Dickens, Reynolds, and Mayhew on Wellington Street

The Print Culture of a Victorian Street

By: Dr Mary L Shannon

Between 1843 and 1853, Household Words, Reynolds’s Weekly Newspaper, the Examiner, Punch, and the serial edition of London Labour and the London Poor were all published from Wellington Street off the Strand, which housed the offices of Charles Dickens, G.W.M. Reynolds and Henry Mayhew. Shannon examines the implications of their close proximity for the editors themselves, for nineteenth-century publishing, and for the reading public.

Legendary Locals of Denton

By: Dr. Georgia Caraway

Denton, Texas, was founded in 1857 because residents needed a location near the geographic center of Denton County to house a county seat. The city is located 39 miles north of two larger cities, Dallas and Fort Worth, and the three of them form what is often referred to as the Golden Triangle. Denton, the peak of that triangle, is the North Star, and its residents, past and present, certainly are superstarssuperstars such as Bob Rogers, the beloved Piano Man; Mary Evelyn Blagg Huey, a quintessential leader; and Hal Jackson, an ace war hero and lawyer. Their accomplishments burst forth from the chapters of this book to outshine others with their generosity, talents, skills, community activism, adventurous spirits, energy, civic pride, business acumen, courage, and creativity. Citizens of Denton are proud to say, Our history defines our community. The images and words between these covers illustrate why it should be added, And our people define our history.

British Short Fiction in the Early Nineteenth Century

The Rise of the Tale

By: Dr Tim Killick

In spite of the importance of the idea of the 'tale' within Romantic-era literature, short fiction of the period has received little attention from critics. Contextualizing British short fiction within the broader framework of early nineteenth-century print culture, Tim Killick argues that authors and publishers sought to present short fiction in book-length volumes as a way of competing with the novel as a legitimate and prestigious genre. Beginning with an overview of the development of short fiction through the late eighteenth century and analysis of the publishing conditions for the genre, including its appearance in magazines and annuals, Killick shows how Washington Irving's hugely popular collections set the stage for British writers. Subsequent chapters consider the stories and sketches of writers as diverse as Mary Russell Mitford and James Hogg, as well as didactic short fiction by authors such as Hannah More, Maria Edgeworth, and Amelia Opie. His book makes a convincing case for the evolution of short fiction into a self-conscious, intentionally modern form, with its own techniques and imperatives, separate from those of the novel.

A Catalogue of Saddletree Indian Soldiers Life Portraits

By: Rev. Dr. Carolyn Cummings-Woriax

A Catalogue of Saddletree Indian Soldiers Life Portraits By: Rev. Dr. Carolyn Cummings-Woriax In her latest book, Rev. Dr. Carolyn Cummings-Woriax has endeavored to bring to life the stories of the descendants of the early Revolutionary War Patriots of the Saddletree Community (Lumberton, North Carolina), as reflected upon in her first book, Revolutionary War Patriots: Bladen, Robeson, Cumberland, Sampson, and Duplin Counties, NC. This document, A Catalogue of Saddletree Indian Soldiers' Life Portraits, not only brings to life the former patriots' descendants, it continues to reveal the migration routes of the soldiers from the Saddletree Community throughout the United States, and beyond. Despite the racial and social injustices prevalent inside and outside of their communities, these Saddletree soldiers left the comfort of their culture, family and homes for the mission in service to the people of the United States of America, and its allies, during a pivotal time of American history when these soldiers and their families resided on the fringe of socioeconomic standards. During this exploit, the author examines why the commonality failed to continue in practice, or if the descendants knew about the brotherhood of the early soldiers. She found, through her investigative research, that these lifestyle changes in Robeson County, NC, began during the eras of the Reconstruction Period and the Civil War. Rev. Dr. Cummings-Woriax would like to offer thanks and a heartfelt appreciation to Colonel Thomas Wynn for his dedication and contributions in initiating the Memorial Living War at the Saddletree Community Building. This catalogue serves as a humble effort to give thanks to the many who served from the Saddletree and surrounding communities. Through this endeavor the author seeks to continue the legacies of those who went to war and never returned (Killed in Action, Prisoners of War, Missing in Action, Lost at Sea) or returned home with the seen and/or unseen wounds of war and service to the country.

INTRODUCTION TO CANCER BIOLOGY AND GENETICS

Cancer Genetics Unlocked

By: DR SABA HASAN

Cancer, a global health crisis, is projected by WHO to cause 10 million deaths by 2020, with a mortality rate of one in six. This has spurred intensive research for innovative treatments. Cancer arises from genetic abnormalities triggering uncontrolled cell division, presenting distinct hallmarks. Both inherited and acquired mutations transform cell behavior, resulting in abnormal growth, reproduction, and death. Environmental toxins and spontaneous mutations contribute to genetic changes, while hereditary factors predispose some individuals. Despite rapid advancements in targeted treatments and immunotherapy, therapy resistance remains a formidable challenge due to the disease's heterogeneity. Understanding cancer biology is crucial for developing effective treatments. This book provides a comprehensive overview, covering basic cell biology, genetics, cancer development mechanisms, immune system involvement, diagnostic methods, treatment modalities, including emerging therapies, and challenges like drug resistance. Geared towards students and researchers in biology, medicine, and oncology, it offers vital insights into combating this complex disease.

The Sister Chapel (1974-78) was an important collaborative installation that materialized at the height of the women’s art movement. It consisted of an eighteen-foot ceiling that hung above eleven canvases - each depicting the figure of a heroic woman - portrayed by distinguished New York painters. Based on previously-unpublished archival material, this study details the fascinating history of The Sister Chapel, its constituent paintings, and its ambitious creators.

The Holy See, Social Justice, and International Trade Law

Assessing the Social Mission of the Catholic Church in the Gatt-Wto System

By: Rev. Dr. Alphonsus Ihuoma

The Holy See, Social Justice, and International Trade Law: Assessing the Social Mission of the Catholic Church in the GATT-WTO System highlights the uniqueness of the Catholic Church as the foremost institution in the world that can confront issues in world trade that affect the common good. The distinguished author Rev. Dr. Alphonsus Ihuoma provides a superbly broad and deep examination that is both scholarly and practical of the mission of the Catholic Church in the world as one that centers on the temporal and eternal needs of humanity. His discussion treats thoughtfully the mediatory role of the church in world affairs and argues persuasively that the church has been engaged in this role since its very beginning, even before nations embraced organized politics two thousand years ago. This remarkable book is a great tool for any reader seeking to know more about the unique position of the church in world affairs, especially in the GATT-WTO system. The book rightly lauds the churchs achievements in history. But it equally and rightly argues that the church must do more to address present challenges in the world trading system. Readers will be enlightened by the treatment of the failures of the GATT-WTO system in pursing the objectives for which it was established, the churchs efforts to pursue vital related objectives, and the need for her to do more.

Female Intimacies in Seventeenth-Century French Literature

Female Intimacies in Seventeenth-Century French Literature

By: Dr Marianne Legault

Examining literary discourses on female friendship and intimacy in seventeenth-century France, this study takes as its premise the view that, unlike men, women have been denied for centuries the possibility of same sex friendship. The author explores the effect of this homosocial and homopriviledged heritage on the deployment and constructions of female friendship and homoerotic relationships as thematic narratives in works by male and female writers in seventeenth-century France. The book consists of three parts: the first surveys the history of male thinkers' denial of female friendship, concluding with a synopsis of the cultural representations of female same-sex practices. The second analyzes female intimacy and homoerotism as imagined, appropriated and finally repudiated by Honoré d'Urfé's pastoral novel, L'Astrée, and Isaac de Benserade's seemingly lesbian-friendly comedy, Iphis et Iante. The third turns to unprecedented depictions of female intimate and homoerotic bonds in Madeleine de Scudéry's novel Mathilde and Charlotte-Rose de Caumont de La Force's fairy tale Plus Belle que Fée. This study reveals a female literary genealogy of intimacies between women in seventeenth-century France, and adds to the research in lesbian and queer studies, fields in which pre-eighteenth-century French literary texts are rare.

Black Church Studies

An Introduction

By: Stacey Floyd-Thomas,Juan M. Floyd-Thomas,Carol B. Duncan,Dr. Stephen G. Ray JR.,Nancy Lynne Westfield

Religious StudiesOver the last thirty years African American voices and perspectives have become essential to the study of the various theological disciplines. Writing out of their particular position in the North American context, African American thinkers have contributed significantly to biblical studies, theology, church history, ethics, sociology of religion, homiletics, pastoral care, and a number of other fields. Frequently the work of these African American scholars is brought together in the seminary curriculum under the rubric of the black church studies class. Drawing on these several disciplines, the black church studies class seeks to give an account of the broad meaning of Christian faith in the African American experience. Up to now, however, there has not been a single, comprehensive textbook designed to meet the needs of students and instructors in these classes. Black Church Studies: An Introduction will meet that need. Drawing on the work of specialists in several fields, it introduces all of the core theological disciplines from an African American standpoint, from African American biblical interpretation to womanist theology and and ethics to sociological understandings of the life of African American churches. It will become an indispensable resource for all those preparing to serve in African American congregations, or to understand African American contributions to the study of Christian faith. Looks at the diverse definitions and functions of the Black Church as well as the ways in which race, class, religion, and gender inform its evolution. Provides a comprehensive view of the contributions of African American Scholarship to the current theological discussion. Written by scholars with broad expertise in a number of subject areas and disciplines. Will enable the reader to relate the work of African American theological scholars to the tasks of preaching, teaching, and leading in local congregations. Will provide the reader the most comprehensive understanding of African American theological scholarship available in one volume.

Leon Battista Alberti and Nicholas Cusanus

Towards an Epistemology of Vision for Italian Renaissance Art and Culture

By: Dr Charles H Carman

Providing a fresh evaluation of Alberti’s text On Painting (1435), along with comparisons to various works of Nicholas Cusanus this study reveals a hitherto unsuspected shared epistemology of vision. Analyzing a range of artworks in light of Alberti’s and Cusanus’s ideals of vision, the author attributes a more deeply Christian Neoplatonic ideal than is typically accorded to Alberti, and adds a new dimension to our understanding of theories of vision in the Italian Renaissance.
