In alternating chapters that reveal a nascent period in their development as two of the twentieth century''s most influential writers, Beat Generation icons William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac''s And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks is an electrifying true-life mystery, including afterword by James Grauerholtz in Penguin Modern Classics.This is a hardboiled crime novel, and a true story. In 1944, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs, then still unknown writers, were both arrested following a murder: one of their friends had stabbed another and then come to them for advice - neither had told the police. Later they wrote this fictionalised account of that summer - of a group of friends in wartime New York, moving through each other''s apartments, drinking, necking, talking and taking drugs and haphazardly drifting towards a bloody crime. Unpublished for years, And the Hippos were Boiled in their Tanks is a remarkable insight into the lives and literary development of two great writers.

The new edition of Salinger’s ever-relevant series of 1980s and ’90s teenagers in their bedroomsBedrooms contain the past, the present and the future; they are sites of continual transformation. Popular culture and fashion continually change and recycle. While specific objects of decor change over time, teenagers'' bedrooms are still private sanctuaries: spaces for safely experimenting during a time in life when one is forming and expressing ever-evolving identities.Upon its release in 1995, Adrienne Salinger’s book In My Room was an immediate success, selling nearly 24,000 copies in its first few years. The continued popularity of this work made in the ’80s and ’90s is curious. However, over the nearly 30 years since, and especially in the most recent decade of social media, the work''s appeal has grown tremendously. In some cases, the work evokes nostalgia, but not primarily so. Adrienne Salinger hears from current teenagers often; many send her pictures of their bedrooms today. Social media encourages users to endlessly "rebrand" their identities, creating idealized fantasies, striving for perfection. These photographs are not about perfection. They give voice to the contradictions of our identities.Hundreds of print and online articles, interviews and features on In My Room have been published and ... Unknown localization key: "more"

In a book that Van Jones calls a “game changer” and Baz Dreisinger calls “a must-read,” the founder of Alliance for Safety and Justice dispels the myth that mass incarceration benefits crime victims and offers a transformative new vision for public safetyHailed as “a passionate and provocative indictment of how the victims’ rights movement has warped the American justice system” (Publishers Weekly), In Their Names dispels the myth that mass incarceration benefits victims, and proposes a new public safety paradigm that recognizes victims’ true safety needs. Lenore Anderson, whom the distinguished criminologist David Kennedy calls “one of the most effective criminal justice reformers America has ever had,” demonstrates how, in the 1980s, victims’ rights political activism morphed into a demand for more incarceration “in their names,” while bringing about policies that fuel more trauma than they heal. Called “well-researched, results-driven, and readable” by Booklist, In Their Names “deserves a wide audience, from policymakers to ordinary citizens alike,” according to James Forman Jr., Yale Law School professor and author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning Locking Up Our Own. At a time when U.S. crime policy is increasingly debated in politics and media, the lessons and message of this book are current—and urgent. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Banks have taken a backseat since the global financial crisis over a decade ago. Today, our new financial masters are asset managers, like Blackstone and BlackRock. And they don't just own financial assets.The roads we drive on; the pipes that supply our drinking water; the farmland that provides our food; energy systems for electricity and heat; hospitals, schools, and even the homes in which many of us live-all now swell asset managers' bulging investment portfolios.As the owners of more and more of the basic building blocks of everyday life, asset managers shape the lives of each and every one of us in profound and disturbing ways. In this eye-opening follow-up to Rentier Capitalism, Brett Christophers peels back the veil on ""asset manager society.""Asset managers, he shows, are unlike traditional owners of housing and other essential infrastructure. Buying and selling these life-supporting assets at a dizzying pace, the crux of their business model is not long-term investment and careful custodianship but making quick profits for themselves and the investors that back them.In asset manager society, the natural and built environments that sustain us become one more vehicle for siphoning money from the many to the few.

This volume offers an eyewitness account of life in the classical world. The author has selected a series of telling extracts from Greek literature to provide a picture of the customs, concerns and underlying values of the ancient Greeks. The Greeks speak for themselves, both in the formal language of public office and in the colloquial speech of the household and the street. Their words reveal activities and opinions which are sometimes remarkably similar to those of the modern day, but which are otherwise so different that they are difficult for us to understand.The extracts have been selected from a variety of sources and record not only the lives of famous Greeks, but - perhaps more importantly - offer an insight into the lives of more ordinary individuals. Poetry, hymns and war-songs are included, as are quotations from official documents, inscriptions, laws, histories, funerary monuments, war-memorials and graffiti. This compilation gives an impression of the public and private facets of Greek life, providing an insight into the mentality of the Greeks.

I have been exiled from my body. I was ejected at a very young age and I got lost.Playwright, author and activist Eve Ensler has devoted her life to the female body - how to talk about it, how to protect and value it. Yet she spent many years disassociated from her own - a disconnection brought on by her father''s sexual abuse and her mother''s remoteness.While working in the Congo, Ensler is shattered to encounter the horrific rape and violence inflicted on the women there. Soon after, she is diagnosed with uterine cancer, and through months of treatment she is forced to become first and foremost a body - pricked, punctured, cut, scanned. It is then that all distance is erased. As she connects her own illness to the devastation of the earth, her life force to the resilience of humanity, she is finally, fully - and gratefully - joined to the body of the world.

He has studied with indigenous teachers from the Arctic Circle to the USA and South America, and has taken part in ceremonies in such diverse locations as Welsh caves to the depths of the Amazon rainforest. Nowadays, Ya’Acov continues to study and regularly journeys to the Ecuadorean Amazon to work alongside the Achuar and Sápara people.For thousands of years, shamans helped the people in their communities remain in balance with themselves, each other, the natural world and the spirit world.
