Women in the Biological Sciences

A Biobibliographic Sourcebook

By: Carol A. Biermann,Louise S. Grinstein,Rose K. Rose

Biology textbooks and books on the history of science generally give a limited picture of the roles women have played in the growth and development of the biological sciences, mentioning primarily the Nobel laureates. This book provides a definitive archival collection of essays on a larger group of women, profiling both their work and their lives. The volume includes 65 representative women from different countries and eras, and from as many branches of biological investigation as possible. In addition to biographical information and an evaluation of the woman's career and significance, each entry provides a full bibliographic listing of works by and about the subject. The volume includes entries on women who have gained recognition through attainment of advanced degrees despite familial and societal pressures, innovative research results, influence exerted in teaching and guidance of students, active participation and leadership in professional societies, extensive scholarly publication, participation on journal editorial boards, extensive field experience, and influence on public and political scientific policymaking. A woman was considered eligible for inclusion if she met several of these criteria. Providing a historical perspective, the book is limited to women who were born before 1930 or are deceased.

Freedom’S Final Season

Survival and Recovery from the Depths of Mangled Spirit

By: Loraine Louise Webb

Freedoms Final Season by Lorraine Louise Webb is a spell binding, fast moving account of the life of her main character, Lisa, as she travels through childhood, marriages, divorces, loss of children, life events that leave her battered, alcoholism and recovery, only to discover that life in recovery, although difficult at times is full of quality and events that continue to help her learn and grow into a strong, successful woman. This story shares detailed events about the life of a woman destined for heartache and failure only to find that while recovery for her continues to be difficult, sobriety allows her to manage even the toughest challenges in ways she had not foreseen. Lisa is a fighter; a woman who takes years to learn her own value and the important lesson here is the value of forgiveness, which eventually helps her to heal. Her recovery begins with a twelve step program and continues as her faith grows with the help of others who have preceded her in recovery. Each season unfolds with powerful poetry inserted to further enhance the intimate emotion of the forthcoming events and allows the reader further insight into the emotions felt and conveyed by the storyteller. The readers interest is captured in the beginning as she reveals more and more truths about her main character whose life is relatable to so many as she continues to learn everything she can to become that valued member of her own family that she has always longed to be. Its a story that will help mothers and daughters learn more about the intricate balance of those delicate relationships; what might destroy them and what is needed to help make them stronger. A powerful read about hope, recovery and relationships.

Letters to Matthew

Letters to Matthew

Life After Loss

By: Louise Bates

‘Letters to Matthew’ invites you into the world of grief. It is not sugar coated or edited to make it an easy read, which is why it has been separated into two distinct parts. Part one contains the heartfelt letters written by grieving mother Louise to her son Matthew after he died at the age of twenty-seven. The letters are a mixture of anguish, deep sorrow, humour, wisdom, personal insights and experiences that may resonate with others who have lost a special person. Part two is about her journey of self-discovery and how Louise turned her grief and loss into something positive. This book is not about fixing people or forcing the healing process because, as the book explains, there is no cure for grief. Grief can only be absorbed, carried, experienced and cared for. The loss of a child is unimaginable, but Louise has managed to turn this heart-breaking experience into something positive. By sharing her letters, insights, thoughts and feelings with the world she is not only keeping Matthew’s memory alive but also giving hope to other people that life can meaningful again after the death of a loved one. Grief is a sensitive subject which makes it challenging for writers to describe in a way that feels both real and honest. Louise has shown her vulnerability and documented her experience in a very brave and open-hearted way. The book does have an uplifting ending!

Sacred Groves and Ravaged Gardens

The Fiction of Eudora Welty, Carson Mccullers, and Flannery O'Connor

By: Louise Westling

In Sacred Groves and Ravaged Gardens, Louise Westling explores how the complex, difficult roles of women in southern culture shaped the literary worlds of Eudora Welty, Carson McCullers, and Flannery O'Connor. Tracing the cultural heritage of the South, Westling shows how southern women reacted to the violent, false world created by their men--a world in which women came to be shrouded as icons of purity in atonement for the sins of men. Exposing the actual conditions of women's lives, creating assertive protagonists who resist or revise conventional roles, and exploring rich matriarchal traditions and connections to symbolic landscapes Welty, McCullers, and O'Connor created a body of fiction that enriches and complements the patriarchal version of southern life presented in the works of William Faulkner, John Crowe Ransom, Allen Tate, and William Styron.

Thomas White (c. 1736–1811)

Redesigning the northern British landscape

By: Deborah Turnbull,Louise Wickham

This volume aims to restore the reputation of Thomas White, who in his time was as well respected as his fellow landscape designers Lancelot 'Capability' Brown and Humphry Repton. By the end of his career, he had produced designs for at least 32 sites across northern England and over 60 in Scotland. These include nationally important designed landscapes in Yorkshire such as Harewood House, Sledmere Hall, Burton Constable Hall, Newby Hall, Mulgrave Castle as well as Raby Castle in Durham, Belle Isle in Cumbria, and Brocklesby Hall in Lincolnshire. He has a vital role in the story of how northern English designed landscapes evolved in the 18th century. The book focuses on White's known commissions in England and sheds further light on the work of other designers such as Brown and Repton, who worked on many of the same sites. White set up as an independent designer in 1765, having worked for Brown from 1759, and his style developed over the next thirty years. Never merely a 'follower of Brown', as he is often erroneously described, his designs for plantations in particular were much admired and influenced the later, more informal styles of the picturesque movement. The improvement plans he produced for his clients demonstrate his surveying and artistic skills. These plans were working documents but at the same time works of art in their own right. Over 60 of his beautifully-executed colored plans survive, which is a testament to the value his clients placed on them. This book makes available for the first time over 90% of the known plans and surveys by White for England. Also included are plans by White's contemporaries, together with later maps, estate surveys, and contemporary illustrations to understand which parts of improvement plans were implemented.
