Book Description
A haunting and page-turning classic from an award-winning author. It's as if the wooden chest is luring me, urging me to open it - daring me almost. Open me up. Look inside. Come on, just for a second; it won't hurt. Celina O'Malley was sixteen years old when she disappeared. Now, almost forty years later, Bayley is living in Celina's old house, sleeping in the same room, wearing her clothes and, most strangely, hearing her voice. What does Celina want with Bayley? But Bailey has her own problems, she's dealing with her father's death, the move to a new town and her family falling to pieces around her. Bayley needs to solve the mystery of Celina before it's all too late. A ghost story. A love story. A story of revenge.

The Arts of Industry in the Age of Enlightenment
Author: Celina Fox
Publisher: Paul Mellon Centre for Studies
ISBN: 9780300160420
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
During the 18th century, the arts of industry encompassed both liberal and mechanical realms--not simply the representation of work in the fine art of painting, but the skills involved in the processes of industry itself. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, Celina Fox argues that mechanics and artisans used four principal means to describe and rationalize their work: drawing, model-making, societies, and publications. These four channels, which form the four central themes of this engrossing book, provided the basis for experimentation and invention, for explanation and classification, for validation and authorization, and for promotion and celebration, thus bringing them into the public domain and achieving progress as a true part of the Enlightenment.

The Crusades of Cesar Chavez
Author: Miriam Pawel
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 160819714X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 775
Book Description
National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist Winner of the California Book Award A searching portrait of an iconic figure long shrouded in myth by a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of an acclaimed history of Chavez's movement. Cesar Chavez founded a labor union, launched a movement, and inspired a generation. He rose from migrant worker to national icon, becoming one of the great charismatic leaders of the 20th century. Two decades after his death, Chavez remains the most significant Latino leader in US history. Yet his life story has been told only in hagiography-until now. In the first comprehensive biography of Chavez, Miriam Pawel offers a searching yet empathetic portrayal. Chavez emerges here as a visionary figure with tragic flaws; a brilliant strategist who sometimes stumbled; and a canny, streetwise organizer whose pragmatism was often at odds with his elusive, soaring dreams. He was an experimental thinker with eclectic passions-an avid, self-educated historian and a disciple of Gandhian non-violent protest. Drawing on thousands of documents and scores of interviews, this superbly written life deepens our understanding of one of Chavez's most salient qualities: his profound humanity. Pawel traces Chavez's remarkable career as he conceived strategies that empowered the poor and vanquished California's powerful agriculture industry, and his later shift from inspirational leadership to a cult of personality, with tragic consequences for the union he had built. The Crusades of Cesar Chavez reveals how this most unlikely American hero ignited one of the great social movements of our time.

Landia
Author: Celina Su
Publisher: Belladonna*
ISBN: 9780998843919
Category : American poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Poetry. Women's Studies. LANDIA excavates literal and figurative borderlands--redrawn boundaries, architectural palimpsests, underground transport systems--to reckon with the historical and cultural forces that shape our cities and our intimate lives. The book serves as a meditation on imagined and real and hoped-for migrations--of course, Su's own history permeates, but these poems also draw upon more than a decade of fieldwork, collaborative projects, and long-term relationships with specific immigrant communities and social justice organizations in southeast Asia, Latin America, and throughout the United States. Echoing tensions in social research, LANDIA is also a reflexive project, questioning documentation as intervention. "A map is not the territory, / but it becomes so over time." Fueled by fragmentation, the poems act as plaintive pleas to elude and resist the violent institutions that govern us, to trace the contours of new imaginaries and border crossings.
