Andre's Side Of The Story
by Toby JoyceHe had everything. Special Agent Andre Dominique lived a life that most men only dreamed of. His job was full of adventure, intrigue and danger. He had plenty of money, good looks and was in excellent physical condition. He had loving parents and a brother who was his best friend. The only thing he didn't have was a love of his own. Most women, he learned, didn't want a partner who risked their life on a daily basis. Yet, he remained hopeful. Yes, he was a special agent, strong and confident; but he was also a man, much like any other man, with needs, vulnerabilities, and insecurities, especially when it came to women. Was he destined to live along, married to his career; or would he find that one woman to love, who had evaded him for so many years?

Andrea Dworkin: The Feminist As Revolutionary
by Martin DubermanFifteen years after her death, Andrea Dworkin remains one of the most important and challenging figures in second-wave feminism. Although frequently relegated to its more radical fringes, Dworkin was without doubt a profoundly influential writer, thinker, and activist--a formidable, brilliant, and uncompromising public figure who inspired and infuriated in equal measure. Her detractors were eager to reduce her to the caricature of the angry, man-hating feminist who believed that all heterosexual sex was rape, and as a result, her work has long been misunderstood. It is only in recent years, especially with the emergence of the #MeToo movement, that there has been a resurgence of interest in her ideas. Given exclusive access to Dworkin's massive and previously closed archives, award-winning biographer Martin Duberman traces Dworkin's life, from her brutal mistreatment after being arrested for protesting against the Vietnam War and her abusive first marriage through her central, crusading role in the sex and pornography wars of the following decades that sharply divided the feminist movement and continue to reverberate to this day. With a keen eye to how her prolific writing fits into her life and into the history and politics of the time, this is a vital and long-overdue reassessment of the life and work of one of the towering and most complex figures in feminist history. MARTIN DUBERMAN is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History at the CUNY Graduate Center, where he founded and for a decade directed the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies. The author of more than twenty books--including Paul Robeson, Stonewall, The Worlds of Lincoln Kirstein, A Saving Remnant, Howard Zinn, Hold Tight Gently, and Has the Gay Movement Failed?--Duberman has won a Bancroft Prize and been a finalist for both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Duberman has also won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Historical Association, an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Amherst College, and an honorary Doctor of Letters from Columbia University.

Andrea: Enchanted Aleutian Pricess
by Robert AlgeriI met Andrea Altiery in 1981; the first thing she asked was, “Do you like the rock band Aerosmith?” I responded, “Yes.” She smiled and slapped me on my left shoulder telling me, “Dream on my friend.” Later that year Andrea was taken from us by the most notorious serial killer to ever hunt in the state of Alaska. Get ready to collectively ride an emotional ride through urban Alaska while looking through a steamy window for lost love; love that's never found and love that maybe never was. I can only imagine the helplessness; the complete feeling of being alone these women had; Andrea must have had, preyed upon all of their spirit's gathering together now. Victims of circumstance; none of these women deserved to be mistreated like Andrea; dehumanized, erased from our minds. One last chance to give Andrea a voice, each woman asking us can you hear me, do you see me now?
Andreas
by Hugo Von Hoffmannsthal Marie D. HottingerAndreas is an unfinished and posthumously-published novel of violence and naivety, pathos and melancholy. Set in the eighteenth century, it tells the story of a young Viennese aristocrat who intends to travel alone to Venice as the first stage of his 'Grand Tour';. On his journey, he acquires an unsavoury servant who unleashes a trail of destruction and violence, which taints and corrupts Andreas' first experience of love. Andreas' loss of innocence takes place in the misty alleyways and gloomy palaces of La Serenissima, whose masked inhabitants confuse and entice him, the women either madonnas or whores indistinguishable behind their masks.
Andreas Vesalius and his Fabrica, 1537-1564: Changing the World of Anatomy (Palgrave Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Medicine)
by Vivian NuttonThis monograph presents a study of the most significant book in the history of anatomy, Fleming Andreas Vesalius’ (1514-1564) De humani corporis fabrica. Vesalius’ Fabrica was immediately recognised as changing the view of the human body when it was published in 1543, and it remains iconic today. Despite this, little has been written about Vesalius’ later revisions and corrections to the work, as well as his annotations leading up to the book. The author addresses this lacuna by examining the Fabrica from its inception in Paris in the 1530s, through its publication in 1543, to subsequent revisions and its present status as an expensive treasure. The book also contains new discoveries about the period of Vesalius’ earliest publications from 1537-8, the printing and production of the 1543 Fabrica, and the extensive remaking of the 1555 edition. Chapters also explore Vesalius’ background in new humanist medicine and anatomical teaching in Paris and Italy, the verbal message that the Fabrica was intended to convey, and the immediate responses to the book.
Andreas Vesalius of Brussels 1514 - 1664
by C. D. O'MalleyThe life of Vesalius, the foremost pioneer of modern anatomy, has never before been told in full. the present definitive biography, published in 1964 to mark the four-hundredth ear since Vesalius's death, fills a serious gap in medical history. It is, in fact, the first biography of the great anatomist since Moritz Roth's work of 1892. Much new information has come to light in the intervening seventy years which enables O'Malley to reassess Vesalius in relation to his eminent contemporaries and to re-evaluate his contributions to anatomy and to medical science in general. O'Malley gives a detailed account of Vesalius's studies of anatomy in Paris, Padua, Pisa, and Bologna, and is thus able to show the comparative advancement of medical knowledge throughout Europe during the sixteenth century. In addition, the book contains a wealth of historical material of broad interest, including an account of the attempt of Vesalius and Ambroise Pare to save the life of Henry II of France as he lay dying form a lance wound in the eye. Also included is a critical account of the various stories concerning Vesalius's persecution by the Inquisition and his subsequent pilgrimage to Jerusalem. As much as possible of Vesalius's major achievement, De humani corporis fabrica (1543), his epochal treatise on the structure of the human body, is presented in his own words, translated from the Latin text by Dr. O'Malley. Wherever feasible, in fact, an effort has been made by the author to tell the story through the precise words of Vesalius or those of his contemporaries.
