Horse Brooks Geraldine

“Brooks’ chronological and cross-disciplinary leaps are thrilling.” —The New York Times Book Review“Horse isn’t just an animal story—it’s a moving narrative about race and art.” —TIMEA discarded painting in a junk pile, a skeleton in an attic, and the greatest racehorse in American history: from these strands, a Pulitzer Prize winner braids a sweeping story of spirit, obsession, and injustice across American historyKentucky, 1850. An enslaved groom named Jarret and a bay foal forge a bond of understanding that will carry the horse to record-setting victories across the South. When the nation erupts in civil war, an itinerant young artist who has made his name on paintings of the racehorse takes up arms for the Union. On a perilous night, he reunites with the stallion and his groom, very far from the glamor of any racetrack.  New York City, 1954. Martha Jackson, a gallery owner celebrated for taking risks on edgy contemporary painters, becomes obsessed with a nineteenth-century equestrian oil painting of mysterious provenance. Washington, DC, 2019. Jess, a Smithsonian scientist from Australia, and Theo, a Nigerian-American art historian, find themselves unexpectedly connected through their shared interest in the horse—one studying the stallion’s bones for clues to his power and endurance, the other uncovering the lost history of the unsung Black horsemen who were critical to his racing success. Based on the remarkable true story of the record-breaking thoroughbred Lexington, Horse is a novel of art and science, love and obsession, and our unfinished reckoning with racism.

Discover Your True Worth: Becoming the Woman God Created You to Be Roberts Lindsay

Before his death, Oral Roberts commissioned his daughter-in-law Lindsay Roberts with what he believed to be a mandate from God--that she was to help women discover who they are in Christ and establish them in their powerful identity in Him and to help them become the women God created them to be, to become women of substance, women of true worth.Lindsay has spent her career sharing that message with women. She believes that as women we must discover who we are and what we are made of in order to move forward in all God wants us to become--in business, in the church, in our families, and in every other area of society. Lindsay draws from the biblical stories of Bathsheba, Delilah, Deborah, and Esther to illustrate the importance of taking our rightful place as God planned when He formed the very first woman, Eve, in the garden of Eden. Readers will be encouraged,

Conservatism: A Rediscovery Hazony Yoram

The idea that American conservatism is identical to "classical" liberalism--widely held since the 1960s--is seriously mistaken.The award-winning political theorist Yoram Hazony argues that the best hope for Western democracy is a return to the empiricist, religious, and nationalist traditions of America and Britain--the conservative traditions that brought greatness to the English-speaking nations and became the model for national freedom for the entire world.Conservatism: A Rediscovery explains how Anglo-American conservatism became a distinctive alternative to divine-right monarchy, Puritan theocracy, and liberal revolution. After tracing the tradition from the Wars of the Roses to Burke and across the Atlantic to the American Federalists and Lincoln, Hazony describes the rise and fall of Enlightenment liberalism after World War II and the present-day debates

The Life Worth Living: Disability, Pain, and Morality Reynolds Joel Michael

A philosophical challenge to the ableist conflation of disability and painMore than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle said: "let there be a law that no deformed child shall live." This idea is alive and well today. During the past century, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. argued that the United States can forcibly sterilize intellectually disabled women and philosopher Peter Singer argued for the right of parents to euthanize certain cognitively disabled infants. The Life Worth Living explores how and why such arguments persist by investigating the exclusion of and discrimination against disabled people across the history of Western moral philosophy.Joel Michael Reynolds argues that this history demonstrates a fundamental mischaracterization of the meaning of disability, thanks to the conflation of lived experiences of disability with those

Georgia O'Keeffe and New Mexico: A Sense of Place Lynes Barbara Buhler

When Georgia O'Keeffe first visited New Mexico in 1917, she was instantly drawn to the stark beauty of its unusual architectural and landscape forms. In 1929, she began spending part of almost every year painting there, first in Taos, and subsequently in and around Alcalde, Abiquiu, and Ghost Ranch, with occasional excursions to remote sites she found particularly compelling. Georgia O'Keeffe and New Mexico is the first book to analyze the artist's famous depictions of these Southwestern landscapes. Beautifully illustrated and gracefully written, the book accompanies an exhibition of the same name at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It reproduces the exhibition's 50 paintings and includes striking photographs of the sites that inspired them as well as diagrams of the region's distinctive geology. The book examines the magnificence of O'Keeffe's work through essays by three noted authors. Barbara Buhler Lynes, Curator of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and organizer of the exhibition, discusses the relationship of the artist's paintings to the places that inspired her.Frederick Turner offers an illuminating essay contrasting O'Keeffe's fabled aloofness from the well-established art colony in Santa Fe with her intense closeness to the local landscape she so fiercely loved. Lesley Poling-Kempes furnishes a fascinating chronicle of O'Keeffe's years in the region as well as a useful explanation of the geological forces that produced the intense colors and dramatic shapes of the landscapes O'Keeffe painted. EXHIBIT SCHEDULE: Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Santa Fe, New Mexico June 11-September 12, 2004 Columbus Museum of Art Columbus, Ohio October 1, 2004-January 16, 2005 Albright-Knox Art Gallery Buffalo, New York January 28-May 08, 2005

Green Coffee - A weight loss guarantee?: How you can lose weight quickly and easily with green coffee Simons Peter Carl

Peter Carl Simons has worked within the dietary sector for years, and has witnessed the inhuman strategies of certain manufacturers. He knows that behind many "miracles cures", the only aim is to get rich very fast. As many of the offered compounds are food supplements that are hardly ever checked, the manufacturer can mix in "any piece of crap" slap a nice name on it, and pay some unknown doctor or professor to smile into the camera for the product. Right now, a new diet wave is coming over the big pond: "Green coffee bean extract" is the newest miracle cure for obesity, to live healthy, and to optimise your metabolism. Simons knows: The approach is not a bad idea, but there is a much cheaper variant that works just as well and is because of that very reason not being disclosed by the manufacturers and their doctors - it would make them less money. That is why Simons tells you the

The Early Years of Charlie Chaplin: Final Shorts and First Features Haven Lisa Stein

Charlie Chaplin's career has been described, critiqued, and scrutinized. There are book-length studies on Chaplin's music hall career, his career at Keystone Studios and the Mutual Studios. Somehow, his tenure with First National studios, however, has been largely neglected, even though it was during this several-year contractual time period that Chaplin built and occupied his own studio for the first time, that he attempted and succeeded in filming a comedy feature (The Kid) and that he helped to set up United Artists, an organization that protected the salaries and creative freedom of actors in Hollywood. This period in Chaplin's story is especially interesting because such landmark moments are accompanied by Chaplin's first marriage and divorce, the death of his first child, his friendship with French silent film comedian Max Linder, World War I and the role he would play in

American Fiction 1865 - 1940 Lee Brian

Brian Lee's study of American fiction from 1865 to 1940 draws on a wealth of material by, amongst others, Twain, James, Dreiser, Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Faulkner. Though the works of these writers have been closely scrutinised by postwar critics in Europe and America, few attempts have yet been made to utilise the new critical approaches and theories in the service of literary history. Brian Lee does so in this book, relating the writers of the period - both major and minor - to its patterns of immense economic, social and intellectual
