Book Description
Sonia's Legacy: The Lycan Squad Chronicles - Prologue A Teen Female Lycanthrope Werewolf Romance Fantasy Book Series 1712 A family tree, however long and with whatever ramifications, would scarcely seem to need an introduction or a forward. Its use and purpose must be clear to whoever reads its contents. Yet there are events and details in this family tree that do call for some words of explanation and comment. It's also not a genealogy at all unless the genealogist goes back further. It's the story of the Sonia Lycan legacy, stretching from the 18th to the 21st centuries, from England to Barbados to North America, but with an emphasis on North America and the birth of a country, and particularly of those with a romantic past as revolutionaries and fighters for freedom and social justice. The story began in 1712 on the island of Barbados. It took another 292 years to bring her lineage to Degray. Sonia was born in Barbados on the 17th of March 1696, her mother died during childbirth and from there she was raised by her grandmother. While she did not know her father at the time she was born, she did not have an uncommon amount of siblings to contend with. There was an Uncle Muncie, and two cousins named Bascombe and Julian, the last of whom died before Sonia reached her 15th birthday. She did not remember these people. Her life changed radically when she was forced to join the local brothel as a virgin or whore, at the time at the rate of six pounds a year. This is the way many of the genteel and poorer inhabitants of the island lived. It was there that her lineage began: December 12, 1712 2019 The Sonia bloodline will rule through the female, not the male. The firstborn of the union between James and Nancy is expected to be the most powerful female of pure blood in the Sonia line. Her name will be Jamie. Purity is rare within the Sonia bloodline, which is why the ultimate union of James and Nancy is essential for the survival of the Sonia bloodline. The union must be pure in every way, and if Jamie fails in her birthright then the Sonia bloodline will fall, perhaps for good. That is why, when Jamie was born, James and Nancy left Degray. The risk of jeopardizing Jamie's future is too great; she could very well be the last pureblood descendant of the Sonia bloodline. That is when the true battle for the Sonia bloodline begins. Many humans will oppose her at every turn. Some will hate her for being a Sonia bloodline. Others will want to own her in hopes of finding a way to harness the powerful and alluring blood that flows in her veins. It doesn't matter what human thinks or feels for Jamie. She will be forced to defend herself and others from all human threats and forces. Her destiny will be to protect and lead the Sonia bloodline into their highest and most powerful realms. ***** The Lycan Squad Chronicles follows Jamie Ramsay, the only female Lycan at Degray High School through her junior year of high school as she faces the challenges and victories of romance, cheerleading, friendship, and being the girlfriend of the starting quarterback. Jamie and the Lycan Squad confront many social and family issues being faced by teens and young adults including dating & sex, bullying, death, family, friendship, prejudice & racism, self esteem, physical & emotional abuse, violence, peer pressure, siblings, depression, class differences, and new experiences.

Author: Martha C. Nussbaum Publisher: Cambridge University Press ISBN: 113945935X Category : Philosophy Languages : en Pages : 474
Book Description
In this major book Martha Nussbaum, one of the most innovative and influential philosophical voices of our time, proposes a kind of feminism that is genuinely international, argues for an ethical underpinning to all thought about development planning and public policy, and dramatically moves beyond the abstractions of economists and philosophers to embed thought about justice in the concrete reality of the struggles of poor women. Nussbaum argues that international political and economic thought must be sensitive to gender difference as a problem of justice, and that feminist thought must begin to focus on the problems of women in the third world. Taking as her point of departure the predicament of poor women in India, she shows how philosophy should undergird basic constitutional principles that should be respected and implemented by all governments, and used as a comparative measure of quality of life across nations.

Book Description
Addressing a field that has been dominated by astronomers, physicists, engineers, and computer scientists, the contributors to this collection raise questions that may have been overlooked by physical scientists about the ease of establishing meaningful communication with an extraterrestrial intelligence. These scholars are grappling with some of the enormous challenges that will face humanity if an information-rich signal emanating from another world is detected. By drawing on issues at the core of contemporary archaeology and anthropology, we can be much better prepared for contact with an extraterrestrial civilization, should that day ever come.

Book Description
Fifty years after his death, George Orwell is generally recognised as a leading exponent of twentieth-century English prose and one of the most influential satiric writers whose work has continually raised all kinds of political controversies. This volume assembles twelve papers delivered at the VIII Jornadas de Literatura Inglesa at the University of Alcalá in May 2000. The conference set out to re-examine Orwell's work and thought in the light of contemporary theoretical concerns, as well as to discuss the mark he has left in British literature in the second half of the twentieth century, particularly on political satire and the development of dystopian fiction. A first group of essays provides new insights and fresh ways of viewing familiar issues such as Orwell's controversial political thought, the representation of race and gender in his early fiction, the narrative strategies of his documentary prose and the impact of Spanish censorship on his writing, particularly on Homage to Catalonia. Other essays explore the legacy of Orwell's dystopian fiction in later novelists such as Zoë Fairbairns, Alasdair Gray, Robert Harris, Julian Barnes and Ben Elton, as well as issues of history and language that are raised in Orwell's writings and dominate twentieth-century fiction.

Book Description
According to a longstanding interpretation, book religions are agents of textuality and logocentrism. This volume inverts the traditional perspective: its focus is on the strong dependency between scripture and aesthetics, holy books and material artworks, sacred texts and ritual performances. The contributions, written by a group of international specialists in Western, Byzantine, Islamic and Jewish Art, are committed to a comparative and transcultural approach. The authors reflect upon the different strategies of »clothing« sacred texts with precious materials and elaborate forms. They show how the pretypographic cultures of the Middle Ages used book ornaments as media for building a close relation between the divine words and their human audience. By exploring how art shapes the religious practice of books, and how the religious use of books shapes the evolution of artistic practices this book contributes to a new understanding of the deep nexus between sacred scripture and art.

Author: Donna J. Haraway Publisher: Duke University Press ISBN: 0822373785 Category : Social Science Languages : en Pages : 228
Book Description
In the midst of spiraling ecological devastation, multispecies feminist theorist Donna J. Haraway offers provocative new ways to reconfigure our relations to the earth and all its inhabitants. She eschews referring to our current epoch as the Anthropocene, preferring to conceptualize it as what she calls the Chthulucene, as it more aptly and fully describes our epoch as one in which the human and nonhuman are inextricably linked in tentacular practices. The Chthulucene, Haraway explains, requires sym-poiesis, or making-with, rather than auto-poiesis, or self-making. Learning to stay with the trouble of living and dying together on a damaged earth will prove more conducive to the kind of thinking that would provide the means to building more livable futures. Theoretically and methodologically driven by the signifier SF—string figures, science fact, science fiction, speculative feminism, speculative fabulation, so far—Staying with the Trouble further cements Haraway's reputation as one of the most daring and original thinkers of our time.
