HMS Queen Elizabeth 2 is the most celebrated craft afloat and one of the greatest technical achievements of the 20th century. In her construction and maintenance are involved almost every science, profession, and trade known to civilisation. On her bridge stand officers, who besides being the pick of the Royal Navy, have passed rigid examinations in all studies pertaining to winds, tides, currents, navigation, and the geography of the sea. For 91 days, author Bernard M Patten MD, sailed around the world on this ultimate cruise ship. What was it like onboard this most luxurious of luxury liners? "Marvellous, simply marvellous", he assures the reader with obvious enthusiasm that spills off every page. Determined to give the reader the complete QE2 experience, Patten and his wife Ethel systematically stayed in progressively better accommodations from the least expensive class (Mauritania 5) to the Penthouse Suite, which included their own butlers, Geoffrey and Paul. Along with the Pattens, readers will experience (vicariously) every deck, every restaurant, and every level of luxury that this incredible ocean liner has to offer. Whether you are a cruise buff, or planning your own stay aboard this fabulous ship, or just want to take a trip in your imagination on a cold rainy night, "Cruising on the Queen Elizabeth 2" will provide you with interesting information, entertaining stories, and ample pleasures.

The Life and Times of Elizabeth Upham Yates

The Life and Times of Elizabeth Upham Yates

Elizabeth Upham Yates (1857–1942) was a nationally known reformer in the United States in the fields of temperance, women’s suffrage, simple living, and missionary work. The Life and Times of Elizabeth Upham Yates: A Crusader for Women’s Suffrage, Temperance, and Missionary Work documents Yates’s life from her coastal Maine origins through her missionary activities in China in the 1880s to her political career in the 1920s. Upon her return from China to the United States, Yates’s reputation grew as a master orator who stirred the suffrage spirit on campaign trails across the country. In 1920, the first year that women could campaign for office in Rhode Island, she ran for the Democratic ticket for lieutenant governor, earning 50,000 votes. She railed against jingoists like Theodore Roosevelt in the New York Times and chastised male political leadership for ignoring the lynching crisis. During her long career, her suffrage sisters memorialized her as a “prophet and a dreamer.” Shannon M. Risk draws on sources ranging from regional histories and shipping passenger manifests to archival papers at the Library of Congress and Yates’s own writing to shed new light on this suffragist’s life and work.

"Ich bin eine alte Frau. Ich habe keine Zeit mehr, zu sagen, was ich nicht meine." Elizabeth Costello, eine 66-jährige australische Romanautorin von internationalem Ansehen - fiktive Spielfigur von J.M. Coetzee - , nutzt Einladungen, als Gastrednerin auf Kongressen, Symposien oder auch schon einmal auf einer Kreuzfahrt aufzutreten, um ihre eigene, gelegentlich schroffe und ethisch rigorose Menschheitsfragen zu manifestieren. Ihre Vorträge z.B. über die Humanwissenschaften in Afrika, die Darstellung des Bösen in der Literatur, das Erotische, Formen des Romans, den Missbrauch der Tiere durch den Menschen - irritieren in ihrer Ratlosigkeit und provozieren. Denn viele von Elizabeths Haltungen gründen nicht in einer intellektuell stringenten Position, sondern im Intuitiven: "Überzeugungen sind nicht die alleinigen ethischen Stützen, die wir haben. Wir können uns auch auf unser Herz verlassen." Zwischen Fiktion und Essay oszillierend, repräsentieren diese Lehrstücke, wie Coetzee seine Erkundungen zu Leben und Meinungen von Elizabeth Costello nennt, eine erzählerisch reizvolle und listige Form des ethischen Diskurses.

A celebration of printmaker LaToya M. Hobbs featuring a suite of life-size woodcut prints Carving Out Time is a monumental print series by LaToya M. Hobbs (b. 1983), a painter and printmaker based in Baltimore. This publication—the first of its kind on the artist—presents the series in full, with commentary on both Hobbs’s practice and broader themes pertinent to her work and to the field of contemporary printmaking. Unfolding over five scenes, Hobbs’s towering woodcuts depict a day in her life with her husband and their two children. Hobbs extends the intimacy of her private life, centering the negotiations she brokers daily to balance her responsibilities as a wife, mother, educator, and artist—a contemplation of nuanced concepts of time and labor that is at once deeply personal and universal. The book serves as an art historical guide to Hobbs’s daily conversation with sculpture, paintings, and prints by visionary Black artists including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Elizabeth Catlett, and Kerry James Marshall living within this print series, depicted on the walls and bookshelves in the family home.
