Download or read book The Late Bloomer written by Ken Baker and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soon to be a feature film, The Late Bloomer is the revealing, harrowing and often funny memoir of a celebrity journalist and former hotshot hockey player who discovers that he has been biochemically infused with a female hormone. On the surface, Ken Baker seemed a model man. He was a nationally ranked hockey goalie; a Hollywood correspondent for People; a guest-lister at celebrity parties; and girls came on to him. Inside, though, he didn't feel like the man he was supposed to be. Although attracted to women, Ken had little sex drive and thus even less of a sex life. To his anguish, he repeatedly found himself unable to perform sexually. And, regardless of strenuous workouts, his body struggled to build muscle, earning him the nickname "Pear" from his macho teammates. Physically, matters turned bizarre when he discovered that he was lactating. The testosterone-driven culture in which Ken grew up made it agonizingly difficult for him to seek help. But in time he discovered something that lifted years of pain, frustration, and confusion: a brain tumor was causing his body to be flooded with massive amounts of a female hormone, which was disabling his masculinity. Five hours of surgery accomplished what years of therapy, rumination, and denial could not -- and allowed Ken Baker to finally feel -- and function -- like a man. Now Ken's story comes to the screen in the feature film, The Late Bloomer, starring Academy Award-winner J.K. Simmons and Jane Lynch.

Download or read book Bland Encounter written by Donald Wightman and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take the slap-stick farce of a 1950’s Ealing comedy and update it with a generous portion of risqué humour – this is the laugh-out-loud comedy novel by Donald Wightman. The Bridgnorth writer used his own on-train experiences to create his story. ‘I set out to devise an original plot packed with humour and quirky characters. My own railway industry knowledge provided the ideal platform for this hilarious, read-between-the-lines comedy novel, Bland Encounter. With a heritage railway on my own doorstep, a trip along its meandering route would inevitably fire-up my imagination and help me to create new ways of thickening the plot.’ Woven through with gentle humour as well as outbreaks of pure farce, Bland Encounter features an off-the-wall main character surrounded by a host of amusing supporting roles. Dave Bland is a man struggling to make a new life after the break up of his marriage. The middle-aged train manager turns to an internet dating site and soon gets embroiled in intrigue. Is the mysterious Galina a high-class hooker, a hit woman or simply a lady looking for love? When she arrives in the UK, he invites her into his home, but complications arise when Galina’s niece appears on the scene. A sex-trade worker down on her luck, Irina needs a place to stay. With money tight, old habits die hard, so Dave formulates a plan for Irina and her colleagues to target Trainspotters who are due in town for a special steam weekend. Chaos ensues when members of a rival steam railway try to sabotage the event. The mayhem increases when a train wrecks a nearby Safari Park. Order is eventually restored, but the consequences prove crucial for the people involved.

Download or read book Maid of Shadow written by Douglas Milewski and published by Elemental Pea. This book was released on 2020-09-05 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pabi is used to acting on her own. She's a hard worker who gets things done, and she doesn't need anybody else getting underfoot. Given hard knocks, she takes them and gets back up. That's what it means to work for a verifiable hero who rides dragons and fights anything. When Pabi's boss sticks her with two other girls her own age, she finds her freedom trampled. One is a “miss perfect” dragon rider who seems to succeed at everything, and the other is a girl who invents magical contraptions. For a person whose main skill is getting lost in a crowd, having other people along really cramps her style. How did she get here? That’s a complicated story.

Part One also includes details of some of Professor Ginzburg's work, including superconductivity and superfluidity. Part Two encompasses several articles on the lives and works of several prominent physicists, including the author. The third part is a collection of articles that provide a personal view of the author, describing his personal views and recollections on a range of wider topics. Taken together, this collection of articles creates an enjoyable review of physics, its philosophy, and key players in its modern development in the 20th Century. Undoubtedly, it will be an enjoyable read for professional physicists and non-scientists alike.
Download or read book Meeting Places of Transformation written by Thomas Born and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happened to the urban spaces of everyday life when the Soviet Union collapsed? And how may this change be understood? Based on long-term qualitative fieldwork in post-Soviet Russia, this study draws upon time-geographic, social and semiotic theory to formulate a model of how urban space is formed. Mirrored through the case of Ligovo/Uritsk, a high-rise residential district situated on the outskirts of Sankt-Peterburg (St Petersburg), the changing relation between the lifeworlds of people and the system of governance is highlighted with regard to the transformation of Soviet and Russian society over the last decades. The empirical material presented here documents a number of processes within urban identity formation, spatial representations and local politics. The resulting findings add both empirically and theoretically to the knowledge of urban cultural geography in Russia—a field of research that until recently was closed to Western researchers, and seems currently to be closing again.The book will be of interest to researchers with an interest in social, semiotic and geographic theory as well as to students and researchers of cultural and urban studies, urban life and Russian affairs. The study could be also helpful to professionals working in fields related to post-Soviet urban identity, spatial representations and local politics.

Book excerpt: One alien has possessed me, body and mind... And the other is just getting started. First, my alien client possessed my body. Then he left Earth forever. Now a rogue shard of him remains within me, and he plays dirty. The alien shard inside me tunes my body, manipulates my senses, and occupies my mind. I fight to resist his lure, but there’s no escape. Not even in my dreams, which he invades fervently. Incessantly. How do I live with a creature that's intent on exposing my deepest needs and darkest desires? And what do I do when his alien creator returns to Earth, radiating a darkness that beckons me to the edge of an unknowable abyss? One of them has already claimed me, body and mind. Now, the other wants to do the same. I'm caught between them and I'm terrified. But the scariest thing of all is... I think I'm starting to want them both. Aliens’ Thirst is a complete duet that combines two interconnected books: Alien’s Host and Aliens’ Vice. It is a steamy science fiction sharing romance with plenty of spook and spice for the fall season.

Download or read book Between the Devil and the Deep written by Pieter-Dirk Uys and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2010-12-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘”Adapt or die!” PW Botha spat out at us from the television news. And so the new show was called Adapt or Dye.’ The comedy of Pieter-Dirk Uys has been with us for as long as we can remember. In this funny, witty and poignant memoir, he takes us on a journey through his life in the theatre - and the theatre in his life. We follow him from his early years as a stage manager and actor at The Space Theatre, via his ridiculous brushes with censorship, to the political satires that made him famous. Uys explains how his alter ego, Evita Bezuidenhout, came into being, as well as the other members of her extraordinary family. He takes us onto the film shoot of Skating on Thin Uys, into an interview with Nelson Mandela, and onto the stages of the world. We journey from the fictitious fun of Bapetikosweti, to the seriousness of his AIDS-awareness presentations at schools, to the quirky comfort of Evita se Perron in Darling. Illustrated with scenes from his plays and revues, the book will leave you feeling as if you’ve just seen a Pieter-Dirk Uys show: with lots of laughter, a bit of anger, and utter amazement at how this man (or woman) just keeps doing it.
