For the characters in MAN'S COMPANIONS, the self is a degraded version of someone else. Fantasy is stymied by performance anxiety. Delayed gratification phones in a last-minute cancellation. The fictions in this collection are mongrel, troubling the genus of story with miscegenations and mutations, and at the heart of the book is the figure of the anima non grata, the unwanted woman, a degraded version of man. Using language by turns digressive, obsessive, overblown, romantic, fickle, and mundane, MAN'S COMPANIONS manipulates feminine tropes and finds a kind of joyous liberty in its proliferation of thwarted affairs and awkward interludes.

Book Synopsis The Best of Men by : Claire Letemendia
Download or read book The Best of Men written by Claire Letemendia and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fast-paced, rousing ride through treason, prophecy, and passion in 17th-century England: a must for lovers of historical novels that sweep from the bedroom to the battlefield and the royal court. Includes an excerpt from the second thrilling Laurence Beaumont novel, The Licence of War. It is 1642, and Laurence Beaumont has returned to England after six years in the European Wars; he has seen and done things he can't bear to remember, and he no longer has faith in God, or much in humankind itself. When clashes between King Charles I and his mutinous Parliament throw England into a civil war, Beaumont is reluctantly drawn back into a world of intrigue when he discovers coded letters outlining a plot to assassinate the king. Soon powerful conspirators are in hot pursuit, and Laurence must find proof of their identities before they overtake him. The seductive Isabella Savage wants to help, but she may only lead him deeper into the conspiracy. Intricately plotted, bawdy, and full of vivid character and detail, The Best of Men is thoroughly satisfying, and only the beginning of the adventures of Laurence Beaumont.

Book Synopsis Our Oldest Companions by : Pat Shipman
Download or read book Our Oldest Companions written by Pat Shipman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the dog become manÕs best friend? A celebrated anthropologist unearths the mysterious origins of the unique partnership that rewrote the history of both species. Dogs and humans have been inseparable for more than 40,000 years. The relationship has proved to be a pivotal development in our evolutionary history. The same is also true for our canine friends; our connection with them has had much to do with their essential nature and survival. How and why did humans and dogs find their futures together, and how have these close companions (literally) shaped each other? Award-winning anthropologist Pat Shipman finds answers in prehistory and the present day. In Our Oldest Companions, Shipman untangles the genetic and archaeological evidence of the first dogs. She follows the trail of the wolf-dog, neither prehistoric wolf nor modern dog, whose bones offer tantalizing clues about the earliest stages of domestication. She considers the enigma of the dingo, not quite domesticated yet not entirely wild, who has lived intimately with humans for thousands of years while actively resisting control or training. Shipman tells how scientists are shedding new light on the origins of the unique relationship between our two species, revealing how deep bonds formed between humans and canines as our guardians, playmates, shepherds, and hunters. Along the journey together, dogs have changed physically, behaviorally, and emotionally, as humans too have been transformed. DogsÕ labor dramatically expanded the range of human capability, altering our diets and habitats and contributing to our very survival. Shipman proves that we cannot understand our own history as a species without recognizing the central role that dogs have played in it.

Download or read book Men′s Friendships written by Peter M. Nardi and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1992-02-26 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current and much-needed, this book offers an analysis of the social forces which shape the way friendship is organized. Through varying perspectives, contributors show that a variation exists within--as well as between--the genders. They focus on diversity in men′s friendships, and how men develop and maintain friendships with other men and women. Part I focuses on philosophical and historical questions; Part II illustrates the strong connection between social structure and men′s friendships; and the final chapters consider cultural diversity. Men′s Friendships reorganizes existing knowledge and introduces fresh perspectives within the framework of men′s studies. This volume is sure to stimulate debate, raise questions, and offer suggestions for future research. "A very interesting collection, particularly those on black men′s relationships--where the author compares working class and middle class black American men′s relationships--a history of friendship and the changing nature of men′s intimacy and power, and intimacy and sexuality in male athletes′ friendships." --Working with Men "Theory and research on men′s studies are alive and well, and Peter Nardi′s edited book, Men′s Friendships, is a significant contribution to this literature.

Book excerpt: A reluctant prophet to an apathetic people. A horrific prophecy of demons intent on destruction. Will they listen in time to save their world or will they kill the heretic instead? Rehaak’s research has uncovered a demonic plot to enslave his people, the Abrhaani. His knowledge earns him death threats from a shadowy group of fanatics. It also gets him exiled to the wilderness. Rehaak needs evidence from an ancient document. With it, he can restore his honor and convince people of the demonic threat. Without it, the Nethera will turn Aarda into a living hell. While living in exile, Rehaak meets Isil, an old Abrhaani woman. She has proof of the manuscript’s existence, but not its location. After he survives an attack at his new home, he renounces his quest, to escape the fanatic’s wrath. He still has a problem. He can’t escape his conscience. Troubled by his dreams, he awakens to find a young Eniila near death outside his hut. Laakea, a teenaged Enilla warrior, is fleeing his abusive father. The boy needs a place to hide, and Rehaak needs help. The young fighter could protect Rehaak from the assassins, but endless wars between their peoples have caused generations of hatred. With Isil’s help, he must overcome racial prejudice and mistrust before the trio of outcasts can join forces to defeat a world-wide centuries-old conspiracy. Their goal thrusts them into conflict with corrupt leaders and deadly enemies.

Book Synopsis Conquered Conquerors by : Danilo Verde
Download or read book Conquered Conquerors written by Danilo Verde and published by SBL Press. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive study of the Song of Songs' use of military metaphors Although love transcends historical and cultural boundaries, its conceptualizations, linguistic expressions, and literary representations vary from culture to culture. In this study, Danilo Verde examines love through the military imagery found throughout the Song’s eight chapters. Verde approaches the military metaphors, similes, and scenes of the Song using cognitive metaphor theory to explore the overlooked representation of love as war. Additionally, this book investigates how the Song conceptualizes both the male and the female characters, showing that the concepts of masculinity and femininity are tightly interconnected in the poem. Conquered Conquerors provides fresh insights into the Song's figurative language and the conceptualization of gender in biblical literature.

Book Synopsis Women’s Sexual Experience by : Martha Kirkpatrick
Download or read book Women’s Sexual Experience written by Martha Kirkpatrick and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, like its companion volume, Women's Sexual Development, is a potpourri of ideas, not campaign literature to promote a particular point of view. The editor agrees with some of her authors and strongly disagrees with others. The "facts" are few, the questions many. The intent of both books is to evoke questions, delay convictions, invite controversy, and plead for opening minds. The examination and ex planation of women's sexual experience has long been the province of men. The "is" and the "oughts" have been hopelessly confused by the investigators' (or exhorters') biases and limited experience, as well as by the use of the male sexual experience as the model for all human sexual experience. Women, at long last, are talking not only to each other, in personal journals and letters, but also in the more formal worlds of academic and scientific publications. The papers in this book come from many sources. Some are aca demic; some are experiential, journalistic, or personal. Several empha size the lack of adequate research and data but address an issue that is just appearing on the surface of contemporary controversy and con cern. Many topics and sources of information are missing.
Download or read book The Coffee Trader written by David Liss and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2003-03-04 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Edgar Award–winning novel A Conspiracy of Paper was one of the most acclaimed debuts of the year. In his richly suspenseful second novel, author David Liss once again travels back in time to a crucial moment in cultural and financial history. His destination: Amsterdam, 1659—a mysterious world of trade populated by schemers and rogues, where deception rules the day. On the world’s first commodities exchange, fortunes are won and lost in an instant. Miguel Lienzo, a sharp-witted trader in the city’s close-knit community of Portuguese Jews, knows this only too well. Once among the city’s most envied merchants, Miguel has lost everything in a sudden shift in the sugar markets. Now, impoverished and humiliated, living on the charity of his petty younger brother, Miguel must find a way to restore his wealth and reputation. Miguel enters into a partnership with a seduc-tive Dutchwoman who offers him one last chance at success—a daring plot to corner the market of an astonishing new commodity called “coffee.” To succeed, Miguel must risk everything he values and test the limits of his commercial guile, facing not only the chaos of the markets and the greed of his competitors, but also a powerful enemy who will stop at nothing to see him ruined. Miguel will learn that among Amsterdam’s ruthless businessmen, betrayal lurks everywhere, and even friends hide secret agendas. With humor, imagination, and mystery, David Liss depicts a world of subterfuge, danger, and repressed longing, where religious and cultural traditions clash with the demands of a new and exciting way of doing business. Readers of historical suspense and lovers of coffee (even decaf) will be up all night with this beguiling novel.
