Sequel to the Arizona Trilogy

By: Gloria H. Giroux

The new millennium begins for the Union Jack partners and families with both joy and tragedy. Storm and Beckett have started a family that grows unexpectedly due to Hurricane Katrina. Aislinn is a doctor and happily married to Munch. Alex is a psychologist who has lost his first love and is struggling to come to terms with a different path in life as well as his growing psychic abilities. Wyatt is developing his career as a photojournalist; Vikki is a veterinarian; and Serenity is trying to define who she is. Quint and Deliverance tackle their P.I. investigations and their ever-expanding family with commitment and humor. Victor and Wilde are steadfast together after almost thirty years as life partners. The family and friends have approached the new century with hope and passion, but they are unaware that external forces are encroaching on their safety and lives. A new serial killer who holds himself as a warrior of God has been crossing the country in his quest to punish sinners, and he lands in Tucson where he intersects with the Union Jackers in a shocking way. As they try to uncover his motivations and patterns, he continues to rain his deadly brand of righteous on unsuspecting victims. While the Union Jackers investigate this latest threat other tentacles of evil are crawling towards them, including the man who claims to be Storm’s biological father. As if that isn’t enough to test their strength and loyalty, Storm finds that her unusual and twisted path of history with Mexican drug cartel leader Rodrigo Rojas is more profound than ever. The hunt heats up and Quint, Deliverance, Wilde, Victor and their families and friends find themselves drawn into deadly games of misdirection, dark secrets, and pure evil. Who will survive?

¿Por Qué Te Preocupas Tanto? Inspírate

37 Razones Para Transformar la Preocupación en Inspiración

By: Gloria Rivera Bsn. Mphe.

El propósito de este libro es ayudarte a utilizar tu preocupación para inspirarte. La preocupación es parte de nuestro diario vivir. Es parte de nuestro comportamiento como seres humanos y algo con lo que tendremos que lidiar por el resto de nuestras vidas. Lo que hace la diferencia es el nivel de preocupación en tu vida y el objeto de tu preocupación. Si la preocupación es excesiva y no te permite funcionar, es entonces cuando inspirarte es la opción. Transformar tus preocupaciones en inspiración es usar esos mismos pensamientos que preocupan tu mente para estimularte a crear. Es permitir que esos pensamientos te provoquen una acción, un cambio. Es dejar que esos mismos pensamientos te revelen la respuesta que buscas. ¡Es un despertar hacia tu potencial de lograr todo lo que te propongas! Es un reavivamiento en lugar de permitir que las preocupaciones acaben con tu vida. Es ver cómo te llenas de vitalidad utilizando esas mismas preocupaciones como razones para levantarte y renovar la energía, siendo aún más fuerte. Es utilizar esa energía espiritual que todo lo puede y que nada ni nadie puede quitarte. Aunque otros traten de quitarte otras cosas nadie podrá quitarte tu pasión y tu entusiasmo, solo tú mismo, pero nadie más. ¡Es esa quietud y esa calma que viene cuando estás seguro de ti mismo y de que sí puedes hacer lo que sea y ahora! Es sentirte restaurado cuando todo a tu alrededor parece haberse derrumbado. ¡Es estar tan animado que nada ni nadie te hace vacilar porque tu fe es sólida e intacta! ¡Es cuando la intensidad de tus preocupaciones equivale a la intensidad de tu poder, tu fortaleza y tu entusiasmo para no darte por vencido y seguir tratando! Y finalmente, es cuando tu inspiración se une a tu intención y tu propósito en la vida y llegas a ese lugar donde todas tus aspiraciones, tu ambición y tu ideal en la vida encuentran significado.

Manet and Modern Beauty

The Artist's Last Years

By: Gloria Groom

This stunning examination of the last years of Édouard Manet's life and career is the first book to explore the transformation of his style and subject matter in the 1870s and early 1880s. The name Manet often evokes the provocative, heroically scaled pictures he painted in the 1860s for the Salon, but in the late 1870s and early 1880s the artist produced quite a different body of work: stylish portraits of actresses and demimondaines, luscious still lifes, delicate pastels, intimate watercolors, and impressionistic scenes of suburban gardens and Parisian cafés. Often dismissed as too pretty and superficial by critics, these later works reflect Manet’s elegant social world, propose a radical new alignment of modern art with fashionable femininity, and record the artist’s unapologetic embrace of beauty and visual pleasure in the face of death. Featuring nearly three hundred illustrations and nine fascinating essays by established and emerging Manet specialists, a technical analysis of the late Salon painting Jeanne (Spring), a selection of the artist’s correspondence, a chronology, and more, Manet and Modern Beauty brings a diverse range of approaches to bear on a little-studied area of this major artist’s oeuvre.

Santa Fe Secrets

Sequel to the New Mexico Trilogy

By: Gloria H. Giroux

A new millennium has begun and brought with it challenges, opportunities, excitement, and, in one deadly event, terror. The Warrior Spirit Investigations team and their extensive circle of family and friends have seen many startling changes in their personal and professional lives. Marriages and partnerships have endured, and broken, and blossomed on the new horizon. Besides the stunning events that christened the new century there are secrets surrounding the clan that will have lifelong impacts in unexpected ways. A hidden group of people have come together to play a deadly game whose rules accommodate a lack of conscience down to sheer evil. One by one they target innocent individuals; they have a pattern whose theme would on first glance seem innocent but is anything but. Guided by sociopathy they feed on fear and soon enough come to feed on one another. Their actions draw in Memphis, Sage, and their team and associates, and the fates of the evildoers and those who battle to uncover and punish them become deeply intertwined. What no one expected as the pursuit began and continued was that a deep, dark secret hidden forty years earlier would explode into everyone’s lives with shocking revelations that would redefine the sense of safety and family that had been the backbone of the clan’s lives for decades. A shocking secret that no one saw coming. A secret with devastating consequences.

Bridging Indigenous Studies and Hispanic Studies

By: Gloria Chacón

Abiayalan Pluriverses: Bridging Indigenous Studies and Hispanic Studies looks for pathways that better connect two often siloed disciplines. This edited collection brings together different disciplinary experiences and perspectives to this objective, weaving together researchers, artists, instructors, and authors who have found ways of bridging Indigenous and Hispanic studies through trans-Indigenous reading methods, intercultural dialogues, and reflections on translation and epistemology. Each chapter brings rich context that bears on some aspect of the Indigenous Americas and its crossroads with Hispanic studies, from Canada to Chile. Such a hemispheric and interdisciplinary approach offers innovative and significant means of challenging the coloniality of Hispanic studies.

No Hay Despedidas

By: Gloria M. Rodriguez

Como poeta Gloria M. Rodríguez empezó escribiendo poemas acerca del amor que sus padres se tenían uno al otro y a su familia. Estos poemas se convirtieron en historias cortas de los desafíos que pasaron durante la guerra y el porque ellos finalmente decidieron formar su hogar en los Estados Unidos después de la guerra civil de España. Después de que muchos amigos le sugirieron y finalmente por una súplica de una sobrina. Gloria recogió todas las memorias y notas adquiridas durante los años. Puso en orden exacto cronológico para contar una historia de verdad en que el amor de la familia puede vencer todos los desafíos de la vida. Notas y comentarios vinieron desde conversaciones con sus padres de sus años juntos y información obtenido de varios miembros de la familia. Con mapas enseñando los caminos tomados por sus padres, luego investigando y tomándolos ella sola para ver como debía haber sido para salir de la lucha en España en1938, se ayudó para contar una historia de verdad con mínimo de fantasía. Gloria hace lo posible para pintar una imagen de la cultura de dos distintos continentes durante los años 1913 hasta 1940 y más allá hasta sus fallecimientos. La historia enseña costumbres del tiempo y la tontería de la guerra traído por frustración, cosas políticas y la economía durante esta época. Encima de todo, enseña el amor verdadero que puede conquistar todos los desafíos de la vida. La historia ha enseñado lo terrible y negativo que paso en esta época. Pero, esta historia de verdad, habla del amor que dos personas tenían durante esta época hasta sus fallecimientos.

Shaken Wisdom

Irony and Meaning in Postcolonial African Fiction

By: Gloria Nne Onyeoziri

In her focus on irony and meaning in postcolonial African fiction, Gloria Nne Onyeoziri refers to an internal subversion of the discourse of the wise and the powerful, a practice that has played multiple roles in the circulation of knowledge, authority, and opinion within African communities; in the interpretation of colonial and postcolonial experience; and in the ongoing resistance to tyrannies in African societies. But irony is always reversible and may be used to question the oppressed as well as the oppressor, shaking all presumptions of wisdom. Although the author cites numerous African writers, she selects six works by Chinua Achebe, Ahmadou Kourouma, and Calixthe Beyala for her primary analysis. Modern Language Initiative

Winners & Losers: Battles, Retreats, Gains, Losses, and Ruins from the Vietnam War

By: Gloria Emerson

The National Book Award–winning classic on the Vietnam War, reissued for the war’s fiftieth anniversary. Based on interviews with both Americans and Vietnamese, Winners and Losers is Gloria Emerson’s powerful portrait of the Vietnam War. From soldiers on the battlefield to protesters on the home front, Emerson chronicles the war’s impact on ordinary lives with characteristic insight and brilliance. Today, as we approach the fiftieth anniversary of the Gulf of Tonkin incident, much of the physical and emotional damage from that conflict—the empty political rhetoric, the mounting casualties, and the troubled homecomings of shell-shocked soldiers—is once again part of the American experience. Winners and Losers remains a potent reminder of the danger of blindly applied American power, and its poignant truths are the legacy of a remarkable journalist.

Bloodline in Chiaroscuro

Prequel to the San Francisco Trilogy

By: Gloria H. Giroux

James Danziger was a force to be reckoned with in both his personal and professional lives. From the 1940s to the 1980s, he ruled a business empire, his family, and his friends with an iron fist. An enigmatic man with warring dark and light sides, he eschewed playing by the rules and did anything to accomplish what he wantedeven murder. However, James didnt just rise from ashes. He was born, he had parents, and he grew up, but what kind of people would create such an ambitious man beyond redemption? In the early 1900s, a chance meeting between Scottish immigrant Elspeth McMorgan and Stefan Danziger occurred, which set into motion a dynasty that would rule the better part of a century. Jamess parents witnessed a great many amazing events, including the sinking of the Titanic, the suffragette movement, Prohibition, and the Great Depression before things went mad in the dark days of World War II. Through it all, the Danziger clan thrived even when the post-war fifties and sixties collided and planted the seed of power that continues to make its mark in the new millennium.

The Virgin Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces

History and Theology of the Movement for a Dogmatic Definition from 1896 - 1964

By: Gloria Falcão Dodd

The Mariology of the 20th century got a decisive stimulus by the movement for the dogmatic definition of Mary’s social function as “Mediatrix of all Graces.” Gloria Falcão Dodd gives a synthetic, historical overview of the development from 1896 until the proclamation of the Marian chapter of “Lumen gentium” in 1964. She also analyzes the theological arguments for and against the dogmatic definition. Her very useful work is indispensable for anyone who wants to receive the most recent basic information about the most disputed topic of modern Mariology. - Rev. Dr. Manfred Hauke

Muestra la verdadera existencia del amor en mi vida, su llegada, aparición, y descubrimiento en mis sentimientos, dando a mi vida cada esencia de la realidad, de su significado. Amando para ser amado, siendo feliz para hacer felices a otros, para que no solo vean que tienes suerte sino para darse cuenta que lo más importante es el bienestar con uno mismo, sentirse cómodo y, ser valiente ante desafíos que nada más son retos en tu camino; así es el amor, además de darle oportunidad a entrar en tu mundo le das el valor de mostrarse en tu vida, haciendo así un drástico y maravilloso cambio en tus días. Experimentando más que sentires nuevos, estos son únicos e inigualables, como lo eres tu en mi ser, logrando cambiar todo, toda la forma de ver al mundo, y no llegando a cambiar nada, nada que no sea mi alma; creando de mi mirar una tela suave, clara y cálida para que lo que mis ojos vean no sean solo los destrozos del humano a la vida, sino sean simplemente las realidades con las que esta hecha, las cuales nos tiñen el humor de ciertas grandiosidades, aunque para ello es necesario tener la ternura de las vista, la nobleza de la mente, el dulzor del sentir y sobretodo, la certeza del Amor.

Edouard Vuillard

Painter-decorator : Patrons and Projects, 1892-1912

By: Gloria Lynn Groom,Edouard Vuillard

Edouard Vuillard (1868-1940), one of the most admired post-impressionist artists, is best-known for his small easel paintings and their charming portrayals of everyday life. However, a major part of his work during his early life was the painting of large decorative panels in the Parisian homes of wealthy private patrons, produced between 1892 and 1912. These panels - some fifty in total - have been little studied, due principally to the inaccessibility of many of them and the impossibility of their being included in exhibitions.

The Experience Machine

Stan VanDerBeek's Movie-Drome and Expanded Cinema

By: Gloria Sutton

An argument that the collaborative multimedia projects produced by Stan VanDerBeek in the 1960s and 1970s anticipate contemporary new media and participatory art practices. In 1965, the experimental filmmaker Stan VanDerBeek (1927–1984) unveiled his Movie-Drome, made from the repurposed top of a grain silo. VanDerBeek envisioned Movie-Drome as the prototype for a communications system—a global network of Movie-Dromes linked to orbiting satellites that would store and transmit images. With networked two-way communication, Movie-Dromes were meant to ameliorate technology's alienating impulse. In The Experience Machine, Gloria Sutton views VanDerBeek—known mostly for his experimental animated films—as a visual artist committed to the radical aesthetic sensibilities he developed during his studies at Black Mountain College. She argues that VanDerBeek's collaborative multimedia projects of the 1960s and 1970s (sometimes characterized as “Expanded Cinema”), with their emphases on transparency of process and audience engagement, anticipate contemporary art's new media, installation, and participatory practices. VanDerBeek saw Movie-Drome not as pure cinema but as a communication tool, an “experience machine.” In her close reading of the work, Sutton argues that Movie-Drome can be understood as a programmable interface. She describes the immersive experience of Movie-Drome, which emphasized multi-sensory experience over the visual; display strategies deployed in the work; the Poemfield computer-generated short films; and VanDerBeek's interest, unique for the time, in telecommunications and computer processing as a future model for art production. Sutton argues that visual art as a direct form of communication is a feedback mechanism, which turns on a set of relations, not a technology.
