Masculinities in the US Hangout Sitcom examines how four sitcoms - Friends, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, and New Girl - mediate the tense relationship between neoliberalism and masculinities. Why is Ross in Friends so worried about everything? This book argues that the men in Friends and similar shows that follow young, straight, white twentysomethings in major US cities, are beset by a range of social and economic concerns about their place in society. Using multiple methods of analysis to examine these shows - including conjunctural analysis, historiographical method, and critical discourse analysis - a range of topics in these shows are examines, from sexuality through to homosociality, from race through to nationality. This book makes an insightful contribution to work on the television sitcom and on neoliberalism in culture and society. It will be an ideal resource for upper-level undergraduates, post-graduates, and researchers in a range of disciplines including television and screen studies, critical studies on men and masculinities and humor studies.

Water's flow constantly links life and death. It is the mediator between the two, and its surface provides a common frontier in nature where they meet. Death is continuously being overcome there." It is the living movement of water that makes life on earth possible. Based on spiritual science and on their own numerous experiments, Theodor and Wolfram Schwenk show that earth is a living organism and that water is its sense organ, which perceives vital cosmic influences and transmitting them to earthly life. The authors' approach to the current water and environmental crises goes beyond problem-oriented and piecemeal band-aid solutions; it suggests that we need a new and radical understanding of water, a revolutionary consciousness that we must reach if the earth is to remain alive. This pioneering classic on water is back in print and more relevant than ever before.
