A Guide for the Curious, Confused, and Conflicted by Daniel Sokatch, illustrated by Christopher Noxon From the expert who understands both sides of one of the world's most complex, controversial conflicts, a modern-day Guide for the Perplexed - a primer on Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian issue. Can't you just explain the Israel situation to me? In, like, 10 minutes or less?" This is the question Daniel Sokatch is used to answering on an almost daily basis. As the head of the New Israel Fund, which is dedicated to equality and democracy for all Israelis, not just Jews, Sokatch is supremely well-versed on the Israeli conflict. Can We Talk About Israel? is the story of that conflict, and of why so many people feel so strongly about it without actually understanding it very well at all. It is an attempt to grapple with a century-long struggle between two peoples that both perceive themselves as (and indeed are) victims. And it's an attempt to explain why Israel (and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict) inspires such Bloomsbury extreme feelings - why it seems like Israel is the answer to "what is wrong with On Sale: Sep 21/21 the world" for half the people in it, and "what isright with the world" for the 5.51 x 8.25 • 256 pages other half.

Whenever the greatest managers the game has ever produced are mentioned, names like Busby, Shankly, Paisley and Ferguson always trip off the tongue.

Don Revie was one of the most complex and controversial men ever to grace the game of football. As a player he was crowned footballer of the year and credited with creating the modern center-forward.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Rejuvenile Kickball Cartoons Cupcakes and the Reinvention of the American Grown-Up by Christopher No Cupcakes Take the Cake
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Rejuvenile Kickball Cartoons Cupcakes and the Reinvention of the American Grown-Up by Christopher No Cupcakes Take The Cake. Our interview with Christopher Noxon, author of Rejuvenile: Kickball, Cartoons, Cupcakes, and the Reinvention of the American Grown-Up, is probably our most serious cupcake interview at Cupcakes Take the Cake, thus far, but also one infused with all the enthusiasm for cupcakes one could hope for. I will be honest and say I have not finished the book yet, but not because I didn't find it totally gripping (it even got me to run out and buy a copy of Alice in Wonderland, which I also haven't read, but only for lack of time), but due to many other pressing deadlines. I am going to take it on vacation with me, though, and, despite the fact that cupcakes did not make it into the final book, I'm glad they're in the title because that's how I first heard about it, and I highly recommend it to all of you. It's a serious (but not overly serious) look at a fun topic, and you'll learn about professional skippers and many other wacky, childlike adults. So if you've ever said or thought, "I wish I could be a kid again," read Rejuvenile and learn about adults who, in many ways, are being kids again! You can also Read an excerpt from Rejuvenile at Powells.com, click through to the Amazon link below to see Noxon talking about Rejuvenile with Bill Maher, and I also highly recommend his Rejuvenile blog.

  • The Revenge of Jenji Kohan
    Arts & Humanities The Revenge of Jenji Kohan Smart. Funny. Obsessive. Subversive. How the creator of the hit TV shows Weeds and Orange Is the New Black smoked the doubters and got the last laugh. By Paul Hond | Summer 2016 Illustration by Connor Langton. Jenji Kohan ’91CC is a rare bird among television showrunners: blue-haired and female, a punkish Jewish earth mother with a darkly comic vision so basic to her nature that the goblin of political correctness shrinks in her presence. As a writer, she is fearless. She will go there, and keep going. “I find the funny in everything, especially the inappropriate,” she says. “Maybe it’s my survival technique.” Kohan’s company, Tilted Productions, is based in central Los Angeles, in a Spanish Colonial–style building of pink stucco, arched windows, and iron grillwork. Built in 1926 as the Masque Playhouse, it was later renamed the Hayworth Theatre (legend has it that Rita Hayworth’s father once ran a dance studio there). Kohan bought the place in 2013. Now, after a major renovation, it’s a clean, spare, sunny, feng shui triumph of orderly space and calming energy, with long hallways and private writing rooms, a large open kitchen and dining area, and even a children’s playroom filled with brightly colored educational toys. This is where Orange Is the New Black, Kohan’s award-winning women’s-prison dramedy series, is conceived, discussed, mapped out, written, edited, and birthed. With the latest season of Orange in the can, the building is quiet today, and Kohan is relaxed.

  • Mel Gibson's the Passion of the Christ
    Journal of Religion & Society Supplement Series 1 The Kripke Center 2004 Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ Edited by Ronald A. Simkins and William L. Blizek Gibson’s Passion A Case Study in Media Manipulation? Mark Silk, Trinity College Introduction [1] When this symposium was organized, it was obvious that there would be plenty of attention focused on the Gibson film in anticipation of its commercial release a few weeks hence. But no one, I think, imagined that controversies over the film would bubble over like Strega Nonna’s pasta pot (if you get the allusion), engulfing the Holy See itself. To say that this has been a press agent’s dream is to understate the case on a truly biblical scale. [2] I am standing before you because one of the things I do for a living is look at how the news media cover religion stories, or stories with significant religious content. The Greenberg Center’s publication, Religion in the News, which I edit, appears three times a year and in the most recent issue we devote a couple of articles to the Gibson controversy - one by A.-J. Levine, a professor of New Testament at Vanderbilt (and a member of the scholars’ committee that reviewed a script of the film), on coverage of the scriptural questions at issue; the other by William Dinges of Catholic University, on coverage of Catholic traditionalism. But we are still very much in medias res. Just by virtue of being a participant in this symposium I have in the past few days been interviewed by such varied publications as the Boston Globe, Variety, and the weekly Forward, and over the next few weeks we can expect that the coverage will continue to intensify.

Reversal of Man/Woman Roles Handled HereBy Bret ScottA good attempt from a man's point of view to deal with the role reversal that's been occurring in society for the past two decades and more, where women are earning more than men -- so the men mind the home, hearth and children. It definitely takes a strong man to feel okay about this role, and I liked the progression this character went through.I often like to read books from a man's point of view -- favorite authors are Richard Russo and Richard Ford -- but this is the first book I've read on this subject.

  • The Melting Plot: Interethnic Romance in Jewish American Fiction in the Early Twentieth Century
    The Melting Plot: Interethnic Romance in Jewish American Fiction in the Early Twentieth Century Jessica Kirzane Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 Jessica Kirzane All rights reserved 2 ABSTRACT The Melting Plot: Interethnic Romance in Jewish American Fiction in the Early Twentieth Century Jessica Kirzane This dissertation argues that interethnic romance narratives reflect and express central religious, political, racial, and gendered identities and agendas of Jewish American literature and culture in the early twentieth century. Chapter One shows that fin-de-siècle Reform Jewish women authors employed interethnic romance narratives to express a belief in America as exceptional as a place of religious and gender egalitarianism. Chapter Two turns to journalist and fiction writer Abraham Cahan, who wrote interethnic romance narratives to weigh the balance between idealism and pragmatism, socialist universalist values and the principles of Jewish nationalism in determining the character of Jewishness in America. Chapter Three demonstrates that Jewish American women’s popular fictions of interethnic romance in the 1920s employed interethnic romance plots to show women’s independence and mobility in light of early feminism and to express the limitations of feminist discourse when it ran counter to their ethnic identities. Chapter Four describes how narratives of interethnic romance written by Yiddish writers I. I. Shvarts, Joseph Opatoshu, Isaac Raboy, and David Ignatov employ tropes of interethnic romance together with geographical border crossings into non-immigrant or non- Jewish spaces, co-locating physical dislocation and disorientation and intimate interpersonal desire and unease.
