Grant Wood's Secrets

By: Sue Taylor

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Incorporating copious archival research and original close readings of American artist Grant Wood’s iconic as well as lesser-known works, Grant Wood’s Secrets reveals how his sometimes anguished psychology was shaped by his close relationship with his mother and how he channeled his lifelong oedipal guilt into his art. Presenting Wood’s abortive autobiography "Return from Bohemia" for the first time ever, Sue Taylor integrates the artist’s own recollections into interpretations of his art. As Wood dressed in overalls and boasted about his beloved Midwest, he consciously engaged in regionalist strategies, performing a farmer masquerade of sorts. In doing so, he also posed as conventionally masculine, hiding his homosexuality from his rural community. Thus, he came to experience himself as a double man. This book conveys the very real threats under which Wood lived and pays tribute to his resourceful responses, which were often duplicitous and have baffled art historians who typically take them at face value.

Chinese in the Woods

Logging and Lumbering in the American West

By: Sue Fawn Chung

Though recognized for their work in the mining and railroad industries, the Chinese also played a critical role in the nineteenth-century lumber trade. Sue Fawn Chung continues her acclaimed examination of the impact of Chinese immigrants on the American West by bringing to life the tensions, towns, and lumber camps of the Sierra Nevada during a boom period of economic expansion. Chinese workers labored as woodcutters and flume-herders, lumberjacks and loggers. Exploding the myth of the Chinese as a docile and cheap labor army, Chung shows Chinese laborers earned wages similar to those of non-Asians. Men working as camp cooks, among other jobs, could make even more. At the same time, she draws on archives and archaeology to reconstruct everyday existence, offering evocative portraits of camp living, small town life, personal and work relationships, and the production and technical aspects of a dangerous trade. Chung also explores how Chinese used the legal system to win property and wage rights and how economic and technological change ultimately diminished Chinese participation in the lumber industry. Eye-opening and meticulous, Chinese in the Woods rewrites an important chapter in the history of labor and the American West.

By: Sue Reed,Ginny Stibolt

Based on decades of the authors' experience, this book is packed with simple, practical steps anyone can take to beautify any landscape or garden, while helping protect the planet and the species that call it home.

The Tudors on Film and Television

By: Sue Parrill,William B. Robison

With its mix of family drama, sex and violence, Britain's Tudor dynasty (1485-1603) has long excited the interest of filmmakers and moviegoers. Since the birth of movie-making technology, the lives and times of kings Henry VII, Henry VIII, and Edward VI and queens Mary I, Jane Grey and Elizabeth I have remained popular cinematic themes. From 1895's The Execution of Mary Stuart to 2011's Anonymous, this comprehensive filmography chronicles every known movie about the Tudor era, including feature films; made-for-television films, mini-series, and series; documentaries; animated films; and shorts. From royal biographies to period pieces to modern movies with flashbacks or time travel, this work reveals how these films both convey the attitudes of Tudor times and reflect the era in which they were made.

Developmental Juvenile Osteology

By: Craig Cunningham,Louise Scheuer,Sue Black

Developmental Juvenile Osteology was created as a core reference text to document the development of the entire human skeleton from early embryonic life to adulthood. In the period since its first publication there has been a resurgence of interest in the developing skeleton, and the second edition of Developmental Juvenile Osteology incorporates much of the key literature that has been published in the intervening time. The main core of the text persists by describing each individual component of the human skeleton from its embryological origin through to its final adult form. This systematic approach has been shown to assist the processes of both identification and age estimation and acts as a core source for the basic understanding of normal human skeletal development. In addition to this core, new sections have been added where there have been significant advances in the field. - Identifies every component of the juvenile skeleton, by providing a detailed analysis of development and ageing and a detailed description of each bone in four ways: adult bone, early development, ossification and practical notes - New chapters and updated sections covering the dentition, age estimation in the living and bone histology - An updated bibliography documenting the research literature that has contributed to the field over the past15 years since the publication of the first edition - Heavily illustrated, including new additions

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Rethinking the Victim

Gender and Violence in Contemporary Australian Women's Writing

By: Anne Brewster,Sue Kossew

This book is the first to examine gender and violence in Australian literature. It argues that literary texts by Australian women writers offer unique ways of understanding the social problem of gendered violence, bringing this often private and suppressed issue into the public sphere. It draws on the international field of violence studies to investigate how Australian women writers challenge the victim paradigm and figure women’s agencies. In doing so, it provides a theoretical context for the increasing number of contemporary literary works by Australian women writers that directly address gendered violence, an issue that has taken on urgent social and political currency. By analysing Australian women’s literary representations of gendered violence, this book rethinks victimhood and agency, particularly from a feminist perspective. One of its major innovations is that it examines mainstream Australian women’s writing alongside that of Indigenous and minoritised women. In doing so it provides insights into the interconnectedness of Australia’s diverse settler, Indigenous and diasporic histories in chapters that examine intimate partner violence, violence against Indigenous women and girls, family violence and violence against children, and the war and political violence.

Sniper on the Ypres Salient

An Infantrymans War In The Royal Welsh Fusiliers

By: Sue Boase

Just after midnight on 22 April 1916 on the Western Front, a sergeant from the 15th (1st London) Royal Welsh Fusiliers came sliding and stumbling along the dark, mud-filled trench towards the four men, huddled together and soaked-through, in the shallow dugout. He was clutching his postbag in which there were four parcels for one of them, William McCrae, whose twentieth birthday fell on this day. A hand-written account by William, my grandfather, was found in my mothers papers, long after his death. This book describes a year of his time fighting in the First World War, from December 1915 to December 1916. Two months after his birthday, he was marching towards the Somme, where he was to act as a runner during the key Welsh engagement in the Battle of Mametz Wood. Later, he went on to volunteer and train as a sniper. He continued in this role for over a year, becoming a lance corporal in the 38th Divisional Sniping Company while fighting on the Ypres Salient. His words emphasise the key role snipers played in the collecting of intelligence about the enemy, through close observation and careful reporting. His account stops abruptly in mid-sentence, just at the point where he indicates he is about to reveal more to us about a new, interesting part of the line to be manned by us Snipers. Piecing together clues from his sketches, maps and photos, and this book paints a picture of Williams time during the rest of the war. In 1917 he returned to England to train as a temporary officer in the 18th Officer Cadet Battalion at Prior Park, Bath. He came back to the Western Front as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Duke of Wellingtons (West Riding) Regiment, where he was seconded to the 1/5 Lancashire Fusiliers until the end of the war. During this time, it is likely that his interest and experience as a sniper continued, with evidence that he may have taught at one of the Sniping Schools set up across France.

The Best Life

A City Girl Thrives in the Jungle

By: Sue Westrum

The good life" - a commonly used phrase - touts the satisfaction found in certain kinds of shoes, vinyl siding for your house, soft drinks, and even cigars. Sue not only challenges the reader with a realistic understanding of the good life but through interesting and convicting stories of how God worked in the life of a city girl - changing and molding her to begin to reflect His image and in the lives of the Berik people of Indonesian New Guinea, calling those He chose in eternity past to glorify and worship Him. Sue enables the reader to understand The Best Life, a life of healing and forgiveness, experiencing God's peace and knowing His joy. God gave Sue and her husband the distinct privilege of watching Him and having Him work through them to change a jungle society. She relates how God loved and prepared her to fulfill His plans for her, even using shattering childhood events and a man of the jungle to teach her. God implanted in her attributes that enabled her to thrive in situations for which she felt inadequate, situations that are 180 degrees different from her life before Peter. Through exciting and powerful eyewitness accounts, she leads the reader, showing how God used four academic disciplines anthropology, linguistics, literacy, and translation - to impact a formerly unreached people group and to give them the New Testament in their own language. Sue raises these questions: "Was it worth it to leave my own culture to struggle in another culture, to risk the lives of our children with tropical disease, to suffer through the agony of exotic illnesses like malaria and dengue fever, to live with all of God's creatures in our house, to be separated from family and lifelong friends - not even being there when Peter's dad passed away? Is it really worth it to trust in Jesus, to surrender to Him, to commit to following Him, to obey Him, to thank Him - no matter what?" Answering these questions is what this book is all about, challenging you whether you are young or old, male or female, are seeking to know Jesus or are searching for His will and plan for you to find and accept The Best Life.

The Ivory Carver Trilogy

Mother Earth Father Sky, My Sister the Moon, and Brother Wind

By: Sue Harrison

Now in one volume, the sweeping Native American trilogy set at the dawn of human civilization in Alaska, from an international-bestselling author. Following the lives of three incredible Aleut women in prehistoric Alaska, the Ivory Carver Trilogy has been hailed as “more successful than Clan of the Cave Bear” by the Washington Post Book World and “moving and credible” by the New York Times Book Review. Now, experience all three insightful and touching novels in this one epic volume. Mother Earth Father Sky: After her tribe is slaughtered, a young woman, Chagak, is left alone to care for her infant brother. With nothing left to lose, she sets out on a dangerous quest for survival—and revenge—among the icy waters, vicious enemies, and frozen tundra of Alaska. My Sister the Moon: Kiin has been betrothed to the son of the tribal chief since birth, but her heart belongs to his brother. When she is suddenly taken from her people, hardships, love, and chance will change Kiin—and ultimately lead her to a new destiny. Brother Wind: Finally content with her hard-won life, Kiin is devastated when she’s thrust back into the nightmares of her past. Across the land, Kukutux, the wife of a Whale Hunter, faces starvation and hostility when she finds herself widowed. As their paths converge, the two women must find the strength in their hearts to withstand the cruelties of man, nature, and fate. Filled with impeccable research and extraordinary characters, the Ivory Carver Trilogy is an unforgettable, must-read saga of family, love, survival, and history.

The Woodworker's Handbook

A Complete Course for Craftsmen, Do-it-yourselfers and Hobbyists

By: Sue Newton

The book covers every aspect of working with wood that anyone could reasonably expect to encounter, from how to knock in a nail without bending it, to cutting a secret haunched mortise and tenon. Dozens of carefully devised illustrated sequences reduce even difficult joint construction to a simple step-by-step approach. It offers a challenging set of woodworking projects, and a reference section classifies all the world's most useful woodworking timbers, with descriptions of their technical properties.
