Randy Rosen is a confirmed womanizer and proud of it. To his
thinking, the female sex are much more fun than men, more subtle,
more imaginative, and much braver. In fact, he'd rather hang out
with a group of women, exploring their liminal and subliminal
messages, than sit in a smoky bar with a bunch of guys. Randy
wasn't always this way. A shy young honor student, he became
involved in a torrid teenage affair, one that ended in catastrophic
betrayal. When he attended college and later moved to New York,
independent women suddenly surrounded him. Now, Randy has built a
successful, international business, allowing him to travel all over
the world. And the biggest perk? He gets to meet women. Lots and
"lots" of women. For seventy years, Randy pursues love and lust in
some of the globe's most exciting cities: London, Tokyo, Manila,
Bangkok and even Tel Aviv. But what happens when age starts to make
it a bit more difficult to keep up the chase? From the sexual
antics in exotic bedrooms and boudoirs to the intimacy and trust of
deep relationships, "Womanizer" is a rollicking tale of one man's
adventures pursuing (and being pursued by) women throughout the
world.
Planning a hunting or fishing vacation can be a daunting task. How
do you make sure that you are booking a lodge that is clean, has
good food, and is well managed? How about that guide? Does he
really know where the best lakes for large mouth bass or trout are
located? Now you can rest assured that you will be in good hands
when you take your hunting and fishing trips. Bass Pro Shops, the
largest outdoor retail chain in the U.S., know the people who are
expert trackers, fishermen and women, and outfitters. They are
passing along these pearls of information in one complete book.
Everything from price to license requirements and bag limits, even
the history of the lodges is included! Not content with focusing on
one country, Marv Fremerman has included countries around the world
known for their spectacular scenery and impressive hunting and
fishing locales. Some of the countries included are the U. S.,
Canada, Bahamas, U. S. Virgin Islands, Argentina, Belize, Brazil,
Chile, Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico, Australia, Norway, Russia and
even safari trips in Africa and the Far East. From hunting
whitetails to grouse, from fishing for trout to perch, this book
offers a complete directory of lodges, guides and outfitters for
the outdoorsman or woman who doesn't want to spend their vacation
cursing the bad information they received.
Covid-19 has revealed glaring failures and monstrous brutalities in
the current capitalist system. It represents both a crisis and an
opportunity. Everything depends on the actions that people take
into their own hands.' How does politics shape our world, our lives
and our perceptions? How much of 'common sense' is actually driven
by the ruling classes' needs and interests? And how are we to
challenge the capitalist structures that now threaten all life on
the planet? Consequences of Capitalism exposes the deep, often
unseen connections between neoliberal 'common sense' and structural
power. In making these linkages, we see how the current hegemony
keeps social justice movements divided and marginalized. And, most
importantly, we see how we can fight to overcome these divisions.
The story of the Ink Spots is a rags-to-riches story beloved in
American mythology. The success of the Ink Spots inspired many
others to attempt (some merely mimicking) their popular and musical
success. They were, without question, the most influential black
vocal group of the 1940s, and one of the earliest to sing "sweet
ballads," which they elevated to an art form (although an
increasingly formulaic one). Goldberg gets behind the streamers and
glitter of the Ink Spots and the publicity machines of record
labels, and provides the story of the group's creation, its music,
and its monumental impact on the course of American music. More
Than Words Can Say uncovers the mythos and origins of the Ink
Spots, from the dramatic stories of finding the band name, to the
dozens of individuals who still claim to be original members of the
group. Goldberg interviews some of the singers, musicians, and
arrangers associated with the original Ink Spots who provide
invaluable first-hand accounts of the group. The book discusses the
musical environment of the Ink Spots, including the ASCAP/BMI War,
gas rationing, War of the Record Speeds, vinyl shortages, and all
the lawsuits. Additionally, Goldberg has searched tirelessly
through Billboard magazine and theater reviews to get a sense of
the Ink Spots' contemporary reception. Also included is a
bibliography of sources and a complete alphabetical listing of Ink
Spots recordings released on Decca or Victor labels. A fascinating
story filled with excellently researched information and exciting
anecdotes, Goldberg's text brings out the "authentic" story of the
Ink Spots, from their origins in the early 1930s through the
tumultuous recording world of 1940s and 1950s America.
Batman readers were allowed to vote on the outcome of the story and
they decided that Robin should die! As the second person to assume
the role of Batman's sidekick, Jason Todd had a completely
different personality than the original Robin. Rash and prone to
ignore Batman's instructions, Jason was always quick to act without
regard to consequences. In this fatal instance, Robin ignores his
mentor's warnings when he attempts to take on the Joker by himself
and pays the ultimate price. Driven by anger with Superman by his
side, Batman seeks his vengeance as he looks to end the Joker's
threat forever.

An essential primer on capitalism, politics and how the world works,
based on the hugely popular undergraduate lecture series 'What is
Politics?'
Is there an alternative to capitalism? In this landmark text Chomsky
and Waterstone chart a critical map for a more just and sustainable
society.
'Covid-19 has revealed glaring failures and monstrous brutalities in
the current capitalist system. It represents both a crisis and an
opportunity. Everything depends on the actions that people take into
their own hands.'
How does politics shape our world, our lives and our perceptions? How
much of 'common sense' is actually driven by the ruling classes' needs
and interests? And how are we to challenge the capitalist structures
that now threaten all life on the planet?
Consequences of Capitalism exposes the deep, often unseen connections
between neoliberal 'common sense' and structural power. In making these
linkages, we see how the current hegemony keeps social justice
movements divided and marginalized. And, most importantly, we see how
we can fight to overcome these divisions.
Christian adolescents in the 21st century face pretty much the same
situations as the first-century Christians in Corinth did -- an
indulgent, profligate, choose-your-own-god society. The latest in
the Creative Bible Lessons series, Creative Bible Lessons in 1
& 2 Corinthians is a 12-lesson curriculum with an
issues-oriented spin on living one's faith in the real world. It
lets teenagers wrestle with the tension between biblical
instruction and cultural realities. These 12 studies about the
not-so-easily-tamed people of Corinth and their founding pastor
Paul of Tarsus pave the way for youth workers and Sunday school
teachers to teach high schoolers about conversion, transformation,
failure, leadership, authority, and God's constant saving love even
in the midst of people making a mess of things. Here are some of
the not-so-ancient issues you'll explore in this study: Give Me
Liberty or Give Me Love, Friends Don't Let Friends Go Unforgiven,
Those Pesky STDs (Sexually Tough Decisions), Love Is . . ., No Easy
Answers, Show Me the Money, and Ouch! Of course, there's lots of
what the Creative bible Lessons series is known for: provocative
and relevant discussion starters, to-the-point scripts, high-energy
games, reproducible pages of interactive activities -- all in the
context of hard-core Bible study. 12 lessons.
Written by Marv Wolfman; Art by George Perez and others This is the
story that changed the DC Universe forever. A mysterious being
known as the Anti-Monitor has begun a crusade across time to bring
about the end of all existence. As alternate earths are
systematically destroyed, the Monitor quickly assembles a team of
super-heroes from across time and space to battle his counterpart
and stop the destruction. DC's greatest heroes including Superman,
Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Aquaman, assemble to stop
the menace, but as they watch both the Flash and Supergirl die in
battle, they begin to wonder if even all of the heroes in the world
can stop this destructive force.
All the greatest DC heroes from across time and space join forces
to stop a being more powerful than any they've ever faced--a
mysterious being known as the Anti-Monitor who has begun a crusade
across time to bring about the end of all existence. First
published in 1985, Crisis on Infinite Earths is an unforgettable
and defining event in comics history, a 12-issue series that rocked
the comics community, tragically dooming some of DC's most beloved
characters and drastically altering others. From writer Marv
Wolfman and artist George Perez, Crisis on Infinite Earths finds
the alternate worlds that once were a hallmark of the DC Universe
under siege by a mysterious force powerful enough to wipe out the
lives of billions. Collects all 12 issues of the landmark series.
Drawing up alternate ways to "make a living" beyond capitalism To
live in this world is to be conditioned by capital. Once paired
with Western democracy, unfettered capitalism has led to a
shrinking economic system that squeezes out billions of
people-creating a planet of surplus populations. Wageless Life is a
manifesto for building a future beyond the toxic failures of
late-stage capitalism. Daring to imagine new social relations, new
modes of economic existence, and new collective worlds, the authors
provide skills and tools for perceiving-and living in- a
post-capitalist future. Forerunners: Ideas First Short books of
thought-in-process scholarship, where intense analysis,
questioning, and speculation take the lead
