The Secret Quest
Author: Margaret Sutton
Publisher: Applewood Books
ISBN: 1429090537
Category : Detective and mystery stories
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Judy and her young FBI husband Peter Dobbs go to the airport in Washington, D.C., to meet Peter's sister Honey, who is going to visit them for a week and take in the many interesting sights. Back at the motel where the three are stopping, Honey is amazed to find that accidentally she has picked up the wrong suitcase. Instead of the pretty suits that she herself had designed, the bag contains some very old-fashioned garments, an old diary dated 1847, and an old coffee mill. Even more startling is Peter's discovery of a sheaf of notes on solar science stuffed inside the drawer of the coffee mill. The odd clothes remind Honey of two quaintly dressed little old ladies who were on the plane with her. And later, when she and Judy and Peter catch a glimpse of the same old ladies in the company of the new artist whose arrival at the Dean Studios caused Honey to lose her job there, the three young detectives are even more perplexed. At a solar science exhibit in the Smithsonian Institution, Judy picks up the first slim clue to an increasingly baffling mystery and starts on her dangerous secret quest for its solution.--seriesbooks.info/bolton.html

Deconstruction After 9/11
Author: Martin McQuillan
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135891117
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
In this book Martin McQuillan brings Derrida's writing into the immediate vicinity of geo-politics today, from the Kosovan conflict to the war in Iraq. The chapters in this book follow both Derrida's writing since Specters of Marx and the present political scene through the former Yogoslavia and Afghanistan to Palestine and Baghdad. His 'textual activism' is as impatient with the universal gestures of philosophy as it is with the complacency and reductionism of policy-makers and activists alike. This work records a response to the war on thinking that has marked western discourse since 9/11.

Rediscovering Nancy Drew
Author: Carolyn Stewart Dyer
Publisher: University of Iowa Press
ISBN: 0877455015
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
"Rediscovering Nancy Drew is a rich collection of literary memories and insightful cultural comments."--Journal of Children's Literature "Nancy, especially the Nancy of the original story, is our bright heroine, chasing down the shadows, conquering our worst fears, giving us a glimpse of our brave and better selves, proving to everybody exactly how admirable and wonderful a thing it is to be a girl. Thank you, Nancy Drew."--Nancy Pickard "Nancy Drew belongs to a moment in feminist history; it is a moment, I suggest, that we celebrate, allowing ourselves the satisfaction of praising her for what she dared and forgiving her for what she failed to undertake or understand."--Carolyn G. Heilbrun "Rediscovering Nancy Drew lights up the territory. It informs, delights, and acknowledges through love and scholarship a debt long overdue."--Dale H. Ross In 1991, women staff and faculty at the University of Iowa discovered that the pseudonymous author of the original Nancy Drew books, Carolyn Keene, was none other than Mildred Wirt Benson, the first person to earn a master's degree in journalism at Iowa. The excitement caused by their discovery led to the 1993 Nancy Drew Conference, which explored the remarkable passion for Nancy Drew that spans a wide spectrum of American society. The result: a lively collaboration of essays by and interviews with mystery writers, collectors, publishers, librarians, scholars, journalists, and fans which presents a spirited, informative, totally enjoyable tribute to the driver of that blue roadster so many readers have coveted.

Word Drops

ISBN: 0826356567
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
From aardvark to zenzizenzizenzic, Word Drops collects a thousand obscure words and language facts in one fascinating chain of word associations. Did you know, for example, that scandal derives from the Latin for "stumbling block" and originally described a trap for a wild animal? In nineteenth-century slang a wolf trap was a corrupt casino. Casino means "little house" in Italian. Roulette means "little wheel" in French. A wheeler is someone who attends auctions to bid on items merely to increase their sale price. Such links take readers on an unexpected journey through linguistic oddities. Inspired by the popular @HaggardHawks Twitter account, Word Drops also uses an intriguing series of annotations to add background and historical context on everything from Anglo-Saxon cures for insanity to Samuel Pepys's cure for a hangover. This unique book will delight anyone who loves language, etymology, and word games. Not for sale in the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, or Canada
