![]() ![]() ![]() Anybody who has lived in Maine for ten years or more likely knows George Smith personally or knows of him. George was (and still is) an unapologetic lobbyist on behalf of hunters and anglers and the natural world in general. ![]() ![]() Lo these many decades later, I thought George might give me some insight into how the generally conservative sportsman’s community viewed climate change. George, Executive Director of the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine at the time, represented with beguiling charm the interests of hunters and anglers. I remembered George from the 1990s when we crossed paths working on the Maine Forest Biodiversity Project, a diverse mix of timber companies and nonprofits working on wildlife and biodiversity conservation in the North Woods. Why? Because they have to be to solve this problem. The Maine Climate Table is determined to break down these barriers. Tragically for everyone, the issue has become politicized. Climate change is an all-hands-on-deck challenge. “The Climate Common” is a new video series started by The Maine Climate Table to engage with those who do not live and breathe climate change every day. A new project rarely starts with a story that will probably never be topped, but that may have been the case for my interview with George Smith about climate change on January 28. ![]()

This book presents, in English translation, what we have. It remains a fraction of what she created, perhaps ten percent. More recently, this has been supplemented by papyrus finds (sometimes used as mummy wrapping). For centuries, the little of her preserved writing was in quotations in surviving books by others. But, unfortunately, those have been lost like the rest of the Great Library. ![]() So high was the esteem she was held in that two librarians in Alexandria commissioned a collection of her works, which filled nine volumes.

His success, popularity and wealth continued to grow and he regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy, becoming an Associate Member in 1876 and a full member in 1879. Anna Alma-Tadema ( née Tadema 5 July 1943) was a British artist and suffragette. He was a very prolific painter, producing more than 400 paintings in his lifetime, and his pictures sold well. He was remarried in 1871, to Laura Epps, a former pupil, who also practised as an artist. Between 1865 and !870, he lived in Brussels but then moved to London.

About her whole being, so full of life and beauty, there was a peculiarly bewitching mixture of slyness and carelessness, of artificiality and simplicity, of composure and frolicsomeness about everything she did or said, about every action of hers, there clung a delicate, fine charm, in which an individual power was manifest at work. It amused her to arouse their hopes and then their fears, to turn them round her finger (she used to call it knocking their heads together), while they never dreamed of offering resistance and eagerly submitted to her. All the men who visited the house were crazy over her, and she kept them all in leading-strings at her feet. “There is a sweetness in being the sole source, the autocratic and irresponsible cause of the greatest joy and profoundest pain to another, and I was like wax in Zinaïda's hands though, indeed, I was not the only one in love with her. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What, however, did cause me some concern was that after finishing the last story of the "Typhoon" volume it seemed somehow that there was nothing more in the world to write about. And perhaps there was never any change, except in that mysterious, extraneous thing which has nothing to do with the theories of art a subtle change in the nature of the inspiration a phenomenon for which I can not in any way be held responsible. I don't mean to say that I became then conscious of any im-pending change in my mentality and in my attitude towards the tasks of my writing life. ![]() "Nostromo" is the most anxiously meditated of the longer novels which belong to the period following upon the publication of the "Typhoon" volume of short stories.

But it’s the limitations of the women’s power that come through most clearly in Gristwood’s book. When their male protectors were killed or dethroned, the women fought back: Marguerite of Anjou raised an army after her husband, Henry VI, lost his mind Elizabeth Woodville, the widow of Edward IV, hatched a plot to take down Richard III. Many gained control over their own finances and households, using them to court the allegiance of various factions and to sway popular opinion. Arguing persuasively for the existence of a “female network,” which shadowed and influenced that of the men, Gristwood details the paths of seven royal women who transcended their roles as diplomatic pawns and heir-producers. The Wars of the Roses are often remembered for the men who seized thrones and led battles, but in this lively history the women take the reins. ![]() |
