Dworkin, Faye Linda Wachs PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Are you ripped? Do you need to work on your abs? Do you know your ideal body weight? Your body fat index? Increasingly, Americans are being sold on a fitness ideal — not just thin but toned, not just muscular but cut — that is harder and harder to reach. In Body Panic , Shari L. Dworkin and Faye Linda Wachs ask why. How did these particular body types come to be “fit”? And how is it that having an unfit, or “bad,” body gets conflated with being an unfit, or “bad,” citizen? Dworkin and Wachs head to the newsstand for this study, examining ten years worth of men’s and women’s health and fitness magazines to determine the ways in which bodies are “made” in today’s culture. They dissect the images, the workouts, and the ideology being sold, as well as the contemporary links among he

Needle in a Haystack (An Inspector Lascano Mystery) by Ernesto Mallo Needle in a Haystack (An Inspector Lascano Mystery) by Ernesto Mallo PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad "This is not simply a triumph of style; it is both a reflection on a time of bloodshed and a raw vision of human misery."—Guillermo Saccomanno, winner of the Argentine National Literature Prize "This man knows.

But above all he knows how to narrate."—Ana María Shua, author of El peso de la tentación Superintendent Lascano is a detective working under the shadow of military rule in Buenos Aires in the late 1970s.

Indispensable Immigrants: The Wine Porters of Northern Italy and Their Saint, 1200-1800 by Lester K. Little Indispensable Immigrants: The Wine Porters of Northern Italy and Their Saint, 1200-1800 by Lester K. Little PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad A long-forgotten trade and an unheard-of saint are brought to life in this tale of survival by hard work in the thriving cities of late medieval and early modern northern Italy. Indispensable immigrants recreates the world of peasants from the Alps and the Apennines who in order to survive came down to the cities of the Po Valley to work as wine porters. They joined the stream of labourers from the countryside whose willingness to do the heavy lifting that city dwellers preferred to avoid helped oil the wheels of the urban economy. Their counterparts of today have travelled greater distances to reach their new social and psychological environments, but the challenges they encounter are strikingly similar to those the porters faced long ago.

Mayakovsky: A Poet in the Revolution (Studies of the Harriman Institute, Columbia University) by Edward James Brown Mayakovsky: A Poet in the Revolution (Studies of the Harriman Institute, Columbia University) by Edward James Brown PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad An absorbing portrait of an extraordinary man, an analysis of the work of a great Russian poet, and the evocation of a crucial period in Russian cultural history--all are combined in Edward J. Brown's literary biography of Vladimir Mayakovsky. It is the only book to reveal the whole Mayakovsky, not just aspects of his tortured personality or artistic work, and will be immediately recognized as definitive. Mayakovsky contributed to the cultural life of Soviet Russia not only as a lyric poet but as a playwright, graphic artist, and satirist of the conventional art forms of his day. By examining his art in terms of his life, Edward Brown shows how intensely personal it was and how bound up in the literary and political history
