Описание: From the canefileds of the ante-bellum South, the villages of the Caribbean islands, and the streets of contemporary inner cities, here are more than one hundred tales from an "incredibly rich and affirmative storytelling tradition" (Choice). Full of life, wisdom, and humor, these tales range from the earthy comedy of tricksters to stories explaining how the world was created and got to be the way it is, to moral fables that tell of encounters between masters and slaves. They includes stories set down in travelers' reports and plantation journals from the early nineteenth century, tales gathered by collectors such as Joel Chandler Harris and Zora Neale Hurston, and narratives tape-recorded by Roger Abrahams himself during extensive expeditions throughout the American South and the Caribbean. Part of the Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folkore Library

Описание: The Ig Nobel Prizes make people laugh, and then make them think. Included in this new edition are: the Dutch scientist who investigated homosexual necrophilia in mallard ducks, the Swedish team that looked into chickens' preferences in humans, and the man who made it possible for someone to rent the entire country of Liechtenstein for corporate events. Sometimes, as in the latter case, Ig Nobel Prizes could not be awarded without the entire natioetting behind the researchers. As before, there is an irresistible blend of serious science and complete incredulity at the way the human quest for knowledge takes us into ever more obscure areas of research.

Описание:
After endless hard work and dedication, Abigail has finally established herself as a top producer within a male-dominated industry, but a family crisis threatens it all.
Abigail's father has taken on the growing needs of her dementia-stricken mother for the past two years. Now he is seriously ill and needs Abigail more than ever. As she is propelled smack-dab into the middle of the sandwich generation, Abigail must somehow strike a balance between the demands of her profession and the demands of her family, especially when she realizes someone she once trusted is meddling in her parent's financial affairs.
As the evolution of her character takes form, Abigail is faced with a pivotal choice: to honor her father's sincere wish or continue on her path to launch the career of her dreams. Will she listen to her heart or her head as she attempts to discover where she truly belongs?
In this poignant novella, a professional woman on her way to shattering the glass ceiling must face a critical decision after her elderly father falls ill, leaving her mothers care uncertain.

Описание: Highly-regarded when it first appeared, in 2004, Hawkwind: Sonic Assassins relates the long and twisting history of one of the most iconic British rock bands. From founder and ever present leader Dave Brock's early days busking the streets of London and mixing with the movers and shakers of the embryonic blues rock scene of the 1960s, through his conversion to psychedelic soundscapes and the establishment of a band that would come to define its own spacerock genre, this is the story of Hawkwind as told by the multitude of musicians who have moved through the many line-ups, adding, as Dave Brock himself would say, "their own bits and pieces."
Rewritten, expanded and updated, with new research and fresh interviews, this new edition of Ian Abrahams's Hawkwind biography has been eagerly awaited by the band's legion of fans.
"If the first edition made for compelling reading, this revised edition is essential - and must now be regarded as the definitive history of Hawkwind." Vive Le Rock
"An even-handed book... a fitting testament to this important, influential band." Shindig!
"A hugely affectionate celebration of the durability of the band ... makes for a splendid read." Record Collector
"If what you want is an in-depth representation of the space rock pioneers' career then this is what you need on your shelf" Prog
"Painstakingly thorough but never ponderous; choc full of on the road stories and behind the mixing desk anecdotes ... enjoy the trip!" Paul Roland (Marc Bolan: Cosmic Dancer; 'Werewolf of London')
"At last a book which gets down to the minutiae. A massively useful document of an important band placed within the unfolding zeitgeist." Andrew Keeling (Music Guides to King Crimson; 'The Wine of Silence'; Andrew Keeling & Otherworld)
