Download or read book Ugliness written by Gretchen E. Henderson and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "'Ugly as sin', 'ugly duckling', 'rear its ugly head'. The word 'ugly' is used freely, yet it is a loaded term: from the simply plain and unsightly to the repulsive and even offensive, definitions slide all over the place. Hovering around 'feared and dreaded', ugliness both repels and fascinates. But the concept of ugliness has a lineage that has long haunted our cultural imagination. Gretchen E. Henderson explores perceptions of ugliness through history, from ancient Roman feasts to medieval grotesque gargoyles, from Mary Shelley's monster cobbled from corpses to the Nazi Exhibition of Degenerate Art. Covering literature, art, music and even Ugly dolls, Henderson reveals how ugliness has long posed a challenge to aesthetics and taste. Henderson digs into the muck of ugliness, moving beyond the traditional philosophic argument or mere opposition to beauty, and emerges with more than a selection of fascinating tidbits. Following ugly bodies and dismantling ugly senses across periods and continents, [this book] draws on a wealth of fields to cross cultures and times, delineating the changing map of ugliness as it charges the public imagination. Illustrated with a range of artefacts, this book offers a refreshing perspective that moves beyond the surface to ask what 'ugly' truly is, even as its meaning continues to shift"--

Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER// WINNER OF THE SABEW BEST IN BUSINESS AWARD A Book of the Year: Fortune, Foreign Affairs, The Times (London), Cosmopolitan, TechCrunch, WIRED “The ultimate takedown.” –New York Times Book Review Award-winning New York Times reporters Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang unveil the tech story of our times in a riveting, behind-the-scenes exposé that offers the definitive account of Facebook’s fall from grace. Once one of Silicon Valley’s greatest success stories, Facebook has been under constant fire for the past five years, roiled by controversies and crises. It turns out that while the tech giant was connecting the world, they were also mishandling users’ data, spreading fake news, and amplifying dangerous, polarizing hate speech. The company, many said, had simply lost its way. But the truth is far more complex. Leadership decisions enabled, and then attempted to deflect attention from, the crises. Time after time, Facebook’s engineers were instructed to create tools that encouraged people to spend as much time on the platform as possible, even as those same tools boosted inflammatory rhetoric, conspiracy theories, and partisan filter bubbles. And while consumers and lawmakers focused their outrage on privacy breaches and misinformation, Facebook solidified its role as the world’s most voracious data-mining machine, posting record profits, and shoring up its dominance via aggressive lobbying efforts. Drawing on their unrivaled sources, Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang take readers inside the complex court politics, alliances and rivalries within the company to shine a light on the fatal cracks in the architecture of the tech behemoth. Their explosive, exclusive reporting led them to a shocking conclusion: The missteps of the last five years were not an anomaly but an inevitability—this is how Facebook was built to perform. In a period of great upheaval, growth has remained the one constant under the leadership of Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg. Both have been held up as archetypes of uniquely 21st century executives—he the tech “boy genius” turned billionaire, she the ultimate woman in business, an inspiration to millions through her books and speeches. But sealed off in tight circles of advisers and hobbled by their own ambition and hubris, each has stood by as their technology is coopted by hate-mongers, criminals and corrupt political regimes across the globe, with devastating consequences. In An Ugly Truth, they are at last held accountable.

This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first, and most obvious questions, which should be asked are, "What are niggers? Who turned Africans into niggers? When were Africans turned into niggers? Why were Africans turned into niggers, and how were Africans turned into niggers? These are the questions, which this book endeavors to answer. Although this book talks about White Supremacy, and the effects of White Supremacy on Black people, this book is not about White people. This book is not about blaming White people, or having any hatred for White people. "Blame and Hatred are distractions," and when we spend our time blaming and hating White people, we are wasting valuable time; time that could instead be used to improve, and empower us as a people. Black people must awaken that "Spiritual Afrakan" inside of them!

He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her. Never ask about the past. Don’t expect a future. They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all. Hearts get infiltrated. Promises get broken. Rules get shattered. Love gets ugly.

Book excerpt: The human mind is the greatest danger to the human body. Borderline Personality Disorder Borderline Personality Disorder is a disorder of the mind that disturbs over 10% of the human population but remains a chaotic enigma to this day. Fatalities of this deadly affliction are often trapped inside the impulsivity of their own selves, unable to escape from their own lethal cycles of manipulation and self-blame. Borderline victims can be dangerous. They linger, confined, inside their impetuous and neurotic minds of self-mutilation, perpetual accusations, and malicious manipulations in attempts to pursue unknown cravings. Amongst the most volatile in romantic relationships, borderline individuals entice their partners before exhibiting callous apathy and infatuated terrorizations due to conflicting emotions. High levels of impulsivity also trigger borderline sufferers to engage in physical and emotional self-injurious behaviors when the universe fails to align with their severe philosophies. The Emotional Mind The human race remains indefinitely captive inside the emotional mind. Emotions dictate our everyday judgments and responses as opposed to our logical and rational mind, acting on lack of inhibitions and repressed traumatic pain despite cognizance. Societal pressure has influenced humanity into eradicating raw emotions for the illusion of acceptance by becoming replicas of everyone else, imprisoning passions and sensations waiting to unleash, locking our individualities inside our own thoughts.

Book excerpt: Jon Ross and Trae Ambrose shared a secret kiss behind the high-school at sixteen. But it wasn't until twenty years later, after Jon had moved to LA and started acting for a living, and Trae remained in Miami, where he worked as an attorney, that they reunited on a luxury cruise to the Baltic countries. The meeting on the cruise ship's running deck would have been perfect, if it hadn't been for one minor detail. Trae Ambrose had gotten married, yet his newlywed wife refused to come on the trip with him. The two men begin a clandestine affair onboard, using a book in the ship's library to exchange notes, and meet up secretly. But once the trip ended, Jon assumed he would be as heartbroken as he was after that first kiss. One thing neither man could anticipate, was Nadine, the 'sweet wife' Trae had married, was not who she said she was. Not by a long shot. As Trae arrives home after two weeks away, he finds what he had left behind in utter chaos. Then the ugly truth about the woman Trae had married begins to unravel. Without Jon's love and support, Trae's world would have crashed down on him. But the two young men who had stolen each other's hearts decades ago, now became an inseparable couple. And there was nothing 'ugly' about that truth.

This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daily, and three times on Sundays, the minds and souls of Black folk are assailed and assaulted by false religions and fictitious religious teachings which simultaneously oppress, distract and destroy our people. We need to remove their European Jesus out of the minds of our people by making them realize that, the original concept of Jesus Christ was named Heru (Horus) and by making them understand that the Jesus image that so many worship as God, is in reality Serapis Soter; a Greek creation devised under Ptolemy I. God, as we know him, is a by-product of psychological warfare. God, as most Black people know him is a fictional figment or fabrication of propaganda, invented in an iniquitous imagination. By design, the words or names God and Jesus are nothing more than weapons of propaganda which are designed to reinforce White superiority and White supremacy; while at the same time, they are designed to diminish the Afrikan by consigning us into divinely assigned inferior positions and roles utilizing subliminal, divine justifications. I and the original Afrikans call the Deity Neter, which is in fact nature itself. When you begin to reverse the psychological brainwashing process, initiated and instigated by the invaders thousands of years ago; you come to the realization that there is no God or Jesus, only Neter. Both God and Jesus are concoctions of the xenophobic racists' imaginations. Until we get those ideas out of our psyches we'll be forever trapped. Are we ever going to begin the process of reversing and undoing the counterfeit concepts, in the minds of our people, which have been deliberately put into our minds, by erroneous religious teachings, false doctrines and disadvantageous religious agendas, which have been purposely created, to place and to keep Afrikans in those destructive and dysfunctional situations, which ensure that we remain in roles and positions of inferiority in regards to White supremacy? When will we open our minds and challenge White appointed Black leaders? It is neither my mission nor my intention to make you believe anything. My objective is to provide you with information you may never be exposed to, and let you, make informed decisions based on historical facts.
