Download or read book Long Island s Vanished Heiress written by Steven C. Drielak and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-03 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new look at the 1937 abduction of a wealthy wife and mother, based on previously classified FBI documents—includes photos. When she was kidnapped from Long Meadow Farm in Stony Brook, New York, in 1937, Alice McDonell Parsons was the heir to a vast fortune among Long Island’s wealthy elite. The crime shocked the nation and was front-page news for several months. J. Edgar Hoover personally assigned his best FBI agents to the case, and within a short time, Parsons’s husband and their live-in housekeeper, Anna Kupryanova, had become prime suspects. Botched ransom attempts, clashes between authorities, and romantic intrigue kept the investigation mired in drama. The crime remained unsolved. Now, in this book, former Suffolk County detective Steven C. Drielak reveals previously classified FBI documents—and pieces together the mystery of the Alice Parsons kidnapping.
Download or read book Colonialism and the Modernist Moment in the Early Novels of Jean Rhys written by Carol Dell'Amico and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colonialism and the Modernist Moment in the Early Novels of Jean Rhys explores the postcolonial significance of Rhys’s modernist period work, which depicts an urban scene more varied than that found in other canonical representations of the period. Arguing against the view that Rhys comes into her own as a colonial thinker only in the post-WWII period of her career, this study examines the austere insights gained by Rhys’s active cultivation of her fringe status vis-à-vis British social life and artistic circles, where her sharp study of the aporias of marginal lives and the violence of imperial ideology is distilled into an artistic statement positing the outcome of the imperial venture as a state of homelessness across the board, for colonized and ‘metropolitans’ alike. Bringing to view heretofore overlooked émigré populations, or their children, alongside locals, Rhys’s urbanites struggle to construct secure lives not simply as a consequence of commodification, alienation, or voluntary expatriation, but also as a consequence of marginalization and migration. This view of Rhys’s early work asserts its vital importance to postcolonial studies, an importance that has been overlooked owing to an over hasty critical consensus that only one of her early novels contains significant colonial content. Yet, as this study demonstrates, proper consideration of colonial elements long considered only incidental illuminates a colonial continuum in Rhys’s work from her earliest publications.

Download or read book Thomas Beddoes M D 1760 1808 written by D.A. Stansfield and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1984-06-30 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We meet in Thomas Beddoes an able chemist, engaged in a field where impor tant new discoveries were being made; a good doctor eager to fmd experi mentally soun. d ways of healing and to make known the principles of maintaining good health; a vigorous, independent man sharing the hope which the ideas of the French Revolution gave so many 9f his contemporaries. In his life he was a controversial figure and judgement and detached appreciation of his work was often made impossible by anger at his 'revolutionary' political views. It becomes evident that where Beddoes was held in esteem and where he had influence it was not for particular activities but for what he was 'in the round'. With due respect - and with gratitude - to specialist accounts of his achievements as a chemist and of his endeavours to fmd a cure for pulmonary consumption and his efforts to bring about an understanding of the importance of preventive medicine, I have tried in this account to 'see him whole'. Historians of chemistry and of medicine; educationalists; and those concerned with 'women's studies' will each continue to find particular episodes or parts of Beddoes' life of special interest. At the same time I hope this, the first attempt at a biography - for J. E. Stock's 1811 account is truly named "Memoirs" - will add to our understanding of his varied activities.
Download or read book The Edge of Perfection written by Laura Bratcher Goins and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-04-24 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I prayed for the orphans every day, almost every waking moment. I envisioned their sweet faces. After two long years, Anna's dream to start an orphanage in Lazy Spring finally came true. The wide white porch was meticulously swept and gray pots overflowing with red and white flowers graced each side of the red front door. The sign above the door simply read Home. Everything seemed perfect until the unthinkable happened, which forced Anna to come to grips with something she couldn't change. Anna, Mrs. McAfee, and the Monroe family return in this third and final book (following The Edge of Nowhere and The Edge of Despair) where Luke and Anna make decisions that not only impact their future but also of everyone in Lazy Spring and Finley Valley. Lazy Spring elects their first mayor, who not only wears a big black cowboy hat but also has an attitude just as big, while Mrs. McAfee welcomes a visit from her niece, Tori, who has experienced a life-changing tragedy. And along the way, Tori and Anna discover they have something very special in common, and together, they search for relief from situations that can't change. But when Emily Lane shows up in Lazy Spring with two orphan children and Luke Monroe finally steals Anna's heart, Anna sets aside her difficulties and focuses on helping not only these orphans but also many more. Love, hope, and restoration abound when faith and commitment overcome the unchangeable.

Created as a companion to the ongoing retrospective held by the Pordenone Silent Film Festival, 'The Griffith Project 'is now an indispensable guide to his work.

Download or read book The Girl Positive Library written by Mary Ann Harlan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a model of critique useful in readers advisory, collection development, and book clubs, this title encourages the inclusion of young adult titles advancing a positive representation of girls in programming and instruction. Even in an era in which there are multiple and wide-ranging conversations about representations of diverse groups in literature, the depiction of girls in young adult literature has received inadequate attention. This text provides a model for understanding how girls are represented in young adult literature that will aid school and youth services librarians in their personal understanding and awareness as they build collections and create programming. It provides practical suggestions for how to use and implement a feminist lens while reading, discussing, and reviewing titles. Included are a list of recommended annotated titles and discussion questions for use in developing appropriate instructional and interesting programs that explore concepts of girlhood, media literacy programs, and diverse collections.
