![]() ![]() I love how (the book) JOSEPHINE is, like the real Josephine, a rare creature. Having read JOSEPHINE, and having then watched a half-hour's worth of Josephine Baker shining in film that is readily available on Youtube videos, I am overflowing with joy and gratitude for being lucky enough to live in a time and place where the quality of technology and children's publishing permits the creation of a truly amazing book like this one, and the digital age in which we live offers us significant, instant access to the most incredible resources (such as 80 year-old films of Josephine Baker). GRIMACING, and SIGHING through her exotic jig.īut she couldn't sit at a table and eat dinner with the white folk. 'It's impossible to take your eyes off the little cross-eyed girl.'

Unlike those old-time newspaper reporters, Sevigny does not look at her subjects and see women out of place.Ĭlover and Jotter and their 1930s achievements remain relevant and their example does not fade with time, Sevigny insists. Sevigny’s work deftly weaves the women’s stories and discoveries that influenced botany for decades. Meticulously researched and written like an adventure novel with page-turning prose, science journalist Melissa L. It is a spellbinding adventure of two women who risked their lives to make an unprecedented botanical survey of a little-known corner of the American West at a time when human influences had begun to change it forever. The botanists’ story is exciting, interesting, and informative. “Brave The Wild River” is the story of two women - Elzada Clover and Lois Jotter - who mapped the botany of the Grand Canyon. A worthy read to flesh out your world view. The world he envisions is fraught with danger as powers rise and ebb, but not without opportunity. This is a story of adventure, pushing boundaries, disregarding gender norms, and setting historical precedents.

The red dust and the burnt cliffs and the lonely sky - all that which lies beyond the end of the roads. I don't mean the town itself, of course, but the country which surrounds it - the canyonlands. Theologians, sky pilots, astronauts have even felt the appeal of home calling to them from up above, in the cold black outback of intersteller space.įor myself I'll take Moab, Utah. A houseboat in Kashmir, a view down Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, a gray gothic farmhouse two stories high at the end of a red dog road in the Allegheny Mountains, a cabin on the shore of a blue lake in spruce and fir country, a greasy alley near the Hoboken waterfront, or even, possibly, for those of a less demanding sensibility, the world to be seen from a comfortable apartment high in the tender, velvety smog of Manhattan, Chicago, Paris, Tokyo, Rio or Rome - there's no limit to the human capacity for the homing sentiment.

This legend of Aeneas's voyage, which the Romans elaborated for their own patriotic purposes, was recorded as far back as the fifth century B.C. Long before Virgil's time, Romans liked to believe that among their ancestors were the legendary Trojans, who, under Aeneas's leadership, sailed from Troy, in Asia Minor (present-day Turkey), westward across the Mediterranean Sea to Italy and settled in Latium, site of the future Rome. Because the events that take place in the poem were recounted from generation to generation, they eventually took on the appearance of unquestionable truth. We must bear in mind, however, that the epic was seen in an entirely different light by Virgil's contemporaries. It is primarily a fiction whose narrative fabric, woven from myth and legend, traces a pattern that appears in the most profound myths that concern the human spirit's eternal quest for self-perpetuation. ![]() ![]() The Aeneid, the story of a band of survivors who leave their destroyed city to seek another home in a faraway country, is about rebirth, about life springing forth from ruin and death. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I was looking for the perfect gods to show my heroine, Kristia Tostenson, that the world beyond her one-stoplight hometown is much bigger than she ever imagined. From John Lindow's Norse Mythology to D'Aulaire's illustrated guide for children, I gobbled up every book in my library that touched on the mythology. In addition to consuming undignified amounts of Norsk waffles (a true anytime food), I read up on the Norse myths. While writing my upper YA/NA paranormal romance, Elsker, I dove headfirst into Scandinavian culture. Ever since, those of us of Nordic descent have marked the day with parades, games, and lots and lots of Norsk waffles.

Swift’s “Marjorie,” an ode full of love for her late grandmother and the memories she holds of her, is emotional enough in its recorded state. Here are 13 of the best things to happen at Swift’s Saturday night show in Atlanta. And without giving too much away, “Vigilante Shit” might elicit the loudest roar. “Cruel Summer,” “‘Tis the Damn Season,” “Betty” and “Lavender Haze” are all ones not to be missed in her singalong stadium setting. While she performs songs from every other album in her discography, the four she had yet to ever tour with - 2019’s Lover, 2020’s Folklore and Evermore, and 2022’s Midnights - get a lot of attention. But Swift’s country roots, circa her high school days, are showcased in her Fearless set, when she twirls with her guitar in hand and plays some of her biggest early hits. ![]() Her debut album doesn’t typically find itself on her setlist, and it didn’t on April 29. She powers through for more than three hours, pausing only for a quick set or wardrobe change, or - as was the case at this stop in Atlanta - to banter with the crowd before select songs. ![]() The tour celebrates 10 album eras of Swift with a 44-song setlist.
