Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Genre: Historical Fiction The Sarsaparilla Souvenir is fiction based on the true story of the life of Mary Broad, a girl from Cornwall, who becomes a First Fleet convict exiled from her home. Through her courage, determination and intelligence she organises the first successful escape from Port Jackson with her husband, William Bryant and their two children, four-year-old Charlotte and one year old Emmanuel. They are accompanied by seven other convicts, escaping in Governor Phillips cutter, making a voyage along the east coast of Australia to West Timor, a navigational feat said to be equal in brilliance to that of the Bligh voyage after the mutiny on the Bounty. In so doing Mary shines as the 'one who got away' - the first female convict expatriate of Australia. Although they defy storms, starvation, thirst and savage aborigines to succeed in this endeavour, betrayal within their own ranks leads to their recapture. During the course of their shipment back to Newgate Prison, six of the party die, including Will Bryant and the two children. Upon Marys much publicised return, James Boswell, lawyer and biographer of Sir Samuel Johnson, takes an interest in her case, assisting in obtaining her release and that of the remaining convicts, whereupon they must re-enter English life. While these are the main events in the story, the historical facts are the bare bones of The Sarsaparilla Souvenir. This is not just another convict life. She is the female Ned Kelly we have been looking for. The four-part structure of The Sarsaparilla Souvenir mirrors Marys emotional voyage. From loss of innocence and liberty, she sinks into the criminal world of prison hulk and convict ship, sailing down to be submerged in the antipodean destitution and subjugated within the impregnable confines of Port Jackson. The process of surfacing once more is played out in the emotional buffeting she takes from the lofty success of their escape, plunging to the depths of despair with their recapture and the deaths of her children, till she finally climbs to acceptance in her defeat. Along with her unexpected freedom in Part Four, Mary finds hope and a future in which she can soar. The Sarsaparilla Souvenir is a story with all the elements of epic drama, covering the full gamut of emotions as expressed through the strengths and weaknesses of the characters. Its appeal lies in the very ordinary human heart withstanding great suffering, in the very ordinary human being struggling and defeating an unjust and brutal system, and in the knowledge that two frail sarsaparilla leaves, relics of this great adventure, now rest quietly on a shelf in the Library of New South Wales two hundred years later, having survived an equally remarkable voyage. The fact that this is so defies sunny logic but brings Starlight to our Blackest Night.

Saturn's Moons

A W.G Sebald Handbook

By: Jo Catling

The German novelist, poet and critic W. G. Sebald (1944-2001) has in recent years attracted a phenomenal international following for his evocative prose works such as Die Ausgewanderten (The Emigrants), Die Ringe des Saturn (The Rings of Saturn) and Austerlitz, spellbinding elegiac narratives which, through their deliberate blurring of genre boundaries and provocative use of photography, explore questions of Heimat and exile, memory and loss, history and natural history, art and nature. Saturn's Moons: a W. G. Sebald Handbook brings together in one volume a wealth of new critical and visual material on Sebald's life and works, covering the many facets and phases of his literary and academic careers -- as teacher, as scholar and critic, as colleague and as collaborator on translation. Lavishly illustrated, the Handbook also contains a number of rediscovered short pieces by W. G. Sebald, hitherto unpublished interviews, a catalogue of his library, and selected poems and tributes, as well as extensive primary and secondary bibliographies, details of audiovisual material and interviews, and a chronology of life and works. Drawing on a range of original sources from Sebald's Nachlass - the most important part of which is now held in the Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach - Saturn's Moons6g will be an invaluable sourcebook for future Sebald studies in English and German alike, complementing and augmenting recent critical works on subjects such as history, memory, modernity, reader response and the visual. The contributors include Mark Anderson, Anthea Bell, Ulrich von Buelow, Jo Catling, Michael Hulse, Florian Radvan, Uwe Schuette, Clive Scott, Richard Sheppard, Gordon Turner, Stephen Watts and Luke Williams. Jo Catling teaches in the School of Literature at the University of East Anglia and Richard Hibbitt in the Department of French at the University of Leeds.

Diversity and Changing Values in Address

Spanish Address Pronoun Usage in an Intercultural Immigrant Context

By: Jo-anne Hughson

Different national varieties of Spanish, for instance Argentinian, Colombian and Mexican, use different address systems, with different numbers of pronouns, and also give pronouns a different social significance. For the first time, this study discusses and analyses these paradigms in the context of inter-varietal contact in a third country, with English as an additional contact language. A multiplicity of data collection methods made it possible to uncover many new insights into address behaviour. New definitions for address pronouns are proposed, and issues arising from address are discussed, such as: awareness, proficiency, avoidance, accommodation, and uncertainty. In addition, some unexpected practices emerged, which call into question all previously accepted norms of usage.

The Fur Trade Revisited

Selected Papers of the Sixth North American Fur Trade Conference, Mackinac Island, Michigan, 1991

By: Jo-Anne Fisk

The Fur Trade Revisited is a collection of twenty-eight essays selected from the more than fifty presentations made at the Sixth North American Fur Trade Conference held on Mackinac Island, Michigan, in the fall of 1991. Essays contained in this important new interpretive work focus on the history, archaeology, and literature of a fascinating, growing area of scholarly investigation. Underscoring the work's multifaceted approach is an introductory essay by Lily McAuley titled "Memories of a Trapper's Daughter." This vivid and compelling account of the fur-trade life sets a level of quality for what follows. Part one of The Fur Trade Revisited discusses eighteenth-century fur trade intersections with European markets. The essays in part two examine Native people and the strategies they employed to meet demands placed on them by the market for furs. Part three examines the origins, motives, and careers of those who actually participated in the fur trade. Part four focuses attention on the indigenous fur-trade culture and subsequent archaeology in the area around Mackinac Island, Michigan, while part five contains studies focusing on the fur-trade culture in other parts of North America. Part six assesses the fur trade after 1870 and part seven contains evaluations of the critical historical and literary interpretations prevalent in fur-trade scholarship.

Dare to Dream, Joe Shore

A Memoir

By: Jo-Anne Shaw

Born into a dysfunctional family in Oakville, Ontario, in the 1950s, Jo-Anne Shaw was forced to leave home at sixteen to escape her abusive father. A high-school dropout, she would go on to endure two abusive marriages and years of serious depression. When she became a single mother of four, she knew something had to change for her children’s sake. Defying all the odds, Shaw went back to school, got her Master of Social Work, and became a successful psychotherapist. Her past gave her the insight and compassion she needed to help others who suffered abuse and mental health challenges. By channeling her own pain, she could become a beacon of hope for those who were struggling. As a therapist, she could show women in abusive relationships that they could heal, leave their abusive partners, become financially independent, and finally be free. Dare to Dream, Joe Shore demonstrates how harmful patterns can be challenged, disrupted, and replaced with a healthier path to a brighter future. With humour and grace, Shaw tells her inspiring tale of resilience and survival, sharing how she navigated the challenges of those early years and finally attained her academic and career goals and the most elusive goal of all: happiness.

Technologies, Integration, Implementation and Applications

By: Daniel Minoli,Jo-Anne Dressendofer

High-Density and De-Densified Smart Campus Communications Design, deliver, and implement high-density communications solutions High-density campus communications are critical in the operation of densely populated airports, stadiums, convention centers, shopping malls, classrooms, hospitals, dense smart cities, and more. They also drive Smart City and Smart Building use cases as High-Density Communications (HDC) become recognized as an essential fourth utility. However, the unique requirements and designs demanded by HDC make implementation challenging. In High-Density and De-Densified Smart Campus Communications: Technologies, Integration, Implementation and Applications, a team of experienced technology strategists delivers a one-of-a-kind treatment of the requirements, technologies, designs, solutions, and trends associated with HDC. From the functional requirements for HDC and emerging data/Wi-Fi 6/internet access/5G cellular/OTT video, and IoT automation—including pandemic-related de-densification—to the economics of broad deployment of HDC, this book includes coverage of every major issue faced by the professionals responsible for the design, installation, and maintenance of high-density communication networks. It also includes: A thorough introduction to traditional and emerging voice/cellular design for campus applications, including the Distributed Antenna System (DAS) Comprehensive explorations of traditional sensor networks and Internet of Things services approaches Practical discussions of high-density Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity and related technologies, like Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6, spectrum, IoT, VoWiFi, DASs, microcells issues, and 5G versus Wi-Fi issues In-depth examinations of de-densification, office social distancing, and Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technologies Perfect for telecommunication researchers and engineers, networking professionals, technology planners, campus administrators, and equipment vendors, High-Density Smart Campus Communications will also earn a place in the libraries of senior undergraduate and graduate students in applied communications technologies.

Women Educators in the Third Republic

By: Jo Burr Margadant

A collective biography of France's first generation of female secondary schoolteachers, this book examines the conflict between their public and private lives and places their new professional standing wtihin the political culture of the Third Republic. Jo Burr Margadant charts the responses of women who attended the nornmal school of Sevres during the 1880s to their roles as teachers and subordinates in the public school system, their plight as outsiders in the social community, and their gains toward educational reforms. These women emerge as pioneers struggling to forge careers in an elite profession, which was separate and inferior to its male equivalent and also controlled by men. Margadant explains that the first women teacher in girls' colleges and lycees were expected to project an intellectually assertive presence in the classroom while maintaining a maternal solicitude toward students and a modest, self-effacing style with superiors. Many who succeeded progressed to administrative jobs and, in some cases, filled official posts left vacant by men during the First World War. The author shows how these achievements led to the transformations of girls' secondary schools into replicas of those for boys and to equal treatment for women and men in the teaching profession. Jo Burr Margadant is Lecturer in History at Santa Clara University. Originally published in 1990. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
