Apalachee

A Novel

By: Joyce Rockwood Hudson

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

In this “deeply involving” novel set in colonial Florida, a Native American woman is torn away from her husband and sold into slavery (Booklist). Spanish missionaries have settled in the Apalachee homeland on the Florida panhandle, introducing new diseases to the native population and attempting to convert them to Christianity. Despite these changes, the Apalachees maintain an uneasy coexistence with the friars. Everything changes when English soldiers and their Indian allies from the colony of Carolina invade Spanish Florida. After being driven from her Apalachee homeland by the English, Native American wise woman Hinachuba Lucia is captured by Creek Indians and sold into slavery in Carolina, where she becomes a house slave at Fairmeadow, a turpentine plantation near Charles Town. Her beloved husband, Carlos, is left behind—free but helpless to get Lucia back. Swept by inexorable currents, Lucia’s fate is interwoven with those of Juan de Villalva, a Spanish mission priest, and Isaac Bull, an Englishman in search of fortune in the New World. As the three lives unfold, we are drawn into a complex world where cultures meet and often clash. With compelling drama and historical accuracy, Apalachee portrays the decimation of the Indian mission culture of Spanish Florida by English Carolina during Queen Anne’s war at the beginning of the eighteenth century—and the little-known institution of Indian slavery in America. “[A] sweeping novel of Native American life during the early colonial period.”—Publishers Weekly “This richly textured story follows the intertwined lives of Native American, Spanish, and British characters…Clearly a meticulous researcher, Hudson does the reader an additional service by providing notes at the end.”—Historical Novel Society

It tells what time of year to go, the most popular dive sites with details on what to expect, depths, average sea conditions-- I get seasick if it's rough and prefer diving where the sites are ten minutes or less by boat, or better yet accessible from the beach.

Laszlo Moholy-Nagy

Painting After Photography

By: Joyce Tsai

Laszlo Moholy-Nagy is the first monograph on Moholy to attend to the fraught but central role painting played in shaping his aesthetic project. His reputation has been that of an artist far more interested in exploring the possibilities offered by photography, film, and other new media than in working with what he once called the 'anachronistic' medium of painting. And yet, with the exception of the period between 1928 and 1930, Moholy painted throughout his career. Joyce Tsai argues that his investment in painting, especially after 1930, emerged not only out of pragmatic and aesthetic considerations, but also out of a growing recognition of the economic, political, and ethical compromises required by his large-scale, technologically mediated projects aimed at reforming human vision. Without abandoning his commitment to fostering what he called New Vision, Moholy came to understand painting as a particularly plastic field in which the progressive possibilities of photography, film and other emergent media could find provisional expression."--Provided by publisher.

Not to mention her beautiful new secretary, the instigator of this glamorous affair, a wild Texas filly with a penchant for kicking up trouble all over Manhattan.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

By: James Joyce

Joyce's semi-autobiographical chronicle of Stephen Dedalus' passage from university student to "independent" artist is at once a richly detailed, amusing, and moving coming-of-age story, a tour de force of style and technique, and a profound examination of the Irish psyche and society.
