The German belt buckle has long fascinated collectors. Now this full color volume will help collectors to identify their buckles and avoid purchasing reproductions. They will also find how to date and identify manufacturer's marks. Only genuine buckles have been used for illustration, together with all their blemishes - except where noted. Obverse and reverse are shown so that collectors can make direct comparison. All buckles are shown with prices in U.S. Dollars and £ Sterling. The prices indicate both the high and low end of the market and have been diligently researched. For the first time information on the early RZM marks is brought to collectors and many details of buckle construction are presented with comparisons between genuine buckles and reproductions. Latest reproductions are covered in detail. Period photos and illustrations have been used where possible to show buckles in actual use. Some 800 illustrations and photos are used throughout the book. New drawings of maker's marks have been prepared and include many not previously documented.

Coyote Bush is a book that pays homage to the earth. It is a paean to the stars and their constellations, the clouds and the wind, to the horses, cows, deer, and dogs, all who blessedly live without language. In these poems of place, Nash traces and retraces his time-worn paths into the hills of Northern California. He is content at times just to watch the light change or lie down in the hollow a pregnant doe has made in the night. But these are also poems of refuge and discovery, poems of love and of suffering. We find relationships, childhood memories, sudden enlightenment, rising to the surface, just as we are ready for them. Nash finds his place among the elements, firmly rooted between earth and sky.

Manifesting Heaven will encourage you in a realm of faith to walk out the truth of scripture in your life. When Jesus was asked for the perfect prayer in Matthew 6:10, one aspect of His response was, "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Through prayer, kingdom principles and His heart of love; the Lord's heavenly realm is available to us here on earth. Pastor Nash places emphasis on removing every barrier in opposition to manifesting heaven in your life.

In 1941, the popular Austrian Jewish writer, Stefan Zweig, with his young wife, Lotte Altmann, went into hiding from the Nazis in Brazil, where less than six months later they committed suicide in a final act of despair. The Perfection of Things is a novel that opens in February of 2004 in the Brazilian town of Petrópolis where a dying American biographer, Adam Ribeira, has been living in a last, desperate effort to complete a critical biography of Zweig, which he has been writing in frustration and anguish for nearly twenty years. Working by day in a rented apartment directly overlooking the now-empty house in which Zweig and his wife committed suicide, and by night inside the house itself, into which he sneaks the moment it is dark, the narrator struggles, once and for all, to grasp the tangled implications of Zweig and his times, a realization that finally compels him to act.
Part fiction, part biography of Zweig, part critical inquiry into the scope and limitations of biography itself, the novel explores what for many is the essential impossibility of truly knowing another human being. Framed in the form of a letter to the narrator's estranged son in Israel, in the form of a tzevaah, a Jewish ethical will, the story is also a meditation on contemporary life—on racism, exile, and war. Binding the tale together is the perennially bewitching idea of perfection and its place in the human heart.

In the Place Where We Thought We Stood tells the story of a French-American translator travelling by train from Paris to Barcelona, then on to Madrid to comfort his mother-in-law who recently suffered a stroke. Haunted by his wife's recent suicide and by his inability to complete his translation of the correspondence of the writer Ingeborg Bachmann and her lover Paul Celan, he struggles numbly to make sense of the moment, the day. Set entirely in the course of this journey, the novel-at heart a reckoning with things past-explores the fleeting little triumphs of love.

In the Place Where We Thought We Stood

Jacob Luria is asked by his good friend, Mary Daly, to spy on her husband, whom she has long suspected of infidelity. Obsessed by his love for her, by his hope that her marriage will finally fail, Luria is troubled in this assignment by the all-but-certain prospect of his own abasement and pain. Ghost Story is a novel about truth and deception, hope and despair, and the strange, often inexorable, ways we are haunted by those we love.
