Philadelphia & London: W. B. Saunders Co., 1946 Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Sixth Edition. This post World War II revision edition is geared towards those students "seeking education in both the theory and applications of chemistry". Illustrated. Few minor exterior marks.., W. B. Saunders Co., 1946, New York, New York, U.S.A.: Tor Books, 2001. First printing; full-numberline. Moderate cover, edge wear. Pages very good. Bind good. In the sequel to The Visitant, archaeologist Dusty Stewart calls on his arch nemesis, Dr. Maureen Cole, hoping she can help unravel the mystery of a ceremonial chamber filled with the burned bodies of thirty-three children and two adults. Book two in this Anasazi series, in which archaeologist-authors Kathleen O'Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear introduce readers to murder, mayhem, and the myriad details of life in a 13th-century Native American pueblo including Chaco Canyon and many miles around. In both novels, the narrative arcs between the present and the past, drawing aside the seemingly thin veil of time that separates them. As archaeologist characters, Dusty Stewart and Maureen Cole, sift through an ancient Anasazi kiva, attempting to understand the circumstances that could have led to the presence of charred children's bodies in the ceremonial chamber, we also see the members of the pueblo as they move toward the terrible destruction so carefully unearthed by Stewart and Cole. This narrative device isn't revolutionary, but it is clever and fulfils the demands of classic mystery plotting (there is a corpse, but who did it), while the reader lives simultaneously in the worlds of evidence creation and deduction. The Anasazi characters will be familiar to readers of The Visitant: warriors Browser and Catkin, holy men Springbank and Stone Ghost, and the witch Two Hearts continue to move silently through the sand and sagebrush, circling through a world marked by warring religions and vanishing resources. When Browser and Catkin find a mutilated old woman surrounded by the skulls of her clan, they must summon all their courage to combat what surely must be witchcraft--or is it? The characters are vibrantly drawnand renders the lives and habits of the Anasazi in compelling detail: we learn that they used blazing star petals for perfume and that their ceremonial purification rites included cornmeal and ground seashells. A thirst for territory, and a proclivity to holy wars are threads that bind modernity to the Anasazi. 566 pages.. First Edition. Paperback.

Poor in Very Good jacket VERY GOOD TIGHT COPY IN A VERY GOOD DUST JACKET. ILLUSTRATED WITH COLOR AND BLACK AND WHITE RENDITIONS OF ARMY GEAR FROM AROUND THE WORLD. 165 PAGES., NEW ORCHARD EDITIONS, 1986, 3, HarperCollins Publishers India, 2008. Softcover. New. A novel that spans several generations and seven tumultuous decades, The Healing is remarkable for the disarming simplicity with which it signposts the changing ways of contemporary India. The Babri masjid falls on the day Ramanujam, patriarch and freedom fighter, is rushed into hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest. As his wife and family stand vigil by his bedside, a second demolition is waiting to throw their lives out of gear- Shanti Nivas, the sprawling family property they have lived in for over seventy years, is to be transformed into modern apartments where all the members of the family find individual homes and possibly, an entirely different way of life. Told from the perspective of Ramanujam`s younger daughter Bharati, this evocative novel set in Chennai maps the memories of Shanti Nivas and its residents. Past loves and unresolved conflicts war with the reality of present-day relationships as Bharati and her husband Krishna confront their old nemesis, doctor and sometime friend Manohar. The situation is further complicated when their older daughter Jayanti declares her intention to marry a colleague- a man who is not part of their community, or caste, or even religion.
