The Arab Uprisings : What Everyone Needs to Know (9780199891771)

Beginning in December 2010 popular revolt swept through the Middle East, shocking the world and ushering in a period of unprecedented unrest. Protestors took to the streets to demand greater freedom, democracy, human rights, social justice, and regime change. What caused these uprisings? What is their significance? And what are their likely consequences? In an engaging question-and-answer format, The Arab Uprisings explores all aspects of the revolutionary protests that have rocked the Middle East. Historian James Gelvin begins with an overview-What sparked the Arab uprisings? Where did the demands for democracy and human rights come from? How appropriate is the phrase "Arab Spring"?-before turning to specific countries around the region. He looks at such topics as the role of youth, labor, and religious groups in Tunisia and Egypt and discusses why the military turned against rulers in both countries. Exploring the uprisings in Libya and Yemen, Gelvin explains why these two ...

Jan Svankmajer (9780252083020)

Jan Svankmajer enjoys a curious sort of anti-reputation: he is famous for being obscure. Unapologetically surrealist, Svankmajer draws on the traditions and techniques of stop-motion animation, collage, montage, puppetry, and clay to craft bizarre filmscapes. If these creative choices are off-putting to some, they have nonetheless won the Czech filmmaker recognition as a visionary animator. Keith Leslie Johnson explores Svankmajer's work as a cinema that spawns new and weird life forms "hybrids of machine, animal, and non-organic materials like stone and dust. Johnson's ambitious approach unlocks access to the director's world, a place governed by a single, uncanny order of being where all things are at once animated and inert. For Svankmajer, everything is at stake in every aspect of life, whether that life takes the form of an object, creature, or human. Sexuality, social bonds, religious longings "all get recapitulated on the stage of inanimate things. In Joh...

The Monet Murders : The Art of Murder 2 (9781945802492)

All those late night conversations when Sam had maybe a drink too many or Jason was half falling asleep. All those playful, provocative comments about what they'd do when they finally met up again. Well, here they were... The last thing Jason West, an ambitious young FBI Special Agent with the Art Crimes Team, wants--or needs--is his uncertain and unacknowledged romantic relationship with irascible legendary Behavioral Analysis Unit Chief Sam Kennedy.

But personal feelings must be put aside when Sam requests Jason's help to catch a deranged killer targeting wealthy, upscale art collectors.

I Can Say No (9781937870775)

In I Can Say No, Jenny Simmons teaches children the power of the word no. Whether it's saying no to bullying or someone invading their personal space or simply to playing with a friend when they need some alone time, children learn that they can use their voice to stand up for what is good in the world, and good for themselves. I learned a little word, And even though it's small, When I use it with authority, I'm the strongest of them all! NO That's right. I can say NO. I can say no to a movie I don't like.I can say no if I'm not into riding bikes.I can say no if I want to be alone, Or I'm feeling kind of tired and would rather stay at home. As parents and educators, we often teach children to use the word no when they are in danger or when someone is trying to harm them. But no is powerful in other areas of life, as well. Learning to say no without feeling guilty or needing to explain themselves gives children the power to protect their boundaries,...

Apres Le Suicide d'Un Proche : Vivre Le Deuil Et Se Reconstruire (9782226169402)

Une personne que vous aimiez s'est donnée la mort et depuis c'est le chaos. Face au vide, à la détresse, à l'impuissance, où trouver la force de continuer à avancer - et d'abord de survivre au suicide de son compagnon, de son parent, de son enfant ? Face à ce cataclysme, les mots manquent, d'autant que dans une société où la mort est un tabou, le deuil lié au suicide l'est encore davantage. Christophe Fauré aborde tous les aspects de cette souffrance pas comme les autres: le gouffre de la culpabilité, la colère, le vécu dépressif et le désespoir, la tentation d'en finir à son tour, les difficultés dans la relation avec autrui, l'extrème solitude, le désarroi des proches... À partir de très nombreux témoignages, qui sont autant de reflets de la diversité des situations, il s'adresse à celui qui reste lorsque l'autre est parti et à son entourage, si démuni pour l'aider. Ces paroles sur l'indicible sont là pour aider le lecteur no...

'With This Is Why I Resist, Dr Shola is shaking a nation out of its slumber.' Annie Lennox OBE 'Smart and courageous, this book should be on everyone's must-read list.' Naomi Campbell 'Written with fearless articulacy, this book recalibrates the conversation on race to ignite transformational change.' David Lammy MP 'This book is a passionate call to arms for anyone who wishes to look the other way. It is a must read.' Professor Kate Williams 'Inclusive, exciting and focused, This Is Why I Resist is a fantastic point of reference for intersectional anti-racism work, no matter who you are.'

Pulitzer's Gold : Behind the Prize for Public Service Journalism (9780826217684)

No journalism awards are awaited with as much anticipation as the Pulitzer Prizes. And among those Pulitzers, none is more revered than the Joseph Pulitzer Gold Medal. "Pulitzer's Gold" is the first book to trace the ninety-year history of the coveted Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, awarded annually to a newspaper rather than to individuals, in the form of that Gold Medal. Exploring this service-journalism legacy, Roy Harris recalls dozens of "stories behind the stories," often allowing the journalists involved to share their own accounts. Here are a vivid description of the "Boston Globe's" uncovering of sexual misconduct by Catholic priests; an analysis of how the "New York Times" helped the community cope with the 9/11 attacks; and tales of the brilliant coverage of Hurricane Katrina by two wounded papers, the "Times-Picayune" in New Orleans and the "Sun Herald" in Gulfport, Mississippi.

The Fifth Century in Rome : Art, Liturgy, Patronage (9788867282111)

The objective of this book is to draw attention to fifth-century Rome - to those hundred years which even today need to be looked at from different perspectives. It is a key moment, a border between worlds, far too important not to receive further attention. The studies, presented here together, aim to respond to new demands: the art object remains at the centre, but with a new search for its context. This context would be unthinkable without the key concept of co-existence - between popular and elite culture, popes and emperors, pagans and Christians. As well as between liturgy - intrinsically necessary to the Christian world - and patronage - the intellectual project which stems from a cultural concept. Moreover, co-existence is crucial between the mindset of the Roman elites (the tradition inscribed in the city's DNA), and new internal and external demands arising from this rich moment in the history of Rome. The fifth-century, studied in this book, is the moment in which future...
