Book excerpt: This is the COMPLETE collection of the Freeing Beck Series. It includes THREE short stories. Breaking Free: Dark haired, green eyed Beck’s finally ready to attend his coming out party. He’s bent on finding his freedom when he meets Tobias “Carver” Coleman, an MMA fighter who’s bent on setting him free. Beck grew up knowing he’d be arm candy. He knew he was beautiful and he spent ten years learning exactly how to please a man. He knew the art of conversation, how to laugh and smile and make a man feel special. He was ready to accept his fate until he met Tobias “Carver” Coleman. Tobias “Carver” Coleman found himself at an exclusive underground event alongside his billionaire best friend. He’d been single for years, but Beck’s brilliant green eyes warmed him from the inside out, but Beck has a secret worth over a million dollars. Beck wants his freedom and Tobias wants Beck. Can they both get what they want? Finding Freedom: Free from his previous master, Beck has a lot of learning to do. He has to get his high school diploma, navigate a world where he decides what he wants to do, and most importantly make friends. On his first day of school, he meets a girl named Moe who questions Tobias’ motives and everything he’s done for Beck, sending Beck flying off the rails. Can Beck sort out the good from the bad and decide between Moe and Tobias? Ultimate Release: Back on the right track, Beck works on getting his life back together. The next semester of school brings new friends and new opportunities. And it’s been over a year since the first night Tobias brought him home. A year of hard times and having Tobias stand by him makes Beck ready for something more, but Tobias may not feel ready. Is he ready to learn from his mistakes and start over again with a new friend and finally have an intimate relationship with Tobias?
Download or read book Ulrich Beck written by Klaus Rasborg and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-10 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive and thorough interpretation of Beck's theory of the (world) risk society, from its original formulation up to his sudden death on New Year's Day 2015. Beck's entire body of work is divided into four interrelated phases, which are successively presented and discussed, namely: the original theory of risk society (from 1986 onwards); the theory of the world risk society (from 1996 onwards); the theory of cosmopolitanism and cosmopolitanization (from 1996 onwards); and the theory of 'metamorphosis', 'emancipatory catastrophism and 'global imagined risk communities' (2013–16). The book thus demonstrates how Beck’s concept of the (world) risk society has given us a new language or a special lens that enables us to better understand contemporary society’s complexity and its myriad of human-made uncertainties in terms of climate change, terrorist threats, global pandemics, economic crises, and migration crises.

Book excerpt: "Sela Halstead lost her innocence in a way that no sixteen-year-old should ever have to endure. She's spent years trying to forget that night even while wondering about the identities of the monsters who brutalized her--until a telltale tattoo flashes across Sela's TV screen. The incriminating ink belongs to Jonathon Townsend, the millionaire founder of The Sugar Bowl, a website that matches rich older men with impressionable young women. Obsessed with revenge, Sela infiltrates Townsend's world, only to come face-to-face with a tantalizing complication: Beckett North, his charismatic business partner"--
Download or read book Ulrich Beck written by Mads P. Sørensen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s, Ulrich Beck has worked extensively on his theories of second modernity and the risk society. In Ulrich Beck, Mads P. Sørensen and Allan Christiansen provide an extensive and thorough introduction to the German sociologist’s collected works. The book covers his sociology of work, his theories of individualization, globalization and subpolitics, his world famous theory of the risk society and second modernity as well as his latest work on cosmopolitanism. Focusing on the theory outlined in Beck’s chief work, Risk Society, and on his theory of second modernity, Sørensen and Christiansen explain the sociologist’s ideas and writing in a clear and accessible way. Largely concerned with the last 25 years of Beck’s authorship, the book nevertheless takes a retrospective look at his works from the late seventies and early eighties, and reviews the critique that has been raised against Beck’s sociology through the years. Each chapter of Ulrich Beck comes with a list of suggested further reading, as well as explanations of core terms. The book also includes a biography of Beck, and full bibliographies of his work in both English and German. This comprehensive introduction will be of interest to all students of sociology, contemporary social theory, globalization theory, environmental studies, politics, geography and risk studies.

Book Synopsis Beck: The Art of Mutation by : Nevin Martell
Download or read book Beck: The Art of Mutation written by Nevin Martell and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2002-06-15 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1993, a quirky California boy named Beck burst onto the scene with the irony warped anthem "Loser." He has since earned a reputation as one of the most innovative, stylish, and vital recording artists of our time -- selling millions of records in the United States alone, heading up numerous Album of the Year lists, and taking home a few Grammys and MTV spacemen. This insightful portrait explores Beck's unorthodox childhood, his rise to fame, and his impact on the landscape of contemporary music. When Odelay hit shelves in the summer of 1996, it was clear this eccentric young man was a musical force to be reckoned with. Born Bek David Campbell in 1970 to a Warhol Superstar mother and a bluegrass musician father, Beck spent his adolescence recording audio oddities and learning to strum old blues songs on a pawn shop guitar -- planting the seed for his critically acclaimed outings Mellow Gold, Odelay, Mutations, and Midnite Vultures. Mixing funk, folk R&B, soul, hip-hop, and rock 'n' roll into a heady sonic cocktail, Beck has crafted a singular sound that is as hard to pin down as it is recognizable. Exploring his musical history, live performances, and recording sessions -- and featuring a complete discography that includes hard-to-find collaborations and appearances -- this is a comprehensive and fascinating inating look at the inimitable and ever-evolving Beck.

She needs him to track down a stolen painting--one that's sought after by art collectors, criminal masterminds, and the Catholic Church. To find it, she needs to locate the men who stole it. She won't take no for an answer.

Book Synopsis Community Action and Climate Change by : Jennifer Kent
Download or read book Community Action and Climate Change written by Jennifer Kent and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The failure of recent international negotiations to progress global action on climate change has shifted attention to the emergence of grassroots sustainability initiatives. These civil society networks display the potential to implement social innovation and change processes from the ‘bottom up’. Recent scholarship has sought to theorise grassroots community-based low carbon practices in terms of their sustainability transition potential. However there are few empirical examples that demonstrate the factors for success of community-based social innovations in achieving more widespread adoption outside of their local, sustainability ‘niche’. The book seeks to address two significant gaps related to grassroots climate action: firstly the continuing dominance of the individualisation of responsibility for climate change action which presupposes that individuals hold both the ability and desire to shift their behaviours and lifestyle choices to align with a low carbon future. Secondly, the potential for community-based collectives to influence mainstream climate change governance, an area significantly under researched. Drawing on empirical research into Australian Climate Action Groups (CAGs) and related international research, the book argues that grassroots community-based collective action on climate change holds the key to broader social change. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, citizen participation, environmental sociology and sustainable development.
Book Synopsis Nature, Technology and the Sacred by : Bronislaw Szerszynski
Download or read book Nature, Technology and the Sacred written by Bronislaw Szerszynski and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative and timely book argues that contemporary ideas and practices concerning nature and technology remain closely bound up with religious ways of thinking and acting. Using examples from North America, Europe and elsewhere, it reinterprets a range of 'secular' phenomena in terms of their conditioning by a complex series of transformations of the sacred in Western history. The contemporary practices of environmental politics, technological risk behaviour, alternative medicine, vegetarianism and ethical consumption take on new significance as sites of struggle between different sacral orderings. Nature, Technology and the Sacred introduces a radically new direction for today's critical discourse concerning nature and technology – one that reinstates it as a moment within the ongoing religious history of the West.
