An exploration of the murder that occurred at Rocky Point Park in Warwick, Rhode Island in 1893.

The Irish Revival has inspired a richly diverse and illuminating body of scholarship that has enlarged our understanding of the movement and its influence. The general tenor of recent scholarly work has involved an emphasis on inclusion and addition, exploring previously neglected texts, authors, regional variations, and international connections. Such work, while often excellent, tends to see various revivalist figures and projects as part of a unified endeavor, such as political resistance or self-help. In contrast, The Irish Revival: A Complex Vision seeks to reimagine the field by interpreting the Revival through the concept of "complexity," a theory recently developed in the information and biological sciences. Taken as a whole, these essays show that the Revival's various components operated as parts of a network but without any overarching aim or authority. In retrospect, the Revival's elements can be seen to have come together under the heading of a single objective; for example, decolonization broadly construed. But this volume highlights how revivalist thinkers differed significantly on what such an aspiration might mean or lead to: ethnic authenticity, political autonomy, or greater collective prosperity and well-being. Contributors examine how relationships among the Revival's individual parts involved conflict and cooperation, difference and similarity, continuity and disruption. It is this combination of convergence without unifying purpose and divergence within a broad but flexible coherence that Valente and Howes capture by reinterpreting the Revival through complexity theory.

Deborah Nicholson spent four years changing her life and losing over 140 pounds, journalling her misadventures along the way. Together with her coworkers, Arlene Cox - psychologist and Kelly Sullivan - registered dietitian, she penned Stop Lying to try and help others struggling with weight and food issues to find their own path towards truly overcoming those issues. Midwest Book Reviews says: In the beginning of this read you will meet three woman, Deborah, Arlene and Kelly. These three woman teamed up to write a book about weight loss. I know, there are many books out there on this subject, but not one quite like this. Besides having background and knowledge in this area, our ladies give you something special and that is truth and hope. They share with you their struggles, their victories, their failures and their knowledge in this long going battle that so many of us face. We all know that maintaining a proper weight is vital to our health and our entire life, but for most of us it is a struggle just to balance all the other arrows coming our way. How are we suppose to take the time to figure this out as well, and why should we? After all, don't we deserve that big piece of cake or large helping of that very calorie filled plate of food set before us. We work hard, we take care of our families, we hold down jobs and wear more hats than anyone could imagine. But if the truth be known, everyone would be much happier if they were not carrying around more weight than their frames can handle.So what is the answer. The ladies have taken this question to task. They have each contributed within the pages of this book their story, their secrets and shared them with the reader on a one to one personal level. I liked how Arlene tells us right from the start that we have value, we are wise and wonderful. And I had to giggle when I read to get on the scale and see what the numbers read, and take off your cloths and have a good look. Horrors Also when Deborah asks us to confront the lies we tell ourselves and that we had to learn to live differently, that really hit home. Arlene shares with us to become aware of feelings we have and how food can be our comfort. I sure know that feeling, as I'm sure that most of you do as well. I really liked the part where Deborah talks about saying something and meaning it. She gives a section titled: "My Manifesto For A Healthy Life." It's like a confession page, and truly what we speak forth over and over again, we will begin to believe. They are constructive confessions such as: I will plan and think before I eat; I will love myself now, not wait until I'm thin, and many more. However my favorite part is: "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.."... Deborah explains in this part of the book that everyone has problems so thinking that becoming thin will solve all your problems is not wisdom. Also in this section she gives us some Public Enemies; Example: Public Enemy #1 The Grocery Store. Ah I bet you didn't know that was your enemy There is so much information, wisdom and encouragement in this book that I could write a several page review, but I will end here. If you really want to read a no nonsense approach to weight loss, with a deep personal touch that expands in so many areas this book is for you. These ladies know what they are talking about, they live what they preach and you can tell through their words that their desire is to reach out and help others. It is interesting and refreshing, will make you giggle at times and sigh at others. Their approach to this subject is personal, from them to you and you will truly feel their hearts reaching out to help you achieve your goal. There is no condemnation for being overweight, only the encouragement of going to where you want to be to walk in the health and vitality that should be yours. Recommended, great job.

When a 16 year old, small town girl, Christine Matthews, from Dryden, Michigan gets a shot at playing semi- professional hockey on a boys hockey team she jumps at the opportunity.

Follow her ups and downs as she tackles some of lives hardships, surprises, and victories as she reaches out to catch her dreams. Journey with her as she struggles through some of life's tough situations, as well as love and loss.

Her story is inspirational to people every where who feel their dreams are unreachable.

Christine wants one thing in her life, hockey. Nothing would ever mean more to her than that. She had worked so hard for it without the support of her friends and family. When she meets Alex her world starts to change.

Why was she so enticed by this boy. She had to stop thinking about how gorgeous he was. He would be running for the exits as soon as he found out what she was doing there. She noticed that her palms were starting to sweat, she wiped them on her jeans, before he noticed. She wanted to hate him. She couldn't have these type of distractions around her. She needed to be focused on the prize.

Then there was Moose. What would she do without him? This couldn't be happening right now, not to her. She still had her stalker to deal with. The hatred he had for her, in those deep black coal eyes. Was her life about to spiral out of control?

'Each time we lay down together, I thought of pounding fetlocks, the flex of tendons, the press of horse shoe against my chest, the ring of purple flesh it would leave on my stomach, his galloping, galloping into me ... Each night, after, I filled the space we'd made with the whine and later the voice of the violin, my voice, coming quicker and quicker, my fingers finding the notes through his hair, quicker and quicker through my bow arm sweeping across the strings, down the flutes of muscle on his back. It came mellow and low then quicker and harder and pizzicato and striking each note, forcing it from the wood and into the still sycamores, pin oaks, maples. Always, the violin called between the spaces.' In this stunning fictional debut Kelly Sullivan explores of the inner life of Grace: mother, wife, and talented violinist. Finding release only in her music, Grace exists in a state of profound emotional paralysis, until the storm. 18 August 1969 - Hurricane Camille ravages all that lies in her path; at a party in Mississippi drunken revellers eagerly await her arrival. As they sway to the sound of a stereo hi-fi, outside 'the trees whip by and the rain whips down'. Twenty-four people die inside the beachfront building when it's razed 'flatter than a winter bayou'. Speeding over drifting sand, Grace, her husband and his newly acquired lover make a last-minute dash to safety. In the days that follow, Grace surveys the destruction wrought by the tempest. Like the wood of her beloved violin, her fractured ego risks crumpling under the pressure: 'Too much moisture and you're gonna warp her, but too little and you'll have more cracks,' the violin repairman had warned. In Winter Bayou, Grace journeys through the past, from the heady rush of teenage love to a marriage 'ripped apart too ... shredded and pushed beyond our boundaries' - her meditations forming a perfectly poised novella as lyrically tender as it is viscerally sensuous.
