&quot&quotThe Sexual Life of Savages in North Western Melanesia&quot&quot is a non-fiction book written by Bronislaw Malinowski, a Polish-British anthropologist. The book is an ethnographic study of the sexual practices and beliefs of the Trobriand Islanders, a tribe living in the Western Pacific Ocean. Malinowski conducted extensive fieldwork among the Trobriand Islanders between 1915 and 1918, and the book is based on his observations and interviews with the islanders. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Trobriand sexual life. Malinowski explores topics such as courtship, marriage, adultery, incest, homosexuality, and prostitution. He also examines the role of sex in Trobriand society, including its connection to social status, power, and religion. Malinowski's approach to the study of sexuality was groundbreaking for its time, as he rejected the prevailing view that sexuality was a taboo subject that should not be discussed openly.

&quot[W]ritten in the best tradition of the science writer and the mystery writer. . . . [A] breathtaking piece of work.&quot&#8213Jake Page, Washington Times In northwestern New Mexico's Chaco Canyon lies a spectacular array of ruins. Like Stonehenge, they are both a monument to our pre-history and a cryptic puzzle. We know that in Chaco Canyon, one thousand years ago, there arose among the Pueblo people a great and culturally sophisticated civilization. But many questions remain: Just what function did Chaco Canyon fulfill? How great was its extent and influence? Why did its culture collapse? First published in 1986 and now updated with the latest archaeological and anthropological evidence, People of Chaco is an essential book for the general reader on the Chaco culture and ruins. With grace and erudition, Kendrick Frazier scours the canyon for clues about its unique cultural system, confirms its importance to archaeology, and saves this vital American narrative from the oblivion

&quot?The big event in poetry for 2015 will likely be the long-awaited resurrection of Frank Stanford, a legendary badass from Arkansas, much of whose poetry has been unavailable since his suicide at the age of 29 in 1978? Stanford was a hell of a metaphor-maker and simile-slinger, and could cast a spell of extreme intensity with a flick of his wrist.&#8221?NPR.org&quotHis love poems can sound like the cry of an angel falling backward through an open window, to borrow Dwight Yoakam&#8217s line about Roy Orbison&#8217s voice. . . .

A masterly writer, Jefferson was an awkward public speaker. A professed proponent of emancipation, he elided the issue of slavery from the Declaration of Independence and continued to own human property. A reluctant candidate, he left an indelible presidential legacy.

&quotA beautiful and brilliant reexamination of love and its perils.&quot&#8213Barbara Fisher, Boston Globe Common wisdom has it that love is fragile, but leading psychoanalyst Stephen A. Mitchell argues that romance doesn't actually diminish in long-term relationships&#8213it becomes increasingly dangerous. What we regard as the transience of love is really risk management. Mitchell shows that love can endure, if only we become aware of our self-destructive efforts to protect ourselves from its risks. &quotThose who read this book will love more wisely because of it.&quot&#8213Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon &quot[A] work on romance that is rich and multi-layered.&quot&#8213Publishers Weekly &quotCheerful, open, and humane&#8213you'd definitely have wanted him as your analyst.&quot&#8213Judith Shulevitz, The New York Times Book Review &quot[T]houghtful, compassionate, and profoundly optimistic.&quot&#8213JoAnn Gutin, Salon.com

&quotA biography wholly worthy of the brilliant woman it chronicles. . . . It rediscovers Virginia Woolf afresh.&quot--The Philadelphia InquirerWhile Virginia Woolf--one of our century's most brilliant and mercurial writers--has had no shortage of biographers, none has seemed as naturally suited to the task as Hermione Lee. Subscribing to Virginia Woolf's own belief in the fluidity and elusiveness of identity, Lee comes at her subject from a multitude of perspectives, producing a richly layered portrait of the writer and the woman that leaves all of her complexities and contradictions intact.Such issues as sexual abuse, mental illness, and suicide are brought into balance with the immensity of her literary achievement, her heroic commitment to her work, her generosity and wit,and her sanity and strength. It is not often that biography offers the satisfactions of great fiction--but this is clearly what Hermione Lee has achieved. Accessible, intelligent, and deeply pleasurable to read,
