Описание: Riding tubes in Venezuela. BASE jumping in Europe. Climbing big walls in Yosemite. Riding bulls in Texas. These first-person stories from John Long, while vastly different in content, share an identifiable emotional texture, tone and delivery, and fundamentally are of one piece. This is storytelling at its best--nonfiction that reads like fiction. In Stories from the Dirt, the action leaves you breathless, but it`s the characters that really leave the lasting mark. In John`s own words, "the secret sauce of this collection is that while the action rarely flags, it never leaves the people behind--like all stories worth a damn, [this collection] is all about the people."

Описание:
Joyce and her husband, Gordon, are celebrating their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary with a trip to Tuscany. But as they watch the golden light touch the nearby hills on their second morning, Joyce is gripped by jolts of excruciating pain in her abdomen. She is rushed to the hospital by ambulance and undergoes emergency surgery. During her ordeal, Joyce is comforted by out-of-body experiences that reveal startling truths--among them: that there is no need to fear death.
With a sacred promise to keep, and the help of dedicated medical teams in both Italy and Canada, Joyce embarks on the slow road to recovery. And Joyce and Gordon become more a part of Tuscan life on their holiday than they ever could have imagined.
Joyce Ganong has been writing all of her life, but No Fear in Death's Light is her first book.
Fascinated by stories told by international visitors to her family's dinner table, she began her own travels at age twenty-one as a volunteer teacher in Tanzania. Her letters from Africa echoed that ancient thrum of life--her way of sharing her experiences with family and friends, and introducing them to the unfamiliar.
Africa anchored Joyce's awareness of the importance of nutrition. Returning to Canada, she earned a Master of Science degree in Human Nutrition. Again, she wanted to share her knowledge and was at the forefront of nutrition education, developing food and nutrition teaching tools to engage students in the delicious art of eating well. Her articles on health and wellness appeared in national and local publications, including Canadian Living and B.C. Runner.
Joyce's passion for building community has been widely recognized; she is recipient of a Rotary Integrity Award and the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal for her community service, among other accolades.
When she's not writing, Joyce spends time with her husband, Gordon, her two daughters, and grandchildren, and she continues to volunteer. She served as Co-Chair of Vital Conversations, now a national initiative of the Community Foundations of Canada. She lives on Bowen Island, B.C.
Praise for No Fear in Death's Light
"By holding a palpable tension between her vivid medical experiences and the mystery of near-death encounters, Joyce has woven a story that enthralls and inspires. Her clarity and courage allow us to glimpse the numinous." --Diane Marshall, MA, Registered Clinical Counsellor, co-founder of B.C. Brain (Head) Injury Association, Director of Caring Circle
"Joyce Ganong has written an extraordinary book. She vividly recalls and describes exactly what is happening to her and her body, at a level of detail that transports the reader into the situation, while at the same time retaining an ethereal, spiritual perspective that transcends space and time. I enjoyed--no, devoured--this book, in which Joyce has truly reassured her readers that Death is not to be feared, and that Life is meant to be filled with love . . . . That is her legacy and I am changed by having read her story." --Carol Mackinnon, MA, Leadership Coach, co-author of Leadership Alchemy: The Magic of the Leader Coach
"Joyce paints amazingly vivid word pictures. I can see, feel, taste, and smell each and every experience. It is as if I am there with her through every step of the journey. And what an incredible journey it is. A very sensuous and deeply spiritual trip. This is a very moving and courageous book that is hard to put down." --Shirley Robertson, MA, former Regional Director, Government of Canada

Описание: Found in scores of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American narratives, the action-adventure heroine leaves the domestic space to pursue an independent adventure. This bold heroine tramps alone through the forests, demonstrates tremendous physical strength, braves dangers without hesitation, enters the public realm to earn money, and even kills her enemies when necessary. Despite her transgressions of social norms, the narrator portrays this heroine in a positive light and lauds her for her bravery and daring. The Action-Adventure Heroine offers a wide-ranging look at this enigmatic character in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American literature.Unlike the “tomboy” or the American frontierswoman, this more encompassing figure has been understudied until now. The action-adventure heroine has special relevance today, as scholars are forcefully challenging the once-dominant separate-spheres paradigm and offering alternative interpretations of gender conventions in nineteenth-century America. The hard-body action heroine in our contemporary popular culture is often assumed to be largely a product of the twentieth-century television and film industries (and therefore influenced by the women’s movement); however, physically strong, agile, sometimes violent female figures have appeared in American popular culture and literature for a very long time.Smith analyzes captivity narratives, war narratives, stories of manifest destiny, dime novels, and tales of seduction to reveal the long literary history of female protagonists who step into traditionally masculine heroic roles to win the day. Smith’s study includes such authors as Herman Mann, Mercy Otis Warren, Catharine Maria Sedgwick, E.D.E.N. Southworth, Edward L. Wheeler, and many more who are due for critical reassessment. In examining the female hero—with her strength, physicality, and violence—in eighteenth-and nineteenth-century American narratives, The Action-Adventure Heroine represents an important contribution to the field of American studies.
