  The Abercrombie Age - Millennial...

  Be popular and good-looking—it's the key to a happy life. Luckily, with a bit of know-how and money, you, too, can have it all. At least, that's what teen pop culture was selling in surround sound at the turn of the millennium. From movies like Clueless to TV's Dawson's Creek to the music videos on MTV's Total Request Live and the catalogs of Abercrombie & Fitch, a consumer-minded ethos drove pop culture storytelling as millennials came of age in the late 1990s and early 2000s. But in the long shadow of the Great Recession, the upwardly mobile aspirations fostered by the era's popular culture and media seem to have been thwarted. Many millennials today lack the wealth their parents had at the same age, and the gaps between rich and poor rival those of the Gilded Age. 
   
   
   
  The Abercrombie Age reconsiders teen popular culture from the turn of the twenty-first century, revealing how it told young people that life not only could but surely would get better. Far from frivolous or forgettable, the era's superficial, materialistic culture sold millennials unrealistic expectations of what life could offer, setting up a stark juxtaposition with the realities of today.

  Mythical Creatures of the World...

  Mythical creatures have captivated human imagination for centuries, appearing in folklore, religious texts, and even historical records. These legendary beasts serve as more than just entertaining stories—they reflect cultural values, fears, and the mysteries of the unknown. Across different civilizations, mythical beings have played vital roles in shaping traditions, inspiring art, and even influencing belief systems. From fire-breathing dragons to elusive lake monsters, these creatures continue to spark curiosity and debate. But what is it about these beings that makes them so enduring?  
    
  One reason for their lasting appeal is their connection to human experiences. Many mythical creatures represent forces of nature, embodying storms, oceans, or the deep forests where the unknown lurks. Others symbolize human emotions or moral lessons—such as the cunning trickster fox in Japanese folklore or the powerful yet wise dragon in Chinese mythology. Whether feared, worshipped, or admired, these creatures often serve as cautionary tales or representations of humanity’s struggle with the world around them.  
    
  Common themes emerge across different cultures, even in societies that had no contact with each other. Dragons, for instance, appear in both European and Asian folklore, though their interpretations differ. While European dragons are often portrayed as greedy, fire-breathing monsters to be slain by heroes, their Chinese counterparts are wise and benevolent, associated with strength and good fortune. Likewise, stories of water-dwelling serpents and half-human beings exist in legends from Scandinavia to South America, suggesting that the human mind is naturally drawn to certain archetypes.

  She's Unlikeable - And Other...

  When Aparna Shewakramani appeared on Netflix’s hit series Indian Matchmaking, it soon became clear that Aparna knew what she wanted. But all stories are told through certain lenses—and her story is no exception. Being on a reality show made Aparna feel like a character. Her decisiveness and sense of self-worth led viewers to see her as a very specific archetype: the villain, the woman you love to hate, the unlikeable woman. It turned around, though, with a single message of support: Be Like Aparna. Soon supporters were in the tens of thousands. Women are tired of seeing other women being vilified simply because they have a voice. In this book, you will learn about the real Aparna Shewakramani. She bares it all—the good, the bad, and the it-depends-on-how-you-look-at-it. There is her mother’s bravery in escaping an abusive marriage, Aparna’s diagnosis of an autoimmune disease, and her confession that she, too, is susceptible to the deep-rooted need to be pretty and likeable. But it is also the story of her entrepreneurial spirit and her success. It is about lessons learned and the strength to be your own woman. This is a journey to prevent Aparna-the-person from being erased by Aparna-the-character.

  Disgraced - How Sex Scandals...

  Disgraced is a sweeping religious and cultural history of Protestant sex scandals in nineteenth and twentieth century America. From the birth of the modern press to the advent of the internet age, the book traces the public downfalls of religious leaders who purported to safeguard the morality of the nation.At first hesitant to report on sexual misconduct among the clergy in order to protect the reputation of Protestantism writ large, newspapers embraced the genre of pastoral scandal in the 1870s, when the biggest celebrity minister of the era, Henry Beecher, stood trial for adultery. As Protestant institutions struggled to protect their reputations, they turned to secrecy and silencing—often foregoing opportunities for engaging in productive reckoning with the problem of sexual hypocrisy among their clergy.Disgraced shows how the persistence of stories about misbehaving Protestant ministers allowed the press to compete with the pulpit as a source of moral authority, forced denominations to confront the problems that scandal exposed, and emboldened public scrutiny of religious piety. In its broad scope and compelling storytelling, the book is a timely contribution to the current moment of cultural reckoning with religious hypocrisy, charismatic authority, and sexual abuse.
