The Morrison Hotel anthology written by Leah Moore, in
collaboration with the surviving members of the legendary rock band
and drawn by artists from around the comic book world, will weave
the band's influence into some of the lore that led to their status
as the architects of counterculture, influencing artists, poets,
and outsiders for generations to come, set against the backdrop of
the close of the free spirit of the 1960s into the tumultuous
1970s. A decade in which women, African Americans, Native
Americans, gays, lesbians and other marginalized people continued
their fight for equality, and many Americans joined the protest
against the ongoing war in Vietnam.

This is the third of three volumes of "Keys to the Trematoda," a
series on the systematics and identification of the Class
Trematoda. It covers five superfamilies with the Order
"Plagiorchiida" and the family "Didymozoidae," with the keys for
their identification at the family, subfamily and generic levels.
It also includes a key to all dignean superfamilies, including
those treated in detail in volumes one and two.
The purpose of this small book is to offer thinking people, who are
disenchanted with the presentation of organised religion, a concise
philosophy that is logical as well as being a practical structure
upon which to build a worthwhile life.
Photographers Linda and Robert Scarth have an incredible eye for
that magic moment when small becomes beautiful. Matched with
patience and skill, their eye for magic produces dazzling images of
Iowa nature up close. Revealing the miniature beauties hidden among
the patches of prairie, woodland, and wetland that remain in Iowa's
sadly overdeveloped landscape, the seventy-five color photographs
in "Deep Nature" give us a breathtaking cross section of the
state's smallest inhabitants.
The Scarths' close-up images of showy orchis and northern
monkshood, great spangled fritillary and painted lady, red-breasted
nuthatch and eastern wood-pewee, ornate box turtle and gray
treefrog, big bluestem and cotton-grass, and many other natural
wonders look more like paintings than photographs. Beginning with
an iridescent fly hovering over a neon-purple fringed gentian and
ending with their iconic image of coneflowers refracted in
dewdrops, they have created a sparkling jewelbox of images that
will make us look at the small world around us with renewed
appreciation.
Attending to the small things in the fabric of nature is the
Scarths' source of artistic inspiration. Taking Walt Whitman's
"every leaf is a miracle" as their beginning, they celebrate not
only each leaf but each feather, insect, dewdrop, flower, lichen,
and intricate organism in the evolving web of life.
