Melanie C has always been a performer at heart. Melanie Chisholm was one of the persons there when the Spice Girls rose to prominence. Melanie is a distinctive Spice Girl who later achieved significantly more recognition as a solo performer than she did as a band member. Chisholm had a great solo career after her time with the Spice Girls, but she indicated she still would embrace the opportunity to play with her former bandmates. The Spice Girls became one of the finest girl bands in the 1990s. The group performed to sold-out stadiums and brought the girl power movement with them wherever they went. The Sporty Spice is or was struggling a lot, despite appearing to be living out her greatest...

Gisèle d'Estoc was the pseudonym of a nineteenth-century French woman writer and, it turns out, artist who, among other things, was accused of being a bomb-planting anarchist, the cross-dressing lover of writer Guy de Maupassant, and the fighter of at least one duel with another woman, inspiring Bayard's famous painting on the subject. The true identity of this enigmatic woman remained unknown and was even considered fictional until recently, when Melanie C. Hawthorne resurrected d'Estoc's discarded story from the annals of forgotten history. Finding the Woman Who Didn't Exist begins with the claim by expert literary historians of France on the eve of World War II that the woman then known ...
"Almost invariably, media stories with the word evangelical in their headlines are accompanied by a familiar stock photo: a mass of middle-class worshippers with eyes closed, faces tilted upward, and hands raised to the sky. Yet, despite the fact that worship has become symbolic of evangelicalism's identity in the twenty-first century, it remains an understudied locus of academic inquiry.

Theological scholars frequently dismiss evangelical worship as a reiteration...
The impact of public narratives has been so broad (including effects on beliefs and behavior but extending beyond to emotion and personality), that the stakeholders in the process have been located across disciplines, institutions, governments, and, indeed, across epochs.

The book brings together current theory and research presented primarily from an empirical psychological and communications perspective, as well as contribu...
