Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholar Leeming offers the first comprehensive narrative study of the mythology of the Middle East, that tumultuous region that was the cradle of civilization. Leeming begins with a brief history, followed by an in-depth discussion of the mythology of the region, ranging from prehistoric figures such as the mother goddess of Catal Huyuk to Mesopotamian gods such as Marduk and mythic heroes such as Gilgamesh, to the pantheon of Egyptian mythology. He also explores the mythology of the three great monotheistic religions of the region: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In a provocative epilogue, Leeming notes that fundamentalists in the area's three religions today all see their way as the only way, forgetting that myths represent truths that are spiritual and philosophical, not historical events that can be used to justify acts of violence.--From publisher description.

Download or read book Already Toast written by Kate Washington and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of one woman’s struggle to care for her seriously ill husband—and a revealing look at the role unpaid family caregivers play in a society that fails to provide them with structural support. Already Toast shows how all-consuming caregiving can be, how difficult it is to find support, and how the social and literary narratives that have long locked women into providing emotional labor also keep them in unpaid caregiving roles. When Kate Washington and her husband, Brad, learned that he had cancer, they were a young couple: professionals with ascending careers, parents to two small children. Brad’s diagnosis stripped those identities away: he became a patient and she his caregiver. Brad’s cancer quickly turned aggressive, necessitating a stem-cell transplant that triggered a massive infection, robbing him of his eyesight and nearly of his life. Kate acted as his full-time aide to keep him alive, coordinating his treatments, making doctors’ appointments, calling insurance companies, filling dozens of prescriptions, cleaning commodes, administering IV drugs. She became so burned out that, when she took an online quiz on caregiver self-care, her result cheerily declared: “You’re already toast!” Through it all, she felt profoundly alone, but, as she later learned, she was in fact one of millions: an invisible army of family caregivers working every day in America, their unpaid labor keeping our troubled healthcare system afloat. Because our culture both romanticizes and erases the realities of care work, few caregivers have shared their stories publicly. As the baby-boom generation ages, the number of family caregivers will continue to grow. Readable, relatable, timely, and often raw, Already Toast—with its clear call for paying and supporting family caregivers—is a crucial intervention in that conversation, bringing together personal experience with deep research to give voice to those tasked with the overlooked, vital work of caring for the seriously ill.

In exchange for her loyalty and devotion, the King of the Titans will spare humanity and let Kate keep her child. Yet even if Kate agrees, he'll destroy Henry, her mother and the rest of council.

Download or read book The Art of Populism in US Politics written by Justin Patch and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-26 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of Populism in US Politics investigates connections between populist politics and artistic expressions in the United States in the Trump era. Beginning with comparisons between frontier populism and millennial-era populism, the author examines how citizens imitate and improvise on political sentiments, global histories, images, and discourses to create their own senses of community, identity, belonging, and exclusion. Political art, narratives, opinions, polemics, and abstract artistic expressions are shared instantly, creating new political and affective communities that challenge the power and stability of previous institutions and ideologies. These modes of digital sharing create communities of practice, groups who come together through shared creation and consumption, whether it be memes and vlogs, homemade signs and T-shirts, music videos, or political dialogues. The book analyzes the physical and digital art practices that support the growth and proliferation of populist politics and the fractious communities in America that support it. With modular chapters providing in-depth case studies within the larger context of populism, this book provides alternate methodologies for working through key issues of politics, production, distribution, globalization, and political economy, particularly because of the ways in which different forms of media—art, video, text, music—are brought into productive dialogue with each other. This book is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students of political science, cultural studies, music studies, American studies, and art and media studies.

Download or read book The Recognitions written by William Gaddis and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 969 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A postmodern masterpiece about fraud and forgery by one of the most distinctive, accomplished novelists of the last century. The Recognitions is a sweeping depiction of a world in which everything that anyone recognizes as beautiful or true or good emerges as anything but: our world. The book is a masquerade, moving from New England to New York to Madrid, from the art world to the underworld, but it centers on the story of Wyatt Gwyon, the son of a New England minister, who forsakes religion to devote himself to painting, only to despair of his inspiration. In expiation, he will paint nothing but flawless copies of his revered old masters—copies, however, that find their way into the hands of a sinister financial wizard by the name of Recktall Brown, who of course sells them as the real thing. Dismissed uncomprehendingly by reviewers on publication in 1955 and ignored by the literary world for decades after, The Recognitions is now established as one of the great American novels, immensely ambitious and entirely unique, a book of wild, Boschian inspiration and outrageous comedy that is also profoundly serious and sad.

Download or read book Pantaleon The Physician written by Peter von Steinitz and published by Peter von Steinitz. This book was released on with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who was Pantaleon? Traditionally, Pantaleon is remembered as the personal doctor of Emperor Maximian at the time of the third and fourth century A.D. Three hundred years after the rule of Julius Caesar or Emperor Augustus, the Roman Empire still continues to exist. The Emperor Diocletian (Maximian) has divided the Empire into two halves. During this period, Milan is the capital city of the Western half, while Nicomedia serves as the Easterm capital. Rome is no longer the capital and Contantinople is still yet to be founded around one generation later by Constantine the Great. Nicomedia, which today is called Izmit at Lake Marmara, is where the young physician Pantaleon was born and lived. His father Eustorgios is a pagan, and his mother Eucuba is a fervent Christian faithful. The process taking place across the whole Roman Empire is the transition from a pagan society into an constantly persecuted Christian religion. This same process also takes place within the heart of our young hero, Pantaleon. An extraordinary experience leads him to believe in Christ. In his saintly self-forgetfulness, he dedicates his further life to the sick, who admire and love him for his friendliness and his gift of healing. While all people, especially the girls, like him because of his amiability, he sticks to his dedication towards Christ, the Divine Healer. In the iconic paintings of the Orthodox church, Panteleimon (as they call him) is always portrayed as a youthful “Figure of Beauty“, without a beard. On the 27th of July in the year 305 A.D., he dies as a martyr at only 27 years of age. In the Western Church, he is included among the “Fourteen Helpers“, whereas in the orthodox world, he stands in the middle of the Twelve “Anargyroi“ (those who help unselfishly). (Peter von Steinitz, the author of this novel, was parrish priest in the ancient Basilica of St. Pantaleon in Cologne, Germany from 1987 until 2007)
