Book Description
The original Extremely Unofficial and Highly Unauthorized Star Wars Kama Sutra came out just before Star Wars: The Force Awakens and has sold thousands of copies around the world. Now, here we are, two years later and it's time for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Like Lucas did with his special editions (but our changes are actually good), I wanted to take a moment to go through the original book and smooth out some rough edges, get rid of some jokes that didn't land, and add in a bunch of new positions, featuring toys from the Star Wars movies and TV shows that have come out since the first edition. The same warning applies from the original publication. This isn't a text book, it's a funny book. It's for grown-ups with a twisted sense of humor. Most importantly, it is a work of independent parody, made with love and reverence for all things Star Wars. Don't buy this for a child, buy it for your partner, spouse or friend. And remember, the internal temperature of a Taun Taun is still "Luke Warm." - May The Force Be With You.

Book Description
The Cambridge History of Japanese Literature provides, for the first time, a history of Japanese literature with comprehensive coverage of the premodern and modern eras in a single volume.

The various period introductions provide an overview of recurrent issues that span many decades, if not centuries. The book also places Japanese literature in a wider East Asian tradition of Sinitic writing and provides comprehensive coverage of women's literature as well as new popular literary forms, including manga (comic books). An extensive bibliography of works in English enables readers to continue to explore this rich tradition through translations and secondary reading.

Tun-huang Popular Narratives
Author: Victor H. Mair
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521247610
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Tun-huang Popular Narratives presents authoritative translations of four vernacular Chinese stories, taken from fragmentary texts usually referred to as pien-wen or 'transformation texts'. Dating from the late T'ang (618-907) and Five Dynasties (907-959) periods, the texts were discovered early last century in a cave at Tun-huang, in Chinese Central Asia. However, written down in an early colloquial language by semi-literate individuals and posing formidable philological problems, the texts have not been studied critically before. Nevertheless they represent the only surviving primary evidence of a widespread and flourishing world of popular entertainment during these centuries. The tales deal with both religious (mostly Buddhist) and secular themes, and make exciting and vivid reading.

Book Description
The Brave New World of Sex We've seen in less than a generation a swift revolution in human sexual behavior, attitude, and consequences so dramatic that some people are left in a state of stunned dismay and the public at large in aimless confusion. Much of the trend, if you can call a revolu tion a trend, is fueled by, or at least made possible by, technological innovations dating back to the middle of the twentieth century. The birth control pill opened the gate to promiscuity with little fear of pregnancy; marriage became an annoyance; divorce be came an opportunity; two working parents became a necessity; and teenage sex became nearly as socially acceptable as holding hands or going to the movies. The copulation explosion resulted in a spiraling epidemic of children giving birth to children, many of them on welfare. Girls seeking relief through abortions were sometimes forced to have their unwanted offspring despite the inevitability of some of them living in poverty and a desperate dead-end environment of squalor and crime. Some misguidedly wanted babies and ended up the same way. To top it all, discipline 2 A Sexual Odyssey became a lost art, leaving schools and neighborhoods infested with gun-toting, knife-wielding teenage delinquents-even in middle-class areas-who engaged in contests fo see who could get the most girls knocked up. The chaotic state of fornication, mating, and birthing may be a throwback to the past.
