Household Servants and Slaves

A Visual History, 1300-1700

By: Diane Wolfthal

The first book-length study of household servants and slaves, exploring a visual history over 400 years and four continents The first book-length study of both images of ordinary household workers and their material culture, Household Servants and Slaves: A Visual History, 1300-1700 covers four hundred years and four continents, facilitating a better understanding of the changes in service that occurred as Europe developed a monetary economy, global trade, and colonialism. Diane Wolfthal presents new interpretations of artists including the Limbourg brothers, Albrecht Dürer, Paolo Veronese, and Diego Velázquez, but also explores numerous long-neglected objects, including independent portraits of ordinary servants, servant dolls and their miniature cleaning utensils, and dummy boards, candlesticks, and tablestands in the form of servants and slaves. Wolfthal analyzes the intersection of class, race, and gender while also interrogating the ideology of service, investigating both the material conditions of household workers' lives and the immaterial qualities with which they were associated. If images repeatedly relegated servants to the background, then this book does the reverse: it foregrounds these figures in order to better understand the ideological and aesthetic functions that they served.

No Words Only Tears

No Words Only Tears

By: Diane Summers

No Words, Only Tears resonated within my entire being from the moment I first decided to write this book. Tears, not words, more fittingly encapsulate my painful search for selfhood and wellness. For most of my life, tears spoke for me when I was too enmeshed in feelings and fears to express what had been my reality as I grew up. After years of struggle, I moved past emotions, and tears turned into words quite easily spoken. In them, I found strength and new hope. My path to find my true self, has wound its way precariously from accepting and healing the hurt child within me to the realization that I am, indeed, a person""a loved and loving child of God. In therapy, they say that "the only way out of our pain is through it." No Words, Only Tears is the story of my journey through the pain of depression to find a peace that only God can give.

Farming Industry

Farming Industry

By: Jon Sutherland,Diane Canwell

Working with prestigious archives of contemporary photographs, the authors chart the history of Britain's farming heritage with 120 rarely seen photographs. Nearly eleven thousand years ago humans moved away from hunting and gathering and began to raise livestock and plant crops. Our nostalgia for the way the countryside had been is an enduring passion. Ultimately mechanization began to replace more traditional forms of farming, and the Industrial Revolution was drawing more and more people away from the fields. Photography emerged at a crucial time when farming tasks could be done with a speed and on a scale previously unimaginable. Farming history has been driven by experimentation, innovation, and invention. The 19th century was one of those times marked by such change. This book looks at that pivotal period in history after which the British countryside would never be the same.

Clothes Encounters of the Divine Kind

Where Image Reflects the Truth

By: Diane Donato

Clothes Encounters of the Divine Kind is a recapitulation of the authors life from early childhood to the present time and the role that her passions for fashion and healing played in her own spiritual awakening. While it seems like an autobiography, in truth, it is an invitation for the reader to take that tumble down the rabbit hole and dare to wear the clothing of their dreams while learning about and experiencing the wonderful healing benefits of clothing & colors. An added benefit is that it is jam packed with ideas for dressing to express rather than the old dress for success paradigm. Hop on the Peace Train to experience true Freedom!

Autumn and the Angel

By: Juanita Diane Friend

The words on the pages of this book will transport the reader from the sun-drenched heat wave in Florida to the awesome glory of Heaven. Autumn arrives in God’s Kingdom during its most peaceful era. She participates in making our Lord’s realm a productive one. Many of her angelic brothers receive Father’s medallion as a reward for their achievements. Everyone seems happy—but one brother demands titles, a crown, and a throne nearest to God’s heart though he did nothing to earn his promotion. His unhappiness grows until he betrays God, gathers supporters, and moves from the Sacred Region to the North. There, he sets up an empire and his reign of terror begins. Autumn and Kaela work undercover in the North as God’s all-seeing eyes and all-hearing ears. They return to the Holy Kingdom where they become saints in Prince Michael’s army. Now, the race is on to stop Lucifer from pursuing his plan to seize Father’s throne. A dungeon is built to house the lawless, but angels are light-loving entities who will perish in the darkness. A sphere is built to house the leaders of the North. Autumn is at God’s side when a bloody altercation ensues between Prince Michael’s saints and northern aggressors that results in Lucifer’s capture and incarceration. And, she is present when Immanuel is introduced to Heaven’s angels. Autumn and the Angel is a faith-based fantasy book that discloses the author’s belief that more than Lucifer’s desire to rule from God’s throne led to his fall from grace. This book is the first installment of Autumn’s adventures in Heaven. The second installment, The Trial of the Great Lucifer, reveals the result of Heaven’s first criminal trial and the events that led to Lucifer’s fall to Hell.

He wants to get married as soon as we can but he can't bear to take me from the wonderful home I have here with no better prospects ahead of him than there is now. Someone is holding a note for $1250 of Clarence's money and he says that he can't collect a nickel on it. Gosh I feel sorry for him. Mama noticed that I was awfully blue today.

An Unreasonable Woman

A True Story of Shrimpers, Politicos, Polluters, and the Fight for Seadrift, Texas

By: Diane Wilson

When Diane Wilson, fourth-generation shrimp-boat captain and mother of five, learns that she lives in the most polluted county in the United States, she decides to fight back. She launches a campaign against a multibillion-dollar corporation that has been covering up spills, silencing workers, flouting the EPA, and dumping lethal ethylene dichloride and vinyl chloride into the bays along her beloved Texas Gulf Coast. In an epic tale of bravery, Wilson takes her fight to the courts, to the gates of the chemical plant, and to the halls of power in Austin. Along the way she meets with scorn, bribery, character assassination, and death threats. Finally Wilson realizes that she must break the law to win justice: She resorts to nonviolent disobedience, direct action, and hunger strikes. Wilson's vivid South Texas dialogue resides somewhere between Alice Walker and William Faulkner, and her dazzling prose brings to mind the magic realism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, replete with dreams and prophecies.

Deep Play

By: Diane Ackerman

The national bestselling author of A Natural History of the Senses tackles the realm of creativity, by exploring one of the most essential aspects of our characters: the ability to play. "Deep play" is that more intensified form of play that puts us in a rapturous mood and awakens the most creative, sentient, and joyful aspects of our inner selves. As Diane Ackerman ranges over a panoply of artistic, spiritual, and athletic activities, from spiritual rapture through extreme sports, we gain a greater sense of what it means to be "in the moment" and totally, transcendentally human. Keenly perceived and written with poetic exuberance, Deep Play enlightens us by revealing the manifold ways we can enhance our lives.

Why Don't You Come for Me?

Sometimes Jo still wakes suddenly, thinking she can hear Lauren's cry. Although twelve years have passed since her baby daughter was abducted, photos of the child continue to arrive by post with the words, I Still Have Her, scrawled across the back. The police think it's the work of a hoaxer but Jo has always believed them to be genuine - and until there is some hard evidence to the contrary, she will always hold on to the belief that Lauren is still alive. But if the pictures really do come from the kidnapper it means that they have been keeping track of Jo's movements all these years - and recently Jo has begun to feel as if she is being watched - and that whoever has her daughter is getting closer. Is Jo's husband right to dismiss her fears as paranoia, or might Jo herself be in danger? As her life begins to unravel Jo fears that the truth may lie in older events; in a half-forgotten childhood world, scarred by rumours of insanity and murder.

Penny Loafers & Bobby Pins

Tales and Tips from Growing Up in the ’50s and ’60s

By: Susan Sanvidge,Diane Sanvidge Seckar,Jean Sanvidge Wouters,Julie Sanvidge Florence

“In the fifties, sleek Mixmasters were replacing rusty eggbeaters, and new pressure-cookers blew their tops in kitchens all over town. There were kids everywhere, and new ‘ranch-style’ houses filled vacant lots. . . . Turquoise Studebakers and dusty-rose Chevy BelAirs with flamboyant fins and lots of chrome replaced dark pre-war cars. Cameras took color snapshots instead of black-and-white. We wore red canvas tennis shoes and lemon yellow shorts,and bright blue popsicles melted down our chins.”—from the Introduction In Penny Loafers & Bobby Pins, the four Sanvidge sisters, whose birthdates span the Baby Boomer period, present a lively chronicle of growing up in the 1950s and 1960s in a small midwestern town. Each sister writes about the facets of her childhood she remembers best, and their lighthearted stories are illustrated with period photos. Sprinkled with mentions of pedal pushers, home permanents, and “two-tone” cars; early TV shows and the first rock and roll; hula hoops, Tiny Tears, and Mr. Potato Head (played with a real potato); and memories of their grandparents who lived nearby, Penny Loafers & Bobby Pins also features “how-tos” for re-creating the fads, foods, crafts, and games the Sanvidge sisters recall in their stories. In their first book, Apple Betty & Sloppy Joe, the Sanvidge sisters gathered food memories and recipes from their midwestern Baby Boomer childhood. In Penny Loafers & Bobby Pins you’ll find out what they were up to—when they weren’t eating.

The Butcher's Apron

New & Selected Poems, Including "Greed: Part 14"

By: Diane Wakoski

as some women love jewels, love the jewels of life "All the poems in this collection," Diane Wakoski writes, "describe the ongoing process of discovering beauty and acquiring an aesthetic sensibility via food"--seeing and savoring it, cooking and sharing it, reaching out to all creation and drawing it in, devouring it, lapping it up, literally becoming one with it. In the title poem, chosen by Adrienne Rich for inclusion in Best American Poetry, the poet recalls an early memory of delight in pure color--"Red stains on a clean white bib. . . crimson blood on canvas." Blood and crisp cotton as ink and paper, bread and wine as flesh and blood, the meal as art and as sacrament--this is the stuff of The Butcher's Apron, a feast for lovers of "the jewels of life.

Immigrants and Social Work

Thinking Beyond the Borders of the United States

By: Diane Drachman,Ana Paulino

Explore an understudied but vital aspect of the immigration experience! Until now, the American social work literature on immigration has emphasized one part of the migration process—the experiences of immigrants in this country. Country-of-origin experiences that lead to emigration have received limited attention. Immigrants and Social Work: Thinking Beyond the Borders of the United States expands the focus of the literature, drawing clear connections between immigrants’ situations in their countries of origin and how they adapt to their new country. This book presents a two (or more)country perspective on immigration, looking at migration as a process that requires an understanding of phenomena that occur in immigrants’ country of origin and that impact their lives in the United States. It also looks at immigrants’ back-and-forth movements between their home and new countries, and examines the immigration process when it involves movement to a third or fourth country—or, as in the case of the Armenian diaspora, a return to the home country after years of settlement in a new land. To provide immigrants with effective social services, it is essential to understand the situations that prompted them to uproot their lives and start over in a new country. Immigrants and Social Work: Thinking Beyond the Borders of the United States provides an unflinching look at many of these country-of-origin issues, examining: mental health issues that result from the traumatic experiences of undocumented Mexican immigrants the essential link between international social work and social work with immigrants and refugees in the United States cross-national collaboration between educators in the United States and Armenia that is helping to provide vital services to Armenian refugees the phenomenon of return migration the migration experiences of women living in towns along the United States/Mexico border culturally competent mental health service delivery for Chinese immigrants circular migration between Puerto Rico and the United States the challenges facing impoverished Dominican immigrants to the United States—and a look at the relationship between the two countries’ policies regarding migration Immigrants and Social Work: Thinking Beyond the Borders of the United States is important reading for social work professionals who serve immigrant populations. It is also an ideal ancillary text for courses in international social work, family policy, social work with immigrants and refugees, child welfare, and social work practice with families, as well as any social work course that covers Chinese, Mexican, Armenian, Puerto Rican, or Dominican immigrant populations. Make it a part of your teaching/professional collection today.
