Francis, an informa company.
This book examines the intersections of representations of race and gender identity in writings by contemporary US men. The author seeks strategies for approaching ostensibly sexist or homophobic texts by men of colour in ways which grasp how homophobia or sexism coexist or are engendered by certain articulations of anti-racism, or conversely, how certain articulations of gender concerns help produce reactionary ideas about race.
29 STORIES THAT ILLUSTRATE WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN SAFETY IS LEFT ON
SHORESea Kayaker's Deep Trouble was a bestselling warning to
kayakers: Do not let ignorance or arrogance get you hurt or even
killed. Thousands heeded Deep Trouble's tales of tragedy; but even
with the benefits of evolving technology and more safety options,
kayakers still fall prey to human error. To renew the
cautiousattitude of seasoned paddlers and to instill safe practices
in kayaking newbies, Sea Kayaker's More Deep Trouble presents more
stories of kayaking trials, rescues, and tragedy. In these 29
stories collected from Sea Kayaker magazine, survivors and
witnesses tell of their experiences with the dangers and risks of
kayaking. You will feel the cold rush of water when paddlers fall
in, the panic they feel when they do not know how to rescue
themselves, and the anxiousness of loved ones waiting to hear any
news. You will learn how whale watching could cost you your life,
how life-saving electronics are only as good as the batteries you
have in them, and how a float plan can initiate a timely search and
rescue. End-of-story Lessons Learned summaries suggest what to do
if you find yourself in similar unfortunate situations. Read these
tales, understand the lessons learned in these incidents, and
respect the advice given as you take your next kayaking adventure.
This tome of danger and survival may ultimately save your life.
One of the greatest tragedies of the Christian church today is that
it worships a God it does not really know. "Worship 101:
Discovering the God We Worship in 101 Ways" seeks to help us
understand who God is. The book presents a combination of 101
names, attributes and characteristics of God directly from the
Bible (with supporting verses) which may be used to enhance our
worship experience. This book is punctuated by several sections of
down to earth practical suggestions aimed at moving our worship
experience from the superficial to one based on real knowledge,
increased reverence and intimacy with God. One of the beautiful
qualities of Worship 101 is its universal appeal for Christians of
all denominations. Because the major emphasis is on scripture,
rather than personal opinions, the book will be attractive to a
wide range of believers from the traditional/conservative to the
modern/liberal. This book is one that will be valuable to young
Christians and inspiring to older ones.
This step-by-step guide to building a lashed-frame, fabriccovered sea kayak is both a means to a sleek, fast, universally admired boat and an excellent introduction to woodworking and boatbuilding for hobbyists. The Inuit design scales up or down to fit the paddler and can be built using $150 worth of hardware-store materials, a few basic tools, and a minimal investment of time. Also included: plans for a low-volume version designed for Eskimo rolling; an especially stable version for children; and discussions of kayaking equipment, paddling, and rolling techniques.
