Free Download Larry Gross, "Up from Invisibility: Lesbians, Gay Men, and the Media in America"
English | 2002 | pages: 320 | ISBN: 0231119526, 0231119534 | EPUB | 1,6 mb
A half century ago gay men and lesbians were all but invisible in the media and, in turn, popular culture. With the lesbian and gay liberation movement came a profoundly new sense of homosexual community and empowerment and the emergence of gay people onto the media's stage. And yet even as the mass media have been shifting the terms of our public conversation toward a greater acknowledgment of diversity, does the emerging "visibility" of gay men and women do justice to the complexity and variety of their experience? Or is gay identity manipulated and contrived by media that are unwilling―and perhaps unable―to fully comprehend and honor it?

'Clinical epidemiology' is now widely promoted and taught as a 'basic science' of Evidence-Based Medicine, of clinical EBM to be specific.

Free Download Friedrich Nietzsche, "Unpublished Fragments from the Period of Dawn (Winter 1879/80-Spring 1881): Volume 13 "
English | ISBN: 1503636984 | 2023 | 530 pages | PDF | 15 MB
This volume provides the first English translation of Nietzsche's unpublished notes from late 1879 to early 1881, the period in which he authored Dawn, the second book in the trilogy that began with Human, All Too Human and concluded with The Joyful Science. In these fragments, we see Nietzsche developing the conceptual triad of morals, customs, and ethics, which undergirds his critique of morality as the reification into law or dogma of conceptions of good and evil. Here, Nietzsche assesses Christianity's role in the determination of moral values as the highest values and of redemption as the representation of humanity's highest aspirations. These notes show the resulting tension between Nietzsche's contrasting thoughts on modernity, which he critiques as an unrecognized aftereffect of the Christian worldview, but also views as the springboard to "the dawn" of a transformed humanity and culture. The fragments further allow readers insight into Nietzsche's continuous internal debate with exemplary figures in his own life and culture-Napoleon, Schopenhauer, and Wagner-who represented challenges to hitherto existing morals and culture-challenges that remained exemplary for Nietzsche precisely in their failure. Presented in Nietzsche's aphoristic style,

Free Download David Rodriguez, "The View from Above in American Literature: Aerial Description, the Imaginary and the Form of Environment"
English | ISBN: 1399522922 | 2024 | 208 pages | PDF | 56 MB
Readers encounter the environment through literature in ways not available to everyday perception. This is especially clear when a text integrates the grand vistas of what is known as the bird's-eye view. In this welcome contribution to the contemporary theoretical discussion about storied environments and non-human perceptions, David Rodriguez presents an original interpretation of the aesthetics of the view from above. Focusing on fiction by twentieth-century American writers including Willa Cather, Paul Bowles and Don DeLillo, Rodriguez skilfully combines ecocriticism, narrative theory and phenomenological approaches to literature to develop the term 'form of environment'. This theory of literary fiction foregrounds the environment not as setting or historical context, but as an equal agent with the human figures and scales that are normally the focus of literary analysis.

Free Download Daniel Kiel, "The Transition: Interpreting Justice from Thurgood Marshall to Clarence Thomas"
English | ISBN: 150363065X | 2023 | 376 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Every Supreme Court transition presents an opportunity for a shift in the balance of the third branch of American government, but the replacement of Thurgood Marshall with Clarence Thomas in 1991 proved particularly momentous. Not only did it shift the ideological balance on the Court; it was inextricably entangled with the persistent American dilemma of race. In The Transition, this most significant transition is explored through the lives and writings of the first two African American justices on Court, touching on the lasting consequences for understandings of American citizenship as well as the central currents of Black political thought over the past century.
