Download or read book Queen Bea written by Margaret Blanchard and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-07 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bea Chance is an exceptional woman, inventor and entrepreneur, with a thriving business, successful marriage and four grown children: Dick, her right-hand man; Bruce, a Vietnam veteran; Corey, her only daughter, and John, a disc jockey. A musician and pioneer in technology, she combined her musical and computer expertise to develop a system for musical composition and simultaneous recording and playback which she applied to the teaching of music in schools. When she decides suddenly to retire, partially in response to the death of her husband, her departure sends her family and her corporate, as well as corporeal, systems into chaos. This novel describes how she moves from being a woman with power to becoming a powerful, compassionate woman. Her personal transformation, in turn, has dynamic effects on her own mother, Mildred; her children; her co-worker and left-hand woman, Clare; and her friend Pearl. A reflection on gender and power, loss, metamorphosis and love, this novel explores issues of mothering, inheritance, and generation for modern women. An "oppositional narrative" based on Shakespeare's King Lear, Queen Bea explores what happens when the king becomes a queen and when an ancient tale is translated into a contemporary idiom. "Blanchard's book is bound to become a classic for women's studies and contemporary literature courses alike because it grounds an engaging second wave feminist novel in explicating essays that both honor and explode the typical canon of options used." -Ida Kialutsi, artist and professor

Book excerpt: Beware the women who are called witches, or those who claim the name for themselves... Banshees - a howling night-witch and harbinger of death; She-devils - Lilith and her daughters; or Bitches - Hecate, whose chariot is drawn by dogs. Alluring women, enchantresses, seekers of revenge, wise old women and badly-behaved girls. As Shahrukh Husain says, witches are 'womanhood in all its complexity'. Over fifty stories of crones and nixies, shape shifters and beauties are here, including the loving fox witch of Japan; Italy's Witch-Bea-Witch; Scotland's Goodwife of Laggan; Biddy Earl and the terrifying Kali and Baba Yaga who comes in many forms to haunt, entice, possess, transform and challenge. From every corner of the globe, with tom-foolery, fun, strife and victory, these folklore and legends celebrate women who step out of line.

Download or read book The Dark Matter of Children s Fantastika Literature written by Chloe Germaine and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-21 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the material turn in the humanities, this book brings perspectives from science and ecology into dialogue with children's fiction written and published in the UK and the USA in the 21st century. It develops the concept of entanglement, which originated in 20th-century quantum physics but has been applied to cultural critique, through a reading of Fantastika literature. Surveying a wide-ranging scope of literary texts, this book covers the gothic, fantasy, the Weird, and other forms of speculative fiction to argue that Fantastika positions entanglement as an ethical imperative that transforms our imaginative relationship with materiality. In so doing, it synthesizes perspectives from a similarly diverse range of areas, including ecology, physics, anthropology, and literary studies, to examine the storied matter of children's Fantastika as ground from which we might begin to imagine an as-yet-unrealised future that addresses the problems of our present.

Download or read book The Molecular Switch written by Rob Phillips and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A signature feature of living organisms is their ability to carry out purposeful actions by taking stock of the world around them. To that end, cells have an arsenal of signaling molecules linked together in signaling pathways, which switch between inactive and active conformations. The Molecular Switch articulates a biophysical perspective on signaling, showing how allostery—a powerful explanation of how molecules function across all biological domains—can be reformulated using equilibrium statistical mechanics, applied to diverse biological systems exhibiting switching behaviors, and successfully unify seemingly unrelated phenomena. Rob Phillips weaves together allostery and statistical mechanics via a series of biological vignettes, each of which showcases an important biological question and accompanying physical analysis. Beginning with the study of ligand-gated ion channels and their role in problems ranging from muscle action to vision, Phillips then undertakes increasingly sophisticated case studies, from bacterial chemotaxis and quorum sensing to hemoglobin and its role in mammalian physiology. He looks at G-protein coupled receptors as well as the role of allosteric molecules in gene regulation. Phillips concludes by surveying problems in biological fidelity and offering a speculative chapter on the relationship between allostery and biological Maxwell demons. Appropriate for graduate students and researchers in biophysics, physics, engineering, biology, and neuroscience, The Molecular Switch presents a unified, quantitative model for describing biological signaling phenomena.
