Not All Dead White Men
Author: Donna Zuckerberg
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674989821
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
A Times Higher Education Book of the Week A virulent strain of antifeminism is thriving online that treats women’s empowerment as a mortal threat to men and to the integrity of Western civilization. Its proponents cite ancient Greek and Latin texts to support their claims—from Ovid’s Ars Amatoria to Seneca and Marcus Aurelius—arguing that they articulate a model of masculinity that sustained generations but is now under siege. Not All Dead White Men reveals that some of the most controversial and consequential debates about the legacy of the ancients are raging not in universities but online. “A chilling account of trolling, misogyny, racism, and bad history proliferated online by the Alt-Right... Zuckerberg makes a persuasive case for why we need a new, more critical, and less comfortable relationship between the ancient and modern worlds in this important and very timely book.” —Emily Wilson, translator of The Odyssey “Explores how ideas about Ancient Greece and Rome are used and misused by antifeminist thinkers today.” —Time “Zuckerberg presciently analyzes these communities’...embrace of stoicism as a self-help tool to gain confidence, jobs, and girlfriends. Their adoration of men like Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Ovid...is founded in a limited and distorted interpretation of ancient philosophy...lending heft and authority to sexism and abuse.” —The Nation “Traces the application—and misapplication—of classical authors and texts in online communities that see feminism as a threat.” —Bitch Media

The Merlin Dialogues
Author: Ed Lewis
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662454198

Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
So much to know! Merlin pondered. Wisdom is the key to the shaman’s journey; healing the goal. Meaning, purpose, love, and relationship to earth and God—at some time in life, everyone is exposed to these. Shamans, however, must plumb their depths and ascend their heights as these are urgent and essential to the journey, like cardinal points on the compass. So much danger! he realized. He had only these few nights to mentor them on how to protect themselves. At best, he had only a short time before they would return to their twenty-first century and preserve history as we know it. At worst, he had only a few nights before she found them. She who wanted to kill them to see that they never learned at all. “The Merlin Dialogues, by Dr. Ed Lewis, brings to life the journey of five kids from the 21st century back to sometime in the 6th century. Traveling well off the road that led to Tintagel Castle ‘Deep in the woods…there was no relief from the knowledge that they were being hunted like prey.’ Sitting around a campfire after dark, Merlin announces, ‘The time has come to gift you with your shaman names.’ Shaman names represent ‘…who you now are, who you are to become in the future, and also identify your animal helpers.’ Seamless transitions between story teller and dialogue, weave a magical and mystical allegory, as cousins learn in the 6th century about themselves, each other, and more importantly: about life, love, being, and Being – as well as about Mother Earth and the perils of ever worsening climate damage.” -Steve White CEO, multi-client communications business Rockport, Maine “Merlin [is] both enchanted and enchanting, a consciousness sorely wanted by our present culture. Merlin teaches the [kids] to come to trust their own intuitions so that their guide is inside, the place where Merlin lives. I’m sure that [young readers] will get the spirit of this through journeying through your story. At the end of the day, we are meant to make our own personal take on life, something that is therefore unique and all the more valuable for that.” —Gareth Davies retired Church of Scotland minister, shamanic practitioner, and art therapist Edinburgh, Scotland

Publisher: Jerven Publishing
ISBN: 1915854032
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
DragonBound is the second enthralling book in the Fantasy Romance SoulMist series full of vibrant characters, political intrigue and betrayal. How could so much go awry in so short a time? Crossing the divide between gloomy Eidolon and sunny Puronia was the least of their problems. Solanji Her brother is still soulless and lost in Eidolon. Having exchanged tantalising promises of love with the mesmerising fallen angel, Demavrian, she led him straight into a trap, and he is running out of time to prove his innocence. She has no idea how to use her SoulBreathing skills or to control the dragon that comes with it, and to top it all, the Heavenly Host kicked in her door. They had better repair it! Demavrian Ageing isn’t fun. If he didn’t reconnect to the citadel fast, he may even die of it, if the queue of angels wanting him dead didn’t get to him first. Unexpected enemies and surprising allies surface as he navigates the dark web of corrupted politics in the angel’s assembly. Let’s hope his newly independent oathsworn can keep him alive long enough to unravel his memories of what really happened the day he was cast out – and his beautiful SoulBreather, Solanji, may be the key. Solanji and Mav may be immortal, but they are running out of time to discover who is behind all the scheming and how to redeem the soulless. When the timepiece makes it last turn, they will not be the only ones to suffer if they fail.

Double O Stephen and the Ghostly Realm
Author: Angela Ahn
Publisher: Tundra Books
ISBN: 0735268290
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Ghosts, pirates and family secrets — Stephen gets more than he bargained for when he seeks out adventure in the ghostly realm, for fans of When You Trap a Tiger. Stephen loves pirates. What he doesn't love is his name: Stephen Oh-O'Driscoll. He believes when his Korean mother and Irish father gave him this name, that it was just one cruel setup for being teased. Giving things the proper name is important, which is why Stephen thinks that it's time to update the definition of "pirate." They've got a bad rep, and maybe they deserve some of it, but Stephen still likes a few pirate traditions, like bandannas and eyepatches — he's just not that into stealing things from people. He has the perfect new word: piventurate. A sailor who passionately seeks adventure. That's what he wants to be. When he gets suspended from school for doing proper piventurate-in-training things (using sticks to practice sword fighting), his mother doesn't let him sit around doing nothing, instead she takes him to a museum. At the museum everything changes. Stephen finds himself in a strange new place, face-to-face with a real pirate. A pirate ghost. Captain Sapperton needs Stephen's help to cross to the other side, and his former ghost crew are intent on making sure Stephen follows through, whatever it takes. Stephen is about to discover the true meaning of piventurate, and much to his surprise, his adventure will not only take him farther into the ghostly realm, but also closer to home, where long-held family secrets reveal surprising ties to the spirit world.
