OPINION|
The late Dr. Marshall Saper was a radio psychologist and host of a call-in show in Kansas City in the 1980s and early 1990s. Dr. Saper hosted the show for about 11 years, beginning on KCMO in 1980, then on rival KMBZ-AM, and back to KCMO in 1983. At KCMO, he hosted a top-rated three-hour call-in show on weekdays.  

Earlier in his career, Dr. Saper provided psychological services to the Kansas City, Missouri, police department and taught at the University of Missouri-Kansas City Medical School. He wrote three books, the first of which, “Talking to Myself,” was a bestseller. He also wrote a biweekly column for the Squire, a suburban weekly, for eight years. Unfortunately, he took his own life in 1991 at age 52.

Karl Marx And Marxism 

Robert J. Conley

No one weaves a tribal story quite like Robert Conley. Conley's books are entertaining, colorful, and chock-full of tribal history and culture."--Wilma P. Mankiller, former Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation Few writers portray Native American life and history as richly, authentically, and insightfully as Robert J. Conley, an important voice of the Cherokee past. The novels in his Real People series combine powerful characters, gripping plots, and vivid descriptions of tradition and mythology to preserve Cherokee culture and history. In this, the first novel in the series, the Cherokees are caught in the grip of a struggle for their very survival. The priests, originally responsible only for conducting religious rites, have gradually extended their control to virtually every aspect of tribal life. Dissatisfaction among the Cherokees is running high, but a new urgency is added when their area is parched by the worst drought in memory, and the priests cannot produce the rain necessary to keep their people alive. Concerned with preserving their power, the priests must take unprecedented steps if they hope to forestall a public uprising. But regardless of what is done, life among the Cherokees will never be the same.
Ships fast

Based on Cherokee legends, this vivid historical novel is a mesmerizing tale of power, sacrifice and revolt. Set in the days before the Europeans' arrival in America, it tells of the Cherokee people's suffering from drought. Unable to stop the catastrophe, their priests are more concerned with preserving their own power.

Marion Zimmer Bradley

Ghostlight, this wonderful contemporary fantasy by New York Times bestseller Marion Zimmer Bradley was named "Best Fantasy Novel of the Year" by VOYA when it was first published. Thorne Blackburn claimed to have magickal powers, to be able to tap into ancient wisdom. Others claimed he was a fake, cheating his many followers out of their money and destroying their free well. The truth may never be known . . . one dark, climactic night thirty years ago, Blackburn's most powerful ritual went horribly awry, leaving his flock shattered and one woman dead. Blackburn himself vanished. Now the scattered remains of Blackburn's followers have rallied around a new leader, the charismatic Justin Pilgrim. Hearing this, Thorne Blackburn's daughter, Truth, returns to the site of her mother's death and father's disappearance. Truth has many unanswered questions. Where are her long-lost half-siblings? Was her mother's death an accident or murder? Is Pilgrim a charlatan, or are his claimed powers real? If he completes Thorne's ritual, will someone else die? The answers will lead Truth to a deeply powerful truth of her own, one that will change her life forever. This description may be from another edition of this product.
