Hardcover: 304 pages Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt; 1 edition (October 18, 2011) Language: English The girl who led an army, the peasant who crowned a king, the maid who became a legend It is the fifteenth century, and the tumultuous Hundred Years’ War rages on. France is under siege, English soldiers tear through the countryside destroying all who cross their path, and Charles VII, the uncrowned king, has neither the strength nor the will to rally his army. And in the quiet of her parents’ garden in Domrémy, a peasant girl sees a spangle of light and hears a powerful voice speak her name. Jehanne. The story of Jehanne d’Arc, the visionary and saint who believed she had been chosen by God, who led an army and saved her country, has captivated our imagination for centuries. But the story of Jehanne—the girl—whose sister was murdered by the English, who sought an escape from a violent father and a forced marriage, who taught herself to ride and fight, and who somehow found the courage and tenacity to persuade first one, then two, then thousands to follow her, is at once thrilling, unexpected, and heartbreaking. Rich with unspoken love and battlefield valor, The Maid is a novel about the power and uncertainty of faith, and the exhilarating and devastating consequences of fame. Views: 195

Hardcover: 238 pages Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan; 1 edition (January 15, 2011) Language: English ISBN-10: 0230109373 ISBN-13: 978-0230109377 Release date: January 15, 2011 How did all things African disappear from Santo Domingo? How did a white Hispanic identity instead come to dominate the country’s collective consciousness? Why did Dominican intellectuals, in trying to create a free and modern society and shield their country from North American imperialism, reengage Spanish neocolonialism? In an effort to explore these questions, the author analyzes and discusses the socio-historical meanings and implications of Pedro Henríquez Ureña’s (1884-1946) writings on language. This important twentieth century Latin American intellectual is an unavoidable reference in Hispanic Linguistics and Cultural Studies and his texts make us confront the ideological underpinnings of language, race, and identity in the context of Latin America and the pan-Hispanic community. Review “This book by Juan R. Valdez is a valuable contribution to the search for a better understanding of Dominican identity. The young scholar conducts a balanced and penetrating study of the thought of the celebrated Dominican humanist Pedro Henríquez Ureña, situating it carefully in its proper context while highlighting aspects that have hitherto gone unnoticed. Particularly worthy of mention is the analysis presented in chapter five, where Valdez defends the hypothesis that, in his extensive writing on language, the author of El español en Santo Domingo seeks to achieve a ‘whitening of Dominican Identity.’”--Orlando Alba, Professor of Hispanic Linguistics, Brigham Young University About the Author: Juan R. Valdez is Assistant Professor of Spanish at University of Wyoming. His research focuses on the interplay of notions of identity and language use and how this dynamic is reflected in the political history of Spanish. He has published several articles on this subject and is currently conducting research on normalization processes which lead to the recognition or misrecognition of sociolinguistic phenomena. Formerly a New York City public school teacher, he has taught at several institutions across the United States, including New York University, City College of The City University of New York, and Stanford University..

But it also has a melancholy acceptance that some things can only be survived, not vanquished.' 21st Century Fix.As General Secretary of the Labour Party Peter Watt, was at the heart of government and witnessed one of the most tumultuous periods in recent political history. Not only did he oversee the successful transition of the Premiership from Tony Blair to Gordon Brown, he also arranged the election that never wasA" whose last-minute bottling by Brown so damaged his standing as PM, and had to rescue the Party when it was a mere twelve hours from bankruptcy. He was also closely involved in two of the biggest political scandals of the Labour administration: cash for peerages and the Abrahams donorgateA" affair. For the latter, Watt was thrown to the wolves by Gordon Brown, his loyalty repaid with a forced resignation and the imminent threat of prison. During this period Watt also had to battle to save a marriage cracking under the strain of the job, overcome the sudden death of his father, care for vulnerable foster children and cope with the emotional roller-coaster of IVF treatment with his wife. Inside Out is the ultimate insider expose: a no-holds-barred account of the spectacular decline of the most effective party political machine of modern times and an intimate viewpoint into the highly flawed personalities at the heart of government, including the country's two most recent Prime Ministers. About the Author Peter Watt was formerly the General Secretary of the Labour Party. He is CEO of the Campaign Company. Views: 111

The Letters of Heloise and Abelard: A Translation of Their Collected Correspondence and Related Writings (The New Middle Ages) Description: Series: The New Middle Ages Hardcover: 386 pages Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan (December 22, 2009) Language: English Release date: December 22, 2009 The letters of Heloise and Abelard remain some of the great romantic and intellectual documents of human civilization while the writers themselves are probably second only to Romeo and Juliet in the fame accrued by tragic lovers. Living in the abbey of the Paraclete in twelfth-century France, the two poured their hearts and minds out to each other in a series of letters. The letters are notable for their intelligence, insight, and philosophy and make clear the reason Heloise and Abelard’s story has resounded for centuries. Here, for the first time, is the collected correspondence with accessible commentary from two of our foremost medieval scholars. This book will be a necessity for anyone interested in the medieval period or in these two touchingly unforgettable figures from the distant past. Views: 118
