Sinopse

In "Concerning Women," Suzanne La Follette presents a compelling examination of women's roles and their evolving position within society during the early 20th century. The book is crafted with a blend of incisive analysis and eloquent prose, reflecting the intellectual currents of the time, including feminism and modernism. La Follette's critical engagement with sociocultural norms challenges prevalent stereotypes and advocates for women's autonomy, making it an essential text for understanding the intersection of gender, politics, and identity in a transformative era for women. Suzanne La Follette, a prominent feminist and social reformer, draws upon her own experiences as a member of the progressive movement to inform her work. Her extensive involvement in various social causes, combined with her academic background and connections to eminent thinkers, shapes her perspective throughout the text. La Follette'Äôs insights provide historical context and depth, making her arguments not only relevant but also a testament to the rich discourse surrounding women's rights during her lifetime. "Concerning Women" is highly recommended for scholars, students, and general readers interested in gender studies, social reform, or the historical trajectory of feminism. La Follette'Äôs articulate dissection of societal norms invites readers to critically reflect on the ongoing challenges women face, making this book both a powerful historical text and a call to continued activism.

  • Bosworth Field and Flodden Field: The History and Legacy of the Decisive Battles that Ended the Middle Ages in the British Isles - cover

    Bosworth Field and Flodden...

    Today, roses are a sign of love and luxury, but for over 30 years, they provided the symbols for two houses at war for control of England. Thousands of people died and many more were injured fighting beneath the white rose of York and the red rose of Lancaster, and the noble families ruling England tore each other apart in a struggle that was as bitter as it was bloody.  
    As a result, few battles in English history are as famous as Bosworth Field. Fought on August 22, 1485, it was the one which decided the outcome of that long and messy conflict. English king Richard III, who had only recently taken the throne, had superior numbers at the battle, but an army fighting under future king Henry VII proved to have the better fighters. When forces near the field under Lord Stanley sided with Henry during the battle, they surrounded and killed Richard. The last York King went down fighting, but as news of the king's death spread, his army turned and ran, and with that, Henry Tudor was now King Henry VII.  
    At the time of Flodden, England and Wales were ruled by the Tudor dynasty, founded by Henry VII in 1485. Henry had ended the seemingly endless war between the Yorkist and Lancaster factions of the House of Plantagenet when he defeated King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field on August 2, 1485, but his own claim to the throne of England was shaky and easily subject to challenge. His mother was Margaret Beaufort, a descendant of John of Gaunt, third son of King Edward III, and his father, Edmund Tutor, was the son of the Dowager Queen of England, Catherine of Valois. At the time, there were numerous other candidates with stronger claims to the throne, so to strengthen his hold he married Elizabeth of York, daughter of King Edward IV. Even so, Henry was constantly looking over his shoulder to guard against the surviving Plantagenets, and he suppressed rebellions and discovered conspiracies over most of his 12 years in power.

    “Explores a dimension of synesthesia long encountered in reports of synesthetes: its relation to mystical and artistic vision . . . fascinating accounts.” —Patricia Lynne Duffy, author of Blue Cats and Chartreuse Kittens   “The Synesthesia Experience will open up for you a whole new world in our universe.” —The Amazing Kreskin   What does blue taste like to you? A violinist sees a scarlet form when he plays a certain note; a rock star sees waves of blue and green as he composes a ballad; an actress tastes cake when she utters the word “table.” Described by some as a superpower, this mingling of the senses is called synesthesia, and the people who possess this amazing gift are called synesthetes.   What happens when a journalist turns her lens on a mystery happening in her own life? Maureen Seaberg did just that and spent a year exploring her synesthesia. What she learned is that synesthesia is not an idle “brain tick” but a unique ability to tap into and reveal a greater creative universe and even the divine.   Join her as she visits top neuroscientists, rock stars, violinists, other synesthetes, philosophers, savants, quantum physicists, and even Tibetan lamas on her journey toward the truth. Famous synesthetes and experts interviewed in the book include Billy Joel, Itzhak Perlman, Pharrell Williams, Dr. Dean Radin, Dr. Amit Goswami, and Dylan Lauren.

    Dickie Metcalfe was not your typical secret agent, but he was larger than life in more ways than one. Unlike many other agents who were part of the Double Cross System during the Second World War, he did not defect; nor was he blackmailed into becoming a spy. Instead, using his father's connection with Sir Vernon Kell, the first director of MI5, Metcalfe volunteered his services. 
     
     
     
    Recently cashiered from his infantry regiment, he had an ulterior motive—by supplying MI5 with tidbits of information about weapons and arms deals in his newfound profession as an arms dealer, he hoped they would be able to help him get his commission reinstated. Metcalfe became BALLOON, a sub-agent of double agent TRICYCLE's Yugoslav spy ring. 
     
     
     
    Concurrent with his spying activities, he collaborated with the coinventor of the Bren gun to develop a new submachine gun for British forces. After the war, he was also a celebrated motor racing driver and continued to compete until shortly before his death. His success as a double-cross agent in the eyes of both his masters—British and German—is examined in this book, using official documents as a primary source.
