Kit's Kingdom

Kit's Kingdom

Barbara M. Freeman

Carleton University Press,Canada
1989
nidottu
This first title in the Carleton Women's Experience Series looks at the lively writing of Kit Coleman, best known as the first accredited North American female war correspondent for her coverage of the Spanish-American War of 1898. The author outlines how Coleman created "Kit" of "Woman's Kingdom" in the Toronto Mail as a journalist adventurous enough to cover a war, and motherly enough to write a popular advice column.

The Satellite Sex

The Satellite Sex

Barbara M. Freeman

Wilfrid Laurier University Press
2001
nidottu
Have the Canadian media given feminism a bad name or have they been among the movement's strongest supporters? Is journalistic objectivity a myth when it comes to women's voices, or doesn't it matter? In this provocative new book - the first one to examine print and broadcast news coverage of women's issues in English Canada - Barbara Freeman explores what the media were saying about women and their concerns during an important period in our history - and why. The Satellite Sex is both a social history and a media case study of the years 1966-1971, when the feminist movement began once more to gather support. Women wanted equal treatment under the law, and they wanted rights they had not gained when they won the vote many years earlier. In response, the Canadian government appointed a federal inquiry on the status of women, and hundreds of women came forward to talk to the Commission about the injustices they experienced at school, at work, in public life, in their homes, and even in their bedrooms. The Satellite Sex demonstrates that the print and broadcast media coverage of women's issues at that time were much more complex and fragmented than revealed by research in the United States on the same era. This book, released thirty years after the Canadian Commission presented its report, also raises questions about the lack of strong feminist voices in today's news media.

Hear My Voice

Hear My Voice

Barbara M Young

Story Voice International
2022
pokkari
"Hear My Voice: My Life Unmasked brings new directions to the genre of the memoir. Rather than just relying on concise prose descriptions and inspirational insights, the author underpins her stories through photos, images, and the occasional poetic line. Barbara's journey to discover meaning, purpose, and community through mask making becomes a story of grace, power, and awakening. The result is a beautifully crafted book full of hope and honesty." Olivia Archibald, PhD, Professor Emeritus of English, Saint Martin's University.

The Step-Father's Step-Son

The Step-Father's Step-Son

Barbara M Cox

Historic Oaks Inn, LLC
2021
pokkari
In The Step-Father's Step-Son, Barbara M. Cox takes a stand for a man's first wife and the children of his first wife. The laws of this land care for neither except to offer social services that are funded by the overburdened taxpayer.Adultery is encouraged and accepted in this country. It is our most sacred sin. The breakup of the family in this manner is only possible with laws, lawyers, and law enforcement officials. There are many in this country that trust in these "lords" to tell them what is right and wrong based upon their laws. (Even Sarai called Abram her "lord," meaning a highly respected man.) As a result, many children have been aborted, families have been split apart by divorce and remarriage after divorce, and children have been abandoned so that a man can play house with another woman. When a parent divorces and then remarries, the step-parents and their children, in many cases, become the heirs. Our lawyers and their cronies are cursing the parents and children of the first family.Jesus said, "Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy god, and him only shalt thou serve" (Matthew 4:10). It is time that we awake from our slumber and stop letting the "lords" in our land make decisions for us that are contradictory to the teachings of Jesus. Our lawyers and other lords tempt us to do things that we should not, just as Satan tempted Jesus.

Spirits talk to Dakota Lee. They have since she was twelve years old. Now an adult, she is happy with her life as the owner of, Sugar Babies, a small bakery in the quiet town of Santa Mesa, California. Dakota has accepted her gift for the most part and learned to deal with the sometimes demanding spirits. An early morning run leads to a gruesome discovery. A dead man slumped in his car, and a panicked basset hound pacing beside it. The dead man is Detective Rod Kane. After a prickly interview with Kane's partner, Detective Blake Scott, Dakota is ready to put the disturbing event behind her. When she sees the basset hound in the park the next morning everything changes. Coaxing the hound to her, she hears a man's voice consoling the dog. Seeing no one else around, Dakota knows it is a spirit and asks what the man needs. Detective Rod Kane has refused this dead mother's offer to join her in the beyond. He can't. Not until he finds out who killed him. He is startled that Dakota can hear him. Nonetheless, she is his answer. When Dakota asks, "What do you need?" His answer is "Give JB a home and help me find my killer."

Philosophy of Mathematics from the Pythagoreans to Euclid

Philosophy of Mathematics from the Pythagoreans to Euclid

Barbara M. Sattler

Cambridge University Press
2025
pokkari
This Element looks at the very beginning of the philosophy of mathematics in Western thought. It covers the first reflections on attempts to untie mathematics from its practical usage in administration, commerce, and land-surveying and discusses the first ideas to see mathematical structures as constituents underlying the physical world in the Pythagoreans. The first two sections focus on the epistemic status of mathematical knowledge in relation to philosophical knowledge and on the various ontological positions ancient Greek philosophers in early and classical times ascribe to mathematical objects – from independent and separate entities to mere abstractions and idealisations. Section 3 discusses the paradigmatic role mathematical deductions have played for philosophy, the role of mathematical diagrams, and mathematical methods of interest for philosophers. Section 4, finally, investigates a couple of individual concepts that are fundamental for both philosophy and mathematics, such as infinity.

The Concept of Motion in Ancient Greek Thought

The Concept of Motion in Ancient Greek Thought

Barbara M. Sattler

Cambridge University Press
2020
sidottu
This book examines the birth of the scientific understanding of motion. It investigates which logical tools and methodological principles had to be in place to give a consistent account of motion, and which mathematical notions were introduced to gain control over conceptual problems of motion. It shows how the idea of motion raised two fundamental problems in the 5th and 4th century BCE: bringing together being and non-being, and bringing together time and space. The first problem leads to the exclusion of motion from the realm of rational investigation in Parmenides, the second to Zeno's paradoxes of motion. Methodological and logical developments reacting to these puzzles are shown to be present implicitly in the atomists, and explicitly in Plato who also employs mathematical structures to make motion intelligible. With Aristotle we finally see the first outline of the fundamental framework with which we conceptualise motion today.
