Book Description
One of the oldest known breeds of domesticated dogs, the Saluki traveled throughout the Middle East with desert tribes, who valued the dogs for their ability to hunt gazelles. Famously painted on the walls of the Pharaohs' tombs, the Salukis' history intrigued English dog enthusiasts who were instrumental in popularizing the breed and importing it to Europe and the United States in the early 20th century. This book tells the story of those who brought the Saluki to the West, most notably Florence Amherst, who discovered the dogs while in Egypt and went on to breed 50 litters. Other world travelers who fell under the Salukis' spell included Lady Anne Blunt, Austen Layard and Gertrude Bell. Also covered are lesser-known Saluki aficionados, mainly military officers who hunted with their hounds in Iraq, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt and sought to replicate that experience at home.

Book Description
”Marooned in his unresolved past, the nervous person cannot set a course for the future.”Robert Von Reichmann MD.Peter Federson's life was littered with divorces, lost jobs, and failure in college, which led to a miserable tour of Vietnam, and a checkered life in the 21st century. One day Pete realized that it was his own doing.”Please God, let me start over again!”24-hours later, fate threw Pete backward forty years. Now he has the chance to earn a passing grade for the 20th century and promotion to the 21st.'But a dark shadow follows him through the decades and sabotages his efforts, so Spring 1971 threatens to be a morbid echo of itself.58-year-old Peter Federson married the wrong girl and rejected his true love. He flunked out of college, which led to a failed army enlistment, failed jobs, and failed relationships. One day, Pete took a handful of pills and washed them down with vodka in his trashy trailer in suburban Chicago.In a haze, Peter took a train to Carbondale, Illinois, and passed out at Southern Illinois University, where he awakened in 1971.Peter Federson is in college again.Now Pete can marry his true love, Catherine, pass algebra—the course that got him thrown out of college the first time and finally earn his degree.But a malevolent algebra instructor tries to flunk him, his wife-to-be won't let him go, a riot shakes the campus, and something within Pete doesn't want to change.SIU's colors are maroon and white, and the Saluki is its mascot, but maroon has a more sinister meaning in this story, for Peter Federson is marooned in 1971—a Saluki Marooned.

Book Description
Sir Terence Clark's Salukis: Here, There and Everywhere is part-memoir, part-travelogue, and explores, in lively and unprecedented detail, the history and significance of the Saluki across the world. Indigenous to the Arabian peninsula, the desert-bred Saluki has for centuries been revered, and remains as highly valued today for its elegance and intelligence. Sir Terence's own life and work have been profoundly influenced by this ancient breed. His commitment to the study, enjoyment and preservation of these 'Companions of Kings' has taken him far and wide and introduced him to extraordinary people and places: in Iraq and Oman (where he was British Ambassador), throughout the Middle East and across Syria, into Central Asia, China and Russia. Beautifully illustrated with personal photographs, artwork and calligraphy, this book interweaves Sir Terence's fascinating life story with the history of the breed throughout the region. His passion for Salukis is infectious - whether for hunting, showing, coursing, breeding or simply companionship, the reader cannot help but share the love.

Book Description
Exiled to a foreign realm, chased and imprisoned by a corrupted enemy, lost to their companions in Vinnr, Symvalline and Isemay have nothing but their wits and will to survive…and the secret to saving the Cosmos. Book Three in the epic fantasy adventure of The Shackled Verities, with magic, monsters, and a Cosmos-crossing quest. After Balavad’s attack in Vinnr, all thought Symvalline and Isemay dead. They were wrong. Delivered through a starpath to a realm with three moons and a wystic forest of living stone, the lost mother and daughter arrive during the quiet of night along the banks of peaceful river. For the moment, they are safe. But this deceptive serenity is about to change… Hunted and pursued, Symvalline and Isemay are separated. Imprisoned by distrusting foreigners, Symvalline discovers that in a few days’ time, the realm of Arc Rheunos will be ripped apart by a rivalry hundreds of turns in the making, a rivalry she and her daughter have nothing to do with. A rivalry that was, she is certain, caused by Balavad. A war and devastating plague loom on the horizon, and if the malicious Verity wins, another Verity’s realm could be lost. With the fates of Isemay and Vinnr still unknown, Symvalline is faced with an impossible choice. Either she must turn away from her oath to serve the Verities and find her lost daughter, or she must join the fight to stop Balavad and his vendetta to enslave all the peoples of the Great Cosmos.
