Beschreibung

In "Old Celtic Romances," the anonymous author delves into the rich tapestry of early Celtic literature, offering a collection of ancient tales that encapsulate the heroic spirit, magical realism, and cultural values of the Celtic world. Written in a lyrical and evocative style, the romances transport readers to a bygone era where brave warriors, enigmatic fairies, and tragic love stories intertwine. This volume is set within a broader context of medieval oral traditions, showcasing the preservation and transformation of narratives that were foundational to Celtic identity. The anonymity of the author speaks to the communal nature of Celtic storytelling, reflecting a tradition steeped in folklore and history. Drawing from mythological sources such as the Mabinogion and the Táin Bó Cúailnge, the author captures the essence of the Celtic imagination. Influenced by the oral nature of these tales and the cultural shifts occurring in medieval Europe, the author weaves stories that resonate with themes of honor, fate, and the interplay between the human and the supernatural. Readers are encouraged to immerse themselves in the captivating worlds depicted in "Old Celtic Romances," as it offers profound insights into Celtic heritage and invites reflection on universal themes of love and valor. This collection is essential for scholars of literature and enthusiasts of myth, serving as a gateway to understanding the enduring power of storytelling in shaping cultural identity.

    The world has awakened to the urgent need to focus on women's advancement—companies with gender-balanced leadership are far more likely to outperform their peers, and the evolving expectations of leadership align to women's natural strengths. But we're nowhere near achieving that equity. Less than 10 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs are women, and the pace of growth is shockingly slow, made worse by COVID-19 and its aftermath. 
     
     
     
    What does it take for women to ascend permanently into leadership roles? In Her Own Voice sheds some light on this timely topic. Based on twenty-five years of research, Jennifer McCollum offers sage advice for the unique hurdles facing women in business, from contending with our own inner critic to having to navigate the often-intimidating world of negotiating for ourselves. 
     
     
     
    In Her Own Voice outlines the key competencies and action steps to overcome these obstacles. Backed with data and infused with compelling real-life stories, it's a blueprint for helping listeners identify, measure, and conquer what's holding women back at any stage of their careers.

    Amid the White smiles of Minnesota Nice and the Minnesota Paradox—the insidious racism of an ostensibly inclusive place to live—what do you do? If you're Taiyon J. Coleman, you write. 
     
     
     
    In Traveling without Moving, Coleman shares intimate essays from her life: her childhood in Chicago—growing up in poverty with four siblings and a single mother—and the empowering decision to leave her first marriage. She writes about being the only Black student in a prestigious and predominantly White creative writing program, about institutional racism and implicit bias in writing instruction, about the violent legacies of racism in the US housing market, about the maternal health disparities seen across the country and their implication in her own miscarriage. She explores what it means to write her story and that of her family—an act at once a responsibility and a privilege—bringing forth the inherent contradictions between American ideals and Black reality. 
     
     
     
    Using a powerful blend of perspectives that move between a first-person lens of lived experience and a wider-ranging critique of US culture, policy, and academia, Coleman's writing evinces how a Black woman in America is always on the run, always Harriet Tubman, traveling with her babies in tow, seeking safety, desperate to survive, thrive, and finally find freedom.

    An illuminating, insider's journey through the world of Little House on the Prairie and beyond, from Dean Butler, who starred as Almanzo Wilder on the iconic show still beloved by millions of fans as it reaches its fiftieth anniversary. 
     
     
     
    Cast just before his twenty-third birthday, Dean Butler joined Little House on the Prairie halfway through its run, gaining instant celebrity and fans' enduring affection. Now, with wit and candor, Butler recounts his passage through the Prairie, sharing stories and anecdotes of the remarkable cast who were his on-screen family. But that was merely the beginning of a diverse career that includes Broadway runs and roles on two other classic shows—Moondoggie in The New Gidget and Buffy's ne'er-do-well father, Hank, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Coming of age during a golden era of entertainment, Butler has evolved along with it, and today enjoys success and fulfillment as a director and producer—notably of NBC Golf's Feherty—while remaining deeply loyal to Little House. 
     
     
     
    The warmth, heart, and decency that fans of Laura and Almanzo fell in love with on Little House echo through this uplifting memoir, a story, in Butler's words, about "good luck, good television, and the very good—if gloriously imperfect—people who made it so."
