnancy, they must sort out who is using whom and if this faux relationship could lead to a real future. Bride by the Book: Small-town Arkansas attorney Garner Holt needs an assistant to sort out his cluttered office, but he didn’t expect a super-secretary like Miss Angelina Brownwood. She’s perfect until an online search reveals a flaw: Angelina isn’t a secretary. Does her secret mean he can’t make this unique woman his for life? One Day’s Loving: Mae Alden likes her quiet life—she’s certainly not cut out to defy convention like her sisters. But everything changes when Boston attorney James Collins reads her father’s will and Mae must choose between who she is and the marriage everyone expects. Could James himself offer the answer to both? The Amulet: In their first life, Jackson Hawthorne was forced to watch as his fiancée was tried, convicted, and hung. Now an attorney in modern-day Salem, Massachusetts, can he get to the bottom of the mysterious threats to gorgeous Abby Corey’s life—and stop history from repeating itself? Find Me: Amanda Gillespie never bargained on seeing Jackson Holstenar again after she was asked to leave the law firm where they worked. Now he’s in the weird position of trying to help her become his best pal’s ideal girl. With a little help from fate, these two confused hearts might just find a way back to each other for good. Looking for Prince Charming: Glory agrees to pose as her fellow lawyer and boss’s girlfriend while he campaigns for Lord Mayor of Melbourne—which might not be the best idea since she’s already in love with the charming playboy. Counterpoint: The attorney general assigns Ciara Alafita to find out if defense attorney Bryce Gannon is corrupt, but this take-no-prisoners defense attorney is as elusive as the identity of the person trying to kill him. If she can’t convince Bryce to let the feds protect him or to give up his current case, she might never get the chance to admit the truth or her feelings to him. Trial Run: Nina Ryan was just doing her sister a favor when she agreed to sit on a mock jury to help form a defense for a confessed killer. But the evidence isn’t clear-cut, and it seems David Maitland, the sexy new guy in town that she’s falling for, might have something to do with this case. When the suspect ends up dead, can Nina accept some harsh realities to her future with David? Dangerous Decisions: Someone is feeding the feds info on alleged illegal activities at the Franklin Everly law firm, and there’s enough evidence to put Carino Montgomery in the hot seat when hired gun Ramon Terrones arrives to uncover the mole. But from the moment they meet, Ramon relentlessly pursues Carino, triggering a whirlwind romance packed with fierce emotions and secrets that won’t remain buried. Unmasking Love: Sparks fly when Julie Payne meets Trace Watkins at a costume party, and they end the night beneath the sheets while literally hiding behind their masks. But their real identities present a serious snag: Trace manages the bank Julie happens to be suing for her client. Will they turn this nasty trick of fate into a treat? Sensuality Level: Sensual

Purcell Manuscripts

The Principal Musical Sources

By: Robert Shay,Robert Thompson

Few details are known about the life of Henry Purcell. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the most obvious documentary evidence of Purcell's career - the music manuscripts of his own hand and those copied by his colleagues. Robert Shay and Robert Thompson offer a richly illustrated study of Purcell's sources, examining in detail the physical features of the manuscripts as well as their musical content. Their survey sheds light on the chronology of composition and copying of Purcell's works and reassesses the place of extant autographs in his musical development. Major sources are fully catalogued, providing information about the context in which Purcell's music was collected and performed, and his handwriting is more closely examined than ever before. The book represents a significant reference tool for scholars, applying a forensic approach that greatly enriches our knowledge of the composer and the music of his time.

Bygone Binghamton

Remembering People and Places of the Past Volume One

By: Jack Edward Shay

Bygone Binghamton Remembering People and Places of the Past Volume One is a peoples history of some of the most memorable persons, events, and landmarks of the Binghamton area in modern times. It includes the personal memories in their own words of hundreds of people crosschecked, whenever possible, by letters, newspapers, scrapbooks, and personal files. Its many chapters focus on well-remembered restaurants, Mom and Pop grocery stores, ice cream and penny candy places, dairies, and bakeries. It tells, for the first time, the origins of the famous sauce served at Little Venice, the secret wartime exploits of the man who founded Pinos, the background of the Pig Stands, the long-repressed World War II horrors experienced by a young boy who grew up to own the Schnitzelbank, and the married couple who gave Pat Mitchell his start in the ice cream business. Local companies like GAF/Ansco/Ozalid, General Electric, and the Erie Shops are profiled. The founding, heyday, and history of IBM in Endicott are explored. The chapter on Endicott Johnson is a small book in itself and provides information never before published. The once-flourishing downtown shopping districts come to life once again in the words of those who remember them. The notorious Clinton Street Run lives again in the stories of people who attempted it. Drazens, Philadelphia Sales, and Lescrons are among the highlighted stores. Former newspapers and magazines and some of the most beloved or controversial writers Tom Cawley, Gene Grey, Lou Parrillo are recalled.

Arcane America

101 of the Best Places You Never Heard of

By: Jack Edward Shay

America's first great civil war battle took place on a hill in South Carolina...more than a quarter-century before Robert E. Lee was born. A pair of Presidents and their First Ladies repose side by side for all eternity in the undercroft of a Massachusetts church. America's most dramatic case of treason played out along the banks of New York's Hudson River where barges and yachts now pass. One of Florida's fabled keys hosts an annual festival that draws throngs...yet no one lives on the island any other day of the year. These are but four examples of classic Americana tucked away in hidden nooks, secret pockets of historical, cultural, and human interest unknown to most Americans. If you know where to look, you can enter a colorful, extravagant, gaudily lighted Christmas village in Pennsylvania such as you've never seen before. And if you're in the right place in Washington, you can visit a cemetery containing the grave of one of America's most famous Native Americans and choke up at the affecting personal tributes to ordinary everyday Indians that surround it. In the middle of Minnesota you can tour an iron ore mine so real you almost forget it's fake. On the banks of the Ohio River in Illinois you can enter a huge cave whose dark, eerie recesses once enticed travelers, naturalists, and America's first serial killers. In Hawaii you can descend a hidden, unimproved trail to one of the Pacific's most enchanting bays and walk along the shore where the world's greatest explorer was killed. In Alaska you can walk up to a glacier whose enormity will overwhelm you and then hike across it and taste its icy wetness. These are not famous places. They are, rather, obscure, unheralded, little-visited corners of America waiting to tempt you. Welcome to "Arcane America: 101 of the Best Places You Never Heard Of," a compilation of some of the least-known, most-interesting sites in the United States: a Connecticut prison where inmates served their time chained to the bowels of a deserted copper mine; a rural Iowa county that spawned America's greatest western actor and a sextet of covered bridges; a New Jersey miniature kingdom whose beauty and artistry killed its creator; a New York county where you can ride the largest number of free carousels anywhere in the world; a temple of gold to one of the world's most misunderstood religions in the rolling hills of West Virginia; a medical museum in the nation's capital where you'll see pickled fetuses, radical human deformities, and bits of Abraham Lincoln's skull. There are no Statues of Liberty, Disneyworlds, or Grand Canyons in this collection of some of America's most unusual and anonymous delights. Many have never before been written of, except in regional publications of limited scope and circulation. Almost all are virtually unknown outside their immediate vicinities or states. You may find yourself recognizing a particular name, cultural relationship, or historical fact here or there, but you'll probably not know the whole story. Included in the 101 destinations covering all 50 states and the District of Columbia are battlefields, graves, miniature worlds, scenic drives and hikes, natural formations and curiosities, national and state parks, mansions, historic sites, nature and wildlife preserves, deserted islands, Indian reservations, gardens, inexplicable mysteries, religious shrines, museums honoring traditional accomplishments and one-of-a-kind eccentricities, reconstructed villages, manufacturing sites, underground worlds, hidden sites in the middle of nowhere, and corners of forgotten importance within America's largest city. Some are breathtakingly beautiful; others are frighteningly bizarre. All are memorably unique. Legendary figures stand shoulder to shoulder with those whom time has forgotten: Buffalo Bill Cody and his mountaintop resting place; William Gillette and his quirky castle; Franklin D.

Entertainment and Society

Influences, Impacts, and Innovations

By: Shay Sayre,Cynthia King

The second edition of this innovative textbook introduces students to the ways that society shapes our many forms of entertainment and in turn, how entertainment shapes society. Entertainment and Society examines a broad range of types of entertainment that we enjoy in our daily lives – covering new areas like sports, video games, gambling, theme parks, travel, and shopping, as well as traditional entertainment media such as film, television, and print. A primary emphasis is placed on the impact of technological and cultural convergence on innovation and the influence of contemporary entertainment. The authors begin with a general overview of the study of entertainment, introducing readers to various ways of understanding leisure and play, and then go on to trace a brief history of the development of entertainment from its live forms through mediated technology. Subsequent chapters review a broad range of theories and research and provide focused discussions of the relationship between entertainment and key societal factors including economics and commerce, culture, law, politics, ethics, advocacy and technology. The authors conclude by highlighting innovations and emerging trends in live and mediated entertainment and exploring their implications for the future. The new edition features updated examples and pedagogical features throughout including text boxes, case studies, student activities, questions for discussion, and suggestions for further reading.

Cell and Muscle Motility

Volume 2

By: Robert M. Dowben,Jerry W. Shay

The contributions to this volume were presented at a Symposium entitled "Current Topics in Muscle and Nonmuscle Motility" held in Dallas 19-21 November 1980 under the auspices of the A. Webb Roberts Center for Con tinuing Education, Baylor University Medical Center Dallas, and the Univer sity of Texas Health Science Center at Dallas. This very useful opportunity for a group of active investigators in motility to meet and discuss their latest findings was made possible in part by the income from an endowment fund established by a generous gift from Dr. Albert P. D'Errico in the Baylor University Medical Center. Dr. D'Errico was the first formally-trained neurosurgeon to practice in the Dallas area, the first Chief of Neurological Surgery, and a member of the Medical Board of the Baylor University Medi cal Center Dallas (1947 -1964). The income from this fund is used to promote the dissemination of up-to-date information in the Neurosciences, to provide intellectual stimulation, to add to the fund of knowledge, and improve the skills of neurosurgeons, neurologists, internists, and others in specialized fields of medicine. We are all indebted for this generous gift that made this enriching educational experience possible. We are also grateful for support the Symposium received from Electron Microscopy Sciences, Forma Scien tific, J. E. O. L. USA, Inc. , Ladd Research Industries, M. J. O. Diatome Co. , Or ganon Co. , Upjohn Co. , G. D. Searle & Co. , and Smith, Kline and French. Robert M.

Counterpoint

By: Shay Lacy

Defend me in court or else, accused racketeer Adam Steele orders. The last thing defense attorney Bryce Gannon wants to do is get another criminal acquitted. And it does look like it might be the last thing he does. Somebody has already tried to kill him. Now the Feds tell him there’s a traitor in Steele’s organization who may be gunning for him and that Steele has sent him a beautiful spy to make sure Bryce complies. The Attorney General orders Ciara Alafita to find out if Bryce is corrupt. She hates liars and now she’s become one. But finding the truth about Bryce is as hard as finding the identity of the person trying to kill him. As she challenges the cold attorney to thaw, she finds many things to like about him . . . if she can ignore he’s defending a mobster. But if she can’t convince Bryce to let the Feds protect him or to give up the Steele case, she might never get the chance to admit the truth or her feelings to him. Sensuality Level: Sensual

Ethno Identity Dance for Sex, Fun and Profit

Staging Popular Dances Around the World

By: Anthony Shay

People all over the world dance traditional and popular dances that have been staged for purposes of representing specific national and ethnic groups. Anthony Shay suggests these staged dance productions be called “ethno identity dances”, especially to replace the term “folk dance,” which Shay suggests should refer to the traditional dances found in village settings as an organic part of village and tribal life. Shay investigates the many motives that impel people to dance in these staged productions: dancing for sex or dancing sexy dances, dancing for fun and recreation, dancing for profit - such as dancing for tourists - dancing for the nation or to demonstrate ethnic pride. In this study Shay also examines belly dance, Zorba Dancing in Greek nightclubs and restaurants, Tango, Hula, Irish step dancing, and Ukrainian dancing.

Revered Commander, Maligned General

The Life of Clarence Ransom Edwards, 1859-1931

By: Michael E. Shay

Major General Clarence Ransom Edwards is a vital figure in American military history, yet his contribution to the U.S. efforts in World War I has often been ignored or presented in unflattering terms. Most accounts focus on the disagreements he had with General John J. Pershing, who dismissed Edwards from the command of the 26th (“Yankee”) Division just weeks before the war's end. The notoriety of the Pershing incident has caused some to view Edwards as simply a “political general” with a controversial career. But Clarence Edwards, though often a divisive figure, was a greater man than that. A revered and admired officer whose men called him “Daddy,” Edwards attained an impressive forty-year career, one matched by few wartime leaders. Michael E. Shay presents a complete portrait of this notable American and his many merits in Revered Commander, Maligned General. This long-overdue first full-length biography of General Clarence Edwards opens with his early years in Cleveland, Ohio and his turbulent times at West Point. The book details the crucial roles Edwards filled in staff and field commands for the Army before the outbreak of World War I in 1917: Adjutant-General with General Henry Ware Lawton in the Philippine-American War, first chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs, and commander of U.S. forces in the Panama Canal Zone. Revered Commander, Maligned General follows Edwards as he forms the famous Yankee Division and leads his men into France. The conflict between Edwards and Pershing is placed in context, illuminating the disputes that led to Edwards being relieved of command. This well-researched biography quotes a wealth of primary sources in recounting the life of an important American, a man of loyalty and service who is largely misunderstood. Photographs of Edwards, his troops, and his kin—many from Edwards’ own collection—complement the narrative. In addition, several maps aid readers in following General Edwards as his career moves from the U.S. to Central America to Europe and back stateside. Shay’s portrayalof General Edwards finally provides a balanced account of this unique U.S. military leader.

Techniques in Somatic Cell Genetics

Techniques in Somatic Cell Genetics

By: Jerry W. Shay

Somatic cell genetics is an exciting and rapidly expanding field of research. Since descriptions of the major experimental techniques in the field are scattered throughout various journals and other publications, there is a real need for a single reference source for both established investigators and students in the field. In addition, technical reports are frequently abridged such that many researchers are discouraged from attempting to adopt the appropriate methodology. This book, therefore, describes in detail the many recent technical advances in such areas of somatic cell genetics as transfer mediated by liposomes, erythrocyte ghosts, chromosomes, micro cells, mito chondria, and isolated nuclear DNA. These techniques have increased our understanding of the organization and regulation of eukaryotic cells. The production of antibiotic-resistant cell lines and their use in studying cytoplasmic inheritance are also included. Evidence for the cytoplasmic regulation of nuclear gene expression in eukaryotic cells is rapidly accumu lating following the characterization of cytoplasmic mutations. The produc tion of nuclear-coded mutations, their use in standard cell hybridization, and recent advances in techniques for fusing whole cells or cell components are also described.

Blood in the Wilderness

The Story of the Harps, America's First Serial Klr

By: Jack Edward Shay

Early August, 1799. A wilderness clearing along the Mud River...a few miles northeast of Russellville, a small town in the vast, nearly unbroken frontier of western Kentucky. A pioneer family has stopped to rest. Two men. Three women. Three babies. A string of pack horses. It has been an exhausting journey, a dangerous one at times. The men are about thirty, the women some five to ten years younger. Each woman has a baby, her own child. The children, two girls and a boy, range from four to six months in age. The day is hot. The shallow river is cool. Shade trees provide a measure of relief from the sticky humidity, the baking heat. The men stretch out along the banks of the river. The women tend to their children's needs, then place them down and stretch out themselves. Everyone drinks from the stream. They have been traveling forever. Or, at least, it seems that way. They're tired. They just want to rest before they must move out again, always pushing on, always in search of their destination in an unforgivingly harsh wilderness, battling tremendous odds against their very survival. They carry all their worldly possessions with them. True pioneers, they live off the land, taking from it what they need to eke out another day of life in the new American world of democracy and free enterprise. Suddenly, one of the babies cries. It is one of the girls, this one only four months old. One of the men rouses himself from his rest. He makes his way to the crying infant. The man is both a husband and a father, and he is with his family. A touching scene seems about to ensue. A father lovingly tending his irritable child all alone in the wilderness. A loving man doting on his daughter's needs. He picks the child up. But this is no ordinary family. And this is no ordinary man. The man is Micajah Harp, and he is wanted by the law. Even at this moment, there is a price on his head, and posses are after him. They might hear the wail of the infant and swoop down on the family and arrest them. Micajah must do something. He must silence the baby. He picks the child up by her feet and swings her against the side of the tree. Her head smashes against the unrelenting wood. The breath of life leaves her instantly. He then tosses the lifeless body into the woods. He signals the rest of the family to rise to their feet. They do so, and the family moves deeper into the wilderness. They are the Harps. America's first and most brutal serial killers. God help anyone who gets in their way. *********************************************************** They were "the most brutal monsters of the human race" to those who knew them...ruthless and indiscriminate barbarians terrorizing an innocent America...unconscionable brutes inflicting savagery upon anyone they encountered. They sought little in life save the very survival necessary to maintain their bloodlust. It mattered little where or with whom they lived. They cheated and tormented at will and killed for the sake of killing. Their adult lives became a continual exercise in abject, unrepentant evil. During a reign of horror engulfing Kentucky, Tennessee, and Illinois, they became the scourge of the late 18th-century American frontier. They killed anywhere from two dozen to four dozen men, women, and children before justice caught up with them. They were the historical prototypes of later killers - Billy the Kid, Bonnie and Clyde, and Jeffrey Dahmer - but they far exceeded them in brutality and criminal enormity. They were the Harps...Micajah, the older and bigger; Wiley, the younger and smaller...Big Harp and Little Harp, as they were commonly called. And they were America's first serial killers. This is their story. "Blood in the Wilderness: The Story of the Harps, America's First Serial Killers" includes a bibliography of seventy-five sources.

Home For Christmas

By: Kathryn Shay

Secrets and lies. Mistaken identity. All wrapped up in a touching Christmas theme of forgiveness and second chances. That’s HOME FOR CHRISTMAS (formerly published as A CHRISTMAS LEGACY) by NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Kathryn Shay. Nominated for RT Book Reviews Best Superromance in 2000 when Kathryn Shay was named Storyteller of the Year in 2001, both by RT Book Reviews. “Ms. Shay explores the emotional balance between anger and forgiveness via richly drawn characters and compelling conflict.” RT Book Reviews When Jacob Steele returns home after fifteen years, it isn’t to reconnect with the town that loved him. Instead, his motivation is purely financial. He needs capital and he isn't above claiming the inheritance bequeathed to him by the father whom he felt betrayed him. Unfortunately for the man who now calls himself Jay Lawrence, the inheritance comes with conditions. These conditions will keep Jay in Riverbend for a month working in the family bookstore. If he decides not to fulfill the terms, the bookstore and the farmhouse he used to cherish go to the manager, Kate McMann. Jay isn't about to let a woman, whose ambiguous relationship with his father is questionable, get her hands on his inheritance. Keeping his identity a secret, he sets out to confront her, never knowing that she and her twin daughters will change his plans, not to mention his life, forever in this story of redemption and second chances. Praise for HOME FOR CHRISTMAS: “Kathryn Shay is one of the most talented authors on the category romance scene. Her books are always intelligent, her characters realistic, and her plots believable. Hope Santa drops this one into your stocking!” The Romance Reader “Shay has written a heart wrenching, deeply moving story of the restorative power of love.” Old Book Barn Gazette If you like this holiday romance be sure to check out other Kathryn Shay books with a Christmas romance theme: BECAUSE IT’S CHRISTMAS, CHASING THE FIRE (FLASHOVER) and THE HEART OF CHRISTMAS anthology.
