Book Description
The group called the Firstborns heard the call of God and embarked on a journey to a land of peace and joy. But to get there, they must trek through dangerous terrain filled with bandits and marauders, whose only ambition was to steal and kill travelers. Furthermore, hot on their trail were the short, stout man and tall, thin man, their mortal and relentless enemies. They hired mercenaries to hunt them down and slaughter all men, women, and children. Not daunted, the Firstborns continued forward, their faith wholly in God, who had called them, and they met each undertaking and conflict inside and outside the group with courage.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
Dramatic story of World War II in the air How the U.S. built an air force of 2.3 million men after starting with 45,000 and defeated the world's best air force Vivid accounts of aerial combat Winner, 2011 San Diego Book Awards for Military & Politics In order to defeat Germany in World War II, the Allies needed to destroy the Third Reich's industry and invade its territory, but before they could effectively do either, they had to defeat the Luftwaffe, whose state-of-the-art aircraft and experienced pilots protected German industry and would batter any attempted invasion. This difficult task fell largely to the U.S., which, at the outset, lacked the necessary men, materiel, and training. Over the ensuing years, thanks to visionary leadership and diligent effort, the U.S. Army Air Force developed strategies and tactics and assembled a well-trained force that convincingly defeated the Luftwaffe.

Men, Masculinities, and Popular Romance
Author: Jonathan A. Allan
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351240005
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
Men, Masculinities, and Popular Romance seeks to open a lively and accessible discussion between critical studies of men and masculinities and popular romance studies, especially its continued interest in what Janice Radway has called "the purity of his maleness." Popular romance novels, perhaps more than any other genre, explore sexuality and gender, creating an ideal space in which to consider and explore theoretical models that think seriously about gender. The romance novel has long been criticized and celebrated by feminist critics. How can these novels maintain, according to some, feminist ideals, while also upholding what Raewyn Connell has long theorized as "hegemonic masculinity"? This volume is an original and important contribution examining the previously underexamined nexus of masculinity and popular romance studies. It will be of key interest to undergraduates and postgraduates in Masculinities, Gender and Women’s Studies, and Literary Studies, and highly relevant to courses in Masculinity Studies, Pop Culture Studies, Queer Studies and Sexuality Studies.
