Book Description
Book three in the Women on Top series Laughter is the best aphrodisiac. Comedian Wren isn't laughing. Since her fiancé died three years ago, she's been struggling to keep things together and she's developed a debilitating phobia of water. When she's offered a job on a cruise ship, she takes it, hoping it will help cure her phobia and allow her to move on. Geologist Brett Fortescue knows a sweet deal when he sees one—take his mother on a cruise as part of her bucket list and give her a holiday to remember and, in return, his father will provide him with much-needed funding for his lab. It's a no-brainer. When Wren's and Brett's paths cross on the glitzy Serendipity, bound for Alaska, romance blossoms. But things aren't what they seem... Brett realizes that his mother's bucket-list tour is mired with hidden agendas and that he'll have to turn his plans upside down to make her holiday memorable. Wren discovers that if she wants to keep her job, she'll have to out-perform a rival entertainer. For her show to shine, she has to be funny. Problem is, she's not sure how anymore. Maybe Brett's the one who can teach her how to laugh and—more importantly—to love again?

The Caveman Mystique
Author: Martha McCaughey
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135952086
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Has evolution made men promiscuous skirt chasers? Pop-Darwinian claims about men's irrepressible heterosexuality have become increasingly common, and increasingly common excuses for men's sexual aggression. The Caveman Mystique traces such claims about the hairier sex through evolutionary science and popular culture. After outlining the social and historical context of the rise of pop-Darwinism's assertions about male sexuality and their appeal to many men, Martha McCaughey shows how evolutionary discourse can get lived out as the biological truth of male sexuality. Although evolutionary scientists want to use their theories to solve social problems, evolutionary narratives get invoked by men looking for a Darwinian defense of bad-boy behaviors. McCaughey argues that evolution has nearly replaced religion as a moral guide for understanding who we are and what we must overcome to be good people. Bringing together insights from the fields of science studies, body studies, feminist theory and queer theory, The Caveman Mystique offers a fresh understanding of science, science popularization, and the impact of science on men's identities making a convincing case for deconstructing, rather than defending, the caveman.

The Dinosaur Filmography
Author: Mark F. Berry
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476606749
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 510
Book Description
From classics like King Kong, to beloved B-movies like The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, to blockbusters like Jurassic Park, it's easy to see that filmmakers and audiences alike love to see dinosaurs on the screen. This comprehensive filmography, arranged alphabetically by title, contains entries that include basic facts (year of release, country of origin, studio, and running time), followed by a concise plot summary, the author's critical commentary, information on the production and the people behind it, and secrets of the often-ingenious special effects. Three useful appendices feature films with minor dinosaur content, planned but unfinished dinosaur movies, and the quasi-dinosaurs of Toho Studios. To be included, a movie must depict one or more representations of a "prehistoric reptile." Inaccurate portrayals are included, as long as the intent is to represent a real or fictional dinosaur. Not eligible are films featuring prehistoric mammals, prehistoric humans or humanoids, and beasts of mythology--unless, of course, the movie also has a dinosaur.
