Amador Publishers, 1994memoir, 241 pp

Sequel to EVA'S WAR, this book tells of the Krutein family's nine years in Chile, where they are warmed by the beauty of the land and the openness of the people. Eva is sensitive to social injustice and machismo, and senses the pending violence of revolution and counter-revolution. As in EVA'S WAR, we see important world-events from a new perspective. These are real people, and the events described are not imaginary. The account mounts to its sharp climax -- the decision that the family must emigrate again.

The family's personal events are intertwined with Chile's social and political history from 1950 to 1989. Krutein witnesses the suffering of children with no future and women under the thumb of machismo, which only fuels her commitment to fight such injustice.--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

A cultural and ethical shock -- a time-warp into 18th century charm and brutality -- a rare glimpse into everyday life in Chile before and after Allende, as lived by a German family fleeing the horror and deprivation of mid-20th century Europe. Not a book of statistics or dry reports, but a lively account told with great candor and sensitivity.--Anne Herdt, U.N. Representative, International Council on Social Welfare

In a new autobiography by Robert S. Turner, M.D., he tells the varied and interesting stories from his life, starting with his childhood on an Iowa farm though his career as an orthopedic surgeon and beyond.

1st Books, 2003. 192 pages

Pork Chops - A Collection of Recipes and Reflections is a nostalgic slice-of-life cookbook, one the reader is drawn to as Briggs stories journeys back through her childhood adventures of growing up on an Oregon homestead.

Pork Chops is a uniquely heart warming cookbook offering a variety of sumptuous home-cooking style recipes that provide wholesome nourishment to the readers soul.

Cynthias interviews with Southwest cooks highlight her ardent belief that through the joy of cooking, all culinary hearts beat as one. She believes through the sharing of our recipes we engage in an ongoing connection with family, friends and acquaintances - bonds we carry with us through our lives.

Reviews
Cynthia Briggs lives in southern New Mexico where she writes a weekly newspaper food column and teaches cooking classes at New Mexico State University-Carlsbad. Her collection of recipes is a comfy and homey one-the recipes interspersed with stories and anecdotes about her friends and family. For example, a recipe called Family Reunion Calico Beans combines bacon, onion, sugar, three kinds of canned beans, hamburger, catsup, brown sugar, salt and beer. These recipes arent particularly health oriented but rather old-fashioned and hearty. Interviews with some local cooks spice up the book. Michael Johnson, owner of Carlsbads My Daddys Bar-B-Q, was influenced by his dad who ran a small Southern catering business from home. His Smothered T-Bone Steak looks basic and tasty-the secret ingredient is Italian dressing. Toni Torrez shares her Fried Fruit Empanadas, along with a glaze of confectioners sugar. Essentially these are all down-home recipes, designed to please a familys palate. The book is fun to read, as well, for its chatty, informal style. -Miriam Sagan, New Mexico Magazine 2004

Portfolio of Spanish Colonial Design in New Mexico
E Boyd Hall; Introduction by Paul Rhetts and Barbe Awalt
Reg. price $39.95 hardcover
ISBN 1-890689-21-1
LPD Press, 2001. 128 pages, 50 color, 15 b/w photos

The portfolio was recalled by the Federal Works Project in 1939-40 as being too primitive. This is a long forgotten, but important piece of New Mexico’s history. Boyd is credited with the text and the renderings for this portfolio, which was her first major work in the field of the Spanish Colonial arts.

REVIEWS
For art lovers, historians, bibliophiles and lovers of local color, these beautifully reproduced color and black and white plates printed on high quality stock ensure the survival of this valuable edition for many years to come. -- Southwest BookViews

The history of this book is almost as fascinating as the book itself. The WPA commissioned the Portfolio in 1937 and many area artists hand-colored the prints, which came with a booklet by E. Boyd. There were 200 numbered copies that were to be distributed by the government. A few copies were sent out to schools but when the bureaucrats took a second look at the New Mexico santos, tinwork, altar screens and straw crosses, they decided this strange work of art should be destroyed. Today there are probably not more than thirty copies left. LPD got their copy through eBay. By reproducing this Portfolio, they have rescued and preserved an important part of New Mexico's artistic heritage. There are fifty color plates and fifteen in balck and white. This new edition is appropriately dedicated to Eliseo and Paula Rodríguez. Eliseo is the last remaining artist of those who worked on the original project. -- Enchantment

An intriguing piece of New Mexico's history has been reclaimed with the publication of The Portfolio of Spanish Colonial Design in New Mexico. ... The book is a charming time capsule of an era that has a profound influence on Southwestern culture and art today. -- Sun-News

It grabbed my interest, and I'm glad it did. The couple has a great story to tell. -- David Steinberg, Albuquerque Journal

Prometheus: The autobiography
Uncle River
Reg. price $13.50
ISBN 1-890109-77-0
Cross Quarter Publishing Group, 2003. 163 pages, trade paper

Myth—language of the psyche, before the insurance market ate psychology—need not succumb to a choice between living possessed by fundamentalist fanaticism or soul death of solipsistic fad. The individual is a central figure of our culture’s mythos. Prometheus is a voice who articulates the experience of the individual, out of our peculiar cultural history, which both demanded the individual and persecuted the consciousness that is the individual’s defining feature.
In Prometheus: the autobiography, Uncle River addresses the question of history: where our culture and its characteristic personality structure come from, and where we might be headed, in the language of myth, in the voice of Prometheus, who knows all too well the struggle of the individual to live with that history.

REVIEWS
This is a book with psychological, spiritual and practical depths, that should spark much thought in the reader who cares about humanity’s origins and destinations. -- Paul Di Filippo, Asimov’s Science Fiction

A biologist like myself can see in his words a call for ecological awareness. A mystic might call it something else. Either way, Uncle River... is worth attending. -- Tom Easton, Analog

… We have few sages among us, what with all the distractions in the world, and this sagacious tale needs to be heard and heeded, around campfires, in coffee shops, and in History of the World, Part MMIII undergraduate seminars. -- Kathleen Kesson, Ed.D., Associate Professor of Education, Long Island University
