The Women

A Novel

By: Kristin Hannah

A #1 bestseller on The New York Times, USA Today, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times! From the celebrated author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds comes Kristin Hannah's The Women—at once an intimate portrait of coming of age in a dangerous time and an epic tale of a nation divided. Women can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath hears these words, it is a revelation. Raised in the sun-drenched, idyllic world of Southern California and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965, the world is changing, and she suddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is over-whelmed by the chaos and destruction of war. Each day is a gamble of life and death, hope and betrayal; friendships run deep and can be shattered in an instant. In war, she meets—and becomes one of—the lucky, the brave, the broken, and the lost. But war is just the beginning for Frankie and her veteran friends. The real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America, to angry protesters, and to a country that wants to forget Vietnam. The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm’s way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. A novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism, The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era.

Livy's History Notes

By: Kristin L. Fredrickson with Andrew G. Miller

An Invitation There’s no place like Rome. Founded in 753 BC, according to legend by the city’s first king, Romulus, it was the world’s headquarters for over a thousand years during the Empire. The city contains layers upon layers of archeological treasures. A center of art and architecture, culture and cuisine, Rome is one of the most visited cities in the world. I invite you on a three-month journey inside Rome and beyond through the journal of your tour guide, Kristin, her husband, and your driver, Andrew, and their six-month-old English springer spaniel, Titus Livius—Livy for short. Yes, you read that right, they are traveling with a six-month-old puppy, and that’s not half as funny as the tales you will read along the way. This isn’t Kristin and Andrew’s first rodeo. In fact, they have traveled together to over one hundred countries, so you will be in their good, capable hands. Kristin was a Classical Humanities major at The Ohio State University and has carried a passion for history with her throughout their travels. She continues to be an avid student of history, as is evident in the bibliography that follows, and she has a true gift for bringing history to life in an interesting and entertaining way. In addition to travel and history, Kristin and Andrew are avid foodies. Throughout your journey, you will read some mouthwatering descriptions of feasts you can almost taste. Speaking of food, your journey’s icing on the cake is a trip through Greece. Located at the geographic and historic crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, Greece is considered the cradle of Western civilization. The territory was annexed by Rome from 146 BC, thus becoming an integral part of Rome’s vast empire. This promises to be a wonderful journey with all the spectacular sights you will see, the interesting history you will learn, and the engaging culture you will experience. Come join them for a fun, funny, and fantastic trip through Rome, Greece, and history. We’ll leave the driving to Andrew! Tom Henz

The Good Drone

By: Kristin Bergtora Sandvik,Maria Gabrielsen Jumbert

While the military use of drones has been the subject of much scrutiny, the use of drones for humanitarian purposes has so far received little attention. As the starting point for this study, it is argued that the prospect of using drones for humanitarian and other life-saving activities has produced an alternative discourse on drones, dedicated to developing and publicizing the endless possibilities that drones have for "doing good". Furthermore, it is suggested that the Good Drone narrative has been appropriated back into the drone warfare discourse, as a strategy to make war "more human". This book explores the role of the Good Drone as an organizing narrative for political projects, technology development and humanitarian action. Its contribution to the debate is to take stock of the multiple logics and rationales according to which drones are "good", with a primary objective to initiate a critical conversation about the political currency of "good". This study recognizes the many possibilities for the use of drones and takes these possibilities seriously by critically examining the difference the drones' functionalities can make, but also what difference the presence of drones themselves – as unmanned and flying objects – make. Discussed and analysed are the implications for the drone industry, user communities, and the areas of crisis where drones are deployed.

Statuary from Royal Buildings at Amarna

Its Creation and Contents

By: Marsha Hill,Kristin Thompson

Over more than a century and a quarter of excavations the royal and administrative buildings in the city of Amarna have yielded the remains of many hundreds of statues that had been part of Akhenaten's visionary plan. But fragmentation and dispersal have up until now made the results almost invisible. Only a relatively small number of the original statues have been widely known, even to experts. The present publication brings together all these traces of the city's past to reveal the abundance, beauty, variety, and novelty of the statuary and to begin the process of reintegrating it in considerations of the temples and palaces of the city. The work is presented in two parts. The first volume presents extensive observations about the creation of the statuary, comprising chapters dealing with the range of materials and the methods of working them, a detailed explication of the novel creation of composite statuary, and an overview of the workshop buildings that have been identified so far at Amarna. In the second volume, the excavated fragments themselves, most of them previously unpublished, are catalogued in a series of chapters devoted to individual royal buildings. The original statues are envisioned and analysed for their contexts, resulting in new information about these buildings, the intentions and concerns behind them, and the evolution in those intentions.

Surplus

By: Christopher T. Morehart,Kristin De Lucia

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Surplus

By: Christopher T. Morehart,Kristin De Lucia

The concept of surplus captures the politics of production and also conveys the active material means by which people develop the strategies to navigate everyday life. Surplus: The Politics of Production and the Strategies of Everyday Life examines how surpluses affected ancient economies, governments, and households in civilizations across Mesoamerica, the Southwest United States, the Andes, Northern Europe, West Africa, Mesopotamia, and eastern Asia.A hallmark of archaeological research on sociopolitical complexity, surplus is central to theories of political inequality and institutional finance. This book investigates surplus as a macro-scalar process on which states or other complex political formations depend and considers how past people—differentially positioned based on age, class, gender, ethnicity, role, and goal—produced, modified, and mobilized their social and physical worlds.Placing the concept of surplus at the forefront of archaeological discussions on production, consumption, power, strategy, and change, this volume reaches beyond conventional ways of thinking about top-down or bottom-up models and offers a comparative framework to examine surplus, generating new questions and methodologies to elucidate the social and political economies of the past.

Class Warfare

Class Warfare

Class, Race, and College Admissions in Top-Tier Secondary Schools

By: Lois Weis,Kristin Cipollone,Heather Jenkins

Stories abound about the lengths to which middle- and upper-middle-class parents will go to ensure a spot for their child at a prestigious university. From the Suzuki method to calculus-based physics, from AP tests all the way back to early-learning Kumon courses, students are increasingly pushed to excel with that Harvard or Yale acceptance letter held tantalizingly in front of them. And nowhere is this drive more apparent than in our elite secondary schools. In Class Warfare, Lois Weis, Kristin Cipollone, and Heather Jenkins go inside the ivy-yearning halls of three such schools to offer a day-to-day, week-by-week look at this remarkable drive toward college admissions and one of its most salient purposes: to determine class. Drawing on deep and sustained contact with students, parents, teachers, and administrators at three iconic secondary schools in the United States, the authors unveil a formidable process of class positioning at the heart of the college admissions process. They detail the ways students and parents exploit every opportunity and employ every bit of cultural, social, and economic capital they can in order to gain admission into a “Most Competitive” or “Highly Competitive Plus” university. Moreover, they show how admissions into these schools—with their attendant rankings—are used to lock in or improve class standing for the next generation. It’s a story of class warfare within a given class, the substrata of which—whether economically, racially, or socially determined—are fiercely negotiated through the college admissions process. In a historic moment marked by deep economic uncertainty, anxieties over socioeconomic standing are at their highest. Class, as this book shows, must be won, and the collateral damage of this aggressive pursuit may just be education itself, flattened into a mere victory banner.

The Global City 2.0

The Global City 2.0

From Strategic Site to Global Actor

By: Kristin Ljungkvist

Global cities all over the world are taking on new roles as they increasingly participate directly and independently in international affairs and global politics. So far, surprisingly few studies have analyzed the role of the Global City beyond its already well explicated role in the globalized economy. How is it that local governments of Global Cities claim international political authority and develop what appears to be their own independent foreign and security policies despite the fact that such policy areas have traditionally been considered to be the core function of nation-states and central governments? What does it mean to be and to govern the contemporary Global City? In this book Kristin Ljungkvist claims that we can better understand why local governments find it to be in their Global City’s interest to claim international political authority by exploring how the city’s role in the globalized world is constructed and narrated locally. A core claim is that Global City-hood as a specific type of collective identity can play a constitutive part in such interest formation. Combining insights from International Relations and Urban Studies scholarship, and with the help of a case study on New York City, Ljungkvist develops a new analytical framework for studying the Global City as an international political actor. The Global City 2.0 shows that even as the Global City engages in various global issues such as global environmental governance or counterterrorism, such pursuit will be framed and rationalized in terms of the city’s economic growth. The quest for growth and global competitiveness are not necessarily the only available meanings attached to the being and governing of the contemporary Global City. However, there seems to be a remarkable persistency and attraction in economistic ideas and an economistic conception of the Global City.

BLESSED! Rape to Redemption to Rewards

By: Suzanne L Maurer,Kristin P Snyder

BLESSED! From Rape to Redemption to Rewards reveals the tragedies of Suzanne’s date rape (in 1960), pregnancy, and forced marriage. Her agony is clear, as is the impact on her family. She also shows the inevitable, but heart-breaking difficulties of the forced marriage, and the resulting divorce. But God! Suzanne explains and shows how God was working in her life, even before she became a believer. Through a “freak” accident and a sister living in Hawaii, God moved Suzanne where she met her husband of now more than 55 years and built a wonderful family. Blessings abounded. And then God! God then redeemed the son conceived by date rape, using basketball as His tool! This is a gripping story all by itself. Suzanne’s next encounter with Almighty God’s amazing grace was His using her son to lead her to Christ. The son conceived by date rape was instrumental in her own redemption. Suzanne explains how she grew in the Lord, and shows readers how they themselves can mature spiritually. The Bible and prayer are fundamental keys, as are other disciplines she learned. She shows how. Thrilling stories of the joy and results of sharing and serving the Lord follow. Come see the Lord at work. Now, at 82, Suzanne has ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). This horrible disease to most would be a tragedy. But Suzanne, an ordinary Christian, is not a normal ALS patient. She shows us all how to joyfully live in illness, and how she has new opportunities to serve the Lord. God turned horrors into blessing. Join her for her journey of living out HOPE (Helping Others Prepare for Eternity).
