Smoke Eaters

A Thriller

By: Christine Andreae

Mattie McCullough, as the first woman to command a major fire site, has all of the above on her plate, not to mention political constraints, a band of nudists militias determined not to budge from their endangered land, and an only child stationed at the most perilous part of the conflagration.

Whoppers

History's Most Outrageous Lies and Liars

By: Christine Seifert

History of full of liars. Not just little-white-telling liars, but big-honkin', whopper-telling liars—people who can convince us that even the most improbable, outrageous, nonsensical stories are true. And the worst part is that we'll believe it. Whoppers tells the story of history's greatest liars and the lies they told, providing a mix of narrative profiles of super-famous liars, lies, and/or hoaxes, as well as more obscure episodes. Famous liars include people you might have learned about in school, like P. T. Barnum, who basically made a living lying to people for money; liars you might never have heard of before, like Victor Lustig, who managed to "sell" the Eiffel Tower twice in the 1920s; and hoaxes like the Loch Ness Monster Photo Hoax. The book will also include illustrations, sidebars, and infographics.

A Companion Guide to The Gospel of Thomas

A Journey to Inner Presence, Self-Understanding and Fullness of Personal Expression

By: Christine Folan

The ultimate guide to understanding the 114 sacred texts known as ‘The Gospel of Thomas’, revealing ancient Christian teachings and allowing for deep self-reflection and introspection. Discovered in 1945 in Egypt, but likely dating back to around 150-200AD, the Gospel of Thomas, is a collection of codices, each containing an affirmation or advice. Academic discourse has plagued the Gospel's modern existence, especially in relation to its English translation. Resultantly, a number of densely unintelligible translations have been produced, which use heavy ecclesiastical language and a biblical approach, obscuring the meaning of the text to laypeople. Now, Christine Folan provides a revolutionary approach, unpicking the Gospel's complexities, and providing a sensitive and effective way of understanding and ‘seeing’ the hidden, yet deeply profound, secrets of this ancient text. Folan's companion guide provides excerpts from the text alongside her own visceral and deep rooted interpretations, which will enlighten readers to the endless potential which can be gleaned from the Gospel. Guiding the reader with clarity and conviction, The Companion Guide to The Gospel of Thomas provides a way for readers to use the Gospel as a vessel for introspection, allowing them to search deep within themselves for their own unique truth and meaning. The book contains real life case studies of people whose lives have been drastically changed by the teachings of the Gospel, as well as suggested further reading for each chapter. The Companion Guide to The Gospel of Thomas is a manual for the practical application of spiritual principles, challenging readers not only to make sense of this ancient text in their own unique way, but also to live its message to make profound change in their day to day lives.

That They May Hear

By: Christine Dudley-Daniels

“That They May Hear” is a comprehensive recording of the establishment of the National Alliance of Black Interpreters-New York City Chapter. The author in cooperation with chapter Presidents and members reviewed resources, pictures and documents to provide a chronological story of the establishment of the New York City Chapter. The author reflects on those who gave their time, skills and resources to motivate and encourage African American Sign Language students and interpreters as they uplifted an African American Deaf and hard of hearing community and educated a hearing population. It is a reflection of deep admiration for the New York City Chapter’s first Presidents who had entered into a profession that was not always thoughtful or kind. In spite of the many challenges they faced, they made a commitment as the leader of NAOBI=NYC chapter to share their skills and resources to guide their membership in developing a strong foundation that could support and encourage Black Interpreters. The book is written from the perspective of the author. It is a must-read narrative of an African American Interpreter’s never-ending journey down the path as a student, an Interpreter and an advocate.

Cambridge Knights

By: Christine Lambden

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Back in the 70's when Bonnie Pearce was a teenager and perky slogans abounded, she thought this was the dumbest one of all. Now, she's having a day that really does seem like the first day of the rest of her life. Fed up with her job and her arrogant boss, Bonnie has decided it's time for her to live happily ever after. She's chosen the small Texas town of Cambridge as the site of her newly rehabilitated life and, with the help of some new friends and her extremely involved family, she'll give it her best shot. Can a battle-hardened veteran of the technology wars slow down to the pace of a small-town factory? Or will the factory and the town have to change their pace to keep up with her? Cambridge Knights (in Shining Armor?) is the tale of what happens when a modern-day princess gets a good look at her knight in shining armor and starts to wonder if she was right to let him carry her away on his white horse.

The Means That Make Us Strangers

By: Christine Kindberg

Home is where your people are. But who are your people? Adelaide has lived her whole life in rural Ethiopia as the white American daughter of an anthropologist. Then her family moves to South Carolina, in 1964. Adelaide vows to find her way back to Ethiopia, marry Maicaah, and become part of the village for real. But until she turns eighteen, Adelaide must adjust to this strange, white place that everyone tells her is home. Then Adelaide becomes friends with the five African-American students who sued for admission into the white high school. Even as she navigates her family's expectations and her mother's depression, Adelaide starts to enjoy her new friendships, the chance to learn new things, and the time she spends with a blond football player. Life in Greenville becomes interesting, and home becomes a much more complex equation. Adelaide must finally choose where she belongs: the Ethiopian village where she grew up, to which she promised to return? Or this place where she's become part of something bigger than herself? "The Means That Make Us Strangers is a beautifully written coming-of-age story that will satisfy experienced readers as well as younger ones. Christine Kindberg treats all of these characters graciously and with deep generosity. The result is a gorgeous meditation on growing up, experiencing love, and finding home.” —Pinckney Benedict, three-time winner of the Pushcart Prize, author of Dogs of God and Miracle Boy and Other Stories "Christine Kindberg's fiction explores the complexity of identity, love, and faith with extraordinary intimacy and skill. Her bracing prose draws you into the lives of characters who live and breathe upon the page." —Naeem Murr, author of The Perfect Man (long-listed for the Man Booker Prize)

Willis Richardson, Forgotten Pioneer of African-American Drama

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Willis Richardson, Forgotten Pioneer of African-American Drama

By: Christine R. Gray

During the 1920s and 1930s, Willis Richardson (1889-1977) was highly respected as a leading African-American playwright and drama anthologist. His plays were performed by numerous black high school, college, and university drama groups and by theater companies in Chicago, New York, Washington D.C., Cleveland, Baltimore, and Atlanta. With the opening of The Chip Woman's Fortune (1923), he became the first African American to have a play produced on Broadway. Several of his 46 plays were published in assorted magazines, and in his essays, he urged black Americans to seek their dramatic material in their own lives and circumstances. In addition, he edited three anthologies of plays by African-Americans. But between 1940 and his death in 1977, Richardson came to realize that his plays were period pieces and that they no longer reflected the problems and situations of African-Americans. In the years before his death, he attempted vigorously yet unsuccessfully to preserve several of his plays through publication, if not production. But the man who has been called the father of African-American drama and who was considered the hope and promise of African-American drama died in obscurity. Richardson has even been neglected by the scholarly community. This critical biography, the first extensive consideration of his life and work, firmly reestablishes his pioneering role in American theater. The book begins with a detailed chronology, followed by a thoughtful biographical essay. The volume then examines the nature of African-American drama in the 1920s, the period during which Richardson was most productive, and it analyzes his approach to drama as a means of educating African-American audiences. It then explores the African-American community as the central theme in Richardson's plays, for Richardson typically looks at the consequences of refusals by blacks to help one another. The work additionally considers Richardson's history plays, his anthologies, his dramas intended for black children, and his essays. A concluding chapter summarizes his lasting influence; the book closes with a listing of his plays and an extensive bibliography.

Activist Life

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Activist Life

By: Christine Milne

An Activist Life is the story of an apparently ordinary woman – a high-school English teacher from northwest Tasmania – who became a fiery environmental warrior, pitted against some of the most powerful business and political forces in the country. In it, Christine Milne tells her story through the objects that have symbolic meaning in both her personal and political life, from the butter pats in her kitchen that represent her journey from farm girl at Wesley Vale to environmental and human rights activist at the national and global level, to the Pride t-shirt she wore walking in Mardi Gras next to her son, after years of fighting for the legal reform of gay rights in Tasmania. She describes how politics actually works: the deals, the promises kept and broken, the horse-trading and treachery involved in some of the most controversial and difficult issues of our time, including the attempts to forge a workable and effective climate change policy for Australia, and Australia's treatment of refugees and asylum seekers. This is a fascinating insider's account of what it means to be a woman in politics: the sacrifices of family life and relationships, the relentless misogyny and sexism that must be endured, the gritty conviction that you must never, ever give up the pursuit of the greater good. It is the story of Australian politics and the fight to save the world, and essential reading for anyone who cares about either.

Pathways to Peace

Understanding ‘Death’ and Embracing Life

By: Christine Spencer

Pathways To Peace entices the reader into the magnificent splendor of the higher dimensions and explores many facets of life after death. It weaves around a diversity of inspiring personal experiences of those who have clinically died and returned to tell their remarkable stories. It describes in detail what happens when we die and dispels all fears of death and dying. It is designed to illustrate that we are all eternal, glorious Divine beings that can choose to embrace the transition into another dimension when we pass over and re-unite with Source The Light- to be enveloped and caressed by a depth of unconditional love that defies human description. It shows that we are never judged, we are all from the same original Source and as such are all interconnected. The book reveals many examples of After Death Communication and offers insights derived from some of Christines own personal experiences as to why she believes there are no accidents. Pathways To Peace also provides practical support, insights and encouragement for those coping with loss.

Ophelia's Fan: A Novel

By: Christine Balint

Reconstructs the vibrantly intoxicating atmosphere of the theatrical world in the early nineteenth century. Lavishly romantic." --Booklist Christine Balint reimagines the bittersweet life of Harriet Smithson, the tragedienne who brought Shakespeare to the French. Born in County Clare, Ireland, in 1800, Harriet is left in the care of the elderly priest Father Barrett, and is brought up on Lamb's Shakespeare, lime-sherbet sweets, and prayer. A child of traveling players, her ultimate inheritance is Covent Garden, London, the green room, and the theater's rough magic. With the arrival of Charles Kemble's English Theatre troupe in Paris in 1827, the Odeon Theatre is awash with the drama and music of Shakespeare. Harriet is Ophelia. The French Romantics swoon, traffic stops, and the high-society women plait straw in their hair in honor of her mad Ophelia. The fiery composer Hector Berlioz falls in love. In Ophelia's Fan, Balint re-creates the texture and breadth of the nineteenth century and brings alive Harriet Smithson; the actress and the woman, her roles and her loves. Reading group guide included.

Jerome Rothenberg's Experimental Poetry and Jewish Tradition

By: Christine A. Meilicke

On a more specific level, this book analyses Rothenberg's use of postmodern "appropriative strategies," such as collage, assemblage, palimpsest, parody, pastiche, forgery, found poetry, and theft. These strategies illustrate the concept, practice, and problematics of appropriation." "Embracing postmodern experimentation and drawing on heterodox Jewish sources, Rothenberg constructs a contemporary American Jewish identity that does not rely on institutionalized Judaism."--Jacket.

Encyclopedia of Architectural and Engineering Feats

By: Christine Garnaut

Encyclopedia of Architectural and Engineering Feats presents more than 200 achievements in architecture and structural engineering in all the inhabited continents, from prehistory to the present. An architect once described the built environment as "the manifestation of the human spirit in stone, wood, and steel." In this new volume, readers can explore the most innovative and magnificent architectural expressions of the human spirit, from pre-history to the present, from all parts of the world. Readers can visit the Acropolis and Chartres cathedral, along with less familiar places like the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, once the greatest city in sub-Saharan Africa, and China's 71 meter high, 1,200 year old Grand Buddha, carved from stone. They'll learn the secrets behind audacious engineering feats like the Panama Canal, the U.S. interstate highway system, and the Deltaworks in the Netherlands. They will discover that many of these awe-inspiring projects were not the work of trained architects and engineers, but of "underdeveloped" communities, where unified will, tight social organization, and shared commitment to a spiritual ideal were more important than the inventions of the Industrial Age.

The Tomb of Three Foreign Wives of Tuthmosis III

By: Christine Lilyquist

This book results from a collaborative effort to reconstruct the 15th-century BC tomb of three foreign wives of Tuthmosis III, discovered and robbed by villagers near Luxor in 1916. A general account was published by Herbert Winlock in 1948 (The Treasure of Three Egyptian Princesses, New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art). The present volume differs substantially in the type and extent of documentation provided and in interpretation. Verification is provided of tomb provenance for a number of objects, for example, while other objects previously thought to have come from the tomb are now considered forgeries. The text explores and documents the location of the tomb in the southwest valleys at Thebes; field work conducted by The Metropolitan Museum of Art at the site in 1988; art market finds alleged to have come from the tomb; and the names of the foreign wives and the life they might have led.

Grace Equally Scavenged by Crackers

By: Christine Reeves

Rebecca Pilums is a flapper with a shady past and a low bank balance. She hopes circumstances will improve for her and Edward, her ne'er-do-well husband, after her mother dies under mysterious circumstances—but the entire estate goes to Stephanie, her annoyingly devout sister. Detective Charles East is a widower who's been hired to provide security for Stephanie's family. He believes he's finally found a path to healing when he meets Jessica, their maid—but Jessica isn't as sweet and innocent as she lets on. When tragedy strikes and hidden truths come to light, they each face a choice. Will they fall prey to old, destructive habits? Or will they open their hearts to the grace that's been available to them all along?

Gough and Me

My Journey from Cabramatta to China and beyond

By: Christine Sykes

When Gough Whitlam moves into her street in Cabramatta in 1957, eight-year-old Christine has little idea how her new neighbour, one of the most visionary and polarising political leaders of Australia, would shape the direction of her life. Born to working-class parents and living in a fibro house built by her truck-driver father, Christine simply dreams that one day she might work as a private secretary like her aunt. But when the reforms Whitlam championed give Christine the chance to go to university, her world expands. She experiences the transformative power of education, struggles to balance motherhood with being the family breadwinner, and faces her own mental health battles. She follows a path forged by Whitlam, from scholarships he fought for, to local community initiatives he generated, and even as far as China, where Whitlam crucially initiated Australia’s relationship when he visited the country in 1973. Written with genuine heart and humour, Gough and Me is a nostalgic and deeply personal memoir of social mobility, cultural diversity, and the unprecedented opportunities that the Whitlam era gave one Australian working-class woman.

Dude Ranching in Wyoming

By: Russell True,Christine Holden

Dude ranches were the West's first destination vacation. In the early 20th century, they lured East Coast elites and their families out to the unspoiled wilderness and ranching country of the Rocky Mountains. In order to get to the dude ranches, tourists, who were often looking for an escape from their city lives, had to travel long journeys via trains, stages, wagons, and horseback. Wyoming was home to two dude ranch firsts. Howard, Willis, and Alden Eaton were pioneers in the business, and their Eatons' Ranch continues today. Larry Larom, another dude ranch trailblazer, became the first president of the Dude Ranchers' Association. His tireless work, vision, and leadership secured the future of dude ranching in the West. Working successfully with the railroad and the government, Larom set the stage for important cooperation between ranchers and diverse agencies, ensuring the preservation of the natural environment. Echoes of his wisdom are still felt today.

Western

A Novel

By: Christine Montalbetti

Setting out to tell the story of a mysterious cowboy--a stranger in town with a terrible secret--Christine Montalbetti is continually sidetracked by the details that occur to her along the way, her CinemaScope camera focusing not on the gunslinger's grim and determined eyes, but on the insects crawling in the dust by his boots. A collection of the moments usually discarded in order to tell even the simplest and most familiar story, "Western" presents us with the world behind the clich's, where the much-anticipated violence of the plot is continually, maddeningly delayed, and no moment is too insignificant not to be valued. Montalbetti's daring theft of movie technique and subversion of a genre where women are usually relegated to secondary roles--victims, prostitutes, widows, schoolmarms--makes Western a remarkable wake for the most basic of American mythologies.
