Daughter of Darkness
Gerard Lytton was tricked into marrying young Willow Givanchy, his enemy’s unwanted and independent daughter. On his return after a four year absence, Gerard found Willow transformed into a beautiful young woman, but she retained those burdens of her mother’s dark reputation and her father’s dishonor. And then Willow’s supposedly long-dead mother turned up, followed by unsettling events.

Sport and the Shaping of Civic Identity in Chicago
This study uses sociological and historical methodologies to analyze the role of sport in the formation of urban identity in Chicago. The author traces the transformation of Chicago from a frontier town to a commercial behemoth, examining its role as an immigration, transportation, and entertainment hub. The author argues that, as a pioneering leader in American sport history, Chicago allowed teams and athletes to forge a unique national and global identity. This thorough and well-researched study makes a major contribution to debates on the social and psychological functions of sport culture.
The International Harvester Company
Ancient farmers used draft animals for plowing but the heavy work of harvesting fell to the humans, using sickle and scythe. Change came in the mid-19th century when Cyrus Hall McCormick built the mechanical harvester. Though the McCormicks used their wealth to establish art collections and universities, battle disease, and develop birth control, members of the family faced constant scrutiny and scandal. This book recounts their story as well as the history of the International Harvester Company (IHC)--a merger of the McCormick and Deering companies and the world's leader in agricultural machinery in the 1900s.
