Folklore of the Sea: Myths and Legends of the Maritime World

Baker M: Folklore of the Sea

Folklore of the Sea

Myths and legends of the maritime world

The émigré merchant Stephen Girard of Philadelphia (1750-1831) embodied many of the values associated with the revolutionary American republic he chose to call home. After haphazardly arriving in Philadelphia in 1776, the Frenchman benefited mightily from the economic opportunities of his volatile era. As he entered maturity, the merchant-banker found meaning through civic leadership and his famous last will and testament, in which he codified his approach to national progress through civic works. Studying Girard's philosophy of engaged citizenship illuminates the cultural forces at work in the early United States.&nbsp; Girard also bequeathed to posterity an enormous cache of archival records, a substantial library, a diverse collection of fine and decorative art, as well as an intriguing assemblage of material culture related to the careers of his "Philosopher Ships," named for his favored authors. This collection creates a rare opportunity to conjure the world inhabited by Girard and his intimates, including his wife Mary Lum Girard, his enslaved woman Hannah, female relations of mixed racial backgrounds, unmarried intimate partners, and business associates. Making use of this remarkable, and underexplored, collection allows Girard's story to transcend an individual's life, shedding light on economy, society, civic culture, labor, family relationships, and global politics at a pivotal moment in history.&nbsp; Portrait of a Citizen is the first modern scholarly study to link the material relics of Girard's life to the history of his heavily litigated will, culminating in the U.S. Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. By viewing Girard's life, works, and memory across the centuries, the book poses persistent and pressing questions about civic belonging in the United States.

The Spellshop

Her boat. Her rules. His music. Their hearts . . . From the queen of cosy fantasy and acclaimed author of The Spellshop, Sea of Charms is a delightful fantasy romance about finding your crew, your family, and moreover, finding yourself. Marin has always belonged on the great blue sea. Betrayed by love, she lives and works as a supply runner, sailing from island to island, delivering an array of goods with Perri the sea serpent and Ree the sailor shrub as her crew. On one of her routine trips to the capital, Alyssium, Marin finds a revolution underway - and a friend in the line of fire. What starts as a rescue evolves into a deal: Marin will keep Dax on as a member of her crew if he pretends to be her boyfriend at the End-of-Harvest Festival back home. But against her better judgment, Marin finds herself intrigued by his stubbornness, his passion for stories, his charming smile - and realizes that perhaps she isn't saving him. Maybe it's the other way around. Set in the same beautiful, cosy world as The Spellshop and The Enchanted Greenhouse, this is the third standalone in Sarah Beth Durst's beloved fantasy series - perfect for both fans and newcomers.

Very Short Introductions

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring

This Very Short Introduction is a general introduction to oral history from the interview to the archive. Douglas A. Boyd examines the oral history interview, recording techniques and strategies, technologies for making oral history accessible, and the legal and ethical implications throughout the work of oral history. Boyd also pays special attention to the role of the archive and the importance of memory. Equally important, this book also examines the world of digital possibilities for utilizing oral history for scholarly, public, community, and personal use.

An area of explosive interest and growth, oral history is a complex discipline not just sequestered to storytelling. The interview is a complex combination of strategy and flexibility, remembering and forgetting, narrative and silence, and cannot escape individual biases and perspectives. This book offers readers a comprehensive and concise overview of oral history from one of the most important figures in the field.

ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.

Tauche ein in einen neuen Band der packenden Küstenkrimi-Serie MORD UND MEER!

Das Seebrückenfest an der Ostsee wird zum Schauplatz eines Albtraums: Hoch über dem Schönberger Strand wird die ehemalige Bürgermeisterin leblos in einer Riesenradgondel entdeckt - inszeniert wie eine makabre Trophäe. Für die Kommissare Anna Larsson und Max Humboldt deutet alles auf eine öffentliche Hinrichtung hin. Doch kaum haben sie einen Hauptverdächtigen im Visier, nimmt der Fall eine dramatische Wendung: Die Tochter des Beschuldigten ist spurlos verschwunden. Wurde sie entführt, um sein Schweigen zu erzwingen, oder ist sie Teil eines noch viel finstereren Plans?

Für Anna und Max beginnt ein nervenzerreißender Wettlauf gegen die Zeit. Sie müssen tief in die dunkle Vergangenheit der Seebrücke eintauchen. Doch je tiefer sie graben, desto deutlicher wird: Der Mörder spielt ein perfides Spiel mit der Polizei und ist bereit, für seine Rache über Leichen zu gehen. Können die Ermittler das verschwundene Mädchen finden - oder fordert das tödliche Geheimnis der Seebrücke ein weiteres Opfer?

MORD UND MEER - Seebrückentod spielt vor der mitreißenden Kulisse der Kieler Förde rund um das Ostseebad Laboe, wo Möwenschreie, salzige Meeresbrisen und norddeutsche Herzlichkeit eine unverwechselbare Atmosphäre für fesselnde Kriminalfälle schaffen. Erneut müssen Anna und Max ihre Differenzen überwinden und ihre unterschiedlichen Stärken kombinieren, um einen mysteriösen Mord aufzuklären, hinter dem mehr steckt, als es zunächst den Anschein hat.
Spannung, Atmosphäre und ein unvergesslicher Einblick in die raue Schönheit der Ostseeküste - Ostseekind Lea Jansen entführt dich in einen mitreißenden Küstenkrimi, der dich von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite fesseln wird.

Jeder Roman der Reihe MORD UND MEER ist in sich abgeschlossen und kann für sich allein gelesen werden.
