FAR: A NOVEL Lancelotta, Victoria
New York Counterpoint Press 2003 1-58243-114-0 / 9781582431147 Hardcover As New
From Booklist Lancelotta is a razor's-edge writer with an existential streak and a fascination with the dichotomies of being. Celebrated for her short stories, she stays sharp in her debut novel in which a sultry and cryptic 30-year-old Baltimore woman struggles to understand what it is that she wants, why she doesn't want what most women seem to, and why her self-sufficiency so angers others. Writing with the surgical precision, dark sexuality, and psychological suspense of Annie Ernaux, Joan Didion, and Siri Hustvedt, Lancelotta spotlights transforming moments in Martha's spare life, from her teenage exploits with the local toughs to her Last Tango in Paris-like affair with Edward to her chilly relationships with her complicated mother and her beautiful younger sister (who ends up with Edward) to her abrupt move to a small town in Virginia to run a jewelry store. There Lancelotta adroitly conjures a nightmarish realm of injured souls capable of neurotic and vicious behavior as she traces the thin line between loneliness and aloneness, alienation and independence. Donna Seaman Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved Product Description: A dark, unsettling novel about a woman whose reluctance to adopt traditional female roles of marriage and motherhood results in a painful alienation from her Italian-American family and community. Written with Lancelotta's characteristic passion and wit, Far is a haunting exploration of what it means for a woman to be alone in her family, her house and her body, even as she is hemmed in by them. Martha is single, in her early 30s, and has lived in Baltimore all her life. But she is late to do what they all expect her to do--marry and have children--and is instead involved with Edward, a man chosen precisely because she believes that he expects none of these things from her . When she begins to suspect otherwise, she accepts a new job in the small-town South. Martha yearns to be free of the sense of having disappointed her family--and just about everyone. But the ache for resolution proves too strong. As Martha discovers a growing intimacy between Edward and her sister, she's forced to take responsibility for her isolation. Published at Twenty Four dollars.

More than half the American women who marry for the second time choose younger men. Based on her own experience and numerous interviews, Houston, happily married to a man nine years her junior, explains why this revolutionary trend is so successful--and rewarding. FROM THE CRITICS Publishers Weekly: Houston, promotion director of the publishing house Andrew, McMeel & Parker, is among the rising number of women married to younger men. Divorced at age 35, she chose for her next husband ``Brant,' a man nine years her junior.

The personal stories related here are impressive, told by lovers of various backgrounds across the country who chanced criticism. Some women, like Lillian at 72, needed support from friends to accept 57-year-old John's proposal. Ellen, 39, and David, 25, say they now laugh at the gossipand their defensive reactionsabout their ``odd" partnership when they wed. There are many revealing facets to this book on the switch frrm the long-accepted affairs between older men and younger women.

NO APPARENT DANGER: THE TRUE STORY OF VOLCANIC DISASTER AT GALERAS AND NEVADO DEL RUIZ Bruce, Victoria
New York HarperCollins Publishers 2001 0-06-019920-2 / 9780060199203 Hardcover As New
ABOUT THE BOOK No Apparent Danger: The True Story of Volcanic Disaster at Galeras and Nevado del Ruiz FROM OUR EDITORS This compelling blow-by-blow account of two related volcano tragedies by science journalist Victoria Bruce is the result of extensive research and interviews. The book relates the harrowing confluence of events that led to the death of 23,000 people when an entire village was engulfed in a mud flow and the later deaths of scientists studying Galeras. FROM THE PUBLISHER "On January 14, 1993, a team of scientists descended into the crater of Galeras, a restless Andean volcano in southern Colombia, for a day of field research. As the group slowly moved across the rocky moonscape of the caldera near the heart of the volcano, Galeras erupted, its crater exploding in a barrage of burning rocks and glowing shrapnel. Nine men died instantly, their bodies torn apart by the blast." "Detailing the turbulent history of Columbia and the geology of its snow-peaked volcanoes, Victoria Bruce weaves together the stories of the heroes, victims, survivors, and bystanders, evoking what it means to live in the shadow of a volcano, a hair's-breadth away from unthinkable natural calamity, and shows how clashing cultures and scientific arrogance resulted in tragic and unnecessary loss of life."--BOOK JACKET. FROM THE CRITICS Discover Magazine Harrowing...offers rich insight into the untidy workings of volcanologists and science in general. Publishers Weekly The fight currently raging within the volcanological community, sketched by the discrepancies between Bruce's work and Stanley Williams and Fen Montaigne's Surviving Galeras (reviewed below), concerns what is known about predicting eruptions, and particularly about Galeras when it blew, and why nine people died in that eruption (see PW, Book News, Feb. 12). In Bruce's harrowing depiction of the 1985 Nevado del Ruiz eruption, which killed 23,000 people, scientists and survivors describe bureaucratic foolishness, scientific discovery and human strife. In her presentation of the 1993 eruption of Galeras, another Colombian volcano, numerous interviews illuminate further human folly, and particularly Williams's pariah status among geologists. Seismologist Bernard Chouet's testimony discredits Williams's assertion that there was no warning of the eruption. Previously, Chouet had successfully predicted two eruptions from seismographic patterns also visible when Galeras erupted. While Williams says this was never brought to his attention, Bruce notes that leading a team into an active volcano without checking available data hardly seems responsible scientific practice. Chouet claims he presented his prediction technique, with Williams present, in 1991. Further, expedition members contend that, despite Galeras's signs of activity, Williams ignored advice to shorten the visit. One survivor says Williams took no safety precautions and mocked his colleagues who wore hard hats. Scientist and journalist Bruce traces the fascinating recent history of Colombian volcanoes and the scientific community's politics, wherein intellectual property generates fame and near-fortune, in an insightful, spellbinding account. Photos and illus. (Apr. 2) Forecast: Bruce's 11-city tour, participation in Columbia University's Earth Science Colloquium in March and the much-publicized Galeras debacle promise big sales. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information. Library Journal In 1993, a Colombian volcano named Galeras erupted, killing six scientists and three tourists inside its rim and severely injuring the expedition's leader, eminent vulcanalogist Williams. Could this tragedy have been avoided? Could the eruption have been predicted? Two new books debate those questions from opposite ends of the spectrum. Williams offers a firsthand account of the disaster, which traumatized him physically and psychologically, while Bruce, a science writer with a master's degree in geology, provides an investigative journalist's perspective. Arguing that there is no method of accurately predicting eruptions,

ABOUT THE BOOK Romantic Country Style: Creating the English Country Look in Your Home FROM THE PUBLISHER The idea of English country style may conjure many images -- from cottages snug in flower-strewn gardens to rustic homes furnished with all the signs of peaceful country life to grander houses presiding over rolling vistas of fields and meadows.

This book shows how the look can be achieved by anyone with a desire to create a charming and intimate country home. This style has evolved slowly over the centuries and continues to do so, refined and adapted according to practical and decorative considerations. And its great advantage is that it can work as well in a small apartment as in a large country house. In this book you will find classic kitchens, relaxed family living rooms, cozy bedrooms with quilted comforters, cool summer retreats draped with muslin, country-style gardens, ideas for outdoor living, and much more. Produced in association with Victoria magazine, Romantic Country Style shows how to create and enjoy the essence of English country style in your home. Introduced in 1987 and enjoyed by four million readers every month, Victoria magazine devotes its articles to fashion, home, and cooking, including beautiful features on home decorating and style.
