A major new look at the work of one of America's foremost self-taught artists

Bill Traylor (ca. 1853-1949) came to art-making on his own and found his creative voice without guidance; today he is remembered as a renowned American artist. Traylor was born into slavery on an Alabama plantation, and his experiences spanned multiple worlds--black and white, rural and urban, old and new--as well as the crucibles that indelibly shaped America--the Civil War, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and the Great Migration. Between Worlds presents an unparalleled look at the work of this enigmatic and dazzling artist, who blended common imagery with arcane symbolism, narration with abstraction, and personal vision with the beliefs and folkways of his time.

Traylor was about twelve when the Civil War ended. After six more decades of farm labor, he moved, aging and alone, into segregated Montgomery. In the last years of his life, he drew and painted works depicting plantation memories and the rising world of African American culture. Upon his death he left behind over a thousand pieces of art. Between Worlds convenes 205 of his most powerful creations, including a number that have been previously unpublished. This beautiful and carefully researched book assesses Traylor's biography and stylistic development, and for the first time interprets his scenes as ongoing narratives, conveying enduring, interrelated themes.

Between Worlds reveals one man's visual record of African American life as a window into the overarching story of his nation.

Winner of the 2010 Distinguished Publication Award from the Association for Women in Psychology

Winner of the 2010 Susan Koppelman Award for the Best Edited Volume in Women’s Studies from the Popular Culture Association
A milestone anthology of fifty-three voices on the burgeoning scholarly movement—fat studies
We have all seen the segments on television news shows: A fat person walking on the sidewalk, her face out of frame so she can't be identified, as some disconcerting findings about the "obesity epidemic" stalking the nation are read by a disembodied voice. And we have seen the movies—their obvious lack of large leading actors silently speaking volumes. From the government, health industry, diet industry, news media, and popular culture we hear that we should all be focused on our weight. But is this national obsession with weight and thinness good for us? Or is it just another form of prejudice—one with especially dire consequences for many already disenfranchised groups?
For decades a growing cadre of scholars has been examining the role of body weight in society, critiquing the underlying assumptions, prejudices, and effects of how people perceive and relate to fatness. This burgeoning movement, known as fat studies, includes scholars from every field, as well as activists, artists, and intellectuals. The Fat Studies Reader is a milestone achievement, bringing together fifty-three diverse voices to explore a wide range of topics related to body weight. From the historical construction of fatness to public health policy, from job discrimination to social class disparities, from chick-lit to airline seats, this collection covers it all.
Edited by two leaders in the field, The Fat Studies Reader is an invaluable resource that provides a historical overview of fat studies, an in-depth examination of the movement’s fundamental concerns, and an up-to-date look at its innovative research.

Описание:

Trials in life are like mountain trails: some are easy, some are moderate, and some are strenuous. Thankfully, God provides a trail map to guide us every step of the way.

Nancy Umberger is a Christian life coach whose life came to a standstill when a 2011 mammogram revealed breast cancer. As she chronically leads others through journal entries that detail the moments and days before and after she received the shocking news, Nancy illustrates how her faith in God helped keep her strong, especially when she felt most vulnerable. While bravely facing her health challenges, Nancy discloses how the Lord walked beside her on a strenuous trail thick with unforgiving terrain as she struggled to ask for help from her family and friends, grieved privately, and prayed to be healed. Throughout her story, Nancy demonstrates to others that although no strenuous trail through life is devoid of obstacles like silent tears, loneliness, fear, discouragement, and pain, it is also full of valuable lessons.

Silent Tears: A Journey of Faith shares a breast cancer survivor's story of hope, faith, and love that serves as a gentle reminder of how Christ can bring joy to our darkest moments.

Описание: Today we think of ukiyo-e - `the pictures of the floating world` - as masterpieces of Japanese art. Yet it is often said that ukiyo-e were little appreciated in their own time. Julie Nelson Davis debunks this myth and demonstrates that ukiyo-e was thoroughly appreciated as a field of artistic production, worthy of connoisseurship by contemporaries.

Fairly early in our work with Equine Assisted Learning, we discovered the

close correlation between business relationships and the roles of horse, driver,

harness, and carriage. While being involved in the sport of carriage driving,

we became aware that many aspects of corporate structures, management

dynamics as well as personal and team relationships parallel aspects

of carriage driving. For example, the roles of a horse and driver can be

comparable to the roles appearing in professional work settings, i.e. workforce

and leadership. Likewise, the functions of harness and carriage parts can be

compared to various functions of people and teams in business models.

Analyzing the characteristics and inter-relatedness of the horse, driver,

harness, and carriage can yield profound insights into the nature

of professional relationships and the impact on business success.

In this manual, we will show characteristics of harness and carriage parts.

We will then demonstrate how to draw on some of the parallels between each

specific harness and carriage component and the working parts of a business.

Through working with the horse and carriage, clients can become more aware

of how they will have a greater chance for success when communication is

clear, staff are well-trained, and equipment is in good working order.

Описание:

Line of Communications is based on the true story of an Air Force Officer who was assigned to a tour of duty in Turkey in 1963. Moreover, it is the story of his young wife and their small children who joined him.

It tells of her heart-wrenching fight to save him from certain death at the hands of the Turkish Government. The desperation she felt and the unfaltering courage she showed while ensnared in a tug of war between two countries--two different worlds--is unimaginable You will feel the fear of two parents when their son was kidnapped

Turkey was at war politically with Cyprus at the time of her husband's deployment. The Turkish Government was resolute in their commitment to force the United States to support the Turkish invasion of Cyprus.

As a means to gain leverage against the United States, the Turkish Government arrested three American military men on trumped-up charges and held them as political prisoners. The Turkish Government, determined to prove they were in control, would escalate the charges according to the amount of pressure the Turkish authorities wished to assert against the United States.

Back home in the United States, there was no mention in the news media about the military men held in prison. It is clear the United States Government was committed to keeping the matter quiet at all costs.This is a poignant story of ardent love, humor, intrigue and unmitigated fear

Описание: When a big-hearted debutante collides with a small-town blacksmith set in his ways, it can mean only one thing-a war of hearts has come to Pine Creek.Cameron Wallace thrives as both the blacksmith and the minister in his community of Pine Creek. Out of the fires of a chaotic childhood, he's forged a peaceful life filled with safe relationships and predictable routines. But when the smithy he's been renting is sold out from under him, the impulsive woman who buys it stokes the embers of emotions he'd rather keep unlit-and even has the audacity to lend a helping hand to his smithy work.Samantha Klein has never been afraid to push boundaries when it comes to helping those whom society-and God-have overlooked, be they orphans, immigrants, or injured animals. When her latest attempt to aid a group of Chinese women lands her in a newspaper scandal, her high-society family sends her packing from Seattle. Setting out on her own, she purchases the Pine Creek smithy and hatches another plan for helping her immigrant friends. But only weeks after arriving in Pine Creek, her plan turns to ashes, and she's overwhelmed by needs she can never hope to meet, including her own need to be seen and cared for. And the one who seems to understand her is the man who won't let her anywhere near his heart, no matter the attraction that burns between them.As Cameron struggles to find a new normal, and Samantha yearns for someone to share her burdens, old hurts and dangerous secrets make them both terrified to admit that what they need-and what God has planned for them-just might be each other.

Описание: Sondra Jones traces the metamorphosis of the Ute people from a society of small, interrelated bands of mobile hunter-gatherers to sovereign, dependent nations—modern tribes who run extensive business enterprises and government services. Weaving together the history of all Ute groups—in Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico—the narrative describes their traditional culture, including the many facets that have continued to define them as a people. Jones emphasizes how the Utes adapted over four centuries and details events, conflicts, trade, and social interactions with non-Utes and non-Indians. Being and Becoming Ute examines the effects of boarding—and public—school education; colonial wars and commerce with Hispanic and American settlers; modern world wars and other international conflicts; battles over federally instigated termination, tribal identity, and membership; and the development of economic enterprises and political power. The book also explores the concerns of the modern Ute world, including social and medical issues, transformed religion, and the fight to perpetuate Ute identity in the twenty-first century.  Neither a portrait of a people frozen in a past time and place nor a tragedy in which vanishing Indians sank into oppressed oblivion, the history of the Ute people is dynamic and evolving. While it includes misfortune, injustice, and struggle, it reveals the adaptability and resilience of an American Indian people.
