Publisher: —
Description: It`s a story everyone thinks they know…about the young boy from the back streets of Belfast who grew up to be the most famous footballer in the world, a legend who was the first superstar of the sport but whose troubled personal life, as much as his sporting genius, came to dominate the headlines.

Our Gods Wear Spandex

2007 y.
Publisher: Weiser Books
Description: Was Superman`s arch nemesis Lex Luthor based on Aleister Crowley? Can Captain Marvel be linked to the Sun gods on antiquity? In Our Gods Wear Spandex, Christopher Knowles answers these questions and brings to light many other intriguing links between superheroes and the enchanted world of estoerica. Occult students and comic-book fans alike will discover countless fascinating connections, from little known facts such as that DC Comics editor Julius Schwartz started his career as H.P. Lovecraft`s agent, to the tantalizingly extensive influence of Madame Blavatsky`s Theosophy on the birth of comics, to the mystic roots of Superman. The book also traces the rise of the comic superheroes and how they relate to several cultural trends in the late 19th century, specifically the occult explosion in Western Europe and America. Knowles reveals the four basic superhero archetypes - the Messiah, the Golem, the Amazon, and the Brotherhood - and shows how the occult Bohemian underground of the… [detailed...]

John Kotter, Holger Rathgeber
Our Iceberg Is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions

2006 y.
Publisher: St. Martin`s Press
Description: Harvard Business School professor Kotter, author of the bestselling Leading Change (1996), teams up with executive Rathgeber to offer his contribution to the `business fable` genre. Kotter presents his framework for an effective corporate change initiative through the tale of a colony of Antarctic penguins facing danger-inspired, perhaps, by today`s real-life global warming crisis (or, perhaps, by March of the Penguins` box office). Under the leadership of one particularly astute bird, a small team of penguins with varied personalities and leadership skills implement a thoughtful plan for coaxing the other birds in their colony through a time of necessary but wrenching change. The logic of Kotter`s fictional framework is wobbly at times-his characters live and act very much like real penguins except that one carries a briefcase and another (`the Professor`) cites articles from scholarly journals-and the whimsical tone will not be to everyone`s taste. However, this light, quick read… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description From the award-winning author of The Gardens of Kyoto comes this witty and incisive novel about the lives and attitudes of a group of women -- once country-club housewives, today divorced, independent, and breaking the rules. In Our Kind, Kate Walbert masterfully conveys the dreams and reality of a group of women who came into the quick rush of adulthood, marriage, and child-bearing during the 1950s. Narrating from the heart of ten companions, Walbert subtly depicts all the anger, disappointment, vulnerability, and pride of her characters: `Years ago we were led down the primrose lane, then abandoned somewhere near the carp pond.` Now alone, with their own daughters grown, they are finally free -- and ready to take charge: from staging an intervention for the town deity to protesting the slaughter of the country club`s fairway geese, to dialing former lovers in the dead of night. Walbert`s writing is quick-witted and wry, just like her… [detailed...]

Description: `A point in case is his Our Lady of the Assassins, based on the autobiographical novel of one of Colombia`s best writers, Fernando Vallejo, whose work has yet to be translated into English and published in the United States. One of the most important new Latin American writers, Vallejo is famous in Colombia and Mexico, of course, and in France as well (where his writing has been compared to the best of Jean Genet`s), but is unknown in America. `Schroeder`s [film] Our Lady of the Assassins takes place in Medellin, Colombia, where Schroeder spent four years of his childhood, from age 6 to 10. It`s the story of a homosexual writer, possessed of a saturnine temperament, who, after living most of his life abroad, returns to his hometown to revisit the places of his youth. He falls in love with a young boy who packs a pistol but who would sooner kill a stranger than an injured dog.

Our Land Is Made Of Courage And Glory: Nationalist Performance Of Nicaragua And Guatemala (Theater in the Americas)

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionOur Land Is Made of Courage and Glory: Nationalist Performance of Nicaragua and Guatemala adds to a growing and timely body of work on nationalist drama. Examining important twentieth-century plays that few people have written about in English, E. J. Westlake analyzes the phenomenon of nation as performance by focusing on the definition of a people, national metaphors, and the uses of national history. Westlake discerns the common characteristics that constitute nationalist plays, a genre that seeks to legitimate the nature of a nation by defining its boundaries, race, language, citizens, and history. Particularly relevant in an era influenced by imperialism, migration, and globalization, the volume probes the concepts of nation and nationalism in the context of postcolonial literary and performance theory. Our Land Is Made of Courage and Glory covers the political and theatrical history of Nicaragua and Guatemala. Westlake examines how the blending of races… [detailed...]

Our Man in Malaya

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: When the Japanese invaded Malaya during World War II it seemed that John Davis`s service in the country had come to an end. But nothing could have been further from the truth. Davis switched from the Federated Malay States Police to the intelligence world, where he planned the infiltration of Chinese intelligence agents and British officers into the Malayan peninsula. Yet Davis was more than a wartime hero. A fluent Cantonese speaker, he became an iconic figure in Malaya`s colonial history when during the Communist Emergency he confronted Chin Peng, leader of the Communist Party. Margaret Shennan uncovers the radical and temperamental man whose propensity to challenge the decisions of his superior officers did not always make him an easy comrade, but whose courage and determination to get the job done won him loyalty and respect. Illustrated with Davis`s personal photographs, this is a story which truly deserves to be told. [detailed...]
