Spirit and Dust

Meditations for Women with Depression

By: Maura Hanrahan

Does depression affect women more often and more severely than men? Author Maura Hanrahan, who has suffered from serious depression for many years, would never say that. What she would, and does, say in Spirit and Dust is that depression affects women in different ways and from different causes and with different effects than it does men. She directs this beautiful book of meditations directly at women who suffer from long-term or chronic depression. Each short meditation deals with one aspect or another of depression in women, from how many women are programmed toward depression as little girls to how a husband or parent or support group can help (or hinder) a woman in dealing with her depression. This is not for the woman who is occasionally melancholy or discouraged. Nor is it for the faint of heart, for the author tells about serious depression the way it is. The book offers no easy cures, yet it is hopeful and helpful. Each meditation is accompanied by a quote or verse from a wom

A Veritable Scoff

Sources on Foodways and Nutrition in Newfoundland and Labrador

By: Maura Hanrahan,Marg Ewtushik

A Veritable Scoff presents summaries of 170 writings on Newfoundland and Labrador foodways and nutrition for the past several centuries. Is the popularity of boiled dinner--salt beef or pork with root crops--on the wane? Why do the Innu of Davis Inlet call Social Services "the food boss"? How prevalent was beriberi in pre-Confederation Newfoundland? What are dietitians and food scientists in the province concerned about now? The only book of its kind in Canada, this bibliography answers these questions and asks others that are equally compelling.

Politics in Ireland

Convergence and Divergence in a Two-Polity Island

By: Maura Adshead,Jonathan Tonge

Politics in Ireland is the first major text to provide an accessible and systematic analysis of the politics of Ireland: North as well as South. With the development of a new Northern Irish political system and increasing links across the island, the authors argue that the time is ripe to study together the two polities, which share so much of a common history but which have had very different evolutions through the 20th century. Drawing upon an exceptionally wide range of sources and their own original research, the authors deploy a thematic approach to the study of political institutions, political behaviour and public policy in both the Republic and Northern Ireland in order to produce a detailed, but highly readable, assessment of governance and politics in both political systems. This approach enables them both to outline the differences and similarities between the polities and to explain how they relate to the wider world, in particular to the UK and to Europe.

John Lydgate and the Making of Public Culture

John Lydgate and the Making of Public Culture

By: Maura Nolan

Inspired by the example of his predecessors Chaucer and Gower, John Lydgate articulated in his poetry, prose and translations many of the most serious political questions of his day. In the fifteenth century Lydgate was the most famous poet in England, filling commissions for the court, the aristocracy, and the guilds. He wrote for an elite London readership that was historically very small, but that saw itself as dominating the cultural life of the nation. Thus the new literary forms and modes developed by Lydgate and his contemporaries helped shape the development of English public culture in the fifteenth century. Maura Nolan offers a major re-interpretation of Lydgate's work and of his central role in the developing literary culture of his time. Moreover, she provides a wholly new perspective on Lydgate's relationship to Chaucer, as he followed Chaucerian traditions while creating innovative new ways of addressing the public.

Unchained Man

The Arctic Life and Times of Captain Robert Abram Bartlett

By: Maura Hanrahan

Across the barren ice field of the Arctic Ocean, two men strode 700 miles towards Siberia on a near-impossible rescue mission to save those they'd left behind--crew of the Karluk who'd been stranded after pack ice crushed and sank their ship. One of the men walking for help in 1913 was the legendary Robert Bartlett, captain of the Karluk, who four years earlier navigated the Arctic for Robert Peary's disputed achievement at reaching the North Pole. He made over 50 voyages to the Arctic and was only at peace in the ice fields. Bartlett's heroics are so celebrated that the man himself has been obscured by mythology and myth-making. Based on archival research in three countries, Unchained Man is a biography of Robert Bartlett, one of the central figures in international polar exploration and Arctic history."--

Domino

The Eskimo Coast Disaster

By: Maura Hanrahan

Domino tells a compelling tale that was almost lost: the true story of a deadly hurricane that devastated Labrador's Eskimo Coast in the fall of 1885. Fishermen and their families on their way home from a hard summer's work were caught in the fierce winds and waves. Sixty-six ships were wrecked and over seventy people died, many of them women and children. And the after-effects of the completely unexpected storm were more far-reaching than anyone could imagine.

The Alphabet Fleet

The Pride of the Newfoundland Coastal Service

By: Maura Hanrahan

In 1898 a political firestorm surrounded the creation of Newfoundland's Alphabet Fleet. But before long these coastal boats became a beloved part of the fabric of life in Newfoundland and Labrador. These ships carried bright-eyed young teachers to their first outport assignments. They brought wedding dresses to excited brides and Christmas parcels and letters to eager hands. They carried people home from city hospitals and the dead to be buried in family plots. Through crew and passenger recollections, this book brings the Alphabet Fleet to life. It also vividly describes the heroics and disasters associated with these legendary vessels.
