Feminist Interpretations of Jean-Paul Sartre
While Sartre was committed to liberation struggles around the globe, his writing never directly addressed the oppression of women. Yet there is compatibility between his central ideas & feminist beliefs. In this first feminist collection on Sartre, philosophers reassess the merits of Sartre's radical philosophy of freedom for feminist theory. Contributors are Hazel E. Barnes, Linda A. Bell, Stuart Z. Charme, Peter Diers, Kate & Edward Fullbrook, Karen Green, Sarah Lucia Hoagland, Sonia Kruks, Guillermine de Lacoste, Thomas Martin, Phyllis Sutton Morris, Constance Mui, & Iris Marion Young.
Murder in St-Tropez
Even the Riviera can’t put a gloss on murder. Maggie and her vintner husband Laurent are long overdue for a real vacation. So with the harvest in their Provençal vineyard due in a matter of weeks, they’ve slipped away to the jewel in the Cote d’Azur—St-Tropez—for a week of sunning, shopping, and…reconnecting. Unfortunately, St-Tropez was much more than just fun in the sun back in Laurent’s day when he and his cronies used to scam the rich tourists there for a living. Who could blame him for thinking his deeds in St-Tropez had been buried for good? And when the bodies start falling over the side of their rented yacht, who could blame Maggie for thinking he should have known better? With the clock ticking and Laurent’s freedom in jeopardy by a very determined policeman with an axe to grind and a long memory, Maggie will have to dig deep this time to find the culprit behind the murders. Or return to Domaine St-Buvard minus a husband.
Pierre Julien
Pierre Julien: Sculptor to Queen Marie-Antoinette is a scholarly study of the artist (1731-1804) who rose from humble beginnings, the son of an illiterate carpenter, to become professor at the Paris Académie and director of the sculptural decoration at Marie-Antoinette's dairy at Rambouillet (1785-87), a surprise gift from Louis XVI.

His masterpieces are Amalthea, or Girl with Goat, the centerpiece at Rambouillet, and two sta...

Eyes of an Eagle
Selected Book for the Louisiana Bicentennial Celebration, 2012 In the year 1860, Jean-Pierre Cenac sailed from the sophisticated French city of Bordeaux to begin his new life in the city with the second busiest port of debarkation in the U.S. Two years before, he had descended the Pyrenees to Bordeaux from his home village of Barbazan-Debat, a terrain in direct contrast to the flatlands of Louisiana. He arrived in 1860, just when the U.S. Civil War began with the secession of the Southern states, and in New Orleans, just where there would be placed a prime military target as the war developed. Neither Creole nor Acadian, Pierre took his chances in the rural parish of Terrebonne on the coast ...
Expo Sixty Seven
Expo 67, the world's fair held in Montreal during the summer of 1967, brought architecture, art, design, and technology together into a glittering modern package.

The contributors to this volume reflect a variety of interdisciplinary approaches and address Expo 67 across a broad spectrum ranging from ar...
