Frida Kahlo remains one of the most popular artists of our time—sales of Frida books number into the hundreds of thousands—and yet no volume has ever focused on one of the most memorable aspects of her persona and creative oeuvre: her wardrobe. Now, for the first time, 95 original and beautifully staged photographs of Kahlo's newly restored clothing are paired with historic photos of the artist wearing them and her paintings in which the garments appear. Frida's life and style were an integral part of her art, and she is long overdue for recognition as a fashion icon..

Available for the first time in paperback, Women in Scripture is a landmark one-volume reference work exploring all the women mentioned in the Bible, named and unnamed, well known and heretofore not known at all. The book comprises more than 800 articles, written by the finest scholars in the field, that examine the numerous women who have often been obscured by the androcentric nature of the biblical record and by centuries of translation and interpretation that have paid little or no attention to them.

The women of scripture are remarkably varied—from prophets to prostitutes, military heroines to musicians, deacons to dancers, widows to wet nurses, rulers to slaves. Here are familiar faces, such as Eve, Judith, and Mary, seen anew with the full benefit of the most up-to-date biblical scholarship. But the most innovative aspect of the book is the section devoted to the many women who in the scriptures do not even have names.

In both scope and accessibility, Women in Scripture is an exceptional work. Combining rigorous scholarship with engaging prose, these articles on women in the Hebrew Bible, the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical books, and the New Testament will inform, delight, and challenge all readers interested in the Bible..

In American courts and especially among students of the Constitution, there has long been a tension between two competing understandings of the law: namely, between those that hold that the law's purpose is merely to guarantee fair procedure and those who go further and say that its purpose is to guarantee other more substantive rights as well. Constitutional lawyer Charles Black, who helped craft the arguments that carried the day in Brown vs. Board of Education, has for many years planted his flag firmly in the latter camp. In this book, citing as authority the Declaration of Independence and the Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution, he argues this anew, and holds that it's up to the federal judiciary to be the bulwark that protects against all infringements by federal, state, and local governments..

Truths long hidden. Fears that must be faced. In a world that needs salvation, Only death can give it life. The Prophecy has come to life in Tearia, and the Temple wants nothing more than to see it dead. Whispers say the Unnamed One walks amongst them, and there is little doubt as to who that person is. Reiv is oblivious to the hopes turning in his direction, and equally ignorant of a plot being waged against him. He has no time for rumors or innuendos; he is too busy trying to build a life for himself. But the life he longs for will have to wait. A rebel movement is growing, and Reiv's cousin Dayn has joined the insurgents in their cause. Angered by Dayn's involvement, Reiv reverts to his old self-serving behaviors. He wants nothing to do with prophecies or rebellions, and isn't sure he wants anything to do with Dayn either. When tragedy throws Reiv into new turmoil, he finds himself facing a dangerous choice. Someone he loves is dying, and there is only one chance to save him. Will Reiv choose to be a Transcendor, fated to sacrifice his life for another? Or is he truly the Unnamed One, a hero destined for glory? One will save the life of an individual, the other that of an entire kingdom..
