Eastham

By: Marilyn C. Schofield,Roberta Cornish

Eastham, known as the land of the first light, is an ever-changing place. Although Europeans began visiting these shores early in the 1600s, the area's first inhabitants lived here over seven thousand years ago. In 1620, Mayflower passengers and crew had their first encounter with the Nawsett Indians over the theft of corn. From the mid-1800s to the 1960s, sails were replaced by engines. The discovery of oil ended the whaling industry for Eastham captains, and wide-scale farming and tourism became the backbone of Eastham's economy. Eastham chronicles the challenges, successes, and personal strengths of the town of Eastham as it evolved with time.

Sing Witch, Sing Death

By: Roberta Gellis

Lady Pamela was the paid companion of the Countess St. Just, a difficult woman. But on the wild Cornish coast where violent storms raged, Pamela sensed great danger at the Tremaire estate. One danger was her attraction to St. Just, but almost as strong was her fear that someone in the secluded mansion was marked for death.

Tales from Bush Graves

By: Anne Alloway,Roberta Morrison

It will never be known just how many men, women and children have died and lie buried in the bush. Many of the deaths were not registered, and they are known only because the local paper reported on them. It was not the selector who lost his life, but usually men who had no idea how harsh the country could be, and consequently took risks by walking between stations looking for work, most times with very little water, and not much idea of where they were going. Many of the men were suffering from alcohol related problems. Most deaths were caused by fever, accidents, suicide, and murder. The women followed their men, enduring the harsh conditions and sometimes not seeing another white woman for years. They died during child birth, usually the baby died as well. Young children succumbed to the harsh conditions, dying of convulsions, poisoning, and accidents.

The Discursive Construction of Identity and Space Among Mobile People

The Discursive Construction of Identity and Space Among Mobile People

By: Roberta Piazza

This book offers a close look at the discourse of and around three socially marginalised and vulnerable groups – Irish Travellers, Squatters and Homeless people – in order to understand more about how individuals within them position themselves vis-à-vis mainstream society. It investigates the groups' diverse and provisional relationship with space that challenges mainstream society's spatial logic. Given that the relationship between mobility, space and identity has been explored in migrant contexts, Roberta Piazza proposes a reconsideration of this relationship beyond people's movement from one place to another. Investigating the space-identity nexus among the three groups, she highlights how mobility is not solely a cross-country phenomenon, but a no-less crucial and dramatic reality within an individual nation. Based on close linguistic analysis of interviews collected over many years, Piazza investigates how the participants construct their social and personal identities when talking about themselves and the sites they inhabit, drawing on the concepts of 'heterotopia' and non-sexual desire.

Bodmin, 1349

An Epic Novel of Christians and Jews in the Plague Years

By: Roberta Kalechofsky

... an amazing work" -- Cynthia Ozick "Bodmin, 1349 is a masterful work. Language here is a powerful and highly original cognitive instrument, surpassing Eco's The Name of the Rose." -- Mario Materassi Here is history with human faces in the characters of Will, a peasant from York, and his wife, Miriam, rumored to be Jewish, a "leftover" from the expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290, who becomes a picaresque heroine through whom the events for the Black Death on the continent are told. The novel is passionate and witty as it interweaves existing documents from the times, charters and chronicles, monastic life and town life, the rectory and the brothel, with fantasy, vision, and lyricism. It is a compelling work of the religious and historical imagination.

FEMME TALES

Six Short Sagas and One Long Story

By: Roberta Parry

FEMME TALES: Six Short Sagas and One Long Story is a playful, irreverent, sometimes camp re-vision of seven of the Grimm’s tales. “Little Red Riding Hood” becomes “Little Red Jogging Suit,” wherein a sparky girl and her spunky grandmother take on a wolf in sheep’s clothing, only to fi nd themselves victims of the legal/judicial system. In “Hannah and Greggo,” closet-cousins of “Hansel and Gretel,” a savvy big sister saves her innocent little brother from the clutches of a wicked warlock. Other rightings-of-the-record include: “The Toad Prince or The Dog Princess or Hopeless Henry,” “Sungold and the Seven Midgets,” “AshesAngie,” “Sweeping Beauty,” and “Ms. Fisherwoman and Spouse,” illegitimate offspring of “The Frog King,” “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” “Cinderella,” “Sleeping Beauty,” and “The Fisherman and His Wife.” May you read with a laugh--and a nod, Parry invites.

I hope that this book will take you on a journey through some of the history of New Orleans along with examples of our coulter that some people may not always agree with but they have worked for us for over hundred's of years. I understand when most people think of New Orleans all people think of is Bourbon Street or believing everything that they might hear about the city. I promise you that we are not all bars, strip joints or street hustlers. Yes we are just like any other city we have good parts and not so good parts and there are times to visit both.

Tales from Bush Graves – Cloncurry

A Study of Bush Grave Sites in Western Queensland

By: Anne Alloway,Roberta Morrison,Greg Humphrey

There are many lonely graves and isolated cemeteries scattered throughout the North Western area of Queensland. This book represents only a small gathering of information from a cross-section of outback inhabitants. Northwest Queensland is a very hard, harsh, rugged part of Australia, which has a strange beauty about it. Rocks and Spinifex surround the hills and valleys, with wide open plains and rivers. With fast cars and wide open roads the modern traveller can be forgiven for forgetting the days of the coach routes, and bush tracks that crisscrossed the country. The lonely miners and bush men who opened up much of this beautiful country and the black men who fought to keep the white man out often died and were buried in isolation, with few records accurately kept of their burials. There were literally hundreds of graves in Northwest Queensland some are virtually non-existent after many years of weathering and neglect, almost all lost in history, time and memories. The stories of their passing will be lost if it is not recorded. With the availability of modern technology people don’t have to face the hardships of their forebears who opened up the outback of Australia, faced droughts, floods, fires and being attacked by the local indigenous tribes. Here is a short history of some of those people who travelled the West and didn’t survive. Greg Humphrey

The Problem of the Spiteful Spiritualist

By: Roberta Rogow

The creators of Sherlock Holmes and Alice in Wonderland unite to solve a sea captain’s murder in a historical mystery “that will appeal to Anne Perry fans” (Booklist). The reverend Charles Dodgson comes to Portsmouth hoping for rest, relaxation, and a few days’ peace in the company of his friend Arthur Conan Doyle, physician and aspiring author of mysteries. But within a minute of their reunion, Doyle is talking about murder. One of his patients, a gout-ridden ex-sailor, has dropped dead in his study, and Doyle is not convinced by the coroner’s verdict of natural causes. Besides being the author of Alice in Wonderland, Dodgson is a renowned mathematician, and Doyle begs him to use his deductive brilliance to find the man who snuffed out the old sea dog. When an Indian raja arrives to accuse the dead man of stealing treasures from India, a local mystic volunteers to help unravel the case. Doyle and Dodgson are wary of taking help from a psychic, but they will soon find that it may take more than logic to solve this case.
