Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rejected by their own kind for bearing the mark of the Shadow Monarch, the Iron Elves chose instead to serve with the human armies of the Calahrian Empire, hoping through their dedication and discipline to wipe out the stain of their birth. Their reputation is legendary -- until their commander, Konowa Swiftdragon, takes it upon himself -- for the best of reasons -- to assassinate the Viceroy. Court-martialled and exiled to the forest he despises, his beloved regiment disgraced, dishonoured and disbanded, Konowa finds himself suddenly recalled and ordered to re-form the Iron Elves for one last reconnaissance mission. But the new Iron Elves are not at all the same as they were before, and the mission is a suicidal one, with more at stake than Konowa could possibly have imagined. For the Shadow Monarch and her allies have harnessed destructive forces with the power to tear worlds apart -- and those who bear her mark have a destiny greater than they know. So begins an heroic journey in the company of a motley band of misfits, rebels and outcasts, with a central character whose engaging, brilliantly realised blend of cynicism, dry humour, duty and anguish make him unlike any other in fantasy fiction.

Download or read book Historicizing Fear written by Travis D. Boyce and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2020-02-21 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historicizing Fear is a historical interrogation of the use of fear as a tool to vilify and persecute groups and individuals from a global perspective, offering an unflinching look at racism, fearful framing, oppression, and marginalization across human history.The book examines fear and Othering from a historical context, providing a better understanding of how power and oppression is used in the present day. Contributors ground their work in the theory of Othering—the reductive action of labeling a person as someone who belongs to a subordinate social category defined as the Other—in relation to historical events, demonstrating that fear of the Other is universal, timeless, and interconnected. Chapters address the music of neo-Nazi white power groups, fear perpetuated through the social construct of black masculinity in a racially hegemonic society, the terror and racial cleansing in early twentieth-century Arkansas, the fear of drug-addicted Vietnam War veterans, the creation of fear by the Tang Dynasty, and more. Timely, provocative, and rigorously researched, Historicizing Fear shows how the Othering of members of different ethnic groups has been used to propagate fear and social tension, justify state violence, and prevent groups or individuals from gaining equality. Broadening the context of how fear of the Other can be used as a propaganda tool, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of history, anthropology, political science, popular culture, critical race issues, social justice, and ethnic studies, as well as the general reader concerned with the fearful framing prevalent in politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's time to call out the brave within you and unleash your masculine power! ​When many thousands of years of strictly gendered cultural expectations meet the pressures of the modern age, what does it mean to be a man? What does true, healthy masculinity look like for both you and the world around you, and how can you achieve it? In Forged in Bravery, author and leadership psychologist John Robert Hatfield reflects on his experience from thirty years of counseling men, current research, and his own lifelong relationship with his masculinity to navigate through the maze of modern masculine confusion. From exploring strategies for healthily managing anger to investigating the overlooked importance of cultivating male friendships, Hatfield analyzes the masks men wear that perpetuate a false facade of masculinity to confront the many harmful cultural narratives that have defined our expectations of what a man should be. Instead, this book will teach you how to unashamedly call out and awaken the brave within you, confront the fears that dominate you, and embrace the braveass virtues that forge true masculinity. Hatfield establishes a new standard for measuring when men are truly at their best that revolves on self-leadership, resilience, and vulnerability. Forged in Bravery is a call to action for men to confront their fears and examine their attitudes on masculinity so they can start living an authentic and empowered life.
