With her signature candor and wit, New York Times bestselling author Caitlin Moran attempts to answer society’s weirdly unasked question: What About Men?
Like anyone who discusses the problems of girls and women in public, Caitlin Moran has often been confronted with the question: “But what about men?” And at first, tbh, she dgaf. Boys, and men, are fine, right? Feminism doesn’t need to worry about them.
However, around the time she heard an angry young man saying he was “boycotting” International Women’ Day because “It's easier to be a woman than a man these days,” she started to wonder: are unhappy boys, and men, also making unhappy women? The statistics on male misery are grim: boys are falling behind in school, are at greater risk of depression, greater risk of suicide, and, most pertinently, are increasingly at risk from online misogynist radicalization. Will the Sixth Wave of feminism need to fix the men, if it wants to fix the women?
Moran began to investigate—talking to her husband, close male friends, and her daughters' friends: bringing up very difficult and candid topics, and receiving vulnerable and honest responses. So: what about men? Why do they only go to the doctor if their partner makes them? Why do they never discuss their penises with each other—but make endless jokes about their balls? What is porn doing for young men? Is sexual strangling a good hobby for young people to have? Are men ever allowed to be sad? Are they ever allowed to lose? Have Men's Rights Activists confused “power” with “empowerment”? Are Mid-Life Crises actually quite cool? And what’s the deal with Jordan Peterson’s lobster?
In this thoughtful, warm, provocative book, Moran opens a genuinely new debate about how to reboot masculinity for the twenty-first century, so that “straight white man” doesn’t automatically mean bad news—but also uses the opportunity to make a lot of jokes about testicles, and trousers. Because if men have neither learned to mine their deepest anxieties about masculinity for comedy, nor answered the question “What About Men?,” then it’s up to a busy woman to do it.

Jodie Whittaker stars in this London-set psychological thriller.
Mia (Whittaker) is an emotionally fragile young nurse struggling to
come to terms with her mother's recent death. When an old woman in
her building commits suicide in front of her, Mia becomes intensely
curious about her. Admitted into the old woman's flat by the
mysterious caretaker, Max (David Warner), Mia is shocked to
discover that it is filled with mementoes and belongings from Mia's
own past, including pictures of her abusive former lover Ludwig
(Dougray Scott). So begins a journey into her past in which Mia
finally learns to accept her own mistakes and faults, including her
strong affection for the partner who hurt her, even as she tries to
avoid the tragic ending that fate appears to have in store for her.
Emilia Fox co-stars.
Diana Moran leads this low-impact workout programme for people of
all ages and abilities. The workout, which now includes facial
exercises, is designed to help the user maintain a balanced
lifestyle and allows for different levels of mobility as it
includes chair-based exercises.
Michael Moran is fascinated by the thinkers he discusses. But
unlike most of them, he has no illusion that philosophy can do the
work of science and be even a minor source of factual knowledge.
Moreover, being highly speculative, it is unlikely that most
philosophy will reveal more to us about the `nature of reality'
than, say, imaginative literature. Among other things, the author
considers both where the usefulness, and indeed the dangers, of
philosophy may lie and how, as an academic subject, it might be
practised. `I have written this volume not primarily for fellow
academics but for anyone who is really interested in modern
philosophy and who would like to know what another thoughtful
reader has made of it. In other words, I still cling to the hope
that there must somewhere exist an intelligent readership outside
the routines of academia itself, consisting of individuals who are
deeply concerned with ideas, are already reasonably informed, but
feel the need for more stimulus. This book is primarily meant for
them.' (Introduction, p. 9) Sir Isaiah Berlin, commenting on the
author's article on Coleridge: `It seems to me to be one of the
most perceptive pieces on Coleridge that I have ever read in
English.'
The twenty chapters of the book are divided into three parts. Part
One contains the leading essay in the book, `Metaphysical
Imagination', a study of two complex concepts that have been of
great importance in our understanding of both science and
philosophy, together with an essay on how the writings of past
philosophers are to be understood. The essays in Part Two are
individual studies of some of the most influential European
thinkers of the nineteenth century. While Hegel, Nietzsche and the
continental tradition of Dialectical Thought might appear to have
little in common with the English tradition of Mill, Bentham and
Coleridge, the author points to the similarities as well as the
differences. Part Three has essays on major twentieth century
thinkers: Benedetto Croce, Bertrand Russell, Ernst Cassirer, Ortega
y Gasset, C.J. Jung and J.P. Sartre, and a chapter in which the
author gives a fascinating account of his personal relations with
Sir Isaiah Berlin. Berlin once wrote to the author thanking him for
a review which, he said, `is at once the most generous,
penetrating, interesting and to me ... unbelievably welcome review
of anything I have ever written... It shows more Einfuhlung into
the character and purpose of what I think and believe than anyone
has ever shown.' (p. 657, chapter 18 of this book) In the final two
essays of Part Three the author considers the nature of philosophy.
He is critical of certain movements in current philosophical
thought, and, unlike many of the thinkers that he discusses, he
does not believe that philosophy can be a source of factual
knowledge or that it can reveal some 'true essence' of reality. He
sets out his own view of what philosophy is, and the implications
of this view for the teaching of the subject.

From the vantage point of many in the West, Africa remains a
continent of woe a place stalked by ethnic conflict, corrupt
dictatorships, religious strife, war and famine. But today, at
last, the flawed mythology that treats Africa as a homogenous
disaster area is being challenged by investors, economists, fund
managers and academics. Age is not often associated with speed; but
Africa, the cradle of civilisation, now has more of the world s
fastest-growing economies than any other. After a generation of
relative stagnation in the late 20th Century, many in Africa have
begun the long-awaited period of catch-up with the developed world.
The bottom billion is becoming the fastest billion. This book, the
work of a group of African economists and highly respected analysts
from Renaissance Capital, the leading emerging markets investment
bank, aims to accelerate the world s realisation that Africa has no
intention of allowing the coming decades to add up to an Asian
Century . Africa s day has arrived. Proceeds from the sale of this
book will be donated to Ashesi University, Ghana. www.ashesi.edu.gh

What distinguishes modern tragedy from other forms of drama? How
does it relate to contemporary political and social conditions? To
what ends have artists employed the tragic form in different
locations during the 20th century? Partly motivated by the urgency
of our current situation in an age of ecocidal crisis, Modern
Tragedy encompasses a variety of drama from throughout the 20th
century. James Moran begins this book with John Millington Synge's
Riders to the Sea (1904), which shows how environmental awareness
might be expressed through tragic drama. Moran also looks at
Brecht's reworking of Synge's drama in the 1937 play Senora
Carrar's Rifles, and situates Brecht's script in the light of the
theatre practitioner's broader ideas about tragedy. Brecht's tragic
thinking - informed by Hegel and Marx - is contrasted with the
Schopenhauerian approach of Samuel Beckett. The volume goes on to
examine theatre makers whose ideas were partly motivated by
applying an understanding of the tragic narrative of Synge's Riders
to the Sea to postcolonial contexts. Looking at Derek Walcott's The
Sea at Dauphin (1954), and J.P. Clark's The Goat (1961), Modern
Tragedy explores how tragedy, a form that is often associated with
regressive assumptions about hegemony, might be rethought, and how
aspects of the tragic may coincide with the experiences and
concerns of authors and audiences of colour.
