Slideshow - Sacred Feminine\: Images of Women in Santero Art
Former Santa Fe resident Judith McLaughlin discusses and signs her award-winning book Sacred Feminine (LPD\, $17.95).
From the time of the settlement and colonization of New Mexico in the late-1500s\, the territory was Spanish Catholic in tradition\, laws\, art\, and culture\; therefore\, the role that The Blessed Mother and female saints played in New Mexican artwork was significant. Their roles in art and liturgy gave women a model\, or ideal\, of the perfect woman and motherhood. The saints were\, and are\, admired and glorified in these roles\, and Santero art beautifully portrays the feminine both in nature and spirit.
Sacred Feminine examines the roles that culture\, religion\, sociology\, art and gender played in the development of the religious Santero art\, and images of women in particular. The book received the National Federation of Press Women 2010 Award\, a 2009 New Mexico Book Award\, and the New Mexico Press Women's Award in 2010.
"\;A fascinating look at this artistic tradition that both scholars and art fans will appreciate."\;-New Mexico Magazine

In The Saddest Music Ever Written (Pegasus\, $26.95)\, the first book to explore Samuel Barber'sAdagio for Strings\, music and literary critic (and UNM School of Music alum) Thomas Larson tells the story of the prodigal composer and his seminal masterpiece\: from its composition in 1936\, when Barber was just twenty-six\, to its orchestral premiere two years later\, led by the great Arturo Toscanini\, and its fascinating history as America's secular hymn for grieving our dead.

Taos artist Giovanna Paponetti presents a slideshow of images featured in her new book Kateri\, Native American Saint (Clearlight\, $24.95).
Kateri\, Native American Saint takes the reader into the world of 17th Century Native Americans and Catholic missionaries.

The book contains twenty-one full-color images from an altar screen that Giovanna was commissioned in 2005 to paint for the Church of St. John the Baptist at Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo in New Mexico\, the oldest parish in the United States.

Colonel Joe Kittinger discusses and signs his autobiography Come Up and Get Me (UNM Press\, $27.95).
A few years after his release from a North Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp in 1973 Colonel Joseph Kittinger retired from the Air Force. Restless and unchallenged\, he turned to ballooning\, a life-long passion as well as a constant diversion for his imagination during his imprisonment. His primary goal was a solitary circumnavigation of the globe\, and in its pursuit he set several ballooning distance records\, including the first solo crossing of the Atlantic in 1984. But the aeronautical feats that first made him an American hero had occurred a quarter of a century earlier.
By the time Kittinger was shot down in Vietnam in 1972\, his Air Force career was already legendary. He had made a name for himself at Holloman Air Force base near Alamagordo\, New Mexico\, as a test pilot who helped demonstrate that egress survival for pilots at high altitudes was possible in emergency situations. Ironically\, Kittinger and his pre-astronaut colleagues would help propel Americans into space using the world's oldest flying machine - the balloon. Kittinger's work on Project Excelsior - which involved daring high-altitude bailout tests - earned him the Distinguished Flying Cross long before he earned a collection of medals in Vietnam.

When we meditate\, our minds often want to do something other than the meditation instructions we've been taught. When that happens repeatedly\, we may feel frustrated to the point of abandoning meditation altogether. Jason Siff will discuss and sign his new book Unlearning Meditation\: What to Do When the Instructions Get in the Way (Shambhala\, $16.95)\, which invites us to approach meditation in a new way. He teaches us how to become more tolerant of intense emotions\, sleepiness\, compelling thoughts\, fantasies-the whole array of inner experiences that are usually considered hindrances to meditation. The meditation practice he presents in Unlearning Meditation is gentle\, flexible\, permissive\, and honest\, and it's been wonderfully effective for opening up meditation for people who thought they could never meditate\, as well as for injecting a renewed energy for practice into the lives of seasoned practitioners.
