Download or read book It s a Dick Thing written by Don Koberg and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-05-23 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When men speak anything is possible. Meet the reemerging multi-faceted talking male of the 21st Century, too long waiting silently off stage behind a curtain of macho myth and militant misrepresentation. Within these pages you will discover the true male as related by dozens of sincerely sensitive real men, each in his own manner expressing the fact that men can be men in ways reported all too rarely. Every man knows it takes courage to resolve warm compassionate mothered beginnings with social expectations that he develop into an impassionate, hard-edged gladiator, but real men do it each day. To generalize men as either raging bulls or dull-witted patsies of feminine guile is no longer tolerable in today’s more open arena of homogenized gender. The laughable oaf depicted in sitcoms and feminist backlash and the drooling sex-crazed dullard popularized as a male stereotype by Howard Stern, South Park, and The Man Show are but masks for the truly multi-faceted creature capable of a full spectrum of emotional and creative behaviors. Although the narrow view that genetic testosterone-driven assertiveness can turn men into brutish warriors and rapist conquerors can be supported, most men throughout recorded history have overcome their animal heritage to become romantic tender-hearted and caring lovers and fathers, poets and counselors, chefs, and couturiers. In short, in our own widely varied yet comprehensive way, we men are far more interesting and complex than advertised. No matter how you translate us, it can always be said about whatever we do or say It’s a Dick Thing!
Download or read book How Not to Be a Dick written by Meghan Doherty and published by Zest Books ™. This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the one hand, nobody wants to be a dick. On the other hand, dicks are everywhere! They cut in line, talk behind our backs, recline into our seats, and even have the power to morph into trolls online. Their powers are impressive, but with a little foresight and thoughtfulness, we can take a stand against dickishness today. How Not to Be a Dick is packed with honest and straightforward advice, but it also includes playful illustrations showing two well-meaning (but not always well behaved) young people as they confront moments of potential dickishness in their everyday lives. Sometimes they falter, sometimes they triumph, but they always seek to find a better way. And with their help, you can too. Just see the agreement at the beginning of the book: I pledge to use the tools and techniques provided in this book to help make the world a less dickish place. "Doherty fires absurd twenty-first-century zingers that happen to be really, really, really funny."—starred, Booklist

Download or read book J M Barrie and the Lost Boys written by Andrew Birkin and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2003-07-11 with total page 787 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This literary biography is “a story of obsession and the search for pure childhood . . . Moving, charming, a revelation” (Los Angeles Times). J. M. Barrie, Victorian novelist, playwright, and author of Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up, led a life almost as interesting as his famous creation. Childless in his marriage, Barrie grew close to the five young boys of the Davies family, ultimately becoming their guardian and surrogate father when they were orphaned. Andrew Birkin draws extensively on a vast range of material by and about Barrie, including notebooks, memoirs, and hours of recorded interviews with the family and their circle, to describe Barrie’s life, the tragedies that shaped him, and the wonderful world of imagination he created for the boys. Updated with a new preface and including photos and illustrations, this “absolutely gripping” read reveals the dramatic story behind one of the classics of children’s literature (Evening Standard). “A psychological thriller . . . One of the year’s most complex and absorbing biographies.” —Time “[A] fascinating story.” —The Washington Post
