Beschreibung

In 'History of English Literature from "Beowulf" to Swinburne,' Andrew Lang embarks on an ambitious and comprehensive exploration of the evolution of English literature across centuries. Lang's literary style is characterized by its clarity and accessibility, combining rigorous scholarly research with eloquent prose that captivates both the academic and casual reader. He meticulously examines pivotal works, authors, and movements, situating texts within their historical and cultural contexts, thereby revealing the interconnectedness of literature and the societal factors that influenced its development. Andrew Lang, a prominent Scottish poet, novelist, and critic of the late 19th century, was deeply immersed in the literary traditions of his time. His extensive background in philology and mythology, along with his personal commitment to understanding literary heritage, uniquely positioned him to undertake this exhaustive study. Lang's critical insights are informed by his own literary endeavors and a keen awareness of the shifting dynamics of literary taste and appreciation during the Victorian era. For readers with an interest in the trajectory of English literature or the societal forces shaping its narratives, this book is an indispensable resource. Lang's coherent synthesis of literary history provides a foundational understanding, making it a valuable addition to both academic libraries and personal collections.

    YOLT explores two artists’ lives before and after transitions: from female to male, and from near-dead to alive.
       
    The unspoken promise was that in our second life we would become the question to every answer, jumping across borders until they finally dissolve. Man and woman. Queer and straight.
       
    What if it's not true that you only live once? In this genre-transcending book, trans writer and media artist Chase Joynt and HIV-positive movie artist Mike Hoolboom come together over the films of Chris Marker to exchange transition tales, confessional missives that map out the particularities of occupying what they call ‘second lives’: Chase’s transition from female to male and Mike’s near-death from AIDS.
       
    Weaving cultural theory with memoir and media analysis, YOLT asks intimate questions about what it might meanto find love and hope through conversation across generations.
       
    'Chase Joynt and Mike Hoolboom here give each other the gift so many people only dream of: ample, unhurried space to unspool crucial stories of one’s life, and an attentive, impassioned, invested, intelligent receiver on the other side. The gift to the reader is both the example of their exchange, and the nuanced, idiosyncratic, finely rendered examination it offers of biopolitical experiences which, in many ways, define our times. I’m so glad they have each other, and that we have this.'
       
    – Maggie Nelson
       
    'Despite its complexity, the book is refreshingly clear, direct, and elegant, and pleasingly consistent in tone despite its shared authorship ... This is an ode to friendship that is as beautiful as it is revelatory.'
       
    – Shawn Syms, Quill & Quire
       
    'You Only Live Twice is an intelligent ode to enchantment, to the possibilities that arise in 'second lives' when all past expectations have been foreclosed.'
       
    – Chris Kraus
       
    'The writing is out of the park – strong and surprising, a relay race of brilliant twirling, tossing thoughts back and forth like balletic rugby bros. Joynt and Hoolboom’s dances of disclosure are so courageous and generative, gifts to us all.'
       
    – John Greyson

    Protecting Your Children from Internet Pornography exposes the many ways that pornography is menacing people, relationships, society, and—especially—our children. Dr. John Foubert’s ability to write about complex concepts in practical terms will help you understand issues like how pornography affects the brain, how pornography is a recipe for sexual violence, and why you should take measures to protect your children and those you love.

It is time for a national conversation about what pornography is really all about. Foubert’s book opens the door on that discussion and invites the reader to join the battle against porn with greater knowledge of its actual effects. You will be disturbed, shocked, motivated, and empowered to make a difference after reading this book.

    On August 6, 2011, a tragic event unfolded when Extortion 17, a Chinook helicopter, was shot down, resulting in the loss of 30 American servicemen, including 17 Navy SEALs from the legendary SEAL Team 6. It marked the largest loss of life during the War on Terror, a war America was told started because of Osama bin Laden and 9/11. 
    In Alan Parrot's narratives, an oral history captured by Nick Noe, he puts tragic events, including 9/11, Benghazi, and Extortion 17, into perspective. Alan, an Arabist, spent much of his life with royalty in the Middle East and learned about such national tragedies through observation, conversations, and omission. He explains how diplomatic immunity played a role in 9/11 and details the weapons transfer that resulted in the tragedy in Benghazi.  
    Behind these heart-wrenching incidents lies a web of secrecy and deception. Startling revelations have come to light, thanks to the evidence shared with the grief-stricken Gold Star families during the debrief. Astonishingly, it appears that Extortion 17 was not a random act of war, but rather a meticulously orchestrated setup. The threads of this conspiracy can be traced back to the historic Osama bin Laden raid, a mere three months prior, and thus 9/11. 
    Within the pages of this gripping book, you will embark on an extraordinary journey of discovery. Delve into the enigmatic concept of diya, the key that unlocks the truth behind Extortion 17. Unveiling secrets known to only a privileged few, Extortion 17's Why illuminates the darkest corners of a clandestine world. 
    Prepare to be captivated by a tale that challenges your perception of reality and sheds light on the shadows. Are you ready to unravel the mysteries and uncover the untold story of Extortion 17?
