Описание:

Mazy and Molly and No TV Week is unique, in that it offers its readers (and listeners) a picture-book length limerick. Written in rhythm and rhyme, this quirky, fun read elicits silliness and giggles galore

Mazy and Molly were slugs

slurping hot cocoa from mugs.

The TV was blaring;

they stared without caring,

then mom began yanking the plugs

What happens next is an unexpected surprise that leaves the twins (and their mom) "basking" in delight

Описание: The American Indian Movement burst onto the scene in the late 1960s as indigenous people across the country began to demand what is rightfully theirs. Clyde Bellecourt, whose Ojibwe name translates as "The Thunder Before the Storm," is one of its cofounders and iconic leaders. This powerful autobiography provides an intimate narrative of his childhood on the White Earth Reservation, his long journey through the prison system, and his embodiment of "confrontation politics" in waging war against entrenched racism.
Bellecourt is up-front and unapologetic when discussing his battles with drug addiction, his clashes with other AIM leaders, his experiences on the Trail of Broken Treaties and at Wounded Knee, and the cases of Leonard Peltier and murdered AIM activist Anna Mae Aquash. This gritty, as-told-to memoir also uncovers the humanity behind Bellecourt's militant image, revealing a sensitive spirit whose wounds motivated him to confront injustice and to help others gain a sense of pride by knowing their culture.
The Thunder Before the Storm offers an invaluable inside look at the birth of a national movement--the big personalities, the creativity, and the perseverance that were necessary to alter the course of Native and American history.
"Raw. Unapologetic. Transporting. . . . History without the bullshit. This book demonstrates that indigenous resistance in the face of government tyranny is a tradition that continues to this day."--Simon Moya-Smith (Lakota and Chicano), culture editor at Indian Country Today
"More than just a history of Red Power, it is a personal story of struggle and redemption. Clyde Bellecourt may continue to incite controversy but one thing is certain: he is a legend who has devoted his life to fighting for Indian people."--Bradley Shreve, PhD, Tribal College Journal

Описание:

How he could now be forgotten seems unfathomable. Lewis Galanti re guided Hemingway through his first years in Paris, when the author was unknown and desperate for recognition. He helped James Joyce and Sylvia Beach launch Ulysses; started John Houseman in his theatrical career; and collaborated with Antoine de Saint-Exup ry in the writing of Wind, Sand and Stars and Flight to Arras. He was a playwright, a literary and cultural critic and an author, Federal Reserve Bank economist throughout the Great Depression, director of the French Branch of the Office of War Information at the onset of World War II, ACLU Director during the McCarthyism-fraught 1950s, Counselor to Radio Free Europe and, at a crucial time in its history, president of PEN America, the writers advocacy organization.

Yet, today, few know his name and, to those who do, he is a cipher...

And that was precisely his intent. The son of Jewish Latvian immigrants at a time of rampant anti-semitism, Lewis spent his first thirteen years in Chicago's tenements and did not complete grade school. Yet, by his early twenties, Lewis had convinced the world that he was the apostate son of French Catholic parents, and had earned degrees from French and German universities.

Galanti re, The Lost Generation's Forgotten Man, is both a historical chronicle providing rare insights into the lives of leading twentieth century figures (with previously unpublished personal correspondence from Hadley Hemingway and Alfred Knopf), and a meticulously researched biography. Galanti re presents, for the first time, the seemingly magical story of the self-fabricated and fully-realized man, Lewis Galanti re.

Описание: The fascinating issue of operative opening of the uterus and delivering the fetus known today as cesarean section has intrigued humankind for ages. This book is the most comprehensive text on the fascinating history of cesarean section. It includes the origin of the eponym and describes many myths from ancient Greek, Roman, Persian and medieval cultures. The first documents regarding cesarean delivery arise in ancient legal texts: a cuneiform tablet dealing with the adoption of a small boy during the 23rd year of the renowned King Hammurabi of Babylon (17951750 BC), "Lex Regia" proclaimed by Numa Pompilius, an ancient Roman King (716673 BC), and Mishna, the collection of ancient Jewish laws (2nd century BC-6th century AD). The book includes a description of the oldest known drawing of a cesarean section that appears in the 1307 AD version of the book "Al-Athar-ul- Bakiya" by Albiruni. The book focuses on the debate about the definite perception of cesarean delivery that had at several times reached culminate conflicts, as in the medieval period, during the 18th century, during the 19th century and at the 20th-21st centuries. Although, cesarean section on maternal request is a complex issue, it seems that those in favor of allowing women to have a maternal-choice cesarean section prevail over those against it in this round. Finally, the book focuses on physicians who had changed the history of cesarean section: Francois Rousset (15301603) who had a vision on performing cesarean section on living women, Max Sanger (18531903) who introduced uterine sutures, John Martin Munro Kerr (18681960) who introduced the transverse lower uterine segment incision, and Edwin Bradford Craigin (18591918) with his dictum: "once a Cesarean always a Cesarean".

Описание: Wittgenstein on the Human Spirit provides a new understanding of Wittgenstein’s discourse as an insightful philosophy of culture, pursued through self-reflection. It offers an edifying perspective on the conceptual underpinnings of culture as a shared expressive spiritual form of life. The ideas investigated in it are highly relevant for discussions in philosophy, aesthetics, anthropology, and cultural studies. The book embraces three studies: The Spirit of Jews, The Spirits of Culture and Civilization, and The Common Spirit of Human Beings. The first discusses Wittgenstein's remarks about Jews, focusing on their place within his philosophical thinking, self-reflection, and European discourse about culture and Jews. It shows how overcoming the anti-Semitic attitude implicit in them set off the major change in his philosophy. The second discusses Wittgenstein’s reflections on the “deterioration of culture” in the modern period, showing how they are related to his remarks about following rules. The third discusses Wittgenstein’s insights regarding the symbolic nature of myth, magic and religion. It suggests that modern human beings and those of ancient cultures possess a common expressive spiritual nature. This enables us to understand expressive practices in other cultures without interpretation. Nonetheless religious belief during the modern period is problematic.
