H. P. Lovecraft
Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos

1998 y.
Publisher: Del Rey
Description: Howard Phillips Lovecraft forever changed the face of horror, fantasy, and science fiction with a remarkable series of stories as influential as the works of Poe, Tolkien, and Edgar Rice Burroughs. His chilling mythology established a gateway between the known universe and an ancient dimension of otherworldly terror, whose unspeakable denizens and monstrous landscapes-dread Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, the Plateau of Leng, the Mountains of Madness-have earned him a permanent place in the history of the macabre. In Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, a pantheon of horror and fantasy`s finest authors pay tribute to the master of the macabre with a collection of original stories set in the fearsome Lovecraft tradition: - The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft: The slumbering monster-gods return to the world of mortals. - Notebook Found in a Deserted House by Robert Bloch: A lone farmboy chronicles his last stand against a hungering backwoods evil. - Cold Print by… [detailed...]

Idries Shah
Tales of the Dervishes

1993 y.
Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics)
Description: A mysterious chest is buried unopened. A wondrous caravan brings fortune to a simple cobbler. An outcast princess creates a new life in the wilderness. Some of the 78 tales in this remarkable book first appeared in print over a thousand years ago, others are medieval classics. Yet, each has a special relevance for us in the 21st century. All are told with Idries Shah`s distinctive wit and grace and the author`s own commentary notes. Although enormously attractive as sheer entertainment, dervish tales were never presented merely on the level of fable, legend or folklore. They stand comparison in wit, construction and piquancy with the finest stories of any culture, yet their true function as Sufi teaching stories is so little known in the modern world that no technical or popular term exist to describe them. For centuries, dervish masters have instructed their disciples by means of these tales, which are held to convey powers of increasing perception unknown to the… [detailed...]

John Van Maanen
Tales of the Field: On Writing Ethnography

1988 y.
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Description: Once upon a time ethnographers returning from the field simply sat down, shuffled their note cards, and wrote up their descriptions of the exotic and quaint customs they had observed. Today scholars in all disciplines are realizing how their research is presented is at least as important as what is presented. Questions of voice, style, and audience-the classic issues of rhetoric-have come to the forefront in academic circles. John Van Maanen, an experienced ethnographer of modern organizational structures, is one who believes that the real work begins when he returns to his office with cartons of notes and tapes. In `Tales of the Field` he offers readers a survey of the narrative conventions associated with writing about culture and an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of various styles. He introduces first the matter-of-fact, realistic report of classical ethnography, then the self-absorbed confessional tale of the participant-observer, and finally the dramatic… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionZealotry has many forms of madness, and the Taliban are no exception. In the Toyota Land Cruiser abandoned in Kandahar by Mullah Omar, the man who banned music on pain of prison and torture, was found a cache of popular music CDs. Kandahar, a city of Pashtuns noted for their gaiety, so to speak, where Mullah Omar had made his final headquarters, has traditions of men in high-heeled sandals, with make-up of kohl and painted nails like sultry silent-movie stars. They liked to have their pictures taken and, because the Taliban most certainly needed passports, their vanities were accomodated in the hole-in-the-wall photo shops that exist in downtown Kandahar. The Magnum photographer Thomas Dworzak, on war assignment for the New Yorker, discovered their photographs days after they had fled the city. They hung among portraits of Bruce Lee, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ahmed Shah Massoud, their faces retouched by the artful brushwork of the photographer. As exotic… [detailed...]

Talk Radio Wants You: An Intimate Guide to 700 Shows and How to Get Invited

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Talk radio can be one of the most effective ways of promoting a new book, business, product, or personal story. It`s fast, it`s easy, and, for the most part, it`s free. But for all of talk radio`s benefits, there is one significant challenge facing prospective talk radio guests: trying to get on the show. While smaller, terrestrial radio stations are more likely to accept and respond to guests` requests, these stations are also far more likely to have websites that are poorly designed or infrequently maintained. More often than not, these sites contain little information regarding guest criteria or procedures, and many don`t even specify whether or not the show welcomes guests at all.This book seeks to bridge the gap between show hosts and prospective guests, providing a reference guide to roughly 700 talk radio shows from the U.S. and around the world. Based on interviews and submissions from the radio hosts themselves, it provides readers with all of the information they will need… [detailed...]
