THE SECOND DEATHWORLD NOVEL That mores is strictly a matter of local custom cannot be denied. But that ethics is pure opinion also. . . ? Maybe there are times for murder, and theft and slavery. . . .
Harry's Secret is a spicy autobiographical novel with two interconnected love triangles: The first involves Harry, a bitter 86-year-old prisoner of war hero; his lovely daughter, Melissa, 38, a graphic artist and psychic; and Mark, a 64-year-old Coloring Book Artist, novelist, and unabashed storyteller who inadvertently comes between them. The second triangle includes sexy Kate, 77, Mark's best friend; Kate's handsome 55-year-old lover, Jorge; and the bitter and jealous Harry. The story begins in an idyllic Mexican seaside village, moves to New Mexico, crosses several American states to California, and is peppered along the way with travel snippets from South America, Europe, and Africa. Ronald L. Donaghe - Professional Evaluation Editor: "This is some of the best characterization I've seen in a work. The descriptions are concrete, with great, vivid, relevant detail. From start to finish this is a satisfying read involving human nature, human weakness, the urge for happiness and fulfillment, and all sorts of human interaction with one another and with the environment. There is a very clever plot of just what it is that makes Harry a bitter old man." The sequel, Diary of a True Christian (year?), explores the need for a coalition in America between Environmentalists and Christians. Carl, introduced in Harry's Secret, authors the Diary. Ron Stock lives with his love, Melody, in the mountains of New Mexico, but his creative heart resides in the juxtaposition of colors on canvas and the arrangement of words on paper. He's an award winning poet and painter, and a Sanctioned Director with the American Contract Bridge League.

Who is Harry Redknapp? Football genius or football chancer? Master tactician or practical joker? How is it that even when he was facing court proceedings for tax evasion so many people were still seriously tipping him to be the next England manager? How can one man have two such diametrically opposed and incompatible career trajectories? Does the longing to have an English manager in charge of the national side warp people's thinking?'To Portsmouth fans, Redknapp was the man who walked on water and won them an FA Cup. To Southampton fans, he is still the devil incarnate who had them relegated before jumping ship to their arch rivals. Spurs fans aren't sure what he is, bit don't care as long as he keeps the team together and winning. Sometimes he's the Messiah, at others the clown. Whoever he is, Crace is determined to find out.
Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music

Released in 1952, The Anthology of American Folk Music was the singular vision of the enigmatic artist, musicologist, and collector Harry Smith (1923–1991). A collection of eighty-four commercial recordings of American vernacular and folk music originally issued between 1927 and 1932, the Anthology featured an eclectic and idiosyncratic mixture of blues and hillbilly songs, ballads old and new, dance music, gospel, and numerous other performances less easy to classify.Where previous collections of folk music, both printed and recorded, had privileged field recordings and oral transmission, Smith purposefully shaped his collection from previously released commercial records, pointedly blurring established racial boundaries in his selection and organisation of performances. Indeed, more than just a ground-breaking collection of old recordings, the Anthology was itself a kind of performance on the part of its creator.Over the six decades of its existence, however, it has continued to exert considerable influence on generations of musicians, artists, and writers. It has been credited with inspiring the North American folk revival—"The Anthology was our bible", asserted Dave Van Ronk in 1991, "We all knew every word of every song on it"—and with profoundly influencing Bob Dylan. After its 1997 release on CD by Smithsonian Folkways, it came to be closely associated with the so-called Americana and Alt-Country movements of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Following its sixtieth birthday, and now available as a digital download and rereleased on vinyl, it is once again a prominent icon in numerous musical currents and popular culture more generally.This is the first book devoted to such a vital piece of the large and complex story of American music and its enduring value in American life. Reflecting the intrinsic interdisciplinarity of Smith’s original project, this collection contains a variety of new perspectives on all aspects of the Anthology.

Harry Mount's Odyssey: Ancient Greece in the Footsteps of Odysseus is a journey round Greece inspired by the heroes, locations and tales of the Odyssey and tracing ancient Greek civilization at its height.Architecture, art, sculpture, economics, mathematics, science, metaphysics, comedy, tragedy, drama and epic poetry were all devised and perfected by the Greeks. Of the four classical orders of architecture, three were invented by the Greeks and the fourth, the only one the Romans could come up with, was a combination of two of the former.The powerful ghost of ancient Greece still lingers on in the popular mind as the first great civilization and one of the most influential in the creation of modern thought. It is the starting block of Western European civilization.In his new Odyssey, eminent writer Harry Mount tells the story of ancient Greece while on the trail of its greatest son, Odysseus. In the charming, anecdotal style of his bestselling Amo, Amas, Amat and All That, Harry visits Troy, still looming over the plain where Achilles dragged Hector's body through the dust, and attempts to swim the Hellespont, in emulation of Lord Byron and the doomed Greek lover, Leander. Whether in Odysseus's kingdom on Ithaca, Homer's birthplace of Chios or the Minotaur's lair on Crete, Mount brings the Odyssey - and ancient Greece - back to life.
