American Eden: David Hosack, Botany, and Medicine in the Garden of the Early Republic
Finalist for the 2018 National Book Award for Nonfiction A New York Times Editors' Choice Selection The untold story of Hamilton’s—and Burr’s—personal physician, whose dream to build America’s first botanical garden inspired the young Republic. On a clear morning in July 1804, Alexander Hamilton stepped onto a boat at the edge of the Hudson River. He was bound for a New Jersey dueling ground to settle his bitter dispute with Aaron Burr. Hamilton took just two men with him: his “second” for the duel, and Dr. David Hosack. As historian Victoria Johnson reveals in her groundbreaking biography, Hosack was one of the few points the duelists did agree on. Summoned that morning becaus...
Boundary
Never try to open the locked doors. Never question what you are told. And never attempt to cross the Boundary. Kept inside an eerie estate for their entire lives, Penny and her five friends have had no contact with the outside world, with their only windows being a handful of books, a sinister master and a secretive housekeeper. Fed up of living a mystery, Penny begins breaking all the rules and finally tries to escape; but what she uncovers is far more devastating than she could have imagined. It rapidly becomes a deadly struggle for the truth in a world where nothing is what it seems, and friendship can be either your greatest weapon...or your biggest liability.

Immortals in Leather
Shamelessness never goes out of style. Ana has been sent with the rest of the Immortal Representatives to Florida to rein Ares in. His midlife crisis includes leading a werewolf biker gang and attempting to navigate through a supernatural life of crime. With allies like his pack members helping them, she's sure it'll be a quick mission. Sarcasm is the new language of love. Max is used to being the odd man out. He's a wild dog shifter in a pack of werewolves, and has no use for leather or motorcycles. Immortals start surrounding him left and right, and when you can't beat them, the only option is to join them. Ares is having a problem being accepted by the local supernatural community. His short temper and scheming ways have nothing to do with that, of course. Will Ana and Max be able to resolve the conflicts before Ares takes matters into his own hands, in true God of War style?
Backstage at the Revolution
On July 14, 1789, a crowd of angry French citizens en route to the Bastille broke into the Paris Opera and helped themselves to any sturdy weapon they could find. Yet despite its long association with the royal court, its special privileges, and the splendor of its performances, the Opera itself was spared, even protected, by Revolutionary officials. Victoria Johnson’s Backstage at the Revolution tells the story of how this legendary opera house, despite being a lightning rod for charges of tyranny and waste, weathered the most dramatic political upheaval in European history. Sifting through royal edicts, private letters, and Revolutionary records of all kinds, Johnson uncovers the roots o...

But time is quickly running out and she has two choices: put her trust in an old enemy, or find herself completely alone...both are equally terrifying. Barrier is the second book in The Other Horizons Trilogy by teenage author Mary Victoria Johnson. The first, Boundary, is also available from Lodestone Books.

Sports Television
Readers of the Routledge Television Guidebook on Sportswill be introduced to the history of sports television in the United States, the genre's definition, and its critical significance for the business practices, formal properties, and social, cultural, and political meanings of the medium. Each chapter includes a case-study that applies critical analysis to sports television in reader-friendly and familiar, broadly-relatable examples, giving readers models by which to engage in their own critical readings as applied to other sites of sports TV and sport culture. Relying on a range of examples--from Sunday Night Football to March Madness to the Olympics -Victoria Johnson proposes that sports, as seen on TV, is the central cultural forum for working through questions of community ideals, struggles over national and regional mythologies, and questions of representative citizenship.
Heartland TV
Winner of the 2009 Society for Cinema and Media Studies Katherine Singer Kovacs Book Award The Midwest of popular imagination is a "Heartland" characterized by traditional cultural values and mass market dispositions. Whether cast positively —; as authentic, pastoral, populist, hardworking, and all-American—or negatively—as backward, narrow–minded, unsophisticated, conservative, and out-of-touch—the myth of the Heartland endures. Heartland TV examines the centrality of this myth to television's promotion and development, programming and marketing appeals, and public debates over the medium's and its audience's cultural worth. Victoria E. Johnson investigates how the "square" image ...
