Love is a reflex- It is what we do. An eclectic collection of poems and thoughts from Amy, a thirty something submissive. Amy's journey started when she met her first dominant gentleman about 5 years ago. She submitted to him, obeyed him and loved him.

He looked after her spiritual and sexual needs, cared for her well-being and allowed her to be free from her daily life. He would text her and mail her, just at the right times when she craved his contact. She reciprocated by gifting him her greatest possession - her submission. She felt safe with him and completely energized during their BDSM play. In the mo...

The First World War's appalling death toll and the need for a sense of equality of sacrifice on the home front led to Canada's first experience of overseas conscription. While historians have focused on resistance to enforced military service in Quebec, this has obscured the important role of those who saw military service as incompatible with their religious or ethical beliefs. Crisis of Conscience is the first and only book about the Canadian pacifists who refused to fight in the Great War. The experience of these conscientious objectors offers insight into evolving attitudes about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship during a key period of Canadian nation building.

Ole Hendricks and His Tunebook

Ole Hendricks was an immigrant both representative and exceptional--a true artistic talent who nevertheless lived a familiar immigrant experience. By day, he was a farmer. But at night, his fiddle lit up dance halls, bringing together all manner of neighbors in rural Minnesota. Each tune in his repertoire of waltzes, reels, polkas, quadrilles, and more were copied neatly into his commonplace book. Such tunebooks, popular during the nineteenth century, rarely survive and are often overlooked by folk scholars in favor of commercially produced recordings, published sheet music, or oral tradition. Based on extensive historical and genealogical research, Amy Shaw presents a grounded picture of a musician, his family, and his community in the Upper Midwest, revealing much about music and dance in the area. This notable contribution to regional music and folklore includes more than one hundred of Ole's dance tunes, transcribed into modern musical notation for the first time. Ole Hendricks and His Tunebook will be valuable to readers and scholars interested in ethnomusicology and the Norwegian American immigrant experience.

Making the Best of it

Many women who lived through the Second World War believed it heralded new status and opportunities. But did it? Making the Best of It examines how gender and other identities intersected to shape the experiences of female Canadians and Newfoundlanders during the war. The contributors to this thoughtful collection consider mainstream and minority populations, girls and women, and different parts of Canada and Newfoundland in their essays. Ultimately, they lay a foundation for a better understanding of the ways in which the lives of Canadian women and girls were altered during and after the 1940s.

Gloriana

It is the Year of Our Lady 13,039. The God-Queen Elizabeth Tudor stands alone at the center of the mighty Anglocatholic church, and the universe of believing Angloworlds. Her Ladies in Waiting are lethal, and her celibate priests are trained spies and assassins, led by the deadly Hound of Heaven, Father Joseph Corbeau. Merdyn Pendragon is the Queen's greatest enemy. He and his consort Daria rule a world guided by Arthurian myth and legend. Determined to end the tyranny of the Queen, they are making peace overtures to the monstrous shape-shifting Zini, who have been at war with the Angloworlds for decades. In a maze of political intrigue and dark magic, only Father Joseph Corbeau holds the key. The Throne of Heaven is the prize, and the War of the Dragon is about to begin. Gloriana is the story of the War of the Dragon, and the first book of the Queens' War Trilogy.

Paths to Excellence

For more than a century, medical schools and academic campuses were largely separate in Texas. Though new medical technologies and drugs—conceivably, even a vaccine instrumental in the prevention of a pandemic—might be developed on an academic campus such as the University of Texas at Austin, there was no co-located medical school with which to collaborate. Faculty members were left to seek experts on distant campuses. That all changed on May 3, 2012, when the UT System Board of Regents voted to create the Dell Medical School in Austin. This book tells in detail and for the first time the story of how this change came about: how dedicated administrators, alumni, business leaders, communi...
