Tom Evers, a young college professor, reluctantly becomes involved in a desperate search for a vicious serial killer who murders college women for sexual gratification. During his investigation, he comes to the disturbing realization that he and his wife may be in danger, and that the killer may be a member of the faculty. As an insider who is well known on campus, Tom uncovers information that is not available to the police. This eventually enables him to identify the murderer. Blood Stained Ivory will have a special appeal for those who appreciate the unusual and the unexpected. The setting adds an extra dimension. The portrayal of the university in remarkably realistic detail and the strong characterization provide a view of the ivory tower from a unique perspective. The plot explores several important social issues, and the good natured banter which appears in the dialogue introduces some comic relief into an otherwise grim tale.

Armed with the dubious Ivory Tower (a psychosomatic torture device) and accompanied by his melancholy yet outgoing friend Frank Harper, he sets out to make the world a better place in his own unconventional and, perhaps, unintentionally cruel way.

The collected reflections and wisdoms of 30 contemporary farmer-writer-teachers Heralding the seventy-fifth anniversary of the quintessential agrarian anthology I'll Take My Stand, Zachary Michael Jack, himself a fourth generation farmer's son, has assembled North America's foremost contemporary writers on the present rural experience to provide their own twenty-first-century insights. In the grand tradition of farmer-writers Robert Frost, Henry David Thoreau, and Andrew Lytle, Black Earth and Ivory Tower: New American Essays from Farm and Classroom gathers the disparate wisdoms of modern day stewarts of the land including Victor David Hanson, Michael Martone, Linda Hasselstrom, John Hildebrand, "Country Things" cartoonist Bob Artley, and Duane Acker, former U. S. Assistant Secretary of Science and Education and former president of Kansas State University. These gifted teachers and growers offer hard-won inspiration from the field and the classroom, exemplifying the multifaceted, farm-grounded talents that call them to lives as writers, visual artists, conservation tillers, environmentalists, economists, policymakers, extension agents, and grassroots activists. Seeking a balanced life that reconciles the hands, heart, and head, they follow roads less traveled to find agrarian lifestyles at once enlightening and challenging. At a time when less than two percent of Americans count themselves as farmers, these writers--all of whom have cultivated the earth and climbed the ivory tower--underscore the diversity of the American farm as a wellspring of learning. Their plainspoken commentaries on modern farming, teaching, and living will remind older generations of time-honored, agrarian values and provide a new generation with a literate, critical account of shifting national priorities.

Across America, universities have become big businesses—and our cities their company towns. But there is a cost to those who live in their shadow. Urban universities play an outsized role in America’s cities. They bring diverse ideas and people together and they generate new innovations. But they also gentrify neighborhoods and exacerbate housing inequality in an effort to enrich their campuses and attract students. They maintain private police forces that target the Black and Latinx neighborhoods nearby. They become the primary employers, dictating labor practices and suppressing wages. In the Shadow of the Ivory Tower takes readers from Hartford to Chicago and from Phoenix to Manhattan, revealing the increasingly parasitic relationship between universities and our cities. Through eye-opening conversations with city leaders, low-wage workers tending to students’ needs, and local activists fighting encroachment, scholar Davarian L. Baldwin makes clear who benefits from unchecked university power—and who is made vulnerable. In the Shadow of the Ivory Tower is a wake-up call to the reality that higher education is no longer the ubiquitous public good it was once thought to be. But as Baldwin shows, there is an alternative vision for urban life, one that necessitates a more equitable relationship between our cities and our universities.

There, I believe I alnost achieved legendary status treating the medical and social needs of a population shunned and forgotten by society At the height of my success, I acquired a hotel on its own island in Belize and mingled with the participants of the "Life Styles of the Rich and Famous". And then, suddenly,in one untoward series of events, I lost the degree and profession that I had spent a lifetime achieving.

Shyamala Rajender, breaking all restrictive rules, customs, mores and traditions inflicted on women in India, comes to America alone, with a song in her heart, wings on her feet and eight dollars in her pocket, seeking the American Dream. The University of Wyoming in Laramie granted her admission for graduate studies in chemistry that eventually would lead to gainful employment and economic independence. She and her family settle into their new life together in Laramie with things going swimmingly for them. Shyamala never imagined nor did she have a crystal ball or a soothsayer to predict that she would be embroiled in a ten-year long battle for gender equality, culminating in a precedent-setting victory in a first-of its-kind class-action lawsuit filed in a federal district court in Minnesota against a major midwestern university for gender discrimination. Her victory sent shock waves throughout the academic world and continues to have a major positive impact in changing their policies and procedures in faculty employment, promotions, tenure, salaries and other benefits. Realizing that no university would now touch her with a twenty foot pole, she changed her career path and has become a lawyer with her own office in the San Francisco Bay Area.

"A coveted invitation to a highbrow conference at Oxford is way up there on medieval history professor Dotsy Lamb's bucket list. With scholars from three continents and an honest-to-goodness ghost floating by during the welcoming dinner, the Lingering Effects of the King Arthur Tales on Life in Elizabethan England promises a lively symposium. Until one of the scheduled speakers is found dead. Glastonbury contrarian Bram Fitzwaring planned to produce a set of ancient bones to prove to the snooty, dlsbelieving history buffs that the owner of the legendary sword of Excalibur was no myth. But it isn't King Arthur's life that has Dotsy ferreting out clues--it's Fitzwaring's demise from a suspicious case of low blood sugar. Then someone close to her is shot, outraging Dotsy...while somewhere in the hushed, hallowed halls of Oxford, a killer patiently waits to turn her into the next antiquity."--Page [4] of cover.

In the immediate aftermath of World War II, Paul Celan moved to Bucharest, where he spent more than two years working as a translator at Carta Rusa publishing house. During that time he was introduced to poet and translator Petre Solomon and began a close friendship that would endure many years, despite the distances that separated them and the turbulent times in which they lived. In this poignant memoir, Solomon recalls the experiences he shared with Celan and captures the ways in which Bucharest profoundly influenced Celan’s evolution as a poet. He recounts the publication of the famous "Todesfuge" for the first time in the Romanian magazine Agora and his fertile connection with the Romanian surrealist movement. Through Solomon’s vivid recollection and various letters Celan sent to friends, readers also get an intimate glimpse of Celan’s personality, one characterized by a joyful appreciation of friendship and a subtle sense of humor. Translated from the original, Tegla’s edition makes this remarkable memoir available to a much-deserved wider audience for the first time.

A cursory reading of the history of US colleges and universities reveals that campus crime has been part of collegiate life since the Colonial Era, yet it was not until the late 1980s that it suddenly became an issue on the public stage. Drawing from numerous mass media and scholarly sources and using a theoretical framework grounded in social constructionism, this text chronicles how four groups of activists - college student advocates, feminists, victims and their families, and public health experts - used a variety of tactics and strategies to convince the public that campus crime posed a new danger to the safety and security of college students and the ivory tower itself, while simultaneously convincing policymakers to take action against the problem. Readers from a range of disciplinary interests will find the book both compelling and valuable to understanding campus crime as a newly constructed social reality.
