This study examines the physical form and cultic function of the
biblical cherubim. Previous studies of the cherubim have placed too
great an emphasis on archaeological and etymological data. This
monograph presents a new synthetic study, which prioritises the
evidence supplied by the biblical texts. Biblical exegesis, using
literary and historical-critical methods, forms the large part of
the investigation (Part I). The findings arising from the
exegetical discussion provide the basis upon which comparison with
etymological and archaeological data is made (Parts II and III).
The results suggest that traditions envisaging the cherubim as
tutelary winged quadrupeds, with one head and one set of wings,
were supplanted by traditions that conceived of them as more
enigmatic, obeisant beings. In the portrayal of the cherubim in
Ezekiel and Chronicles, we can detect signs of a conceptual shift
that prefigures the description of the cherubim in post-biblical
texts, such as The Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice and the Enochic
texts.
This book explores responses to the strangeness and pleasures of
modernism and modernity in four commercial British women's
magazines of the interwar period. Through extensive study of
interwar Vogue (UK), Eve, Good Housekeeping (UK), and Harper's
Bazaar (UK), Wood uncovers how modernism was received and
disseminated by these fashion and domestic periodicals and recovers
experimental journalism and fiction within them by an array of
canonical and marginalized writers, including Storm Jameson, Rose
Macaulay, Gertrude Stein, and Virginia Woolf. The book's analysis
is attentive to text and image and to interactions between
editorial, feature, and advertising material. Its detailed survey
of these largely neglected magazines reveals how they situated
radical aesthetics in relation to modernity's broader new
challenges, diversions, and opportunities for women, and how they
approached high modernist art and literature through discourses of
fashion and celebrity. Modernism and Modernity in British Women's
Magazines extends recent research into modernism's circulation
through diverse markets and publication outlets and adds to the
substantial body of scholarship concerned with the relationship
between modernism and popular culture. It demonstrates that
commercial women's magazines subversively disrupted and sustained
contemporary hierarchies of high and low culture as well as
actively participating in the construction of modernism's public
profile.
After the Modernist literary experiments of her earlier work,
Virginia Woolf became increasingly concerned with overt social and
political commentary in her later writings, which are preoccupied
with dissecting the links between patriarchy, patriotism,
imperialism and war. This book unravels the complex textual
histories of "The Years" (1937), "Three Guineas "(1938) and
"Between the Acts" (1941) to expose the genesis and evolution of
Virginia Woolf's late cultural criticism. Fusing a
feminist-historicist approach with the practices and principles of
genetic criticism, this innovative study scrutinizes a range of
holograph, typescript and proof documents within their historical
context to uncover the writing and thinking processes that produced
Woolf's cultural analysis during 1931-1941. By demonstrating that
Woolf's late cultural criticism developed through her literary
experimentalism as well as in response to contemporary social,
political and economic upheavals, this book offers a fresh
perspective on her emergence as a cultural commentator in her final
decade and paves the way for further genetic enquiries in the
field.

Through her journey from having it all to dealing with financial
setbacks, Wood provides tools to help you organize your finances
and understand which spending patterns are knocking you off-track.
Ten years ago, Alice Wood was living a normal life, balancing her
career, family, and finances with confidence. She knew
instinctively how to handle money, until a brain injury sustained
on a commercial airplane changed her life. After the injury, Alice
encountered many new challenges; for the first time in her life she
was overweight and in serious debt. Weight Watchers (R) allowed
Alice to lose the weight and keep it off. Inspired by Weight
Watchers' (R) daily discipline of journaling and the principle of
group accountability, she decided to create a new and radically
simple program to reclaim her financial stability. She called it
Wealth Watchers. This simple program enabled her to meet her own
financial goals and soon was helping thousands of others to do the
same. Today, the Wealth Watchers program is an important part of
the rapidly growing movement for financial literacy and empowerment
sponsored by school, state, and federal government programs;
corporations such as McDonald's and Visa; and several large
financial institutions.
