Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The nape is the back of the neck. In technical anatomical/medical terminology, the nape is referred to by the word nucha, which also gives the adjective corresponding to "nape" in English, "nuchal." In many mammals, the nape is the site of the scruff, a loose, non-sensitive area of skin by which the mother can carry her young, holding the scruff between her teeth. In domestic cats, the scruff is used when a mother cat transfers her kittens to a new nest or den site (carrying each kitten by gripping its scruff in her teeth), and in mating, when the male cat (tom) grips the female cats scruff with his teeth to help keep her relatively immobile.

"... a thoughtful and important treatment of the international tensions of the period as they were embodied in theatre practice. It is the only book of its kind on the subject, and a valuable source of production information." -- Theatre Journal "... an excellent discussion of the aesthetics of theater." -- Choice The escalation of the war in Vietnam in the mid-1960s unleashed worldwide protest. Playwrights grappled with the complexities of post-imperialist politics and with the problems of creating effective political theatre in the television age. The ephemeral theatre these writers created, today little-known and rarely studied, provides an important window on a complex moment in culture and history.

This autobiography is about a family growing up under the Raj at a time when old ideas of Empire were shifting; it is also the story of older generations of the family, old India hands, from the eighteenth century, living and working in a different India and being dazzled by the richness and complexity of the culture of this strange country they'd gone out to meet, and the beauty of its landscapes. Reviewing Nora Naish's novel 'The Magistrate's Tale' in the Evening Standard, A N Wilson described the heroine as a marvellous creation, an archetypal English figure.. In 'Passage From the Raj' the author describes one of the archetypal English experiences of Empire as it faded, the special links with India, and the long lingering spell cast by her on the English imagination.

"Joan of Arc celebrates the cultural legacy of a medieval French heroine who led the armies of her nation to victory against the English, who was tried on charges of heresy, and who was burned at the stake in Rouen in 1431. Two decades after her death, her trial was reopened and the court reversed the verdict. But it was not until the pinnacle of her popularity, nearly 500 years later, that the Catholic Church canonized her. This highly illustrated book is the first to explore the history of Joan s imageboth in France and the United States. For several centuries representations of Joan have reflected the historical contexts in which they were created, and have been used to promote a huge variety of political, cultural and religious views."--BOOK JACKET.
