John Banister of Newport

The Life and Accounts of a Colonial Merchant

By: Marian Mathison Desrosiers

Merchant John Banister (1707-1767) of Newport, Rhode Island, wore many hats: exporter, importer, wholesaler, retailer, money-lender, extender of credit and insurer, owner and outfitter of sailing vessels, and ship builder for the slave trade. His recently discovered accounting records reveal his role in transforming colonial trade in mid-18th century America. He combined business acumen and a strong work ethic with knowledge of the law and new technologies. Through his maritime activities and real estate development, he was a rain-maker for artisans, workers and producers, contributing to income opportunities for businesswomen, freemen and slaves. Drawing on Banister's meticulous daybooks, ledgers, letters and receipts, the author analyzes his contribution to the economic history of colonial America, highlighting the complexity of the commerce of the era.

FORRESTER ROAD

THE WINSTON-BARNETT SAGA

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

FORRESTER ROAD

THE WINSTON-BARNETT SAGA

By: Marian Miller Liles

Forrester Road is the first standalone book in the Winston/Barnett saga. When Faith Barnett climbed the steps of the caboose on Chuck Winston's freight train, it was the first time she ever set foot outside Wilke County. Stowing away with Chuck would get her to college, but school would not prepare her for the difficulties of the adult world. As Texas and the whole nation were plunged into the globe's first world war, a more insidious and destructive enemy sneaked into town with one of the returning soldiers. The deadly La Grippe, otherwise known as the Spanish Flu, spread around the world like a dark cloud, leaving few households untouched. A lesser war raged in Faith's heart as Gabriel Hamilton weakened her resolve to devote her life to her career as an old-maid school teacher. Faith's discovery that the adult world contained people perfectly willing to betray friends shocked her but seemed trivial when she met Gabe's scheming and manipulative Uncle Horace. If you love history, you will love meeting the families along Forrester Road. Unlike British royalty, many Texans acquired their property through Spanish Land Grants, but the struggles and interaction between the characters is as rich with the intrigue of the times as the storyline of Downton Abby.

Light on Water

A Visionary Young Adult Novel

By: Marian Miller

In an ordinary midwestern town lives a very extraordinary child. Evalyn is a little black girl who responds instinctively to pain and since her earliest memory has been able to heal others. At six years old, Evalyn heals the brave, blond, blue-eyed Christopher, and from that moment their lives are entwined. Christopher is dedicated to protecting Evalyn and keeping her secret at all costs. Convinced that even the most ordinary person has untapped potential, Evalyn tests her convictions by teaching Christopher to unleash his power by using concepts that have been practiced by mystics for centuries, concepts that are as natural to her as breathing. The story unfolds with the sweetness of innocence, explores the loyalty of true friendship, survives the angst of adolescence, and discovers the heated passion of young adulthood. Hotly pursued by powerful government agencies and forced to flee to the Alaskan wilderness, they learn to magnify the power that lies deep within. This exciting visionary novel demonstrates that every human being is a powerhouse of light, energy, and love.

Managing Innovation in the Arts

Managing Innovation in the Arts

Making Art Work

By: Marian Fitzgibbon

A main justification for public funding of the arts is to protect the arts from the marketplace and to encourage experimentation and innovation. But little is known about the actual innovation process. Is funding the only issue? Protecting the arts from the marketplace has up to now been the main item in any discussion of artistic creativity. This publication of Fitzgibbons carefully researched investigation provides a privileged insight which both fills out and refocuses the picture. She examines the operation of three performing arts companies from Ireland, a country whose reputation for creativity bears little relation to its small size and population, and finds that innovation in the arts requires uncommon dedication, persistence and-yes-sacrifice, qualities that have been blurred by the 'mythology' of what makes for artistic innovation. She studies the social and organizational context of most arts work today, with emphasis on the effort that goes into the achievement of innovation, and comes away with a new vocabulary and grammar for managing it. Innovation in the arts is an arduous, stressful process, as it is in all areas of high achievement, but the perception most people have of it is misinformed, says Fitzgibbon. Creativity management is confused with what is commonly known as creative management. She shows it is possible to identify a number of factors that bear heavily on innovation in arts organizations. So far the first study of the management of arts innovation specifically, Fitzgibbon's work offers a privileged and pragmatic insight into the workings of highly innovative arts organizations. The result is a graphic analysis that strips innovation down to its essentials and begins to answer vital questions. This work is essential reading for arts policy makers, managers, administrators and those who would be donors, and for serious students of arts and culture management in the academic community.

Wild Irish Women

Extraordinary Lives from History

By: Marian Broderick

From patriots to pirates, warriors to writers, and mistresses to male impersonators, this book looks at the unorthodox lives of inspiring Irish women. In times when women were expected to marry and have children, they travelled the world and sought out adventures; in times when women were expected to be seen and not heard, they spoke out in loud voices against oppression; in times when women were expected to have no interest in politics, literature, art, or the world outside the home, they used every creative means available to give expression to their thoughts, ideas and beliefs. In a series of succinct and often amusing biographies, Marian Broderick tells the life stories of these exceptional Irish women.

An Ethnographic Study into the Social Organisation of a Small Medium Enterprise a Snapshot from 1983 to 2009

By: Frances Marian Ryder

Because of their uniqueness, there cannot ever be enough literature on the organisational life of the Small-Medium Enterprise and its employees, wherever their location and whoever they serve. These legal entities contain an extensive array of social interactions as people form teams, work groups and relationships with others, within the confines of the operational environment and their own personal experience of everyday working life. This book is about one such limited company and one individual who helped to form the SME which remained commercially successful in the engineering sector for over 30 years. The working life of the employees in the SME were researched using an ethnographic approach to frame the social and working interactions into Ceremonial Rites. These rites have already been successfully researched by others and the book adds to that body of work. In the book some rites repeat in a similar manner as has already been discovered. The more modern-day organisations may be able to recognise similar emerging or continuing patterns themselves that were found within the results of the study. Other students now have the opportunity to update and extend this work further in their own qualitative research on Small-Medium Enterprises or Organisational Life.

Family Mediation: Contemporary Issues

Family Mediation: Contemporary Issues

By: Marian Roberts,Maria Federica Moscati

The modern emergence of mediation in the West in the 1980s represents a profound transformation of civil disputing practice, particularly in the field of family justice. In the field of family disputes mediation has emerged to fill a gap which none of the existing services, lawyers and courts on the one hand, or welfare, advisory or therapeutic interventions on the other, could in their nature have filled. In the UK mediation is now the approved pathway in the current landscape of family dispute resolution processes, officially endorsed and publicly funded by government to provide separating and divorcing families with the opportunity to resolve their disputes co-operatively with less acrimony, delay and cost than the traditional competitive litigation and court process. The consolidation of the professional practice of family mediation reflects its progress and creativity in respect both of the expanding focus on professional quality assurance as well as on developments of policy, practice guidelines and training to address central concerns about the role of children in mediation, screening for domestic abuse, sexual orientation and gender identity as well as cross-cultural issues including the role of interpreters in the process. Other areas of innovation include the application of family mediation to a growing range of family conflict situations involving, for example, international family disputes (including cross border, relocation and child abduction issues). Written by leaders in family mediation, this title provides a contemporary account of current practice developments and research concerning family mediation across a range of issues in the UK and Ireland.

Knowledge

Is Knowledge Power?

By: Marian Adolf,Nico Stehr

As we move through our modern world, the phenomenon we call knowledge is always involved. Whether we talk of know-how, technology, innovation, politics or education, it is the concept of knowledge that ties them all together. But despite its ubiquity as a modern trope we seldom encounter knowledge in itself. How is it produced, where does it reside, and who owns it? Is knowledge always beneficial, will we know all there is to know at some point in the future, and does knowledge really equal power? This book pursues an original approach to this concept that seems to define so many aspects of modern societies. It explores the topic from a distinctly sociological perspective, and traces the many ways that knowledge is woven into the very fabric of modern society.

Silver Bough Volume 3

By: F. Marian McNeill

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Silver Bough Volume 3

By: F. Marian McNeill

The Silver Bough is an indispensable treasury of Scottish culture, universally acknowledged as a classic of literature. The author, F Marian McNeill, succeeded in capturing and bringing to life many traditions and customs of old before they died out or were influenced by the modern era. The Silver Branch of the sacred apple tree, laden with crystal blossoms of golden fruit, is in Celtic mythology the equivalent of the Golden Bough of classical mythology - the symbolic bond between the world we know and the Otherworld.In the first volume of the Silver Bough, the author deals generally with Scottish folk-lore and folk belief, with chapters on ethnic origins, the Druids, the Celtic gods, the slow transition to Christianity, magic, the fairy faith, second sight, selkies, changelings and the witch cult. In volume two she began her more in-depth exploration of the foundations of many of these beliefs and rituals through the Calendar of Scottish national festivals, in which we find enshrined many of the fascinating folk customs of our ancestors. This third volume continues that study by looking at the Festivals from Hallow'en to Yule tide. As man makes greater and greater advances in the understanding and control of his physical environment, the river between the known and the unknown gradually changes its course, and the subjects of the simpler beliefs of former times become part of the new territory of knowledge. The Silver Bough maps out the old course of the waterway that in Celtic belief winds between here and beyond, and reveals the very roots of the Scottish people's distinctive customs and way of life. The Silver Bough is a large and important work which involved many years of research into both living and recorded lore. Its genesis lies, perhaps, in the author's subconscious need to reconcile the old primitive world she had glimpsed in childhood with the sophisticated modern world she later entered. "e;I do not believe that you can exaggerate the importance of the preservation of old ways and customs, and all those little things which bind a man to his native place. Today we live in difficult times. The steam-roller of progress is flattening out many of our old institutions, and there is a danger of a general decline in idiom and distinctive quality in our Scottish life. The only way to counteract this peril is to preserve jealously all these elder things which are bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh. For, remember, no man can face the future with courage and confidence unless it is solidly founded upon the past. And conversely, no problem will be too hard, no situation too strange, if we can link it with what we know and love"e; F Marian McNeill

Come, Lord Jesus, Be Our Guest

Adventures in Hospitality

By: Marian Korth

Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest." And he came-as a homeless man, a stranger, a friend. Marian Korth and her partner, Mim Jacobson, have served breakfast to thousands of overnight guests in their home, but they didn't bother to offer a cup of coffee to a homeless man huddling on their doorstep one cold winter morning. Why didn't they welcome this "Jesus" into their home? Marian has more to learn about hospitality, even after sixty years of adventures in hospitality. She can tell stories about being hospitable (or not) from: - Growing up on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin - Living in Chicago for twenty years - Returning to Wisconsin and turning their farmhouse into a bed and breakfast - Providing end-of-life care for guests who live with Marian and Mim in their home - Transforming their bed and breakfast into a spiritual retreat center Kindness is the common thread that runs through all these adventures in hospitality. The first verse Marian memorized as a child was Ephesians 4:32, "Be ye kind, one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." (She memorized it and still thinks about it in the King James Version.) In these stories, Marian reflects on what God is telling her about being hospitable. She thinks it's pretty exciting to know that God has told us, "Be ready with a meal or a bed when it's needed. Why, some have extended hospitality to angels without ever knowing it!" (Hebrews 13:2 The Message)

African American Women in the News

Gender, Race, and Class in Journalism

By: Marian Meyers

African American Women in the News offers the first in-depth examination of the varied representations of Black women in American journalism, from analyses of coverage of domestic abuse and "crack mothers" to exploration of new media coverage of Michelle Obama on Youtube. Marian Meyers interrogates the complex and often contradictory images of African American women in news media through detailed studies of national and local news, the mainstream and Black press, and traditional news outlets as well as newer digital platforms. She argues that previous studies of African Americans and the news have largely ignored the representations of women as distinct from men, and the ways in which socioeconomic class can be a determining factor in how Black women are portrayed in the news. Meyers also proposes that a pattern of paternalistic racism, as distinct from the "modern" racism found in previous studies of news coverage of African Americans, is more likely to characterize the media's treatment of African American women. Drawing on critical cultural studies and black feminist theory concerning representation and the intersectionality of gender, race and class, Meyers goes beyond the cultural myths and stereotypes of African American women to provide an updated portrayal of Black women today. African American Women in the News is ideal for courses on African American studies, American studies, journalism studies, media studies, sociology studies, women’s studies and for professional journalists and students of journalism who seek to improve the diversity and sensitivity of their journalistic practice.
