Queen Anne's lace / Berkley Prime Crime, 2018 While helping Ruby Wilcox clean up the loft above their shops, China comes upon a box of antique handcrafted lace and old photographs. Following the discovery, she hears a woman humming an old Scottish ballad and smells the delicate scent of lavender. Soon strange things start occurring. Could the building be haunted? F ARDEN Arden, Katherine. The bear and the nightingale: a novel / Del Rey, 2017 A novel inspired by Russian fairy tales follows the experiences of a wild young girl who taps the mysterious powers of a precious necklace given to her father years earlier to save her village from dark and dangerous forces. F BALDACCI Baldacci, David. The fallen / Grand Central Publishing, 2018 Amos Decker and his journalist friend Alex Jamison are visiting the home of Alex's sister in Barronville, a small town in western Pennsylvania that has been hit hard economically. When Decker is out on the rear deck of the house talking with Alex's niece, a precocious eight-year- old, he notices flickering lights and then a spark of flame in the window of the house across the way. When he goes to investigate he finds two dead bodies inside and it's not clear how either man died. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. There's something going on in Barronville that might be the canary in the coal mine for the rest of the country. Faced with a stonewalling local police force, and roadblocks put up by unseen forces, Decker and Jamison must pull out all the stops to solve the case.

  • Graphic Novels: Enticing Teenagers Into the Library
    School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts Department of Information Studies Graphic Novels: Enticing Teenagers into the Library Clare Snowball This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University of Technology March 2011 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: _____________________________ Date: _________________________________ Page i Abstract This thesis investigates the inclusion of graphic novels in library collections and whether the format encourages teenagers to use libraries and read in their free time. Graphic novels are bound paperback or hardcover works in comic-book form and cover the full range of fiction genres, manga (Japanese comics), and also nonfiction. Teenagers are believed to read less in their free time than their younger counterparts. The importance of recreational reading necessitates methods to encourage teenagers to enjoy reading and undertake the pastime. Graphic novels have been discussed as a popular format among teenagers. As with reading, library use among teenagers declines as they age from childhood. The combination of graphic novel collections in school and public libraries may be a solution to both these dilemmas. Teenagers’ views were explored through focus groups to determine their attitudes toward reading, libraries and their use of libraries; their opinions on reading for school, including reading for English classes and gathering information for school assignments; and their liking for different reading materials, including graphic novels.

  • Globalization, Publishing, and the Marketing of “Hispanic” Identities
    Rev9-02 26/2/03 16:33 Página 89 Jill Robbins* ➲ Globalization, Publishing, and the Marketing of “Hispanic” Identities Summary: My article explores the complex Spanish reaction to recent changes in the Spanish-language publishing business as indicative of an ambivalence toward Spain’s place in the new global order, particularly by liberal intellectuals who associate books and bookstores with resistance and solidarity. The purchase of important Spanish publis- hers by international media conglomerates also implies to some a loss of national identity and cultural values, at the same time as the internationalization of the publishing business represents Spain’s incorporation into the European community and the world economy. The European Union, however, and Spain in particular, have globalized and marketed Latin America through business ventures, NGOs and cooperative efforts linked both to the embassies and to the international corporations. The resulting contradictions –the resistance to and welcoming of globalization, the nostalgia for, economic colonization of and rejection of Latin America– affect what is currently published in Spain by Spanish and Latin American authors and how it is marketed. During the summer of 2000, a series of articles appeared in the Spanish daily El País addressing the changes in publishing, both in Spain and abroad, and the pernicious effects of those changes on the real and perceived relevance of bookstores, editors, aut- hors, and books themselves, especially in comparison to the decades immediately follo- wing the Spanish Civil War and World War II. In those years, Leftist Spanish intellec- tuals sensed an affinity with their Latin American counterparts, and that alliance was forged and maintained in Spain through the often clandestine circulation of books by Latin American and exiled Spanish authors.

This report is one of a series of detailed analyses covering five value chains (maize, dairy, mango, potato, and French beans) conducted by USAID-KAVES to identify critical constraints/gaps and prioritize high-return program interventions that will contribute to the program’s core objectives of: Increasing the competitiveness of selected agricultural value chains to mitigate food insecurity, improve nutrition, and increase the incomes of the rural poor; Fostering innovation and adaptive technologies and techniques that improve nutritional outcomes for rural households, sustainably reduce chronic under-nutrition, and increase household consumption of nutrition- dense foods; and Increasing the capacity of local organizations to sustainably undertake value chain work. While drawing upon the extensive body of existing research on targeted Kenyan valued chains, USAID-KAVES analyses further builds on and updates those findings with primary data obtained through field surveys and interviews with value chain participants.

  • The Author Was Never Dead
    THE AUTHOR WAS NEVER DEAD: How Social Media and the Online Literary Community Altered the Visibility of the Translated Author in America Senior Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, MA Undergraduate Program in Independent Interdisciplinary Major (Communication and Literature Studies) Elizabeth Bradfield, Advisor David Sherman, Second Reader In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts by Emily Botto April 2020 Copyright by Emily Botto Botto 2020 Abstract The American publishing industry is notorious for its disinterest in translation. Although its notoriety has made most publishers very aware of the absence of translated literature in America, its perception as an unprofitable venture has prevented publishing houses from investing in the genre and thereby improving the small number of published translations. This thesis explores the possible ways in which translated authors and their readers can alter this perception by utilizing recent technological advances in global social networking. “The Author Was Never Dead” will cover the history of and current environment surrounding literary translation in the U.S. including which translated novels have become successful and how that relates to the visibility of the translated author. Researching the slow growth in the visibility of the translated author and their cultural ambassadors on social media and online communities provides insight into how and why a translated book can gain popularity in a country known for its literary ethnocentrism. Acknowledgments Thanks to my amazing advisor, Elizabeth Bradfield, for always making time for me, answering my questions, and following my logic even when it threatened to fall out the window.
