Описание: Females and Harry Potter is a deconstruction of the representations of women's agency in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Using critical discourse analysis and focusing on five themes (rule following and breaking, intelligence, validating and enabling, mothering, and resistance), Mayes-Elma explores the construction of traditional gender roles in the book. Additionally, the author locates the foundations of feminist epistemology-binary oppositions, gender boundaries, and woman as "other"-that is deeply embedded within the book's themes. Traditional gender constructions of both men and women are found throughout the Sorcerer's Stone. Ultimately, the book explores the sexism inherent in the Harry Potter series: a hero and his male friends are the focus and center of activity and the female characters are enablers-at best. Passive and invisible female characters exist only as bodies, "bound" by traditional gender conventions; they resist evil, but never gender stereotypes. Mayes-Elma concludes with a discussion of the implications for development of school curricula that enable students to critically deconstruct these texts.

Описание: "I always imagine each of the signoras who lived in this house—where she shelled peas, rocked the grandchild, placed a vase of the pink roses. Now I would like to take one of these women back to my house in California to show her how "Bramasole" traveled to America and took root, how the doors there are open to the breeze from San Pablo bay and to the distant view of Mount Tamalpais, how the table has expanded and the garden has burgeoned… " The “bard of Tuscany” ("New York Times") now offers a lavishly illustrated book for everyone who dreams of integrating the Tuscan lifestyle—from home decoration and cooking, to eating and drinking, to gardening, socializing, and celebrating—into their own lives. When Frances Mayes fell in love with Tuscany and "Bramasole," millions of readers basked in the experience through her three bestselling memoirs. Now Frances and her husband, "In Tuscany "coauthor Edward, share the essence of Tuscan life as they have lived it, with specific ideas and inspiration for readers stateside to bring the beauty and spirit of Tuscany into their own home decor, meals, gardens, entertaining and, most important, outlook on life. In her inimitable warm and evocative tone, Frances helps readers develop an eye for authentic Tuscan style, with advice on how to: • Choose a Tuscan color palette for the home, from earthy apricot tones to invigorating shades of antique blue. • Personalize a room with fanciful door frames, unique painted furniture, and fresco murals. • Cultivate a Tuscan garden, adding fountains, vine-covered pergolas, and terra-cotta urns among the herbs and flowers • Select the best Italian vino. (Frances describes lunches at regional vineyards and imparts tips for pairing food and wine.) • Create an atmosphere of irresistible, anytime hospitality—a "casa aperta" (open home). • Make primo finds at local antiques markets. (And to help truly bring Tuscany home, shipping advice and market days for several Tuscan towns are included.) • Set an imaginative Tuscan table using majolica and vintage linens. • Enjoy the abundant flavors and easy simplicity of the Tuscan kitchen, with details on everything from olive oil and "vino santo "to "pici "and" gnocchi," plus special homegrown menus and recipes. • Make the most of a trip to Tuscany, visiting Frances’s favorite hill towns, restaurants, small museums, and other soothing places.
With more than 100 photos by acclaimed photographer Steven Rothfeld (including several of the Mayes’s California home and its Tuscan accents), twenty-five all-new recipes, and lists of resources for travelers and shoppers, "Bringing Tuscany Home" is a treasure trove of practical advice and memorable images.

Описание: In this direct sequel to Under the Tuscan Sun and Bella Tuscany, the celebrated "bard of Tuscany" (New York Times) lyrically chronicles her continuing, two-decades-long love affair with Tuscany, its people, culture, and lifestyle, with more on the pleasures of life at Bramasole, favorite recipes, and the delights and challenges of living in Italy day-to-day. At the core of this book is an exploration of how the author's experience of Tuscany dramatically expanded when she renovated and became a part-time resident of a new house, her 13th-century hamlet Fonte delle Foglie, in the mountains above Cortona. Beginning with a summer there during which the final touches of the house's historical restoration are completed, the book's narrative arc follows the events of a year, with retrospective parts focusing on the duality of change and permanence as Mayes has experienced them.

Описание: Horses and ponies are the most majestic, intuitive and beautiful animals. They will become trusted companions and the best of friends when cared for and loved. Their strength and power will always be more than ours, and yet, if we treat them well, and ride with compassion, they can become putty in our hands. Over the years, I have found that horses and ponies want to please, and they want to have fun. They have their fears, as we all do, and sometimes they catch us off guard when they are frightened by something. As their rider, we need to be vigilant, be constantly aware of our riding position and be observant of our animal's behaviour.

Perhaps you are looking to buy a horse or a pony for your child and may enjoy hearing about our experiences.
