Clever Maids, Fearless Jacks, and a Cat

Clever Maids, Fearless Jacks, and a Cat

Anita Best; Pauline Greenhill; Martin Lovelace

University Press of Colorado

Clever Maids, Fearless Jacks, and a Helpful Cat showcases the stories of two Newfoundland storytellers, Philip Pius Power and Alice Lannon. Ethnopoetic transcriptions of these sensitive and artful tales, which have been passed on orally between generations as part of a community tradition, give accounts of living oral performances from the last quarter of the 20th century and demonstrate the artistry that is possible without the written word. Here, eight tales from Power and five tales from Lannon take up issues of vital concern--such as spousal abuse, bullying, and social and generational conflict--allusively, through a screen of fiction. In commentary following the stories authors Anita Best, Martin Lovelace, and Pauline Greenhill discuss the transmission of fairy tales in oral tradition, address the relation of these magic tales to Lannon's and Power's other stories, and share specifics about Newfoundland storytelling and the two tellers themselves. The text is further enriched by expressive illustrations from artist Graham Blair. Clever Maids, Fearless Jacks, and a Cat presents the fairy-tale oeuvres of two superb storytellers as a contribution to interdisciplinary fairy-tale studies and folklore--countering fairy-tale studies' focus on written traditions and printed texts--as well as to gender studies, cultural studies, Newfoundland studies, and Canadian studies. Students, scholars, and general readers interested in folk and fairy tales, contemporary M rchen, Newfoundland folklore, or oral tradition more generally will find much of value in these pages.

Anita Jean Maxwell never hid her mixed heritage from anyone. As a young lawyer, she always tried to exhibit the best character traits of both her Native American mother and Caucasian father. She knew she could handle any conflicts that would arise between the two cultures. However, a surprise gift that changed her life came from a man she never knew, her father Doctor Jordan Maxwell. She was now the owner of Sky Lake lodge and hundreds of acres of mountain property. The long drive into the mountains was worth the anticipation. She found her Shangri-La and made a new friend, Meg. Anita knew she had come home. Anita was forced to hire a caretaker to look after her property while she attended to legal matters in the city. Brad Halloran disguised his true identity and was hired as her handyman. He hated the deception but it was necessary. The first meeting between Anita and Brad flamed into a passionate love affair. Now, they were both faced with a new set of problems, his family and business vs. her love for her mountain home and a legal career. Anita was forced to examine her values and issues of socials acceptance into his family and his way of life. She knew he loved her, but he was in denial over the potential cultural and racial conflicts with his family that were sure to come. Fortunately, the Halloran family chauffeur became her friend and mentor. He helped her find ways to turn prejudice into love and respect.

Making the Best of Semen

Making the Best of Semen

Argues that regulation of the substance that creates life and spreads harm is crucial in a post-Roe America Controls on sexual reproduction are so familiar. Check out any authority over human lives – religious, medical, sociopolitical, familial, psychological – and you'll find teachings about what people must, shouldn't, may, and may not do with their reproductive organs. In this landscape of control, one active participant has been escaping its share of deserved attention. Semen is the quintessential hazardous substance, a fluid that delivers unique benefit along with unique risk, but until now nobody has set out to control it. In Making the Best of Semen Anita Bernstein sets out to manage a significant fluid that calls for much more attention that it receives. The benefits and harms that semen delivers when it travels onto mucosa are not only extraordinary: they also lie within the reach of regulation. Bernstein lays out the problem of unmentionability that shields semen from controls and documents the upheavals for which this substance is responsible. As the first book to broach regulation of semen, Making the Best of Semen focuses on the rendering of good things that semen regulation could furnish.

När slutet kommer - vill jag bestämma själv! : sanna möten med döden
En död på villkor som man väljer själv. En död utan plågor och ångest. En död utan nedsövning. En medveten död. Allt det där är fullt möjligt, det visar den här boken som helt bygger på sanna berättelser ur verkligheten.I dag är de flesta döende omringade av sjuksköterskor, palliativläkare, stråldoktorer, röntgenläkare, sjukgymnaster, kuratorer, präster, healers och man vet inte allt. Det som är bra med det är förstås att många i bästa fall kan få en god symtomkontroll. Man kan ha god livskvalitet livet ut.Men få sätter sig ner och lyssnar till den döende. Få lyssnar till människors sista vilja att slippa mediciner, sprutor och så vidare. Det är så otroligt mycket lättare att ta till ännu en ny behandling än att se på när en människa långsamt men säkert möter döden.Anita Lanz är cancersjuksköterska från Jämtland. Om sitt arbete som dödsmorska har hon berättat i en tidigare bok, Jag vill dö med en ängel vid min sida, som bland annat uppmärksammades i tv-programmen När livet vänder och Efter tio med Malou. Här visar hon hur man själv kan planera inför livets sista dagar genom att till exempel upprätta ett patienttestamente.Medförfattaren Catarina Baldo Zagadou är journalist och bloggare med djupt engagemang i existentiella och filosofiska frågor.
