Mrs Dalloway

Virginia Woolf

Beschreibung

First published in 1925, set 'one Wednesday in mid-June', Mrs Dalloway charts the lives of several characters across a day in London. While Clarissa Dalloway goes about preparing for a high-society party she is to host that evening, pondering on her childhood and marriage, nearby Septimus Warren Smith, a First World War veteran, is plagued with memories of the war and of his friend who never returned.
Weaving a multitude of voices and eras into one, dressed in the most beautiful of language, Mrs Dalloway has earned its reputation as one of the most iconic novels of the twentieth century and great successes of Modernist fiction.
This edition also contains 'Mrs Dalloway in Bond Street', the short story upon which the novel is modelled.

When Water Became Blue

Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette

Annie Ernaux meets Annie Dillard in this sultry story of a woman’s obsession with a painter — and a river.  
A woman is on an artists’ retreat on an island in the St. Lawrence Seaway, taking time away from her partner and her daughter to write. There she encounters a painter who spends his days with his easel set up on the shore trying to capture the blue of the water. They are drawn to each other, and their desire builds, through conversations about art and the colour blue, into a passionate extramarital affair, both deep and fleeting. 
Savage in its beauty, this new work from Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette is a novel of resilience and longing, staking out the territory of female desire, exploring how it’s been regarded through the ages and how it’s reflected in art and nature. 
Following the bestselling Suzanne and To the Forest, this latest offering in a series of novels about women by Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette captures the power and beauty of desire set against the power and beauty of nature. An accomplished filmmaker, Barbeau-Lavalette writes with a visual flair, embodying both the calm and the turbulence of the river that runs through the story.

NASA and the Long Civil Rights...

Brian C. Odom, Stephen P. Waring

American Astronautical Society Eugene M. Emme Astronautical Literature Award 
 
 
 
As NASA prepared for the launch of Apollo 11 in July 1969, many African American leaders protested the billions of dollars used to fund "space joyrides" rather than help tackle poverty, inequality, and discrimination at home. This volume examines such tensions as well as the ways in which NASA's goal of space exploration aligned with the cause of racial equality. It provides new insights into the complex relationship between the space program and the civil rights movement in the Jim Crow South and abroad. 
 
 
 
Essays explore how thousands of jobs created during the space race offered new opportunities for minorities in places like Huntsville, Alabama, while at the same time segregation at NASA's satellite tracking station in South Africa led to that facility's closure. Other topics include black skepticism toward NASA's framing of space exploration as "for the benefit of all mankind," NASA's track record in hiring women and minorities, and the efforts of black activists to increase minority access to education that would lead to greater participation in the space program. The volume also addresses how to best find and preserve archival evidence of African American contributions that are missing from narratives of space exploration.

Lincoln But Trump - Narrative...

PhD Randy Olson

THE NARRATIVE DIAGNOSIS: I have some bad news for you — your AF (AND Frequency) is a bloated 3.8%, your N.I. (Narrative Index, BUT/AND ratio) is an anemic 4. There’s a real risk of you boring an audience to death.
The ABT Narrative Template, already famous for its use in “Cat Herding" and “silo busting," now has two very powerful metrics — the AF and the NI.
In this ground-breaking and original book, Lincoln But Trump, Randy Olson introduces a whole new quantitative component to both narrative structure and, crucial for today’s world, messaging.
Here, for the first time ever, are two very simple but powerful “narrative metrics” that now make possible the “narrative diagnosis” of content. The metrics do for storytelling the same thing a doctor does to assess your health — i.e. they tell you if you have a problem.
Is it quackery for simpletons? A fair question, but just look at the simple patterns that emerge, starting with the metrics for the legendary 1858 Lincoln-Douglas Debates. The data are as clear as "night and day" (the same comparison a reporter used to describe the two candidates). The results have been sitting there waiting to be discovered for 160 years.
It’s a whole new way to look at messaging and narrative strength for both the political and historical worlds.
- Park Howell, Host, The Business of Story Podcast
Following the basic ABT (And, But, Therefore) form that Olson has been researching for 15 years, he outlines the need for a quantitative approach. He introduces the two metrics, then applies them to the novel idea of, “Narrative Forensics” in which hypotheses can be tested by calculating the two metrics for various materials.
Using the two narrative metrics Olson shows how you can diagnose your own narrative strength, then work to improve it.
