Excerpt: Bat Lash Bartholomew "Bat" Alouysius Lash is a fictional Western character in the DC Universe . Bat Lash's adventures have been published by DC Comics since 1968. Character origin In 1968, Carmine Infantino, newly installed Editorial Director of DC Comics, and his editor, Joe Orlando, were looking for something new. Western movies were popular at the moment, with the spaghetti westerns of Clint Eastwood breathing new life into a genre that had fallen into disrepute. Western heroes were few in comic books at the time, it was felt they could be revived. Joe Orlando and Carmine Infantino came up with the name and basic premise of the loner whose family had been wiped out by murderous thugs, and then brought in Sheldon Mayer (former DC editor and creator of Sugar and Spike ) and Sergio Aragons to further flesh out the concept. Shelly Mayer would write the first appearance ( Showcase #76). Infantino claimed to have greatly rewritten it. The assignment was then handed to Aragons, with Denny O'Neil doing the dialog over Aragons' plots, and Nick Cardy providing the art. They called me and said 'Sergio, we need a western, we need a cowboy, called Bat Lash. Think about it'. So I did, I thought the character. The way I work, things pop in my head pretty fast, so as I was sitting with them in the restaurant, I was describing how the character was. So Bat Lash was born right there, in the restaurant...one of the things they wanted, they wanted to be 'different' a different western, but they didn't know how, so I came up with a guy that had good taste for food, and music, ...

Gender Setting: New Agendas for Media Monitoring and Advocacy
["Margaret Gallagher"]
3

null
In an age of global information structures, what scope exists for independent citizen action in media and cultural policy formation? How can audiences effectively voice critiques of media content? In an increasingly market-centred and consumer-oriented media world, what is the potential for monitoring, lobbying and advocacy? This book argues that despite the breakdown of traditional patterns of regulation, there is a role for local action to promote diversity in the media. Focusing on media portrayals of gender, more particularly the media's role in reproducing and reinforcing patterns of discrimination against women in society, the book aims to unify the hitherto disparate strands of academic research and feminist activism in the form of gender media monitoring aimed at policy critique and practical change. Research findings and monitoring experiences from both North and South are brought together to demonstrate how, with varying levels of resources and expertise, women's groups have developed monitoring models that can be effective in widely different media contexts. Drawn from countries as diverse as Canada, India, Spain, Jamaica, Australia and South Africa, these approaches will have lessons for everyone concerned about media democracy and diversity in the new information age.

Gabrielle's Gift
["Lerone Landis"]

null
The premise of Gabrielle's Gift is a simple one - a child's wish for a very special birthday gift. It is a gift that that nearly every kid will ask for at some point in their childhood, the gift of a pet! This everyday typical scenario is coupled with an atypical family dynamic in which Gabrielle's parents are two dads. The unique family is never explicitly mentioned. The visuals speak for themselves and the common story make it relatable to absolutely any and all kids, regardless of their family make up. Gabrielle's Gift is a fun, short, and to the point story. The message that beauty comes in all different colors and forms is not an overbearing one, just an additional one. Yet it is represented as a metaphor through the eyes of a pet and Gabrielle's family.

Mandala Meditation: Manifest Visualizations Through Meditation While Coloring and Drawing Mandalas
["Lynnette Rozine Prock"]
5
2
null
Another great adult coloring book! Mandala Meditation is an interactive workbook to help connect to the spirit within. Sitting quietly in meditation didn’t always work for me. My hands wanted to be doing something active, which distracted my mind from becoming silent. What I found calmed this restlessness was the activity of coloring and drawing repetitive patterns. While focusing on creating the same swirl repeatedly around a central shape, thoughts became still. I could now detect my visions more clearly. I then learned to concentrate on a positive affirmation or a visualization of my highest self. Before I knew it, I was lost in concentration of a fantastic dream. I discovered that I could step back from my work with a firm grip on the messages from my intuition. Any thoughts of uncertainty or insecurity were quieted. Instead I was confident and in touch with my purpose. Then, forevermore, the artwork became a physical reminder of this grounding exercise. One look at it, in a moment of nervousness, and fears disappeared. That’s how this book was born. I’d like you to sit with each page, receptive and aware of that inner voice trying to reach you. Listen with an open mind and open heart. Be available to realizing you’re already whole. The separation was an illusion presenting itself as real, because of an imbalance. There is no right or wrong way to color and draw in this book. There’s also no specific way to visualize or meditate. Everything you find here is a suggestion, hopefully leading you closer to the way you best connect within. For more inspirational fun, www.MyDreamsMatter.com

Many A+ certification guides prepare aspiring PC technicians to pass the exam, but don't put test objectives in a "practical use" context. Other PC repair guides cover A+ exam objectives in a real-world setting, but don't prepare students well enough to pass the test and get certified. The A+ Certification and PC Repair Handbook solves this problem by combining a complete test preparation for the new A+ examinations (220-301 and 220-302) with a hands on guide that reflects how the A+ exam questions apply to real-world PC repair problems. The book teaches users how to install and troubleshoot hardware, and provides solutions to common operating system-related problems for machines running Microsoft Windows 9x, Me, 2000, and XP. Each chapter includes numerous diagrams and photographs, and explains PC repair techniques using easy-to-understand language and accessible terms. For each chapter explaining these PC repair tactics, another chapter is included on how to effectively pass the corresponding portion of the A+ exam, with sample exam questions based on the actual tests. Test-taking techniques are also covered, including the test's recent return to conventional linear testing, as opposed to the adaptive format of previous years. The book's companion CD-ROM contains video tutorials that illustrate PC repair techniques, and full-length, timed, 80-question conventional practice tests covering both modules (Core Hardware and OS Technology) of the A+ certification exam.

The Smell of Summer Grass is based partly on the long out of print 'Perch Hill'. It is the story of the years spent in finding and building a personal Arcadia, sometimes a dream, sometimes a nightmare, by writer Adam Nicolson and his wife, cook and gardener, Sarah Raven. Adam Nicolson was determined to leave metropolitan life but the rundown farm in the Sussex Weald was not quite what he bargained for. The scenery was breathtaking and the rural neighbours charming but the hard end of real farming life was another matter - mud, cold, planning regulations and unco-operative livestock. But for the reader the whole enterprise is full of delight thanks to Adam Nicolson's frank, witty and touching, it is a testament to the importance of holding on to your dreams and turning them into reality.

Ci sono persone che sembrano destinate a soffrire e, qualsiasi siano le loro scelte o i cambiamenti che intraprendono nelle loro vite, succede sempre qualcosa che le fa ripiombare nello sconforto. Presa la decisione di tornare da Leon, Giorgia chiede il divorzio a suo marito e resta nel suo paese, per occuparsene. La frequentazione con Leon continua, ma gestire un rapporto a distanza non è facile e quando non hai avuto abbastanza tempo per conoscere l’altra persona, è più difficile riuscire a fidarsi di lei. Questa situazione permetterà molte ingerenze e non tutte positive. Se Giorgia è felice per il suo ritardo e Leon per aver trovato l’amore della sua vita, chi non è mai stato favorevole a questa unione, durante la loro lontananza, troverà terreno fertile per seminare dubbi e insinuazioni, puntando sulla gelosia di lui e sull’insicurezza di lei. Il desiderio di Leon di sposare Giorgia, riuscirà a fargli superare la sua gelosia o, peggio ancora, il sospetto che lei lo possa tradire? Il sospetto di Giorgia, di non essere all’altezza di un uomo come Leon, vincerà sul suo desiderio di essere finalmente felice?”

An Entrepreneur’s Manifesto
["Steve Mariotti"]
4
5
1
In an increasingly competitive world market, how does the United States rank? Many Americans are worried about the economic state of their nation, especially now that countries like China are becoming ever more economically powerful. What does America need to both stabilize and energize its economy? Entrepreneurship, Steve Mariotti claims, is vital. An Entrepreneur’s Manifesto is Mariotti’s rallying cry for the world to recognize the potential that business creation holds for the individual and the economy. Mariotti explores how entrepreneurship affects schools and prisons, developed cities and isolated villages, brick-and-mortar stores, and internet-based businesses. He takes a hard look at the research on entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurship, government policy, and the social and cultural attributes most likely to foster successful business creation, incorporating his discussions with some of the best minds on the question of entrepreneurship. Mariotti also examines how the rise of the Internet and Web-based innovations like crowdfunding have both changed—and not changed—the fundamentals of promoting those who take the ultimate gamble of going into business for themselves. As the author of several leading textbooks on the subject and founder of the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), a global nonprofit organization that has educated more than 500,000 students and trained more than 5,000 teachers in 50 countries, Mariotti is both an experienced and reliable leader in what he calls the entrepreneurial revolution. Mariotti frequently writes for the Huffington Post  and has been recruited by the State Department to discuss his ideas on youth entrepreneurship in Cambodia and other developing countries seeking to escape the shackles of centrally planned economic policies. Neither a dry recitation of academic theory nor a scattered collection of feel-good stories, An Entrepreneur’s Manifesto builds on Mariotti’s unique perspective to offer a critique that is both inspiring and practical. Riveting stories complement enlightening real-world perspectives, making the work relatable and inspiring. “There is no more revolutionary act,” Mariotti says, “than starting a business.”

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as a stroke, Alzheimer's and dementia, are now tragically commonplace within the western world. Our brains are a strange and complex organ, and there is much to be discovered about what causes them to fail in such devastating ways.In this book Kathleen Taylor presents the ever-developing research into the cause and cure of these life-changing conditions, focusing on insights arising from the relatively new field of neuroimmunology - the increasing recognition of the important role of the immune system in the brain. Interweaving the latest scientific ideas on neurodegenerative diseases with accounts of the devastation which illnesses affecting the brain can cause to sufferers and to anyone who cares about them, TheFragile Brain is not only an important account of current research in this field, but a very personal study. As instances of dementia rise in our ageing populations, many harbour anxieties concerning the future.This book is about knowing the enemy.

Harry may not be a native son, but he loves New Orleans. He loves it despite its corruption and snobbery, its inbred prejudices, and especially the violence that permeates the city. New Orleans killed his wife, leaving him alone with his nine-year-old son, Ike. Despite everything, Harry deeply loves the place. Now, though, Harry meets Elizabeth Bennett, a dangerously beautiful woman. Elizabeth, brilliant and mercurial, is also the heiress to one of the country's great fortunes. An outsider in the city, Elizabeth draws Harry out of his grief and forces him to encounter new levels of corruption and new kinds of violence - blackmail, kidnapping, and murder. Even though everyone, with the notable exception of Ike, tells him to stay far away, Harry is still drawn to Elizabeth. But the cost of this obsession is even greater than any of them ever imagined. First, Elizabeth's husband is murdered, and Harry's the one to find the body. Next, he's brutally attacked and Ike is kidnapped. Surrounded by chaos on all sides, Harry finds himself making deadly moves and deadlier decisions than he's ever dreamed possible to keep from losing everything he holds dear to the dark side of the city he loves.

The Autobiography of Anthony "Doc" Hamilton.

Readers of his earlier works “Shattered Lives” and “Chocolate” have waited, eagerly anticipating this next chapter to be added to this author’s body of work. “Doc” offers hope to that element of African-American society often overlooked and forgotten, the “voiceless ones” – hope that someone hears, sees, and will speak for them – speak to them.

"A magnificent piece of work! The material in this book will contribute to the health of anyone who reads it." -- Carolyn Myss, Ph.D., Author of Anatomy of the Spirit This self-healing manual is more than just another self-help or "cure-of-the-month" book. To really heal yourself, you will need to look at yourself, at your life, at your suffering, from many different points of view -- and deeply from each of them. To build up a total holistic picture -- more, a three-dimensional sculpture of exactly who you have become at this moment in your life. To see yourself accurately and truly, from all perspectives. Reviews A fascinating collection ... as a fellow physician I thank Dr. Diamond and honor him for his courage and and honesty in sharing his life, wisdom and experience with us. -- Bernie Siegel, M.D., Love, Medicine & Miracles, Prescriptions for Living The loving and healing words in this incredible book by John Diamond have catapulted me to a new level of life energy. Diamond is a genius among healers. He needs to be more broadly read and appreciated for the depth and breadth of his knowledge of the human healing process. His emphasis on the special power of the creative arts and his semi-autobiographical style in this book place him in the pantheon of the most profound and influential healers in contemporary medicine. --Richard Lippin, M.D., Founder, International Arts-Medicine Assn. and Founder, American Physician's Poetry Assn. John Diamond has produced another book that goes deep to the heart of healing and is intrinsically therapeutic. The appeal of this book lies in the extent to which Dr. Diamond bares his own soul, facets of himself, in his work of healing. The link between creative expression, especially music, and the art of healing was never better symbolized. This is a book filled with spirituality, with poetic metaphor, and with a deep love of humanity. --John Graham-Pole, Medical Director, Arts in Medicine, University of Florida Diamond provides a fascinating introduction to the world of preventative medicine. ... An important essay on wellness for our modern age of chronic dispositions. ... John Diamond is a pearl of a writer, and in the sheer comprehensiveness of one man's soul lies all our health. --Jay Bail, The Book Reader

There are many reasons to grow cacti and other succulents--they're drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and they look great. But what about hardiness? For those who thought that these spectacular plants were only for gardens in California and the Southwest, guess again--hundreds are fully cold-hardy and can be grown outdoors from New England to British Columbia, Wisconsin to Texas. Cacti and Succulents for Cold Climates is filled with inspirational portraits of 274 plants that can be used to create drought-tolerant gardens, as well as tips from regional experts who have mastered the art of growing cacti in parts of the country not usually associated with high temperatures or a scarcity of water. Expert Leo Chance describes how to prepare planting beds, how to get plants well established, how to handle cacti during planting, how to protect plants from cold winters, and when and how much to water.

C. S. Lewis' Top Ten: Influential Books and Authors, Volume One
["Will Vaus"]

What made bestselling author C. S. Lewis such a great writer with so many admirers? One answer to that question is Lewis' vast reading across the entire canon of Western literature, from Homer and the Bible to some lesser-known works of the early twentieth century. Before one can become a great writer, one must be a great reader.In 1962, an interviewer asked "What books did most to shape your vocational attitude and your philosophy of life?" In response, Lewis offered the following top ten Phantastes by George MacDonald2. The Everlasting Man by G. K. Chesterton3. The Aeneid by Virgil4. The Temple by George Herbert5. The Prelude by William Wordsworth6. The Idea of the Holy by Rudolf Otto7. The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius8. Life of Samuel Johnson by James Boswell9. Descent into Hell by Charles Williams10. Theism and Humanism by A.J. BalfourBased on his books, marginal notes, and personal letters, Lewis' reading of these books is thoroughly documented. Volume One of this series covers the first three books on his list. Will Vaus offers a brief biography of each author with a helpful summary of their book. Lewis' Top Ten goes to the sources of the ideas and ideals reflected in Lewis' own books. With this handy three-volume series, readers can discover new authors and learn what Lewis believed was most important in his own life and writings."A great help in understanding C.S. Lewis is to understand the books that were most influential in shaping his thought. Will Vaus has undertaken the task of examining those books which Lewis himself said were the top ten. His work is thorough, comprehensive, and illuminating."Rolland Hein, Emeritus Professor of English, Wheaton CollegeAuthor of George Victorian Mythmaker"Many studies of C.S. Lewis are being published and this book will certainly be among those of real importance to readers of Lewis."Aidan MackeySenior fellow of the G.K. Chesterton Institute and Library in OxfordWill Vaus is a popular speaker on C.S. Lewis and the author of many books, including Speaking of A C.S. Lewis Discussion Guide and The Hidden Story of A Book-by-Book Guide to C.S. Lewis' Spiritual Themes.

On Moving: A Writer's Meditation on New Houses, Old Haunts, and Finding Home Again
["Louise DeSalvo"]
3.71

9
A literary exploration of one of life’s most taxing, emotional, and pervasive experiences: moving. When acclaimed memoirist and scholar Louise DeSalvo sold the house she and her husband had raised their children in and moved to a beautiful new home in Montclair, New Jersey, she was shocked to discover a rash of unexpected emotions interfering with her plans. Suddenly the old, cramped house was paradise, and the new house a barren building with none of the comforts or familiarity of “home.” Faced with a sudden disillusionment over her dream house, DeSalvo turned, as she always has, to her favorite writers. What she found was a treasure trove of material, most of which has seldom been written about before, chronicling the tumultuous and inspiring moves of some of our most beloved literary figures. Percy Shelley, destitute and restless, moved his tired family from one home to another, only to settle in what he came to believe was a haunted house on the Gulf of Spezia (in which he soon drowned). Virginia Woolf, on her hunt for the perfect room of her own, was a real estate hound, and spent years trying to get back to her home in London after a nervous breakdown forced her to relocate to the country. More recently, Mark Doty found selling the house he and his dying lover had spent decades renovating surprisingly freeing as the couple found a new home in which to say goodbye. DeSalvo discovers that the pain, hope, and turmoil involved in moving have been universal for generations. On Moving mines the hopes, disappointments, memories, and fears that come with that simple yet fundamental part of everyone’s lives: moving.

Design Anthropology: Theory and Practice

Design is a key site of cultural production and change in contemporary society. Anthropologists have been involved in design projects for several decades but only recently a new field of inquiry has emerged which aims to integrate the strengths of design thinking and anthropological research. This book is written by anthropologists who actively participate in the development of design anthropology. Comprising both cutting-edge explorations and theoretical reflections, it provides a much-needed introduction to the concepts, methods, practices and challenges of the new field. Design Anthropology moves from observation and interpretation to collaboration, intervention and co-creation. Its practitioners participate in multidisciplinary design teams working towards concrete solutions for problems that are sometimes ill-defined. The authors address the critical potential of design anthropology in a wide range of design activities across the globe and query the impact of design on the discipline of anthropology. This volume will appeal to new and experienced practitioners in the field as well as to students of anthropology, innovation, science and technology studies, and a wide range of design studies focusing on user participation, innovation, and collaborative research.

The Old Dude's Ticker" is a short story by American writer Stephen King. It is a homage to Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart", adapted to take place in the Vietnam War era. Richard Drogan, a veteran of the Vietnam War, lives with an elderly man referred to only as "The Old Dude". The Old Dude has a cataract in one eye that frightens the narrator, so much so that he plans to murder the old man. After several nights of watching the Old Dude sleep by shining a pen-light through his door, he illuminates the old man's diseased eye, which is open. The Old Dude had been awake for some time, and the narrator speculates that he was very afraid and trying to calm himself down. Seeing the eye, however, drives Drogan into a rage.

In the early twentieth century, Andrew Zak proposes to Rosalia Patala in a letter. New to North America from Slovakia, Rosalia boards a train from New York to Crowsnest Pass, AB, where she marries a man she knows only through the written word. They bear and lose their first child, fear the dangers of hazardous coal mines, and raise a family of four children on their homestead. But this story contains holes, and Monica Kidd, a journalist and great-granddaughter to Andrew and Rosalia, is compelled by them. In prose as beautiful as her poetry, Kidd describes her life-altering journey toward uncovering the mysteries of her family's past. Did Andrew and Rosalia court? Why did they each leave Slovakia? Years later, in present day Canada, Monica travels from her home in Newfoundland back to Alberta and then Slovakia, where she trails the ghost of Rosalia in search of why she, and the thousands of women like her, launched themselves into the vast unknown of becoming frontier wives.

Socratic inquiry and contemporary American skepticism each reckon with tropical mysteries in this haunting tale of community and solitude in the Amazonian jungle. Daniel, a tired and feverish young American traveler, pauses in the small village of Los Puertes Caidos and discovers a sometimes beautiful, sometimes horrifying world that he will never be able to leave behind. At the center of village life is the cantina, where the don Santiago presides over the Thinking and Drinking Club, nightly posing metaphysical questions over a steady flow of beer and lemons. As Los Puertoes Caidos is beset by a series of bizarre hardships, primal mystery overwhelms the reasoning of both Daniel and Santiago. Author Morgan evokes this magical realm with an unsentimental directness and simplicity. His characters, though strange, never become grotesque, and as the foreigner becomes inextricably tied to this outlandish, unknowable life, Morgan's tale achieves the resonance of myth. - Publisher's Weekly

«Tomando a forma de médico, de estudante, de mestre-escola e de gente de muitos outros ofícios, é este o ser humano que atravessa todos os contos de Tchékhov. O que mais irritava os seus críticos politizados era o facto de este tipo não pertencer a um qualquer partido político determinado e de o autor não o ter dotado de um programa político bem definido. Aqui é que bate o ponto. Os ineficazes intelectuais de Tchékhov não eram terroristas nem social-democratas, nem futuros bolcheviques, nem nenhum dos inúmeros membros dos inúmeros partidos revolucionários da Rússia. O importante é que o herói típico tchekhoviano é um azarento defensor da verdade humana universal, indefinida mas bela, um fardo que é incapaz de suportar e que também não pode alijar. O que vemos em todos os contos de Tchékhov é um contínuo tropeçar, mas quem tropeça é sempre alguém que se distrai a olhar para as estrelas.» Vladimir Nabokov

A gorgeously written, witty, and poignant YA novel, about a girl who must forge her own path in the wake of a crumbling relationship. Josie Little has been looking forward to moving halfway across the country to attend Brookwood Academy, a prestigious boarding school, with her girlfriend, Annette, for ages. But underneath Brookwood's picture-perfect image lies a crippling sense of elitism that begins to tear the girls apart from the moment they arrive. While Josie struggles to navigate her new life, Annette seems to fit in perfectly. Yet that acceptance comes with more than a few strings. And consequently, Annette insists on keeping their relationship a secret. At first, Josie agrees. But as Annette pushes her further and further away, Josie grows closer to Penn, a boy whose friendship and romantic feelings for her tangle her already-unraveling relationship. When Annette's need for approval sets her on a devastating course for self-destruction, Josie isn't sure she can save her this time -- or if Annette even wants her to try.

The Golden Bird: Two Orkney Stories
["George Mackay Brown"]
3.93
42
9
These two long stories are set, like most of George Mackay Brown's work, in Orkney and in a period, the last quarter of the nineteenth century, when the pattern of island life, little changed since Viking times, was beginning to be threatened. "The Golden Bird" tells the story of the slow decline of an island community: a scattered village dependant on the sea for its livelihood and at risk from it, a place subject to the peculiar tensions of isolation and the unsettling influence of new values. "The Life and Death of John Voe" looks at the life of a typical young Orkney man: after whaling and sailing and gold-mining he comes home to devote the rest of his days to a beautiful country girl. These stories are the creation of a very rich imagination, of a practised and skilful writer, but they also have the power and simplicity of the traditional ballad. They will delight Mackay Brown's fans.

Christian Beamish, a former editor at The Surfer’s Journal, envisioned a low-tech, self-reliant exploration for surf along the coast of North America, using primarily clothes and instruments available to his ancestors, and the 18-foot boat he would build by hand in his garage. How the vision met reality – and how the two came to shape each other – places Voyage of the Cormorant in the great American tradition of tales of life at sea, and what it has to teach us.

Brown Gold: Milestones of African-American Children's Picture Books, 1845-2002
["Michelle H. Martin"]
4.37

Brown Gold is a compelling history and analysis of African-American children's picturebooks from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. At the turn of the nineteenth century, good children's books about black life were hard to find ― if, indeed, young black readers and their parents could even gain entry into the bookstores and libraries. But today, in the "Golden Age" of African-American children's picturebooks, one can find a wealth of titles ranging from Happy to be Nappy to Black is Brown is Tan . In this book, Michelle Martin explores how the genre has evolved from problematic early works such as Epaminondas that were rooted in minstrelsy and stereotype, through the civil rights movement, and onward to contemporary celebrations of blackness. She demonstrates the cultural importance of contemporary favorites through keen historical analysis ― scrutinizing the longevity and proliferation of the Coontown series and Ten Little Niggers books, for example ― that makes clear how few picturebooks existed in which black children could see themselves and their people positively represented even up until the 1960s. Martin also explores how children's authors and illustrators have addressed major issues in black life and history including racism, the civil rights movement, black feminism, major historical figures, religion, and slavery. Brown Gold adds new depth to the reader's understanding of African-American literature and culture, and illuminates how the round, dynamic characters in these children's novels, novellas, and picturebooks can put a face on the past, a face with which many contemporary readers can identify.

This is a book that will be useful to carers, helping them understand the issues that affect male suffers and some of the barriers they will have to break down in order to recover. It will also reassure men affected by an eating disorder that they are not alone, their problems are understood by medical professional and that recovery is possible' - Signpost Anna has established herself as a leading author in the field of eating disorders and combines her personal experiences with an extensive research interest. Her two previous books published by Lucky Duck were winner and special commendation in the NASEN/TES book awards and we expect this publication to be equally well received. It would be a mistake to think that eating and body image problems are experienced only by women. Anna draws the readers attention to the characteristic and special difficulties for men, including: - athletics, body building and eating - depression and self-esteem - eating disorders and homosexuality. Like all her books she offers a comprehensive overview and contributes information, advice and hope. This is a book for those affected and those who want to help them.

["Wolfgang Simson"]

Millions of Christians around the world are becoming aware of an imminent reformation of global proportions within the Church. God is changing this revered institution and is making a new collective awareness of an age-old revelation, a corporate spiritual echo that reflects God's desire for the Church. In this book, Wolfgang Simson brings to light what God is saying to Christians everywhere. Researched across the globe, he presents the case for the reformation of the Church's existence. In a world where the Church is being ignored, it is time to bring the Church to the people, and not the people to the Church. Whether it is what we know as 'Church' from the last five years or last five hundred year, no one has truly been able to break free from the structures of the past. Many may see this book as radical, many may see it as a reforming of old ideals, but all who read it will be challenged in their Churching and have their priorities refocused in a life-changing way.

Nell’Italia rurale del dopoguerra, Pietro, un bambino di sei anni, non vive una vita semplice: i suoi genitori sono contadini in miseria e la casa in cui vivono cade a pezzi. Un giorno, a portarlo via da lì, via dai genitori, via da tutto ciò che conosce, si presenta un uomo enorme, con una grossa pancia e la testa completamente pelata, tonda e liscia come il fondo consunto di una pentola di rame: è l’ispettore incaricato di condurlo in collegio. Mentre si allontana su un carro cigolante, Pietro si ripete che tornerà presto a casa, quando suo padre, con una bocca in meno da sfamare, smetterà di essere povero, e quando la mamma guarirà dalla malattia che, spesso, la costringe a letto per giorni interi. Da lontano il collegio ricorda un cimitero, con l’alto muro di pietra dietro il quale svettano gli alberi. Dentro tutto è sporco, freddo, trascurato, quasi marcescente, e le suore, soprattutto quelle anziane, sono donne dall’animo gelido, indifferenti e severe. Nel refettorio, silenzioso e cupo, viene servito cibo rancido, ma chi prova a lamentarsi o a protestare resta a digiuno. I pavimenti sono neri e appiccicosi sotto le scarpe, le pareti sembrano unte d’olio e c’è sempre un tanfo terribile. Nelle mattine d’inverno il gelo punge sulle ginocchia come aghi di pino e, poiché non ci sono bracieri per riscaldarsi, le mani tremano al punto che non riescono nemmeno a intingere i pennini nell’inchiostro. Le suore non esitano a infliggere punizioni e cinghiate e, all’occorrenza, a rinchiudere i bambini nella torre. Per sopravvivere agli orrori del collegio, Pietro stringe amicizia con Mario, un ragazzino sveglio e intelligente. Nonostante sia più grande di un anno, Mario ha il corpo minuto ed è più basso degli altri bambini della sua età, come se non fosse cresciuto abbastanza. Le suore lo chiamano «la peste», per via del suo spirito ribelle che, più di una volta, lo ha portato a tentare la fuga. È sempre stato riacciuffato e picchiato, ma Mario non si è mai arreso, fino al giorno in cui una punizione più dura del solito lo fa cadere malato. Solo allora Pietro capisce che dovrà mettere da parte la paura e scoprire il coraggio se vuole salvare l’amico e ritrovare la libertà. Con Il cortile di pietra Francesco Formaggi, già autore de Il casale, ci consegna un romanzo maturo che, attraverso lo sguardo sensibile e curioso di un bambino, parla di soprusi e di resistenze, di segreti inconfessabili e dell’amicizia pura e limpida fra due bambini privati di tutto, ma non della voglia di vivere.

"There's a lot to love about this debut novel for Cynthia Lucas. The plot is tight, and the story is well paced with liberal helpings of action and adventure!" Jill MacKenzie - InD'Tale Magazine October 2012 Issue, FOUR STAR Review. www.indtale.com ALL NEW Featuring Award Winning Actor (Cold Mountain, Dreamworks Into the West, Street The Movie), JAY TAVARE on the cover. A single act of kindness...a mysterious golden coin....one bolt of lightning....a touch of Gypsy the recipe for love across time.... Sarah Douglas is 23, beautiful, smart and about to marry the perfect guy. Level-headed, nice-looking, honest and intelligent, David du Bois is not only the son of her father's business partner, but the kind of man any mom would want their daughter to marry. Right? Or so she thought...until her mother gives her a mysterious "good luck" charm on the eve of her wedding, telling her that it's a family tradition and if she keeps it with her all night, she will know her heart's true desire. Sarah thinks it's all just a bunch of silly "Gypsy hocus pocus" but she soon discovers that a walk in the night air and an eerie bolt of lightning is all it takes to sweep her out of the world she knows and into the arms of Dominic du Barbaronne-the handsome blue-eyed leader of a band of Romanies in the year 1363. Dominic is everything Sarah has come to distrust in men...too good-looking, too sure of himself and way too passionate to ever be faithful to one woman. But stranded in the world of medieval France, with its lack of creature comfort and where women are treated as nothing more than chattel, Sarah finds she must place her trust in him to care for her basic needs and see to her protection until she can figure out a way home. Now if she could just figure out a way to stop feeling the things she is feeling for Dominic....and convince him that he must let her go despite the fact that he's as determined to keep her with him in the 14th century as she is to go back to her own time. When fate deals a hand that may separate them forever, Sarah soon finds she can no longer deny the searing white hot love that spans across time itself. The kind that only comes in that special time and place When Lightning Strikes.

Literary Criticism: An Autopsy
["Mark Bauerlein"]
3.15
13
2
As the study of literature has extended to cultural contexts, critics have developed a language all their own. Yet, argues Mark Bauerlein, scholars of literature today are so unskilled in pertinent sociohistorical methods that they compensate by adopting cliches and catchphrases that serve as substitutes for information and logic. Thus by labeling a set of ideas an "ideology" they avoid specifying those ideas, or by saying that someone "essentializes" a concept they convey the air of decisive refutation. As long as a paper is generously sprinkled with the right words, clarification is deemed superfluous. Bauerlein contends that such usages only serve to signal political commitments, prove membership in subgroups, or appeal to editors and tenure committees, and that current textual practices are inadequate to the study of culture and politics they presume to undertake. His book discusses 23 commonly encountered terms—from "deconstruction" and "gender" to "problematize" and "rethink"—and offers a diagnosis of contemporary criticism through their analysis. He examines the motives behind their usage and the circumstances under which they arose and tells why they continue to flourish. A self-styled "handbook of counterdisciplinary usage," Literary An Autopsy shows how the use of illogical, unsound, or inconsistent terms has brought about a breakdown in disciplinary focus. It is an insightful and entertaining work that challenges scholars to reconsider their choice of words—and to eliminate many from critical inquiry altogether.

The Aesthetics of Failure: Dynamic Structure in the Plays of Eugene O'Neill
["Zander Brietzke"]
2
1
1
Critic Clive Barnes once called Eugene O'Neill the "world's worst great playwright" and Brooks Atkinson called him "a tragic dramatist with a great knack for old-fashioned melodrama." These descriptions of the man can also be used to describe his work. Despite the fact that O'Neill is the only American playwright to win the Nobel Prize for Literature and his last works are some of America's finest, most of his published works are not good. This work closely examines how O'Neill's failures as a playwright are inspiring and how his disappointments are reflections of his own theory that tragedy requires failure, a theory that is evident in his work. Conflicts in O'Neill's plays are studied at the structural level, with attention paid to genre, language or dialogue, characters, space and time elements, and action. Included is information about O'Neill's life and a chronological listing of all of his 50 plays with basic details such as production history, principal characters, dramatic action, and a brief commentary.

This bountiful, magical novel opens with the discovery by two fishermen of a baby floating in a cradle on an ice pan in the North Atlantic off the coast of Newfoundland in 1912. To the small fishing community into which the foundling is adopted, Aurora, as they name her with her shock of white hair, one blue eye and one brown is clearly enchanted. But it is not until Aurora is herself an old woman that she learns the heart-wrenching story behind her miraculous survival on the ice."

Bark Like a Dog!: Outrageous Ideas for Actors
["Herb Parker"]

null
This book, a short and easy read with common sense coaching and easy to follow exercises, takes beginning acting students through techniques and improvisations that will help them overcome perhaps their greatest making “The Big Choice.” Using sound examples from classical as well as contemporary plays, Herb Parker makes it easier for the theatrical neophyte by making the case that a play is “about human beings caught in an outrageous situation, caused by love.” “Actor, director, teacher Herb Parker has given us a splendid new book about acting. He analyzes this ancient art in clear, precise, engaging prose while dispensing acute, methodical and perceptive advice. Brilliant actor that he is, Herb understands the craft, the exceptional director gently leads the actor toward a fully realized performance and the thoughtful, caring teacher explains it all to the reader (student). This is the book of acting you need and one you will cherish.” --Eric Peterson, Producing Artistic Director, Oldcastle Theatre Company Herb Parker is Associate Professor in the Division of Theatre and Dance in the Department of Communications with East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee.  An actor for more than 30 years, he has worked extensively in regional theatre, stock, on national tour and Off Broadway. He holds an MFA from Ohio University’s Professional Actor Training Program, and he is a proud member of Actors’ Equity Association.

中國比小說更離奇
["Joe Chung"]

中國,一個有人以三十多萬元人民幣,吃一頓滿漢全席的國家,卻有數以億計的窮人,每天僅能消費一至兩美元;有人使用二十二萬美元的VERTU手機,但卻有無數的人必須要靠賣身、賣血、賣器官度日;至於販賣嬰兒、食用嬰兒湯的行為,更是時有所聞。 中國共產黨的所謂進步,誠如小說家倪匡所言,只是「用餐刀吃人肉」;中國的惡行,更是「比小說更離奇,比小說更戲劇化」。 目前旅居挪威的香港作家鍾祖康,於一九七九年魏京生被囚之時,開始感受到中國人統治的極度恐怖,並展開長期的中國觀察。 當台灣媒體大幅的為中國粉墨化妝,企圖宣揚中國美好與進步的假象時,本書作者鍾祖康長期藉由完整的論證與事例,批判中國社會充斥的不公不義;戳破中國文化博大精深的面具。讓比鄰而居的台灣人,能夠真實而深刻的認識這個國家,並加深台灣對中國應有的全面理解。

Notes from the Playground documents how childhood experiences — especially those that happen on the blacktop — shape who we become. These narratives arise from one principal’s epiphany that came as he looked out over a hundred children, playing, running, yelling, laughing, and crying. He recognized that he stood in a place where millions of journeys begin. He had found the starting point for countless destinies. He went forward with a different vision for how we can, by affirming the child within ourselves and one another, make our lives truer and more vital than we might have imagined.

Shanghai anno 1900: Das neue Jahrhundert scheint Viktorias Adoptivtochter Charlotte zunächst die große Liebe zu bringen. Doch ihre Hoffnung, die Ehefrau eines englischen Offiziers zu werden, stellt sich bald als Illusion heraus. Tief enttäuscht macht das dickköpfige Mädchen sich auf die Suche nach ihrer wahren Herkunft und gerät so in den Sog des Boxeraufstandes. Gleichzeitig trifft Elsa Skerpov, die Nichte von Viktorias früherer Zofe, in Shanghai ein, um ein neues, selbstständiges Leben zu beginnen. Die Aussicht auf eine gut bezahlte Stelle bringt sie nach Peking, wo die Animositäten zwischen Chinesen und Ausländern schon bald eskalieren. In einem belagerten Stadtviertel muss Elsa gemeinsam mit Menschen verschiedenster Nationen ausharren und auf ihre Rettung hoffen. Als sie entführt wird und sich plötzlich allein in der feindseligen Stadt wiederfindet, lernt sie einen Chinesen hoher Abkunft kennen. Während ihr Leben durch eine scheinbar aussichtslose Liebe vollends aus der Bahn gerät, fühlt sich Charlotte von der Brutalität des Aufstandes zunehmend abgestoßen und gerät zwischen die Fronten.

“This is our rejoicing, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world.” - 2 Cor. 1:12 Such is the voice of every true believer in Christ, so long as he abides in faith and love. “He that followeth me,” saith our Lord, “walketh not in ” And while he hath the light, he rejoiceth therein. As he hath “received the Lord Jesus Christ,” so he walketh in him; and while he walketh in him, the exhortation of the Apostle takes place in his soul, day by day, “Rejoice in the Lord always; and again I say, Rejoice.”
