The Secret History

A Novel of Empress Theodora

By: Stephanie Thornton

Where Theodora went, trouble followed…. In sixth-century Constantinople, one woman, Theodora, defied every convention and all the odds and rose from common theater tart to empress of a great kingdom, the most powerful woman the Roman Empire would ever know. The woman whose image was later immortalized in glittering mosaic was a scrappy, clever, conniving, flesh-and-blood woman full of sensuality and spirit whose real story is as surprising as any ever told…. After her father dies suddenly, Theodora and her sisters face starvation and a life on the streets. Determined to survive, Theodora makes a living any way she can—first on her back with every man who will have her, then on the stage in a scandalous dramatization of her own invention. When her daring performance grants her a backdoor entry into the halls of power, she seizes the chance to win a wealthy protector—only to face heartbreak and betrayal. Ever resilient, Theodora rises above such trials and, by a twist of fate, meets her most passionate admirer yet: the emperor’s nephew. She thrives as his confidant and courtesan, but many challenges lie ahead. For one day this man will hand her a crown. And all the empire will wonder—is she bold enough, shrewd enough, and strong enough to keep it? READERS GUIDE INCLUDED

Sing of Mary

Giving Voice to Marian Theology and Devotion

By: Stephanie A. Budwey

Throughout the history of Christianity, Mary has been a beacon of hope to many who look to her. While Christians have always prayed to Mary, they have also sung to her in times of joy and sorrow. Sing of Mary analyzes Marian hymnody throughout Christianity--and particularly in the Roman Catholic Church in the United States from 1854 to today--focusing not only on the texts and music but also on the contexts out of which these hymns came. By using a holistic methodology--drawing from anthropology, history, liturgy, musicology, psychology, sociology, and theology--this study takes an interdisciplinary approach toward studying Marian theology and devotion through the lens of hymnody. This volume, accessible to both laypeople and academics, provides readers with a clear and full understanding of Marian hymnody by looking at many examples throughout the history of Christianity up through the present, thus shedding light on the history of Marian devotion and theology. The work concludes by providing hope for the future of Marian congregational song, particularly by exploring how the Magnificat can help Marian congregational song be meaningful to a wide range of Christians.

Sleep and Dreams in Early Greek Thought

Presocratic and Hippocratic Approaches

By: Stephanie Holton

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Sleep and Dreams in Early Greek Thought

Presocratic and Hippocratic Approaches

By: Stephanie Holton

This book examines how sleep and dreams were approached in early Greek thought, highlighting the theories of the Presocratic and Hippocratic writers on both phenomena as more varied, complex, and substantial than is usually credited. It explores how the Presocratic natural philosophers and early Hippocratic medical writers developed theories which drew from wider investigations into physiology and psychology, the natural world and the self, while also engaging with wider literary depictions and established cultural beliefs. Although the focus is predominantly on Presocratic and Hippocratic ideas, this is not exclusive: attention is devoted from the outset to sleep and dreams in Homer and the mythic tradition, as well as to depictions across lyric, drama, and historiography. Sleep and Dreams in Early Greek Thought provides a fascinating study of this topic which will be of interest to students and scholars of ancient medicine and the history of science, Greek philosophy, and classical culture more broadly. It is accessible to students with or without knowledge of the classical languages, and also to anyone with a general interest in the beliefs of the classical world.

Evidence-Based Practice in Action: Comprehensive Strategies, Tools, and Tips From University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, Second Edition

By: Laura Cullen,Kirsten Hanrahan,Michele Farrington,Sharon Tucker,Stephanie Edmonds

“Building on extensive real-life experience with EBP, this expert team from University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics provides vital guidance to clinicians at the cutting edge of care improvement.” –Kathleen R. Stevens, EdD, MS, RN, ANEF, FAAN Castella Endowed Distinguished Professor School of Nursing and Institute for Integration of Medicine & Science (CTSA) University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio “This new edition is essential for all who want to deliver evidence-based care.

Buckwalter, PhD, RN, FAAN Professor Emerita, University of Iowa College of Nursing Distinguished Nurse Scientist in Aging, Reynolds Center Oklahoma University Health Sciences Center, College of Nursing “Evidence-Based Practice in Action, Second Edition, will continue to ensure high-quality, evidence-based care is implemented in healthcare systems across the country — and the world. It should also be a well-worn tool in every implementation scientist’s toolkit. –Heather Schacht Reisinger, PhD Professor, Department of Internal Medicine Associate Director for Engagement, Integration and Implementation Institute for Clinical and Translational Science, University of Iowa Translate knowledge, research, and clinical expertise into action. The biggest barrier to effective evidence-based practice (EBP) is the failure to effectively translate available knowledge, research, and clinical expertise into action. This failure is rarely due to lack of information, understanding, or experience. In fact, it usually comes down to a simple lack of tools and absence of a clear plan to integrate EBP into care. Problem solved: Evidence-Based Practice in Action, Second Edition, is a time-tested, application-oriented EBP resource for any EBP process model and is organized based on The Iowa Model Revised: Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Excellence in Health Care. This book offers a proven, detailed plan to help nurses and healthcare professionals promote and achieve EBP implementation, adoption, sustained use.

Modeling Spatial and Economic Impacts of Disasters

By: Yasuhide Okuyama,Stephanie E. Chang

This book brings together a collection of innovative papers on strategies for analyzing the spatial and economic impacts of disasters. Natural and human-induced disasters pose several challenges for conventional modeling. For example, disasters entail complex linkages between the natural, built, and socio-economic environments. They often create chaos and economic disequilibrium, and can also cause unexpected long-term, structural changes. Dynamic interactions among agents and behavioral adjustments in a disaster become complicated. The papers in this volume make notable progress in tackling these challenges through refinements of conventional methods, as well as new modeling frameworks and multidisciplinary, integrative strategies. The papers also provide case study applications that afford new insights on disaster processes and loss reduction strategies.

Rethinking the Politics of Labour in Canada, 2nd ed.

By: Stephanie Ross,Larry Savage

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to re-establish the labour movement’s political capacity to exert collective power in ways that foster greater opportunity and equality for working-class people has taken on a greater sense of urgency. Understanding the strategic political possibilities and challenges facing the Canadian labour movement at this important moment in history is the central concern of this second edition of Rethinking the Politics of Labour in Canada. With new and revised essays by established and emerging scholars from a wide range of disciplines, this edited collection assesses the past, present and uncertain future of Canadian labour politics in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bringing together the traditional electoral-based aspects of labour politics with analyses of newer and rediscovered forms of working-class organization and social movement-influenced strategies, which have become increasingly important in the Canadian labour movement, this book seeks to take stock of these new forms of labour politics, understand their emergence and assess their potential impact on the future of labour in Canada.

The Necessary Evil of Preventive Detention in the War on Terror

A Plan for a More Moderate and Sustainable Solution

By: Stephanie Cooper Blum

This book explores the underlying rationales for preventive detention as a tool in this war on terror; analyzes the legal obstacles to creating a preventive detention regime; discusses how Israel and Britain have dealt with incapacitation and interrogation of terrorists; and compares several alternative ideas to the administration's enemy combatant policy under a methodology that looks at questions of lawfulness, the balance between liberty and security, and institutional efficiency. In the end, this book recommends using the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to monitor a narrow regime of preventive detention only to be used under certain prescribed circumstances where interrogation and/or incapacitation are the justifications. This book is an essential reference for collections in American studies, political science, and national security studies."--BOOK JACKET.

Tarsila Do Amaral

Inventing Modern Art in Brazil

By: Stephanie D'Alessandro,Luis Pérez Oramas

An exploration of the innovative, quintessentially Brazilian painter who merged modernism with the brilliant energy and culture of her homeland Tarsila do Amaral (1886-1973) was a central figure at the genesis of modern art in her native Brazil, and her influence reverberates throughout 20th- and 21st-century art. Although relatively little-known outside Latin America, her work deserves to be understood and admired by a wide contemporary audience. This publication establishes her rich background in European modernism, which included associations in Paris with artists Fernand Léger and Constantin Brancusi, dealer Ambroise Vollard, and poet Blaise Cendrars. Tarsila (as she is known affectionately in Brazil) synthesized avant-garde aesthetics with Brazilian subjects, creating stylized, exaggerated figures and landscapes inspired by her native country that were powerful emblems of the Brazilian modernist project known as Antropofagía. Featuring a selection of Tarsila's major paintings, this important volume conveys her vital role in the emerging modern-art scene of Brazil, the community of artists and writers (including poets Oswald de Andrade and Mário de Andrade) with whom she explored and developed a Brazilian modernism, and how she was subsequently embraced as a national cultural icon. At the same time, an analysis of Tarsila's legacy questions traditional perceptions of the 20th-century art world and asserts the significant role that Tarsila and others in Latin America had in shaping the global trajectory of modernism.

Armies and State-building in the Modern Middle East

Politics, Nationalism and Military Reform

By: Stephanie Cronin

The uprisings of 2011, which erupted so unexpectedly and spread across the Middle East, once again propelled the armies of the region to the centre of the political stage. Throughout the region, the experience of the first decade of the twenty-first century provides ample reason to re-examine Middle Eastern armies and the historical context which produced them. By adding an historical understanding to a contemporary political analysis, Stephanie Cronin examines the structures and activities of Middle Eastern armies and their role in state- and empire-building. Focusing on Iran, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia, Armies, Tribes and States in the Middle East presents a clear and concise analysis of the nature of armies and the differing guises military reform has taken throughout the region. Covering the region from the birth of modern armies there in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, to the military revolutions of the 1950s and 60s and on to the twenty-first century army-building exercises seen in Iraq and Afghanistan, Cronin provides a unique and vital presentation of the role of the military in the modern Middle East.

Hollywood Kisses

6 Reel-Life Romances

By: Shelley K Wall,Evan Purcell,Juliet McCarthy,Stephanie Cage,J. Arlene Culiner,Anne Bourne

A value-priced romance collection filled with nostalgic appeal for fans of beloved romantic comedy movies ranging from You’ve Got Mail to Dirty Dancing. Did you swoon when Tom Cruise passionately serenaded his flight instructor with a “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling”? Did your heart swell when Patrick Swayze growled “Nobody puts Baby in the corner”? Then grab a box of popcorn and settle in for these bigger-than-life romances sure to remind you of those fan favorite ’80s and ’90s blockbusters. Blue Moon: Just like Tom Hanks in Splash, Gabriel Rayner rescues a beautiful, drowning mermaid, but this beauty is searching for a champion to fight an evil warlord and save her people, a la Clash of the Titans. But if they fall in love, Gabe will be enslaved to the Merfolk for eternity. In a clash of culture shock and heat, Gabriel and Ephyra battle those odds, but will they have to sacrifice their love to save her life? Text Me: Abigail Jeffries gets a random text from a stranger only to discover the sender, Carter Coben, isn’t so strange after all. In a madcap, modern-day version of You’ve Got Mail, she’s caught up in a game of assumed identities with the same gorgeous guy she got fired from his job. Will they ever manage to sort out their mixed signals, mistaken identities, and misunderstandings to find real love? Waking Up to Love: Fans of While You Were Sleeping will love this debut tale! When Scott McInney’s mom gets a slight case of amnesia, he convinces Ramona, the identical twin sister of his runaway wife, to step into her heels. Ramona reluctantly agrees to help out, but when the pretending gets too real, will Scott figure out that he might have married the wrong twin? Love Above All: The last thing pediatrician Susan Ryan wants is to get involved with arrogant test pilot Major Martin Bennett. Forewarned about fighter pilots in general and Martin in particular, she nevertheless finds herself increasingly attracted to the man, Top Gun style. But a broken engagement has left her cautious and mistrustful of men—how can she avoid becoming just another statistic in the amorous pilot’s logbook? Perfect Partners: London’s latest hit dance competition television show throws Lisa Darby and Redmond Carrington into each other’s arms. The problem? They’re former flames who aren’t looking for a repeat performance, but a little Dirty Dancing is inevitable when old feelings come flooding back. Can they stay in step with their goals and ahead of their past? The Turkish Affair: Anne Pierson was a top-notch Washington journalist until scandal sent her hiding out in backwoods Turkey. She’s working as a translator near the ancient Hittite site of Karakuyu, determined to keep her past a secret…until American archaeologist Renaud Townsend arrives, searching for the culprit behind stolen artifacts. A Raiders of the Lost Ark-style search could lead to a second chance at love, if they are bold enough to meet the challenge. Sensuality Level: Sensual

The New Harvard Guide to Women’s Health

By: Karen J. Carlson M.D.,Stephanie A. Eisenstat M.D.,Terra Ziporyn Ph.D.

With the publication in 1996 of The Harvard Guide to Women's Health, women seeking answers to questions about their health had access to the combined expertise of physicians from three of the world's most prestigious medical institutions: Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Brigham and Women's Hospital. With complete information on women's health concerns, physical and behavioral, this A to Z reference quickly became a definitive resource, praised especially for its coverage of topics not previously considered under the umbrella of women's health. The New Harvard Guide to Women's Health reunites the authors to bring a valued health reference up to date for a new generation--and for those women who have come to rely on the Harvard Guide and are now wondering what to do about their health as they enter a new stage of life, asking questions like the following: I've been on hormone replacement therapy. Should I stop? How? Could this rash be lupus? I've been on the Pill. What is my risk for stroke? Fat is bad, fat is good: What should I believe? And what's left to eat? When does ordinary worry become chronic anxiety? What screening tests do I need now? In addition to revised recommendations reflecting the current medical thinking on menopause and hormone replacement therapy, the New Harvard Guide includes updated recommendations about cardiac health and heart disease--the #1 killer of women in the United States entries reflecting recent advances in the understanding and treatment of autoimmune diseases better coverage of health concerns throughout a woman's life span, from her first period to menopause and beyond, with a new entry on perimenopause expanded nutritional recommendations, including a unique chart of the U.S. government's Daily Reference Intakes for micronutrients, broken down for teens and women whose needs may differ because they are pregnant, breastfeeding, or postmenopausal updated information on over-the-counter medications, prescription drugs, procedures, screenings, and diagnostic tests

Legacy Letters

True Memoirs of Love, Marriage, Family, and the Hopeful Journey through Betrayal and Loss

By: Stephanie Livingston

After thirty-five years of journaling her true accounts of love and marriage, and the joys of life experiences with family members, Stephanie Livingston came to a crisis that led her to question everything. She asked herself who she was and what she wanted to be when she arrived at the other side of the great chasm of loss and pain that she was confronting. She also wondered when the hurt and pain would end, and how she could sort through the mess that the turbulent storm that had found her had left behind. Also, why had God allowed her to go through such a trial? At times, we’re all faced with the uncomfortable new place of being alone and the fears that come from life’s losses and changes. But by questioning everything, reflecting on her past, and speaking to her younger self, the author was able to find healing while discovering deeper truths. Join the author as she shares the lessons she learned on her journey—and open your heart to the depths that may still envelop the mysteries of the secret self.
