Book excerpt: Published on occasion of the exhibition Goddess, Heroine, Beast: Anna Hyatt Huntington's New York Sculpture, 1902-1936, this exhibition catalogue celbrates the life and work of New York City sculptor, Anna Hyatt Huntington (1876-1973). Hyatt Huntington's work is displayed in many of New York's leading institutions and outdoor spaces, including Columbia University, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Academy of Design, the New-York Historical Society, the Hispanic Society, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Central Park, Riverside Park, and the Bronx Zoo. Despite the presence of her sculptures throughout the city, Hyatt Huntington is not well-recognized today. This publication aims to redress that by focusing on her noted New York career, including the first public monument in New York City by a woman: her Joan of Arc on Riverside Drive and 93rd street. Over thirteen feet high, her martial equestrian heroine, clad in armor from head to toe and cast in bronze, was also the city's first public monument to a historical woman. Meanwhile, Hyatt Huntington had become famous for her animal sculptures that combined ferocious spirit with skillful realism, many of which are included in this exhibition catalogue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many are familiar with Joseph Campbell's theory of the hero's journey, the idea that every man from Moses to Hercules grows to adulthood while battling his alter-ego. This book explores the universal heroine's journey as she quests through world myth. Numerous stories from cultures as varied as Chile and Vietnam reveal heroines who battle for safety and identity, thereby upsetting popular notions of the passive, gentle heroine. Only after she has defeated her dark side and reintegrated can the heroine become the bestower of wisdom, the protecting queen and arch-crone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greek mythologies and folklore about ancient Greek, Gods, and empire had always aroused curiosity. One among the most vicious and powerful characters in Green folklore was Medusa. Medusa, the serpent haired monstrous, was one among the three Gorgons sisters in Greek mythology who were the daughters of the sea god Phorcys and Ceto the goddess of monsters. Cursed by the goddess Athena, Medusa became more monstrous and her penetrating gaze could make any one turn to stone. Medusa was often represented as a winged female with snakes as her hair and wide mouth with tongue lolling out. Oracle prophecy, Curse from gods, and magical gadgets have always been part of Greek mythologies, the life journey of Perseus played a remarkable shift that somehow led to the tragic death of Medusa. However, the tragic fate of Medusa being raped by Poseidon and beheaded by Perseus will really make us sympathize for her. Let’s have a journey through the eventful folklore of the beautiful Medusa who turned into a monstrous beast.

The king of the Lycans, Wayan Feign, knows and sends his men to kill them. It is unsuccessful, which sends Gelia, head gamma and sister to the alpha, to the Lycan Kingdom. Little does either of them know that Gelia and Wayan are fated mates. She is hell-bent on starting a war between the two kingdoms while he is hell-bent on mating her. But her brother, the alpha, demands for the king to come to his realm and see the devastation caused by his men. They travel to this realm, with her leading the way and him blindly following her. Will the travel bring them close together, or is it the start of some long game to dethrone the king?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh look at the greatest builder in the history of New York City and one of its most controversial figures. “We are rebuilding New York, not dispersing and abandoning it”: Robert Moses saw himself on a rescue mission to save the city from obsolescence, decentralization, and decline. His vast building program aimed to modernize urban infrastructure, expand the public realm with extensive recreational facilities, remove blight, and make the city more livable for the middle class. This book offers a fresh look at the physical transformation of New York during Moses’s nearly forty-year reign over city building from 1934 to 1968.It is hard to imagine that anyone will ever have the same impact on New York as did Robert Moses. In his various roles in city and state government, he reshaped the fabric of the city, and his legacy continues to touch the lives of all New Yorkers. Revered for most of his life, he is now one of the most controversial figures in the city’s history. Robert Moses and the Modern City is the first major publication devoted to him since Robert Caro’s damning 1974 biography, The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York.In these pages eight short essays by leading scholars of urban history provide a revised perspective; stunning new photographs offer the first visual record of Moses’s far-reaching building program as it stands today; and a comprehensive catalog of his works is illustrated with a wealth of archival records: photographs of buildings, neighborhoods, and landscapes, of parks, pools, and playgrounds, of demolished neighborhoods and replacement housing and urban renewal projects, of bridges and highways; renderings of rejected designs and controversial projects that were defeated; and views of spectacular models that have not been seen since Moses made them for promotional purposes.Robert Moses and the Modern City captures research undertaken in the last three decades and will stimulate a new round of debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The artistic traditions of four major Christian denominations are examined and outlined in detail in this groundbreaking volume that presents the first synthesis of the artistic contributions of those traditions. Diane Apostolos-Cappadona has curated a volume that presents four single-authored contributions in one place, broadening the study of Christian art beyond Roman Catholic, Orthodox and 'protestant' traditions to consider these more recent Christian approaches in close and expert detail. Rachel Epp Buller examines art in the Mennonite tradition, Mormon art is considered by Heather Belnap, Quaker contributions by Rowena Loverance and Swedenborgian art by Diane Apostolos-Cappadona. Each writer presents elements of the theology of their chosen tradition through the prism of the artists and artistic works that they have selected. Alongside mainstream artistic figures such as William Blake less known figures come to the fore and the volume features color illustrations that support and underline the theological and artistic themes presented in each section of the book. Together these studies of artistic presentations in these four traditions will be a much need means of filling a gap in the study of Christian art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The worlds of Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and other modern epics feature the Chosen One--an adolescent boy who defeats the Dark Lord and battles the sorrows of the world. Television's Buffy the Vampire Slayer represents a different kind of epic--the heroine's journey, not the hero's. This provocative study explores how Buffy blends 1990s girl power and the path of the warrior woman with the oldest of mythic traditions. It chronicles her descent into death and subsequent return like the great goddesses of antiquity. As she sacrifices her life for the helpless, Buffy experiences the classic heroine's quest, ascending to protector and queen in this timeless metaphor for growing into adulthood.

Book excerpt: Heroine takes the women of Greek mythology into a new light. This book examines three myths with a different twist on each one. Take flight with Daphne in the wood, follow Persephone underground, and race with Helen to leave a crumbling Troy. Each uniquely woven story explores the myth through the women's eyes. Instead of the traditional female footnote, these characters storm onto center stage. Heroes are believed to have a path which dominates their character and leads them to their happy ending. But does a similar path exist for women in myth? Heroine seeks to reveal this path by retelling these popular Greek myths. These female mythical characters follow along their own paths, mortal and goddess alike. Although the stories don't change, the perspective makes all the difference.
