Chamomile Mourning, Gunpowder Green (Tea Shop Mystery, volumes 2, 6)
Laura Childs Manufacturer: Berkley Prime Crime ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: B000SO4KZE |
Product Description
Gunpowder Green: The Indigo Tea Shop, Charleston's favorite spot of tea, has just come out with its latest flavor: Gunpowder Green. Theodosia Browning cannot wait to hear its praises as it is unveiled at the annual yacht race. But when she hears the crack of an antique gun meant to end the race, a member of Charleston's elite falls dead. Theodosia has a hunch that his demise was no accicent-and will go out of her way to prove it. But if she doesn't act fast, Theo will find herself in hot water with some boiling-mad Charlestonians-and more than a little gun-chai. Chamomile Mourning: Charleston, S.C., is alive with music, dancing, and the arts as the Spoleto festival gets underway. But Indigo Tea Ship owner Theodosia Browning feels far from festive when the inaugural Poet's Tea is forced into one of the Heritage Society's austere halls by rain. And when it rains, it pours-as proven when a respected auction house owner plummets from the balcony, landing dead on Therdosia's specially-prepared cake. Worse yet, it looks like someone helped him over the edge. With a full kettle of suspects, Theodosia pursues an investigation into the murky swamps of the Low Country, where she uncovers a thriving criminal enterprise of art forgery, fraud-and murder.

ASIN: 0671047426 Release Date: 2000-08-29 |
Amazon.com
The same bizarre mixture of ingredients that has turned Kinky Friedman from a country musician into a popular mystery writer and hero of his own series continues in this exercise oddity, which, true to form, seems to contain something to offend virtually everyone. "If you spend a little time with lesbians and nuns, you begin to see the effect love or the absence of it can have on a human life," muses the Kinkster at one point. This comes after a campaign by Friedman to terrorize his upstairs neighbor, Winnie Katz, whose lesbian dance classes have caused the ceiling of his Greenwich Village loft to collapse. But Kinky's amateur terrorism pales by comparison to the mysterious person who wants to do some real damage to Winnie, so Friedman and his Village Irregulars turn from aggressors to protectors. Surrounded by Italian gangsters with names like Linguini and Gepetto, they plan a weird revenge scheme that involves such horrors as chainsaws and Friedman in a red wig.The title--usually the best thing about a Kinkster book--has to do with which particular member of his motley crew will be officially chosen to play Watson to his Sherlock. But even here there are no clear answers: as Friedman says, "President Clinton is Watson. The Chinese dwarf who paints pastels on Mott Street is Watson. The world is Watson. Only Sherlock Holmes stands achingly alone on the weather-beaten, worm-eaten cross of rational thought. Sherlock Holmes, you see, is the thinking man's Jesus Christ."
--Dick Adler
Book Description
How many lesbians can dance on the head of a pin? Kinky Friedman sure as hell doesn't know, but he's learning exactly how many it takes to send the geriatric plaster tumbling from the ceiling of his downtown New York loft. The culprit is one Winnie Katz, man-hating proprietress of a lesbian dance troupe that thunders daily through his waking dreams. And when Winnie won't even give it enough of a rest to let Kinky patch the hole, our hero, lost in a blue-gray haze of Irish whiskey and cigar smoke, takes drastic action. He pens an anonymous, threatening note, hoping -- as only one lost in an alcohol-soaked fantasy can hope -- to then step in as "Ace Private Big Dick" Friedman, and save the day, thus earning the undying gratitude of Ms. Winnie.Besides, just as Sherlock Holmes had his Watson, the Kinkster needs a suitable sidekick, and what better test? He calls on each of his Village Irregulars to solve the case: reporter Mike McGovern; Dylan look-alike Ratso Sloman; investigator Steve Rambam; and his own lady love, the delicious Stephanie Dupont. But things get dicey when the bogus death threat turns all too real, and suddenly Kinky and his Keystone crime fighters find themselves dancing -- none too daintily -- for their lives.

A Great Introduction.......2004-01-15
The book examines the social divisions of this period. The four main groups are the samurai, the farmers, the craftsmen, and the merchants. Each group has an entire section devoted to it which details the lifestyle of each group. After this, several outsider groups are considered. The book ends with a general overview of life in the old capital Edo which is now called Tokyo. For those who are looking for a resource for information on the world of the samurai, this book gives a good overview of their world.
My only complaint about this book is that it was published in 1969, so the writing style feels a little dated and it seems it was written for a Western audience which was unfamiliar with Japanese culture. Basically, it's style is dated, but the information is accurate and useful. Anyone who is interested in Japan and doesn't know well about the history of Japan will find this to be a great introduction
Extremely Useful Book!.......1999-12-01

Gog and Magog: The Giants in Guildhall; Their Real and Legendary History With an Account of Other Civic Giants, at Home and Abroad
Frederick W. Fairholt Manufacturer: Book Tree ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1585090840 |
Book Description
The Giants in Guildhall; Their Real and Legendary History, with an Account of Other Giants at Home and Abroad, by F.W. Fairholt. Legends of giants go as far back in human history as we can remember. One of the areas steeped in this lore is England. The stories contained in this book had been passed down for centuries, up until the original publication of this book in 1859. Since that time these stories have disappeared. Therefore, we have chosen to preserve the legends in this book. These fascinating tales should cause one to wonder if giants had truly existed sometime in our remote past.

The New Basics: A-to-Z Baby & Child Care for the Modern Parent
Michel Cohen Manufacturer: Collins ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0060535482 Release Date: 2004-12-28 |
Amazon.com
Pediatrician Michel Cohen delights in offering anxious parents unconventional wisdom about children and toddlers: "less medicine is often the best medicine." Following an A to Z format, Cohen successfully skewers myths about every aspect of childcare. Using generic case kids "Lucy" and "Jimmy," and "real questions from real parents" he offers a compendium of health care information. Whether talking about behavior (bed-wetting, thumb sucking, school anxiety), symptoms (green mucus, earwax or eczema), or prevention (immunization, vitamins, toothbrushing), Cohen's approach is fresh and his tone is wise and wry--when discussing the drawbacks of medication for carsickness, he suggests that the best remedy is a plastic bag. Consistent core beliefs underline Cohen's alphabet: Doctors should not medicate all ills, antibiotics weaken natural immunity, you can't spoil your baby, but you can spoil your life. This practical, enjoyable guide is limited only by its short A-Z format--the information is so clear and valuable that parents will surely want to hear more from Dr. Cohen. --Barbara MackoffBook Description
