Download or read book Student Body Shots Another Round written by Steve Hofstetter and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book picks up where the first book left off, exploring college even further. Hofstetter barely scratched the surface with his first title, using his second book to continue lampooning campus life, both academic and beyond. With contributions from other contemporary college writers and a forward from Spanky (a three-time college comedian of the year), the book is a 130-page dissection of college life, filled with sarcasm and designed so it can be read in one sitting or a page at a time. With a work hard, play hard attitude, Hofstetter once again proves that no matter who you are or where you went to school, college is, well, college.
Download or read book Body Shots written by Emily Fox-Kales and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do movie star bodies and celebrity culture influence the way real girls and women feel about their own size and shape? What effect can popular films have on everyday eating behavior and exercise rituals? Body Shots shows how Hollywood films, movie stars, and celebrity media help propagate the values of an "eating disordered culture" that promotes constant self-scrutiny and vigilance, denial of appetite and overcontrol of weight in the compulsive pursuit of an eternally elusive body ideal of slenderness and fitness. In a unique approach that merges the disciplines of film analysis, gender studies, and psychology, clinical psychologist and cinema studies scholar Emily Fox-Kales demonstrates how the body narratives of such Hollywood celebrities as Lindsay Lohan, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Oprah Winfrey and their battles with bulimia, post-maternal weight gain, and yo-yo dieting not only serve as public enactments of the same eating and weight struggles their fans endure, but create a "new normal" which naturalizes and even valorizes the chronic body dissatisfaction and weight obsession that are established risk factors for eating disorders in women and girls. Written for students of cultural and gender studies, parents, media literacy educators, as well as film buffs everywhere, this book aims to provide the moviegoer with the critical tools necessary to develop a resistant gaze at Hollywood productions and make healthier choices among the many viewing screens of our super-mediated world.

Download or read book 67 Shots written by Howard Means and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At midday on May 4, 1970, after three days of protests, several thousand students and the Ohio National Guard faced off at opposite ends of the grassy campus Commons at Kent State University. At noon, the Guard moved out. Twenty-four minutes later, Guardsmen launched a 13-second, 67-shot barrage that left four students dead and nine wounded, one paralyzed for life. The story doesn't end there, though. A horror of far greater proportions was narrowly averted minutes later when the Guard and students reassembled on the Commons. The Kent State shootings were both unavoidable and preventable: unavoidable in that all the discordant forces of a turbulent decade flowed together on May 4, 1970, on one Ohio campus; preventable in that every party to the tragedy made the wrong choices at the wrong time in the wrong place. Using the university's recently available oral-history collection supplemented by extensive new interviewing, Means tells the story of this iconic American moment through the eyes and memories of those who were there, and skillfully situates it in the context of a tumultuous era.

Download or read book The SAGE Encyclopedia of Alcohol written by Scott C. Martin and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 1674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol consumption goes to the very roots of nearly all human societies. Different countries and regions have become associated with different sorts of alcohol, for instance, the “beer culture” of Germany, the “wine culture” of France, Japan and saki, Russia and vodka, the Caribbean and rum, or the “moonshine culture” of Appalachia. Wine is used in religious rituals, and toasts are used to seal business deals or to celebrate marriages and state dinners. However, our relation with alcohol is one of love/hate. We also regulate it and tax it, we pass laws about when and where it’s appropriate, we crack down severely on drunk driving, and the United States and other countries tried the failed “Noble Experiment” of Prohibition. While there are many encyclopedias on alcohol, nearly all approach it as a substance of abuse, taking a clinical, medical perspective (alcohol, alcoholism, and treatment). The SAGE Encyclopedia of Alcohol examines the history of alcohol worldwide and goes beyond the historical lens to examine alcohol as a cultural and social phenomenon, as well—both for good and for ill—from the earliest days of humankind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed for librarians who offer library instruction within the constraints of the hour-long one-shot, this book proposes a method for redesigning one-shot instruction that is both realistic and integrated into the larger curriculum. Working with faculty teams from academic departments, the authors used the collaborative Lesson Study method to redesign undergraduate research instruction. They describe how to winnow the one-shot down to a manageable active learning experience while simultaneously augmenting it with extra-sessional prerequisites and learning activities. They also discuss how to conceptualize the role of the one-shot within a course, a curriculum, and the larger information literacy goals of the institution. This book offers customizable strategies, sample lesson plans, and generalized observations based on the experiences of the authors. Maximizing the One-Shot: Connecting Library Instruction with the Curriculum covers the following aspects of one-shot development: Understanding the role of the one-shot institutionally and its limits. Setting realistic goals. The Lesson Study approach. Collaborating with departmental faculty. Assessment of the one-shot. Supporting the one-shot with additional materials. Expanding one-shot development to other departments and programs. In addition, the book provides interviews with collaborating faculty members of academic departments who have partnered with library faculty.
