The Peculiar Sanity of War

Hysteria in the Literature of World War I

By: Celia Malone Kingsbury

During wartime, paranoia, gossip, and rumor become accepted forms of behavior and dominant literary tropes. The Peculiar Sanity of War examines the impact of war hysteria on definitions of sanity and on standards of behavior during World War I. Drawing upon Joseph Conrad's comprehensive understanding of war's impact on soldiers and civilians alike, and extending Michel Foucault's construction of madness and reason, Kingsbury expands the definition of war neurosis to include peculiar sanity at home as well as on the front lines. While other investigations of World War I consider shell shock to be the only definable war madness, Kingsbury is the first to build a powerful argument around the insanity of the home front's vilification of the enemy. Ultimately, Kingsbury's study establishes peculiar sanity, among civilians and soldiers, as an inevitable response to war's madness. The Peculiar Sanity of War begins by locating the roots of war mania in Edwardian hypocrisy, then moves on to examine the way propaganda operates in nontraditional texts, such as housekeeping guides, and in the novels of Joseph Conrad, Ford Madox Ford, H. G. Wells, Rebecca West, Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, Rudyard Kipling, Virginia Woolf, and H. D. Celia Kingsbury's eloquent and moving book . . . brings together war and madness in unexpected ways. Beginning with a phrase from Joseph Conrad, she diagnoses the condition of a culture gone awry, a 'peculiar sanity.' . . . --from Laurence Davies's foreword

Beauty in Disrepair

By: Norma Forte,Celia Forte

Norma and Celia Forte’s mother was a beautiful woman with stunning blue eyes, intellectual curiosity, and artistic talents, but she was broken, often bruised, and sometimes a monster. She wore many faces. In Beauty in Disrepair, authors and sisters Norma and Celia Forte narrate their memories of a tumultuous childhood, offering perspectives on living with a parent suffering with Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder. Through a collection of vignettes and poetry, this memoir provides a visceral account of the residual effects of being raised primarily by a parent who was undiagnosed until their adulthood. The Forte sisters tell how working through these memories was a painful, but ultimately rewarding journey. The process of healing is life long, and they are finally making peace with their lost childhood as adult survivors. Beauty in Disrepair reflects on the girls’ childhood as survivors of direct abuse and the residual effects of DID as their mother battled at least twenty-two alter identities. Norma and Celia openly share their story to offer peace to others facing the same experiences and provide a hopeful future for those who have yet to find the beauty they seek, that is in disrepair.

Frondizi and the Politics of Developmentalism in Argentina, 1955–62

By: Celia Szusterman

This book explores the dilemma facing Argentina after Pern's overthrow in 1955: how to consolidate a liberal-democratic republic after the breakdown of the old corporatist regime, when the necessary values and traditions had been eroded? Frondizi's, and his chief advisor Frigerio's, developmentalist style - a mixture of sheer voluntarism and undemocratic behaviour - and his abandonment of life-long principles, reinforced public suspicions of politics, marking in 1962 the beginning of a new cycle of military interventions that became the main feature of Argentine politics for the next two decades.

Against the Odds

Memoirs of a Migrant Worker

By: Celia Castillo

AGAINST THE ODDS underscores a powerhouse of obstacles, diffi culties and struggles of an uprooted family life from a quiet simple farm life to a humble nomad-like existence as a result of the Great Depression. In addition to a low economy, prejudice, racism and bigotry made it much more diffi cult to survive and succeed in an adaptive way of life; a life which became a two-fold process. One side consisted of constant moving from fi eld to fi eld searching for work. The second phase consisted of trying to keep up with school work and formal education in limited or short sessions. Both phases offered learning opportunities in that migrating offered vital educational experiences while formal education reinforced a different type of discipline. The different types of experiences complemented each other and allowed paramount importance if handled effectively for eventual success.

Fire Works in the Hamptons

By: Celia Jerome

A HOT TIME IN THE HAMPTONS Graphic novelist and Visualizer Willow Tate can draw images of beings from the neighboring realm of magic, possibly “drawing” them from their world to ours in the process. So why has she foolishly decided to make the hero of her next book a fire wizard? Is that why the strange fire bugs suddenly appear at the East Hampton fireworks display and then start heating things up in and around the little Long Island town of Paumanok Harbor? These miniature arsonists are causing a whole lot of trouble, and when a baby swallows one and begins to cry flames, Willy knows she needs professional help to put a damper on the situation. This time the Department of Unexplained Events sends a “fire fighter,” Piet, a man whose very presence prevents fires from starting. With a tabloid reporter focusing his attention on Willow’s activities, and a science teacher determined to turn the fire flies into an energy source, Willow will be hard-pressed to keep the town’s secrets safe. Not only does she need to find a way to send the fire flies back to their own dimensions, she and Piet—who are starting to generate some heat of their own—have to track down a real arsonist who seems determined to set the area ablaze…

Livin' Large in Fat Chance, Texas

By: Celia Bonaduce

“A fresh, heartwarming voice.” —Jodi Thomas, New York Times bestselling author From ghost town to growing community, it’s been a few years since a group of strangers inherited property in tiny, deserted Fat Chance, Texas. And besides creating businesses, they’ve developed friendships and romances too. But plans to pave the town may put Dymphna Pearl and her beau, Professor Johnson, on opposite sides of Main Street. In his zeal for the project, he’s making great decisions for Fat Chance, but not for them as a couple. Disgruntled, Dymphna heads back to Los Angeles to collect the rabbits she’s created a special place for in the hot Texas climate. But the professor is in for another surprise... Professor Johnson didn’t even know about Dympha’s sister, Maggie, and when he meets her in a most unexpected way, he begins to understand why. In the meantime, Dymphna is off pursuing an exciting venture to let the world know about Fat Chance—one that will bring a talented new crew to the eclectic group. The kitschy little place they call home is clearly destined for bigger, better things—-but with so many changes a-coming will the same be true for everyone in Fat Chance, including the professor and Dymphna? Praise for Celia Bonaduce and her novels “A bingeworthy triology about smart, quirky women who feel like friends.

In time, though, the house is built, and the rest of the family joins them. Gradually Sam discovers that there is much more to the flat and featureless prairie than he realized -- gleaming white skulls, torrential thunderstorms and, best of all, a new friend and a brave, resourceful horse named Prince.

Out of the Hay and Into the Hops

Hop Cultivation in Wealden Kent and Hop Marketing in Southwark, 1744-2000

By: Celia Cordle

Out of the Hay and into the Hops explores the history and development of hop cultivation in the Weald of Kent together with the marketing of this important crop in the Borough at Southwark (where a significant proportion of Wealden hops were sold). A picture emerges of the relationship between the two activities, as well as of the impact this rural industry had upon the lives of the people engaged in it. Dr Cordle draws extensively on personal accounts of hop work to evoke a way of life now lost for good. Oral history, together with evidence from farm books and other sources, records how the steady routine of hop ploughing and dung spreading, weeding and spraying contrasted with the bustle and excitement of hop picking (bringing in, as it did, many itinerant workers from outside the community to help with the harvest) and the anxious period of drying the crop. For hops, prey to the vagaries of weather and disease, needed much care and attention to bring them to fruition. In early times their cultivation provided work for more people than any other crop. The diverse processes of hop cultivation are examined within the wider context of events such as the advent of rail and the effects of war, as are changes to the working practices and technologies used, and their reception and implementation in the Weald. Meanwhile, in the Borough, an enclave of hop factors and merchants, whose interests sometimes conflicted with those of the hop growers, arose and then suffered decline. A full account of this trade is presented, including day-to-day working practices, links with the Weald, and the changes in hop marketing following Britain's entry into the European Economic Community. This book provides readers with a fascinating analysis of some three hundred years of hop history in the Weald and the Borough. Hops still grow in the Weald; in the Borough, the Le May facade and the gates of the Hop Exchange are reminders of former trade."--Book description.

Life Guards in the Hamptons

By: Celia Jerome

Graphic novelist Willow Tate is a Visualizer, able to draw images of beings from the realm of Faerie and possibly to “draw” them from their world to ours in the process. Maybe she shouldn’t have decided to make her latest book about the god from Faerie whom she’d “rescued” when the fire bugs came to her for help. Or maybe she just shouldn’t have given him a part fish/part fowl sidekick. Had the creature shown up in Paumanok Harbor because she’d drawn it, or had she drawn it because it was calling out to her for assistance? Either way, more weird things are happening in the Hamptons: robberies, embezzlement, rare bird sightings, rogue waves, and dolphins keeping the surfers out of the water. And though Willow swears she has nothing to do with any of it, none of the locals really believe her. Except, of course, the hero of her latest book—patterned after the new man in her life, a handsome Harbor veterinarian—happens to be a sea god....

Jane Cooper

A Radiance of Attention

By: Martha Collins,Celia Bland

For her five volumes of poetry over the course of her career, Jane Cooper (1924–2007) was deeply admired by her contemporaries, and teaching at Sarah Lawrence College for nearly forty years, she served as a mentor to many aspiring poets. Her elegant, honest, and emotionally and formally precise poems, often addressing the challenges of women’s lives—especially the lives of women in the arts—continue to resonate with a new generation of readers. Martha Collins and Celia Bland bring together several decades’ worth of essential writing on Cooper’s poetry. While some pieces offer close examination of Cooper’s process or thoughtful consideration of the craft of a single poem, the volume also features reviews of her collections, including a previously unpublished piece on her first book, The Weather of Six Mornings (1969), by James Wright, a lifelong champion of her work. Marie Howe, Jan Heller Levi, and Thomas Lux, among others, share personal remembrances of Cooper as a teacher, colleague, and inspiration. L. R. Berger’s moving tribute to Cooper’s final days closes the volume. This book has much to offer for both readers who already love Cooper’s work and new readers, especially among younger poets, just discovering her enduring poems.

Unspoken

The Complete Series Boxset

By: Celia McMahon

Set in a kingdom of warring lands, demon curses, and hidden magic, UNSPOKEN is the perfect shifter fantasy for fans of Maggie Stiefvater's Mercy Falls Series and Sarah J Maas’ Throne of Glass. hr “I cleared my entire reading schedule for this book. I stayed up well beyond when an exhausted parent of extremely energetic triplets should stay up to read this book. I used the few quiet seconds I get during the day to read this book. I declined a call from my mother to read this book. I kept my spouse up with the light from my kindle screen reading this book. It was all worth it.” - Verified Reviewer hr "You are unbroken." Princess Isabelle of the New Kingdom has lived her entire life in the confines of her palace. In her spare time, she hunts and feeds the poverty-stricken Voiceless—people of the Old Kingdom who warred with the New Kingdom and lost. Yet she remains unfulfilled; she dreams of a world beyond the walls of her home. As the only remaining child of the king and queen, she is to be married off by her eighteenth birthday—a prospect she’d rather not think about. "My father said that magic died long ago. It was evil, cursed, and wicked. My father is a liar." When Izzy witnesses the use of forbidden magic in the woods outside the palace, she is attacked and saved by Fray, a Voiceless servant from the castle. As the two become friends, they seek out the magic users who tried to kill her, determined to get to uncover the truth. Little does Isabelle know, the servant boy harbors a secret about his people that the king has tried to bury—a dark ability that the Voiceless can no longer evoke. Yet something more sinister is brewing, and to save her family, Izzy must reverse what was done to Fray and his people. She must give them their voices back, even if it unleashes a terrifying power. "I am fearless.” "Are you fearless?”

Night Mares in the Hamptons

By: Celia Jerome

Graphic novelist Willow Tate is a Visualizer, able to draw images of beings from the realm of Faerie, bringing them from their world to ours in the process. After a ten-foot-tall red troll follows her from Manhattan to Paumanok Harbor in the Hamptons, Willow realizes that many of her relatives and their neighbors possess psychic talents-truth- knowing, scrying, weaving wishes, picking lucky numbers, and more. So when magic and mayhem return to Paumanok Harbor, and Willow is called upon to rescue the town, she enlists the local talent. Three magical mares are searching the Long Island village for a missing colt, and their distress is causing sleeping nights, bad tempers, and dangerous brawls among the gifted but peculiar residents. Though the Department of Unexplained Events sends Willow a world-famous horse whisperer, Texan Ty Farraday seems more interested in whispering in her ear than in rescuing the kidnapped colt whose terror only Willy can feel. Even with help, she still has to struggle with snakes, drug dealers, tourists, hidden caves, a mad scientist-and the almost overwhelming distraction of that sexy cowboy...

Bad Behavior

3 Books in 1 (Bad Bitch; Hardass; Total D*ck)

By: Celia Aaron

From the author of Kicked and Blackwood comes the the BAD BITCH trilogy by Celia Aaron. The Bad Behavior ebundle includes Bad Bitch, Hardass, Total D*ck. They’re hot. They’re ruthless. They’re a**holes. These lawyers are winners in court and cocky in bed. They know what they want and how to get it. But even the most high-powered suit can be brought to his knees. Bad Bitch They call me the Bad Bitch. A lesser woman might get her panties in a twist over it, but me? I'm the one who does the twisting. Whether it's in the courtroom or in the bedroom, I've never let anyone - much less a man - get the upper hand. Except for that jerk attorney Lincoln Granade. He's dark, mysterious, smoking hot and sexy as hell. He's nothing but a bad, bad boy playing the part of an up and coming premiere attorney. I'm not worried about losing in a head to head battle with this guy. But he gets me all hot and bothered in a way no man has ever done before. I don't like a person being under my skin this much. It makes me want to let go of all control, makes me want to give in. Hardass I cave in to no one. My hardass exterior is what makes me one of the hottest defense lawyers around. It's why I'm the perfect guy to defend the notorious Bayou Butcher serial killer - and why I'll come out on top. Except this new associate I've hired is unnaturally skilled at putting chinks in my well-constructed armor. Her brazen talk and fiery attitude make me want to take control of her and silence her - in ways that will keep both of us busy till dawn. Total D*ck I’m your classic skirt chaser. A womanizer. A total d*ck. My reputation is dirtier than a New Orleans street after a Mardi Gras parade. I take unwinnable cases and win them. Where people see defeat, I see a big fat paycheck. And when most men see rejection, it’s because the sexiest woman at the bar has already promised to go home with me. But Scarlett Carmichael is the one person I can’t seem to conquer. This too-cool former debutante has it all—class, attitude, and a body that begs to be worshiped. I’ve never worked with a person like her before—hell, I’ve never played nice with anyone before in my life, and I’m not about to start with her.

Celia's Collection of Stories

By: Celia Mcdermott

This book is based on a collection of short stories based on childhood memories. From a young age, I was interested in creative writing. At school, my favourite subject was essay writing, but circumstances at that time did not allow me to fulfil my ambition. When I retired from working, I again wanted to fulfil this lifelong ambition and picked up my pen to start writing to follow this dream. I hope this collection of short stories will be seen as both humorous and amusing.
