Fanny Bixby Spencer

Long Beach's Inspirational Firebrand

By: Marcia Lee Harris

The last daughter born to Jotham Bixby, the "Father of Long Beach," Fanny Bixby Spencer (1879-1930) carved her own singular and eccentric path across California history. Born to wealth and power, she chose a boldly independent, egalitarian lifestyle in an age when women's lives were largely confined to domesticity. Fanny served with the Long Beach Police Department as America's first policewoman. She was a founder of the city of Costa Mesa in Orange County. Her humanitarian efforts reached across ethnicities and social standing. Yet beyond her civic accomplishments, Fanny was provocative as a poet, artist, pacifist, suffragist, child advocate, foster mother and humanitarian. Marcia Lee Harris captures this fascinating woman's remarkable life, enhanced by Fanny's own poetry and soulful reflections.

Five Gifts of Pro-Aging

By: Marcia Newman

In her timely guidebook, Boomer therapist Marcia Newman brings a fresh response to an anti-aging American culture that targets women to find their value in remaining youthful looking. Five Gifts of Pro-Aging was born out of Marcia's own aging crisis and her three decades of working with women who increasingly find themselves obsessed with the insatiable practice of nip, tuck, highlight, laser, and fill. Through humor and her no-nonsense style, Marcia provides valuable tips, motivational questions, and personal stories to help you age more consciously and comfortably. Five Gifts of Pro-Aging will help you to: * Take stock of your own age phobia * Uncover and recover from prolific social stigmas about growing older * Learn about feminine carry-over behaviors and how to transform them * Clear up unfinished business and bring honor to your maturity * Feed your seasoned inner animal with the gift of wildness * Join with other pro-aging women who are bringing the humane back into humanity Marcia Newman is dedicated to helping Baby Boomers pioneer healthier aging attitudes and actions. In Marcia's own words, "We are the perfect ones to revolutionize the aging freedom movement. It is my joy and privilege to bring this labor of love into the mix. My vision holds a brighter, more mature culture where women are able to receive full human dignity, no matter one's chronological age.

SURVIVAL IN A SEA OF WHITE

"A Novel Based on the Real-Life Experiences of an African American Woman's Spiritual, Racial and Professional Journey"

By: Marcia E. Jones Cross

“Survival in a Sea of White” explores the story of Melissa Johnson, a young, single, African American public relations professional, who makes a career decision to move from her urban Pittsburgh environment to rural Détente, New Hampshire to work in the public relations office of the exclusive, predominantly white Jameson College in the mid-1980s. Little did she realize that her life was about to be turned upside down as she attempts to navigate an unwelcoming environment that tests her spiritual and emotional strength. Surrounded more than ever by a daily dose of racial, gender, homophobic and liberal disharmony, Melissa is challenged, personally and professionally, to make some tough decisions. With strong friendships, prayer and music, Melissa prevails in maintaining her morals, ethics and integrity as she victoriously “survives in a sea of white.”

Madison

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Madison

By: Marcia Brooks,Kittie Mayfield

Located about halfway between Atlanta and Augusta, the town of Madison, Georgia, grew from a settlement that was originally part of Baldwin County. Incorporated in 1809, Madison was named in honor of Pres. James Madison, who was in office at the time. Madison has the distinction of being widely known as "the town Sherman refused to burn." Although the railroad depot, some public buildings, and some outlying plantations actually were burned by the Union army, the homes of Madison were spared thanks to the intercession of Madison resident Joshua Hill, a former US senator who was opposed to secession. Most of Madison's homes from that era still stand today, making its historic district the second-largest in Georgia. More recently, in 2001, Madison was voted the "No. 1 Small Town in America" by Travel Holiday magazine.

British Genres

Cinema and Society, 1930-1960

By: Marcia Landy

In this unprecedented survey of British cinema from the 1930s to the New Wave of the 1960s, Marcia Landy explores how cinematic representation and social history converge. Landy focuses on the genre film, a product of British mass culture often dismissed by critics as "unrealistic," showing that in England such cinema subtly dramatized unresolved cultural conflicts and was, in fact, more popular than critics have claimed. Her discussion covers hundreds of works--including historical films, films of empire, war films, melodrama, comedy, science-fiction, horror, and social problem films--and reveals their relation to changing attitudes toward class, race, national identity, sexuality, and gender. Landy begins by describing the status and value of genre theory, then provides a history of British film production that illuminates the politics and personalities connected with the major studios. In vivid accounts of the films within each genre, she analyzes styles, codes, and conventions to show how the films negotiate history, fantasy, and lived experience. Throughout Landy creates a dynamic sense of genre and of how the genres shape, not merely reflect, cultural conflicts. Originally published in 1991. 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.

Fierce Angels

Living with a Legacy from the Sacred Dark Feminine to the Strong Black Woman

By: Sheri Parks,Marcia Ann Gillespie

The &“Strong Black Woman&” has been a part of mainstream culture for centuries, as a myth, a goddess, a positive role model, a stereotype, and as a burden. In Fierce Angels, Sheri Parks explores the concept of the Strong Black Woman, its influence on people of all races, and the ways in which black women respond to and are affected by this image. Originating in the ancient Sacred Dark Feminine as a nurturing and fierce goddess, the Strong Black Woman can be found in myths from every continent. Slaves and slave owners alike brought the legend to America, where the spiritual icon evolved into the secular Strong Black Woman, with examples ranging from the slave Mammy to the poet Maya Angelou. She continues to appear in popular culture in television and movies, such as Law and Order and The Help, and as an inspirational symbol associated with the dispossessed in political movements, in particular from Africa. The book presents the stories of historical and living black women who embody the role and puts the icon in its historical and evolutionary context, presenting a balanced account of its negative and positive impact on black culture. This new paperback edition has been revised from the hardcover edition to include two new chapters that expand on the transformative Dark Feminine in alchemy and Western literature and a chapter on the political uses and further potential of the Sacred Dark Feminine in social justice movements in the United States and abroad.

Unbleaching the Curriculum

Enhancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Beyond in Schools and Society

By: Greg Wiggan,Annette Teasdell,Marcia J. Watson-Vandiver,Sheikia Talley-Matthews

Unbleaching the Curriculum: Enhancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Beyond in Schools and Society is an innovative work that applies a new perspective to curriculum desgin in U.S. public schools. Introducing the framework of unbleaching, the book explores curricular omissions and falsifications for the purpose of advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in school processes and practices. Its content is groundbreaking as it introduces readers to often omitted contributions such as The Teachings of PtahHotep, the oldest book in the world, and The Ahmes Papyrus, the oldest mathematical document in the world, among others. The Nation's Report Card government report indicates that U.S. schools are experiencing modest performance (NAEP, 2022). Thus, unbleaching framework has the potential to improve student performance through curriculum development that is informed by multicultural practices. The eight key tenets and processes of unbleaching provide the context for how the curriculum might address notable omissions and suppressed historical contributions and promote greater DEI in U.S. public schools.

Willow Creek History

Tales of Cow Camps, Shake Makers & Basket Weavers

By: Marcia Penner Freedman

It's the same Willow Creek that flows into Bass Lake and moves through five powerhouses generating twenty-seven kilowatts of electricity for California. It's the same Willow Creek that rises at eight thousand feet in the Sierra Forest, crashes through narrow granite canyons and meanders through serene mountain passes on its journey to its confluence with the San Joaquin River twenty-five miles below. Logging railroads have carried their loads alongside and over Willow Creek. Native tribes made their homes along its banks. Each year, thousands of people swim and boat and fish in its waters. In this history of Willow Creek, local author Marcia Penner Freedman shares the amazing story of these moving waters and the people whose lives have been touched by Willow Creek.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to 30,000 Baby Names

By: Marcia Layton Turner,Robbi Hess

The Complete Idiot s Guide to 30,000 Baby Namesoffers a little something extra than the majority of books on the market. Rather than provide readers with an alphabetized name list for each gender (which, by the way, it also does), it dedicates approximately half of its total pages to various lists that help parents zero in on the perfect name for their baby and add some fun to the baby-naming process. In addition to the various lists of names and a two-color alphabetized name section, this book also contains colorful name histories and helpful information on how to go about finding and choosing the perfect name. Lists include something for everyone.

Jews of Florida: Centuries of Stories

By: Marcia Jo Zerivitz

This first comprehensive history of the Jews of Florida from colonial times to the present is a sweeping tapestry of voices. Despite not being officially allowed to live in Florida until 1763, Jewish immigrants escaping expulsions and exclusions were among the earliest settlers. They have been integral to every facet of Florida's growth, from tilling the land and developing early communities to boosting tourism and ultimately pushing mankind into space. The Sunshine State's Jews, working for the common good, have been Olympians, Nobel Prize winners, computer pioneers, educators, politicians, leaders in business and the arts and more, while maintaining their heritage to help ensure Jewish continuity for future generations. This rich narrative - accompanied by 700 images, most rarely seen - is the result of three-plus decades of grassroots research by author Marcia Jo Zerivitz, giving readers an incomparable look at the long and crucial history of Jews in Florida.
