Book Synopsis The Geography of Bliss by : Eric Weiner
Download or read book The Geography of Bliss written by Eric Weiner and published by Random House. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes a nation happy? Is one country's sense of happiness the same as another's? In the last two decades, psychologists and economists have learned a lot about who's happy and who isn't. The Dutch are, the Romanians aren't, and Americans are somewhere in between... After years of going to the world's least happy countries, Eric Weiner, a veteran foreign correspondent, decided to travel and evaluate each country's different sense of happiness and discover the nation that seemed happiest of all. ·He discovers the relationship between money and happiness in tiny and extremely wealthy Qatar (and it's not a good one) ·He goes to Thailand, and finds that not thinking is a contented way of life. ·He goes to the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, and discovers they have an official policy of Gross National Happiness! ·He asks himself why the British don't do happiness? In Weiner's quest to find the world's happiest places, he eats rotten Icelandic shark, meditates in Bangalore, visits strip clubs in Bangkok and drinks himself into a stupor in Reykjavik. Full of inspired moments, The Geography of Bliss accomplishes a feat few travel books dare and even fewer achieve: to make you happier.

What if those are the whispers of something not belonging to us, but rather inspiring us to carry out our own desires whilst camouflaging them as our own.

Download or read book Desperation written by Stephen King and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The terror is relentless” (Publishers Weekly) in Stephen King’s #1 national bestseller about a little mining town, Desperation, that many will enter on their way to somewhere else. But getting out is not easy as it would seem… Located off a desolate stretch of Interstate 50, Desperation, Nevada, has few connections with the rest of the world. It is a place, though, where the seams between worlds are thin. And it is a place where several travelers are abducted by Collie Entragian, the maniacal police officer of Desperation. Entragian uses various ploys for the abductions, from an arrest for drug possession to “rescuing” a family from a nonexistent gunman. There’s something very wrong here, all right, and Entragian is only the surface of it. The secrets embedded in Desperation’s landscape, and the evil that infects the town like some viral hot zone, are both awesome and terrifying. But as one of the travelers, young David Carver, seems to know—though it scares him nearly to death to realize it—so are the forces summoned to combat them. “Stephen King’s knack for turning the stray junk of pop culture into sick, darkly engrossing thrills has rarely been this much in evidence as in Desperation” (Salon).

Book Synopsis American Political Humor [2 volumes] by : Jody C. Baumgartner
Download or read book American Political Humor [2 volumes] written by Jody C. Baumgartner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-10-07 with total page 809 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume set surveys the profound impact of political humor and satire on American culture and politics over the years, paying special attention to the explosion of political humor in today's wide-ranging and turbulent media environment. Historically, there has been a tendency to regard political satire and humor as a sideshow to the wider world of American politics—entertaining and sometimes insightful, but ultimately only of modest interest to students and others surveying the trajectory of American politics and culture. This set documents just how mistaken that assumption is. By examining political humor and satire throughout US history, these volumes not only illustrate how expressions of political satire and humor reflect changes in American attitudes about presidents, parties, and issues but also how satirists, comedians, cartoonists, and filmmakers have helped to shape popular attitudes about landmark historical events, major American institutions and movements, and the nation's political leaders and cultural giants. Finally, this work examines how today's brand of political humor may be more influential than ever before in shaping American attitudes about the nation in which we live.

Book Synopsis Israel and the European Left by : Colin Shindler
Download or read book Israel and the European Left written by Colin Shindler and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-12-22 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why has the European Left become so antagonistic towards Israel? To answer this question, Colin Shindler looks at the struggle between Marxism-Leninism and Zionism from the October Revolution to today. Is such antagonism in opposition to the policies of successive Israeli governments? Or, is it due to a resurgence of anti-Semitism? The answer is far more complex. Shindler argues that the new generation of the European Left was more influenced by the decolonization movement than by wartime experiences, which led it to favor the Palestinian cause in the post 1967 period. Thus the Israeli drive to settle the West Bank after the Six Day war enhanced an already existing attitude, but did not cause it. Written by a respected scholar, this accessible and balanced work provides a novel account and analytical approach to this important subject. Israel and the European Left will interest students in international politics, Middle Eastern studies, as well as anyone who seeks to understand issues related to today's Left and the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Book Synopsis Filming the Children's Book by : Hermansson Casie Hermansson
Download or read book Filming the Children's Book written by Hermansson Casie Hermansson and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as a work of self-reflexive 'metafiction' - and the experience of reading it - differ from other types of literature, the work and the experience of viewing films that adapt metafiction are distinct from those of other films, and from other film adaptations of literary works. This book explores the adaptation of children's metafictions, including works such as Inkheart, The Invention of Hugo Cabret and the Harry Potter series. Not only are the plot devices of books and reading explored on screen in these adaptations, but so is the nature of transmedial adaptation itself - the act of representing one work of art in another medium. Analysing the 'work' done by children's metafiction and the experience of reading it, Casie E. Hermansson situates the adaptations of these types of books to film within contemporary adaptation criticism.

Download or read book Another Number for the Road written by CJ Verburg and published by Boom-Books. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first literary rock-&-roll mystery -- with live music! "The music is exhilarating, the romance is hot, and the mystery is challenging." "Fast paced, smoothly written, and enjoyable . . . Highly recommended." (See full reviews below) As the journalist daughter of a New York detective, Cory Goodwin's response to her crumbling marriage is to tackle a tough investigation. Twenty years ago, lead singer Mickey Ascher of Boston's top rock-protest band, The Rind, was slaughtered in his Back Bay penthouse. Guitarist-songwriter Dan Quasi disappeared. Now Unsolved Mysteries is reopening the cold case. That poses a killer threat to Hands Across the Sea, Boston's international exchange program for upscale professionals. Cory's editor at Phases wants her to find out if their goodwill trip to a Mystery Destination, headlined by a Mystery Band, is a crock or a scoop. But what tips the scale for Cory is learning that the Mystery Destination is Paris, where she met her husband, and the Mystery Band is headed by her old crush Dan Quasi. Why would a former rock-&-roll legend, antiwar ringleader, and murder suspect choose the Eiffel Tower and EuroDisney for an off-the-radar comeback? Cory's quest for answers pits Hands Across the Sea's musical mystery tour against her own search for lost time. With drugs, sex, and long-buried grudges exploding around the band like land mines, the nostalgia trip turns frightening, then fatal. Now Cory can't escape her father's question: Who killed Mickey Ascher? Another Number for the Road includes four original songs embedded in both the print and e-book. Don't miss this intoxicating multimedia adventure!
