Book excerpt: In the Dutch countryside the war seems far away. For most people, at least. But not for Ed, a Jew in Nazi-occupied Holland trying to find some safe sanctuary. Compelled to go into hiding in the rural province of Zeeland, he is taken in by a seemingly benevolent family of farmers. But, as Ed comes to realize, the Van 't Westeindes are not what they seem. Camiel, the son of the house, is still in mourning for his best friend, a German soldier who committed suicide the year before. And Camiel's fiery, unstable sister Mariete begins to nurse a growing unrequited passion for their young guest, just as Ed realizes his own attraction to Camiel. As time goes by, Ed is drawn into the domestic intrigues around him, and the farmhouse that had begun as his refuge slowly becomes his prison.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you call 600 lawyers at the bottom of the sea? Marc Galanter calls it an opportunity to investigate the meanings of a rich and time-honored genre of American humor: lawyer jokes. Lowering the Bar analyzes hundreds of jokes from Mark Twain classics to contemporary anecdotes about Dan Quayle, Johnnie Cochran, and Kenneth Starr. Drawing on representations of law and lawyers in the mass media, political discourse, and public opinion surveys, Galanter finds that the increasing reliance on law has coexisted uneasily with anxiety about the “legalization” of society. Informative and always entertaining, his book explores the tensions between Americans’ deep-seated belief in the law and their ambivalence about lawyers.

Download or read book Life is Like a Glass of Tea written by Richard Raskin and published by Quid Pro Books. This book was released on 2015-08-21 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book on Jewish humor in which individual jokes are singled out for comprehensive study, Life is Like a Glass of Tea devotes a chapter to each of eight major jokes, tracing its history and variants—and looking closely at the ways in which the comic behavior enacted in the punchline can be interpreted. One of the unique properties of classic Jewish jokes is their openness to radically different interpretive options (having nothing to do with wordplay or double entendre). This openness to alternate interpretations—never before discussed in the literature on Jewish humor—gives classic Jewish jokes their special flavor, as they leave us wondering which of several possible attitudes we are expected to hold toward the comic figure. An additional chapter is devoted to the ways in which Jewish jokes tend to evolve over time and across language and cultural barriers. Throughout the book, in fact, one can see the processes that Jewish jokes undergo over decades as their comic potential is unfolded in successive stages, and when they are transplanted from European to American soil. Now in its Second Edition, this expanded version adds two new chapters and new introductory material. It includes a 2015 Foreword by Marc Galanter, who notes that the author “is concerned not only with what makes jokes funny but with what makes some of them profound. His imaginative response to this puzzle makes this little book a distinctive and engaging contribution to the literature on Jewish jokes and on jokes generally.” It will appeal to the general reader, as well as to readers especially interested in Jewish culture, the psychology of humor, religion, ethnography, and folklore. “Richard Raskin’s book on Jewish humor was the most original and useful I found in years of research on the topic. I’m delighted to see it back in print—and with added chapters!” — Ruth Wisse Professor Emerita, Yiddish and Comparative Literature, Harvard University Author, No Joke: Making Jewish Humor (2013) “A fascinating book that explores the richness of Jewish humor. Raskin offers a thought-provoking analysis of what makes Jewish humor special. Raskin merges an understanding of Jewish culture, fresh psychological insights, and a sophisticated reading of jokes and their evolution to create a gem of a book. However, it is not just an outstanding book on Jewish humor. It is an outstanding book on humor. Period. After reading it, you won’t laugh the same way again.” — Dov Cohen Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Illinois Co-editor, Handbook of Cultural Psychology (2007)

Download or read book Speaking with Spirit written by Dr. Wanda Vassallo and published by Ambassador International. This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speaking with Spirit: A Guide for Christian Speakers was deemed “the most thorough treatment on the subject of public speaking I have ever seen” by Linus Wright, Former Under Secretary in the U.S. Department of Education. Vassallo published a former edition of this book in 1990, which was declared a “must for an excellent collection of books of this genre” by the American Library Association. Endorsements “This extraordinary piece of work is the most thorough treatment on the subject of public speaking I have ever seen. Speaking with Spirit is full of factual information organized in easily recognizable categories. I was particularly gratified to find not only a catalog of possible openings for different types of speeches but also an example of each taken from a successful presentation. When you have finished Wanda's book, you will regard speaking before an audience as something to anticipate with confidence and optimism.” —LINUS WRIGHT, Former Under Secretary, U.S. Department of Education, and Dallas Schools Superintendent “At last! A public speaking book written especially for Christian speakers. Wanda's book will serve as a trusted guide for the novice speaker as well as a valuable reference for the experienced speaker cast onto unfamiliar turf, such as appearing on television for the first time. Her examples of different genres of speeches, tailor-made for Christian audiences, provide a treasure trove of proven material.” —MAMIE MCCULLOUGH, Motivational Speaker and Author “I am so pleased that Wanda has written another book on speaking. Her previous book on the subject proved to be very popular at our conferences. We sold several hundred copies. Wanda has spoken at our conferences over the years and has always been a favorite among our people. I know this book will be well received. I am eager to begin offering it to our conference attendees.” —REG A. FORDER, Director of American Christian Writers “This book by Wanda Vassallo will be much appreciated and used by pastors and leaders in Christian churches, as well as by speakers in other contexts. Having served as a pastor for 28 years, as well as being a theological educator and a denominational executive, I am called on to speak in a variety of settings. Based on my experiences, I know that Wanda's book will be a priceless resource for the Christian leader. I recommend it without reservation.” —REV. RONALD E. VALLET, D. Min., Author, Adjunct Professor, McMaster Divinity College; Pastor, Fredonia Baptist Church, Fredonia, N.Y.; Minister for Stewardship and Mission Support, American Baptist Churches of New York “I taught Communications in a Christian University for many years and often used Jesus Christ as an example of the greatest of the communicators. Naturally, I directed my students to scriptures that verified that fact, but I never had a complete scriptural reference to Christ's sermons, teachings, speeches, and arguments. Now, Wanda Vassallo has included in her first-rate public speaking textbook, a chapter on “Jesus as a Speaker—Our Example!” This is a true blessing for the Christian speech teacher. It's all there in Dr. Vassallo's book—all the scripture references, the interpretations of those scriptures, and the speech “techniques” of Christ! It's all there in a textbook that goes on to tell the student and the teacher how best to present oneself before an audience. It's all there in one volume—a complete course in public speaking. A text like this with Jesus as the master speaker has long been needed. Now, it's available. Our prayers have been answered. Thank you, Dr. Wanda Vassallo!” —DR.

Download or read book The Knockoff Economy written by Kal Raustiala and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-15 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the shopping mall to the corner bistro, knockoffs are everywhere in today's marketplace. Conventional wisdom holds that copying kills creativity, and that laws that protect against copies are essential to innovation--and economic success. But are copyrights and patents always necessary? In The Knockoff Economy, Kal Raustiala and Christopher Sprigman provocatively argue that creativity can not only survive in the face of copying, but can thrive. The Knockoff Economy approaches the question of incentives and innovation in a wholly new way--by exploring creative fields where copying is generally legal, such as fashion, food, and even professional football. By uncovering these important but rarely studied industries, Raustiala and Sprigman reveal a nuanced and fascinating relationship between imitation and innovation. In some creative fields, copying is kept in check through informal industry norms enforced by private sanctions. In others, the freedom to copy actually promotes creativity. High fashion gave rise to the very term "knockoff," yet the freedom to imitate great designs only makes the fashion cycle run faster--and forces the fashion industry to be even more creative. Raustiala and Sprigman carry their analysis from food to font design to football plays to finance, examining how and why each of these vibrant industries remains innovative even when imitation is common. There is an important thread that ties all these instances together--successful creative industries can evolve to the point where they become inoculated against--and even profit from--a world of free and easy copying. And there are important lessons here for copyright-focused industries, like music and film, that have struggled as digital technologies have made copying increasingly widespread and difficult to stop. Raustiala and Sprigman's arguments have been making headlines in The New Yorker, the New York Times, the Financial Times, the Boston Globe, Le Monde, and at the Freakonomics blog, where they are regular contributors. By looking where few had looked before--at markets that fall outside normal IP law--The Knockoff Economy opens up fascinating creative worlds. And it demonstrates that not only is a great deal of innovation possible without intellectual property, but that intellectual property's absence is sometimes better for innovation.
