As the new chieftain of the Crows, Fie knows better than to expect a royal to keep his word. Still she’s hopeful that Prince Jasimir will fulfill his oath to protect her fellow Crows. But then black smoke fills the sky, signaling the death of King Surimir and the beginning of Queen Rhusana's ruthless bid for the throne. Queen Rhusana wins popular support by waging a brutal campaign against the Crows, blaming them for the poisonous plague that wracks the nation. A desperate Fie clings onto a prophecy that a long-forgotten god will return and provide a cure to the plague. Fie must team up with old friends - and an old flame - to track down a dead god and save her people.

The first art book to explore Rossetti's art and poetry together, including her own artworks, illustrations to her writing, and art inspired by her Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) is among the greatest of English Victorian poets. The intensity of her vision, her colloquial style, and the lyrical quality of her verse still speak powerfully to us today, while her striking imagery has always inspired artists. Rossetti lived in an exceptionally visual environment: her brother, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, was the leading member of the avant-garde Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and she became a favorite model for the group. She sat for the face of Christ in William Holman Hunt's The Light of the World, while both John Everett Millais and Frederick Sandys illustrated her poetry. Later on, the pioneering photographer Julia Margaret Cameron and the great Belgian Symbolist Fernand Khnopff were inspired by Rossetti's enigmatic verses. This engaging book explores the full artistic context of Rossetti's life and poetry: her own complicated attitude to pictures; the many portraits of her by artists, including her brother, John Brett, and Lewis Carroll; her own intriguing and virtually unknown drawings; and the wealth of visual images inspired by her words.

The book is intended as a contribution towards metatheoretical development as part of the post-postmodern 'return to' sociological theory associated with Robert Sibeon (1996, 1999, 2004, 2007), Derek Layder (1997, 2004, 2007), Nicos Mouzelis (1991, 1993, 1995, 2007), Margaret Archer (1995, 1998) and Owen [2006a, 2006b, 2007a, 2007b] in tandem with a study of some of the sociological and ethical implications of selected examples of human biotechnology. The examples include the Human Genome Project, and related areas of interest such as reproductive biotechnology; the attempts to develop a biological sociology by writers of the 'embodied' school; and what Powell and Owen (2005) term 'the biomedical model'. The book is also intended to contribute towards 'building bridges' between post-modern metatheory and biological science.

The Franklin expedition was not alone in suffering early and unexplained deaths. Indeed, both Back (1837) and Ross (1849) suffered early onset of unaccountable "debility" aboard ship and Ross suffered greater fatalities during his single winter in the Arctic than did Franklin during his first. Both expeditions were forced to retreat because of the rapacious illness that stalked their ships. Frozen in Time makes the case that this illness (starting with the Back expedition) was due to the crews' overwhelming reliance on a new technology, namely tinned foods. This not only exposed the seamen to lead, an insidious poison - as has been demonstrated in Franklin's case by Dr. Beattie's research - but it also left them vulnerable to scurvy, the ancient scourge of seafarers which had been thought to have been largely cured in the early years of the nineteenth century. Fully revised, Frozen in Time will update the research outlined in the original edition, and will introduce independent confirmation of Dr. Beattie's lead hypothesis, along with corroboration of his discovery of physical evidence for both scurvy and cannibalism. In addition, the book includes a new introduction written by Margaret Atwood, who has long been fascinated by the role of the Franklin Expedition in Canada's literary conscience, and has made a pilgrimage to the site of the Franklin Expedition graves on Beechey Island.

`A great tale... the golden thread that led to the crown of England' Conn Iggulden Jasper Tudor, son of Queen Catherine and her second husband, Owen Tudor, has grown up far from the intrigue of the royal court. But after he and his brother Edmund are summoned to London, their half-brother, King Henry VI, takes a keen interest in their future.Bestowing Earldoms on them both, Henry also gives them the wardship of the young heiress Margaret Beaufort. Although she is still a child, Jasper becomes devoted to her and is devastated when Henry arranges her betrothal to Edmund.He seeks solace in his estates and in the arms of Jane Hywel, a young Welsh woman who offers him something more meaningful than a dynastic marriage. But passion turns to jeopardy for them both as the Wars of the Roses wreak havoc on the realm. Loyal brother to a fragile king and his domineering queen, Marguerite of Anjou, Jasper must draw on all his guile and courage to preserve their throne and the Tudor destiny...

An examination of `extreme' literary rewritings of the bible, which traces how the bible has been adapted and rewritten in literature across time. The focus of the study is upon how literature can use and apply biblical motifs and styles without specifically re-telling a recognisable biblcal story, and yet at the same time, remain heavily influenced by the Bible. Swindell begins with an overview of the current state of play in the study of the literary rewriting of the Bible considering examples from medieval times through to the work of Margaret Atwood. Swindell discusses and identifies the point at which certain rewritings become `extreme' and the conditions which lead to this. After surveying an array of such rewritings, and the range scholarship on them, Swindell examines two specific authors (Rider Haggard and Sylvie Germain) whose work has been neglected by critical scholarship. Swindell then studies six extreme rewritings by other, modern and postmodern authors (including Wilfred Owen and Philip Pullman), before drawing conclusions and suggesting the significance of what has emerged for reception studies as a whole and for the understanding of the Bible as a polymorphous text.

The Tudors are England's most notorious royal family. But, as Leanda de Lisle's gripping new history reveals, they are a family still more extraordinary than the one we thought we knew.The Tudor canon typically starts with the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, before speeding on to Henry VIII and the Reformation. But this leaves out the family's obscure Welsh origins, the ordinary man known as Owen Tudor who would fall (literally) into a Queen's lap—and later her bed. It passes by the courage of Margaret Beaufort, the pregnant thirteen-year-old girl who would help found the Tudor dynasty, and the ch

Composed over several decades, the essays here are remarkably fresh and relevant. They offer instruction for the student just beginning the study of folklore as well as repeated value for the many established scholars who continue to wrestle with issues that Wilson has addressed. As his work has long offered insight on critical mattersnationalism, genre, belief, the relationship of folklore to other disciplines in the humanities and arts, the currency of legend, the significance of humor as a cultural expression, and so forthso his recent writing, in its reflexive approach to narrative and storytelling, illuminates today's paradigms. Its notable autobiographical dimension, long an element of Wilson's work, employs family and local lore to draw conclusions of more universal significance. Another way to think of it is that newer folklorists are catching up with Wilson and what he has been about for some time. As a body, Wilson's essays develop related topics and connected themes. This collection organizes them in three coherent parts. The first examines the importance of folklorewhat it is and its value in various contexts.Part two, drawing especially on the experience of Finland, considers the role of folklore in national identity, including both how it helps define and sustain identity and the less savory ways it may be used for the sake of nationalistic ideology. Part three, based in large part on Wilson's extensive work in Mormon folklore, which is the most important in that area since that of Austin and Alta Fife, looks at religious cultural expressions and outsider perceptions of them and, again, at how identity is shaped, by religious belief, experience, and participation; by the stories about them; and by the many other expressive parts of life encountered daily in a culture.Each essay is introduced by a well-known folklorist who discusses the influence of Wilson's scholarship. These include Richard Bauman, Margaret Brady, Simon Bronner, Elliott Oring, Henry Glassie, David Hufford, Michael Owen Jones, and Beverly Stoeltje.

Aves, the birds, is the wildlife group that people most frequently encounter. With over 10,000 species worldwide, these animals are part of our everyday experience. They are also the focus of intense research, and their management and conservation is a subject of considerable effort throughout the world. But what are the defining attributes that make a bird a bird?Aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, Ornithology provides a solid modern foundation for understanding the life and development of birds. Written by renowned experts from around the globe, this comprehensive textbook draws on the latest research to create an innovative learning experience. Moving beyond bones, muscle, and feathers, it provides the core information needed to "build" the bird, linking anatomy and physiology with ecology and behavior.As it reviews the major orders of birds, the book highlights their wide diversity and critically evaluates ornithological concepts and theories. Incorporating brief biographies of leaders in the field, the text describes their contributions in the context of key historical events in bird science. Each chapter ends with a summary of the material covered, a discussion of potential management and conservation applications, and suggested study questions that will stimulate thought and discussion.

Journalist James Bloodworth tilbrakte seks måneder undercover i noen av Storbritannias mest utmattende jobber. Han var løsarbeider på et Amazon-lager, var sin egen «sjef» som Uber-sjåfør, telefonselger og ansatt på nulltimers-kontrakt i eldreomsorgen. Han bor i kollektiv sammen med kolleger fra Øst-Europa i råtne leiligheter, der det fyker kakerlakker over gulvet. Det eneste som duger når nok en slitsom arbeidsdag er over, er junk food og alkohol. Bloodworth tjener så vidt nok penger til å overleve. Helt fra Margaret Thatchers tid har det tradisjonelle arbeiderklassesamfunnet blitt undergravd i Storbritannia. Der man før hadde sterke fagforeninger, verdighet og framtidshåp, har man nå underbetalte jobber uten sikkerhet. James Bloodworth er journalist og forfatter. Han skriver ukentlig for nyhetsnettstedet International Business Times og har vært publisert i blant andre Guardian, New York Review of Books og Wall Street Journal. Han er tidligere redaktør av det politiske nettstedet Left Foot Forward - og er en markant samfunnskommentator i Storbritannia. «James Bloodworths bok er et vitnesbyrd fra det britiske klassesamfunnet og viser hvordan det går når politikken svikter. [...] Dette er en bok du ikke kommer utenom dersom du ønsker å forstå dagens arbeids- og samfunnsliv, og klassekampene som vender tilbake - om enn i nye, og noen ganger reaksjonære former.» - Jonas Bals, Klassekampen «En svært foruroligende bok, uansett hvilken politisk tilhørighet du måtte ha ... meget god.» Sunday Times «Kraftfull, opprørende og avslørende.» Evening Standard

Bogen giver en overordnet introduktion til den socialkonstruktionistiske diskursanalyse. Forfatterne kortlægger diskursanalysens videnskabsteoretiske præmisser og dens sammentænkning af humanistiske og samfundsvidenskabelige teorier om den sociale konstruktion af viden, identitet og samfund. Bogens hoveddel introducerer og vurderer tre centrale tilgange til diskursanalyse: Ernesto Laclau og Chantal Mouffes diskursteori, Norman Faircloughs kritiske diskursanalyse samt diskurspsykologien repræsenteret af blandt andre Jonathan Potter og Margaret Wetherell. Bogen giver mange metodiske anvisninger og eksempler på, hvordan teorierne kan omsættes til analysestrategier i konkret empirisk arbejde.

Kroppslig litterasitet handler om egenverdien ved å være fysisk aktiv og i bevegelse gjennom hele livet. Boka bygger på teori om kroppslig litterasitet (physical literacy) fremmet av Margaret Whitehead, og gir en bred forståelse av hvilke muligheter som ligger i en bevissthet om kroppens potensialer. Det handler om mer enn å fremme god helse, mer enn ferdighetslæring, mer enn å trene. Hele menneskets væren i verden er kroppslig, og kroppen har betydning for hvordan vi kommuniserer, og hvordan vi forholder oss til andre mennesker. Gjennom livet dannes vi som kroppslige subjekter. Forfatteren diskuterer hva som bør ligge i begrepet kroppslig litterasitet, og på hvilken måte dette kan være til nytte for lærere i barnehage og grunnskole. Bokas målgruppe er undervisere, forskere og studenter på barnehagelærer- og grunnskolelærerutdanningene. Boka er også aktuell for alle som er opptatt av kropp og bevegelse fra ulike perspektiver, som lek, fysisk aktivitet, helse og daglige gjøremål, men også kropp og bevegelse i samspill og kommunikasjon. Heid Osnes er førstelektor ved Fakultet for lærerutdanning og internasjonale studier ved OsloMet. Hun underviser i faget fysisk fostring og på kunnskapsområdet natur, helse og bevegelse. Hun har blant annet forsket på kroppslig lek og holdt kurs, foredrag og presentasjoner på konferanser nasjonalt og internasjonalt. Hennes faglige tilnærming til kropp og bevegelse fra ulike perspektiver har resultert i flere fagbøker og vitenskapelige artikler.
