Alienor in Aquitaine: Book 1 of The History of Eleanor of Aquitaine

"Having shared many years with Queen Ali nor, exposed night and day to her brilliant mind, her lively wit, and her pithy observations on the nature of mankind as she recalled the events of her life, I am left only with memories.. "But what memories "Not a day passes that I do not recall one of the many tales of her adventures...her many youthful recollections of those events, histories, and tragedies that occurred in her beloved Aquitaine." So begins the story by a contemporary storyteller that gives new insights into the early life of the legendary Duchess of Aquitaine, a young woman who by personality and circumstance was far ahead of her time: high-spirited, willful, and intelligent, and the richest marriage prize in Europe. It is a story of a young girl coming of age, set against a historically accurate background, filled with captivating accounts of family scandals and gossip, adventures and lessons, music and romance. In a world inhabited by handsome young squires, lively troubadours, powerful lords and churchmen, it vividly brings the twelfth century to life around young Ali as she learns how to rule: first a household and then the vast duchy of Aquitaine. Caught up in the struggles between men of political and ecclesiastic power, at the very center of a culture where marriages are arranged and women have little or no say about anything, Ali finds that love is possible, but so is heartbreak as her wish to rule Aquitaine struggles with desire. Having learned that duty is the highest measure of honor, she must find a way to come to terms with the force of men who hold all the power.

The Blueprints of God: Science and Math Encoded in the Bible

The Blueprints of God: Science and Math Encoded in the Bible

Roberta Ruth Hill

The Bible is loaded with many blueprints and intricate designs that form very detailed schematics in the universal languages of science and math. It is interesting and somewhat perplexing that many people are not taught to read the Bible from this higher level of understanding. It is the scientific and mathematical language that explains God's universe in a way that is clearly irrefutable proof as to the truth of God's Word. To read the Bible from just strictly a literal point of view is likened to a child that is just learning to read books for the first time, although the child is learning the basics of reading the words they still do not understand the more complex examples of allegory, metaphors and the more complex symbolic undertones within the stories. Reading the Bible from the symbolic level helps us to gain a better understanding of the stories in the Bible, and perhaps the most valuable symbolic way of reading the Bible is to look at everything from a scientific and mathematical perspective. Science and math can not lie and are the most direct proof to show Divine design.This book shows many of the scientific and mathematical blueprints hidden within the Bible. This book is based on years of research and the many discoveries that I made along the way. I reveal the 24 tone Solfeggio scale and how to use these tones to raise the vibratory rate of the Earth.

Black Baseball, Black Business

Black Baseball, Black Business

Roberta J. Newman; Joel Nathan Rosen

University Press of Mississippi
2015
nidottu
Roberta J. Newman and Joel Nathan Rosen have written an authoritative social history of the Negro Leagues. This book examines how the relationship between black baseball and black businesses functioned, particularly in urban areas with significant African American populations--Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Newark, New York, Philadelphia, and more. Inextricably bound together by circumstance, these sports and business alliances faced destruction and upheaval.Once Jackie Robinson and a select handful of black baseball's elite gained acceptance in Major League Baseball and financial stability in the mainstream economy, shock waves traveled throughout the black business world. Though the economic impact on Negro League baseball is perhaps obvious due to its demise, the impact on other black-owned businesses and on segregated neighborhoods is often undervalued if not outright ignored in current accounts. There have been many books written on great individual players who played in the Negro Leagues and/or integrated the Major Leagues. But Newman and Rosen move beyond hagiography to analyze what happens when a community has its economic footing undermined while simultaneously being called upon to celebrate a larger social progress. In this regard, Black Baseball, Black Business moves beyond the diamond to explore baseball's desegregation narrative in a critical and wide-ranging fashion.

A Locker Room of Her Own

A Locker Room of Her Own

Roberta J. Newman

University Press of Mississippi
2016
nidottu
Female athletes are too often perceived as interlopers in the historically male-dominated world of sports. Obstacles specific to women are of particular focus in A Locker Room of Her Own. Race, sexual orientation, and the similar qualities ancillary to gender bear special exploration in how they impact an athlete's story. Central to this volume is the contention that women in their role as inherent outsiders are placed in a unique position even more complicated than the usual experiences of inequality and discord associated with race and sports. The contributors explore and critique the notion that in order to be considered among the pantheon of athletic heroes one cannot deviate from the traditional demographic profile, that of the white male. These essays look specifically and critically at the nature of gender and sexuality within the contested nexus of race, reputation, and sport. The collection explores the reputations of iconic and pioneering sports figures and the cultural and social forces that helped to forge their unique and often problematic legacies. Women athletes discussed in this volume include Babe Didrikson Zaharias, the women of the AAGPBL, Billie Jean King, Venus and Serena Williams, Marion Jones, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, Sheryl Swoopes, Florence Griffith Joyner, Roberta Gibb and Kathrine Switzer, and Danica Patrick.

More than Cricket and Football

More than Cricket and Football

Roberta J. Park; Jack Lule

University Press of Mississippi
2016
sidottu
Given the presumed dominance of American sport, many fans throughout the hemisphere find it difficult to envision the role of sport beyond the confines of their own continent. And yet, world sport consists of so much more than the games Americans play and so much more than the stereotype of cricket for the elite and football for the working class. As worldwide sport continues to gain in popularity, we also see parallels to many aspects visible in North American sport, particularly celebrity and all its trappings and pitfalls.The success of athletes from other countries in basketball and ice hockey, and the proliferation of stars imported and now exported to and from North America, provides some better examples of sport's international power. It also creates a very new kind of sport celebrity, albeit one that often shows a rather limited reach beyond that star's own country or continent. Thus, rather than focusing on the Western Hemisphere, this collection of some of world sport's most heralded celebrities (including stars of Motocross, surfing, distance running, and more) serves as a sort of passport to many places that make up our global sporting environment.

Twenty-First Century Feminisms in Children's and Adolescent Literature

Twenty-First Century Feminisms in Children's and Adolescent Literature

Roberta Seelinger Trites

University Press of Mississippi
2018
sidottu
Over twenty years after the publication of her groundbreaking work, Waking Sleeping Beauty: Feminist Voices in Children’s Novels, Roberta Seelinger Trites returns to analyze how literature for the young still provides one outlet in which feminists can offer girls an alternative to sexism. Supplementing her previous work in the linguistic turn, Trites employs methodologies from the material turn to demonstrate how feminist thinking has influenced literature for the young in the last two decades. She interrogates how material feminism can expand our understanding of maturation and gender – especially girlhood – as represented in narratives for preadolescents and adolescents. Twenty-First-Century Feminisms in Children’s and Adolescent Literature applies principles behind material feminisms, such as ecofeminism, intersectionality, and the ethics of care, to analyze important feminist thinking that permeates twenty-first-century publishing for youth. The structure moves from examinations of the individual to examinations of the individual in social, environmental, and interpersonal contexts. The book deploys ecofeminism and the posthuman to investigate how embodied individuals interact with the environment and via the extension of feministic ethics how people interact with each other romantically and sexually.Throughout the book, Trites explores issues of identity, gender, race, class, age, and sexuality in a wide range of literature for young readers, such as Kate DiCamillo’s Flora and Ulysses, Jacqueline Woodson’s Brown Girl Dreaming, and Rainbow Rowell’s Eleanor & Park. She demonstrates how shifting cultural perceptions of feminism affect what is happening both in publishing for the young and in the academic study of literature for children and adolescents.
