Описание: In 1990, the ground-breaking television series Twin Peaks, co-created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, opened with a murder mystery when a beautiful homecoming queen, wrapped in plastic, washed up on a cold and rocky beach. Laura Palmers character began as a plot device that triggered a small town to face its fractured self. But after three seasons and a film, Laura Palmer is no longer just a plot device. Instead of solely focusing on the murderer, like most traditional storytelling at the time, the audience gets to know the victim, a complex young woman who explores her sexuality and endures incredible abuse. This is an examination of Laura Palmers legacy on the 30th anniversary of Twin Peaks. Palmers character was one of the few frank and horrific representations of sexual abuse victims which did not diminish the strength and complexity of the victim. Sheryl Lee, who played Laura Palmer, discusses the challenges of the role and how it has impacted herself as well as women she has met over the years, many of whom are survivors of sexual abuse. The role demanded that Lee give all her vulnerability as an actor to this role. This role is one she cannot escape, one with which she will forever be identified. It was a role that still haunts her today. For many women, this character represents them. Here was a woman who was not just a victim, but who was owning her sexuality as well -- a woman coming into her own and discovering her sources of power. This book is a reckoning in which women from the show and community speak about grief, mischief, humour, sexuality, strength, weakness, wickedness, and survival.

Russia, 1937. In Moscow, Stalin's purges are reaching their darkest hour. Meanwhile Korolev, a police investigator, must travel to the bleak, battle-scarred Ukraine - scene of some of Stalin's bloodiest crimes - to look into the mysterious death of a young woman.
The victim, a beautiful film production assistant, had made both powerful friends and terrible enemies . . .
'The Holy Thief, set in Stalin's Russia, was one of last year's most impressive crime fiction debuts. The Bloody Meadow, William Ryan's follow-up, does not disappoint . .
. Ryan has obviously done much research into that sinister period of Russian history and manages to convey its claustrophobic atmosphere brilliantly' Marcel Berlins, The Times 'Every bit as darkly compelling as its predecessor' Daily Express 'An outstanding thriller' Independent IrelandFollowing his investigations in The Holy Thief, which implicated those at the very top of authority in Soviet Russia, Captain Alexei Korolev finds himself decorated and hailed as an example to all Soviet workers. But Korolev lives in an uneasy peace - his new-found knowledge is dangerous, and if it is discovered what his real actions were during the case, he will face deportation to the frozen camps of the far north.
But when the knock on the door comes, in the dead of night, it is not Siberia Korolev is destined for. Instead, Colonel Rodinov of the NKVD security service asks the detective to look into the suspected suicide of a young woman: Maria Alexandovna Lenskaya, a model citizen. Korolev is unnerved to learn that Lenskaya had been of interest to Ezhov, the feared Commissar for State Security.
Ezhov himself wants to matter looked into. And when the detective arrives on the set for Bloody Meadow, in the bleak, battle-scarred Ukraine, he soon discovers that there is more to Lenskaya's death than meets the eye . .
"The idea behind the book came as a result of a conversation I was having with a friend of mine. She had been through a really frustrating two-year renovation project and she simply said Troy, you need to do this. Trust me, people will welcome the opportunity to have less stress and save time and money while actually enjoy the process of building or renovating." Turns out she was right. "People can't be expected to understand all aspects of construction, yet when they build or renovate without an advocate they are put in a difficult position to do just that". Troy believes his book and new service offering will be a welcomed approach not only for clients but builders as well " I actually think builders will appreciate the book as a tool and my role as an advocate because it will help eliminate confusion, set realistic expectations and keep projects running on time and on budget, which ultimately leads to the best possible outcome for everyone". Stallings also says his book can help ease stress and bring some fun back into the process. He acknowledges that most people are just too busy to really enjoy the journey. "It can get really stressful and things can fall apart fast". He says having an advocate, someone who's only job is to look out for you, changes the game. "Even if you have hired a reputable builder and designer, it never hurts to have an added layer of protection to make sure your best interests are being served". According to Stallings "this book takes you on the journey of the build. It will help guide you in basic terms - its building and renovating made easier, who doesn't want that".
Page-a-day daily affirmations from the Bible with space for readers to enter their own daily thoughts. The book aims to inspire readers to conquer negative issues with positive thinking and action.

Attention, shoppers Today's special is murder
The Minimum Wage Manhunter is back, bagging groceries and a killer. After solving a murder at his last low-paying job, 20-year-old Li Johnson thought he would never see a corpse again. Unemployed and flat broke, Li catches a lucky break when kindly supermarket clerk Reuben Rodriguez gets him a job at Esther's Family Grocery. But when a customer is found bludgeoned to death in the spice aisle, the evidence suggests that Li's new friend and benefactor might be the murderer.
Determined to clear Reuben's name, Li sets out to find what really happened to the shopper in aisle six. But getting the truth will force Li to match wits against the city's shadowy political boss and a homicide detective who hates amateur sleuths. Can a lowly grocery clerk uncover a secret that powerful people want hidden? Once again, Li Johnson delivers fresh value to the mystery genre.
Описание: From the shutdown of Planned Parenthood clinics and the rising rates of HIV to anti-marriage equality and bathroom bills, the New South is the epicenter of the new sex wars. Issues of reproductive freedom, HIV/AIDS, partner rights and transgender rights reveal a new and unacknowledged era of southern reconstruction centered on gender and sexuality.
In A Dirty South Manifesto, L.H. Stallings confronts us with the roots of this radical sexual resistance in the New South, one that is anti-racist, decolonial, and transnational. For people within these economically disenfranchised segments of society, the sexually and gender marginalized, and the racially oppressed, the south has been a sexual dystopia. Throughout this short book, Stallings offers several hard-hitting manifestoes for the new sex wars. With her focus on black, contemporary southern life, Stallings offers a calling for anyone who has ever imagined a way of living beyond white supremacist heteropatriarchy.

Описание: "A virtuosic, witty, charming translation of the greatest epic ever written about mice, with wonderful illustrations by Grant Silverstein. Stallings' elegant rhyming couplets are the perfect choice to honor the mousy Muse."--Emily Wilson, Professor of Classics, University of Pennsylvania "Stallings' translation of this ancient epic is a delight: charming, witty, and vividly alive, with buoyant rhymes and eye-catching illustrations. I suspect this will become a beloved addition in many home libraries."--Madeline Miller, bestselling author of Circe From the award-winning poet and translator A. E. Stallings comes a lively new edition of the ancient Greek fable The Battle between the Frogs and the Mice. Originally attributed to Homer, but now thought to have been composed centuries later by an unknown author, The Battle is the tale of a mouse named Crumbsnatcher who is killed by the careless frog King Pufferthroat, sparking a war between the two species. This dark but delightful parable about the foolishness of war is illustrated throughout in striking drawings by Grant Silverstein.
The clever introduction is written from the point of view of a mouse who argues that perhaps the unknown author of the fable is not a human after all: "Who better than a mouse, then, to compose our diminutive, though not ridiculous, epic, a mouse born and bred in a library, living off lamp oil, ink, and the occasional nibble of a papyrus, constantly perched on the shoulder of some scholar or scholiast of Homer, perhaps occasionally whispering in his ear? Mouse, we may remember, is only one letter away from Muse."
The message the world hears from the church in America is confusing. Many of us have drifted so far from biblical teaching that those seeking our help cannot find it in the church. The picture of God we present is so removed from biblical truth that even our own children are without foundation and are leaving in great numbers. I do not believe the non-churched world has rejected biblical truth, but rather have never heard the compelling, unfiltered gospel truth preached with love. When we discard the biblical text and do not teach it to our people we give away the power to truly help those needing the church. The church must make Her own peace with God before the world can hear the voice of God from the church.
Old Stories & Forgotten Lessons is a storybook written for adults from the book of Genesis, covering the first of the four historical divisions in the Old Testament. Each story is set in time and place and is complete in itself and each contains lessons for living as God's people in a secular world.

Описание: A stunning new collection by the award-winning young poet and translator.
An absorbing portrait of a groundbreaking Black woman filmmaker.
Kathleen Collins (1942-88) was a visionary and influential Black filmmaker. Beginning with her short film The Cruz Brothers and Miss Malloy and her feature film Losing Ground, Collins explored new dimensions of what narrative film could and should do. However, her achievements in filmmaking were part of a greater life project.
The Afterlives of Kathleen Collins: A Black Woman Filmmaker's Search for New Life showcases how Collins used filmmaking, writing, and teaching to assert herself as a polycreative dedicated to asking and answering difficult philosophical questions about human being and living. Interrogating the ideological foundation of life-writing and cinematic life-writing as they intersect with race and gender, L. H. Stallings intervenes on the delimited concepts of life and Black being that impeded wider access to and production and distribution of Collins's creative writing, cinematic vision, and remarkable pedagogy. Contextualizing Collins's meditations on life within the arc of Black Diaspora Cinema and diaspora literacy, The Afterlives of Kathleen Collins examines the filmmaker's unproduced film scripts Women, Sisters, and Friends, Only the Sky Is Free, and But Then She Is Madame Flor as threats to Hollywood genre films about love. Buttressed by personal papers, interviews, film scholarship, feminist theory and criticism, literary and performance scholarship, philosophy, and narrative medicine scholarship, The Afterlives of Kathleen Collins highlights these works alongside her unpublished and recently published short fiction and plays, as well as her produced films The Cruz Brothers and Miss Malloy and Losing Ground. Paying particular attention to diary entries and plays, The Afterlives of Kathleen Collins notes that even during a terminal illness Collins would seek out new definitions of life.
The Afterlives of Kathleen Collins definitively emphasizes the evolution of film and film studies that Collins makes possible for current and future generations of filmmakers.
