Are you a free thinker? Do you like freedom? Do you consider yourself a free person? Do you want to live free and independently? Would you like a quick summary of social trends in America, but don't have time to do research nor read a big thick book? This short book is written for all of you. It will help you train yourself to be a critical thinker or free thinker so that you can make clear and smart decisions for your life, your future, your family's future, your community's future, and ultimately the future of this country. Irene is a naturalized US citizen, wife, and mother. She grew up in Southeast Asia and has lived in the US for over twenty years. Back in 2016, she started to pay close attention to our country's political situation, observing a stark contrast in opinions, a distortion of information by the media, and a total meltdown in unity as a result of misinformation, propaganda, and conflict. These observations have moved her to write this book. She loves America and loves the US Constitution, which protects all of our freedoms. During the last century, these freedoms have been proven to bring abundance, prosperity, and an explosion of innovations that surpass those of other civilizations for centuries.
Luuletajast talumees Domenec jääb mägedes äikesetormi kätte ja saab välgutabamusest surma. Temast jääb maha naine Sio, kes peab üksi üles kasvatama nende kaks last Mia ja Hilari. Mitmest traagilisest sündmusest puudutatud perekonna talu asub Püreneedes Prantsusmaa piiri ääres, paigas, mis on koduks mitmesugustele olenditele, kel kõigil on Domeneci perekonda tabanud traagiliste sündmuste kohta midagi öelda. Romaanis saavad sõna mehed ja naised, vaimud ja vetehaldjad, pilved ja seened, metskitsed ja koerad, sajandite eest nõidadena surma mõistetud naised ... Paljude häälte kaudu jõuab meieni poeetiline, mänguline, lõbus, kuid ka traagiline lugu paigast, mis lisaks müütidele ja legendidele mäletab sajanditepikkust olelusvõitlust, rumalusest ja fanatismist ajendatud tagakiusamist, vennatapusõdu, kuid mis samas kehastab ka hingematvat ilu. Soodne pinnas, kus lasta fantaasial lennata ja lugudel sündida. Paik, kus kujutleda, et surm, nagu ka elu, ei ole kunagi midagi lõplikku.Irene Sola (snd 1990) on katalaani kirjanik, luuletaja ja kunstnik. Ta on võitnud mitmeid kirjandusauhindu, muu hulgas Anagrama romaaniauhinna (2019) ja Euroopa Liidu Kirjandusauhinna (2020). Kunstnikuna on Sola eksponeerinud oma töid CCCB-s Barcelonas ja Whitechapel Gallerys Londonis. Tema tuntuim romaan "Mina laulan ja mägi tantsib" on tõlgitud enam kui 20 keelde.
A heart-warming nostalgia memoir from a member of the world famous dance troupe, The Tiller Girls. Based in London in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, Irene’s story will transport readers back to a more innocent, simple way of life. This is the story of a little girl who loved to dance. Growing up in London in the 1930s, dancing was so much more to Irene than just a hobby. It was her escape and it took her off into another world away from the harsh realities of life. A fairytale world away from the horrors of WW2, from the grief of losing her father and missing her mother who she didn’t see for three years while she was drafted to help with the war effort. And far away from her cold-hearted grandparents who treated her like an inconvenience. Finally it led to her winning a place as a Tiller Girl; the world’s most famous dance troupe known for their 32-and-a-half high kicks a minute and precise, symmetrical routines. For four years she opened and closed the show at the prestigious London Palladium and performed on stage alongside huge stars such as Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Judy Garland. It was a strange mixture of glamour and bloody hard work but it was certainly never dull. And being a Tiller Girl also gave Irene the opportunity to see firsthand the devastating effects of WW2, both here and abroad. Heart-warming, enlightening and wonderfully uplifting, Irene’s evocative story will transport readers back to a time when every town and holiday resort had several theatres and when dance troupes like The Tiller Girls were the epitome of glitz and glamour.

Plato and the Metaphysical Feminine offers a new interpretation of the role of the female and the feminine in Plato's political dialogues--the Republic, Laws, and Timaeus--informed by Deleuze's film theory and Irigaray's psychoanalytic feminism. Irene Han reads Plato against the grain in order to close the gap between the vitalists and Plato, instead of magnifying their differences. Han explores the ambivalence that the vitalist tradition, Irigaray, and Derrida have towards Platonism. The application of Deleuzian and Irigarayan concepts to the ancient texts produces a new reading of Plato, focusing on the centrality and importance of motion, change, sensuality, and becoming to Platonic philosophy and, thereby, reinterprets Platonic philosophy in the direction of Heraclitus rather than Parmenides: as feminist rather than masculinist, and as mimetic. It therefore prioritizes Heraclitean principles of movement and flux over Form, the feminine over masculine, and materiality, feeling, or sensation over abstraction and universal essence. Han's exploration illustrates how, in Plato's thought, the feminine maps itself onto the plane of phenomena--a plane associated with vitalist themes such as motion, tactility, and change (metabole). Platonic metaphysics is recontextualized by illustrating how Being expresses itself through processes of (feminine) becoming. With this reformulation, the resulting account of Platonic Being destabilizes any purported Platonic dualism.
Street foods are sold in almost every country in the world. Many urban and rural people depend on them for one or more meals each day. This book explores this world of entrepreneurs in developing countries. When all of the participants in the delivery are counted, including local farmers, food processors, and street vendors, one realizes the enormous size of this `industry'. Research conducted by the authors with vendors, local community leaders, and public health officials, worked not only to collect data, but to raise the hygiene of the food that is sold.

The last couple of decades have witnessed an explosion of self-and-identity-related literature, spurred in large part by the rapid growth of cultural, racial, and ethnic diversity in the population of the United States, the desire to better understand the interface between identity and social groups, and the question of whether confronting differences brings about changes in self-representation. Much of this literature has, however, often overlooked the fact that diversity encompasses other domains, including disabilities such as deafness. A Lens on Deaf Identities fills this gap by exploring identity formation in deaf persons. How a deaf person develops in societies or groups with preconceived notions of disability, deafness, and what is best for deaf people has implications not only for the psychological well being and self-esteem of the deaf person, but also for what a deaf identity really means, and who decides that identity. The issue of identify formation amongst this population is fraught-even the terminology used to describe people with deafness or hearing loss contradicts the notion of a single 'deaf experience'-Deaf, deaf, oral deaf, Oral Hearing Loss, hearing impaired, acquired hearing loss, deaf with a 'hearing mind', and so on. The book explores the major influences on deaf identity, including the relatively recent formal recognition of a Deaf culture, the different internalized models of disability and deafness, the appearance of deaf identity theories in the psychological literature, the presence of greater racial and ethnic diversity in deaf individuals, technology (such as the cochlear implant) that strongly affects the identity of deaf people, and deaf people's ongoing experiences of stigma and oppression. A Lens on Deaf Identities will appeal to student and professional researchers in deaf studies and deaf education.
