Food for the Dead: On the Trail of New England's Vampires
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bell, Michael E., PUBLISHER: Wesleyan, For nineteenth-century New Englanders, "vampires" lurked behind tuberculosis. To try to rid their houses and communities from the scourge of the wasting disease, families sometimes relied on folk practices, including exhuming and consuming the bodies of the deceased. Author and folklorist Michael E. Bell spent twenty years pursuing stories of the vampire in New England. While writers like H. P. Lovecraft, Henry David Thoreau, and Amy Lowell drew on portions of these stories in their writings, Bell brings the actual practices to light for the first time. He shows that the belief in vampires was widespread, and, for some families, lasted well into the twentieth century. With humor, insight, and sympathy, he uncovers story upon story of dying men, women, and children who believed they were food for the dead. This Wesleyan paperback edition includes an extensive preface by the author unveiling some of the new cases he's learned about since Food for the Dead was first published in . Acquista Ora

The Essence of Anthropology.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Haviland, William A., PUBLISHER: Wadsworth Publishing Company, Haviland et al. present anthropology from a holistic, four-field perspective using three unifying themes to provide a framework for the text: the varied ways human groups face the many challenges of existence, the connections between human culture and human biology, and the disparate impact of globalization on peoples and cultures around the world. Between the superlative writing-which instructors raved about in their reviews-and the strong pedagogical program, the text is designed to help students grasp the concepts and their relevance to today's complex world. Such pedagogy as the "Challenge Issue" at the beginning of each chapter and the "Questions for Reflection" at the end of each chapter--which are linked to the Challenge Issue--provide a framework that ensures that the chapters consistently focus on and reflect the text's themes. Boxed features such as "Biocultural Connections," "Original Studies," and "Anthropology Applied" hone in on particularly interesting examples that give students deeper insight into the meaning and relevance of a wide range of topics covered in the general narrative.
Leisure: The Basis of Culture: Including the Philosophical
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pieper, Josef / Dru, Alexander / Schall, James V., PUBLISHER: Ignatius Press, One of the most important philosophy titles published in the twentieth century, Josef Pieper's Leisure, the Basis of Culture is more significant, even more crucial, today than it was when it first appeared more than fifty years ago. This edition also includes his work The Philosophical Act. Leisure is an attitude of the mind and a condition of the soul that fosters a capacity to perceive the reality of the world. Pieper shows that the Greeks and medieval Europeans, understood the great value and importance of leisure. He also points out that religion can be born only in leisure -- a leisure that allows time for the contemplation of the nature of God. Leisure has been, and always will be, the first foundation of any culture. Pieper maintains that our bourgeois world of total labor has vanquished leisure, and issues a startling warning: Unless we regain the art of silence and insight, the ability for non-activity, unless we substitute true leisure for our hectic amusements, we will destroy our culture -- and ourselves.
The Edge of Marriage: Stories
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kaplan, Hester, PUBLISHER: University of Georgia Press, In nine stories of tension-filled choices, difficult awakenings, and ironic twists, characters in The Edge of Marriage ride the wavering line between commitments and promises. Full of conflict, betrayal, illness, manipulation, and indecision, these stories portray men and women on the brink of defeat and drastic change. In "Claude Comes and Goes" a husband confesses his sympathy and affection for his wife's dying former lover. "The Spiral" captures the crippling effects of miscommunication and unresolved grief. In "Dyaesthesia" a wife and mother grapples with her feelings about her marriage and her husband after he is maimed in an accident. Characters trapped in troubled relationships and on the edge of society walk along Hester Kaplan's "edge": an out-of-wedlock child, a grown victim of child abuse, the male lover of a married man with AIDS. The title stoW confronts the complexity of friendship, love, and marriage, as a husband faces his wife's emotional breakdown and his own surfacing resentments. This sometimes startling, frequently poignant collection is illuminated by keen insight and tempered with somber hope.

Politics and the Theory of Language in the USSR :
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brandist, Craig / Chown, Katya, PUBLISHER: Anthem Press, 'Politics and the Theory of Language in the USSR ' provides ground-breaking research into the complex interrelations of linguistic theory and politics during the first two decades of the USSR. The work examines how the new Revolutionary regime promoted linguistic research that scrutinised the relationship between language, social structure, national identity and ideological factors as part of an attempt to democratize the public sphere. It also looks at the demise of the sociological paradigm, as the isolation and bureaucratization of the state gradually shifted the focus of research. Through this account, the collection formally acknowledges the achievements of the Soviet linguists of the time, whose innovative approaches to the relationship between language and society predates the emergence of western sociolinguistics by several decades. These articles are the first articles written in English about these linguists, and will introduce an Anglophone audience to a range of materials hitherto unavailable. In addition to providing new articles, the volume also presents the first annotated translation of Ivan Meshchaninov's 'Theses on Japhetidology', thereby providing insight into one of the most controversial strands within Soviet linguistic thought.

In the spirit of a Louis La'mour western, with an insight into the human psyche reminiscent of Dean Koontz, James Dawson offers the reader a well-written literary road trip you will travel again and again.
What the Best College Teachers Do
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bain, Ken, PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, What makes a great teacher great? Who are the professors students remember long after graduation? This book, the conclusion of a fifteen-year study of nearly one hundred college teachers in a wide variety of fields and universities, offers valuable answers for all educators. The short answer is--it's not what teachers do, it's what they understand. Lesson plans and lecture notes matter less than the special way teachers comprehend the subject and value human learning. Whether historians or physicists, in El Paso or St. Paul, the best teachers know their subjects inside and out--but they also know how to engage and challenge students and to provoke impassioned responses. Most of all, they believe two things fervently: that teaching matters and that students can learn. In stories both humorous and touching, Bain describes examples of ingenuity and compassion, of students' discoveries of new ideas and the depth of their own potential. "What the Best College Teachers Do" is a treasure trove of insight and inspiration for first-year teachers and seasoned educators.
Parenting: The Bottom Line
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mackey, Ron, PUBLISHER: Trafford Publishing, "Parenting: The Bottom Line" was born out of the never-ending controversy of whether or not spanking should be used as a disciplinary tool by parents. In response to this hot topic, author Ron Mackey examines the role of the parent as disciplinarian and the importance of raising children to understand the difference between good and bad behavior. Guiding and nurturing children with love and patience will establish a solid foundation allowing them to grow up to become responsible adults.All too often, parents in today's society postpone using any kind of discipline with their children until they are old enough to understand the reason for the punishment. But by postponing this critical part of the growth cycle, they discover that their children have developed behavior that has become so deeply ingrained that the habits can't be easily broken."Parenting: The Bottom Line" provides insight and useful information that is designed to help parents overcome some of the difficulties that they may encounter, as they raise their bundles of joy from infancy to adulthood.

Through Australian Eyes: Colonial Perceptions of Imperial
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hassam, Andrew, PUBLISHER: Sussex Academic Press, In the last twenty-five years of the 19th century, around visitors from Australia landed in Britain. As members of the colonial elite, they sailed to the Old Country to experience their Britishness: they toured Westminster Abbey; they visited graves of parents; they threw snowballs at Christmas. Yet they were also aware of themselves as Australians. In , one Irishman wrote of his birthplace: 'The north of Ireland is a disgusting climate for an Australian who loves his blue skies and glorious sunshine.' Even London could disappoint: I have seen many curious things here not to be seen at home but it's not half the place I expected to see - hardly worth coming for.' Colonial Australians were British, but not of Britain, and their diaries and letters offer a distinctive insight into nineteenth-century Britain. Using unpublished diaries and letters, this book offers a unique and cross-disciplinary approach to Cultural History. It considers both British and Australian national identities as the products of cultural displacement.

Autobiography of a Face
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Grealy, Lucy / Patchett, Ann, PUBLISHER: Harper Perennial, ""I spent five years of my life being treated for cancer, but since then I've spent fifteen years being treated for nothing other than looking different from everyone else. It was the pain from that, from feeling ugly, that I always viewed as the great tragedy of my life. The fact that I had cancer seemed minor in comparison."" At age nine, Lucy Grealy was diagnosed with a potentially terminal cancer. When she returned to school with a third of her jaw removed, she faced the cruel taunts of classmates. In this strikingly candid memoir, Grealy tells her story of great suffering and remarkable strength without sentimentality and with considerable wit. Vividly portraying the pain of peer rejection and the guilty pleasures of wanting to be special, Grealy captures with unique insight what it is like as a child and young adult to be torn between two warring impulses: to feel that more than anything else we want to be loved for who we are, while wishing desperately and secretly to be perfect.

Real Places: An Unconventional Guide to America's Generic
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Clay, Grady, PUBLISHER: University of Chicago Press, In "Real Places," Grady Clay presents the American landscape in a completely fresh and untypical way. Rather than look at locations, he studies constructed, imaginative sites. Clay explores the fascination of "Fall Color Country," or "Lover's Lane."

"Real Places" catalogs and describes a unique cross-section of America, emphasizing the beauty and intrigue of these hidden gems. Heavily illustrated with maps and photographs depicting the everyday as well as the bizarre, Clay's entertaining Baedeker allows us to see in a new way what has always been "right before our eyes."
