New Releases by Elizabeth Edwards

This teaching anthology collects texts from the vast archive of medieval Arthurian literature. It includes selections from mainstream canonical authors, such as Geoffrey of Monmouth and Malory, and more peripheral works, such as the Melech Artus (a 12th-century Hebrew text) and the Dutch Morien (featuring a black knight). Characters and authors showcase the diversity of race, religion, gender, and gender orientation of the Arthurian tradition. The anthology and its accompanying website offer a variety of genres, ranging from visual art to historical chronicles and from romance to drama. Arthurian works, while concentrated in England, France, and Wales, are found across medieval Europe, and thus this anthology includes texts from Iceland to Greece. The Broadview Anthology of Medieval Arthurian Literature is ideally suited to teaching: it includes full texts, such as Chrétien de Troyes’ Knight of the Cart, Chaucer’s Wife of Bath’s Tale, and the anonymous Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, for classes that wish to study a whole work in depth; it also includes shorter excerpts of parallel incidents, such as the Uther and Igraine story, so that students can compare a story’s treatment by different authors. Marginal glosses assist students with the Middle English texts, while introductory notes and explanatory footnotes give students necessary background information.

What is it to practice history in an age in which photographs exist? What is the impact of photographs on the core historiographical practices which define the discipline and shape its enquiry and methods? In Photographs and the Practice of History, Elizabeth Edwards proposes a new approach to historical thinking which explores these questions and redefines the practices at the heart of this discipline. Structured around key concepts in historical methodology which are recognisable to all undergraduates, the book shows that from the mid-19th century onward, photographs have influenced historical enquiry. Exposure to these mass-distributed cultural artefacts is enough to change our historical frameworks even when research is textually-based. Conceptualised as a series of 'sensibilities' rather than a methodology as such, it is intended as a companion to 'how to' approaches to visual research and visual sources. Photographs and the Practice of History not only builds on existing literature by leading scholars: it also offers a highly original approach to historiographical thinking that gives readers a foundation on which to build their own historical practices.

Photographs have had an integral and complex role in many anthropological contexts, from fieldwork to museum exhibitions. This book explores how approaching anthropological photographs as 'history' can offer both theoretical and empirical insights into these roles. Photographs are thought to make problematic history because of their ambiguity and 'rawness'. In short, they have too many meanings. The author refutes this prejudice by exploring, through a series of case studies, precisely the potential of this raw quality to open up new perspectives. Taking the nature of photography as her starting point, the author argues that photographs are not merely pictures of things but are part of a dynamic and fluid historical dialogue, which is active not only in the creation of the photograph but in its subsequent social biography in archive and museum spaces, past and present. In this context, the book challenges any uniform view of anthropological photography and its resulting archives. Drawing on a variety of examples, largely from the Pacific, the book demonstrates how close readings of photographs reveal not only western agendas, but also many layers of differing historical and cross-cultural experiences. That is, photographs can 'spring leaks' to show an alternative viewpoint. These themes are developed further by examining the dynamics of photographs and issues around them as used by contemporary artists and curators and presented to an increasingly varied public. This book convincingly demonstrates photographs' potential to articulate histories other than those of their immediate appearances, a potential that can no longer be neglected by scholars and institutions.

Author Mary Elizabeth Edwards has had a life filled with disappointments and victories. In this book, she walks you through a miraculous journey of transformation that is laced with God's protection and undeniable favor. Her personal experiences prove that our yesterday does not define who we are to become. Every day is another day to begin again through love, forgiveness, and compassion. Winners are produced through adversity. Gold is purified by fire. Testimonies are birthed through tests. No matter how hard life seems, there is always a purpose far greater than what we can see. Here lies the story of Mary - honest, transparent, and insightful. Mercy Found Me tells of a woman who defied all odds, in hopes that you are inspired to do the same.

"Homelessness in the United States is identified as a social problem (Amster, 2008; Gowan, 010; Marvasti, 2003; Stern, 1984). It receives attention from social service agencies, local and national government departments, faith-based institutions, advocacy groups, legal organizations, and grassroots coalitions. It has implications at both local and national levels. The people experiencing homelessness--their unique stories, perspectives, and ways of being--are overshadowed, even usurped, by constituted ideas about homelessness; as a result they themselves are surveilled, categorized, and pathologized. Additionally, the concept of homelessness is hegemonized, disciplined through a master narrative imbricated with crisis, pity, victim-blaming, medicalization, and criminalization. This rhizoanalysis considers how the current master narrative of homelessness as a social problem is a form of oppression and domination fed by neoliberalism and often evaluated by whether one is a "contributing member of society." The intractability of this narrative makes it very difficult to radically imagine a construction of homelessness beyond that which is, yet, people are resisting this status quo and imagining a different future in which they hope to live. Informed by a postmodern, anarchist, feminist epistemology, I apply various methods in this dissertation, including critical storytelling, performance narrative, and qualitative inquiry with people experiencing homelessness, to (a) understand and expose the dominant narrative about homelessness, (b) identify ways that homelessness is used as a resistance tactic against oppression, and (c) imagine new ways of engaging with each other and the world around us."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Borderline: Swan Song of an Unfinished Life is the story of my mother, Helen Louise, and her suicide, how it affected my life, and my own 'dance' with the California Mental Health system. You will laugh. You will cry. You will look at the issue of mental health from a 'survivor's' viewpoint, and come to understand this (still) 'taboo' subject a bit better than before. This life is a journey--sometimes full of sunshine and laughter--sometimes full of storms and silence. I hope that in sharing my personal journey, it will help you with yours.

The Proving Ground relates a brief interlude in the daily lives of Blake and Amanda Edwards. Blake is the pastor at a small church in an almost exclusively white Midwestern community and Amanda is his wife. At first glance the story appears to be a routine snapshot in the day to day lives of Blake and Amanda. It ends up being about hidden personal prejudices; prejudices against other races, other faiths, other lifestyles. Ultimately, it is a story of self-realization and eventual personal confession of these prejudices as Blake and Amanda independently arrive at the conviction that God's love is not based on any worldly factors. Rather God's love is for everyone equally and when that love is genuine, it is blind to worldly influences. Following their respective journeys from self-pride and self-reliance to God-dependence, Blake and Amanda are inspired to do their part--personally and in their community--to break the vicious and subtle cycle of self-elevation in deference to the salvation-offering cycle of true love of all humanity.

Photography, Anthropology and History examines the complex historical relationship between photography and anthropology, and in particular the strong emergence of the contemporary relevance of historical images. Thematically organized, and focusing on the visual practices developed within anthropology as a discipline, this book brings together a range of contemporary and methodologically innovative approaches to the historical image within anthropology. Importantly, it also demonstrates the ongoing relevance of both the historical image and the notion of the archive to recent anthropological thought. As current research rethinks the relationship between photography and anthropology, this volume will serve as a stimulus to this new phase of research as an essential text and methodological reference point in any course that addresses the relationship between anthropology and visuality.

The Cold War was a crucial conflict in American history. At stake was whether the world would be dominated by the forces of totalitarianism led by the Soviet Union, or inspired by the principles of economic and political freedom embodied in the United States. The Cold War established America as the leader of the free world and a global superpower. It shaped U.S. military strategy, economic policy, and domestic politics for nearly 50 years. In A Brief History of the Cold War, distinguished scholars Lee Edwards and Elizabeth Edwards Spalding recount the pivotal events of this protracted struggle and explain the strategies that eventually led to victory for freedom. They analyze the development and implementation of containment, détente, and finally President Reagan's philosophy: "they lose, we win." The Cold War teaches important lessons about statecraft and America's indispensable role in the world.

Almost all museums hold photographs in their collections, and museum professionals and their audiences engage with photographs in a myriad of ways. Yet despite some three decades of critical museology and photographic theory, and an extensive debate on the politics of representation, outside art museums, almost no critical attention has been given specifically to the roles, purposes and lives of these photographs within museums. This book brings into focus the ubiquitous yet entirely unconsidered work that photographs are put to in museums. The authors' argument is that there is an economy of photographs in museums which is integral to the processes of the museum, and integral to the understanding of museums. The international contributors, drawn from curators and academics, reflect a range of visual and museological expertise. After an introduction setting out the range of questions and problems, the first part addresses broad curatorial strategies and ways of thinking about photographs in museums. Shifting the emphasis from curatorial practices and anxieties to the space of the gallery, this is followed by a series of case studies of exhibitionary practices and the museum strategies that support them. The third section focuses on the role of photographs in the museum articulation of ’difficult histories’. A final section addresses photograph collections in a digital environment. New technologies and new media have transformed the management, address and purposing in photographs in museums, from cataloguing practices to streaming on social media. These growing practices challenge both traditional hierarchies of knowledge in museums and the location of authority about photographs. The volume emerges from PhotoCLEC, a HERA funded project on museums and the photographic legacy of the colonial past in a postcolonial and multicultural Europe.

"Ashanti's Quest" is a children's fantasy novel from Elizabeth Edwards but can be enjoyed by adults and children alike. The novel tells the story of Alstan, a nation built both on land and in water, which comes under attack from the Dark Forces from the Voltan Mountains. 1000 years before, the Alstan general ignored prophecies which warned of a great war and his nation suffered the consequences. Now, as history threatens to repeat itself, the present general of Alstan determines not to make the same mistakes and consults the Book of Truths to save his nation. Against the wishes of her parents, Ashanti, a fourteen year old warrior apprentice, is sent on a quest to the Hetron Convention to bring back the Nagxov Orb, Alstan's only hope. She is pursued tirelessly by the Shadows of the Dark Forces and experiences many strange adventures along the way. Battling prejudice and doubt, she finally returns to Alstan with the orb. Through the unlikely assistance of her daydreaming younger sister and the arrogant prince of a neighbouring nation, Ashanti attempts to trick her enemy and fulfil the ancient prophecy. But is she to find that she is too late? "Ashanti's Quest" is the first in the series of "The Alstan Chronicles" but is also a complete story, to be enjoyed in its own right.

A new work on the history and genealogy of Dutchman Albertus Hendricksen and his descendants through four generations encompassing the history of New Netherland's South River colony and colonial and provincial Pennsylvania. Generations span the period from colonial possession by the Netherlands, Sweden and eventually the English who granted the territory to William Penn. The history continues through the time when the Penn family opened up new wilderness areas that would become Lancaster, York and Cumberland Counties where the Hendricksens/Hendricks were among the first settlers. The research project identified new evidence and documentation that significantly alters currently-accepted lineages. Evidence-based research has resolved many incorrect identification issues in the Hendricksen lineage. The book includes full transcriptions and images of many documents (deeds, probate records, warrants, etc.) along with an extensive use of footnotes and source citations.

ABSTRACT: The increase in online programs has been accompanied by the need for library instruction and support for online students. Students enrolled in off-campus and/or online programs have to be able to successfully access and use digital library resources to complete course requirements. Using and evaluating resources is an element of information literacy, a key component in critical thinking and lifelong learning, which is addressed by accrediting agencies. An embedded librarian project in an online graduate educational technology course demonstrated the feasibility of an embedded librarian for online graduate courses at the University of Florida, resulting in benefits for students and a pilot for this OnMed Embedded Librarian case study.

For the technology startup raising venture capital, the freelancer, social entrepreneur, and coffee shop owner, Edwards has written a modern textbook for entrepreneurship, covering all aspects of starting a business, including finance, branding, advertising, PR, accounting, and business law. Part manual, part manifesto, the nearly 400-page text presents proven strategies for launching a startup on a shoestring budget. In Startup: The Complete Handbook for Launching a Company for Less, Edwards draws upon her own experiences as a venture capital investor and bootstrap entrepreneur to outline over $100,000 in savings with do-it-yourself guides and personal finance strategies. The book explains how to create a profitable business model, conserve cash, and get operational fast, giving equal attention to the risks and wealth creation opportunities business ownership provides. Startup tackles both strategy and tactics - discussing high-level business strategy concepts and illustrating back of the napkin calculations to help entrepreneurs make good decisions. Edwards offers three tests for feasibility (to minimize risk), 14 creative ways to finance a startup, and a formulaic approach to marketing (to grow revenue). In concise, plain English, Startup explains the finer points of venture funding, angel investors, grants, SBA loans, intellectual property, and corporate structure, and includes templates of business plans, press releases, and startup expenses.
