Things are looking up for Katelyn Took. She has a job, a roof over her head, a new love, and she's down to fourteen cats. If it weren't for the human remains, she fell into on Eagle Drop Ridge, she'd be over the moon.Then things start to slide. Before she recovers from falling into the first set of bones, a second set of remains is discovered fifty feet down at the bottom of the ledge. She knows there has to be a connection, even though the father of the male victim says there isn't. His tunnel vision is mirrored by the sheriff's, whose main focus is the female victim.Katelyn just wants it all cleared up before the climbing company that's considering renting the ledges drops out. It's a balancing act with the media thrown in for added confusion, and somehow the fate of her new love is jeopardized.Then Katelyn finds a small, shiny clue. What is she going to give up for peace of mind, or rather, what is going to be taken from her?

Katelyn Took came home to settle her grandmother's estate, only to discover not only did Gram leave seventeen cats. But Ruth Beauregard, a childhood chum, had moved in. Ruth was confused, penniless, and abandoned by her in-laws because they believed she had murdered her husband five years before. Ruth had improved, physically and mentally, but she still lived under the stigma of the Beauregard family's accusations. Katie believed Ruth was innocent and wanted her to be able to move on and be happy. But to make it so, she'd have to look for dirt under a lot of rocks, and it was looking like someone was going to throw those same rocks back. Hard. She could duck and weave, but could Katie find the truth without getting stoned to death?

Spring is waning, and summer is on the way. It's a beautiful day for Doris Flynn to take Rex and Buttercup, her four-hundred-and-fifty-pound lap pig, for a walk along the ridge. While Doris is admiring the flora and fauna, Buttercup is snuffling up the seedier side of things and uncovers the remains of a deceased forest brethren. Though Buttercup is quite interested, Doris is disgusted. Diverting the pig isn't easy, but when she's gone, Doris is left looking at a human skull barely half a mile from her home. A call to 911 brings the sheriff and the medicolegal death investigator. Both are new, have an agenda, and are questioning the viability of a pet pig. While Doris ponders how the remains got to a place directly above her home and how her daughter is tied into the case, the sheriff, unsure of his own staff, is trying to decipher the why. That leaves only the who and how, the medicolegal death investigator's forte. Are they going to find a way to work together and figure this out, or are the outsiders now prowling the area going to wreak more havoc?

Neo-Imperialism in Children's Literature About Africa

Neo-Imperialism in Children's Literature About Africa

Yulisa Amadu Maddy; Donnarae MacCann

Routledge

nidottu
In the spirit of their last collaboration, Apartheid and Racism in South African Children's Literature, 1985-1995, Yulisa Amadu Maddy and Donnarae MacCann once again come together to expose the neo-imperialist overtones of contemporary children's fiction about Africa. Examining the portrayal of African social customs, religious philosophies, and political structures in fiction for young people, Maddy and MacCann reveal the Western biases that often infuse stories by well-known Western authors.In the book's introductory section, Maddy and MacCann offer historical information concerning Western notions of Africa as "primitive," and then present background information about the complexity of feminism in Africa and about the ongoing institutionalization of racism. The main body of the study contains critiques of the novels or short stories of eleven well-known writers, including Isabel Allende and Nancy Farmer--all demonstrating that children's literature continues to mis-represent conditions and social relations in Africa. The study concludes with a look at those short stories of Beverley Naidoo which bring insight and historical accuracy to South African conflicts and emerging solutions. Educators, literature professors, publishers, professors of Diaspora and African studies, and students of the mass media will find Maddy and MacCann’s critique of racism in the representation of Africa to be indispensible to students of multicultural literature.

Die Schatzkiste

Geschichten und Gedichte lesen bringt echt etwas und ist bei jungen Leuten wieder "in". Die rund 50 Texte in diesem Buch zeigen dies jungen und jung gebliebenen Lesern auf höchst unterhaltsame Weise. Sie handeln von alltäglichen Ereignissen und drehen sich um Begebenheiten in der Familie und in der Schule. Sie erzählen von wahren Erlebnissen mit Tieren und schildern Beobachtungen in der Umwelt. Sensationelles wird ebenso berichtet, wie unscheinbare Geschehnisse. Die Texte informieren über das Leben berühmter Leute, aber auch über jenes von unbekannten Menschen. Manches wirkt eigenartig und enthüllt seinen Sinn erst bei genauerem Hinsehen. Eines ist jedoch allen Beiträgen gemeinsam: sie regen zum Nachdenken an und laden ein, miteinander darüber ins Gespräch zu kommen. Der Autor Alfons Schweiggert wird häufig eingeladen, in Schulen zu lesen. Viele der vorliegenden Texte wurden durch Gespräche mit Jugendlichen angeregt. Das Buch enthält insbesondere auch eine Auswahl jener Beiträge, nach denen bei den Leseveranstaltungen immer wieder gefragt wird.

Donna Haraway: Live Theory

Donna Haraway: Live Theory

Joseph Schneider

Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd.
2005
nidottu
Donna Haraway: Live Theory is an invaluable introduction to the work of this key contemporary theorist and critic. Concise, accessible and comprehensive, it locates Haraway in the context of post-Vietnam US academic life, drawing out the roots of her political and intellectual concerns. The book makes clear the extent of her impact on the understanding of the relationship between 'nature' and 'culture', and how this played no small part in shaping the discipline of cultural studies. In particular, the book explores and illuminates the 'feminist science studies' that emerged from her writing, and her ongoing contribution to it, including the groundbreaking essays on the cyborg and situated knowledge. Haraway's identification of science and technology as being closely entwined with global capitalism is discussed in detail, as is her call for a new form of science that is resistant to any captialist imperative. The book includes a new interview with Haraway herself, in which she discusses the key themes in her work and likely and possible future directions. Donna Haraway: Live Theory is a key resource for anyone studying this pioneering thinker within the context of sociology, cultural studies and science studies.
