Grace Notes
"Ever since I was 10 years old, I d felt myself yearning to 'go astray.' For me, that didn t mean drinking and cavorting with boys; it meant being myself without fear." from the book What happens when a trained singer who grew up in a "house of vowels" finds that her voice is not her own? What happens when a woman loses the Mormon faith of her childhood and abandons the rituals she s always known? What does a woman, already married for thirteen years by her early thirties, do when she realizes she has been "lying for years?" How does one sing, with grace, from the heart? In the spirit of Mary Catherine Bateson s "Composing a Life "and Kathleen Norris s "Cloister Walk," Heidi Hart s luminous ...
The Female Body and the Law
The Female Body and the Law provides an original and incisive reexamination of the dynamics of sexual equality. Eisenstein contends that sexual inequality is fostered both by the law and by the insistence that men and women are biologically different. Through a fascinating discussion of a series of issues including affirmative action, AIDS, Baby M, pornography, and abortion, Eisenstein shows how the law operates as a political language that establishes and curtails choices and actions. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1990.

Murder in Manolos
Heidi Hart just graduated from college, ready to take on the world, or at least New York City. She never thought she'd still be job-hunting three months later, her savings account drained and her rent due. While her friends are busy planning the new nurseries for their firstborns, the perfect additions to their perfect families, Heidi is pounding the pavement. Determined to make it on her own, but running out of funds, she reluctantly agrees to take a nanny position to pay the bills...only the job is to be a companion to a fifteen-year-old girl. It's only after meeting her new charge, Lauren Dayton, that Heidi begins to realize two things: one, that the quiet life the Daytons have constructed is built on a decade of pain and mystery, a mystery that haunts each member of the family differently; and two, that no matter how simple the job seems, you should never believe the job description.
The Secrets of Stone Creek
After losing her best friend and feeling overlooked by family members, Finley decides to prove herself by finding a missing woman in the remote tourist town of Stone Creek, but after convincing her brothers to help her, Finley discovers she may be in over her head.
Music, Narrative and the Moving Image
In extending the traditional field of Word and Music Studies to include research on film and other forms of moving visualizations, this volume focuses on innovative discussions of artistic works showing relationships between three individual communicative media. This trifocal, interdisciplinary perspective is reflected in seventeen essays that cover the historical space from the 19th to the 21st centuries and discuss a wide variety of individual genres in the represented media. These range from Parisian cabaret to ‘revolutionary’ Peking opera, from silent film to Holocaust narration, from documentary propaganda movies to opera film interludes, and more. The investigation of historical cases is broadened by reflections on theoretical and functional issues, primarily in film music, which show a remarkable breadth of technical and perceptual varieties. The essays here collected are of relevance to scholars and students of film studies, musicology, and literature, as well as readers generally interested in Intermediality Studies.
