This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aphra Behn’s spectacular farce, Emperor of the Moon (1687), so engaged audiences that it was restaged well into the eighteenth century. Her play was largely adapted from Anne Mauduit de Fatouville’s Arlequin, Empereur dans la lune (1684), a commedia dell’arte production by the Comédie-Italienne troupe, a performance which also proved immensely popular with Parisian audiences. Within its witty and amusing three acts, Behn’s play explores a number of contemporary concerns — from commedia dell’arte, to gender and politics, to science and astronomy, including a plurality of worlds, for example — all culminating in the third act’s operatic spectacle. This volume offers a transcription of Behn’s 1687 play with extensive annotations, a critical discussion of Behn’s text, and the first English translation of Fatouville’s eight French and Italian scenes.

This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reclaiming the Women of Britain’s First Mission to Africa is the compelling story of three long-forgotten women, two white and one black, who lived, worked and died on the Church Missionary Society’s first overseas mission at the dawn of the nineteenth century. It was a time of momentous historical events: the birth of Britain’s missionary movement, the creation of its first African colony as a home for freed slaves, and abolition of the slave trade. Casting its long shadow over much of the women’s story was the protracted war with Napoleon. Taking as its starting point a cache of fifty letters from the three women, the book counters the prevailing narrative that early missionary endeavour was a uniquely European and male affair, and reveals the presence of a surprising number of women, among them several with very forceful personalities. Those who are interested in women’s life history, black history, the history of the slave trade and British evangelism will find this book immensely enjoyable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the rosary itself, the influence of Catholicism on the social and historical development of the American West has been both visible and hidden: visible in the effects of personal conviction on lives and communities; hidden in that the fuller context of this important American religious group has been largely marginalized or undervalued in traditional historiographic treatments of the region. This volume, an outgrowth of the 2004 Walter Prescott Webb Memorial Lectures, seeks to redress this imbalance. Editors Roberto R. Treviño and Richard Francaviglia have assembled here a variety of scholarly voices to present, according to the preface, "little-known stories about a religion whose traditions and adherents had until recently remained largely at the periphery of U.S. history narratives." The result is a work that offers at once a fuller portrait of the Catholic experience in and impact on the American West, and also tantalizing glimpses that are highly suggestive of fruitful areas for further study. The contributors to Catholicism in the American West bring to light the variety, the hardships, and, ultimately, some of the triumphs of Catholicism in the American West. These studies are fine examples of the scholarship currently "reshaping how historians understand the role of Catholicism both in the development of the West and in the broader history of the nation."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of academic psychiatry is in crisis, everywhere. It is not merely a health crisis of resource scarcity or distribution, competing claims and practice models, or level of development from one country to another, but a deeper, more fundamental crisis about the very definition and the theoretical basis of psychiatry. The kinds of questions that represent this crisis include whether psychiatry is a social science (like psychology or anthropology), whether it is better understood as part of the humanities (like philosophy, history, and literature), or if the future of psychiatry is best assured as a branch of medicine (based on genetics and neuroscience)? In fact, the question often debated since the beginning of modern psychiatry concerns the biomedical model so that part of psychiatry’s perpetual self-questioning is to what extent it is or is not a branch of medicine. This unique and bold volume offers a representative and critical survey of the history of modern psychiatry with deeply informed transdisciplinary readings of the literature and practices of the field by two professors of psychiatry who are active in practice and engaged in research and have dual training in scientific psychiatry and philosophy. In alternating chapters presenting contrasting arguments for the future of psychiatry, the two authors conclude with a dialogue between them to flesh out the theoretical, research, and practical implications of psychiatry’s current crisis, outlining areas of divergence, consensus, and fruitful collaborations to revision psychiatry today. The volume is scrupulously documented but written in accessible language with capsule summaries of key areas of theory, research, and practice for the student and practitioner alike in the social and human sciences and in medicine, psychiatry, and the neurosciences.

She attempted many times to run away. On one of these attempts, she was caught by another slave owner, Massa Horn. Massa Horn was a very angry man who wanted to beat her like she never was beaten before just to teach her the consequences of running away. But it was not Massa Horn's decision to beat Sara because he did not own her. Massa Monroe was her owner, and he made it clear to Massa Horn that it was not his decision to punisher her. Sara was chastised by Massa Monroe and her parents about running away. They told her to stop trying and to stay put. As time went on, Sara grew into a beautiful young lady, desired by every slave owner in Mississippi. Massa Monroe made sure Sara would not be abused by any slave owner. When slavery ended, Massa Monroe gave the Monroe family their freedom papers to start a new beginning. Finally, Sara received her freedom. Sara's parents decided to leave Mississippi to start a new beginning in Texas now that they were no longer slaves. Because of the move, this begins the journey of Sara becoming the first-ever Black cowgirl in Texas. During this time in Sara's journey, she has discovered that the town her father and the town's people built will have many outlaws and Klansmen trying to destroy the town she loves. She will have to fight to protect the town of Jacob Water and every member of Jacob Water from being destroyed. Sara will be the one cowgirl every outlaw and Klansmen have to watch out for.

Book excerpt: From Omaha to Oakland, from Coffeyville to Contra Costa County, two immigrant families act out the American dream. This true story of two Midwestern families begins in England and Prussia, and hopscotches across the U.S. to chronicle the lives of the Foltzes and Pickerings. Settled in Omaha and small-town Kansas respectively, they seek advancement – through jobs, romance, higher education, lower humidity. And advancement, for most, leads west. Their narrative is the story of America writ small, in sharply rendered profi les: of Clarence Foltz, Omaha physician and thrower of dinner-table bones; Ruth, his wife, diffi dent but weary of hot summers and capable of hurling dishes when the subject is his philandering; their four daughters, who form a string quartet and build their own couture. Th e youngest becomes a stewardess in the pioneer days of commercial aviation. The Pickerings have their own quirks. Th omas, scion of a prosperous English farming family, chucks it all and joins the 1851 gold rush in Australia. His brother John, a newly minted lawyer, goes to Kansas to be a farmer. Divorce scatters Thomas’s family; a son invests (unwisely) in California orange groves. The two clans connect in Depression-era Seattle when George Pickering meets Ethel Foltz. Th ey marry, and World War II prods an ingathering of the family to California, where Clarence and Ruth now reside, escaping Omaha’s weather. Some serve in the Pacifi c Th eater. In postwar Oakland Ethel indulges her love of music, studies voice and makes prominent friends. As the years begin to claim family members, some branches will die out. If there is a moral, it is the importance and comfort of memory.
