Tanya moved from Russia with her daughter, hoping to start a new life in Seattle with Jim, but he is not what he seems. Tanya must make her choice to stay or go, but nothing waits for her in Russia.

Book Synopsis The Other Mary Shelley by : Audrey Fisch
Download or read book The Other Mary Shelley written by Audrey Fisch and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1993-07-08 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Frankenstein is now widely taught in classes on Romanticism, little attention has been paid to the considerable corpus of Mary Shelley's other works. Indeed the excitement of the last decade at feminist approaches to Frankenstein has ironically obscured the persona of its author. This collection of essays, written by a preeminent group of Romantic scholars, sketches a portrait of the "other Mary Shelley": the writer and intellectual who recognized the turbulent interplay among issues of family, gender, and society, and whose writings resonate strongly in the setting of contemporary politics, culture, and feminism. By analyzing a previously neglected body of novels, novellas, reviews, travel writing, essays, letters, biographies, and tales, and by emphasizing Mary Shelley's shrewd assessment of Romanticism, the essays in this volume offer a ground-breaking evaluation of one of the foremost cultural critics of the nineteenth century.

When a Crossroads Keeper is murdered, Alex inherits a legacy in a supernatural world she never knew existed. A fireside chat with the goddess Hecate binds Alex to a Crossroads as its Keeper.

The supernatural surprises begin during Cassie’s drive south when her Pekingese diva of a dog starts talking and a ghostly gramma on the run from the law starts haunting her backseat. Wondering whether it’s menopause or just her mind playing nasty tricks on her, Cassie tightens her grip on the wheel ... and her sanity and keeps driving. When the paranormal po-po start tailing her and pair of redneck trolls try to kill her, Cassie realizes it’s not only her grandmother who is in danger -- and her brand spanking new witchy magic is the only chance she has of staying alive and clearing her gramma's name. Otherwise, Cassie’s new life will be over before it begins, and her newfound gramma will wind up in ghost jail for a murder she didn't commit. This new paranormal midlife mystery series features a cast full of quirky characters, including a sassy, snarky magical dog, a ghostly gramma with a warrant (or two), a powerful Voodoo Queen, a couple of quite nice zombies, a teeny tiny fairy assassin with a drinking problem and a deadly power, a hot supernatural cop, and a pair of dangerous but dumb troll hitmen, to name just a few.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classical Greek myth of Demeter and her daughter Persephone as told in Homer's Hymn to Demeter has been used most often to explain the cycle of the seasons. However, a closer examination will reveal insights on living and dying, loss and reconciliation, and suffering and healing. This work demostrates the continued importance and relevance of the myth of Demeter and Persephone to today's society. The first three chapters provide a summary of the Homeric story and examine the myth from the perspectives of the mother and daughter. The following chapters discuss the symbolism of critical objects, the role of female mentoring, the role of Hades and the meaning of the underworld, the subject of rape, and the masculinist perspective presented by Zeus and Helios, and derive lessons useful for healing and knowledge. The Hymn to Demeter as translated by Helene Foley is included as an appendix in order to provide a basis for the discussion in the text. Notes and a bibliography also follow the text.

Book Synopsis Ill Fares the Land by : Susan George
Download or read book Ill Fares the Land written by Susan George and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Six scholarly essays about food and nutrition policy challenge long-held credos and strategies for feeding hungry people and satisfying food shortages over the long term. The author presents a two-pronged approach in her discussion of food policy and hunger. The first involved de-constructing the prevailing assumptions regarding hunger (i.e. hunger is caused by over-population, can be alleviated by food trade and assistance, and is a scientific problem that can be alleviated by technological innovation), demonstrating their empirical inadequacy and their hidden political assumptions. The second involved an outline of an agenda for research and action to reconstruct an alternative knowledge about hunger. It is concluded that hunger is a political program of power and will and a problem of poverty, and that scholars should study the poor less and the powerful more, challenging the systems of power and privilege. It also concluded that, without this challenge, the same inadequate patterns will be repeated over and over again. (wz).
