I början av 1800-talet blev romanläsandet en populär sysselsättning. Nya tryckmetoder och bättre kommunikationer spred den nya underhållningsformen. Tekniska och vetenskapliga framsteg som järnvägar och elektricitet, tillsammans med spiritism och andra flugor, förändrade världen. Horace Walpole hade skrivit sin skräckroman Borgen i Otranto några årtionden tidigare, och 1818 kom Mary Shelleys Frankenstein. Sådana böcker blev början till en våg av gotisk skräck i framför allt Storbritannien mer eller mindre övernaturliga berättelser i miljöer med vittrande slott, åskväder, sönderslitna moln och månsken över upprörda hav, alltsammans befolkat av hålögda adelsmän och bleka jungfrur. Många av de som skrev gotisk skräck var kvinnor, och några av dem finns i den här samlingen. Inte bara deras noveller och romaner var förfärande och utmanande, utan kanske ännu mer deras sätt att leva: ogifta; boende ensamma; boende med gifta män; till och med boende med andra kvinnor! Novellerna i boken är skrivna mellan 1840- och 90-talen, av författare som systrarna Brontë, George Eliot och Charlotte Perkins Gilman, och förtjänar mycket väl att läsas än i dag.

Praise for Effective Instruction for STEM Disciplines "The world of today's learners is a multimode, information-intensive universe of interactive bursts and virtual exchanges, yet our teaching methods retain the outdated characteristics of last generation's study-and-drill approach. New pedagogical methods, detailed and justified in this groundbreaking work, are essential to prepare students to confront the concerns of the future. The book challenges our traditional assumptions and informs the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) community of the latest research on how the brain learns and retains information, how enhanced student engagement with subject material and its context is essential to deep learning, and how to use this knowledge to structure STEM education approaches that work." ?DAVID V. KERNS, JR., Franklin and Mary Olin Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and founding provost, Olin College "Every STEM faculty member should have this book. It provides a handy introduction to the 'why and how' of engaging students in the learning process." ?DAVID VOLTMER, professor emeritus, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, and American Society for Engineering Education Fellow "The poor quality of math and science education and the shortage of well-qualified graduates are acknowledged almost daily in the U.S. press. Here the authors provide much-needed insights for educators seeking to improve the quality of STEM education as well as to better prepare students to solve the problems they will confront in our increasingly technology-driven world." ?KEITH BUFFINTON, interim dean of engineering, Bucknell University

Mary Ellen is the life story of author Mary Baird Mayer's mother and granddaughter of Isabelle Dahl Anderson Sletten, who immigrated from Sweden in the mid-1800's to build a strong family on the prairie of Dakota Territory. Delivered by Isabelle following a 1918 summer rainstorm after which no doctor could travel the muddy roads, Mary Ellen is initiated into prairie life from her first breath and, through love and hardship, blossoms in her grandmother's lineage as heroine of the author's second ancestral novel.Writing with impeccable detail, Mayer-Mary Ellen's namesake-gives voice to historical times where records only exist piecemeal, if at all, in tattered photographs, newspaper clippings, Bibles and letters handed down, and other miscellaneous treasures uploaded to ancestry websites. In contrast, Mary Ellen captures the feeling of early 1900s America, such that we sense ourselves standing on the farmland, reckoning with the elements, and seeing life through the hearts, minds, and American Dreams of those who came before us. Their similar romantic hopes, love of family, and determination to survive blaze the trail to deep gratitude, not only for modern conveniences but also for the exquisite gift of legacy that makes us who we are today.

Mary Ellen Bute: Pioneer Animator captures the personal and professional life of Mary Ellen Bute (1906–1983) one of the first American filmmakers to create abstract animated films in 1934, also one of the first Americans to use the electronic image of the oscilloscope in films starting in 1949, and the first filmmaker to interpret James Joyce's literature for the screen, Passages from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, a live-action film for which she won a Cannes Film Festival Prize in 1965. Bute had an eye for talent and selected many creative people who would go on to be famous. She hired Norman McLaren to hand paint on film for the animation of her Spook Sport, 1939, before he left to head the animation department of the Canadian Film Board. She cast the now famous character actor Christopher Walken at age fourteen as the star of her short live-action film, The Boy Who Saw Through, 1958. Also, Bute enlisted Elliot Kaplan to compose the film score of her Finnegans Wake before he moved on to compose music for TV's Fantasy Island and Ironside. This biography drawn from interviews with Bute's family, friends, and colleagues, presents the personal and professional life of the filmmaker and her behind-the-scenes process of making animated and live action films.
