Where to Find Birds in New York State

The Top 500 Sites

By: Susan Roney Drennan

More than 400 of North America's 800-plus bird species can be found in New York State. Where to Find Birds in New York State tells where, when, and how to locate New York State's diverse year-round and seasonal avian residents. Focusing on the top 500 sites in the state, the book provides directions to sites in all 10 Kingbird regions, physiographic descriptions, lists of the birds likely to be found, and seasonal ratings. Among the sites listed in the guide are a number in the Adirondacks, on the Tug Hill Plateau, and on Long island. The author devotes specific chapters to rare birds, the 25 best hawk-watching sites during both spring and fall migrations, and the sites and habitats of pelagic, resident, and migrant birds. To facilitate amateur and professional participation in assembling ornithological data the book contains a section on the New York State Avian Records Committee, its prescribed list of rarities, and instructions on how to report the observation of a rare bird. Where to Find Birds in New York State is an invaluable aid in the field and will be treasured reading for birders and naturalists everywhere.

The French Mistress

A Novel of the Duchess of Portsmouth and King Charles II

By: Susan Holloway Scott

From the author of The King's Favorite-a new novel based on a dazzling and decadent true story of Restoration England. The daughter of a poor nobleman, Louise leaves the French countryside for the court of King Louis XIV, where she must not only please the tastes of the jaded king, but serve as a spy for France. With few friends, many rivals, and ever-shifting loyalties, Louise learns the perils of her new role. Yet she is too ambitious to be a pawn in the intrigues of others. With the promise of riches, power, and even the love of a king, Louise creates her own destiny in a dance of intrigue between two monarchs-and two countries.

Restoration Theatre and Crisis

By: Susan J. Owen

Restoration Theatre and Crisis

By: Susan J. Owen

Restoration Theatre and Crisis is a seminal study of the drama of the Restoration, in particular that of the Popish Plot and Exclusion Crisis. This was a time of unprecedented political partisanship in the theatre. This book cosniders all the known plays of this period, including works by Dryden and Behn, in their historical context. It examines the complex ways in which the drama both reflected and intervened in the political process, at a time when the crisis fractured an already fragile post-interregnum consensus, and modern party political methods first began to develop. Susan Owen discusses the ways in which Tory and Whig playwrights engaged in dramatic dialogue, deliberately commenting on and revising each other's themes and topics. The book also explores the arena of sexual politics, examining the political significance of themes such as disharmony in the family, and the importance of rape as a dramatic signifier of monstrosity associated with rebellion by the Tories and tyranny and popery by the Whigs. Restoration Theatre and Crisis considers the use of sexuality as a political discourse, and ways in which ideas about libertinism and constructions of masculinity and femininity intersect with political concerns in the drama. Thus the book bridges the gap between `gender-blind' political accounts and studies which have focused on gender themes in the drama in isolation from party politics.

The King's Favorite

A Novel of Nell Gwyn and King Charles II

By: Susan Holloway Scott

The acclaimed author of Duchess and Royal Harlot returns with the unforgettable story of a king's last love and London's darling? BRNell Gwyn has never been a lady, nor does she pretend to be. Blessed with impudent wit and saucy beauty, she swiftly rises from the poverty of Covent Garden to become a sensation in the theater. Still in her teens, she catches the eye of King Charles II, and trades the stage for Whitehall Palace-and the role of royal mistress. Even though she delights the king, she must learn to negotiate the cutthroat royal court, where ambition and lust for power rule the hearts of all around her. For beneath her charm and light-heartedness, Nell has her own ambition-to become no less than the king's favorite.

Insurrection

Henry VIII, Thomas Cromwell and the Pilgrimage of Grace

By: Susan Loughlin

Autumn 1536. Katherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn are dead. Henry VIII has married Jane Seymour, and still awaits his longed for male heir. Disaffected conservatives in England see an opportunity for a return to Rome and an end to religious experimentation, but Thomas Cromwell has other ideas.The Dissolution of the Monasteries has begun and the publication of the Lutheran influenced Ten Articles of the Anglican Church has followed. The obstinate monarch, enticed by monastic wealth, is determined not to change course. Fear and resentment is unleashed in northern England in the largest spontaneous uprising against a Tudor monarch – the Pilgrimage of Grace – in which 30,000 men take up arms against the king.This book examines the evidence for that opposition and the abundant examples of religiously motivated dissent. It also highlights the rhetoric, reward and retribution used by the Crown to enforce its policy and crush the opposition.
