Book excerpt: Outsider. Workingclass. Neuroatypical. Nonbinary. No Poster Boy. Elliott DeLine is an award-winning author of Refuse, I Know Very Well How I Got My Name, and Show Trans. His dynamic fiction and memoir writing has been informed by his experiences as a young transgender man contending with discrimination, poverty, mental illness, trauma and sexual identity. No Poster Boy is a collection of his most accessible, intimate, and daring essays on the subject of an underrepresented population: transgender men who are attracted to men. His humorous and sobering writing is eye-opening to outsiders and validating to those who share his experiences. Speaking from a place outside academia, outside metropolitan queer life, and challenging to mainstream puff-trans-politics, "Elliott DeLine is of the most searingly honest voices in this exciting generation of young trans writers." (Roger Hallas, former director of LGBT Studies at Syracuse University)

Book excerpt: When you’re sneaking around the city at night you feel like a kid again. The seriousness of the world is unmasked as a series of facades, dead objects just waiting to be painted. I was immediately hooked. Out on the street I could say anything I wanted. So what did I want to say? Peter Drew’s posters are a familiar sight across Australia – his ‘Real Australians Say Welcome’ and ‘Aussie’ campaigns took on lives of their own, attaining cult status and starting conversations all over the country. But who made them, and why? In this irresistible and unexpected memoir, Peter Drew searches for the answers to these questions. He traces the links between his creative and personal lives, and discovers surprising parallels between Australia’s dark, unacknowledged past and the unspoken conflict at the core of his own family. Packed full of Peter Drew’s memorable images, Poster Boy is an intelligent, funny and brutally honest dive into the stew of individual, family and national identity. It’s about politics and art, and why we need them both. And it’s about making a mark. ‘Peter Drew’s work changes how we see our streets and country, as well as activism and art. Be warned: This galvanising book might propel you to start a movement yourself.’ —Benjamin Law 'An unflinching look at modern Australia, Poster Boy is a tale literally told from the streets. It is a stark story where the villains blend in with those devoted to pushing for change. This book floored me.' —Osher Günsberg ‘To read Poster Boy is to experience the life-enriching idea that one person can make real change. Then wait for the minute, the day, the week, when the afterglow of his story works its magic on your own simple deeds. From little things, big things truly grow.’ —Megan Morton ‘An insightful look into the life and mind of one of Australia's most progressive and forthright artists of our generation.’ —Nick Mitzevich, director of the National Gallery of Australia

Book excerpt: How do we teach our young men to be godly men? Lynn Sheldon wrote this devotional study to help mentors, fathers, and youth leaders train young men to become faithful, courageous, spiritual warriors for Christ. What have others said about this book: "I didn't know what it meant to be a Christian man." "It's changed me so much, my parents don't recognize me." "What we've learned, we're teaching others and they're teaching others what we've taught them." A woman writes, "Every man in my church needs to read this." In a world that wants to feminize our young men, Lynn Sheldon is out to help ignite a passion for Christ in the hearts and minds of young men. Men, who have read this book, write how they never knew what it meat to be a godly man. In addition, they felt very challenged by the question, "Are You MAN Enough?" In 1995, Lynn Sheldon was called by God to teach others how to be free in Christ. He's always had a heart to train young men to be Christ-like in their walk with God. Serving as President and Founder of GodFire Revival and Discipleship Outreach, Lynn's first book, Crucified with Him, teaches believers how to walk in the liberty of our Lord Jesus. Lynn is currently assisting in curriculum development to train International pastors and missionaries. GodFire Revival and Discipleship Outreach Box 773 Clinton, MS 39060 Web: godfire.org

Book excerpt: It's all fun and games until someone puts his heart out. After being outed to his hockey team and then changing schools, Jock figures he's due for something good — like the sex he missed out on in the closet. Toby, the hot grad student he meets at a frat party, seems like a great place to start, and their night together is an awesome introduction to the fine art of hooking up. Toby's heart takes a bruising after the near-perfect experience with Jock leads to...nothing. He's been left on the outside as his friends pair up into blissful coupledom, and he's in danger of never completing (or starting) his thesis. Can't something go right? Then Toby's coerced into chaperoning a Theta Alpha Gamma trip to France. Not that he's complaining. What better place to finish his thesis and get over that frat boy? Except Jock's outing is leaked to the press, turning him into an unwilling gay rights martyr, and he decides France would be a great escape, too. It's a break from reality for both guys, but they soon find their connection is as real as it gets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have witnessed a resurgence of scholarly interest in the work of Johann Georg Hamann (1730–1788), across disciplines. New translations of work by and about Hamann are appearing, as are a number of books and articles on Hamann’s aesthetics, theories of language and sexuality, and unique place in Enlightenment and counter-Enlightenment thought. Edited by Lisa Marie Anderson, Hamann and the Tradition gathers established and emerging scholars to examine the full range of Hamann’s impact—be it on German Romanticism or on the very practice of theology. Of particular interest to those not familiar with Hamann will be a chapter devoted to examining—or in some cases, placing—Hamann in dialogue with other important thinkers, such as Socrates, David Hume, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Buber, Franz Rosenzweig, and Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Book excerpt: Today, it is too easy to amass a fortune at others' expense, and there are no comebacks. In a world where people serve ideas and causes because they care, the very same people are exploited for their apparent weakness, a gross lack of respect. Values of honour and rights have been lost or tarnished, voices drowned by the noise of money. Somewhere, it has been decided that the world has lost its moral compass, and the time has come to provide the stimulus to create a new direction, and a fresh level of responsibility to others. Watch out .... You don't know us. But we know you..... We harness global communications systems to watch closely when values of honour and rights have been lost or tarnished, voices drowned by the noise of money. And we use the cyberpower at our fingertips to take swift and slick action. With or without your approval. Take care. We have the resources to implement a new religion of Respect. Piece by piece the puzzle builds up to an uncomfortable awakening. Someone out there is taking steps to dispense with the people exploiting others and showing lack of respect for the society they live in. If you are on the List, be prepared to listen to the Message, or take the consequences. This work speaks of a new and different age, drawing on the power of science and technology to prompt ethical change. Where those don't address their own moral shortfalls, there are other people whose role it is to step in with a message, and the results can be terminal...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calling on a decade of participant observation at a residence for mentally retarded adults, anthropologist Michael V. Angrosino's riveting and de-mystifying account offers an insider's picture of the lives of the inhabitants of Opportunity House. Using the narrative device of a dozen fictional short stories told in the voices of various community members as well as that of the researcher, Angrosino weaves a life-histories approach to ethnography together with an innovative culture concept to tackle the complexities of representing marginalized subgroups. As opposed to traditional clinical or statistical studies, which have insufficiently conveyed the subjective and experiential perspectives of retarded people themselves, Angrosino presents an intimate and complex picture of a highly functioning community with its cast of entrepreneurs, bullies, victims, and do-gooders. This wonderfully readable and captivating account is therefore an important resource for those interested in mental illness and disability, as well as a model for those experimenting with forms of ethnographic writing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A funny, marvelously readable portrait of one of the most brilliant and eccentric men in history." --The Seattle Times Paul Erdos was an amazing and prolific mathematician whose life as a world-wandering numerical nomad was legendary. He published almost 1500 scholarly papers before his death in 1996, and he probably thought more about math problems than anyone in history. Like a traveling salesman offering his thoughts as wares, Erdos would show up on the doorstep of one mathematician or another and announce, "My brain is open." After working through a problem, he'd move on to the next place, the next solution. Hoffman's book, like Sylvia Nasar's biography of John Nash, A Beautiful Mind, reveals a genius's life that transcended the merely quirky. But Erdos's brand of madness was joyful, unlike Nash's despairing schizophrenia. Erdos never tried to dilute his obsessive passion for numbers with ordinary emotional interactions, thus avoiding hurting the people around him, as Nash did. Oliver Sacks writes of Erdos: "A mathematical genius of the first order, Paul Erdos was totally obsessed with his subject--he thought and wrote mathematics for nineteen hours a day until the day he died. He traveled constantly, living out of a plastic bag, and had no interest in food, sex, companionship, art--all that is usually indispensable to a human life." The Man Who Loved Only Numbers is easy to love, despite his strangeness. It's hard not to have affection for someone who referred to children as "epsilons," from the Greek letter used to represent small quantities in mathematics; a man whose epitaph for himself read, "Finally I am becoming stupider no more"; and whose only really necessary tool to do his work was a quiet and open mind. Hoffman, who followed and spoke with Erdos over the last 10 years of his life, introduces us to an undeniably odd, yet pure and joyful, man who loved numbers more than he loved God--whom he referred to as SF, for Supreme Fascist. He was often misunderstood, and he certainly annoyed people sometimes, but Paul Erdos is no doubt missed. --Therese Littleton

Book excerpt: Timor-Leste has made impressive progress since its historic achievement of independence in 2002. From the instability that blighted its early years, the fledgling democratic country has achieved strong economic growth and a gradual reinstatement of essential social services. A decade on in 2012, Presidential and Parliamentary elections produced smooth political transitions and the extended UN peacekeeping presence in the country came to an end. But significant challenges remain. This book, a product of the inaugural Timor-Leste Update held at The Australian National University in 2013 to mark the end of Timor-Leste’s first decade as a new nation, brings together a vibrant collection of papers from leading and emerging scholars and policy analysts. Collectively, the chapters provide a set of critical reflections on recent political, economic and social developments in Timor-Leste. The volume also looks to the future, highlighting a range of transitions, prospects and undoubted challenges facing the nation over the next 5–10 years. Key themes that inform the collection include nation-building in the shadow of history, trends in economic development, stability and social cohesion, and citizenship, democracy and social inclusion. The book is an indispensable guide to contemporary Timor-Leste.

Drawing on anthropology, political studies, international relations, development studies, law, and defence and security studies, it provides a multi-&faceted view of one military organisation, and helps further our understanding of the character and the challenges of military personnel and institutions in the twenty-first century.

Book excerpt: Sixteen-year-old Gray Fallon's life is looking pretty good. His easygoing parents -- a university science professor and silkscreen artist -- are happy for him to entertain his friends in his suburban basement. A part-time job at the Cineplex, the occasional beer or joint, a smart, funny best friend, a hot new girlfriend -- things couldn't really be any better. Then Gray's twelve-year-old science nerd sister, Maggie, is diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Gray learns that the cancer may have environmental causes and sets out to uncover the cause and make Maggie better. His research reveals that silkscreen chemicals may be responsible for Maggie's illness. His mother's subsequent breakdown and father's anger finally drive him to quit school and seek haven at an organic farm. However, there is no escaping the reality of Maggie's illness, and the climax, written with wisdom, compassion and a complete lack of easy sentimentality, is a tour de force.
