Pamela Anderson's blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in the 1990s. Discovered in the stands during a Canadian football game, she was quickly launched into superstardom, becoming Playboy's favourite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sex appeal. Yet the Pamela Anderson we think we know was created through happenstance rather than careful cultivation.
Love, Pamela brings forth her true story, that of a small town girl getting tangled up in her own dreams. Growing up on Vancouver Island, the daughter of young, wild, and unwittingly stylish parents, Pamela lived a hardscrabble childhood but developed a deep love for nature, populating her world with misfits, apparitional friends, and injured animals. Eventually overcoming her natural shyness, Pamela let her restless imagination propel her into a life few can dream of, in Hollywood and the Playboy Mansion. As her star rose, she found herself becoming a fixture of tabloid fodder, at the height of an era when paparazzi tactics were bent on destroying a person's image and self-esteem. Pamela forged ahead with grace, finding sanctuary in her love of art and literature, and emerged a devoted mother and activist.
Now, having returned to the island of her childhood, after a memorable run starring as Roxie in Chicago on Broadway, Pamela is telling her story, a story of an irrepressible free spirit coming home and discovering herself anew at every turn.
With vivid prose interspersed with bursts of original poetry, Love, Pamela is a pensive, layered, and unforgettable memoir.

Textbook for undergraduate or high school dance composition
courses. Resource for dancers and dance educators.
An unlikely pair of voices-the world's most recognizable beauty
icon and "America's rabbi"-comes together to diagnose how
meaningful, passionate sex is on the decline in Western culture,
and what is necessary to save it. Sex is dying in America.
Inundated with sex and starved for it, obsessed with it yet
clueless about it, we are slowly forgetting how to make love. The
crisis of modern sexuality is seen in high divorce rates, in the
degradation of sexuality through pornography, and tasteless
displays of empty, counterfeit erotica. Most of all, it's seen in
sexless marriages and platonic relationships where cybersex has
become more addictive than the real thing. Sex has become so
trivialized, coarsened, and vulgarized that couples no longer feel
its pull. The once powerful and irresistible magnetism of sex is
being diluted and drained. The authors propose replacing the 1960s'
sexual revolution with a new sensual revolution, a rediscovery of
intimacy that encourages and ennobles human relationships, elevates
healthy lust, and gets us from looking up from the glowing screens
of our smartphones to the people around us, most especially the
people we love the most. LUST FOR LOVE embraces the idea that what
our most important relationships need most is lust. It is necessary
to rediscover what's sexy again, how to bring back romance, and to
understand that in addition to love, we need lust to repair our
unfulfilling sex lives and broken relationships. LUST FOR LOVE
proposes a return to what lovemaking was always meant to be: a
desire to know and experience another person in the deepest
possible way.

Pamela Anderson's life is the stuff of fairy tales and centerfolds.
A champagne blonde who was discovered by a beer company, she moved
from model to Playmate, from actress to star...and now she can add
New York Times bestselling author to her resume. Star is a
breathless romp through tinseltown and tabloids. An insider's look

novel goes beyond the air kisses and velvet ropes to show what
really happens when A-list meets D-cup, when small-town girl gets
all glittered up and becomes a star.
This collection of essays is dedicated to the prolific career of
Paul Ricoeur. In his lifetime, Ricoeur made significant
contributions to many fields, such as theology, aesthetics,
narratology, linguistics, and of course, philosophy. Within
philosophy alone, he engaged many currents of thoughts, always
providing careful and faithful analyses of philosophers while
adding his own unique perspectives. Many essays in this anthology
revisit Ricoeur's own works, carefully placing him in his
philosophical context, while providing new interpretations of
questions that mattered to Ricoeur, such as imagination,
forgiveness, justice, and memory. Other essays, honoring Ricoeur's
own approach, bring him to dialogue with new questions, such as
globalization, technology, and national memorials.
