Book Description
Before her expatriation in the United States after the events on Tiananmen Square in June 1989, Ai Bei was recognized in her homeland as one of the outstanding talents of a new generation of young Chinese writers. Red Ivy, Green Earth Mother contains three of her best short stories and a novella and represents the first of her work to be translated into English. Provocative, shocking, and always interesting, her work strikes a universal chord while illuminating a culture and society that for many people seems clouded in mystery and stereotypes. Readers will be surprised and intrigued by the revelatory power and sensual quality of Ai Bei’s writing and its insights into women’s roles in contemporary China.
“With these hauntingly dark but beautifully written and translated stories of the defoliation of beauty and sensuality, Chinese fiction takes a great leap forward onto the stage of contemporary world fiction. Through Ai Bei’s searing, honest narrative of a woman’s interior battle to remain human, we become privy to a whole new dimension of China’s heroic efforts to once again ‘liberate’ itself.”
—Orville H. Schell

Description:
Margery Jourdemayne, the 'witch of Eye next Westminster', Eleanor, duchess of Gloucester, and three scholars of the ducal household were foremost amongst those accused of treasonable witchcraft in 1441. The paper explores Margery's part in this episode, and then examines her background: her husband William came from a prosperous Middlesex yeoman family living at Acton, and he himself was a manorial official on Westminster Abbey's Ebury (Eye) estate.

During the British Raj, the Khyber Pass ?
Customer Reviews:
A classic novel of adventure with a tinge of fantasy, as a princess skilled in the mystical arts seeks to conquer India .......2006-08-27
King--of the Khyber Rifles, as Mundy's third novel, is the first work to reveal the unique talent and archetypes that would emerge throughout his oeuvre. Mundy imagines a set of incredible places, situations, and characters, using all of the imagination of which he was capable at the time across such topics as the army, the secret service, a powerful woman, hidden caves, secret wisdom, a mad mullah, war, and indigenous peoples. King--of the Khyber Rifles has attained a certain classic status through his arrangement of these plot elements into mythic form. (To read more about Mundy's writing career, see my book, Talbot Mundy: Philosopher of Adventure, by Brian Taves.)
The unusual name of Mundy's hero, Athelstan King, is an inversion of the name and title of the tenth century ruler who became the first Saxon to govern all of England. Creating the English civil service, King Athelstan established legal codes and led a victory over an alliance of Norse, Scots, and Strathclyde Britons invading England. Like his namesake, Mundy's hero saves India from a foreign invasion brewing in the Khinjan Caves beyond the Khyber, which Yasmini hopes to lead.
Mathematics is the key to King's character; he relies on its logic and immutability to both govern his actions and resist Yasmini. He also studies medicine for relaxation, allowing him to adopt the disguise of the Indian physician ("hakim"), Kurram Khan. The country is as much his own as if he belonged to her indigenous races. Like Yasmini, with her background of both Russian and Indian ancestry, but reared in India, King is also a child of the country, despite being of English blood.
King is ready to lay down his life to preserve the peace of India, to prevent India from becoming a new front in World War I. Yet, from the outset of King--of the Khyber Rifles, Mundy demonstrated his increasing habit of reversing the imperialist presuppositions of colonial adventure. Unlike most previous chroniclers of British India, Mundy takes his hero well beyond the territorial and spiritual realms of English control. King provides a surrogate for the white, Western reader into a land far beyond their knowledge or domain, where all characters and power are in the hands of Moslem Indians. King's adventure in the Khyber Pass and Khinjan Caves is at once both a patriotic mission and a journey of metaphysical discovery, an initiation.
Within the Khinjan Caves, Yasmini has discovered the sleepers, a legend known to the hillmen as "the Heart of the Hills," the remarkably well-preserved corpses of a forgotten Roman warrior and the woman who inspired his brief conquest of the East. Their physical resemblance to Yasmini and King is uncanny. Yasmini hopes to use the legend of the "Heart of the Hills" to convince the hillmen that she and King are reincarnations of the dead pair, ready to resume their conquest. In this way Mundy also begins the theme of reincarnation in his writing, while not yet suggesting his actual belief in the phenomenon. Through a magical crystal, King and Yasmini are able to see events in the lives of the "sleepers." Previously, Yasmini has read King's thoughts, yet Mundy handles both these fantastic elements in a restrained, spare, and realistic manner.
In the test of wills between Yasmini and King, he maintains the greater self-mastery. Both are reluctant to admit their increasing love for one another, which would compromise their respective missions. Just as Yasmini has been unable to kill King, despite his interference in her plans, King is barely able to resist her spell. He is unable to harm her and indeed hopes for a conclusion that will allow him to serve her. There can be no surrender into the arms of the other for either King or Yasmini. King cannot be said to have triumphed over her, because to preserve the status quo is a far different task from Yasmini's dream of reviving an empire. Hence, even in defeat Yasmini retains her imperiousness, while in victory King retains his dignity and humility.
Throughout King--of the Khyber Rifles, Mundy turns conventional assumptions and metaphors on their head to reveal new perspectives, spanning the political to the sexual realm. All of the unexpected reversals and multiple roles of the hero and heroine add depth to both the plot and the leads. This reaches its apex with a major character, Rewa Gunga, who early in the novel King had anxiously suspected of being one of Yasmini's past or present lovers. Instead, Rewa Gunga is revealed as Yasmini herself in disguise. Just as Yasmini had been hired by the British to defuse a rebellion she was leading, and King went into Khinjan as an Indian, now Yasmini is disclosed as one of her own supporting characters.
Although some of the experiences of King and Yasmini resemble those of Ayesha, "She-who-must-be-obeyed," in Haggard's She, and its prequel Ayesha, the style and interpretation are different. Both Haggard and Mundy use a white man's journey to a remote area, where both Ayesha and Yasmini reside in underground caves. Unlike Ayesha's other-worldliness, and ties to ancient times, Yasmini is no superwoman who has overcome mortality to live on through the centuries. Instead she is a 20th century woman, whose dreams would only be possible in the present and whose interest in the past is the power it can give her today.
Mundy's style is elliptical and oblique, in a natural rather than affected manner, with numerous arresting juxtapositions, such as his summation of the Khyber as "haunted after dark by the men whose blood-feuds are too reeking raw to let them dare go home and for whom the British hangman very likely waits a mile or two farther south." The book is also full of telling details that add a sense of authenticity, despite the likelihood that they came largely from Mundy's imagination.
Mundy is one of the best!!!!!!!.......2005-04-05
King of the Khyber Rifles (KOTKR) is just one of the great books that Talbot Mundy wrote. It was one of his first books and one of his best. This book and many of his others not only inspired other early writers like Robert E Howard but they also inspired more modern authors. In Robert Heinlein's Glory Road, Heinlein refers to Tros of Samothrace (a Mundy character). S. M. Stirling in Peshawar Lancers is obviously paying tribute to Mundy and other pulp writers of the time. Fritz Leiber (look up author on amazon.com if you are unaware of this science fiction and fantasy author's work. His "Fafhred and the Grey Mouser" series is on a par with Conan.) wrote an entire essay on how the "Tros of Samothrace" was one of his favorite set of books to read. If you haven't read any Mundy books yet, KOTKR and the Tros of Samothrace series are the best ones to start with. My comparision of Mundy and Kipling is that Kipling wrote from the typical British Colonialist's point of view. Mundy not only loved India, he "lived" India and Mundy's books reflect this. (Sidebar note of interest - Mundy hated being compared to Kipling. He preferred that his writing be compared to H. R. Haggard.) And if that wasn't enough, Mundy's chief characters (King, Jimgrim and Tros) all have a depth of intellect not seen in most of today's writing. Also many of Mundy's books have a surprising amount of mysticism and spirituality that adds immensely to the allure and intrigue of the storyline.
Like the Kyber Pass? Don't pass this one up.......1999-07-29
I couldn't agree more with the earlier reviewer. Mundy is one of my favorite 'adventure' novelists, and this is one of his better works. He's almost forgotten today, but as a pulp writer he kept many on the edge of their seats 60 years ago. If you like E.R. Burroughs, Sax Rohmer or Robert E. Howard, this is one you shouldn't miss (Howard based one of his characters, 'Francis X Gordon on Mundy's King) If you liked R. Kiplings 'Kim'...imagine Kim grown up. Exotic love interest, intrique,a keen eye for native customs of 100 years ago, swords and blazing pistols, charging lancers on a path 6 feet wide, with death inches away over the edge 3000 feet to the canyon below...'King, of the Khyber Rifles' is about a British officer involved in the 'mysticism' of then-forbidden Tibet, includes frequent skirmishes with skulking mountain warriors, the old 'keeping the Khyber pass open' ploy, oh just read it. Mix up a peg of whiskey-soda, and escape the mundane last years of the 20th century. You can't go wrong with Talbot Mundy.
Wow!.......1999-05-03
Imagine Kipling writing about India... now imagine the same stories as rewrittten by Edgar Rice Burroughs, but an ERB that actually sounds as if he's been in the places he's writing about. And all the detail of a George Macdonald Fraser novel... Then you throw in some mystic stuff that makes William S. Burroughs sound illiterate, add a pinch of "Boys Own Stories" or "Biggles" or whatever then light a match... this is one amazing novel, it really is.

A Lost Classic.......1997-06-16
Thirty years ago, this was one of the "Classics Illustrated" comics, and it made a big impression on me as a kid. Now, having visited India and studied its history, returning to the story in book form resonated on several levels. Mundy is a piercing observer of human nature as manifested in the diverse peoples of India and their British imperialist masters. He is also a master of graphic description. This swashbuckling tale of fantasy and adventure lets him be Edgar Rice Burroughs and Rudyard Kipling at the same time. It's exhilirating, thought-provoking, and a great memoir of the not-so-distant days when fantasy worlds could still be postulated for this planet. Read it, and then read "The Nine Unknown", by the same author

Colorado Cache.......2007-10-09
Junior League cookbooks can be a mixed bag. But generally keep in mind that they represent a community's best cooks showing off for attention.
Southern cookbooks should reflect Southern cooking traditions and so on.
Colorado Cache is a very inviting collection of newer cooking traditions, often new twists on older recipes. Great gift for newlyweds, as it reflects more recent but dependable trends in cuisine. Always keep in mind that a Jr. League cookbook has earned its price if it only generates 4 to 6 favorite recipes for you! Colorado Cache provides wonderful Denver summer and winter favorites.
It's still the best.......2005-04-29
and is the only Denver Junior League cookbook that features original art, easy to use recipes, and is truly a classic.
Great Cookbook for families.......2001-07-11
I grew up eating many meals made from this cook book! And now I use it for my own family. There are great recipes that are not difficult, not time consuming, and use all the basics you already have in your kitchen. Healthy cooking too! I like the Chicken Spagetti-great for potluck dinners!
The Best.......2000-04-17
I bought a second Colorado Cache as I have worn out the first book. Recipes are fantastic, especially the chicken salad.
great book.......1999-08-30
This is a good basic cook book, nothing fancy. The spices used are in your rack already. Super for people like me who like to cook but do not have time or experience for fancy cooking.
Book Description
For more than 30 years, Lee Ziegler has been one of the foremost advocates of gaited horses in North America and Europe. Through her writing and in her clinics, she has introduced countless riders to the pleasures of riding a horse that is calm, obedient, relaxed, alert, sure-footed, easily maneuvered, and consistent in his gait.
Now, in Easy-Gaited Horses, Ziegler offers a comprehensive guide to riding and training gaited pleasure horses. And unlike the old methods that called for manipulation of a horse's hooves or other gimmicks that could be cruel, Ziegler offers training methods that are gentle, humane, and produce a gaited horse that can be ridden in his gait barefoot, trimmed to his natural angles, with a mild bit, or even without one.
Ziegler begins by defining various types of gaits, explaining how they look to an observer and how they feel to the rider. Next, adopting a whole-body approach to training, she reveals the importance of understanding equine anatomy. She then discusses how to introduce the horse to a variety of gaits: the ordinary walk, the flat walk, the fox trot, the running walk, the saddle rack, and the canter. She explains how to ride a multi-gaited horse, how to handle gait problems, and even how to retrain an easy-gaited show horse for pleasure riding. Ziegler also discusses how to train gaited foals and colts and explains what preparation is necessary before taking the young horse on his first ride.
As riders grow older, comfort on horseback becomes more of an issue. That's where easy-gaited horses step in. Their unique, smooth gaits allow riders to enjoy time in the saddle with minimal physical exertion.

Some Pretty Good Info Here.......2007-06-02
As someone preparing to breed an Arabian stallion to a Spanish Mustang mare with gaited lines, I was curious about what a possibly gaited foal might be like. However, I found the drawings hard to understand in relation to "seeing" how gaited horses moved. Other than that, the book had some useful and informative information about the various gaited breeds.
Gittee up.......2007-02-17
2 dimensional pictures and descriptions just can't cover the subject. Need a visual with it.
Good but nothing new.......2007-01-09
Well I have several books on gaited horses, such as Gaits of Gold and I have David Lichman's video on training for gait. If you have no other books or reference material it is a good book, but if you have a few already it does not cover anything new. It is a good buy for the price, though, as the other gaited books and video I have were more expensive.
Excellent Training Resource........2006-04-10
This is a great book for anyone training a gaited horse, especially if you are new to gaited breeds. I am working with a young Rocky Mountain mare and every problem that comes up from gentle shying to pacing is covered in this book. The techniques are clearly outlined, and with patience and repetition are very effective.
Excellent Book for Gaited Horse Owners.......2006-03-16
I attended two of Lee Zieglers clinics. This book is a culmination of the stuff she taught at the clinics. It is easy to read, and full of advice. One of the things i like about this book is it is geared toward getting the gaited horse to do a gait that the horse WANTS to do naturally, not necessarily what the horse is SUPPOSED to do due to breed typing. for example, some walking horses will tend to foxtrot instead of run walk, as well as some foxtrotters will lean toward run walking instead of foxtrotting. this book helps enhance the natural gait the horse is built to perform. not necessarily what his breeding dictates.

Don't Write Off This Book So Quickly!.......2006-12-10
Indeed, much of this tale is apparently not true. The editor (Richard Batman) makes this clear from the get-go, and points out the most obvious whoppers with plenty of footnotes and clarifications. He also tells you that the publisher, Timothy Flint, admitted to adding some "topographical illustrations," whatever that means. As you read it, you can inherently sense when the authorship changes, since Pattie's writing style seems to involve an excessive use of commas.
So, what is the value of this book? Regardless of historical accuracy, this is still a reprint of a book that came out in 1831. That in itself gives it historical value, whether fact or fiction. The scenery, the sentiments, the lifestyle - they are all authentic to their time, and offer a window to the past from some primary source, whomever that may be. The relationships between the whites and the Indians are typical of any of the "mountain man" books you may choose to read, which may be more true than this. However I found the interactions between the Americans and the Spanish-Mexicans much more revealing and intriguing. The last third of the book, which depicts Pattie's experiences in California (with many events confirmed by other sources), is more personal, and at times heartbreaking. Whether or not he "saved" the population with smallpox vaccine is not half as interesting as his descriptions of the California missions he visited up the coast. As a Californian, I was pleased to read references to the La Brea Tar Pits, and amused to learn that two priests had robbed the St. Buenaventura mission of silver and gold prior to Pattie's arrival.
I would recommend this book for readers who enjoy Mountain Man lore, Southwest/California history, or 19th century "historical" literature. (This book also contains several delightful original illustrations of a somewhat primitive style, reminiscent of Revolutionary Era artwork.)
What's true and what's not? .......2005-05-04
I can't recommend this book because its partly or mostly untrue. Pattie, is one is to believe him, traversed nearly every corner of the old West from 1824 to 1830, participated in countless battles with Indians, rescued Mexican maidens, was one of the first Mountain Men to reach California, became a hero when he vaccinated 18,000 Californians against smallpox, explored large parts of the Rocky Mountains, and ended up in a Mexican jail from whence he made his way back to the United States and dictated his story to a journalist.
Pattie tells a good tale and there is an air of authenticity in many of his travels. He probably saw some country out West, and some of his descriptions are no doubt valuable, but it appears he vastly exaggerated his exploits. The problem with reading the book is that you can't be sure what is truth and what is fiction.
Well, telling whoppers was a tradition among the Mountain Men and Pattie seems to have been a master teller of tall tales -- and smart enough not to make them so tall that they are manifestly untrue. There's enough authentic material about the Mountain Men in the 1820s to ignore this book without loss. If you're captivated by Pattie, the editor, Richard Batman, has written "James Pattie's West" which tries to unravel the truth in this story.

A good idea that is cheerfully decorated........2004-06-07
This hard back journal for projects around the house and details on appliances is a very useful one. You can list the exact date, price and retailer where you purchased items for future reference instead of having to face the chore of 'going through the records'.
The same is true of projects that you're working on, there're places for workmen information and details on what kind of paint you used, what kind of trim you decided on so if you need to contact them later or run back to the store for an additional piece you have it altogether in one convenient place.
The illustrations by Mary Engelbreit are a nice addition to the the book but some of them took up a lot of room that could have been used for more info on that page. Other than that, this book is a winning combination.
If you're stuck on what to give as a wedding or housewarming prezzie, this should solve your quest.
Be Aware.......2003-01-08
Be aware that the reviews refer to the "Home Sweet Home" journal and project planner by Mary Engelbreit and not the organizer alone. The organizer is basically an accordion file that is meant to be used as a supplement to the journal. It is very nice but it's sort of like have a nice digital camera bag without the camera.
A Must For Every Homeowner.......2002-04-15
This is a beautiful book and a brilliant idea! Keep track of all sorts of information about your home for future reference. Paint colors, service dates, window sizes, installer names, etc.
Great for new home builders or home renovators!.......2000-05-01
My husband and I purchased a house built in 1915 last year, and the journal came in handy during the renovations. It kept me organized with spaces to write the room dimensions and layout, a place to keep wallpaper and fabric samples, and the phone numbers of the plumber, electrician, etc. It keeps all the manufacturer's info in one place--just in case you need to replace or repair in the future. I use mine as a brag book to keep around the house for my guests to see the before and after pictures. Makes a nice housewarming present too!

Book Description
Carroll contends that race is brought to the consciousness of African Americans every day through interaction with employers, service providers, landlords, the police, and the media, and examines the stress experienced by blacks merely as a result of being African American. Micro-aggressions include experiences such as being denied service, being falsely accused, being negatively singled out on account of one's race. The author labels the stress that results from such micro-aggressions as Mundane Extreme Environmental Stress--which she says is a daily experience, has a significant impact on one's psychological well being and world view, is environmentally induced, and is detracting and energy consuming.
