Word and Deed

By: Rachel Rossano

(a short story loosely set in the medieval era) Death or an arranged marriage, Verity refuses to accept the choices. Verity Favian's father dies unexpectedly. Her half-brother, Verdon, lays claim to all their father left behind: title, castle, and her. Verdon cannot touch the land set aside for her dowry so he offers her hand for sale to the highest bidder. Lord Silvanticus, a man renowned for his military power and close ties to the king, makes the winning bid. Despite the rumors of Silvanticus' madness and cruelty, Verdon accepts. Verdon locks her away in a tower. She is not sure if he seeks to prevent her from fleeing the marriage or spreading the truth only she seems willing to speak: Verdon killed their father. Either way, her time is running out.

A History of the Theatre Costume Business

Creators of Character

By: Triffin I. Morris,Gregory DL Morris,Rachel E. Pollock

A History of the Theatre Costume Business is the first-ever comprehensive book on the subject, as related by award-winning actors and designers, and first hand by the drapers, tailors, and craftspeople who make the clothes that dazzle on stage. Readers will learn why stage clothes are made today, by whom, and how. They will also learn how today’s shops and ateliers arose from the shops and makers who founded the business. This never-before-told story shows that there is as much drama behind the scenes as there is in the performance: famous actors relate their intimate experiences in the fitting room, the glories of gorgeous costumes, and the mortification when things go wrong, while the costume makers explain how famous shows were created with toil, tears, and sweat, and sometimes even a little blood. This is history told by the people who were present at the creation – some of whom are no longer around to tell their own story. Based on original research and first-hand reporting, A History of the Theatre Costume Business is written for theatre professionals: actors, directors, producers, costume makers, and designers. It is also an excellent resource for all theatregoers who have marveled at the gorgeous dresses and fanciful costumes that create the magic on stage, as well as for the next generation of drapers and designers.

Gypsy

The Art of the Tease

By: Rachel Shteir

A true icon of America at a turning point in its history, Gypsy Rose Lee was the firstand the onlystripper to become a household name, write novels, and win the adulation of intellectuals, bankers, socialites, and ordinary Americans. Her outrageous blend of funny-smart sex symbol with the aura of high cultureshe boasted that she liked to read Great Books and listen to classical music while taking off her clothes on-stageinspired a musical, memoirs, a portrait by Max Ernst, and a species of rose. Gypsy is the first book about Gypsy Rose Lees life, fame, and place in America not written by a family member, and it reveals her deep impact on the social and cultural transformations taking shape during her life. Rachel Shteir, author of the prize-winning Striptease, gives us Gypsys story from her arrival in New York in 1931 to her sojourns in Hollywood, her friendships and rivalries with writers and artists, the Sondheim musical, family memoirs that retold her history in divergent ways, and a television biopic currently in the making. With verve, audacity, and native guile, Gypsy Rose Lee moved striptease from the margins of American life to Broadway, Hollywood, and Main Street. Gypsy tells how she did it, and why.

The Late Medieval Origins of the Modern Novel

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Late Medieval Origins of the Modern Novel

By: Rachel A. Kent

Dramatically refreshing the age-old debate about the novel's origins and purpose, Kent traces the origin of the modern novel to a late medieval fascination with the wounded, and often eroticized, body of Christ. A wide range of texts help to illustrate this discovery, ranging from medieval 'Pietàs' to Thomas Hardy to contemporary literary theory.

Temporalising Anthropology

Archaeology in the Talensi Tong Hills, Northern Ghana

By: Timothy Insoll,Rachel MacLean,Benjamin Kankpeyeng

This volume contains the results of significant fieldwork completed in the Tong Hills of Northern Ghana, an area currently inhabited by the Talensi ethno-linguistic group. Although made anthropologically renowned by the anthropologist Meyer Fortes, the archaeology and material culture of the Talensi Tong Hills had largely been neglected until the research initiated by the authors. Extensive archaeological surveys and excavations were completed allied with ethnoarchaeological and ethnobotanical research on shrines, sacrifice, and indigenous medicine. The data is presented and described, and a settlement chronology for the region reconstructed. The results of the geological, organic geochemical, petrographic, and archaeometallurgical analysis are provided. The function of shrines and the meaning of 'shrine' as a concept are evaluated, and indigenous medicinal practices, their links with shrines, and their substances, materiality, and archaeological implications assessed with reference to the primary empirical material gathered. Ritual, performance, and its inter-relation with the past and the archaeological record are also considered so as to question the 'timelessness' of previous anthropological presentations. The Tong Hills are also discussed with reference to their place in the wider history and archaeology of the region. This book will be useful to anyone interested in the archaeology and anthropology of African indigenous religions and ritual practices, as well as those interested in West African history, and the relationship between archaeology and anthropology.

Lyme Disease and the SS Elbrus

By: Rachel Verdon

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Lyme Disease and the SS Elbrus

By: Rachel Verdon

In a quest to uncover the origin of Lyme disease, the author zeroed in on Russia's fur shipping industry and its New York brokerage, AMTORG Trading Company. FBI mole, Robert Hanssen was simultaneously assigned to monitor AMTORG in Project Pocketwatch under the Clinton Administration overseeing the Russian Counter Intelligence Desk. Verdon's FBI FOIAs were stonewalled a dozen years, greatly impeding her research; other files simply vanished. Unbeknownst to the author at that time, spy Hanssen had forked over some 60,000 pages to the Russians, many originals. AMTORG's founder, Russia's most favored fur dealer, Armand Hammer, hired accountant Arthur Andersen to head his new oil venture, Occidental Petroleum. Together, Ken Lay (Nixon's Undersecretary of Energy and future CEO of ENRON), Andersen, and Hammer ushered in a new Detente with Russia and Red China. For the privilege of the US Export Import Bank subsidizing Oxy's Siberian gas pipeline, Hammer would be obliged to make illegal campaign contributions funneled to the Watergate burglars. Had the history of the USSR's biological warfare program been destroyed to preserve Detente and placate Hammer, or worse, cover up a terrorist network? Forced to seek a historical witness to the Soviet-Nazi collaboration in dispersing tick borne diseases of the nervous system, I.G. Farben's chemist, Henry Tolkmith, fit the bill. Recruited under Operation Paperclip for DOW Chemical as a pesticide/poison gas specialist, most likely Tolkmith was protected under the 100 Person's Act. Tolkmith's real identity became suspect when perusing his WW II files. Conflicting physical descriptions, simultaneous sightings in the USA and USSR and double entry to the States raised alarms. Was Tolkmith the infamous Death Angel of Auschwitz, Josef Mengele, an expert in Lyme, Multiple Sclerosis and poison gases? Interviewed, Tolkmith denied his dossier photos were of himself and conveniently died. Had Josef's brother, Karl, been uncovered in the Brazilian grave at Sao Paulo? Had these two look-a-likes been switched at birth and switched at death? The Brazilian Mengele held ties to Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie of ODESSA, a drug and arms dealer serving a network of international terrorists and the mujaheddin. Arthur Andersen's new client, ENRON, had hired dope-peddling terrorists, al Qaeda, to guard its Afghan pipeline. Poppy-field potheads are a pathetic, fickle army against Communism. The FBI could not keep track of these terrorists at home or abroad, its mole was busy at work. Just after spy Hanssen's arrest on February 17, 2001, Attorney General Ashcroft created the Strategic Management Council, headed by Arthur Andersen to re-organize the antiquated FBI, soon to be followed by the attack on 9/11. A month later, ENRON imploded, 26 trunk loads of files were shredded. Did Arthur Andersen pick up where Hanssen left off? The man who can solve the mystery of Lyme Disease and the SS Elbrus as well as ENRON and 9/11 may well be the FBI's top mole, Robert Hanssen.
