Toronto-based scholar Podnieks analyzes the diaries based on both the published volumes and the unpublished manuscripts. Her work on the manuscripts focuses on their physical qualities, exploring how the women designed their diaries as books with title pages, prefaces, indexes, illustrations, and other features and how elements such as handwriting, edited words and phrases, or torn-out pages illuminate facets of self-representation and self-preservation. c.

Mit "Datt Schlitzohr" hat der Autor aus Bad Zwischenahn nun bereits sein 3. Buch bei BoD überaus erfolgreich auf den Markt gebracht. "Datt Schlitzohr" ist ein plattdeutsch geschriebenes Buch und so verfasst, wie man spricht! "Das vereinfacht vieles", meint der Autor und scheint damit auf dem richtigen Weg zu sein. In "Datt Schlitzohr" beschreibt der Autor die wahren Geschichten um seinen Opa Hermann, das "Schlitzohr der Nation", und Oma Herta, die alle seine Unarten ertragen musste. Die Geschichten in diesem Buch spielen auf einem kleinen Bauernhof und schildern all die Begebenheiten, die sich so im Laufe eines Tages ereignen.
This book is the first collection to feature histories of women in Western Esotericism while also highlighting women’s scholarship. In addition to providing a critical examination of important and under researched figures in the history of Western Esotericism, these fifteen essays also contribute to current debates in the study of esotericism about the very nature of the field itself.

Having a title that suggests that I was born to do something for three generations of Russlaender Mennonites is a bit crass, and yet that is what three testimonial contributors suggest, though unknown to one another. “Peter Penner's rich and varied life exemplifies bridge-building between the worlds of church and academy. Situated as he was on the physical ‘edge' of Mennonite communities for much of his career, his perspective on their history and identity is full of insight. As pastor, teacher, scholar, and volunteer, he has brought a critical yet gentle and loving eye to a lifetime of service.” Marlene Epp, University of Waterloo Another, the late Paul Toews, Fresno, CA, historian...
