Celebrity, Aspiration and Contemporary Youth uses the lens of
celebrity to explore how young people think about their futures
under austerity. Based on an interdisciplinary study, the book
offers fresh insights into contemporary youth aspirations and
inequalities. It helps us to understand young people's transitions
into adulthood at a time of socio-economic 'crisis'. Drawing on
original data, the authors examine what it means for young people
to be forming their aspirations within the context of 'austere
meritocracy'. The book addresses three central questions: What
kinds of futures do young people desire and imagine for themselves?
What is required of young people in the process of achieving these
futures? And how are inequalities embedded and reproduced within
these? Using young people's 'celebrity talk' to explore their
aspirations, the authors challenge stereotypes of young people as a
fame-hungry, get-rich-quick generation. Instead, they show how
young people engage critically with celebrity and its discourses.
Key chapters focus on how young people talk about youth, work,
authenticity, success, happiness, money and fame in relation to
their own lives and those of celebrities. Each of these chapters
contains a case study of an international celebrity, including,
Beyonce, Will Smith, Bill Gates, Prince Harry and Kim Kardashian.
The authors conclude with possibilities for social change. They
show that celebrity offers an important way of working with young
people to critically explore what futures are possible and for
whom.
Asheville Bee Charmer, opened in 2014 by beekeepers Jillian Kelly
and Kim Allen, has become a destination for both local foodies and
tourists. This honey purveyor, located in one of the most
pollinator-friendly parts of the United States, offers a range of
bee-related products and more than 50 different artisanal honey
varietals—each with its own unique color, texture, and taste.
Inspired by the vast honey selection available behind the Honey
Bar, chef Carrie Schloss has created The Asheville Bee Charmer
Cookbook, a collection featuring 130 recipes, 20 honey varietals,
and 8 special Bee Charmer blends. With a color, aroma, and tasting
guide to honey varietals and dishes like Bee Pollen Nut Brittle,
Chipotle Honey–Marinated Skirt Steak, and Milk and Honey Dinner
Rolls, this cookbook proves that honey is the best way to season or
sweeten your next meal. Schloss writes with the home cook in mind,
packing complex, surprising flavors into recipes written in clear,
accessible prose, and the recipes are accompanied by beautiful
full-color photography throughout.
TAKE A JOURNEY INTO THE HEART OF GOD! For many thousands of years
people from all walks of life throughout the many cultures of
history have used poetry to express the depth of human emotion and
hope. There is no communication that is as profound as conversing
with God, telling Him what we think or feel, and hearing Him
respond to us in a loving and kind way. Is this really possible?
Absolutely! God Himself is very poetic, and as the Creator of
poetic verse, He naturally draws us to Himself when we express our
hearts in this manner. Take a journey into the Heart of God, and
discover what author Kim Allen Akers discovered, that God is a very
caring God. Allow Him to give you a poetic glimpse of the amazing
love and affection He has for you!
