Behold the Hector Saxe paparazzi magnet. With styling so bold, parma coloring so brilliant, and legendary Hector Saxe backgammon craftsmanship, it's like a short-cut to superstardom. Now you don't have to sell a zillion albums. Just head out your front door with this exquisitely appointed beauty of a board under your arm. The glint of brass fittings and the Hector Saxe nameplate may draw attention, but the slender stylings and faux-python leather will declare your mastery of media. We recommend you wear dark sunglasses to protect from flashbulbs when you're mistaken for a starlet, action hero, or platinum-selling musical genius. And wear comfortable shoes you can dash in, should you need to evade screaming mobs after an autograph. If you're cornered however, the jig is up. The real star is Hector Saxe - and it's fine that you should acknowledge that (you're the one with the means and good sense to have purchased one - no shame there, my friend). Hold it up high above your head, so the spittle-flecked adorers can oooh and awww. Then hush them as you open the perfectly sculpted case on whisper quiet brass hinges to reveal the gorgeous, shimmering pink and black checkers, white leather-wrapped dice cups and lustrous leather playing surface. As you're making your exit, be sure to thank the crowd for their adulation and then kindly direct them to our website, if you please.

'Operating on a shoestring, for this was the height of the Depression, we launched at Nenana two skiffs of our own making and unconventional design, like the most foolhardy party that ever embarked on the great river. For the next 80 days, over a distance of 1,600 miles, we fared through what was then truly a wilderness looking for ancient archaeological sites and recording our adventures and misadventures, our many disappointments and fewer lucky finds, and above all, our rewarding contacts with the Native peoples and white settlers we met along the way' - Frederica de Laguna.This robust and engaging travel narrative re-creates a remarkable adventure in the summer of 1935, when Frederica de Laguna, then in her late 20s, led a party of three other scientists down the rivers of the middle and lower Yukon valley, making a geological and archaeological reconnaissance. De Laguna has based her story on her field notes, journals, and letters home. She augments this first-hand account with excerpts from the reports of earlier explorers and data published after her trip. The result is a fascinating and informative cross-cut of historical events along the Yukon River and its tributaries." Travels Among the Dena" chronicles the expedition from its outfitting in Seattle and the trip by steamer and railway to Fairbanks and Nenana, through an 80-day journey on skiffs down the Tanana and Yukon rivers to Holy Cross near the coast, with side trips on the Koyukuk, Khotol, and Innoko rivers, before a one-day return flight to Fairbanks with pioneer bush pilot Noel Wien. Maps illustrate the route taken downriver, and the author's photographs capture images of the time. The resulting volume is both a delightful addition to the literature of travel adventure in Alaska and an important contribution to the discipline of anthropology. Frederica de Laguna is professor emerita of anthropology at Bryn Mawr College. Her many publications include "Tales of the Dena: Indian Stories from the Tanana, Koyukuk, and Yukon Rivers". Minimize

Equal parts danger and excitement, this exquisite backgammon board by the incomparable Hector Saxe is a master class in stark elegance. Each time you open the velvet leather case on it's whisper-quiet solid brass clasps, it unveils hand-painted spears of white and black on inlaid leather - a reminder of good vs. evil, light vs. dark - and most tellingly, the sharp contrast between having your own Hector Saxe and just wishing you did. But don't think there isn't room for shades of grey in your game play. One turn you might blitz with a staccato roll of the polished resin dice out of a leather-cased cup. And the next you'll be sliding supremely smooth checkers to safe haven.

But rest assured, as clear as black from white, they'll quickly recover their good humor. They may even offer to shut the board for you, pensively lock it with one of the two brass keys, then slowly walk it over to your shelf, stealing a last few caresses of the exquisite python imprinted leather.

It used to be that customs agents, upon seeing a faux-Python series Hector Saxe luxury backgammon board, would delay you with bogus endangered species charges, and then steal a game on your board in the back room while you filled out paperwork.

Tan and ivory mother of pearl checkers feel splendid between thumb and finger as you plunk them down on defenseless blots. Even the brass fittings are a joy to snap open and shut.

"In Just One Restless Rider", Carlos Schwantes invites read ... Read more

"In Just One Restless Rider", Carlos Schwantes invites readers to climb aboard for a ride they'll never forget. Growing up in Indiana, Schwantes was enthralled by trains and especially dreamt of one day riding the Pennsylvania Railroad's all-Pullman flagship Spirit of St. Louis. Now the 'dean of travel historians', Schwantes recalls his many trips along the legendary rails of America and traces the evolution of American passenger trains from the 1950s to the present. The recollections are illustrated with a host of the author's own photos that capture old steam engines, ultramodern European terminals, and even the staff of a luxury train in action. In 1993, Schwantes was invited to travel as a lecturer aboard the cruise train American Orient Express; he subsequently rode tens of thousands of miles on more than thirty separate train cruises. His narrative includes reflections on life aboard American and European trains and embraces the view from the car windows as he ponders the meaning of passing skylines. From boyhood memories of the Pennsy - 'the mightiest thing I knew' - to adult travels, Schwantes takes in the rich history and lore of rail travel. He muses over the legend of ghostly brake-man Joe Baldwin on the Wilmington and Manchester, decapitated in an accident and said to walk the nighttime tracks swinging his lantern in search of his missing head. He discovers the confusing variety in timetables issued by the numerous British lines following the privatization of British Rail and the adventure of sharing a coach with cigarette smugglers in Eastern Europe. And he hears the recollections of old railroad men like Bill Dixon, retired president of the famed Rock Island Line. By the time Schwantes actually rode on the Spirit of St. Louis in 1970, it had been down-sized to a single coach and left him a rider even more restless than those celebrated by Arlo Guthrie in the song 'City of New Orleans'. "Just One Restless Rider" is an enjoyable trip for those with the 'disappearing railroad blues' or anyone who has ever been captivated by the rhythm of the rails. Minimize
