Category:Martial ArtsFrom classic Bruce Lee films to the comedies of Jackie Chan, a vibrant look at the enduring fascination with the kung fu cinema of Hong Kong.
In the spring and summer of 1973, a wave of martial arts movies from Hong Kong-epitomized by Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon-smashed box-office records for foreign-language films in America and ignited a "kung fu craze" that swept the world. Fighting without Fighting explores this dramatic phenomenon, and it argues that, more than just a cinematic fad, the West's sudden fascination with-and moral panic about-the Asian fighting arts left lasting legacies still present today.
The book traces the background of the craze in the longer development of Hong Kong's martial arts cinema. It discusses the key films in detail, as well as their popular reception and the debates they ignited, where kung fu challenged Western identities and raised anxieties about violence, both on and off-screen....

Category:Nonfiction, Politics, History, Economics, Activism, Social Justice, AudiobookThe inspiring people and grassroots organizations that are on the front lines of the battle to save the planet
As the world's scientists have come together and declared a "climate emergency," the fight to protect our planet's ecological resources and the people that depend on them is more urgent than ever. But the real battles for our future are taking place far from the headlines and international conferences, in mostly forgotten American communities where the brutal realities of industrial pollution and environmental degradation have long been playing out.
The World We Need provides a vivid introduction to America's largely unsung grassroots environmental groups-often led by activists of color and the poor-valiantly fighting back in America's so-called sacrifice zones against industries poisoning our skies and waterways and heating our planet. Through original reporting, profiles, artwork, and interviews, we learn how...

Description:
An authoritative commentary on the surviving fragments of Greek lyric poetry up to the death of Aristotle. No comparable work exists, partly because these fragments are usually small, textually corrupt and difficult to interpret. But they cast light on several aspects of Greek culture: for example, religion and prayer formulae (many of them take the form of hymns), the symposium (they include a collection of scolia), and the development of the so-called 'New School' of poetry and music. They also include fragments of poems by Telesilla and Praxilla, two of the rare band of female poets of antiquity other than Sappho, and Philoxenus' Deipnon, which puts into dactylo-epitrite metre the contents of an imaginary banquet, including long list of different types of food. Our knowledge of Euripides and Aristotle is expanded by the preservation of a quotation from a victory ode the former wrote for Alcibiades, and of an entire lyric eulogy for a dead friend composed by the latter. Also
extended is our knowledge of that tantalising and in many ways baffling period of Greek literature between the death of Sophocles and the death of Aristotle. Nor should one forget the scurrilous verse of Timeon, which extends our awareness of the capabilities of fifth century literary invective, and its capacity for parody and inversion of the topoi of praise poetry.

Description:
In the second edition of Uprooted Minds, Hollander offers a unique social psychoanalytic exploration of our increasingly destabilized political environment, augmented by her research into the previously untold history of psychoanalytic engagement in the challenging social issues of our times.
Often akin to a political thriller, Hollander's social psychoanalytic analysis of the devastating effects of group trauma is illuminated through testimonials by U.S. and South American psychoanalysts who have survived the vicissitudes of their countries' authoritarian political regimes and destabilizing economic crises. Hollander encourages reflections about our experience as social/psychological subjects through her elaboration of the reciprocal impact of social power, hegemonic ideology, large group dynamics and unconscious processes. Her epilogue, written a decade after the first edition of Uprooted Minds, extends its themes to the present period, arguing for a decolonial psychoanalysis that addresses coloniality and white supremacy as the latent forces responsible for our deepening political crises and environmental catastrophe. She shows how the progressive psychoanalytic activism she depicts in the book that was on the margins of the profession has in the last decade moved increasingly to the centre of psychoanalytic theory and praxis.
This book will prove essential for those at work or interested in the fields of psychoanalysis, politics, economics, globalization and history.

Category:Paranormal Romance, Paranormal RomanceDemons don't hide under my bed-they crawl into it. Selling my soul to save the life of my ingrate ex-boyfriend was the final nail in my coffin of bad decisions. It won me a painful death, a thankless job as an errand girl, and landed me in the Chasm-a violent and dangerous part of the afterlife. And as if dying wasn't bad enough, I now have the attention of the four Demon Lords who run the Chasm-Gorrin, the man who owns my soul, Tyrus, a brilliant and ruthless mobster, Yazmor, who lives as if everything is a joke, and Hale, an unpredictable and violent loner. My unhappy little rut is shattered when I'm tasked with taking the soul of an innocent teenage girl. Finding another option will require facing my past and outsmarting the most powerful beings in existence. If I thought the Demon Lords were intimidating as lovers, that's nothing compared to having them as enemies. At least the afterlife isn't boring.

He just needs to figure out how to get the enchanting man to come down from his gilded cage and see what is waiting for him down below. But when the stunning dancer in the cage spends more time hiding from the world than embracing it, Ben knows he's going to have to get creative if he wants to catch the pretty bird's attention.
All it took was one look for Conner to know the man standing in front of him was insane.
It also only took one look for Conner to realize he might have a thing for crazy men with big dreams. Something about the passion in the bold man's eyes pulls him in, but what captures Conner's imagination are the tempting promises and the way the man sees more than just a naughty bird dancing high above the crowd.
