Lesson in Red

A Novel

By: Maria Hummel

A companion to Still Lives—a Reese's Book Club x Hello Sunshine selection—this savvy thriller exposes dark questions about power and the art world and reveals the fatal mistakes that can befall those who threaten its status quo. Brenae Brasil is a rising star at Los Angeles Art College, the most prestigious art school in the country, and her path to art world celebrity is all but assured. Until she is found dead on campus, just after completing a provocative documentary about female bodies, coercion, and self-defense. Maggie Richter's return to L.A. and her job at the Rocque Museum was supposed to be about restarting her career and reconnecting with old friends. With mounting pressure to keep the museum open, the last thing she needs is to find herself at the center of another art world mystery. But when she uncovers a number of cryptic clues in Brasil’s video art, Maggie is suddenly caught up in the shadowy art world of Los Angeles, playing a very dangerous game with some very influential people. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more lies she threatens to expose. Maria Hummel, praised for her "genius for layering levels of meaning" (BBC), has brought us back to her provocative noir Los Angeles with this haunting investigation into power and the art world.

Yorktown Victory Monument, The

By: Maria G. Hepner

In October 1781, American independence was achieved on the battlefields of Yorktown, Virginia--a glorious event that the Continental Congress determined was worthy of a monument. Moving at the speed of government, it took one hundred years to act on this resolution. In that time, Yorktown had to come to terms with its role as a site of preservation rather than a center of industry or commerce. The story of the development and preservation of The Monument to Alliance and Victory at Yorktown is a tangle of government, military, artists, historians and forces of nature. Local author Maria Hepner explores the story of this monument and the town that surrounds it.

Snapshots of Great Leadership

By: Jon P. Howell,Isaac Wanasika,Maria J. Mendez

Snapshots of Great Leadership offers a thorough look into leaders who have either accomplished amazing feats or brought destruction. Now in its third edition, this key volume explores what it means to be a great leader, and clearly explains the lives, triumphs, and challenges of a range of diverse leaders across history and into the modern day. Packed into easily digestible chapters, the authors demonstrate how, although the goals of these individuals were often quite different, the leadership processes they used were frequently similar. The opening chapter explains the latest theories of leadership and this new edition features one new leadership theory, Authentic Leadership, as well as recent research findings on the most popular theories. The authors have replaced nine leaders from earlier editions with new leaders including Elon Musk, Maria Montessori, and Virginia Hall. These new leaders exemplify unique leadership attributes and outstanding leadership effectiveness. Each leader snapshot adds an important "reality check" to the theories and models described in most introductory leadership textbooks, making this a key text for students taking leadership courses. Scholars and students of leadership and management will benefit from this accessible and comprehensive volume, as will leadership practitioners looking to reflect on and develop their own leadership skills. Offering valuable insights into the lives of historical and corporate leaders, the book is a compelling read for casual readers as well.

Kazimierz Twardowski: A Grammar for Philosophy

By: Maria van der Schaar

Kazimierz Twardowski (1866-1938) is the founder of the Lvov-Warsaw School with its strong tradition in logic and its scientific approach to philosophy. Twardowski’s unique way of doing philosophy, his method, is of central importance for understanding his impact as a teacher. This method can be understood as a philosophical grammar, which is also how Leibniz conceived his universal language of thought. Analytic philosophy in the twentieth century can be characterized by its opposition to psychologism, on the one hand, and its opposition to metaphysics, on the other. This is changing now, as questions within the philosophy of mind and metaphysics are raised by analytic philosophers today. Maria van der Schaar shows in her book that we can improve our analytic methods by making use of Twardowski’s philosophical grammar. Twardowski’s positive attitude to psychology and metaphysics may also help us to develop an analytic metaphysics and to get a better understanding of the relation between psychology and philosophy.

Sardinia on Screen

The Construction of the Sardinian Character in Italian Cinema

By: Maria Bonaria Urban

This volume explores how Sardinians and Sardinia have been portrayed in Italian cinema from the beginning of the 20th century until now, starting from the examination of Sardinian tropes in a wide range of texts – travel writing, fictional sources, essays and academic works. The purpose is to shed light on the cultural construction of the Sardinian character and to reveal the ideology that is behind this process. Hence the volume challenges topics such as the dynamics between verbal and visual imagery, and the intertwining between discourse, images and audience. It addresses the following questions: how was the Sardinian character translated from texts into films? Which strategies were developed to define Sardinian images on screen? For whom were these images intended? Which ideology lies behind the images? Focusing on cultural images within film and literature, this volume is of interest to those working in imagology, comparative, cultural and Italian studies.

Restoring Dignity in Public Schools

Human Rights Education in Action

By: Maria Hantzopoulos

For many students in urban public schools, the routines of standards-based instruction and frequent testing remove the possibilities for sustained inquiry and critical engagement in school and with the larger world. Restoring Dignity in Public Schools demonstrates how urban public schools can create thriving, authentic centers of learning. Drawing from rich narratives of human rights education (HRE) in action, the author shows how school leaders can create an environment in which a culture of dignity, respect, tolerance, and democracy flourishes. The book examines the dynamics of HRE in practice, defines its constituent elements, and explains how these components work in tandem to produce schooling that encourages young people to critically interact with the world around them and imagine different alternatives for the future. This timely book provides a viable alternative to the currently favoured strategies of increased testing, privitization, and disciplinary control.

Made in British Columbia

Eight Ways of Making Culture

By: Maria Tippett

Is there such a thing as British Columbia culture, and if so, is there anything special about it? This is the broad question Dr. Maria Tippett answers in this work with an assured “yes!” To prove her point she looks at the careers of eight ground-breaking cultural producers in the fields of painting, aboriginal art, architecture, writing, theatre and music. The eight creative figures profiled in Made in British Columbia are not just distinguished artists who made an enduring mark on Canadian culture during the twentieth century. They are unique artists whose work is intimately interwoven with British Columbia’s identity. Emily Carr portrayed BC’s coastal landscape in a manner as unique as her lifestyle. Bill Reid’s carvings, jewellery and sculpture stand as a contemporary interpretation of his reclaimed Haida heritage. The name Francis Rattenbury is less known than The Empress Hotel in Victoria, one of many prominent BC buildings he designed, while Arthur Erickson’s modern architectural contributions are recognized worldwide. Martin Allerdale Grainger’s experience in the BC woods in the early days of hand-logging inspired him to write one of the undisputed classics of BC fiction, Woodsmen of the West. Jean Coulthard struggled for respect as a female composer during the 1920s and 1930s in British Columbia but eventually proved her extraordinary musical talents internationally. George Woodcock left Britain in 1949 to forge his career as an influential author, editor, mentor and tireless promoter of literary scholarship in the province, while playwright George Ryga, the son of Ukrainian immigrants, exposed the anguish and reality of life for Native women in our cities with his 1967 play, The Ecstasy of Rita Joe. Featuring images of the artists and their works, Made in British Columbia presents a history of the treasures found in our galleries, concert halls, theatres, museums, libraries and streetscapes, and explores the legacy of a cultural tradition as unique as the place that nurtured it.

Through Fire and over Water

By: Maria Krechowec

The book begins with the turmoil plaguing her family and relations in the Ukraine before and post-WWI, progressing into the chaos of four years of the Russian Civil War. Maria is born in a small village with the country under communist control. As a young girl, she suffered hunger and starvation in the Holodomor in 1933 in the Ukraine, a made famine authorised by Stalin. This was followed by the terror purges carried out by the NKVD. After a short period of peace came the German invasion and occupation. She was selected by the Germans for slave labour, where she was sent to Germany to work in an ammunition factory. She escaped to Magdeburg and lived in German society under an assumed name. Here she experience the horror of allied bombing and consequent firestorm. With the end of WWII, she was liberated by the Americans who handed her over to the Soviets. From the Eastern block, she escaped back to the West to meet up with her future husband. In the small German town of Goslar, she married, and in time, she had a son. For four years, the family lived in Germany as displaced people with the constant fear of being repatriated to the USSR. Eventually, New Zealand opened its door, and a month-long voyage by sea eventually landed the family in a strange land halfway around the world. Life in New Zealand presented its own problems to foreigners who had little to no understanding of the English language. But by hard work and much sacrifice, she achieved her goal of owning a house and a growing family.

Fallen Through The Cracks

By: Dalmaine Maria Pedro

Press your chin hard against your throat. Now turn your head to the left and lift your left shoulder until it touches your ear. Keep your chin against your throat, your left ear against your left shoulder, contract your neck and shoulder muscles as tightly as you can and hold it like that for the rest of your life. That’s right. Eat like that, brush your teeth like that, drive like that and keep your head like that when you go to sleep at night. This is what psychiatrists in South Africa did to me and they expect me to live like that for the rest of my life.

Renegades for Jesus

By: Maria Estelle Olivo

It was the year 2027 when the world was going through horrible times, and Jesus was observing everything from heaven. He came up with a perfect solution to fix it. Jesus turns to the Father and he says, "Father the world's problems are escalating and the people are more coldhearted. They are loving evil and hurting others because their love has diminished from their hearts. Many of them are committing heinous crimes and others are taking their lives because of the dilemmas of life pressure. The governments are becoming more corrupted. Do you see what the leader of Iran is planning to do? We must come up with an answer to the circumstances. We should select three souls to do our bidding on earth? What about these three?" "Yes, Son, let us select them. Matter of fact, we will call them the Renegades for Jesus." Meanwhile, the devil was observing everything that was happening on the earth, for people's hearts were wicked. Mother Nature was getting worse; therefore, he decides to come up with a plan of his own. His, son, Adam Bismarck was nearby him when he shares the plan. "You will disguise yourself as the savior of the world and make sure that everyone in the world takes the Mark of the Beast. I will assist you with the agenda.

Socioculturally Attuned Family Therapy

Guidelines for Equitable Theory and Practice

By: Teresa McDowell,Carmen Knudson-Martin,J. Maria Bermudez

Socioculturally Attuned Family Therapy, 2nd edition, is a fully updated and essential textbook that addresses the need for marriage and family therapists to engage in socially responsible practice by infusing diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout theory and clinical practice. Written accessibly by leaders in the field, this new edition explores why sociocultural attunement and equity matter, providing students and clinicians with integrative, equity-based family therapy guidelines and case illustrations that clinicians can apply to their practice. The authors integrate principles of societal context, power, and equity into the core concepts and practice of ten major family therapy models, such as structural family therapy, narrative family therapy, and Bowen family systems, with this new edition including a chapter on socio-emotional relationship therapy. Paying close attention to the "how to’s" of change processes, updates include the use of more diverse voices that describe the creative application of this framework, the use of reflexive questions that can be used in class, and further content on supervision. It shows how the authors have moved their thinking forward, such as in clinical thinking, change, and ethics infused in everyday practice from a third order perspective, and the limits and applicability of SCAFT as a transtheoretical, transnational approach. Fitting COAMFTE, CACREP, APA, and CSWE requirements for social justice and cultural diversity, this new edition is revised to include current cultural and societal changes, such as Black Lives Matter, other social movements, and environmental justice. It is an essential textbook for students of marriage, couple, and family therapy and important reading for family therapists, supervisors, counselors, and any practitioner wanting to apply a critical consciousness to their work.

State-Owned Entities and Human Rights

The Role of International Law

By: Mihaela Maria Barnes

The monograph focuses on the human rights challenges that are associated with the involvement of States in economic activities and on the role that international law has to play in addressing and understanding some of those challenges. State-owned entities are looked at through the lens of several topics of international law that have been found to hold particular relevance in this context, such as the concept of legal personality in international law, the process of normativity in international law, State immunity and State responsibility. The monograph shows how SOEs have had a significant role in shaping the evolution of international law and how, in turn, international law is currently shaping the evolution of State-owned entities. By focusing on State-owned or State-controlled business entities, rather than private corporations, the monograph aims to offer an alternative perspective on the challenges associated with corporations and human rights.
