Screening the Undead Vampires and Zombies in Film and Television

e309c982948c109b1ee158d016edf4b9.webp

Leon Hunt, "Screening the Undead: Vampires and Zombies in Film and Television"
English | ISBN: 1848859236 | 2014 | 288 pages | PDF | 6 MB
The vampire and the zombie, the two most popular incarnations of the undead, are brought together for a forensic critical investigation in Screening the Undead. Both have a long history in popular fiction, film, television, comics and games; the vampire also remains central to popular culture today, from literary 'paranormal romance' to cult TV and movie franchises - by turns romantic, tortured, grotesque, countercultural, a goth icon or lonely outsider. The zombie can shamble or, nowadays, sprint with alarming velocity, and even dance. It frequently lends itself to metaphor and can stand in for fascism or ecological disaster, but is perhaps most frequently a harbinger and instrument of the apocalypse.

Leading writers on Horror and cult media consider the sexy vampire and the grotesque zombie, as well as hybrid figures who do not fit neatly into either category. These are examined across a range of contexts, from the Swedish vampire to the Afro-American Blacula, from the lesbian vampire to the gay zombie, from the Spanish Knights Templar riding skeletal horses to dancing Japanese zombies. Screening the Undead sheds new light on these two icons of terror - and desire - whose popular longevity has taken them 'Beyond Life'.

Screening Twilight Critical Approaches to a Cinematic Phenomenon

027d7e5a617b868adf8121495c8c607f.webp

Wickham Clayton, "Screening Twilight: Critical Approaches to a Cinematic Phenomenon "
English | ISBN: 1780766653 | 2014 | 232 pages | PDF | 3 MB
The Twilight saga, a series of five films adapted from Stephanie Meyer's four vampire novels, has been a sensation, both at the box office and through the attention it has won from its predominantly teenaged fans. This series has also been the subject of criticism and sometimes derision - often from critics and on occasion even from fans. However, it also offers rich opportunities for analytic and critical attention, which the contributors to Screening Twilight demonstrate with energy and style. Through examining Twilight, the book unpacks how this popular group of films work as cinematic texts, what they have to say about cinema and culture today, and how fans may seek to re-read or subvert these messages. The chapters addressTwilight in the context of the vampire and myth, in terms of genre and reception, identity, gender and sexuality, and through re-viewing the series fandom. Screening Twilight is also a revelation of how a popular cinematic phenomenon like Twilight rewards close attention from contemporary critical scholars of cinema and culture.

Nitin Sharma, "Securing Docker: The Attack and Defense Way"
English | ASIN : B08NDT3G2M | 2020 | 151 pages | AZW | 11 MB
Containerization is increasing widely with the adoption of Docker for container workloads. It's always easy to spin a container and start working on it. But wait! Have you ever thought of the security of your container workloads? Did your Docker Container ecosystems can defend themselves against latest sophisticated attacks? Or, you might be relying on legacy security systems to make them do the security work for you. If you are still thinking the same, you need to cope up with the existing solutions since container security concerns impose huge risks to the IT infrastructure. Malwares like Doki and Kinsing have already targeted and exploited vulnerable Docker containers and host systems and there are more attacks to come in future too. In such times, this little book can help you in your quest to understand the Docker Container Attack patterns and to devise the strategy for securing and hardening your container environments with a couple of research articles and a lot of tools and hands-on exercises.

Sedition How America's Constitutional Order Emerged from Violent Crisis

8e2c768ad6e96c932e8b6414ce668cd1.webp

Sedition: How America's Constitutional Order Emerged from Violent Crisis by Marcus Alexander Gadson
English | May 13, 2025 | ISBN: 1479828882, 9781479828890 | True EPUB | 264 pages | 1 MB
How Americans have weathered constitutional crises throughout our history

Since protestors ripped through the Capitol Building in 2021, the threat of constitutional crisis has loomed over our nation. The foundational tenets of American democracy seem to be endangered, and many citizens believe this danger is unprecedented in our history. But Americans have weathered many constitutional crises, often accompanied by the same violence and chaos experienced on January 6. However, these crises occurred on the state level. In Sedition, Marcus Alexander Gadson uncovers these episodes of civil unrest and examines how state governments handled them.
Sedition takes readers through six instances of constitutional crisis: The Buckshot War, Dorr's Rebellion, Bleeding Kansas, the Brooks-Baxter War, a successful terrorist campaign to overthrow South Carolina's government during Reconstruction, and the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898. He chronicles these turbulent periods of violent anti-government conflict on the state level, explaining what it was like to experience coup d'états, rival governments fighting in the streets, and disputed elections that gave way to violence. As he addresses constitutional breakdown, Gadson urges Americans to pay increased attention to the risk of constitutional instability in their home states. His sweeping historical analysis provides new insights on the fight to protect democracy today.
As Americans mobilize to prevent future crises, Sedition reminds us that our constitutional order can fail, that democratic collapse is possible, and offers us advice on how to save our constitutional system.

Cindy Conner, "Seed Libraries: And Other Means of Keeping Seeds in the Hands of the People"
English | ISBN: 0865717826 | 2015 | 192 pages | AZW | 10 MB
Community-based initiatives to preserve and protect our food supply

Historically, seed companies were generally small, often family-run businesses. Because they were regionally based, they could focus on varieties well-suited to the local environment. A Pacific Northwest company, for example, would specialize in different cultivars than a company based in the Southeast. However the absorption of these small, independent seed businesses into large multinationals, combined with the advancement of biotechnology resulting in hybrids and GMO seeds, has led to a serious loss of genetic diversity. The public is now at the mercy of the corporations that control the seeds.

Seeing Like an Artist What Artists Perceive in the Art of Others

2201fce79a707fdbd39c48aaf3c44c3e.webp

Seeing Like an Artist: What Artists Perceive in the Art of Others by Lincoln Perry
English | October 4, 2022 | ISBN: 1567926991 | True EPUB | 232 pages | 35.4 MB
"Beguiling and informative"-Wall Street Journal

Learn to see art as an artist does. Discover how a painting's composition or a sculpture's spatial structure influence the experience of what you're seeing. With an artist as your guide, viewing art becomes a powerfully enriching experience that will stay in your mind long after you've left a museum.
A visit to view art can be overwhelming, exhausting, and unrewarding. Lincoln Perry wants to change that. In fifteen essays-each framed around a specific theme-he provides new ways of seeing and appreciating art.
Drawing heavily on examples from the European traditions of art, Perry aims to overturn assumptions and asks readers to re-think artistic prejudices while rebuilding new preferences. Included are essays on how artists "read" paintings, how scale and format influence viewers, how to engage with sculptures and murals, as well as guides to some of the great museums and churches of Europe.
Seeing Like an Artist is for any artist, art-lover, or museumgoer who wants to grow their appreciation for the art of others.

Seers, Saints and Sinners The Oral Tradition of Upper Egypt

56621a14df0ee0e6192daedfaf72d360.webp

Elizabeth Wickett, "Seers, Saints and Sinners: The Oral Tradition of Upper Egypt"
English | ISBN: 1780760531 | 2012 | 248 pages | PDF | 9 MB
Traditional Egyptian folktales have a flavour and vivacity that until now has proved impossible to render in translation. Here, Elizabeth Wickett presents a translation into English of five rich and vivid tales from Upper Egypt that accurately captures the drama, wit and vitality of Egyptian oral narrative in performance. The stories include the tale of Maimuna, the slave girl of Mecca, crucified for her beliefs, and the erotic tale of Aziza, the flamboyant daughter of the Sultan of Tunis, who attempts to seduce and capture the handsome and innocent Yunis. The author explores the broader literary and social significance of each tale, as well as the aesthetics of performance, gender issues, and parallels with other Egyptian and Near Eastern tales. It is a unique record of a disappearing and little known tradition.

Selected Essays, 1934-1943 Historical, Political, and Moral Writings

Simone Weil, "Selected Essays, 1934-1943: Historical, Political, and Moral Writings "
English | ISBN: 1498239218 | 2015 | 240 pages | PDF | 129 MB
Introducing the Selected Works of Simone Weil Weil's many essays written over her short life cover a very wide range of topics. This important collection contains several that have been long unavailable. There is deep integrity in this diverse collection. Many are directed to social and political topics, written in Weil's distinctive way of commenting on contemporary issues through historical writing. Weil wrote in her great work The Need for Roots that humans beings need roots in the universe; this rootedness comes through their lived history. Often Weil is treated as if she were constantly trying to posit timeless truths, but as these essays make evident, Weil offers to her readers a sense of truth as we discover it and live with it in our concrete historical circumstances. This analogical and historical thinking is particularly clear in the several essays that come from her last days while working for the Free French in London, during which she meditated on the philosophical renewal of France after the war.

Selected Letters of Martha Gellhorn

c76ff0f304c0fad8a8e756051474bd7f.webp

Selected Letters of Martha Gellhorn by Martha Gellhorn, edited by Caroline Moorehead
English | July 25, 2006 | ISBN: 0805065555, 0805083227 | True EPUB | 544 pages | 1.9 MB
"A literary landmark. Gellhorn's prose . . . is at its finest in the letter form."―Francine du Plessix Gray, The New York Times Book Review

From Martha Gellhorn's critically acclaimed biographer, the first collected letters of this defining figure of the twentieth-century
Martha Gellhorn's heroic career as a reporter brought her to the front lines of virtually every significant international conflict between the Spanish Civil War and the end of the Cold War. While Gellhorn's wartime dispatches rank among the best of the century, her personal letters are their equal: as vivid and fascinating as anything she ever published.
Gellhorn's correspondence from 1930 to 1996-chronicling friendships with figures as diverse as Eleanor Roosevelt, Leonard Bernstein, and H. G. Wells, as well as her tempestuous marriage to Ernest Hemingway-paint a vivid picture of the twentieth century as she lived it.
Caroline Moorehead, who was granted exclusive access to the letters, has expertly edited this fascinating volume, providing prefatory and interstitial material that contextualizes Gellhorn's correspondence within the arc of her entire life. The letters introduce us to the woman behind the correspondent-a writer of wit, charm, and vulnerability. The result is an exhilarating, intimate portrait of one of the most accomplished women of modern times.

Become your own best friend and reap the life-changing benefits!

Being kind to yourself might sound simple, but self-compassion can change your life dramatically (and most of us are WAY kinder to others than to ourselves) Self-Compassion For Dummies will help you discover self-critical thoughts and self-defeating behaviors that are holding you back from fulfilling your potential and explore how you can learn to work around these things to find your way to more joy and satisfaction. We often think being hard on ourselves will help motivate us to be better people, but Dr. Steven Hickman's review of the research finds that just the opposite is true. When you learn to love and appreciate yourself completely (as an imperfect human with messy feelings and uncomfortable thoughts), you free yourself up to achieve great things. This book will show you how!

Self-Obsession How Our Need for Identity Threatens Our Wellbeing

878406133309565e98cfb3f9cc9377f7.webp

Self-Obsession: How Our Need for Identity Threatens Our Wellbeing by Dr Tom Davies
English | 13 May 2025 | ISBN: 1786789507, 9781786789518 | True EPUB | 304 pages | 4.4 MB
Doctor, writer and mental health advocate Tom Davies breaks down the true problem at the heart of our psychological pain and the growing mental health pandemic, providing effective solutions that anyone can practice to live a more fulfilled and happy life.

There is one point that contemporary psychology and centuries old Eastern Buddhist and Taoist teachings agree on: if you wish to experience less suffering, you must change the way you see yourself. But what if the change that is needed is to let go of our selves entirely? What does this mean for those of us living in an increasingly self-obsessed and individualistic society? Is our quest for identity actually sabotaging our own wellbeing?
In this compassionate and galvanizing book, Dr Tom Davies gently invites you to consider the basic elements that define who you are.
In Part One, get to know your self. From the ground up, discover what the self truly is, how it links to identity, and how self-obsession is central to the human condition and the psychological pain that each of us experience.In Part Two, overcome self-obsession. Free yourself from your psychological prison, and learn how to live the peaceful and joyful life that you deserve.
With a fresh and lucid style, Dr Tom Davies combines his knowledge of the medical, psychological and the philosophical to bring you real solutions to life's most challenging problems. Whether you are searching for meaning, or are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief or depression, this perspective will provide you with an empowering new insight that can help you transform your life.

Selling Social Justice Why the Rich Love Antiracism

927dbeef2e71cc96341a7d0a24e18fd2.webp

Selling Social Justice: Why the Rich Love Antiracism (Jacobin), aka Selling Social Justice: Why the Ruling Class Loves Antiracism by Jennifer C. Pan
English | May 6, 2025 | ISBN: 1804294225, 9781804294239 | True EPUB | 208 pages | 0.4 MB
Americans have been sold a version of social justice that fails to deliver

The national racial reckoning that began in 2020 promised to radically restructure American society from the bottom up. But five years on, it has mainly served to strengthen the ruling class and deliver the rich an opportunity to rehabilitate a profoundly unequal economic order precisely at a moment when the stability of the system and the public's trust in it are drastically deteriorating.
Corporations have used antiracism to consolidate their political power and evade government regulation. Employers have surveilled and undermined workers through counterproductive diversity, equity, and inclusion trainings. Affluent professionals and Democratic politicians have exacerbated a stark class divide by pushing half-baked "racial equity" policies that come at the expense of the majority of working people. And the right has reacted to these developments by stoking a toxic culture war against "wokeness" that serves only as a distraction from the increasing economic hardship faced by Americans of all races.
Selling Social Justice investigates the rise and spread of contemporary antiracist ideology and shows how the rich came to embrace this particular form of justice. In this provocative and thoroughly researched account, Jennifer C. Pan explores why, in a twenty-first-century economy of increasing scarcity, antiracism is the wrong frame for understanding and fighting inequality.

Selling Yoga From Counterculture to Pop Culture

b903084d423ed399d054162c9efbcb9d.webp

Selling Yoga: From Counterculture to Pop Culture by Andrea Jain
English | December 8, 2014 | ISBN: 0199390231, 019939024X | True EPUB | 264 pages | 1.8 MB
Premodern and early modern yoga comprise techniques with a wide range of aims, from turning inward in quest of the true self, to turning outward for divine union, to channeling bodily energy in pursuit of sexual pleasure. Early modern yoga also encompassed countercultural beliefs and practices. In contrast, today, modern yoga aims at the enhancement of the mind-body complex but does so according to contemporary dominant metaphysical, health, and fitness paradigms. Consequently, yoga is now a part of popular culture.

In Selling Yoga, Andrea R. Jain explores the popularization of yoga in the context of late-twentieth-century consumer culture. She departs from conventional approaches by undermining essentialist definitions of yoga as well as assumptions that yoga underwent a linear trajectory of increasing popularization. While some studies trivialize popularized yoga systems by reducing them to the mere commodification or corruption of what is perceived as an otherwise fixed, authentic system, Jain suggests that this dichotomy oversimplifies the history of yoga as well as its meanings for contemporary practitioners.
By discussing a wide array of modern yoga types, from Iyengar Yoga to Bikram Yoga, Jain argues that popularized yoga cannot be dismissed-that it has a variety of religious meanings and functions. Yoga brands destabilize the basic utility of yoga commodities and assign to them new meanings that represent the fulfillment of self-developmental needs often deemed sacred in contemporary consumer culture.

Semishigure

0e2b269cae4cd7f3a7c973518f341117.webp

Semishigure by Shuhei Fujisawa, translated by Thomas Harper
English | March 14, 2025 | ISBN: 1915829291, 9781915829306 | True EPUB | 403 pages | 0.5 MB
When his father is accused of rebellion and forced to commit seppuku, it falls to Maki Bunshirô to protect his family's house from future retribution. Training as a samurai, Bunshirô must hone his skills with the sword and make powerful allies among the elders of the domain if he hopes to survive. As he is navigating clan politics, the object of this youthful affection, Fuku, becomes the mistress of the lord of the domain. When Fuku and her child become the key to the future of the domain, Bunshirô is forced to choose between what his lord commands and his childhood love.

Semishigure, literally meaning "cicada showers," refers to the everpresent noise of insects chirping in Japanese summers, a nostalgic reminder of the passing seasons. This much-loved, sentimental samurai novel by Fujisawa Shuhei, the undisputed master of the genre, is finally available in English, and Thomas Harper's deft translation brings all of the power, longing, and joy of the original that has captivated generations of Japanese readers.

Serial Killer Games

Serial Killer Games by Kate Posey
English | April 29, 2025 | ISBN: 0593818512 | True EPUB | 384 pages | 5 MB
What would you do if you thought your coworker was getting away with murder-literally?

Dolores dela Cruz has been dying to spot one in the wild, and he fits the mold perfectly: strangler gloves, calculated charm, dashing good looks that give a leg up in any field . . . including fields of unmarked graves.
The new office temp is definitely a serial killer.
Jake Ripper finds a welcome distraction in his combative and enigmatic new coworker. He hasn't come across anyone as interesting as Dolores in a long time. But when mere curiosity evolves into a darkly romantic flirtation, Jake can't help but wonder if, finally, he's found someone who really sees him, skeletons in the closet and all.
Until Dolores asks Jake's help to dispose of a body . . .
A morbidly funny and emotionally resonant novel about the ways life-and love-can sneak up on us (no matter how much pepper spray we carry).

English | 9 Jan. 2025 | ISBN: 152991096X, 9781804945636 | True EPUB | 208 pages | 0.6 MB
What if everything you've been told about money is wrong?

Have you ever been told that cutting your spending is the key to financial freedom?
Or that only a fool would try to make money by picking stocks?
Or that buying your home is always a smart investment?

Most of us have heard these truisms from friends, from family, even from financial experts. They are held up as nuggets of timeless wisdom. There's just one problem: none of them is true.
Over the last decade, the world of money has transformed - but the mainstream financial advice hasn't caught up. The result: most of us are being fed money advice that will only take us further from our financial goals.
Here, a leading investor debunks seven of the most common misconceptions about money, and explains why the true path to wealth is dramatically different from what you've been told. Confounding and eminently practical, Seven Myths About Money sketches out a radically new route to financial freedom - one fit for the twenty-first century.
