Race and Entertainment - Reflections on Racism in Film TV and the Media

Thandi Lubimbi

Sinopsis

 Can you write a Black character? Are they going to be authentic? Are you aware of the pitfalls writers often fall into when creating a character of colour? 
 As a screenwriter you always want to have characters with real depth and authenticity, but too often Black characters fall victim to superficial tropes and negative stereotyping. 
 By exploring popular representation of law and order, healthcare and celebrity in the entertainment industry, and comparing this with the reality of these institutions throughout history and today, Lubimbi opens up the discussion regarding race and offers advice on creating three-dimensional characters, not stereotypes. 
 Part analysis and part workbook,  Race and Entertainment: Reflections on Racism in Film, TV and the Media  will help screenwriters and creative professionals to understand the social construct of racism and how it affects the Black experience, in order for them to be able to write an authentic Black character.

Conversational German Dialogues...

Language Mastery

LOOK, NOBODY'S GOING TO SUGARCOAT IT - GERMAN HAS A REPUTATION
Four grammar cases. Crazy long words. Those guttural sounds that make your throat hurt.
Everyone's heard the jokes. Your friends probably laughed when you said you were learning German. "Good luck with that," they said.
But here's what nobody tells you: German gets a bad rap it doesn't deserve.
The truth? If you speak English, you're already halfway there. German and English are linguistic cousins - thousands of words are nearly identical. "Water" is "Wasser." "Book" is "Buch." You already know more German than you think.
The real problem isn't German itself. It's how most people try to learn it - drowning in grammar tables before they can even say "Guten Tag."
"Conversational German Dialogues" by Language Mastery flips that approach completely.
HERE'S WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS:
✓ 100+ real conversations by native German speakers - the German people actually use in Berlin, Munich, and Vienna
✓ Two-speed audio: Start slow to nail pronunciation, then speed up as your brain catches on
✓ Story-driven learning that's actually interesting - vocabulary just sticks while you're entertained
✓ Grammar you absorb naturally - no memorizing tables, just learning like kids do
✓ Quick comprehension checks so you know you're progressing
✓ Practical vocabulary for real situations
IN 30 DAYS YOU'LL:
✓ Stop being intimidated and start enjoying German
✓ Understand native speakers without panicking
✓ Speak with confidence (even if your grammar isn't perfect yet)
✓ Open doors to career opportunities in Europe's largest economy
No grammar drills. No boring textbooks. No feeling stupid.
Just real German that makes sense. The kind that gets you talking.
READY TO PROVE EVERYONE WRONG ABOUT GERMAN BEING "TOO HARD"? START NOW.

Knead to Know - A History of Baking

Neil Buttery

In Knead to Know: A History of Baking, food historian and chef Neil Buttery takes the reader on a journey exploring the creation, evolution and cultural importance of some of our most beloved baked foods, whether they be fit for a monarch's table, or served from the bakestone of a lowly farm labourer. This book charts innovations, happy accidents and some of the most downright bizarre baked foods ever created. 
 
 
Everything has a history, but food history is special because it tells us so much about our culture and society, from the role of bread in the birth of human civilisation to the invention of the wedding cake, the creation of the whisk, or the purpose of the fish heads in a star-gazy pie. Food history encompasses it all. 
 
 
When we think of the evolution of something, we think every step is an improvement, an incremental elevation toward some peak of perfection. This is not always the case. Sometimes things have to become simpler, knowledge is lost and skills are forgotten. As a baker of historical foods, Neil Buttery demonstrates that forgotten recipes and traditional techniques are often worth trying out (and mentions a few that should perhaps be left in the past).
