Download or read book Scaled for Success written by Philip Hayward and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging from the confluence of Greco-Roman mythology and regional folklore, the mermaid has been an enduring motif in Western culture since the medieval period. It has also been disseminated more widely, initially through Western trade and colonisation and, more recently, through the increasing globalisation of media products and outlets. Scaled for Success offers the first detailed overview of the mermaids dispersal outside Europe. Complementing previous studies of the interrelationship between the mermaid and Mami Wata spirit in West Africa, this volume addresses the mermaids presence in a range of Middle Eastern, Asian, Australian, Latin American and North American contexts. Individual chapters identify the manner in which the mermaid has been variously syncretised and/or resignified in contexts as diverse as Indian public statuary, Thai cinema and Coney Islands annual Mermaid Parade. Rather than lingering as a relic of a bygone age, the mermaid emerges as a versatile, dynamic and, above all, polyvalent figure. Her prominence exemplifies the manner in which contemporary media-lore has extended the currency of established folkloric figures in new and often surprising ways. Analysing aspects of religious symbolism, visual art, literature and contemporary popular culture, this copiously illustrated volume profiles an intriguing and highly diverse phenomenon. Philip Hayward is editor of the journal Shima and holds adjunct professor positions at the University of Technology Sydney and at Southern Cross University. His previous volume, Making a Splash: Mermaids (and Mermen) in 20th and 21st Century Audiovisual Media, was published by John Libbey Publishing/Indiana University Press in 2017.

Download or read book The Prince and I Miss Olive written by William A. Stricklin and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-07 with total page 1075 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prince and I: Miss Olive By: William A. Stricklin William A. Stricklin’s governess from 1938 to 1946, Miss Olive, was previously one of the servants for the daughter and two sons of her widowed friend Sangwan. The oldest son, at nine-years-old, was proclaimed King of Siam Ananda Mahidol Rama VIII in 1935. On June 9, 1946 King Ananda was found shot in the head four days before returning to Switzerland to finish his doctorate degree. His younger brother, Bhumi Adulyadej then ascended the throne as King of Siam Rama IX. As Miss Olive left Siam in 1937, she was not one of the three servants who were falsely executed for King Ananda’s murder. Miss Olive feared telling her side of the story until the passing of King Rama IX in 2016. Respectful of the terms of the “non-fiction contract,” where facts have been forever lost to history,Stricklin presents The Prince and I - Miss Olive as a historical novel. Readers will observe that the book is almost entirely non-fiction and, in any event, remains a fascinating unsolved murder mystery

Download or read book Sumbar on Sumbeach written by Allan McFadden and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-24 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sumbeach on the Gulf of Thailand is home to fishermen, tradesmen, labourers, businessmen, policemen, service providers, expats and tourists all going about their lives in measured tranquillity under the heat of the oriental sun - its bars, restaurants and golf courses overlooked by the towering L’Hotel Majestique. Sumbar, a short walk along the beach, offers upstairs rooms with a sea view, a swimming pool, and cold beers in the noon day sun. For Australian tourist Jack Featherstone, Sumbeach is a locale to relax in, on stop-over to Paris. For wealthy Texan businessman Donald Randalson Jnr, Sumbeach offers a week of golf. For Australian librarians Beatrice Young and Eugene Parry, Sumbeach is a place for unexpected love and the exposure of dark secrets. For English police-woman Amelia Sanderson, Sumbeach is where she’ll search among the expats for a murderer. Overseeing all is Police Captain Choniburshakanari. He knows everything about the activities in his sleepy town, particularly among the expats. Or does he? Sumbeach is an idyllic paradise, though that may be a façade, particularly when the disparate guests celebrate a fortieth birthday at Sumbar on Sumbeach.
