Not Like a Lady
Letty’s lost everything but one friend, and her horse. She desperately needs to convince the fierce baronet to buy any horse but hers. Now she's causing her own problems, because she cannot stop touching a man she'd been prepared to hate. Sir Michael Grantley is Roseford's new baronet, and a salty ex-sailor who lost half a leg in the war. He's desperate to ride again - but for that he needs a biddable horse. He's not prepared for the horse to come with an independent young woman who decides that the key to her future is helping him ride again. The last think Michael needs is a wife, and Letty has never been anything like a lady. Neither of them can resist the one person they ought to refus...
The Caped Countess
By day, Lady Donnatella is a duke’s silly daughter. So she can save London lives by night. When she stumbles into something larger than a street fight, everything she's balancing may come crashing down... It's another lonely season for Tella, dancing and gaming madly while keeping marriage away. She cannot tell her family or friends that her true self is the one battling danger in the city's dark streets. Nor will anyone guess; she's perfected her disguise. Then her night-time alter ego is seen — just when she can no longer count on her best friend, or her beloved great-uncle. And the resulting fuss in the newspapers isn't making any of this easier. Nor is the reporter who saw her. Henry...
To Dance is Human
Exploring dance from the rural villages of Africa to the stages of Lincoln Center, Judith Lynne Hanna shows that it is as human to dance as it is to learn, to build, or to fight. Dance is human thought and feeling expressed through the body: it is at once organized physical movement, language, and a system of rules appropriate in different social situations. Hanna offers a theory of dance, drawing on work in anthropology, semiotics, sociology, communications, folklore, political science, religion, and psychology as well as the visual and performing arts. A new preface provides commentary on recent developments in dance research and an updated bibliography.
He Stole the Lady
A seemingly fragile beauty, Zelda Rawle is anything but the pliant heiress the Faircombe family expected. Once her wedding to the heir is over, she intends to carry out her own plans. They don't include the towering enigma that is the estate's shepherd. Lord Geoffrey Eliot will play his sheep-herding part as long as it takes to learn Miss Rawle's secrets. The laughing, peculiar Miss Rawle would make a poor lady of Faircombe, and he's made an unbreakable promise to protect his family. The closer the mismatched pair become, the greater the danger that Zelda will miss her chance at her lifelong dream - and that Geoffrey will shatter his family by falling in love with the woman intended for his ...
Dancing for Health
Throughout history and in contemporary times, people worldwide have danced to cope with the stresses of life. But how has dance helped people resist, reduce, and escape stress? What is it about dance that makes it a healing art? What insights can we gain from learning about others' use of dance across cultures and eras? Dancing for Health addresses these questions and explains the cognitive, emotional and physical dimensions of dance in a spectrum of stress management approaches. Designed for anyone interested in health and healing, Dancing for Health offers lessons learned from the experiences of people of different cultures and historical periods, as well as current knowledge, on how to resist, reduce, and dance away stress in the disquieting times of the 21st century. Anthropologists and psychologists will benefit from the unique theoretical and ethnographic analysis of how dance affects communities and individuals, while dancers and therapists will take away practical lessons on improving their and their patients' quality of life.
The Countess Invention
Inventor Mr. Cullen is secretly Miss Cullen, and she does not want to get married. Cass would like to avoid marriage altogether, but when her father insists, she turns to her favorite correspondent Dr. Burke for help. He already knows some of her secrets; surely she can manage not to reveal the rest? Oliver Burke occupies himself with women and gin, trying to forget his soul-crushing family and the nightmares of the war. When his friend Cullen turns out to be a surprising young woman with surprising problems, for the first time, he dares to hope for a future. Oliver believes in pleasure; Cass doesn't think it suits her. They're going to try to prove each other wrong... The Countess Invention is about two people who have to believe in each other to find dizzying pleasure, devastating heartbreak... and forever love. It's a historical Regency romance novel with steamy moments and sweet ones, of about 350 pages. It includes an admittedly bad attempt at cross-dressing and a woman who believes in pockets. It also includes a beautiful man who has made love to too many ladies, no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a Happily Ever After!
Dance, Sex, and Gender
"Ambitious in its scope and interdisciplinary in its purview. . . . Without doubt future researchers will want to refer to Hanna's study, not simply for its rich bibliographical sources but also for suggestions as to how to proceed with their own work. Dance, Sex, and Gender will initiate a discussion that should propel a more methodologically informed study of dance and gender."—Randy Martin, Journal of the History of Sexuality

Naked Truth
Across America, strip clubs have come under attack by a politically aggressive segment of the Christian Right. Using plausible-sounding but factually untrue arguments about the harmful effects of strip clubs on their communities, the Christian Right has stoked public outrage and incited local and state governments to impose onerous restrictions on the clubs with the intent of dismantling the exotic dance industry. But an even larger agenda is at work, according to Judith Lynne Hanna. In Naked Truth, she builds a convincing case that the attack on exotic dance is part of the activist Christian Right’s “grand design” to supplant constitutional democracy in America with a Bible-based theo...
