Honey in My Blood

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

PAPERBACK INCLUDES FREE DOWNLOAD OF THE KINDLE EBOOK Susan Blanshard's poetic narrative is a literary love story of deep abiding love, sexual desire, sensuality and creative art. Impressions of love and life are given through use of extended figurative language. More literary weight is given to thoughts - her impressions are born from the surrounding context which provides the reader with a sense of love and art that has been 'processed' by the mind through the heart. And vice-versa. Where a definable border exists between memoir and literary prose, Susan Blanshard crosses the boarder with her literature. While prose writers concentrate mainly on sense, some crossover authors have experimented with prose that utilized sound and image: Baudelaire, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Apollinaire, Elliot, Rilke, Borges, Solzhenitsyn, Williams. Blanshard uses exquisite prose for the communication of feeling. In a sense she images on the reader's mind. Through shades of language, she allows us to see into the poet's life. She uses "impressionism" in prose; her literary style is characterized by the use of details and mental associations to evoke subjective and sensory impressions rather than a re-creation of objective reality. When you let the lines of the narrative blur, they reveal meaning on a deeper level; the whole world of two, a love for life and a life for love.She does not achieve this by photographs or description of techniques: she simply draws us in through her prose. Confessional and reflective. It is Susan Blanshard's ineffable heart that feels, and paints the phrase, or words, onto the window of the psyche.

Freethinkers

A History of American Secularism

By: Susan Jacoby

An authoritative history of the vital role of secularist thinkers and activists in the United States, from a writer of "fierce intelligence and nimble, unfettered imagination" (The New York Times) At a time when the separation of church and state is under attack as never before, Freethinkers offers a powerful defense of the secularist heritage that gave Americans the first government in the world founded not on the authority of religion but on the bedrock of human reason. In impassioned, elegant prose, celebrated author Susan Jacoby paints a striking portrait of more than two hundred years of secularist activism, beginning with the fierce debate over the omission of God from the Constitution. Moving from nineteenth-century abolitionism and suffragism through the twentieth century's civil liberties, civil rights, and feminist movements, Freethinkers illuminates the neglected accomplishments of secularists who, allied with liberal and tolerant religious believers, have stood at the forefront of the battle for reforms opposed by reactionary forces in the past and today. Rich with such iconic figures as Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Clarence Darrow—as well as once-famous secularists such as Robert Green Ingersoll, "the Great Agnostic"—Freethinkers restores to history generations of dedicated humanists. It is they, Jacoby shows, who have led the struggle to uphold the combination of secular government and religious liberty that is the glory of the American system.

Philosophy of Logics

Philosophy of Logics

By: Susan Haack

The first systematic exposition of all the central topics in the philosophy of logic, Susan Haack's book has established an international reputation (translated into five languages) for its accessibility, clarity, conciseness, orderliness, and range as well as for its thorough scholarship and careful analyses. Haack discusses the scope and purpose of logic, validity, truth-functions, quantification and ontology, names, descriptions, truth, truth-bearers, the set-theoretical and semantic paradoxes, and modality. She also explores the motivations for a whole range of non-classical systems of logic, including many-valued logics, fuzzy logic, moddal and tense logics, and relevance logics. Persupposing only an elementary knowledge of formal logic, this book includes many useful summary tables and diagrams, as well as a helpful glossary of technical terms. Wide-ranging, informative, and eminently readable, this book has proven a valuable resource for generations of students and scholars in a variety of disciplines outside philosophy needing guidance on the philosophy of logic.

Experiencing Philosophy – Second Edition

By: Anthony Falikowski,Susan Mills

Experiencing Philosophy begins with the assumption that philosophy is not merely something you know, but also something you experience and participate in. The book presents philosophical theories and ideas with reference to their practical relevance to the lives of student readers. To this end, a number of engaging features and inserts are provided: • Original Sources: Numerous primary readings are included, introducing students directly to the philosophical work of diverse thinkers ranging from Plato to Martin Luther King Jr. Each reading is thoughtfully excerpted and is followed by reflective questions. • Philosopher Profiles: Abstract ideas are connected to the lives of real historical figures through fascinating biographical profiles. • Take It Personally: To illustrate how philosophy can be useful and relevant, each chapter begins by placing the material in a personal context. • Know Thyself Diagnostics: This book takes seriously—as did Socrates—the Delphic Oracle’s dictum to “know thyself.” Students are given self-diagnostics to explore their own philosophical values, ideals, and beliefs. • Philosophers in Action: Philosophy is something you do, not just something you know. Prompts are provided throughout the text inviting students to conduct thought experiments, analyze concepts, and discuss and debate controversial points. • Thinking about Your Thinking: These “metacognitive prompts” require students to engage in higher-order thinking, not only about the presented readings and ideas, but also with respect to their own values, assumptions, and beliefs. • Plus: Built-in study guides, diagrams, famous philosophical quotations, comics, feature boxes, and more!

Home on the Strange

Chronicles of Motherhood, Mayhem, and Matters of the Heart

By: Susan Lundy

A funny, heart-warming ode to motherhood written by an award-winning journalist and humour columnist. For Susan Lundy, motherhood began when she moved into her boyfriend's Salt Spring Island home at the age of twenty-one. Her new living arrangement came with furniture, a pair of kids, and a biting gerbil named Quasimodo. Susan was a career-oriented budding journalist, eager to write her way to fame and fortune. Becoming a mom was not part of her plan—at least not yet. But after surveying her new domicile with quiet horror at first, she grew into her new role, discarding many of the lessons her mother had given her about keeping house and inventing her own rules as she went along. By the time her two daughters were born, Susan had already fallen deeply in love with motherhood. Moreover, she chronicled her family's topsy-turvy Gulf Island life in a collection of popular newspaper and magazine columns. Home on the Strange follows Susan's journey from pregnancy to parenthood, career milestones to birds-and-bees talks, separation to new love at mid-life, and cross-country road trips to empty nesting during a global pandemic. Charming, poignant, and frequently hilarious, this is the perfect book for mothers or moms-to-be at any stage of their journey.

Race and Citizen Identity in the Classical Athenian Democracy

Race and Citizen Identity in the Classical Athenian Democracy

By: Susan Lape

In Race and Citizen Identity in the Classical Athenian Democracy, Susan Lape demonstrates how a race ideology grounded citizen identity. Although this ideology did not manifest itself in a fully developed race myth, its study offers insight into the causes and conditions that can give rise to race and racisms in both modern and pre-modern cultures. In the Athenian context, racial citizenship emerged because it both defined and justified those who were entitled to share in the political, symbolic, and socioeconomic goods of Athenian citizenship. By investigating Athenian law, drama, and citizenship practices, this study shows how citizen identity worked in practice to consolidate national unity and to account for past Athenian achievements. It also considers how Athenian identity narratives fuelled Herodotus' and Thucydides' understanding of history and causation.

Experiencing Dance

From Student to Dance Artist

By: Helene Scheff,Marty Sprague,Susan McGreevy-Nichols

Experiencing Dance: From Student to Dance Artist, Second Edition, takes off where its previous edition—a best-selling high school text for students enrolled in dance classes—left off. Geared to students in dance II, III, and IV classes, this text places teachers in the role of facilitator and opens up a world of creativity and analytical thinking as students explore the art of dance. Through Experiencing Dance, students will be able to do the following: • Encounter dance through creating, performing, responding to, analyzing, connecting with, and understanding dance through its 45-plus lessons. • Experience dance as performers, choreographers, and audience members. • Learn about dance in historical and cultural contexts, in community settings, and as career options. • Go through a complete and flexible high school curriculum that can be presented in one or more years of instruction. • Meet state and national standards in dance education and learn from a pedagogically sound scope and sequence that allow them to address 21st-century learning goals. • Use Spotlight and Did You Know? special elements that will enhance the learning experience and connect studio learning to the real world of dance. Experiencing Dance will help students engage in movement experiences as they learn and apply dance concepts through written, oral, and media assignments. These assignments help them gain a perspective of dance as an art form and provide the content for students to develop interactive dance portfolios. The text contains 15 chapters in five units. Each chapter offers at least three lessons, each containing the following material: • Move It! introduces students, through a movement experience, to a lesson concept. • Vocabulary provides definitions of key terms. • Curtain Up offers background information to help students understand lesson topics and concepts. • Take the Stage presents dance-related assignments for students to produce and share. • Take a Bow engages students in response, evaluation, and revision activities to process their work and concepts presented in the chapter. Each lesson includes Spotlight and Did You Know? special elements that help students extend their learning and deepen their understanding of historical and cultural facts and prominent dancers, dance companies, and professionals in careers related to dance. Each chapter includes a chapter review quiz. Quizzes incorporate true-or-false, short-answer, and matching answer questions. Finally, each chapter ends with a capstone assignment. Students will delve into major topics such as these: • Identifying your movement potential as a dancer • Understanding dance science and its application through studying basic anatomy and injury prevention in relation to dance training • Developing proper warm-ups and cool-downs and integrating fitness principles and nutrition information into healthy dancing practices • Expressing through various dance styles and forms the roles of the dancer, the historical and cultural heritage of the dance, and the dance’s connections to community and society • Developing and performing dance studies and choreography in a variety of styles and forms and then producing the dance using production elements for a variety of settings • Preparing for a future as a dancer, choreographer, or a career that is otherwise connected to dance • Advocating for dance in your community and beyond The text is bolstered by web resources for both students and teachers. These resources enhance the students’ learning experience while enabling teachers to prepare for, conduct, and manage their classes. The student web resource contains these features: • Journaling prompts • Extended learning activities • Web search suggestions for further research • Worksheets and assignments to either print out or complete online (via editable Word files) • Interactive chapter review quizzes (these are completed online and students get immediate feedback) • Video clips • Vocabulary terms with and without definitions to aid in self-quizzing and review The teacher web resource contains everything that is on the student web resource, plus the following: • A printable full-color poster for the classroom • PowerPoint presentations for each chapter • Answer keys for worksheets and quizzes • A full electronic version of the student textbook In addition, Experiencing Dance is available in both print and interactive iBook versions.

Memoir of Love and Art

Honey in the Blood

By: Blanshard Blanshard,Susan Blanshard,Bruce Blanchard

Here is written proof that true love can and does exist in a lifetime. A rare and compelling love story. Memoir of Love And Art, is a reflective personal memoir sensually charged with passages of exquisite prose. What emerges are episodic memories rich in love, art, loss, fortune, and fate. A sensual journey, where narrative, language and emotion are depicted with great passion and reflection. This non-fiction work evokes a realism of places traveled: the West Coast of Aotearoa New Zealand, the countryside of South West France, the tropical coast of Australia and the city of Hanoi, Vietnam. These pages reveal the passionate love between a poet and an artist. This beautiful and powerful impressionistic collage uses creative license with facts. And so contributes to the autobiographical narrative as a whole. In the form of impressionistically written memoirs, the narration is poetic and non-linear. The sensuality of the poetic sinks slowly into your skin.

Fragments of the Human Heart

Collected Poems and Essays, 2000-2007

By: Susan Jane Blanshard

A fragment is a splinter of memory caused by interactions with actual conditions: love, passion, sex, death, birth, intimacy; Such things secretly engrave themselves on all four corners of ones mind; a hundred million thoughts connecting words as one could understand another; where pages of poetry, can be read like sensual text for the initiated. Intoxicated in a garden nameless and eternal. As fragments each is complete in itself, as two sides of a leaf or a blade of grass. As external conditions change the soul changes as well. Intimacy touching the lines of text. No sooner is a poem written; it transforms into a page, which becomes a larger page. No one writes in isolation. Hearts set adrift since the day of birth. The bone and mountains separating people into distinct regions.Your tears contain others tears as well. Still intact, un-melted.The fragments of the human heart continue to be written until they fill an entire book.
