Women, funerals, guns, and rattlesnakes. What could go wrong? Jill OÕHara, award-winning journalist and inveterate egotist, is about to find out. When Jill is summoned to her hometown Prairie View, Montana, to bury her father and clean up his messes, she assumes a few tedious days of signing papers and delegating responsibilities will complete her obligations. But JillÕs duties as Dean OÕHaraÕs daughter soon become less mundane and more menacing. To complicate matters, JillÕs first love, Annie Doyle, lives in Prairie View and despite AnnieÕs blistering past betrayal, Jill still desires her. Fortunately, Sheriff Rae Terabian, a woman with a uniform, power, and shady associates, deliciously distracts Jill from her obsession with Annie. Amidst her customary confusion over women, Jill is forced to confront her fatherÕs treacherous legacy, battle the extremes of the northern Montana wilds, and face down survivalists bent on silencing her. Despite the remote location and severe peril, she discovers the possibility for one more chance at love.

Trata-se de uma composição que agrupa diferentes áreas que dialogam com a educação. São análises e pesquisas de viés pós-qualitativo, que movimentam novos modos de refletir, problematizar e abordar, determinados conceitos que mais ou menos aprofundados, evocam linguagens, metodologias ou procedimentos metodológicos, para fins de alcançar não apenas outras estéticas de escrita e de produção de conhecimento, mas o enlace entre modos de viver e de se expressar e as situações educativas que transitam com as linguagens, corpo e estética na educação.
Corpo e cena. Corpo que encena. Corpo que precisa respirar, em meio à angústia provocada pelo caos humano, político e ambiental. Como falar em urgências para nossos corpos, para nossa relação com a presença? Os ensaios aqui publicados, alguns mais, outros menos, carregam uma certa desesperança, uma melancolia de futuro que constitui a obra como um todo. É uma presença melancólica que, de certa forma, nos impulsiona a buscar, nos estudos de corpo e(n)cena o quê, nesta relação, nos soa como urgência, como alívio para nossas tensões, como remédio para a alma.

Windsor, Connecticut was one of the three towns that united to form the Colony of Connecticut in the 17th century. A great deal of data concerning Windsor's early inhabitants can be garnered from this work, which is based on records in the possession of the Connecticut Historical Society. By far the largest source transcribed for this publication is the Matthew Grant, or "Old Church," Record, 1639-1681. Comprising the first half of the volume, the Matthew Grant Record consists of several thousand births, marriages, and deaths for Windsor families throughout much of the 17th century. Though not an "official record" of the town, it nonetheless is one of the most important sources of Windsor "v...
The lead story in this collection is CHECKPOINT. What if WW2 had ended slightly differently, with a peace settlement between America and Germany? What if ‘The Wall’ had been built across Paris, instead of across Berlin? Ben Dubritt, and his Parisian friend, Denis Lebrun, try to make their escape through the Checkpoint of the title. They find an unexpected ally in the shape of Sergeant Joe McCarthy, a member of the occupying forces. The title story was originally published by the European Institute. This, like the other three stories in this collection, is a story of speculative fiction. The others are led by DIMENSION FIVE, an unashamed tribute to HG Wells, stemming from his first novel, The Time Machine. Then there is NEW EDEN, a tongue-in-cheek dig at the ‘Adam and Eve’ SF cliché. Finally, there is THE STAR OF BIRMINGHAM, based on current lectures on astronomy given during the Festive Season.
