Raw Talent
Author: Robert H. Rimmer
Publisher: Prometheus Books
ISBN: 1615922571
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
The first publication of Raw Talent created an extraordinary flurry of publicity. Jerry Butler appeared on dozens of talk shows, capturing audiences with his intensity and charm. Reviews of the book lauded Butler''s honesty and remarked on the double standard that permits explicit violence on film - but not explicit sex. The book sold out four printings; nonetheless, reactions within the adult film industry included heated debate and an unofficial blacklisting of Butler.The former star of X-rated films and winner of many awards, Jerry Butler wrote the book that many warned would "finish him" in the business that had rewarded him with money and fame. But it is characteristic of Butler that these warnings didn''t prevent him from producing this devastatingly honest appraisal of the adult film trade - and of himself. For while Butler is frankly critical of an industry that treats actors and actresses like throw-away props, and allows unprotected sex in the age of AIDS, he reserves his most candid commentary for himself. Raw Talent tells the story of Butler''s erotic voyage from average child to sex star. The epilogue added to this new edition answers the question: Where will Jerry go from here?

Endocrine Aspects of Successful Aging: Genes, Hormones and Lifestyles
Author: P. Chanson
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3662070197
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
At the beginning of the 20th century, life expectancy at birth in North America and Western Europe was around 50 years of age. Nowadays, women have gained more than 30 years of age and men are trailing closer. However, according to several sociologists such as Louis Chauvel, the notion of a "greying society" is not entirely adequate since aging people are physically and socially younger and more active for a longer time. Of course, the other side of the medal is to tackle the challenge of preventing age-associated chronic diseases. In this book the extensive field of research on neuroendocrine aging has been reviewed. Aging is one of the most complex biological processes determined by the interactions between genetic and environmental factors.

Alchemy of Thought

ISBN: 9789944424998
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
The author continues his quest to discover and know the Creator, and to align his Islamic-originated religious beliefs with the discoveries made by philosophers and scientists. In this work, Ciller differentiates between 'mind' and 'thinking' as he concludes that energy and information are the keystones to the universe and that resonance is the communication channel by which information is shared between man and the Creator. This science-based text is directed towards those who are searching for proofs to the spiritual questions they pose.

Women and Soap Opera
Author: Christine Geraghty
Publisher: Blackwell Publishing
ISBN: 9780745605685
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
This is the first major study of the roles of women in prime time soap operas. In a comparative analysis of British and North American television soaps, Christine Geraghty examines the relationship between the narratives on the screen and the women viewers who make up the traditional soap audience. Within the structure of many of the most popular soaps, such as Dallas, Dynasty, Coronation Street and EastEnders, the split between public and personal life, reason and emotion, work and leisure is turned into a lynchpin of the plot. The author argues that these themes are also linked to broader social divisions between men and women, divisions which soap operas both question and develop as a source of pleasure. Geraghty analyses the critical role of women characters in the families and communities of soaps and suggests that the utopian possibilities of soaps can be used not just to maintain the status quo, but to promote change and influence attitudes and prejudices. She examines the way in which soaps have been transformed in the last decade, looking at how issues of class, race, sexual orientation and feminism have been handled in the programmes. She argues that in pursuing new audiences more recent soaps such as Brookside may have put at risk the pleasures they have traditionally offered their women viewers. Women and Soap Opera is a detailed, thoughtful and wide-ranging analysis which will become a central work in women’s studies and media and cultural studies courses.
