Book Synopsis Who's in the Game? by : Terri Toles Patkin
Download or read book Who's in the Game? written by Terri Toles Patkin and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some board games--like Candy Land, Chutes & Ladders, Clue, Guess Who, The Game of Life, Monopoly, Operation and Payday--have popularity spanning generations. But over time, updates to games have created significantly different messages about personal identity and evolving social values. Games offer representations of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, religion, age, ability and social class that reflect the status quo and respond to social change. Using popular mass-market games, this rhetorical assessment explores board design, game implements (tokens, markers, 3-D elements) and playing instructions. This book argues the existence of board games as markers of an ever-changing sociocultural framework, exploring the nature of play and how games embody and extend societal themes and values.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixtapes, spandex & synchronicities: The search for heaven on earth in 1980s NYC When a heart-based life-form landing on a cold, materialistic planet known as '80s Manhattan, twenty-something Rose longs to make her mark as a writer, but most of all, find true love. In our Upper West Side apartment with Laurel (an aspiring Rockstar, along with music student Laney), we spent nights at dance clubs and days working unfulfilling jobs. Reading New Age books was an antidote to materialism but we also loved Pop Culture, cracking jokes and loving catchy 80s music. When Laurel experiments with divination hoping to find advice, she has no idea her first step will morph into a fantastic rarified journey none of us could foresee. Sparking an ethereal revolution in the apartment, these three forever change the way they see the outside world as they dig into the depths of compassion. Joined by a cast of otherworldly characters, some trustworthy, some tricksters, we three navigated the wisdom and unexpected hilarity of our screwball journey. Can true love be found on the dance floor? Or will Rose find profound facets of love in the last place she'd thought to look?

With Celebrating Birds, players and amateur naturalists can discover details about many of the birds currently at risk for extinction. As the number of birds in the United States and Canada has declined precipitously, Celebrating Birds is a fun way to raise awareness, educate, encourage activism, and provide resources on some of the most important ecological issues facing us today.

Yvonne gave her inner child a voice to express her feelings about the abuse she suffered at the hands of her parents. As she allowed the memories freedom from the self- built concrete block storage unit in her minds eye, she could see the storage unit had become a living being.

What she tried so desperately to keep hidden from others wanted a voice. Yvonne could no longer hide from the truth, pretending all was well, it was time to look back and heal the past. Stripped naked standing before you, I am allowing myself to be truly seen for the very first time. I have learned you are not your experiences; you are the interpretation of that experience.

Book Synopsis Asia Minor in the Long Sixth Century by : Ine Jacobs
Download or read book Asia Minor in the Long Sixth Century written by Ine Jacobs and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asia Minor is considered to have been a fairly prosperous region in Late Antiquity. It was rarely disturbed by external invasions and remained largely untouched by the continuous Roman-Persian conflict until very late in the period, was apparently well connected to the flourishing Mediterranean economy and, as the region closest to Constantinople, is assumed to have played an important part in the provisioning of the imperial capital and the imperial armies. When exactly this prosperity came to an end the late sixth century, the early, middle or even later seventh century remains a matter of debate. Likewise, the impact of factors such as the dust veil event of 536, the impact of the bubonic plague that made its first appearance in AD 541/542, the costs and consequences of Justinians wars, the Persian attacks of the early seventh century and, eventually the Arab incursions of around the middle of the seventh century, remains controversial. The more general living conditions in both cities and countryside have long been neglected. The majority of the population, however, did not live in urban but in rural contexts. Yet the countryside only found its proper place in regional overviews in the last two decades, thanks to an increasing number of regional surveys in combination with a more refined pottery chronology. Our growing understanding of networks of villages and hamlets is very likely to influence the appreciation of the last decades of Late Antiquity drastically. Indeed, it would seem that the sixth century in particular is characterized not only by a ruralization of cities, but also by the extension and flourishing of villages in Asia Minor, the Roman Near East, and Egypt. This volume's series of themes include the physical development of large and small settlements, their financial situation, and the proportion of public and private investment. Imperial, provincial, and local initiatives in city and countryside are compared and the main motivations examined, including civic or personal pride, military incentives, and religious stimuli. The evidence presented will be used to form opinions on the impact of the plague on living circumstances in the sixth century and to evaluate the significance of the Justinianic period.
Book Synopsis Not the Camilla We Knew by : Rachael Hanel
Download or read book Not the Camilla We Knew written by Rachael Hanel and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2022-12-13 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mystery of how an ordinary Minnesota girl came to be, briefly, one of the most wanted domestic terrorists in the United States Behind every act of domestic terrorism there is someone’s child, an average American whose life took a radical turn for reasons that often remain mysterious. Camilla Hall is a case in point: a pastor’s daughter from small-town Minnesota who eventually joined the ranks of radicals like Sara Jane Olson (aka Kathleen Soliah) in the notorious Symbionese Liberation Army before dying in a shootout with Los Angeles Police in May 1974. How could a “good girl” like Camilla become one of the most wanted domestic terrorists in the United States? Rachael Hanel tells her story here, revealing both the deep humanity and the extraordinary circumstances of Camilla Hall’s life. Camilla’s childhood in a tight-knit religious family was marred by loss and grief as, one after another, her three siblings died. Her path from her Minnesota home to her final, radical SLA family featured years as an artist and activist—in welfare offices, political campaigns, union organizing, culminating in a love affair that would be her introduction to the SLA. Through in-depth research and extensive interviews, Hanel pieces together Camilla’s bewildering transformation from a “gentle, zaftig, arty, otherworldy” young woman (as one observer remarked), working for social change within the system, into a gun-wielding criminal involved in the kidnapping of Patty Hearst. During this time of mounting unrest and violence, Camilla Hall’s story is of urgent interest for what it reveals about the forces of radicalization. But as Hanel ventures ever further into Camilla’s past, searching out the critical points where character and cause might intersect, her book becomes an intriguing, disturbing, and ultimately deeply moving journey into the dark side of America’s promise.

At times her dreams would become so terrible and consuming that she would lose touch with reality and her immediate surroundings. Lou grew up to see some of her dreams become startling realities as she would travel to many of the places that she had dreamed about. Many of her mental innovations would startle even her family and friends. Her parents had not a clue that she would grow up to become a very rich and famous personality. Ms. Anders gives many elaborate and celebrated accounts and reports of the distress, the loneliness, and the torment that she had to face on a nightly basis. Even though her dreams were just dreams, they would often leave her dejected, hopeless, and traumatized. After the death of her husband, Butch, who was her number 1 supporter, and after the death of their romantic interlude, her life changed for the worse.
