The Queen's Pawn

The Queen's Pawn

Christy English

Berkley Publishing Corporation,U.S.
2010
pokkari
A historical novel of the legendary Eleanor of Aquitaine and the one person she loved more than power-her rival for the throne. At only nine, Princess Alais of France is sent to live in England until she is of age to wed Prince Richard, son of King Henry II and Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. Alais is an innocent pawn on the chessboard of dynastic marriage, her betrothal intended to broker an uneasy truce between the nations. Estranged from her husband, Eleanor sees a kindred spirit in this determined young girl. She embraces Alais as a daughter, teaching the princess what it takes to be a woman of power in a world of men. But as Alais grows to maturity and develops ambitions of her own, Eleanor begins to see her as a threat-and their love for each other becomes overshadowed by their bitter rivalry, dark betrayals, conflicting passions, and a battle for revenge over the throne of England itself.

Revolution in Development

Revolution in Development

Christy Thornton

University of California Press
2021
sidottu
One of The Chronicle of Higher Education's Best Scholarly Books of 2021Revolution in Development uncovers the surprising influence of postrevolutionary Mexico on the twentieth century's most important international economic institutions. Drawing on extensive archival research in Mexico, the United States, and Great Britain, Christy Thornton meticulously traces how Mexican officials repeatedly rallied Third World leaders to campaign for representation in global organizations and redistribution through multilateral institutions. By decentering the United States and Europe in the history of global economic governance, Revolution in Development shows how Mexican economists, diplomats, and politicians fought for more than five decades to reform the rules and institutions of the global capitalist economy. In so doing, the book demonstrates, Mexican officials shaped not only their own domestic economic prospects but also the contours of the project of international development itself.

The Taste of Water

The Taste of Water

Christy Spackman

University of California Press
2023
sidottu
Have you ever wondered why your tap water tastes the way it does? The Taste of Water explores the increasing erasure of tastes from drinking water over the twentieth century. It asks how dramatic changes in municipal water treatment have altered consumers’ awareness of the environment their water comes from. Through examining the development of sensory expertise in the United States and France, this unique history uncovers the foundational role of palatability in shaping Western water treatment processes. By focusing on the relationship between taste and the environment, Christy Spackman shows how efforts to erase unwanted tastes and smells have transformed water into a highly industrialized food product divorced from its origins. The Taste of Water invites readers to question their own assumptions about what water does and should naturally taste like while exposing them to the invisible—but substantial—sensory labor involved in creating tap water.

Inigo Jones and the Classical Tradition

Inigo Jones and the Classical Tradition

Christy Anderson

Cambridge University Press
2010
pokkari
Inigo Jones worked as hard on the creation of his architectural persona as he did on the design of the buildings for the early Stuart court. Through his study of continental architectural and art theory, humanist education, and courtly behavior, Jones redefined the intellectual status of architecture in England and forged a new role for the architect in public life. Since his death, he has been variously described as the first educated architect, the first classicist, the first Renaissance architect in Britain, and the savior of British building from the long winter of the Elizabethan style. This reputation has overlooked the many ways that Jones drew on English customs in order to shape classical architecture for a domestic audience. This 2006 book explores the creation of Jones as professional architect and the development of classical architecture in England through a study of his reading, writing, and architectural practice.

Native American Drama

Native American Drama

Christy Stanlake

Cambridge University Press
2010
pokkari
The recent rise in publications and professional productions of Native American plays moves Native theatre from specific, cultural communities into larger, more generalized audiences, who quickly discover that Native plays are uniquely different from mainstream drama. This is because Native theatre is its own field of drama, one that enacts Native intellectual traditions existing independently from western drama yet capable of extending mainstream theatrical theories. This study contends that Native dramaturgy possesses a network of distinctive discourses pertaining to Native American philosophies and relating to theatre's performative medium. Following an introduction that traces Native American theatre history from the 1900s to today, Native American Drama moves into a critical examination of Native dramaturgy. The study privileges voices of Native literary theorists, including Gerald Vizenor, Robert Allen Warrior, and LeAnne Howe, to introduce four Native discourses - platiality, storying, tribalography, and survivance - that intersect performative elements of space, speech, action, and movement.

Unrequited-One Girl, Thirteen Boyfriends, and Vodka.

Christy Heron

Easiest Hardest Publishing and Waverly Blonde
2014
nidottu
You may think Unrequited is your typical "Romance" novel, but it's not. January Estlin doesn't live in New York City. Her life doesn't involve vampires or a roll-your-eyes, unrealistic sex life, and she doesn't date overdramatic, complicated billionaires. January dates who you date and when you read Unrequited you'll say, "Omg, I've been through that, right? I know exactly what she means." Unrequited, a contemporary "Anti-Romance" novel from Christy Heron, is a funny, fresh, sexy, true-to-life story, told through the eyes of our main character, twenty-something January. Within a year of meeting Jack (a year filled with lascivious sex and drama) January quits her job and moves from Los Angeles to Jack's hometown. Problem is, he has a girlfriend, while January is single and desperately in love with him. She parties and dates as often as she puts her car key in the ignition. You'll read January's drunken, late night texts, personal diary entries while she encounters boyfriends, girlfriends, and a Black Sea of Ketel One. Will January Estlin move on and grow up, or decant the rest of her life into a champagne flute, while pursuing the unattainable?
