The Hebrew Saga

Gershon Rubin

A personal and philosophical meditation on the Hebrew Bible, its stories, and its sages.In this volume, Gershon Rubin attempts to draw the secrets of the antediluvian world into the modern day. Through the lens of a lifetime of spiritual learning, he explores the ancient saga of creation, Adam and Eve, and the generations to come after. As Rubin states by way of introduction to The Hebrew Saga, “My first name, Gershon, is similar to the Greek word geron (old man). Thus through my ‘geronoscope,’ I view the over-four-thousand-year-long written history of the Hebrew nation, which resulted in the origination of this my world-view, or world outlook.”

A Rare Recording of Film...

DW Griffith

David Wark Griffith (January 22, 1875 - July 23, 1948), best known for directing the 1915 film "The Birth of a Nation," is considered one of the most influential figures in the history of the motion picture, pioneering many aspects of film editing and expanding the art of the narrative film. In 1919, together with Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks, Griffith founded the movie studio United Artists, with the goal of enabling actors and directors to make films on their own terms as opposed to the terms of commercial studios. In this 1930 recording, actor Walter Huston and director DW Griffith discuss Griffith's film "The Birth of a Nation."

Poor Richard's Almanack (Deluxe...

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack, first published in 1732 under the pseudonym Richard Saunders, is a seminal work in American literature that blends practical wisdom with sharp wit. Originally serving as an annual publication, the almanac offered readers a mix of weather forecasts, household tips, puzzles, and, most notably, a collection of aphorisms and proverbs that emphasized virtues like thrift, industry, and prudence. Many of these sayings, such as "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise," have become ingrained in American vernacular. Beyond its practical content, the almanac provided entertainment through its humor and satire, often featuring fictional narratives and characters. Franklin's creation not only reflected the values of colonial America but also played a role in shaping the nation's cultural identity. The enduring popularity of Poor Richard's Almanack underscores its significance as both a historical document and a source of timeless advice.

Language and Mediated...

Robert W Lawson

From television shows to the manosphere, and from alt-right communities to fatherhood forums, debates about masculinity have come to dominate the media landscape. This growing cultural tension around masculinities has been discussed and analyzed both for general audiences and in burgeoning academic scholarship. What has been typically overlooked, however, is the role that language plays in these mediated performances of masculinity. 
 
 
 
In Language and Mediated Masculinities, Robert Lawson draws on data from newspapers, social media sites, television programs, and online forums to explore language and masculinities across a range of media contexts. The book offers a critical evaluation of the intersection between language, masculinities, and identities in contemporary society. Lawson furthers our understanding of how language is implicated in (re)creating gender ideologies and how it shapes contemporary gender relations. Against a cultural backdrop of rising neoliberalism, ethnic nationalism, online radicalization, networked misogyny, and fractious gender relations, this book is an important contribution to charting how language is used to monitor, evaluate, and police masculinities in online and offline spaces.
