Описание:

Artifacts of Thinking: Reading Arendt’s “Denktagebuch” offers a path through Hannah Arendt’s recently published Denktagebuch, or “Book of Thoughts.” In this book a number of innovative Arendt scholars come together to ask how we should think about these remarkable writings in the context of Arendt’s published writing and broader political thinking.
Unique in its form, the Denktagebuch offers brilliant insights into Arendt’s practice of thinking and writing. Artifacts of Thinking provides an introduction to the Denktagebuch as well as a glimpse of these fascinating but untranslated fragments that reveal not only Arendt’s understanding of “the life of the mind” but her true lived experience of it.

One of NPR's Best Books of 2017


The first in-depth social investigation into the development and rising popularity of Botox


The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery estimates there are about two-and-a-half million Botox procedures performed annually, and that number continues to increase. The procedure is used as a preventive measure against aging and a means by which bodies, particularly women’s, can be transformed and “improved” through the appearance of youth. But why is Botox so popular, and why is aging such a terrifying concept?

Botox Nation draws from engaging, in-depth interviews with Botox users and providers as well as Dana Berkowitz’s own experiences receiving the injections. The interviews reveal the personal motivations for using Botox and help unpack how anti-aging practices are conceived by, and resonate with, everyday people. Berkowitz is particularly interested in how Botox is now being targeted to younger women; since Botox is a procedure that must be continually administered to work, the strategic choice to market to younger women, Berkowitz argues, aims to create lifetime consumers.

Berkowitz also analyzes magazine articles, advertisements, and even medical documents to consider how narratives of aging are depicted. She employs a critical feminist lens to consider the construction of feminine bodies and selves, and explores the impact of cosmetic medical interventions aimed at maintaining the desired appearance of youth, the culture of preventative medicine, the application of medical procedures to seemingly healthy bodies, and the growth and technological advancement to the anti-aging industry. A captivating and critical story, Botox Nation examines how norms about bodies, gender, and aging are constructed and reproduced on both cultural and individual levels.

Описание: With five gorgeous older sisters, what's an "ugly sister" to do? Pursue and win the handsomest man in town But joy is short-lived as the Nazi death machine roars down to destroy everything they value and everyone they love. The sisters turn to politics, prayer and deception, tradition and dependency, even taking up arms. A beautiful sister poses as a German and she becomes the true UGLY SISTER . The youngest sister shows her inner beauty and strength, and, will not let anything-neither the monstrous butchers nor a raging God-keep her from her beloved. THE UGLY SISTER is a novel of the Holocaust that is different from any you have read before. The heroes and villains of this story are women just as they were in real life. Based on real people and events, it comes alive today, because we live in a world where anti-Semitism is again on the rise, and where women are still so far from realizing their human potential. In the tradition of The Book Thief and Sarah's Key, THE UGLY SISTER is best-selling author Gila Berkowitz's epic novel of family. It is about the love and faith that can bind a family tightly, and the envy and betrayal that can rip it apart.
