Finally Fyreback settles into a proper job. Bringing rough justice
to all who are oppressed in these troubled times, and the Law such
as it is, has no legal jurisdiction. He learns a few extra skills
on the way, diplomacy doesna t seem to be one of them, but be sure
his Cleaver plays ita s part. Will this be the wind down to a
stable married life and family. Again who can say, now possessing a
Wife and Child with another to yet be born, peace and quiet will
return to the Border with a new Monarch to rule both Scotland and
England under one Crown, but that is still a few years ahead.
Towards the latter part of the 16th century, the power held by the
Catholic Church in Scotland was to be wrested from Rome and
replaced by the reformed movement of Protestantism. Various methods
of coercion were employed to recruit converts, accusations of
witchcraft and direct aggravation against the Catholic
establishment were common ploys. When Fyreback's family becomes
embroiled in this reformation, it becomes personal. Once again the
cleaver sings its anthem of death, this time to protect the rights
of the common man.
The Anglo Scottish Border in the 16th century was the most violent
period of British history. A young boy's quest for revenge on the
killers of his family sees him blackmailed into the role of hired
assassin. This is the story of how he attains his goal.

Kafka and Pinter is the first major study to focus on the
extraordinary affinity between these two heavyweights of
twentieth-century literature. As well as offering a bold new
interpretation of Kafka's portrayal of the struggle between father
and son in his classic stories The Judgement and The Metamorphosis
, the book seeks to assess and document, through a detailed
exposition of textual and other evidence, the extent to which
Pinter's treatment of the same theme has been influenced by Kafka's
example. Three of Pinter's plays - The Homecoming, Family Voices
and Moonlight - are examined in depth, the last two more
comprehensively perhaps than ever before. Clearly written and
replete with all manner of fascinating parallels and
interconnections, this book commends itself not only to students of
Kafka and/or Pinter, but also to those with a more general interest
in such areas as comparative literature, theatre studies, religion
and psychology.
Master conservator Douglas R. Armstrong imparts his many years of
first-hand, practical experience in the field of marine artifact
conservation within the pages of "Practical Conservation of
Archaeological Objects." This newly updated version for 2012
includes his methods of cleaning coins recovered from a number of
shipwrecks, in particular the inventory of the Chanduy Reef
Capitana, and the Consolacion in Ecuador. This is a manual of
proven methods that all collectors, be they archaeologists or
treasure hunters, at land or at sea, will find indispensable when
restoring and conserving a wide range of objects, ranging from
buttons, cannon, sword handles, or glassware, to pieces of eight.
The author was the first craftsman to handle many objects hereto
untouched by conservators of the day, not the least of which are
delicate pistols, one of the first wrought iron guns, the original
Tumbaga bars of the Bahamas, and a bronze saker made for King Henry
VIII. The book is richly illustrated with before and after photos
of these projects and is fully indexed. The technology and tools
used are described in great detail. Truly, this is a manual that
every conservator needs at hand.

A New American Sculpture, 1914-1945 is the first publication to
situate the individual contributions of Gaston Lachaise, Robert
Laurent, Elie Nadelman, and William Zorach into a compelling
constellation of artists with shared aesthetic and social concerns.
Although each European-born, American artist cultivated his own
distinct style, their creative priorities were all deeply rooted in
quiet composition, synthetic approaches to anatomy, and
architectural unity of curves and volume. At a time when abstract
forms were popular, Lachaise, Laurent, Nadelman, and Zorach were
all ultimately in favor of maintaining the integrity of the human
body to explore modernist styles. This handsome book underscores
their unrelenting search for a novel American visual tradition at
the intersection of modernism, historic visual culture, and
contemporary popular imagery. Distributed for the Portland Museum
