Frigid Women
In 1997, a group of twenty women set out to become the world's first all female expedition to the North Pole. Sue and Victoria were surprised to find themselves amongst them. En route to the most isolated and forbidding regions of the globe and facing the bitterest hardships, both were seeking a new beginning. For Sue these were the first steps following treatment for breast cancer. For Victoria, abandoning the security of her career was the sole way to test her self-belief. This is mother and daughter, Sue and Victoria's personal account of their trials and survival in the Arctic. Honest, shocking, but never too serious, Frigid Women is a celebration of the positive, 'anything is possible' attitude which can transform life's tribulations into its most rewarding experiences.
Our Hebraic Roots
Most people have heard of Hanukkah, but few have heard of the seven feasts given to them by God. What are the Bible stories behind the celebrations such as Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits or Pentecost, that have been fulfilled by the First Coming of Jesus? If you already celebrate them, are you just going through the motions, or do you know what and why you're commemorating? If you don't already celebrate them, what's stopping you from understanding the Hebraic roots of Christianity? Follow author S. J. Stalder through God's celebrations to understand how the Bible stories you read as a child have a deeper meaning that point to the first and second coming of the Messiah. Our Hebraic Roots not only tells the biblical stories, but also offers explanation of the historical context and the Hebrew words for names, places, and groups of people. Unlike anything out there, this unique book merges the two great faiths of the Bible—Judaism and Christianity. Learn and pass on these timeless traditions to the generations after you.
An Anxious Pursuit
In An Anxious Pursuit, Joyce Chaplin examines the impact of the Enlightenment ideas of progress on the lives and minds of American planters in the colonial Lower South. She focuses particularly on the influence of Scottish notions of progress, tracing the extent to which planters in South Carolina, Georgia, and British East Florida perceived themselves as a modern, improving people. She reads developments in agricultural practice as indices of planters' desire for progress, and she demonstrates the central role played by slavery in their pursuit of modern life. By linking behavior and ideas, Chaplin has produced a work of cultural history that unites intellectual, social, and economic histor...
Con Game
Bernard Madoff's financial fraud was global, an enormous amount of money was involved, and thousands of people and hundreds of institutions were swindled. Madoff's con game was a Ponzi scheme—an investment that pays returns to early investors from money acquired from subsequent investors.This case study of the Madoff scheme looks at the effects of his crimes on the victims. Elements from a theoretical framework put forward by Erving Goffman provide a perspective for understanding the development and the aftermath of Madoff's con. For example, as Goffman would have put it, Madoff's marks were not cooled out. Many did not accept the fact that they were victims of a con game and publicly clam...
