In 78 vibrant works by 62 gifted contributors, Jewish girls, young
women, and nonbinary teens voice their celebrations and challenges,
their anger and their eagerness in essays, poetry, and visual art.
And their themes are universal, touching on childhood,
spirituality, sexuality, race, family, friends, and the world
around us.We are writers, editors, photographers, and artists. We
are multiethnic, multiracial, and multifaceted. We are nourished by
the sweet honey and harsh salt of our lives. Although we are often
misunderstood, we find strength within ourselves and our
communities. This book elevates our stories as we honor the past,
explore the present, and look toward the future. Through poetry,
fiction, essays, and art, we make our voices heard. "Within these
pages is a representation of the Jewish community at its best: a
diversity of voices and experiences; a rigorous commitment to
challenging the status quo; creativity; humor and heartbreak;
suffering and joy. That such an invigorating and affirming work was
produced by the teens of jGirls Magazine is proof that they've
learned a very important lesson early in life: nobody can tell your
story but you." --Molly Tolsky, from the Foreword to Salt &

What They Didn' t Teach You in Your Screenwriting Course
Screenwriters, listen up Breakfast with Sharks is not a book about
the craft of screenwriting. This is a book about the business of
managing your screenwriting career, from advice on choosing an
agent to tips on juggling three deal-making breakfasts a day.
Prescriptive and useful, Breakfast with Sharks is a real guide to
navigating the murky waters of the Hollywood system.
Unlike most of the screenwriting books available, here' s one that
tells you what to do after you' ve finished your surefire-hit
screenplay. Written from the perspective of Michael Lent, an
in-the-trenches working screenwriter in Hollywood, this is a
real-world look into the script-to-screen business as it is
practiced today.
Breakfast with Sharks is filled with useful advice on everything
from the ins and outs of moving to Los Angeles to understanding
terms like " spec, " " option, " and " assignment." Here you' ll
learn what to expect from agents and managers and who does what in
the studio hierarchy. And most important, Breakfast with Sharks
will help you nail your pitch so the studio exec can' t say no.
Rounded out with a Q& A section and resource lists of script
competitions, film festivals, trade associations, industry
publications, and more, Breakfast with Sharks is chock-full of "
take this and use it right now" information for screenwriters at
any stage of their careers.
From floating ice to snowstorms - meet the adrenalin junkie and
death-defying star of the History Channel and Five USA's hit show
ICE ROAD TRUCKERS. Every year a fleet of men travel to the Arctic
Circle, a region heavily endowed with natural resources. Locating
the abundance of natural gas, conflict-free diamonds and gold is
relatively easy - but extracting and transporting these goods is
another matter entirely. The truckers picked to deliver these
precious commodities spend two months traveling hundreds of miles
on a naturally formed road of ice. It is one of the most dangerous
jobs in the world. For more than 20 years, Hugh Rowland has
survived the ice roads like no other. Known by the ice road
trucking community as 'The Polar Bear' - a reference to his
legendary stamina, strong personality, bearish attitude and prowess
on the ice - Rowland has performed amazing feats and survived
spectacular wrecks to become the undisputed king of the ice road
truckers. Each year when the temperature plummets to -70 DegreesC,
Rowland leaves his family, home and successful excavation business
north of Vancouver, Canada, to drive 1900 miles to Yellowknife,
where he throttles up for another ice road season. ON THIN ICE
traces the history of ice road trucking, the preparation for the
trek and follows Rowland through his nine week journey across the
infamous Ice Road. From the first snowstorm to the final thaw, this
adrenalin-filled book follows his journey to the edge of endurance
and back. It's an extraordinary look at an extreme life.
Michael Lent asks what role art has in colonisation and subsequent
dissolution. He proposes a practice informed by the fatal
strategies and 'raw' phenomenology of Jean Baudrillard as a
challenge to a system of disappearance. Focusing on the otherness
of space to prevent its ultimate dissolution, Lent promotes a
spatial practice of radical alterity. Examining ideas of
disappearance put forth by Baudrillard and Paul Virilio, he
utilises art as a means for investigating loss of potentiality and
experience through the representation of space, shifting their
ideas - originally ascribed to objects - into a new emphasis. This
book ultimately attempts to break a cyclical system that causes
everything to disappear into representation and equivalency.
