  Giulia Farnese, a woman who traverses time to find, in this novel, her redemption. 
  Her real story is tachat of a woman who goes far beyond the figure of Sponsa Christi as she was known throughout the world. 
  The writer traces the profile of a strong woman who, once free from the trammels of a family that raised her to be obedient, rises from her ashes and the damnatio memoriæ to become the mater and the domina of the feud of Carbognano. 
  With an absorbing prose, and based on an historical plot of true events, the author gives back to La Bella the dignity that historical documentation has always overlooked, preferring to chase after fifth century gossip.

  Seniors' Stories Volume 10

  Welcome to Seniors' Stories Volume 10.  
  These stories are so worthwhile because we have all come through the same decades and changes in our lives which is why we relate to the stories so well. We know they are believable, we know they tell of our life changes for entertainment for us, but also they educate those readers who didn’t, especially our descendants. 
  For those who have not experienced life anywhere but in Australia, reading of the experiences of our many immigrants who compare their life growing stages to how we experience ours here, is a wonderful education in itself not to mention how interesting they are and very entertaining. 
  It has become prominent knowledge that the ‘theme’ we offer each year is what creates the interest (for the senior authors from NSW) to put pen to paper and this year of 2024, there was a popular theme, What Made Me, resulting in an onslaught of creative entries. Over five hundred were received this year, so congratulations to the talented writers who actually came through the vetting and judging process successfully. It really is a reward worthy of congratulating, in itself. Happy listening!

  John Smith - Old Labour's Last...

  The death of John Smith on 12th May 1994 was one of those events which sticks in the memory. He was cut down at the moment that it looked as if he was set to become the next Prime Minister after a long political career and after successive electoral defeats for his party.
  This book, published to mark the thirtieth anniversary of his death, offers a comprehensive assessment of his leadership of the Labour Party, with chapters written by academic experts, on their chosen fields, and by those who knew him as advisers, MPs and journalists.
  There are two themes running through the book. The first seeks to examine the extent to which there was a John Smith 'effect' in terms of politics and policy and assess whether he succeeded in establishing his own agenda or simply followed that of his predecessor. The second examines the extent to which Smith was a representative of 'Old' Labour or 'New' Labour.

  Moving Toward Life - Five...

  Anna Halprin is one of the most important innovators in the history of modern dance, performance art, and post-modern dance. Moving Toward Life brings together for the first time her essays, interviews, manifestos, and teaching materials, along with over 100 illustrations, providing a rich account of the work that radicalized an entire generation of performers.Since the late 1950s, Halprin has been at the forefront of experiments in dance, from improvisation and street theatre to dances in the environment and healing dances. A brief overview of Halprin's career shows how her work has prefigured — and transfigured — crucial developments in postmodern dance. In the 1960s, Halprin invented the "workshop," and in the wake of the Watts riots, her multiracial company broke boundaries in their confrontational political performances. In the 1970s, she organized "community rituals" to explore how individual creativity feeds positively into group dynamics. These healing social events led to her current work with cancer survivors and people challenging AIDS and their caregivers.Depicting Halprin's deep commitment to social change, Moving Toward Life presents an engaging, critical document of the life of one of the most influential and least known luminaries of American dance. Sally Banes and Janice Ross join Rachel Kaplan in providing introductory essays to sections of the book.
