Book excerpt: An Interrupted Marriage Magnus Riordan believed his wife could not possibly hurt him any more than she already had—until she finally returned to the home they had shared. It was only then that he truly understood the pain of an undying love—a love clouded forever by half-remembered tragedy, and half-forgotten lies…. This bitter homecoming was becoming more than Jade Riordan could bear. Was her husband's unaccustomed coldness yet another legacy of the accident that had taken so much of her past? Or was there something more—something lost in the dark shadows of her memory?

Book Courtship and Mate finding in Insects

Download or read book Courtship and Mate finding in Insects written by Raymond J.C. Cannon and published by CABI. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores mate-finding and courtship behaviour in the insect world, in all its subtlety and diversity. Insects engage in courtship as much, or as little, as any other animal; they have songs and dances, and all manner of instruments and ornaments to attract and court the opposite sex. Insects have evolved complex chemical and acoustic communication systems, sending fragrant messages, visual signals and subtle vibrations to attract and persuade. Insects also have many different ways and means of choosing or rejecting mating partners. This beautifully illustrated book shows the incredible variety of courtship behaviours and celebrates the wonderful natural history of a wide range of insects. Varieties of courtship can occur before, during and even after copulation, and numerous examples of the different mating strategies used are presented. This landmark volume will be of interest to students of biology, entomologists, naturalists and anyone with a desire to know more about the love lives of the small creatures with which we share the planet.

Book Television Families

    Book Details:
  • Author : William Douglas
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2003-02-26
  • ISBN : 1135642206
  • Pages : 206 pages

Download or read book Television Families written by William Douglas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-02-26 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the analysis that was designed to map the development of the television family and assess its current state and, at the same time, to provide insight into the tangled relationships between fictional and real family life. In order to do this, the investigation examines the evolution of the American family, paying special attention to the postwar family, which is not only used recurrently as a benchmark for assessing the performance of modern families but also constituted television's first generation of families. The investigation also traces the evolution of the popular family in vaudeville, comics, and radio. However, the primary focus of the examination is the development of the television family, from families, such as the Nelsons, Andersons, and Cleavers, to more contemporary families, such as the Huxtables, Conners, and Taylors. The unit of analysis for the investigation is the relationship rather than the individual. Hence, the book deals with the portrayal of spousal, parent-child, and sibling relationships and how those portrayals differ across time and across groups defined by ethnicity, gender, and age. Moreover, the relational analysis is expansive so that television family relationships are examined in regard to power and affect, performance, and satisfaction and stability. Television Families provides a thorough summary and critical review of extant research, designed to promote informed classroom discussion. At the same time, it advances a number of hypotheses and recommendations and, as such, is intended to influence subsequent theory and research in the area. The book is intended for senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and television and family researchers.

Book Whistling in the Dark

  • Author : Jean R. Freedman
  • Publisher : University Press of Kentucky
  • Release : 2021-10-21
  • ISBN : 0813184002
  • Pages : 353 pages

Download or read book Whistling in the Dark written by Jean R. Freedman and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few historical images are more powerful than those of wartime London. Having survived a constant barrage of German bombs, the city is remembered as an island of courage and defiance. These wartime images are still in use today to support a wide variety of political viewpoints. But how well do such descriptions match the memories of those who survived the blitz? Jean Freedman interviewed more than fifty people who remember London during the war, focusing on under-represented groups, including women, Jews, and working-class citizens. In addition she examined original propaganda, secret government documents, wartime diaries, and postwar memoirs. Of particular significance to Freedman were the contemporary music, theater, film, speeches, and radio drama used by the British government to shape public opinion and impart political messages. Such bits of everyday life are mentioned in virtually every civilian's experience of wartime London but their interpretations of them often clashed with their government's intentions. By exploring the differences between wartime documentation and postwar memory, oral and written artifacts, and the voices of the powerful and the obscure, Freedman illuminates the complex interactions between myth and history. She concludes that there are as many interpretations of what really happened during Britain's finest hour as there are people who remember it.
