Book Synopsis A Lion Tamer Dies by : Reggie Thornburg
Download or read book A Lion Tamer Dies written by Reggie Thornburg and published by Hillcrest Publishing Group. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When on stage, rock musician Johnny Rando's life and actions are predictable, comfortable, and meaningful. But when the lights go out, John (the real John) is left in the darkness feeling confused, empty, even hollow . . . alone. Lion tamer Andrew Poitiers mirrors this lifestyle of dichotomies. The lights and glamour and prestige he feels when in the circus ring fuel his very being and energize his soul. But when he leaves the ring, the shroud of the lights is removed and he is left with the realization that his actions in the ring were outside of himself, not in line with his own morals. Or is his behavior in the ring his true nature? In this, his debut story, Reggie Thornburg unfolds two rich tales filled with love, passion, the search for self-worth, drama, nightclubs and circus rings, and the excitement of entertainment life. In so doing, Thornburg explores the meaning of reality through life on stage and off, specifically those moments in life when everything begins to blur.

Book excerpt: Take The Chump Challenge True Or False: 1. Treating a girl you like to a dinner date is a great idea. 2. Slipping sexual innuendo into a conversation with a girl you hardly know is a bad idea. 3. Talking to the prettier of two girls is a good idea. If you answered false to all three questions, you just might be a PUA (pickup artist.) Otherwise, you are an AFC (average frustrated chump.) If you think that's crazy, consider this: these dynamics have been confirmed hundreds of times by hundreds of men.

Armed with the wisdom collected in The Layguide, you will never again waste money on go-nowhere dates. You will never again hesitate to approach a beautiful woman. You will no longer fear rejection. You will never be a supplicating chump just because a woman is attractive. You WILL be an unapologetically sexual male with poise, power, and the skills to have any woman you desire. Tony Clink is the webmaster of www.layguide.com, and one of the most successful pick-up artists in the world.

Download or read book The Thrill Makers written by Jacob Smith and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Starring human flies, daredevil aviators, bridge jumpers, and lion tamers, The Thrill Makers is a great read, as evocative as it is theoretically savvy, and convincingly argued. Culling telling details from a host of long-overlooked sources, Jacob Smith’s account of sensational, high-risk public performance from the Victorian age to the 1930s unearths and illuminates the interwoven histories of public spectacle, masculinity, the motion picture industry, new forms of celebrity, and the expanding American metropolis.”—Greg Waller, Department of Communication and Culture, Indiana University. “The Thrill Makers is an historical tour-de-force that illuminates the origins of risk-taking performance in American entertainment, and shows how its practitioners were gradually marginalized as invisible stunt doubles during the rise of the motion picture industry. Smith’s analysis of the lion tamer, the human fly, and the airplane wing-walker—as well as the many others who thrilled audiences before and during the advent of cinema—inspires us to reconsider the nature of media spectacle, masculinity, performance, celebrity, and labor at the turn of the last century. Impeccably researched, this book is a captivating read that re-frames the emergence of cinema in the context of its relationship to other forms of modern entertainment.”—Barbara Klinger, author of Beyond the Multiplex: Cinema, New Technologies, and the Home.

Book Synopsis Understanding and Teaching Reading Comprehension by : Jane Oakhill
Download or read book Understanding and Teaching Reading Comprehension written by Jane Oakhill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate aim of reading is not the process but to understand what we read and comprehension can take place at many different levels. There has been an increasing emphasis on the importance of reading comprehension in recent years but despite this there is very little written on this vital topic accessible to trainee and practicing teachers. The Handbook of Reading Comprehension presents an overview of recent findings on reading comprehension and comprehension problems in children. It provides a detailed examination of the characteristics of children who have reading comprehension difficulties, and examines ways in which comprehension can be supported and improved. It is accessibly written for students and professionals with no previous background in the psychology of reading or reading problems. This indispensable handbook asks the question ‘what is comprehension?’ The authors consider comprehension of different units of language: understanding single words, sentences, and connected prose and outline what readers (and listeners) have to do to successfully understand an extended text. This book also considers comprehension for different purposes, in particular reading for pleasure and reading to learn and explores how reader characteristics such as interest and motivation can influence the comprehension process. Different skills contribute to successful reading comprehension. These include word reading ability, vocabulary knowledge, syntactic skills, memory, and discourse level skills such as the ability to make inferences, knowledge about text structure, and metacognitive skills. The authors discuss how each one contributes to the development of reading comprehension skill and how the development of these skills (or their precursors) in pre-readers, provides the foundation for reading comprehension development. Areas covered include:- Word reading and comprehension Development of comprehension skills Comprehension difficulties Assessment Teaching for improvement Throughout the text successful experimental and classroom based interventions will be highlighted, practical tips for teachers and summary boxes detailing key points and explaining technical terms will be included in each chapter
Book Synopsis The Dark Side of Statius' Achilleid by : Julene Abad Del Vecchio
Download or read book The Dark Side of Statius' Achilleid written by Julene Abad Del Vecchio and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-25 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dark Side of Statius' Achilleid explores systematically and for the first time the darker aspects of Statius' Achilleid, bringing to light the poem's tragic and epic dimensions. By seeking to position at centre-stage these darker elements, the book offers several new readings of the Achilleid in relation to its literary inheritance, its gender dynamics, and its generic tensions. This volume delves beneath the surface of a story that ostensibly deals with a light subject matter—the cross-dressing of a young Achilles on Scyros—to offer an in-depth examination of the poem's relationship to its epic and tragic precursors, and to explore its more serious themes. It is shown to challenge traditional epic narratives, examine Achilles' complex familial relationships and his deviant and transgressive heroism, highlight the tragic character of Thetis, and provide glimpses of the horrors that the cataclysmic Trojan War will beget. By looking into Statius' wide-ranging dialogue with his literary predecessors, such as Homer, Sophocles, Virgil, Ovid, Lucan, and Seneca, as well as Statius' previous epic magnum opus, the Thebaid, the multidimensional characterisations of Achilles and other of the poem's key characters, such as Ulysses, Calchas, and Thetis are investigated. Far from simply representing a shameful but essentially humorous cross-dressing episode in Achilles' life that is destined to be forgotten, the Achilleid can be seen to challenge the very fabric of epic by probing the validity and authority of its literary tradition, as well as highlighting its highly innovative and experimental nature.

Book Synopsis Qualitative Research in the Post-Modern Era by : Karyn Cooper
Download or read book Qualitative Research in the Post-Modern Era written by Karyn Cooper and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-17 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Qualitative Research is changing as a result of postmodern influences which have changed the way research is interpreted and understood. This has prompted questions which have been knocking at the door of qualitative research for some time now: Who is the researcher in this research account? How does the researcher relate to his/her research? How can the researcher who reads qualitative research relate to and understand the nuances and complexities in qualitative research? How can this volume help us to, not only describe, effect and manage change, but help us to understand, imagine and affect policies, practices and procedures related to research? What can we learn from researchers at the top of their stride who have struggled in order to develop qualitative research? The book includes illustrative interviews with world famous scholars. William Pinar, Norman Denzin, Henry Giroux, Zygmunt Bauman and Maxine Greene invite the student to engage reflectively and to figure out the rudiments and connections of research methodology and methods for theses. The developed so called “The Five Contexts” serves as a theoretical framework for conducting, understanding and interpreting qualitative research in a variety of disciplines in this post-modern era .

Download or read book Brainiac written by Ken Jennings and published by Villard. This book was released on 2007-10-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A witty, charming, and engaging dive into trivia’s colorful history, from America’s highest-earning game show contestant of all time “Insightful, informative, and written with a strong dose of humor and humility. . . . I loved this book.”—Will Shortz, crossword editor, The New York Times Ken Jennings is trivia’s undisputed king—and as he traces his rise from anonymous computer programmer to nerd folk icon, he explores his newly conquered kingdom: the world of trivia itself. Trivia, he has found, is centuries older than his childhood obsession with it. Whisking us from the coffeehouses of seventeenth-century London to the Internet age, Jennings chronicles the ups and downs of the trivia fad: the quiz book explosion of the Jazz Age; the rise, fall, and rise again of TV quiz shows; the nostalgic campus trivia of the 1960s; and the 1980s, when Trivial Pursuit® again made it fashionable to be a know-it-all. Jennings also investigates the shadowy demimonde of today’s trivia subculture, guiding us on a tour of trivia across America. He goes head-to-head with the blowhards and diehards of the college quiz-bowl circuit, the slightly soused faithful of the Boston pub trivia scene, and the raucous participants in the annual Q&A marathon in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, “The World’s Largest Trivia Contest.” And, of course, he takes us behind the scenes of his improbable 75-game run on Jeopardy! But above all, Brainiac is a love letter to the useless fact. (Who knew that there’s a crater on Venus named after Laura Ingalls Wilder? Ken Jennings, that’s who.) Engaging and erudite, Brainiac is an irresistible celebration of nostalgia, curiosity, and geeky obsession—in a word, trivia.
