Download or read book My Fair Ladies written by Julie Wosk and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fantasy of a male creator constructing his perfect woman dates back to the Greek myth of Pygmalion and Galatea. Yet as technology has advanced over the past century, the figure of the lifelike manmade woman has become nearly ubiquitous, popping up in everything from Bride of Frankenstein to Weird Science to The Stepford Wives. Now Julie Wosk takes us on a fascinating tour through this bevy of artificial women, revealing the array of cultural fantasies and fears they embody. My Fair Ladies considers how female automatons have been represented as objects of desire in fiction and how “living dolls” have been manufactured as real-world fetish objects. But it also examines the many works in which the “perfect” woman turns out to be artificial—a robot or doll—and thus becomes a source of uncanny horror. Finally, Wosk introduces us to a variety of female artists, writers, and filmmakers—from Cindy Sherman to Shelley Jackson to Zoe Kazan—who have cleverly crafted their own images of simulated women. Anything but dry, My Fair Ladies draws upon Wosk’s own experiences as a young female Playboy copywriter and as a child of the “feminine mystique” era to show how images of the artificial woman have loomed large over real women’s lives. Lavishly illustrated with film stills, artwork, and vintage advertisements, this book offers a fresh look at familiar myths about gender, technology, and artistic creation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When people mention autism, they often mean children or young adults and the programs that support them. However, one does not suddenly grow out of being autistic--ASD, ADD, and ADHD. We just grow better at avoiding our trigger areas and developing covering skills. In this compelling book, the author, Diane Fobes, starts with a very open biography explaining her undiagnosed life and how she escaped her diagnosis until she was sixty-five. Then she talks about some ideas on helping our seniors on the spectrum and supports the mothers (and fathers) who are raising a new generation of children and young adults on the spectrum, as well as those discovering that they might have senior relatives who are on the spectrum as well. Enjoy your read.
Book Synopsis Short Stories for Romantics by : Andrew J. Salat
Download or read book Short Stories for Romantics written by Andrew J. Salat and published by LifeRich Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The famous songwriter Cole Porter once asked, "What Is This Thing Called Love?" His question caused author Andrew J. Salat to wonder: is the condition physical, spiritual, or, as some cynics might describe, "a temporary madness of the heart"? Salat believes Mr. Porter's question is answered quite well in Short Stories for Romantics. The story "High Heels" is a haunting tale of love found and lost, told to him by an interesting airline passenger. "Adrienne's Room" takes the reader on an unforgettable roller-coaster ride. For a more spiritual journey, "High Level Meeting" seeks to bring on second thoughts about the way we live our lives. These sixteen stories take the reader on an imaginary sojourn we all must take in order to experience true love in our lives. "Mr. Salat is a gifted storyteller with imagination and eloquent style. His stories had me turning pages to the very last." --Beverly DeGeorge, literary consultant

Book excerpt: Hopeless. Freak. Elephant. Pitiful. These are the words of Skinny, the vicious voice that lives inside fifteen-year-old Ever Davies's head. Skinny tells Ever all the dark thoughts her classmates have about her. Ever knows she weighs over three hundred pounds, knows she'll probably never be loved, and Skinny makes sure she never forgets it. But there is another voice: Ever's singing voice, which is beautiful but has been silenced by Skinny. Partly in the hopes of trying out for the school musical - and partly to try and save her own life - Ever decides to undergo a risky surgery that may help her lose weight and start over. With the support of her best friend, Ever begins the uphill battle toward change. But demons, she finds, are not so easy to shake, not even as she sheds pounds. Because Skinny is still around. And Ever will have to confront that voice before she can truly find her own. Donna Cooner brings warmth, wit, and startling insight to this unforgettable debut.
Download or read book Sweet Mornings written by Patty Pinner and published by Agate Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Start your days off right with taste-tempting delights from the author of Sweety Pies and Sweets: Soul Food Desserts and Memories. From donuts to crumb cakes to sweet rolls, this cookbook collects the kind of treats that evoke feelings of warmth and comfort like only good, old-fashioned breakfast food can. Author Patty Pinner has been collecting breakfast recipes for as long as she can remember. She comes from a long line of breakfast bakers, and many of the recipes in this book have been passed down from the “Greats” —great-grannies and -aunties—as well as cousins and other influential women in Pinner’s life. To pore through these recipes, and then to bake them at home, evokes in Pinner memories of the many women who created them. Pinner includes charming, often comical stories about her life and family throughout the cookbook. With generations-old recipes that range from the familiar (Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes) to the fun (Pineapple Upside Down Biscuits), Sweet Mornings is a reliable, well-tested addition to any kitchen. These recipes are ideal for slow weekend mornings and afternoons when you want to lure family and friends to the table with the intoxicating aroma of a homemade sweet treat baking in the oven. As the author’s mother used to say, the only thing that differentiates breakfast from dinner is the time of day. Where does it say you can’t have a little sugar in the morning? “Pinner shares these succulent sentiments amongst these pages from women who cooked meals that could make modern men cry . . . a delightful read that feels like home.” —Cuisine Noir

Book excerpt: Highlights from "Separate Yourself " "Young professionals have a huge opportunity to differentiate themselves...your business behavior and common sense can be the reason you succeed." "Remember, it's much less painful to be prepared and not need it, than to need it and not be prepared." "The subtle ability that allows you to recall and "document" the logic behind your decisions is very valuable." What leaders and readers are saying about "Separate Yourself " - Light is shined on many professional topics and their potential ramifications that most young adults have not considered. It provides insight that many would have loved to have received as they began their own careers. Separate Yourself is a must read for any college student or young professional Jody Leis, Young Professional - Separate Yourself spoke directly to me as a college student looking to advance in the business world. The examples of "business behavior" are things I've never learned in class but are clearly going to be important. From commonsense business advice to the importance of balancing your career and family life, this book covers a variety of great topics I would not otherwise be exposed to. Kyle Hamilton, Business Major, Purdue University - Wouldn't it be great if we could "learn then live" rather than "live and learn"? This book is not a compilation of untested theories but packed with experience, commonsense and subtleties that are obvious, but rarely considered. It's also a fun read filled with entertaining stories and examples. Separate Yourself is a must read for life-long learners of every age Jon McDugle, Lead Pastor & Mentor
