Grace & Power

The Private World of the Kennedy White House

By: Sally Bedell Smith

Unlike so many other books, Grace and Power rejects gossip and conspiracy theory to tell the story of John and Jackie’s three years in the White House soberly, comprehensively and sensitively, from beginning to sudden end. Sally Bedell Smith’s book on John and Jackie Kennedy was hailed by authoritative reviewers on both sides of the Atlantic as the most distinguished and well-written book on a perennially fascinating subject for years. In the US the hardback was high on the New York Times bestseller list for weeks. It is an immensely poignant chronicle of pivotal historical events seen from the inside out, from within the private home of the President and First Lady. Amidst the superficial opulence of their social circle, we see the Cuban Missile Crisis and the burgeoning American civil rights movement from the perspective of an invalid president often barely well enough to appear in public. Together with his young wife, abandoned by her husband’s relentless womanising, nevertheless changed the politics and style of America. Grace and Power is the classic account of that time.

In All His Glory

The Life and Times of William S. Paley and the Birth of Modern Broadcasting

By: Sally Bedell Smith

“He is to American broadcasting as Carnegie was to steel, Ford to automobiles, Luce to publishing, and Ruth to baseball,” wrote The New York Times of William S. Paley—the man who built CBS, the “Tiffany Network.” Sally Bedell Smith’s In All His Glory takes a hard look at Paley and the perfect world he created for himself, revealing the extraordinary complexity of the man who let nothing get in the way of his vast ambitions. Tracing his life from Chicago, where Paley was born to a family of cigar makers, to the glamorous haunts of Manhattan, Smith shows us the shrewd, demanding egoist, the hedonist pursuing every form of pleasure, the corporate strongman famous for his energy and ruthlessness. Drawing on highly placed CBS sources and hundreds of interviews, and with a supporting cast of such glittering figures as Truman Capote, Slim Keith, Jock Whitney, Ted Turner, David Sarnoff, Brooke Astor and a parade of Paley’s humiliated heirs, In All His Glory is a richly textured story of business, power and social ambition. Praise for In All His Glory “A sweeping study of the emergence of broadcasting, the American immigrant experience, and the ravenous personal and professional tastes of Paley as he charmed and clawed his way to the top of society.”—Los Angeles Times “Riveting…packed with revelations, rich in radio and TV lore, sprinkled with intrigues, glitz, and wheeling and dealing at the highest levels of media and government.”—Publishers Weekly “An impressive, meticulously researched work of broadcast history as well as a piquant glimpse inside CBS’s corporate culture.”—Time

A Dark Rose

Love in Eudora Welty's Stories and Novels

By: Sally Wolff

From the heartbroken protagonist she depicted in her first published story, "Death of a Traveling Salesman," to the reflective widow she described in her last novel, The Optimist's Daughter, Eudora Welty wrote realistically about the shadows and radiance of love. In a meticulous exploration of this theme, Sally Wolff combines new readings of Welty's fiction with contextual information and background drawn from a nineteen-year friendship with Welty. A common image in much of Welty's fiction, the rose has traditionally symbolized love in literature. Wolff argues that the dark rose-from the height of its brilliance to the end of its life-serves as an apt metaphor for the dichotomies Welty presents, equally suggestive of beauty and sadness, as well as the comic, tragic, and mysterious qualities of love. While some of Welty's characters seem autobiographical-a daughter remembering her parents' marriage or a broodingly hopeful member of a large family wedding-at times Welty analyzes from a distance the dynamics of successful and troubled loving relationships. Although Welty experienced love several times during her life, she never married, and Wolff argues that this vantage point allowed Welty to write from an objective perspective in her fiction about the varied dimensions of love. A Dark Rose explores several texts to examine Welty's nuanced and intricate portrayals of love. Though love in Welty's fiction fails, wears thin, and even faces death-it remains a vital force in her characters' lives.

George Eliot and Nineteenth-Century Science

The Make-Believe of a Beginning

By: Sally Shuttleworth

This study explores the ways in which George Eliot's involvement with contemporary scientific theory affected the evolution of her fiction. Drawing on the work of such theorists as Comte, Spencer, Lewes, Bain, Carpenter, von Hartmann and Bernard, Dr Shuttleworth shows how, as Eliot moved from Adam Bede to Daniel Deronda, her conception of a conservative, static and hierarchical model of society gave way to a more dynamic model of social and psychological life.

Political Gender

Texts & Contexts

By: Sally Ledger,Josephine McDonagh,Jane Spencer

In recent years, feminist scholars, through their insistence on the key role of gender in critical analysis, have brought about a profound revitalization of literary and cultural studies. This text draws together work by leading exponents in the field. The essays explore the operations of gender in the production of knowledge and the formation of cultural representations in a wide variety of contexts, from German romantic poetry to the literature of AIDS, from Victorian ethnography to tabloid constructions of race. All of the essays engage in problems of representation, intervening in current debates in critical theory.

Post-translational modification and regulation of oxophytodienoate reductase 3 (OPR3) (Band 14)

By: Sally Victoria Weiss

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Post-translational modification and regulation of oxophytodienoate reductase 3 (OPR3) (Band 14)

By: Sally Victoria Weiss

Oxophytodienoic acid reductases (OPRs) are flavoenzymes closely related to Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE) from Saccharomyces. The physiological role of plant OPRs could only be clarified for OPR3: OPR3 from tomato and Arabidopsis reduce the double bond of the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group of (9S,13S)-oxophytodienoic acid (OPDA), the precursor of the phytohormone jasmonic acid (JA). OPR3 is therefore an important step for JA biosynthesis and the following JA-triggered defensive and developmental adaptations of the plant. Since the production of phytohormones, including JA, is regulated in an extremely time- and tissue specific manner, the regulatory step of JA-biosynthesis was sought. The conversion of OPDA by OPR3 was proposed as the rate-limiting step in biosynthesis as OPR3 turned out to form a self-inhibiting dimer when crystallized. In the OPR3 crystal, the L6-loop from each protomer reaches into the active site cavity of the other protomer. The dimerization-dependent block of the active site provides a hypothetical mechanism for the regulation of OPR3 activity. Interestingly, two sulfate ions were enclosed in the interacting site of the protomers, suggesting that the dimer might be stabilized in vivo by reversible sulfation or phosphorylation of the tyrosine 364(SlOPR3) or 365 (AtOPR3), respectively. The role of this hypothesized sulfation/phosphorylation was subject of this study. Neither sulfation nor phosphorylation of Y365 could be detected by mass spectrometry. Hence, studies were continued with an in vitro approach where OPR3 was expressed with sulfotyrosine incorporated co-translationally at position 365 (Y365SY). Biochemical characterization led to contradictory results: On the one hand, interaction strength of Y365SY was unaltered in comparison to wild-type OPR3, while on the other hand, activity of Y365SY was reduced. Closer examination indicated that substrate binding or product release was reduced in Y365SY. These changes could be traced back to the additional charge of the SO42—ion, which leads to a narrowing of the entrance to the active site cavity. With this finding, the proposed regulating mechanism by sulfation/phosphorylation is still valid, but independent from dimerization. In order to link this potential regulatory mechanism with a post-translational modification in vivo, an untargeted screen was performed, in which OPR3 was expressed as a fusion protein with a promiscous biotin ligase (BioID2). With this method, potentially interacting proteins were biotinylated in vivo and subsequently isolated and analyzed by MS/MS. Many candidate proteins were identified for OPR3, including kinases and phosphatases. Additionally, OPR1, OPR2 and OPR4 from Arabidopsis were also expressed as BioID2 fusion proteins in order to clarify their physiological role. The most promising results were obtained for OPR4, which was found to be association with stress granule and P-body proteins.

A Class Analysis

By: John Rex,Sally Tomlinson,David Hearnden,Peter Ratcliffe

Colonial Immigrants in a British City (1979) analyses the relationship between West Indian and Asian immigrants and the class structure of a British city. Based on a four-year research project in the Handsworth area of Birmingham, the book is a study of race and community relations – political, social, economic and personal – in a major centre of immigrant settlement. It considers the relationship between housing class and class formations and consciousness in other sectors of allocation, such as employment and education. It includes a consideration of the changing political climate on race relations between 1950 and 1976.

Civil Sociality

Children, Sport, and Cultural Policy in Denmark

By: Sally Anderson

Sally Anderson's book on sport, cultural policy, and “civil sociality” in Denmark has been a long time in coming, but it's well worth the wait. Based on many years of familiarity with Danish society, and countless hours of intensive fieldwork, Dr. Anderson provides us with a unique anthropological perspective on the process by which state cultural policy actively engages civil society in a quest to shape social relations in the public sphere. The particular domain of policy and social activity is nonschool, voluntary sport, in its various forms. By definition, of course, such activity takes place outside the regular Danish school curriculum, but it is not for this reason any less "educational." Indeed, although it is very broadly attended and institutionalized, perhaps because Danish after-school sport is not compulsory, it is all the more compelling for children and youth, and therefore more powerful in certain ways. Indeed, Dr. Anderson has a signal talent for showing us how afterschool sport in Denmark both transmits and produces social knowledge, and powerfully shapes social relations.

The Man Who Sank Titanic

The Troubled Life of Quartermaster Robert Hichens

By: Sally Nilsson

Robert Hichens has gone down in history as the man who was given the famous order to steer the Titanic away from the iceberg and failed. Following this, his falling out with the 'Unsinkable Molly Brown' over the actions of the lifeboats saw him branded a coward and his name indelibly tarnished. A key witness at both UK and British Inquiries, Robert returned to a livelihood where fellow crewmen considered him jinxed. But Robert had a long career and was a hardworking, ambitious seaman. A fisherman at 19, he quickly became a junior officer in the merchant navy and in 1910 was part of a remarkable salvage operation to re-float a 13,000 tonne liner. In the Second World War he was part of a cargo ship convoy on route to Africa where his ship dodged mines, U-boats and enemy aircraft. To Robert, being at sea was everything but the dark memories of the Titanic were never far away and in 1933 a failed murder attempt after a bitter feud nearly cost Robert his life. Here Robert's great-granddaughter Sally Nilsson seeks to set the record straight and reveal the true character of the man her family knew. This is one man's story of survival, betrayal and determination.

The City in the Developing World

By: Robert B. Potter,Sally Lloyd-Evans

The City in the Developing World is a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to urbanisation in developing countries. The goal of this text is to place an understanding of the developing world city in its wider global context. First, this is done by developing the concept of social surplus product as a key to understanding the character of the contemporary Third World city. Second, throughout this text, the city in developing areas is centrally placed in the context of global, social, economic, political and cultural change. Thus, the important themes of globalisation, modernity and postmodernity are examined both in relation to the structure of sets of towns and cities which make up the national or regional urban system, and in respect of ideas and concepts dealing with the morphology, structure and social patterning of individual urban areas. The City in the Developing World is a core text for second and third year undergraduates in the fields of geography, development studies, planning, economics and the social sciences, taking options which deal with development issues, development theory, gender and development and Third World development.

Dancing Women

Female Bodies Onstage

By: Sally Banes

Dancing Women: Female Bodies Onstage is a spectacular and timely contribution to dance history, recasting canonical dance since the early nineteenth century in terms of a feminist perspective. Setting the creation of specific dances in socio-political and cultural contexts, Sally Banes shows that choreographers have created representations of women that are shaped by - and that in part shape - society's continuing debates about sexuality and female identity. Broad in its scope and compelling in its argument Dancing Women: * provides a series of re-readings of the canon, from Romantic and Russian Imperial ballet to contemporary ballet and modern dance * investigates the gaps between plot and performance that create sexual and gendered meanings * examines how women's agency is created in dance through aspects of choreographic structure and style * analyzes a range of women's images - including brides, mistresses, mothers, sisters, witches, wraiths, enchanted princesses, peasants, revolutionaries, cowgirls, scientists, and athletes - as well as the creation of various women's communities on the dance stage * suggests approaches to issues of gender in postmodern dance Using an interpretive strategy different from that of other feminist dance historians, who have stressed either victimization or celebration of women, Banes finds a much more complex range of cultural representations of gender identities.

But with tourist season only months away, he and his sister, Fern, are up against the clock—and the wet, gray winter in the Pacific Northwest. The last thing he needs is a beautiful, high-maintenance movie star and the pack of paparazzi following her to get in his way. Forest is as gruff as Domino is sweet, but it’s soon clear they’re not as polar opposite as they seem, and the attraction sizzling between them becomes impossible to ignore. Sparks fly, passions flare, and Domino begins to realize this charming little island—and its inhabitants—are imprinted on her soul. With Domino's producing partners breathing down her neck, she’s got to work fast—not just to save her career but because the longer she stays, the more she doesn't want to leave. For the first time in her life, she feels like she's home. But time's running short, and they're gambling with their dreams. Will winning everything bring them together? Or will it tear them apart? This is book 1 in the Wildflower Romance series. Each can be read as a complete standalone. HEA guaranteed!

Chaos Uncreated

A Reassessment of the Theme of "chaos" in the Hebrew Bible

By: Rebecca Sally Watson

This monograph presents a challenge to the view that the Hebrew Bible contains allusions to Yahweh's battle with chaos, showing how the term has been inappropriately applied in a range of contexts where far more diverse spheres of imagery should instead be recognised. Through the construction of a careful diachronic model (developed with particular reference to the Psalter), the author presents a persuasive case for reversing common assumptions about the development of Israelite religion, finding instead that the combat motif was absent in the earliest period, whilst the slaying of a dragon was attributed to Yahweh only in a distinctive monotheistic adaptation, which arose from around 587 B.C.

The Fallen Angel

Chastity, Class, and Women's Reading, 1835-1880

By: Sally Mitchell

Discusses the figure of the unchaste woman in a wide range of fiction written between 1835 and 1880, including serious novels by Dickens, Mrs. Gaskell, and George Eliot; popular novels that provided light reading for middle-class women; sensational fiction; propaganda for social reform; and stories in cheap periodicals which reached a different and far wider audience than either serious or popular novels. During these years, some women were struggling to become women, instead of the angels of purity that sentimental morality had made of them. The sexual woman, the whore, the mistress, the runaway wife, the seduced or fallen innocent, all attracted a cluster of ideas about the differences between women and men, about the power structure in sexual relationships, and about women's place in the social and moral world. In considering these topics, this book traces women and illuminates differences in the fiction writer for different social classes. -- Publisher description

Colonizing Hawai'i

The Cultural Power of Law

Colonizing Hawai'i

The Cultural Power of Law

By: Sally Engle Merry

How does law transform family, sexuality, and community in the fractured social world characteristic of the colonizing process? The law was a cornerstone of the so-called civilizing process of nineteenth-century colonialism. It was simultaneously a means of transformation and a marker of the seductive idea of civilization. Sally Engle Merry reveals how, in Hawai'i, indigenous Hawaiian law was displaced by a transplanted Anglo-American law as global movements of capitalism, Christianity, and imperialism swept across the islands. The new law brought novel systems of courts, prisons, and conceptions of discipline and dramatically changed the marriage patterns, work lives, and sexual conduct of the indigenous people of Hawai'i.

Feminist Aesthetics in Music

Feminist Aesthetics in Music

By: Sally Macarthur

Is there such a thing as women's music? Do women write and listen to music differently than men do? While recognizing that the differences among women are as distinct as the differences between genders, this bold new study examines gender's influence on music. The author's unique analytical strategy shows, in its application to actual musical compositions, that there is a fluid relationship between the music and the analyst, between the text and the context, and that 20th-century music is inextricably bound to notions of gender that transcend aesthetics. Much of the work on women's music to date has failed to deal critically with the actual compositions, settling instead for more biographical or sociological approaches. In this respect, this work fills an important void. Using many concrete examples and careful analyses of the work of such undervalued composers as Alma Mahler-Werfel, Anne Boyd, and Moya Henderson, it grounds the abstract firmly, and fascinatingly, in the practical.
