Diners, Dudes, and Diets
Author: Emily J. H. Contois
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 146966075X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
The phrase "dude food" likely brings to mind a range of images: burgers stacked impossibly high with an assortment of toppings that were themselves once considered a meal; crazed sports fans demolishing plates of radioactively hot wings; barbecued or bacon-wrapped . . . anything. But there is much more to the phenomenon of dude food than what's on the plate. Emily J. H. Contois's provocative book begins with the dude himself—a man who retains a degree of masculine privilege but doesn't meet traditional standards of economic and social success or manly self-control. In the Great Recession's aftermath, dude masculinity collided with food producers and marketers desperate to find new customers. The result was a wave of new diet sodas and yogurts marketed with dude-friendly stereotypes, a transformation of food media, and weight loss programs just for guys. In a work brimming with fresh insights about contemporary American food media and culture, Contois shows how the gendered world of food production and consumption has influenced the way we eat and how food itself is central to the contest over our identities.

Book Description
Melanie Newton might have taken a shortcut to the grave, but she took to her second life with an ease that surprised everyone. Everything in her life seems to have finally slotted into place—well, apart from a certain stubborn-as-hell, sexy-as-sin warlock. The most frustrating part is she knows he feels the same, but all the obstacles keep their fire at a frustrating simmer. So far, Melanie doesn’t know how to light things up for good. Ricky Moore hasn’t had a good few months. He’s struggling with his feelings about his growing power, battling addiction, and learning he has a five-year-old kid—all of which really messes with a guy’s head. Fresh from rehab, Ricky is certain, more now than ever before, that Lanie is the one for him. This time, he’s finally ready to play for keeps—if she’ll have him. When Melanie and Ricky are sent undercover to find out who’s responsible for the drug wreaking havoc on the supernatural community—the same drug that turned Ricky into an addict—Melanie comes face to face with someone from her past who threatens to destroy everything. The lines between what’s real and what’s for the job are about to be blurred into obscurity, but neither of them seems to care. The spark they shared has always been combustible, but now it seems unstoppable. In the end, will true love be enough to save them or is someone destined to get burned? SHORTCUT TO THE GRAVE is the sixth novel in the best-selling EVER CHACE CHRONICLES.

Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Updated with a new afterword "An excellent take on the lunacy affecting much of the world today. Douglas is one of the bright lights that could lead us out of the darkness." – Joe Rogan "Douglas Murray fights the good fight for freedom of speech ... A truthful look at today's most divisive issues" – Jordan B. Peterson Are we living through the great derangement of our times? In The Madness of Crowds Douglas Murray investigates the dangers of 'woke' culture and the rise of identity politics. In lively, razor-sharp prose he examines the most controversial issues of our moment: sexuality, gender, technology and race, with interludes on the Marxist foundations of 'wokeness', the impact of tech and how, in an increasingly online culture, we must relearn the ability to forgive. One of the few writers who dares to counter the prevailing view and question the dramatic changes in our society – from gender reassignment for children to the impact of transgender rights on women – Murray's penetrating book, now published with a new afterword taking account of the book's reception and responding to the worldwide Black Lives Matter protests, clears a path of sanity through the fog of our modern predicament.
