Quit Everything - Interpreting...

Franco Bifo Berardi

Analyzes the current wave of depression, or "desertion," that is causing more and more people to abandon hope and desire in a world where social, political, and environment collapse seems inevitable. 
 
 
 
Depression is rife amongst young people the world over. But what if this isn't depression as we know it, but instead a reaction to the chaos and collapse of a seemingly unchangeable and unlivable future? 
 
 
 
In Quit Everything, Franco Berardi argues that this "depression" is actually conscious or unconscious withdrawal of psychological energy and a dis-investment of desire that he defines instead as "desertion." A desertion from political participation, from the daily grind of capitalism, from the brutal reality of climate collapse, and from a society which offers nothing but chaos and pain. 
 
 
 
Berardi analyzes why this desertion is on the rise and why more people are quitting everything in our age of political impotence and the rise of the far-right, asking if we can find some political hope in desertion amongst the ruins of a world on the brink of collapse.

The Theory of Evolution is a Joke

Danny Erhardt

Danny Erhardt, a mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, has sought the truth, and fortuitously found it. You can too. If you seek it with all your heart. If you love the truth more than the opinions and conclusions that are already in your head. The lies of Satan ("the great deceiver who goes forth to deceive the whole world") cover this earth like a blanket, and people believe whatever they are taught. (Evolution is one of them...) What lies have you been taught? have you learned to hold dear? ...Danny is father to a half dozen boys and girls, and grandfather to a little more than half a dozen.  
If you have any unintelligent criticisms or thoughtless attacks on the truth, to share, please send them to our Complaint Dept. Administrator, Mrs. Helen Waite. Go to her if you feel the need to vent any or all of the evolutionary indoctrinated lies that we were all fed, and that unfortunately too many still believe. Also, if anyone is offended by any, or all, of the accurate scientific truths and realities imparted here, then please bang your face against your bathroom mirror for about half an hour, and then hide under your mommy's bed for a couple of weeks. This should help.  
Well, thank you so much for picking up a copy of this book, or considering doing the same. It's called the truth. And may God (you know, the actual Creator of all of this) richly bless you and yours.

Hooked - Art and Attachment

Rita Felski

How does a novel entice or enlist us? How does a song surprise or seduce us? Why do we bristle when a friend belittles a book we love, or fall into a funk when a favored TV series comes to an end? What characterizes the aesthetic experiences of feeling captivated by works of art? In Hooked, Rita Felski challenges the ethos of critical aloofness that is a part of modern intellectuals’ self-image. The result is sure to be as widely read as Felski’s book, The Limits of Critique. 
 
Wresting the language of affinity away from accusations of sticky sentiment and manipulative marketing, Felski argues that “being hooked” is as fundamental to the appreciation of high art as to the enjoyment of popular culture. Hooked zeroes in on three attachment devices that connect audiences to works of art: identification, attunement, and interpretation. Drawing on examples from literature, film, music, and painting—from Joni Mitchell to Matisse, from Thomas Bernhard to Thelma and Louise—Felski brings the language of attachment into the academy. Hooked returns us to the fundamentals of aesthetic experience, showing that the social meanings of artworks are generated not just by critics, but also by the responses of captivated audiences.

Jeffrey D. Clements, Bill Myers

A revised and updated edition of the definitive guide to overturning Citizens United. 
 
 
  
Since the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling that the rights of things—money and corporations—matter more than the rights of people, America has faced a crisis of democracy. In this timely and thoroughly updated second edition, Jeff Clements describes the strange history of this bizarre ruling, its ongoing destructive effects, and the growing movement to reverse it. 
 
  
  
He includes a new chapter, "Do Something!," showing how—state by state and community by community—Americans are using creative strategies and tools to renew democracy and curb unbalanced corporate power. Since the first edition, sixteen states, one-hundred-sixty members of Congress, and five hundred cities and towns have called for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, and the list is growing. This is a fight we can win! 
 
 
  
"More relevant than ever, this updated edition of Corporations Are Not People chronicles the remarkably vibrant, nationwide grassroots movement to 'get money out and voters in.' " —Katrina vanden Heuvel, Editor and Publisher, The Nation
