Tea for the Tillerman $6.32 Cat Stevens tends to be lumped in with the early-’70s singer-songwriter school led by James Taylor and Carole King, but he actually fits in rather neatly with such wistful English contemporaries as Nick Drake, Syd Barrett, and Donovan. Tea for the Tillerman’s “Wild World,” “Into White,” and “Longer Boats” indicate that he may have been a more gifted tunesmith than the lot of them. As with the best… |

”Now I ain’t sayin’ she’s a gold digger”: African American femininities in rap music lyrics. $49.99 This dissertation reports the results of a study about representations of (Black) women, sexuality, and gender relations in rap music lyrics. I explore the extent to which rap music lyrics reproduce or challenge gendered, racialized, and sexual stereotypes of African American women. I ask how men rappers differ from women rappers in depicting (Black) women and themselves. I show what qualities or practices, particularly sexual qualities and practices, are considered as feminine or womanly in rap music and hip-hop culture and how these qualities and practices are similar to or differ from mainstream gender hegemony. I examine whether and how rap music lyrics construct a hierarchical and complementary relationship between (Black) masculinity and femininity. I ask which feminine meanings and practices are treated as “pariah femininities” and point to features of hegemonic masculinity in hip-hop culture and the broader African American community. Finally, I ask whether and how gendering practices represented in rap music lyrics constitute resistant femininities and challenge White and middle-class gender hegemony.;I created a database of rap songs on platinum albums with an original release date of 1984 through 2000. I randomly selected 450 songs from the sampling frame for content analysis. In general, I find that rap music both reproduces and contests prevailing gender, race, class and sexual ideologies and social structures. My analysis of rap lyrics suggests that many male rappers depict (Black) women as promiscuous sexual “freaks” and “bitches” who have sex with men for money and/or other material goods. In many lyrics, they describe their desire for and engagement in sexual activities with freaks and bitches, but they do not express respect. Some women rappers reproduce gendered and racialized stereotypes in their lyrics as well. Still, other women and men rappers challenge these negative images in their songs and offer alternatives. Instead of calling for a |

‘Licentious Liberty’ In A Brazilian Gold-Mining Region $9.95 To studies of Brazilian slavery this book adds a new dimension by showing how it developed in a region where mining was the chief commercial activity and how important a role gender played in this frontier setting in creating opportunities for slaves to achieve some measure of autonomy, compared with slaves who worked in sugar-cane and coffee-growing areas.The interactions among masters, slaves, and royal officials were profoundly shaped by the accessibility and widespread dispersal of gold deposits, the emergence of small urban centers in which commercial activities thrived, the sexual division of labor among slaves working in mining and commerce, and the changing sex ratio within the population of free white colonists settling in the region.Focusing attention on the changing status, autonomy, and influence of nonwhite women, the author argues, is one of the most effective ways of understanding the economic, demographic, and cultural evolution of the slave society as a whole.Kathleen J. Higgins is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Iowa. |

250 Years of Lomonosov Porcelain St. Petersburg 1744-1994 $94 Ranging from snuff-boxes to monumental, multi-figured centerpieces for the Tsar, the display of masterpieces featured in this book reveal Peter the Great’s fascination with porcelain-the “white gold.” Porcelain was invented at the court of Saxony in 1718, which led some 25 years later to the establishment of the Imperial Porcelain Factory in St. Petersburg. The tradition of fine manufacturing established there continued through the Imperial and Soviet eras, but it was the demands of the factory’s Imperial and aristocratic patrons in the 18th century that led to the wonderfully high artistic and technical standards that are still upheld today.Author Biography: Galina Agarkova is a writer who specializes in the Decorative Arts. Author Biography: Nataliya Petrova is an Art Historian and has been Director of the Leningrad Porcelain Factory Museum for 20 years. |

28 Day Winter: A Snowboarding Narrative $39.95 Every year the Burton snowboard team travels south chasing snow. 28 Day Winter: A Snowboarding Narrative documents a specific moment in time: August 2006, when Dean “Blotto” Gray, Jeff Curtes, and Adam Moran circled the globe with the world’s best snowboarders. These young athletes, all between the ages of 15 and 30, comprise an elite team of Olympic gold medalists, legendary pioneers, and big mountain champions. Burton’s photographers not only snowboarded right alongside these power players through the life-threatening courses and first descents down Methven and Wanaka, New Zealand and Termas De Chillan, Chile, capturing the airborne 720-degree rotations and flights across man-made and natural obstacles, but also accompanied them in their travels and downtime. An intimate and penetrating glance into the lives and feats of professional athletes, 28 Day Winter is an epic photographic narrative that captures these snowboarders pushing the limits of riding in the ultimate conditions, documents the ultimate trip, and inspires us all to ride. Snowboarders featured in the book include Terje Haakonsen, the Norwegian legend; Shaun White, the gnarly American Olympic gold medalist; Nicolas Muller, the Swiss freestyle champion; Kelly Clark, Olympic gold medalist and big mountain champion; Hannah Teeter, Olympic gold medalist; and Victoria Jalous, the Canadian wunderkind. |

6000 Tons Of Gold $21.56 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.Excerpt from book:Where Gold Was As DrossCHAPTER III. . It was dusk when the six horsemen, descending the still tortuous path, reached the bottom of the mountain-guarded valley. They had been challenged by a small band of Indians when they first entered the narrow pass between the mountains two hours before. Now again three dark-skinned sentinels suddenly barred their way with a gruff command which the white men did not understand. Casimiro responded, giving what was probably a countersign. The shadows were so dark that the three guardsmen of the pass did not recognize their chief until he spoke. When they heard his voice, they made obeisance to him, and he conversed with them for a few moments. The party moved on presently, and came at once upon a scene quite different from the wild and barren chaos of the mountain-side. It was a bit of Nature’s most peaceful loveliness thrown down in the midst of her most majestic confusion ; it was an emerald in a setting of jet, an oasis of beauty in a desert of shapeless grandeur. There was waving grass, nodding flowers, and a grove of stately trees. The twilight softened the grimshapes of the surrounding heights. Nature’s face had changed suddenly from frowns to smiles, and the transformation was bewildering. The visitors were puzzled and delighted. They had seen no sign of verdure from the pass above, when Casimiro pointed out what seemed to be but a tiny patch of white sand. It was not a wide expanse, this spot of fertility in a sterile wilderness, but it afforded pasturage for quite a large herd of horses, and among the trees beyond was a numerous village of huts. A number of natives caught sight of the party, and came to meet them. They received the chiefs, Casimiro especially, with many signs of respect and pleasure. The white men they regarded with curious interest. Dismounting . |

A Bright and Guilty Place: Murder, Corruption, and L.A.’s Scandalous Coming of Age $1.12 A captivating chronicle of how the City of Angels lost its soulLos Angeles was the fastest growing city in the world, mad with oil fever, get-rich-quick schemes, celebrity scandals, and religious fervor. It was also rife with organized crime, with a mayor in the pocket of the syndicates and a DA taking bribes to throw trials. In A Bright and Guilty Place, Richard Rayner narrates the entwined lives of two men, Dave Clark and Leslie White, who were caught up in the crimes, murders, and swindles of the day. Over a few transformative years, as the boom times shaded into the Depression, the adventures of Clark and White would inspire pulp fiction and replace L.A.’s reckless optimism with a new cynicism. Together, theirs is the tale of how the city of sunshine got noir. When A Bright and Guilty Place begins, Leslie White is a naïve young photographer who lands a job as a crime-scene investigator in the L.A. district attorney’s office. There he meets Dave Clark, a young, movie-star handsome lawyer and a rising star prosecutor with big ambitions. The cases they tried were some of the first “trials of the century,” starring dark-hearted oil barons, sexually perverse starlets, and hookers with hearts of gold. Los Angeles was in the grip of organized crime, and White was dismayed to see that only the innocent paid while the powerful walked free. But Clark was entranced by L.A.’s dangerous lures and lived the high life, marrying a beautiful woman, wearing custom-made suits, yachting with the rich and powerful, and jaunting off to Mexico for gambling and girls. In a shocking twist, when Charlie Crawford, the Al Capone of L.A., was found dead, the chief suspect was none other than golden boy Dave Clark. A Bright and Guilty Place is narrative nonfiction at its most gripping. Key to the tale are the story of the theft of water from the Owens River Valley that let L.A grow; the Teapot Dome scandal that brought |

A SERENA, CON- CEPCION AND OTHER CITIES FOUNDED The history of these early days in Chile has its Pocahontas story. It runs in this wise : As the state of affairs at Santiago was in a critical condition, Val- divia determined to send Monroy and Miranda, with six companions in arms and thirty men on horseback, to Pern for assistance. With spurs and caparisons of gold, that they might make an enviable impression upon their countrymen in Peru, they set forth overland. At Copiapo they were attacked by a certain Coteo, whose band destroyed the whole company, sparing only the two leaders. These they brought before the ulmen, who decided to put them to death forthwith, by some sort of refined torture. The ul men-’s wife thereupon interceded for their lives, and, having softened the cacique’s savage heart, unbound the captives, dressed their wounds, and then made a certain request of them, which was in substance that they should teach her son to ride a horse. This they promised to do. But while they were giving his young highness his first lesson, Monroy stabbed him; at the same time Miranda seized a lance and put the guards to flight. Not stopping to say adieu to theirbenefactress, they made their escape across the Ata- cama desert to Cuzco. This treachery the Copiapaus avenged three years afterward by massacring a party of forty Spaniards. Vaco de Castro was at that |

This they promised to do. But while they were giving his young highness his first lesson, Monroy stabbed him; at the same time Miranda seized a lance and put the guards to flight.

When the wind blew from the land he caught nothing, or but little at best, for it was a bitter and black-winged wind, and rough waves rose up to meet it But when the wind blew to the shore, the fish came in from the deep, and swam into the meshes of his nets, and he took them to the market-place and sold them. Every evening he went out upon the sea, and one evening the net was so heavy that hardly could he draw it into the boat. And he laughed, and said to himself, ‘ Surely I have caught all the fish that swim, or snared some dull monster that will be a marvel to men, or some thing of horror that the great Queen will desire,’ and putting forth all his strength, he tugged at the coarse ropes till, like lines of blue enamel round a vase of bronze, the long veins rose up on hisarms. He tugged at the thin ropes, and nearer and nearer came the circle of flat corks, and the net rose at last to the top of the water. But no fish at all was in it, nor any monster or thing of horror, but only a little Mermaid lying fast asleep. Her hair was as a wet fleece of gold, and each separate hair as a thread of fine gold in a cup of glass. Her body was as white ivory, and her tail was of silver and pearl. Silver and pearl was her tail, and the green weeds of the sea coiled round it; and like sea-shells were her ears, and her lips were like sea-coral. The cold waves dashed over her cold breasts,and the salt glistened upon her eyelids. So beautiful was she that when the young Fisherman saw her he was filled with wonder, and he put out his hand and drew the net close to him, and leaning over the side he clasped her in his arms. And when he touched her, she gave a cry… |

A Perfect Circle Albums $9.25 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The discography of A Perfect Circle, an alternative rock American supergroup, consists of three studio albums, a video album, eight singles and ten music videos. A Perfect Circle is the brainchild of Billy Howerdel. After hearing demos of Howerdel’s music, Maynard James Keenan, the lead singer of Tool, offered his services as vocalist. Howerdel agreed, and the band formed in 1999. They were then joined by bassist/violinist Paz Lenchantin, guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen, formerly of Failure, and drummer Tim Alexander, formerly of Primus. Soon after entering the studio to record their first album, Alexander was replaced by Josh Freese of The Vandals. Mer de Noms was released in May 2000, selling 188,000 copies its debut week. The band embarked on a number of headlining tours all over the world to promote the album which was certified gold by the RIAA one month after its release, and platinum just four months later. While preparing for their second album, Lenchantin and Van Leeuwen left the band to pursue other projects. They were replaced by bassist Jeordie White (Marilyn Manson) and guitarist Danny Lohner, both of whom had been involved in the production of Mer de Noms and Emotive. Lohner performed only one track on the album before he was replaced by James Iha, formerly of the Smashing Pumpkins. Thirteenth Step was released in September 2003, selling 231,000 copies its debut week. The band followed the release by touring throughout North America, Europe and Japan for the remainder of the year. In 2004, the band continued touring in Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Europe, concluding in the late-spring in the United States. The album was certified gold just six weeks after release, and platinum in March 2006. The third album, eMOTIVe, was relea… More: |

A Treasury of Regrets $3.99 For police agent and investigator Aristide Ravel, the teeming streets and alleyways of Paris are a constant source of activity. And in the unruly climate of 1797, when gold and food are scarce, citizens will stop at very little to get what they need.When Jeannette Moineau, an illiterate servant girl, is accused of poisoning the master of the house where she works, Ravel cannot believe she is guilty of the crime. With stubborn witnesses, a mysterious white powder, and stolen goods all stacked against her, however, he knows it will not be easy to clear her of the charges. But Ravel finds an unexpected ally in Laurence, a young widow of the house, whose past surprisingly intersects with his own.In a large household brimming with bickering and resentment, everyone seems to have a motive for poisoning old Martin Dupont. But as more family members turn up dead, the list of suspects rapidly dwindles. Tensions rise and Ravel and Laurence must probe the secrets of the city’s crafty politicians and confidence artists for clues to clear Jeannette’s name. Finding information, though, in dissolute postrevolutionary Paris can lead to costly and dangerous demands.From the author of Game of Patience comes a new historical mystery, bringing alive the sights and sounds of eighteenth-century Paris—brimming with atmospheric details, scandal, and murder.Praise for Game of Patience“Alleyn knows her French Revolution, creates a complex brainteaser of a mystery, and excels in making her characters believable. In short, this book has everything.”—Library Journal “The Paris of 1796 comes alive in Alleyn’s fast-paced novel. Readers will be surprised by the ending, with its twisted scenario.”—Historical Novels Review“Grounded by a complex, haunted hero…the suspense in this layered mystery builds slowly but reaches a breakneck |

UCHAREST is Bucharest, and therefore is not in the least like any other place in the world. Just as a Roumanian is a Roumanian, without a shadow of resemblance to a Turk, a Bosnian, a Galician, a Serb, a Montenegrin, or a Greek. It is not the East, still less the West. You see that directly, for though your banker gives you liras against your letter of credit, you look round in vain for the minarets and the veiled women in white cerecloths. It is neither flesh, nor fowl, nor good red-herring. You can drink braga like a Bulgarian, sherbet like a Mussulman, beer like a German student, or petit Bordeaux like a Paris bourgeois. You can eat your dinnerlying down on a sofa, with your repast on a little round, low Turkish table, not a span high, or you can banquet off mahogany on castors. You can sup oft’ Turkish halixke, or Russian pilaff, or Hungarian paprica, or even the biftecks saignants of ” Albion the Perfidious.” You can curl yourself upon a divan in a delightful, Bohemian sort of way, or you can go to bed in sober, decorous fashion between a pair of sheets, with an eiderdown quilt and a brass foot-rail. You may have your shaving-water brought by a dapper French garçon, or a lumpish Swiss Kellner, or a glittering Albanian, or a gold-earringed Hungarian rendais, or even by a Jäger in hunting clothes and a plume of white feathers, like his Serene Highness the Grand Duke of Katzenbuckel. If you go out in your elegant carriage that would do credit to the Bois, your horses can stumble knee-deep into crevasses that yawn in the roadway and play the very mischief with your patent springs. If you become tired of being jolted, and thumped, and bumped about, and are rash enough to get out and walk, you can sink over the tops of yourlacquered boots in white |

The band continues to tour and released a new album, Traffic, on 28 April 2008. ABC were formed in 1980 in the city of Sheffield, after Martin Fry, a music journalist, interviewed the band Vice Versa for his fanzine Modern Drugs. They adopted Fry as lead vocalist and changed their name to ABC. The revamped band were pigeon-holed as part of the New Romantic movement of the time, which included the likes of Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet. Although the band would offer many stylistic spins within its career, it is best known for combining synthesizers with orchestra to produce a polished, bright pop-oriented sound. The first single, “Tears Are Not Enough”, made the UK Top 20 in 1981. Soon afterwards, David Robinso… More: |

Across The Border; A Play Of The Present, In One Act And Four Scenes $14.98 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:SCENE II textit{rHERE is a moment of pitch-blackness. Then waves of darkness, as it were, are sensed to drive across the stage. From darkness the waves change to thick gray, to thin silver, through which indistinct shapes become visible, and the twinkle of lights. The mists clear. The interior of a cottage is revealed. The walls are sheathed in dark wood. There is no ceiling. In the rear wall, to the right, is a row of casement windows, through which can be seen, in far distance, a sky of palest sunset gold, which darkens, as the scene progresses, and is strewn with stars. Outside the windows are vines in flower. To the left of the windows is a wide Dutch door, with the upper half flung back. Through the door can be seen a wall of plum-colored brick, half masked with flowering vines and fruit trees in blossom. In the wall at the left is another row of casement windows. In the wall at the right is a great fireplace, where a glowing wood-fire burns low. At right angles to the hearth is a low-backed settle. There are benches beneath the casements, a dark chest against the wall at right front, a table with two textit{chairs at the center. Against the wall left back a narrow dark dresser bears some pewter cups and flagons. On the window ledges are flowering plants. On the table a low dish of spring flowers. On the chimney’piece, textit{the table, and the window-ledge at the left are lighted candles in metal candlesticks. The time is early evening. The room throughout is indistinct with shadows. textit{On the settle, in the fire-glow, The Old WOMAN textit{sits knitting something white.

Eric Holder became the first African American to serve as United States Attorney General. Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie were the first African Americans to win Grammy awards.

All Bottled Up $9.7 Call center worker Viola White makes a living selling dream vacations. Too bad her own life is a litany of unfilled fantasies. Prime example–the boss she pines for barely knows she exists. Now that she’s won a trip to a Mexican beach resort, though, she vows to shake things up. Instead she winds up alone, empty handed and with a sore toe from the beautiful bottle she’s tripped over. A bottle that’s purple, gold–and stuffed with over six feet of blue-eyed, black-haired hunk. If anyone could teach her how to seduce her boss, it’s this sexy genie. Jerod can’t believe his bad luck. Three thousand years of granting frivolous wishes, and now he’s stuck playing matchmaker. A series of sensual lessons later, he finds there’s something different about this shy Viola. Something that tempts him to try to break free of his curse and make a life for himself–with her. All he has to do is convince Viola that the man of her dreams is a dud. And the right man for the job of loving her is a genie. |
