Christine Wade è una scrittrice affascinata dal fiume Hudson, una passione accesa durante il suo periodo al Bard College e che ha mantenuto per tutta la vita lungo le sue rive a New York City e nelle Catskill Mountains. Il suo romanzo d'esordio ha esplorato la profonda connessione tra l'umanità e il mondo naturale, riflettendo la sua profonda familiarità con il paesaggio fluviale. L'opera di Wade approfondisce l'intricato rapporto tra le persone e il loro ambiente, offrendo spunti profondi su come i nostri dintorni modellano le nostre vite e le nostre esperienze.
Against the backdrop of the Catskills just before the Revolutionary War, a haunting narrative unfolds as a woman grapples with her husband's mysterious disappearance. Left to fend for herself and her children, she navigates the challenges of survival and the emotional turmoil of abandonment. This beautifully written debut captures the tension of the era while exploring themes of loss, resilience, and the struggles of a family in crisis.
In this important book, well known Comparativist, Howard J. Wiarda, traces the long and controversial history of culture studies, and the relations of political culture and identity politics to political science. Under attack from structuralists, institutionalists, Marxists, and dependency writers, Wiarda examines and assesses the reasons for these attacks and why political culture went into decline only to have a new and transcendent renaissance and revival in the writings of Inglehart, Fukuyama, Putnam, Huntington and many others.
