”A contested sight/site”: British constructions of Ceylon in visual and literary texts, 1850–1910. $49.99 This dissertation explores the problematic construction of colonial Ceylon in the mid-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries in the context of colonial transaction, and provides a nuanced account of how the colonial perspective in Ceylon can be theorized. Wresting the theorizing of colonial representation of Ceylon away from the dominance of a patriarchal, euro-centric and hetero sexist framework, this study opens up new perspectives on issues such as colonial vision, representation, the gaze, the picturesque, race and gender in Ceylon. The heart of this dissertation lies in a three-part argument. First, Ceylon is recast as a dynamic site of gendered and racial interaction. Second, the perspective of the colonizer is shown to be far more complex and entangled than a schema of a simple colonizer/colonized identity will allow. Third, marginalized voices and subjectivities are investogated within white representational practices in Ceylon, highlighting conflicting viewpoints which are frequently silenced and made peripheral.;In order to theorize the colonial perspective in Ceylon outside of an ethnographic, orientalist and exoticist narrative, the first chapter reexamines Julia Margaret Cameron’s Ceylonese photographs, exploring ways in which images of local women complicate romantic fictions which surround Victorian discourses of Ceylon. Chapter two investigates how the issue of gender ambiguity of Sinhalese men in British representations disrupts notions of colonial masculinity, allowing white Victorian women artists and travel writers to construct alternative sites/sights. Chapter three argues that the picturesque cannot constitute an ideological frame through which the island can be described as it is fractured by a series of competing gazes which operate in Ceylon. The fourth chapter retrieves local voices that contend with orientalist discourses of Ceylon in an ambivalent manner, to demonstrate that multiple determinations complicate local reactions, revealing |

4 Go Mad in Massachusetts $30.75 Every parent and grandparent, every aunt and uncle will enjoy the adventures of the Mitchells and their twin six-year-old boys. Readers of all ages will be inspired to strike out on their own mad adventures. Melissa Klurman, editor of Fodor’s Travel Guides, writes, This book made me want to borrow a car, borrow some kids, and hit the Massachusetts highway. When the Mitchells tired of the same old playgrounds and muscums, they began looking for offbeat daytrips. John chronicled their experiences in the Middlesex Beat. Jana provided quirky illustrations. Inquisitive, rambunctious Harry and Hugo were perfect travel companions. The thirty-five pieces in Four Go Mad describe sites from Buzzards Bay to the Mohawk Trail. They detail, with heart and rich humor, one family’s highly idiosyncratic experiences. Sights include: Warren Anatomical Museum (Boston), Dogtown (Gloucester), Thermometer Museum (Onset), Battleship Cove (Fall River), Higgins Armory Museum (Worcester), Nash Dino Land (South Hadley), and MassMOCA (North Adams). |

A Science Career Against all Odds: A Life of Survival, Study, Teaching and Travel in the 20th Century $99 This autobiography is written to follow the initially turbulent and seemingly random path of education and life experiences of the author in the 1930s and 40s during the oppressive 3rd German Reich. These early childhood insights made the author an undesirable student in the 1950s in the totalitarian German Democratic Republic, and ultimately brought him to the USA. Ideally prepared, he completed a first-rate education in record time, leading in 1965 to a tenured professorship in chemistry at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, specializing in research of the solid state of linear macromolecules (polymers, plastics). Early retirement in 1988 led to a new 20-year career as Professor and Distinguished Scientist at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A surprising requirement of this career was an extensive amount of travel within the US and worldwide. It rekindled an interest based on his father’s love of the literature on explorations, led to a visit of many anthropological sites, and peaked with a trip around the world with Northwestern University Alumni.

In Turkey with friends, she sails the ancient coast, hiking to archaeological sites and snorkeling over sunken Byzantine towns. Weaving together personal perceptions and informed commentary on art, architecture, history, landscape, and social and culinary traditionsof each area, Mayes brings the immediacy of life in her temporary homes to the reader.
