Book Synopsis The Compulsive Gambler by : Eli Schleifer
Download or read book The Compulsive Gambler written by Eli Schleifer and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gambling Fever could have been subtitled The Man Who Must. That is an apt description of the compulsive gambler whose very existence demands that he must wager in excess . To the compulsive gambler the act of wagering takes priority over eating, drinking, personal relationships, sexual activity , earning a living, supporting a family or looking after his own health problems. Compulsive gambling is the obsession of all obsessions. A person (man or woman) will lie, cheat, steal and embezzle in order to feed his habit. Nothing will deter him. As more and more states expand legalization of all forms of gambling to raise much- needed revenue and create hard-to-find jobs the problem is increasing by leaps and bounds. The book concludes that few resources are devoted to dealing with this issue and raises the question of whether any treatment can cure the obsession. Gambling Fever traces the history of gambling, quotes numerous references throughout history by famous writers such as Shakespeare and Dostoevsky, psychologists such as Sigmund Freud, statesmen, conquerors, clergymen, entertainers and others who have either struggled with gambling or analyzed the gambler. Finally, the book also serves as an insight into Eli Schleifer, the man who struggled his entire life with his demonsthose of the compulsive gambler.

Book Synopsis Goliath: the Giant of Palestine by : Lawrence F. Holt
Download or read book Goliath: the Giant of Palestine written by Lawrence F. Holt and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2016-01-04 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uglier than Hugo’s Hunchback; more terrifying then Shelly’s Frankenstein and yet more affable then Steinbeck’s Lenny Small is Goliath: the Giant of Palestine. Not the renowned Old Testament villain but a child unwittingly manipulated into the rogue Goliath. While stopping short of suggesting another slinger on a grassy knoll is an intriguing skeptical dissecting of I Samuel’s telling of history’s most famous one-on-one battle. How and why the ancestors of present day Palestinians and Israelis came to struggle for the same land sheds new light on the argument of “Just whose land is it anyway?” Goliath, a seven-year-old boy trapped in the body of a fierce giant, endures many fantastic adventures at the hands of history’s greatest mariners, the Phoenician and ushered throughout the Mediterranean as pirate and circus attraction. The storyline returns to his homeland where his people continually clash with the Tribes of Israel. Initial terrorism, conspiracy, assassination and all-out war of this first Middle East conflict are accurately depicted and fueled by current headlines. Presented also is a tender love story of the granddaughter of the eminent biblical Ruth and a displaced Philistine. After all the necessary covenants are fulfilled a marriage takes place. Ten years of research based on historical evidence, biblical events and well-worn theories depicts the cultural, religious and technological differences of the two peoples.
Download or read book Carnival in China written by Daria Berg and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-08-04 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As if under the satirical magnifying glass, the Xingshi Yinyuan Zhuan, an anonymous traditional Chinese novel, portrays local society and provincial life in seventeenth-century China in comic and grotesque close-up. A dystopian satire, the novel provides fascinating insights into the popular culture and wild imagination of men and women in late imperial China. Using an array of sources—fiction, poetry, texts on medical ethics, religious thought, political and philosophical treatises, morality books and local gazetteers—Carnival in China develops a style of reading that explores how seventeenth-century Chinese citizens perceived their world. Through their eyes, we gain access to their desires, dreams, fears and nightmares.

Book Synopsis Rhetorics of Display by : Lawrence J. Prelli
Download or read book Rhetorics of Display written by Lawrence J. Prelli and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2021-12-24 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Groundbreaking case studies mapping the rhetoric inherent in acts of presentation and concealment Rhetorics of Display is a pathbreaking volume that brings together a distinguished group of scholars to assess an increasingly pervasive form of rhetorical activity. Editor Lawrence J. Prelli notes in his introduction that twenty-first century citizens continually confront displays of information and images, from the verbal images of speeches and literature to visual images of film and photography to exhibits in museums to the arrangement of our homes to the merchandising of consumer goods. The volume provides an integrated, comprehensive study of the processes of selecting what to reveal and what to conceal that together constitute the rhetorics of display. Surveying major historical transformations in the relationship between rhetoric and display, this book also identifies the leading themes in relevant scholarship of the past three decades. Seventeen case studies canvass a representative and diverse range of displays—from body piercing to a civil rights memorial to a Titanic exhibition to imagery found in gambling casinos—and examine the ways that phenomena, persons, places, events, identities, communities, and cultures are exhibited before audiences. Collectively the contributors shed light on rhetorics that are nearly ubiquitous in contemporary communication and culture.
