Book excerpt: I credit my grandma, my Aunt Sara and my mom for my love of cooking. As a kid I would hang around the kitchen as my family cooked and socialized. The end result was either a casual dinner or an intimate supper, but always fabulous! It wasn't until I moved to Ames and had to fend for myself that I discovered I also had the ability to cook. The kitchen in our tiny apartment was far from gourmet but it didn't stop me from cooking. Now, as I quickly approach the end of my senior year in graphic design, I decided to put together a collection of the recipes I've tried with roommates and friends at Iowa State through the years. My life changed for the better when I adopted my Shiba Inu, Louie, this past January. He brings me just as much happiness as cooking does. It's hard to deny our furry friends when they sit and wait patiently for just a nibble. Louie has been a taste tester for many of these recpies; however, they are not specifically intended for dogs. Therefore, I have included a few pupcake recipes, which are dog friendly cupcakes that Louie loves. Enjoy!

Book Political Anxiety in Golden Age Children s Classics and Their Contemporary Adaptations

Download or read book Political Anxiety in Golden Age Children s Classics and Their Contemporary Adaptations written by Jasmin Sültemeyer and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-07-05 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As striking, counter-intuitive and distasteful as the combination of children and anxiety may seem, some of the most popular children's classics abound in depictions of traumatic relationships, bloody wars and helpless heroes. This book draws on Freudian and Lacanian anxiety models to investigate the psychological and political significance of this curious juxtaposition, as it stands out in Golden Age novels from both sides of the Atlantic and their present-day adaptations. The stories discussed in detail, so the argument goes, identify specific anxieties and forms of anxiety management as integral elements of hegemonial middle-class identity. Apart from its audacious link between psychoanalysis and Marxist, feminist, as well as postcolonial ideology criticism, this study provides a nuanced analysis of the ways in which allegedly trivial texts negotiate questions of individual and (trans)national identities. In doing so, it offers a fresh look at beloved tales like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz and Peter Pan, contributes to the dynamic field of adaptation studies and highlights the necessity to approach children's entertainment more seriously and more sensitively than it is generally the case.

  • Author : Mary Ellen Snodgrass
  • Publisher : McFarland
  • Release : 2015-01-24
  • ISBN : 1476602603
  • Pages : 241 pages

Download or read book Amy Tan written by Mary Ellen Snodgrass and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-01-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1980s, Amy Tan was a successful but unhappy corporate speechwriter. By the end of the decade, she was perched firmly atop the best-seller lists with The Joy Luck Club, with more popular novels to follow. Tan's work--once pigeonholed as ethnic literature--resonates with universal themes that cross cultural and ideological boundaries, and prove wildly successful with readers of all stripes. Tender, sincere, complex, honest and uncompromising in its portrayal of Chinese culture and its affect on women, Amy Tan's work earned her both praise and excoriation from critics, adoration from fans, and a place as one of America's most notable modern writers. This reference work introduces and summarizes Amy Tan's life, her body of literature, and her characters. The main text is comprised of entries covering characters, dates, historical figures and events, allusions, motifs and themes from her works. The entries combine critical insights with generous citations from primary and secondary sources. Each entry concludes with a selected bibliography. There is also a chronology of Tan's family history and her life. Appendices provide an overlapping timeline of historical and fictional events in Tan's work; a glossary of foreign terms found in her writing; and a list of related writing and research topics. An extensive bibliography and a comprehensive index accompany the text.

Book A Foot in the River

  • Author : Felipe Fernández-Armesto
  • Publisher : OUP Oxford
  • Release : 2015-10-08
  • ISBN : 0191061859
  • Pages : 324 pages

Download or read book A Foot in the River written by Felipe Fernández-Armesto and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-10-08 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are a weird species. Like other species, we have a culture. But by comparison with other species, we are strangely unstable: human cultures self-transform, diverge, and multiply with bewildering speed. They vary, radically and rapidly, from time to time and place to place. And the way we live -- our manners, morals, habits, experiences, relationships, technology, values -- seems to be changing at an ever accelerating pace. The effects can be dislocating, baffling, sometimes terrifying. Why is this? In A Foot in the River, best-selling historian Felipe Fernández-Armesto sifts through the evidence and offers some radical answers to these very big questions about the human species and its history -- and speculates on what these answers might mean for our future. Combining insights from a huge range of disciplines, including history, biology, anthropology, archaeology, philosophy, sociology, ethology, zoology, primatology, psychology, linguistics, the cognitive sciences, and even business studies, he argues that culture is exempt from evolution. Ultimately, no environmental conditions, no genetic legacy, no predictable patterns, no scientific laws determine our behaviour. We can consequently make and remake our world in the freedom of unconstrained imaginations. A revolutionary book which challenges scientistic assumptions about culture and how and why cultural change happens, A Foot in the River comes to conclusions which readers may well find by turns both daunting and also potentially hugely liberating.

  • Pages : 187 pages

Download or read book Daisy and Bernard written by Nick Aaron and published by Another Imprint Publishers. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1989 the Iron Curtain was unravelling, and Daisy Hayes had just become a pensioner who liked to do her ironing while listening to the latest news on the radio. The doorbell chimed. A police officer handed over a summons—printed in Braille. Daisy was being asked to testify about a baffling and gruesome murder, and had to follow the policeman at once. During the ride to New Scotland Yard, even before the first interview took place, the blind lady reflected that, though she knew nothing about this case, she would not be able to prove her innocence without revealing the two murders she actually had committed—many years ago. In an original twist to the “good cop-bad cop” routine, the older police investigator in charge of this strange case seemed to be very much in love with the blind suspect, and encouraged her to come clean and find redemption at long last. “As we have almost come to expect from this author, Nick Aaron playfully tweaks and mixes the conventions of different genres, offering us a compelling murder mystery that is at the same time a heart-rending romance.” – The Weekly Banner
