 Mason Stokes, "The Color of Sex: Whiteness, Heterosexuality, and the Fictions of White Supremacy" English | 2001 | ISBN: 0822326205, 0822326264 | PDF | pages: 249 | 1.8 mb In The Color of Sex Mason Stokes offers new ways of thinking about whiteness by exploring its surprisingly ambivalent partnership with heterosexuality. Stokes examines a wide range of white-supremacist American texts written and produced between 1852 and 1915-literary romances, dime novels, religious and scientific tracts, film-and exposes whiteness as a tangled network of racial and sexual desire. Stokes locates these white-supremacist texts amid the anti-racist efforts of African American writers and activists, deepening our understanding of both American and African American literary and cultural history.  Didi Clarke, "The Celtic Wicca Spell Book: The Magick and Mythology of Celtic Witchcraft" English | ISBN: 1070814652 | 2019 | 54 pages | EPUB | 221 KB The Celtic Gods May Have Been Forgotten, But Now There's a Complete Guide to Invoking Their Ancient, Magickal Power  Clare L. Stacey, "The Caring Self: The Work Experiences of Home Care Aides" English | 2011 | ISBN: 0801476992, 0801449855 | PDF | pages: 214 | 0.9 mb According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were approximately 1.7 million home health aides and personal and home care aides in the United States as of 2008. These home care aides are rapidly becoming the backbone of America's system of long-term care, and their numbers continue to grow. Often referred to as frontline care providers or direct care workers, home care aides―disproportionately women of color―bathe, feed, and offer companionship to the elderly and disabled in the context of the home. In The Caring Self, Clare L. Stacey draws on observations of and interviews with aides working in Ohio and California to explore the physical and emotional labor associated with the care of others.  The Bush Dyslexicon By Mark Crispin Miller 2001 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 0553814222 | PDF | 10 MB 'They misunderestimated me'...He tends to blurt out all or part of what he's really thinking, even as he's trying to lie about it...George W Bush is so illiterate as to turn completely incoherent when he speaks without a script.He seems like too easy a target, but Dubya speaks for himself. Whether he's envisioning 'a foreign-handed foreign policy', explaining the American military's role - 'to fight and be able to win war, and therefore prevent war from happening in the first place' - or telling his nation that 'more and more of our imports come from overseas', George W Bush's appointment to the highest office in the world should strike fear into all our hearts.THE BUSH DYSLEXICON not only places the President in the context of other notorious dunces-in-chief, but shows him to be indisputably in a league of his own. Packed with incisive essays, famous interviews and classic comments, this book is much more than an amusing collection of Bush's gaffes - it is also a biting polemic on a culture so dependent on the emptiness of television that it has allowed a man who was unable to name the leaders of Pakistan,Chechnya or India to become US President.To quote Bush himself, 'It's not the way America is all about'.  Adam Rome, "The Bulldozer in the Countryside: Suburban Sprawl and the Rise of American Environmentalism" English | 2001 | ISBN: 0521804906, 0521800595 | EPUB | pages: 332 | 1.4 mb The Bulldozer in the Countryside is the first scholarly history of efforts to reduce the environmental costs of suburban development in the United States. The book offers a new account of two of the most important historical events in the period since World War II-the mass migration to the suburbs and the rise of the environmental movement. This work offers a valuable historical perspective for scholars, professionals, and citizens interested in the issue of suburban sprawl.  Alan Philps, John Lahutsky, "The Boy from Baby House 10: From the Nightmare of a Russian Orphanage to a New Life in America" English | 2009 | ISBN: 0312576978 | EPUB | pages: 304 | 0.3 mb In 1990, a young boy afflicted with cerebral palsy was born, prematurely, in Russia. His name was Vanya. His mother abandoned him to the state childcare system and he was sent to a bleak orphanage called Baby House 10. Once there, he entered a nightmare world he was not to leave for more than eight years. Housed in a ward with a group of other children, he was clothed in rags, ignored by most of the staff and given little, if any, medical treatment. He was finally, and cruelly, confined for a time to a mental asylum where he lived, almost caged, lying in a pool of his own waste on a locked ward surrounded by psychotic adults. But, that didn't stop Vanya.  Paulette Kouffman Sherman, "The Book of Sacred Baths: 52 Bathing Rituals to Revitalize Your Spirit" English | 2016 | pages: 288 | ISBN: 0738746029 | EPUB | 5,7 mb "Sacred bathing brings the ancient tradition of meditation and prayer into the modern day ritual practice of a home bath, so that you can connect to Spirit daily and purify your energy."―Dr. Larry Dossey, author of One Mind and The Science of Premonitions  The Biology of Sin: Grace, Hope and Healing for Those Who Feel Trapped By Matthew S. Stanford 2010 | 166 Pages | ISBN: 0830856137 | PDF | 17 MB There are heated discussions happening on the conflict between science and faith. This disagreement tends to focus around three main issues, one of them being what causes our sinful behavior. The intense conflict has to do with biblically defined sinful behaviors and if there just might be a biological predisposition for these behaviors. The Biology of Sin speaks to this debate and hopefully brings some resolution to the conflict. As both a Christian and a neuroscientist, Dr. Stanford has seen scientific knowledge distorted to justify sinful behavior and perhaps more disturbingly, he has seen Christians misuse Scripture to demonize and alienate the very ones they should be reaching out to. He suggests that the underlying cause of this problem in the church is a lack of knowledge, both of basic brain function and scriptural teaching. The Biology of Sin discusses sinful behaviors, including adultery, rage, addiction, and homosexuality, asking of each: What does science say, and what does the Bible say about this behavior? He then attempts to reconcile the fact that biological predispositions do play a role in behavior which the Bible defines as sinful while always emphasizing the authority of God's Holy Word and the abundant grace he has for those struggling with habitual sin.
