After the devastating tidal wave of 1929, followed by the onset of a world-wide Great Depression, the hopes of the town of St. Lawrence, Newfoundland, rest on the future of a fluorspar mine. Donald Poynter is hired to oversee the operation, and he travels with his new bride, Urla, from a bustling life in New Jersey to the small, struggling outport community.Based on a true story, Dancing in a Jar elaborates the real-life love affair of a young couple committed to one another and to their new surroundings. As her narrative unfolds in a series of letters and correspondences, Adele Poynter weaves a remarkable romantic tale through the life of a small mining town--capturing the sorrow and joyousness, the hardship and perseverance--to ultimately reveal how the loves of our lives are inherently united with our love of a landscape and its people.
1992 Myers Center Outstanding Book on Human RightsHistorians have produced scores of studies on white men, extraordinary white women, and even the often anonymous mass of enslaved Black people in the United States. But in this innovative work, Adele Logan Alexander chronicles there heretofore undocumented dilemmas of one of nineteenth-century America’s most marginalized groups—free women of color in the rural South.Ambiguous Lives focuses on the women of Alexander’s own family as representative of this subcaste of the African-American community. Their forbears, in fact, included Africans, Native Americans, and whites. Neither black nor white, affluent nor impoverished, enslaved nor truly free, these women of color lived and died in a shadowy realm situated somewhere between the legal, social, and economic extremes of empowered whites and subjugated blacks. Yet, as Alexander persuasively argues, these lives are worthy of attention precisely because of these ambiguities—because the intricacies, gradations, and subtleties of their anomalous experience became part of the tangled skein of American history and exemplify our country’s endless diversity, complexity, and self-contradictions.Written as a “reclamation” of a long-ignored substratum of our society, Ambiguous Lives is more than the story of one family—it is a well-researched and fascinating profile of America, its race and gender relations, and its complex cultural weave.
A stirring memoir of a young, single woman's laborious struggle to save her family’s New England apple farm from going under during the Great Depression. The Orchard is an exquisitely beautiful and poignant memoir of a young woman’s single-handed struggle to save her New England farm in the depths of the Great Depression. Discovered by the author’s daughter after the author’s death, it tells the story of Adele “Kitty” Robertson, young and energetic, but unprepared by her Radcliffe education for the rigors of apple farming in those bitter years of the early 1930s. Alone at the end of a country road, with only a Great Dane for company, plagued by debts, broken machinery, and killing frosts, Kitty revives the old orchard after years of neglect. Every day is a struggle, but every day she is also rewarded by the beauty of the world and the unexpected kindness of neighbors and hired workers. Animated by quiet courage and simple goodness, The Orchard is a deeply moving celebration of decency and beauty in the midst of grim prospects and crushing poverty. In addition to a foreword and epilogue by Betsy Robertson Cramer, the author's daughter, this Nonpareil edition includes a new afterword by award-winning author Jane Brox.
As the Roman-appointed high priest who had a hand in orchestrating Jesus's Crucifixion, Caiaphas secured his place in infamy alongside Pontius Pilate. Viewing Caiaphas as more than just a one-dimensional villain, Adele Reinhartz offers a thorough reconsideration of representations of Caiaphas in the Gospels and other ancient texts as well as in subsequent visual arts, literature, film, and drama.

Conceptual Structure, Discourse and Language

This collection of papers is the result of the first Conceptual Structure, Discourse and Language conference (CSDL) held at the University of California, San Diego. The conference brought together researchers from both 'Cognitive' and 'Functional' approaches to linguistics. The papers in this volume span a variety of topics, but the common thread running through them is the claim that semantics and discourse properties are fundamental to the understanding of language. The themes presented in the volume include an emphasis on the dynamic nature of language, the relevance of a notion of viewpoint in grammatical analysis, the role and nature of metaphor and cognitive blend, the possibility of non-derivational ways to capture relationships among constructions and the importance of lexical semantics. This volume will appeal to a wide range of linguists, echoing the theme of the conference - bringing together two diverse approaches to linguistics.
"M*A*S*H" meets "Scrubs" in a sharply observant, darkly funny, and totally unique debut memoir from physical therapist Adele Levine. In her six years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Adele Levine rehabilitated soldiers admitted in worse and worse shape. As body armor and advanced trauma care helped save the lives--if not the limbs--of American soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, Walter Reed quickly became the world leader in amputee rehabilitation. But no matter the injury, physical therapy began the moment the soldiers emerged from surgery. Days at Walter Reed were intense, chaotic, consuming, and heartbreaking, but they were also filled with camaraderie and humor. Working in a glassed-in fishbowl gymnasium, Levine, her colleagues, and their combat-injured patients were on display at every moment to tour groups, politicians, and celebrities. Some would shudder openly at the sight--but inside the glass and out of earshot, the PTs and the patients cracked jokes, played pranks, and compared stumps. With dazzling storytelling, "Run, Don't Walk" introduces a motley array of oddball characters including: Jim, a retired lieutenant-colonel who stays up late at night baking cake after cake, and the militant dietitian who is always after him; a surgeon who only speaks in farm analogies; a therapy dog gone rogue; --and Levine's toughest patient, the wild, defiant Cosmo, who comes in with one leg amputated and his other leg shattered. Entertaining, engrossing, and ultimately inspiring, "Run, Don't Walk" is a fascinating look into a hidden world.
Adele Slaughter’s first book of poems, What the Body Remembers, was published by Story Line Press in 1994. It is an autobiographical collection of glimpses into a childhood fraught with familial violence, alcoholism, and trauma, and the life that has been led in its wake; the failure of a marriage and the experiences that forever mold us as human beings. Through all the abuse and suffering these poems portray, however, the driving theme behind What the Body Remembers never falters: the reader is left with an inspiring picture of courage, perseverance, femininity, and the survival of the truest self. The subject of the work remains always the poet, the speaker, even as great attention is drawn to the circumstance surrounding her, providing an impactful example of how our greatest pains may leave us changed, but not defined, and never defeated. Pat Monaghan called the book “a stunning debut volume.”

An initiatory journey to unite the Feminine and Masculine within your soul and discover the Divine Love within. Many of us are feeling incompleteness at the soul level and experiencing the urgent need to restore the feminine part of our souls. But this missing part cannot be found by looking outside the self, by seeking love from another, whether, romantic, familial, or spiritual. Nor can it be found by replacing masculine energy with feminine. The lack we feel can only be healed by rediscovering Divine Love, the union of Feminine and Masculine, within each of us and activating our memories of who we truly are. Leading you on a step-by-step initiatory journey, Adele Venneri reveals how Mary Magdalene, or Myriam, is not a biblical myth, but an ancient frequency of the soul. She explains how she awakened to Myriam and was transformed from seeking outward love, which only led to suffering, to realizing that true love, true self, comes from within. Through ancestral knowledge, embedded with the frequency of Myriam, the author shows you how to stop judging and forgive yourself, reunite your feminine and your masculine, merge your light body into the physical body, and rediscover your complete soul by embodying the Magdalene frequency. She reveals new Akashic rooms where you can become aware of your multidimensionality, learn to create your own reality, and connect with Myriam and feminine and masculine archetypes. Revealing how to become the love you are rather than the love you seek, how to take on the responsibility for being the Creator of your own life, this alchemical text will transform you through the Magdalene Frequency and teach you at the soul level that you are worthy, you are joy, you are what you have always sought.
