Book Description
A stirring tale of life, loss, redemption and salvation set against the backdrop of a May/December relationship. In the backwoods and swamps of Louisiana, 100 year old Granny Stillwater hides away, waiting out her last years. However her plans are derailed by the entrance of Wade "Bigz" Covey, a New Orleans Drug Lord who has amnesia from being shot in the head by his partner in crime, Fast Eddy. In the middle of a hurricane, the severely wounded Bigz bursts into Ella Mae's cabin and is nursed back to health by the old lady. Together, they find they are kindred souls and through each other, both find the strength to go on with their lives. The very forces that brought them together would just as easily tear them apart, on one hand there is Ella Mae's distant relative, Sheriff Jack Johnson who wants to protect her from the harm he fears her association with Wade "Bigz" Covey will surely bring. On the other hand there is Fast Eddy, the murderous thug who is only safe if "Bigz" is dead.

The Grand Chessboard
Author: Zbigniew Brzezinski
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0465093086
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Bestselling author and eminent foreign policy scholar Zbigniew Brzezinski's classic book on American's strategic mission in the modern world. In The Grand Chessboard, renowned geostrategist Zbigniew Brzezinski delivers a brutally honest and provocative vision for American preeminence in the twenty-first century. The task facing the United States, he argues, is to become the sole political arbiter in Eurasian lands and to prevent the emergence of any rival power threatening our material and diplomatic interests. The Eurasian landmass, home to the greatest part of the globe's population, natural resources, and economic activity, is the "grand chessboard" on which America's supremacy will be ratified and challenged in the years to come. In this landmark work of public policy and political science, Brzezinski outlines a groundbreaking and powerful blueprint for America's vital interests in the modern world. In this revised edition, Brzezinski addresses recent global developments including the war in Ukraine, the re-emergence of Russia, and the rise of China.

Surfing the black : Yugoslav Black Wave cinema and its transgressive moments
Author: Gal Kirn
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789072076519
Category : Motion pictures
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
The Yugoslav black wave cinema of the sixties and the seventies is one of the grand, though hidden, chapters of cinema history. Talented young authors, working under the sign of individual expression and aesthetic experimentation, pushed and explored the limits of the constraints of a socialist state. Their efforts lead to a new path of visual expression, so outstanding by its social and political engagement, its formal invention, and its courage. This book is the result of a multi-disciplinary research attempting to cross over politics, philosophy, design, art, architecture, and some speculative thinking. Starting from archival work, interviews, seminars, screenings and a conference, 'Surfing the Black' has found its (temporary) conclusion in a publication consisting of six theoretical essays and three fanzines that open up the black wave film experience to current affairs.

Making Home(s) in Displacement
Author: Luce Beeckmans
Publisher: Leuven University Press
ISBN: 9462702934
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
Making Home(s) in Displacement critically rethinks the relationship between home and displacement from a spatial, material, and architectural perspective. Recent scholarship in the social sciences has investigated how migrants and refugees create and reproduce home under new conditions, thereby unpacking the seemingly contradictory positions of making a home and overcoming its loss. Yet, making home(s) in displacement is also a spatial practice, one which intrinsically relates to the fabrication of the built environment worldwide. Conceptually the book is divided along four spatial sites, referred to as camp, shelter, city, and house, which are approached with a multitude of perspectives ranging from urban planning and architecture to anthropology, geography, philosophy, gender studies, and urban history, all with a common focus on space and spatiality. By articulating everyday homemaking experiences of migrants and refugees as spatial practices in a variety of geopolitical and historical contexts, this edited volume adds a novel perspective to the existing interdisciplinary scholarship at the intersection of home and displacement. It equally intends to broaden the canon of architectural histories and theories by including migrants' and refugees' spatial agencies and place-making practices to its annals. By highlighting the political in the spatial, and vice versa, this volume sets out to decentralise and decolonise current definitions of home and displacement, striving for a more pluralistic outlook on the idea of home.
