Book Description
It was fear of missing out on life and succumbing to cats that drove 49-year-old Fenella Woodruff into a house share with young, free singletons. Juggling her job at a gallery with the demands of an invalid mum, the arrival of a handsome new housemate near her age throws Fen into a spin. For Martin, who radiates a certain woodland charm, she is keen to act as sounding board over a bottle of wine while his divorce plays out. As the younger housemates embark on carnal adventures of their own, things look hopeful--until Fen is dragooned into accompanying her parent on a Norwegian fjord cruise. Onboard ship, her focus switches to Mother, who voices strong opinions on her daughter's life while refusing to let infirmity dictate her own, and to an enigmatic gentleman they meet in Bergen. Normal service resumes when Fen returns home, ready to turn things up a notch with Martin. But a horrid surprise awaits...

Book Description
Originally, Sparta was an all-male planet - an all-male population with everything that implies: babies - male babies only - produced by the so-called Birth Machine from an almost unending supply of fertilized ova brought by Sparta's founding father, a dyed-in-the-wool misogynist. But unnatural situations rarely stand the test of time, and it wasn't too long before Sparta bowed to Mother Nature. But there was still something rather strange about Sparta when John Grimes landed there to await the arrival of his beloved ship Sister Sue. It seemed to him that among the recently transplanted women of Sparta, there was a strange movement afoot. And when the Archon was kidnapped by a group of militant women the press claimed were men, he knew he couldn't just stand by and watch!

Power and Intimacy in the Christian Philippines
Author: Fenella Cannell
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521646222
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
What kind of reciprocity exists between unequal partners? How can a 'culture' which makes no attempt to defend unchanging traditions be understood as such? In the Christian Philippines, inequalities - global and local - are negotiated through idioms of persuasion, reluctance and pity. Fenella Cannell's study suggests that these are the idioms of a culture which does not need to represent itself as immutable. Her account of Philippine spirit-mediumship, Catholicism, transvestite beauty contests, and marriage in Bicol calls for a reassessment of our understanding of South-East Asian modernity. Combining a strong theoretical interest in the anthropology of religion with a broader comparative attention to recent developments in South-East Asian studies, she offers a powerful alternative to existing interpretations of the relationship between culture and tradition in the region and beyond. This book addresses not only South-East Asianists, but all those with an interest in the anthropology of religion and post-colonial cultures. Power and Intimacy in the Christian Phillipines has won the Harry J. Benda prize for 2001.
