Download or read book Malana Cream Chauvinist Pigs Third Wave Feminism written by Shalini Singh and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminism is still a misunderstood concept; many think it ends at sexual freedom for women. There are uncomfortable issues however - little girls need much more to aspire to than being an Item girl or a Cinderella or a Daddy's girl, men need not veer towards beards and over-sized vehicles and shoes to compensate for the intimidation, and chivalry need not be the biggest casualty of uber-feminism. But the entire debate has gone underground. Malana Cream is a brilliant street narrative that attempts to create a dialogue between chauvinism and feminism through a metaphorical voyage, as well as a physical one. Cruising on his motorcycle on the great Himalayan road along the Dhauladhar Range to Parvati Valley, chauvinist Ranveer Singh discovers liberalism at the hands of Rito, a third-wave feminist backpacker, as they ride to attend a cultural festival called Malana Cream, named after the high grade, exotic marijuana found in the valley. The result is two enthralling journeys - an external travelogue about the Himalayas, spirituality, hippies, backpacking, while the other, an internal dialogue about individual choice.

Download or read book The Future of Israel written by Devin Sper and published by Sy Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GROUNDBREAKING VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF ISRAEL:REPLACING THE FALSE PEACE PROCESS OF TODAY WITH A NEW DECISIVE COURSE OF ACTION THAT WILL SECURE ISRAEL?S FUTURE?The Arab-Israeli conflict is of a national and ultimately a religious nature and not a simple land dispute. It cannot be solved by giving away land while the underlying cause of Arab hostility remains unchallenged. ?In his new book, THE FUTURE OF ISRAEL Devin Sper, scholar and passionate Zionist, offers a timely examination of Israel?s current crisis and answers the increasingly desperate question, ?Where does Israel go from here?? In THE FUTURE OF ISRAEL, Sper explains:?Why pursing the peace ?process? is not in Israel?s interest.?Why both the cause of, and the solution to, Israel?s problems and historical Jewish suffering are one in the same.?The three things Israel must do immediately to insure her survival and provide security for her people.?How and why a small fringe group hijacked Judaism and led the Jews to one tragedy after another.Sper maintains that Israel is today without a vision of her future, her economy is in shambles and her people in despair. ?Their hopes for peace have collapsed and there is a complete vacuum of ideas among Israel's leaders on a new direction, which will lead the country out of her seemingly endless tragedy.? To end two millennia of Jewish suffering, Sper argues, Israel must reverse the course her leaders chose at Oslo and resume a commitment to the accumulation of Jewish power she began so promisingly in 1948. Sper presents a vision culminating in Israel as a major power and lays out a long-term plan for achieving this goal. Only by making this journey, argues Sper, can a permanent end to Jewish suffering be realized. With its radical new vision for the future of Israel and the Jewish people based on a remarkably realized plan for a country in turmoil, The Future of Israel is the rightful heir to Theodore Hertzl?s ground-breaking The Jewish State. Sper bases his new vision on an ancient and once mainstream Jewish philosophy. It is a dynamic Judaism flowing from the Bible itself, a Judaism unafraid to engage and challenge the world, which the ancient historian Josephus called the ?Fourth Philosophy.? Sper explains how the abandonment of this genuine form of Judaism has led to centuries of tragedy for the Jewish people and why a return to this authentic Jewish philosophy is the only path to a secure Jewish future.Meticulously researched and compellingly argued, this brilliant and original work boldly reinterprets Jewish history and theology to offer the Jewish people and Israel a strategy to reclaim its place as a great nation.

Book excerpt: The clearest, boldest and most systematic statement of Simon Critchley’s influential views on philosophy, ethics, and politics, Infinitely Demanding identifies a massive political disappointment at the heart of liberal democracy. Arguing that what is called for is an ethics of commitment that can inform a radical politics, Critchley considers the possibility of political subjectivity and action after Marx and Marxism, taking in the work of Kant, Levinas, Badiou and Lacan.

Download or read book Tourism in Destination Communities written by Shalini Singh and published by CABI. This book was released on 2003 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation. As a result of the ongoing growth in the tourism industry, many destinations around the world are undergoing transformations. New destinations are being 'discovered' in regions previously ignored, as people search for regions that are yet unspoiled by the ravages of mass tourism. At the same time, traditional destinations are experiencing rapid environmental, socio-cultural and economic modifications. These changes have the most effect on the destination community - the location where tourists spend their time and money, and influence development or degradation of the local environment.Tourism in Destination Communities describes both the positive and negative effects of tourism on the destination community. The chapters are divided into three sections which address the relationship between tourism and the destination community, the various impacts of tourism on the destination community and the challenges and opportunities for destination communities. Each chapter contains brief case studies and empirical examples.

Download or read book Dial 911 and Die written by Richard W. Stevens and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do the police owe a duty to protect citizens from criminal attack? This book explains why, in most of the United States, the answer is "no." In most cases the law does not even require the police to respond to emergency 911 calls. This compact paperback devotes one short chapter to each of the 50 states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the District of Columbia and Canada, to show how statutes and court decisions consistently hold that the police generally have "no duty" to protect individual citizens. Most chapters reveal the true stories, taken from published court opinions, that describe the plight of citizens who relied solely upon their telephone and police response for emergency help against a violent criminal. Not only did those crime victims not get help, the local government and police escaped legal responsibility for failing to help those victims. Highlighting the importance of personal and family defense, the book also retells 45 stories about people who successfully defended themselves long before any police could help. Footnotes provide full citations to primary and secondary legal sources for all laws and case decisions. 271 pages; footnotes.
Download or read book Domestic Tourism in Asia written by Shalini Singh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many countries have a rich tradition of domestic travel and holidaying which not only predates but exceeds mass international travel. This is particularly the case in Asia where recent economic prosperity and trends in globalization have not merely spurred, but continue to shape traditions in domestic tourism. This book is the first to address specifically the continuities and changes in domestic tourism in Asia. It explores the ethos of domestic travel and holiday-making in order to understand the distinctive common strands that underlie conventional and contemporary tourism practices, against the local and global backdrop. A considerable range of countries is covered in the case studies, including those with patrimonial histories, namely China and India, the economically developed nation-state of Japan and the microstates of Taiwan, Singapore, Macao and Hong Kong, besides the coastal countries of Malaysia, Philippines, Laos and Vietnam, as well as the land-locked countries of Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia. The book presents some of the many interfaces of Asian cultural and natural heritages with tourism, while giving due considerations to today's political and economic realities.
