The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate

By: Jacqueline Kelly

In this witty historical fiction middle grade novel set at the turn of the century, an 11-year-old girl explores the natural world, learns about science and animals, and grows up. A Newbery Honor Book. “The most delightful historical novel for tweens in many, many years. . . . Callie's struggles to find a place in the world where she'll be encouraged in the gawky joys of intellectual curiosity are fresh, funny, and poignant today.” —The New Yorker Calpurnia Virginia Tate is eleven years old in 1899 when she wonders why the yellow grasshoppers in her Texas backyard are so much bigger than the green ones. With a little help from her notoriously cantankerous grandfather, an avid naturalist, she figures out that the green grasshoppers are easier to see against the yellow grass, so they are eaten before they can get any larger. As Callie explores the natural world around her, she develops a close relationship with her grandfather, navigates the dangers of living with six brothers, and comes up against just what it means to be a girl at the turn of the century. Author Jacqueline Kelly deftly brings Callie and her family to life, capturing a year of growing up with unique sensitivity and a wry wit. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly was a 2010 Newbery Honor Book and the winner of the 2010 Bank Street - Josette Frank Award. This title has Common Core connections. This is perfect for young readers who like historical fiction, STEM topics, animal stories, and feminist middle grade novels. Don't miss the sequel!

When the House Was Bright Pink

By: Jacqueline Chan Valencic

When the House was Bright Pink Welcome to a world where yo-yos and Hula Hoops, Jell-O and Kool-Aid, "Father Knows Best," "American Bandstand," drive-in theaters, and homecooked meals are the norm. Welcome to a time when e-mail and cell phones don't exist; when girls can't wear pants to school; when houses mustn't stay bright pink.. This collection of short coming-of-age stories in verse travels to a 1950's, 1960's America, where the world seemed safer-at least in Mountain View, California. These stories, though reflecting a bygone era, speak to us in the present. For the need to be heard, to be seen, to be recognized are as perennial as the stars in the sky, as eternal as time flying by. These verses were written for grown-ups, but can be read by children twelve years and older. Read a poem a day, or a poem a week..Enjoy the illustrations. Enjoy. Follow a "homely" middle child's observations and struggles while growing up in a nine-member family. See how family provides the foundation for an overall happy, memorable childhood. See how family buoys her from drowning in a larger, harsher world-a world torn between rejecting her and molding her into a "proper" American. The center of this world is pre-Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Region. Enjoy. About the Author Jacqueline Chan Valencic didn't become obsessed with writing "rhymes" until she was laid off from a high tech company in 2001. The rhymes kept coming; she couldn't stop-It was too much fun. She was 53 years young. Since childhood, writing was just something she did-a natural extension of the self: in diaries, letters, short stories, essays, free-verse, and even in an unpublished novel. None of these writing mediums, however, exhilarated her as much as writing poems that rhyme. To her, it was and is the most challenging.and stimulating. Her poetic heroes?-Robert Louis Stevenson, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Ogden Nash, Dr. Seuss, and Shel Silverstein. Born in China and raised in Mountain View, California, Ms. Valencic now works and lives with her husband, Jay, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

George Meredith

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

George Meredith

By: Jacqueline P. Banerjee

George Meredith was a lyrical yet searingly honest poet, and an influential novelist whose fiction distilled, contributed to and animated the major debates of the Victorian age. He became at once an arbiter of taste in his own times, and a trailblazer for modernism. In many ways an extraordinary, larger-than-life figure, he has always had his admirers, and critics have continued to be drawn to the biographical, socio-political, scientific and experimental aspects of his oeuvre. Some of his works, including the sonnets ofModern Love, his 'Essay on Comedy and the Uses of the Comic Spirit', and novels like The Egoist, have attained the status of classics. The present study focuses on such works, putting them in context to show how innovatively this versatile writer shaped and reshaped his material, and how powerfully his inimitable voice still resonates with (and challenges) us in the twenty first century.

Escape from the Legion

By: Jacqueline A. Granström

Escape from the Legion is loosely based on fact and real events. It tells the story of "Tom," a young Swede in his twenties who was shanghaied into the French Foreign Legion in the 1970s, and after surviving all manor of adventures, manages to escape. This unlikely tale of a young ex-soldier plucked unceremoniously from a conventional life in Sweden, describes how as an unwilling recruit of the FFL, he confronts the mental and physical challenges of the FFL. Tom's narrative sustains a lively pace to keep up with everything that happens to him. A sequence of events unfolds to test Tom's instinct for survival, as well as his capacity for indulgence. With a wealth of scenarios, each authentic and vivid in detail, the novel demonstrates the author's ability to see drama in terms of real life, and spin it into a convincing and captivating yarn. From brutality to tenderness, from the inexplicable to the inevitable, with Tom there is never a dull moment.

Juneau and Sauk Counties

1850-2000

By: Jacqueline Ann,Sheila Zenk

Wild flowers and powerful rivers carved out the landscape, and the beauty of the Baraboo Bluffs touched the pioneers' spirits. Ships full of immigrants plowed across the ocean, while dreams, faith, and courage helped families into the oxen-drawn wagons that carried them to Juneau and Sauk Counties. As the forces in their homelands pushed them toward south central Wisconsin, brother wrote to brother, mother to son, neighbor to former neighbor, bringing people from the same communities in the Old World to settle near each other in the new. Highway 12 in Sauk Prairie became known as Yankee Street, and Lyndon Station in Juneau County was called Irish Alley. Today, the counties are home to many popular tourist destinations, including Rocky Arbor State Park, Devil's Lake, and the Wisconsin Dells. The images in these pages showcase photographs from family, community, and historical society collections.

Folklore of Sussex

By: Jacqueline Simpson

Sussex, though near London and nowadays extensively urbanized, has a rich heritage of traditional local stories, customs, and beliefs. Among many topics explored here are tales linked to landscape features and ancient churches which involve such colorful themes as lost bells, buried treasures, dragons, fairies, and the devil. There are also traditions relating to ghosts, graves, and gibbets, and the strange powers of witches. This book, when it was first published in 1973, was the first to be entirely devoted to Sussex folklore. This new edition contains information collected over the last 30 years, updated accounts of county customs and, alongside the original line drawings, is illustrated with photographs and printed ephemera relating to Sussex lore.

But when she returns home to confront him, Jake isn’t just emotionally distant—he’s gone, along with all his things. All that remains is a lone laptop with a map of everywhere she has been over the past days and a timer that is ticking down . . . Kate turns to the police, who just think she’s been dumped. Then comes an anonymous threat and a demand for money. Nothing seems to make sense. Will she ever get her husband back? And does she really want to? Praise for Jacqueline Ward’s novels “Wildly entertaining and compelling.” —Daily Mail “Tense and gripping.” —Sanjida Kay, author of My Mother’s Secret “Hugely engrossing.” —Catherine Ryan Howard, Edgar Award finalist

American Culture in the 1940s

By: Jacqueline Foertsch

This book explores the major cultural forms of 1940s America - fiction and non-fiction; music and radio; film and theatre; serious and popular visual arts - and key texts, trends and figures, from Native Son to Citizen Kane, from Hiroshima to HUAC, and from Dr Seuss to Bob Hope. After discussing the dominant ideas that inform the 1940s the book culminates with a chapter on the 'culture of war'. Rather than splitting the decade at 1945, Jacqueline Foertsch argues persuasively that the 1940s should be taken as a whole, seeking out links between wartime and postwar American culture.

"We are the Mods"

A Transnational History of a Youth Subculture

By: Christine Jacqueline Feldman

Drawing on archival research, oral history interviews, and participant observation, this examination of the adoption and adaptation of Mod style across geographic space also maps its various interpretations over time, from the early 1960s to the present. The book traces the Mod youth culture from its genesis in the dimly lit clubs of London's Soho. where it began as a way for young people to reconfigure modernity after the chaos of World War II, to its contemporary, country-specific expressions. By examining Mod culture in the United States, Germany, and Japan alongside the United Kingdom, "We Are the Mods" contrasts the postwar development of Mod in those countries that lost the war with those that won. The book illuminates the culture's fashion, music, iconography, and gender aesthetics, to create a compelling portrait of a transnational subculture." --Book Jacket.

Lectures on Art

Selected Conférences from the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, 1667-1772

By: Christian Michel, Jacqueline Lichtenstein

For the first time, a critical selection of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture’s highly influential conférences is available in English. Between 1667 and 1792, the artists and amateurs of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in Paris lectured on the Académie’s conférences, foundational documents in the theory and practice of art. These texts and the principles they embody guided artistic practice and art theory in France and throughout Europe for two centuries. In the 1800s, the Académie’s influence waned, and few of the 388 Académie lectures were translated into English. Eminent scholars Christian Michel and Jacqueline Lichtenstein have selected and annotated forty-two of the most representative lectures, creating the first authoritative collection of the conférences for readers of English. Essential to understanding French art of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, these lectures reveal what leading French artists looked for in a painting or sculpture, the problems they sought to resolve in their works, and how they viewed their own and others’ artistic practice.

People Like Ourselves

Portrayals of Mental Illness in the Movies

By: Jacqueline Noll Zimmerman

The stigmatization of mental illness in film has been well documented in literature. Little has been written, however, about the ability of movies to portray mental illness sympathetically and accurately. People Like Ourselves: Portrayals of Mental Illness in the Movies fills that void with a close look at mental illness in more than seventy American movies, beginning with classics such as The Snake Pit and Now, Voyager and including such contemporary successes as A Beautiful Mind and As Good as It Gets. Films by legendary directors Billy Wilder, William Wyler, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Oliver Stone, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and John Cassavetes are included. Through the examination of universal themes relating to one's self and society, the denial of reality, the role of women, creativity, war, and violence, Zimmerman argues that these ground-breaking films defy stereotypes, presenting sympathetic portraits of people who are mentally ill, and advance the movie-going public's understanding of mental illness, while providing insight into its causes, diagnosis, and treatment. More importantly, they portray mentally ill people as ordinary people with conflicts and desires common to everyone. Like the motion pictures it revisits, this fascinating book offers insight, entertainment, and a sense of understanding.
