Christine Wade est une écrivaine captivée par le fleuve Hudson, une passion née lors de ses études au Bard College et qu'elle a entretenue toute sa vie sur ses rives à New York et dans les Catskill Mountains. Son premier roman a exploré la connexion profonde entre l'humanité et le monde naturel, reflétant sa grande familiarité avec le paysage fluvial. L'œuvre de Wade se penche sur la relation complexe entre les personnes et leur environnement, offrant des réflexions pertinentes sur la manière dont notre environnement façonne nos vies et nos expériences.
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.
