  The popular psychoanalyst examines the continuing tension in our lives between the possibilities that freedom offers and the various limitations imposed upon us by our particular fate or destiny. 
   
   
   
  "May is an existential analyst who deservedly enjoys a reputation among both general and critical readers as an accessible and insightful social and psychological theorist . . . Freedom's characteristics, fruits, and problems; destiny's reality; death; and therapy's place in the confrontation between freedom and destiny are examined . . . Poets, social critics, artists, and other thinkers are invoked appropriately to support May's theory of freedom and destiny's interdependence." —Library Journal 
   
   
   
  "Especially instructive, even stunning, is Dr. May's willingness to respect mystery . . . There is, too, at work throughout the book a disciplined yet relaxed clinical mind, inclined to celebrate . . . what Flannery O'Connor called 'mystery and manners,' and to do so in a tactful, meditative manner." —Robert Coles, America

  In an awesome meeting of minds, cultural theorists Stuart Hall and bell hooks met for a series of wide-ranging conversations on what Hall sums up as "life, love, death, sex." From the trivial to the profound, across boundaries of age, sexualities and genders, hooks and Hall dissect topics and themes of continual contemporary relevance, including feminism, home and homecoming, class, black masculinity, family, politics, relationships, and teaching. In their fluid and honest dialogue they push and pull each other as well as the listener, and the result is a book that speaks to the power of conversation as a place of critical pedagogy.

  Erotic Adventures of a Victorian...

  The masochistic Lady Bridgette Donahue is Doctor Damian Thatch's favorite patient, but since she is a married woman he must contain his passions when with her. Desiring a partner without limitations, Damian frequents Madame Q's nunnery, a high-end London brothel which provides the services of dolly mops for gentlemen with sadistic tastes. A dolly mop is a girl in domestic service, such as a maid or a nanny, who in order to earn a little extra money beyond her regular employment chooses to become a prostitute. Unlike a full time brothel worker who cannot afford to be left in a condition which might render her unable to entertain gentlemen for a few days, a dolly mop can easily keep marks hidden in her regular job and take the time to recover before returning to brothel work. 
  Yet in spite of the liberties he is able to take with prostitutes, Damian’s arousal and subsequent release with them is never as grand as when he is with the submissive Lady Bridgette. Purchasing pleasures deprives Damian of the authenticity his sadism requires. 
  But when Damian notices that a new dolly mop is actually Rosie, his own parlor maid, he realizes that he may have found a potential solution to his frustration. When he confronts Rosie she chooses to take the option of being trained to satisfy his desires rather than face immediate termination of employment. Now Damian will turn Rosie into his ideal submissive, subjecting her to bondage, birching, and a variety of sex acts including performing with Lady Bridgette.

  In Their Surroundings -...

  From the second half of the nineteenth century through to World War II, Eastern Europe, especially the territories that formerly made up the Pale of Settlement in the Tsarist Empire, witnessed a Jewish cultural flowering that went hand-in-hand with a multifaceted literary productivity in the Hebrew and Yiddish languages. Accompanied and sometimes directly affected by the dramatic political ruptures of the era, many authors experimented with various modernist poetics in the context of a culturally and literarily closely interwoven milieu. This beautifully illustrated catalogue presents for the first time some of the key figures of the era, including in each case a portrait of the author and a close reading of selected texts, including Yosef Ḥayim Brenner, Leah Goldberg, Moyshe Kulbak, and Deborah Vogel. Of particular interest here is the productive entanglement of cultures and literatures, of cultural contact and transfer, and the significance of space and place for the development of modern Jewish literatures.

  The Ballot and the Bible - How...

  "A nuanced look at America's legacy of scriptural language." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
   
   
   
  How do Bible passages written thousands of years ago apply to politics today? What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics? How can we converse with people whose views differ from our own? 
   
   
   
  In The Ballot and the Bible, Kaitlyn Schiess explores these questions and more. She unpacks examples of how Americans have connected the Bible to politics in the past, highlighting times it was applied well and times it was egregiously misused. 
   
   
   
  Schiess combines American political history and biblical interpretation to help listeners faithfully read Scripture, talk with others about it, and apply it to contemporary political issues—and to their lives. Rather than prescribing what listeners should think about specific hot-button issues, Schiess outlines core biblical themes around power, allegiance, national identity, and more. 
   
   
   
  Listeners will be encouraged to pursue a biblical basis for their political engagement with compassion and confidence.
