The great diversity of Spain is captured here in a series of breathtaking photographs accompanying a century of travel writing from the pages of the New York Times.

One hundred years ago Katharine Lee Bates was inspired to write "America the Beautiful"; Neil Waldman's travels throughout this country the past twenty years have inspired him now to illustrate her poem. In sweeping panoramas, Neil takes us from coast to coast -- from Niagara Falls to Napa Valley's fruited plains; from the Oregon coast to the majestic mountains of the Great Smokies and the Grand Tetons. He shows us man-made wonders, such as the portraits on Mount Rushmore and the ancient dwellings of Mesa Verde, and natural ones, like Rainbow Bridge and the Grand Canyon. This beautiful book will give young readers a sense of the varied beauty of our country, and older readers -- a new appreciation of its glories.

In Chloe Plus Olivia Lillian Faderman seeks no less than to radically redefine four centuries of lesbian literature, filling a need that has long been neglected: a literary anthology of lesbian writers over the past four centuries, with each piece set in historical and literary context. This landmark work of scholarship offers an enlightening review of the shifting concept of "lesbian literature," followed by examples of six different genres: Romantic Friendship, Sexual Inversion, Exotic and Evil Lesbians, Lesbian Encoding, Lesbian Feminism, and Post-Lesbian Feminism.Faderman examines works as diverse as Willa Cather's My Antonia and Virginia Woolf's Orlando; poetry by Gertrude Stein and Amy Lowell; fiction by Carson McCullers, Helen Hull, and Alice Walker. In addition, Chloe Plus Olivia contains writing by men who focused on women's relationships. These writings are included in the early section of the book and were, in various ways, important to the development of lesbian literature, since men were far more likely than women to achieve publication in other centuries.It would be impossible to identify a single "great tradition" of lesbian writing, since it is in constant metamorphosis, reflecting changing social attitudes and women's voices. Chloe Plus Olivia, with its historical scope enhanced by Faderman's own personal search for a definition of lesbian literature, makes this the first book of its kind; it is certain to become the point of reference from which all subsequent studies of lesbian literature will begin.
