'King of One More Chapter' JOANNA CANNON 'Master of the
unputdownable thriller' MICHAEL WOOD NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED
Elliott has never thought of himself as a hero. Until one dark
night he meets Rebecca, a scared and vulnerable young woman who
needs his help. There's a man harassing her, following her; would
he mind pretending to be her boyfriend, just while she walks home,
to put him off? And that is that - just a favour for a stranger -
until there is a knock at Elliott's door. It's the man who was
following Rebecca. He claims he's her ex-boyfriend, but it's clear
that he's been stalking her. He's obsessed, dangerously so. He
wants Rebecca, and will do anything to have her. When Elliott
eventually tries to tell him the truth, the man doesn't believe
him. The only way to save himself is to get Rebecca to explain.
There's just one problem: Rebecca is nowhere to be found. And now
it looks like one good deed will cost Elliott everything. A
must-read for fans of Adrian McKinty, Steve Cavanagh and Alex
North, this is a gripping pageturner from 'the King of One More
Chapter'
In this detailed investigation of masculine gendered identity,
first published in 1990, David Jackson uses his own personal
history to look at the specific ways in which men become masculine
. In doing so he examines, but also offers some positive challenges
to, the assumed qualities and values of growing up manly . Jackson
looks closely at the psychological and social forces active in his
own development: relations with his father, violence at school,
male banter and joking, sporting activities, boys comics, and
sexual relations. The title is a deliberate blend between life
story and critical commentary that makes use of some areas of
post-structuralist theory to make visible the social and emotional
processes that contribute to one man s life history. With an
innovative theoretical approach, this reissue will be of particular
value to those interested in the social, psychological and cultural
forces that have gone into the historical shaping of men and
masculinities. "
Students of German Literature will have asked themselves at one
stage or another why certain topics have received saturation
treatment of the last two centuries while others have been either
ignored entirely or at best grossly neglected. This book tackles
this fascinating issue and illuminates why, at various junctures,
specific topics and attitudes were regarded by influential sections
of society as being either inadmissable or presentable only in
particular, prescribed ways. While the presentation of sexual
matters such as homosexuality and lesbianism is inevitably at the
heart of the book, political, social, and ideological issues also
loom large. The editor has recruited a team of prominent scholars
to provide a penetrating, comprehensive focus that ranges from
individual writers and their works, i.e., Goethe, Hoelderlin,
Kafka, and Thomas Mann, to specific issues, movements and periods.
This text confronts the complacent assumption that "boys will be boys" which has resulted in a widespread blindness about the problem of boys in school. The book is a balance between theories on boys and classroom practice. Each chapter has a thematic introduction, a series of classroom strategies including practical suggestions for classroom use, and an "in the classroom" section which includes a short account of working with boys on some of these themes in an inner-city comprehensive school. eBook available with sample pages: 0203397428

In the first three decades of the twentieth century, artists,
writers, musicians, and architects from both sides of the Atlantic
interacted to create a modern style for Brazil. Their works shaped
Brazilian national expression and self-definition for the twentieth
century and into the present, with renewed relevance as Brazil
plays an increasingly important role in global affairs. Artists
such as Tarsila do Amaral and Roberto Burle-Marx are appearing for
the first time in museums in the United States and Europe, along
with the concept of antropofagia from the "Cannibal Manifesto", a
theory of cultural autonomy and a model for fusion, hybridity, and
assimilation. This book offers a cultural history and
interpretation of Brazilian modernism in the arts and letters,
exploring how modernism depends on transatlantic negotiation and
develops through interchanges between Brazilians and Europeans.

THERE'S A SERIAL KILLER ON THE RUN
AND HE'S HIDING IN YOUR HOUSE
Thomas Brogan is a serial killer. With a trail of bodies in his wake
and the police hot on his heels, it seems like Thomas has nowhere left
to hide. That is until he breaks into an abandoned house at the end of
a terrace on a quiet street. And when he climbs up into the loft, he
realises that he can drop down into all the other houses through the
shared attic space.
That's when the real fun begins. Because the one thing that Thomas
enjoys even more than killing is playing games with his victims - the
lonely old woman, the bickering couple, the tempting young newlyweds.
And his new neighbours have more than enough dark secrets to make this
game his best one yet...
Do you fear The Resident? Soon you'll be dying to meet him.

The rise of critical realism in nineteenth-century Russia
culminated in 1870 with the formation of the Wanderers, Russia's
first independent artistic society. Through depictions of the harsh
lives of the peasantry, the fate of political activists, Russian
history, landscapes, and portraits of the nation's cultural elite,
such as Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, the society became synonymous with
dissident sentiments. Yet its members were far from being purveyors
of anti-Tsarist propaganda and their canvases reflect also a warm
humanity and a fierce pride for such nationalistic themes as
Russian myth and legend. Through close readings of single canvases,
investigations of major themes and a multi-disciplinary integration
of the Wanderers within Russian society, this book gives the first
comprehensive analysis of the crucial cultural role played by one
of the most successful and genuinely popular schools of art, the
legacy of which comprises a fascinating panorama of life and
thought in pre-revolutionary Russia. -- .

This text confronts the complacent assumption that "boys will be
boys" which has resulted in a widespread blindness about the
problem of boys in school. It challenges the culture of aggressive
manliness within which most boys have grown up and the destructive
masculinity that they learn later in life. This challenging is done
by critically investigating the key social forces that shape boys -
insults, put-downs, sport and the making of masculine bodies and
militaristic culture. The book is a balance between theories on
boys and classroom practice. Each chapter has a thematic
introduction, a series of classroom strategies (including practical
suggestions for classroom use), and an "in the classroom" section
which includes a short account of working with boys on some of
these themes in an inner-city comprehensive school.

A vibrant survey of visual culture in Golden Age Denmark
(1801-1864) Following the disastrous outcome of the Napoleonic Wars
and national bankruptcy, Denmark affected a remarkable cultural
renaissance, spawning such major talents as Hans Christian
Andersen, Soren Kierkegaard and Hans Christian Orsted. The Golden
Age, roughly spanning the first half of the nineteenth century,
produced defining images of a peaceful and ordered society as the
emerging Copenhagen bourgeoisie asserted a taste for portraits,
urban scenes and landscapes that embraced their lifestyles. Artists
such as Christen Kobke and C. W. Eckersberg turned their attentions
to the people, traditions and customs of their land, encapsulating
the quintessence of this celebrated period of cultural richness.
Danish Golden Age Painting examines the vital role played by the
visual arts within the wider context of the era's social,
political, intellectual, scientific, artistic and cultural
achievements. Drawing on the best of established and contemporary
Danish scholarship, it presents an innovative survey of Danish
Golden Age art.
