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"

Adrienne Young, autorka úspešnej série Fable, sa vracia do sveta Úžin s tajomným príbehom SvätecElias sa ešte ako malý chlapec na vlastnej koži presvedčil, čo sa stane, keď nedáva pozor na to, čo sa hovorí v starých príbehoch.O deväť rokov neskôr sa z prístavu do prístavu šíria príbehy o synovi rybára, ktorý dokáže vyviaznuť aj z tých najdesivejších búrok, jeho oddanosť mýtom a viere mu prináša povesť sviniara, ktorý má z plavieb Úžinami nesmiernu radosť. Teraz Eliasa delí len pár dní od toho, aby získal všetko, o čom kedysi jeho nebohý otec sníval: vlastnú loď, posádku a obchodnú licenciu, vďaka ktorej sa má stať jedným z prvých kupcov pochádzajúcich z Úžin. No keď mu skríži cestu mladá hľadačka z Bezmenného mora, ktorá skrýva viac než len jedno tajomstvo, Eliasova viera podstúpi skúšku, o akej sa mu ani nesnívalo.Čím viac ho to k nej ťahá, tým viac sa vzďaľuje od všetkého, na čom počas posledných troch rokov tak tvrdo pracoval. Elias je nebezpečne blízko k tomu, aby zopakoval svoje chyby a aby na vlastné oči opäť videl, aké kruté dokáže byť more zaplavené žiarlivosťou.Ak má prežiť zaslúžený trest, ktorý si preňho more nachystalo, bude sa musieť rozhodnúť, čo chce viac – ...

“Grease, Tell Me More, Tell Me More is a fabulous rockin’ and rollin’ origin story with every juicy inspiration that went into creating it. . . . A must read for all Grease fans.” —Didi Conn, Grease’s “Frenchy”  What started as an amateur play with music in a converted trolly barn in Chicago hit Broadway fifty years ago—and maintains its cultural impact today. Grease opened downtown in the Eden Theatre February 14, 1972, short of money, short of audience, short of critical raves, and seemingly destined for a short run. But like the little engine that could, this musical of high school kids from the 1950s moved uptown. On December 8, 1979, it became the longest running show—play or musical—in Broadway history. Grease: Tell Me More, Tell Me More is a collection of memories and stories from over one hundred actors and musicians, including the creative team and crew who were part of the original Broadway production and in the many touring companies it spawned. Here are stories—some touching, some hilariously funny—from names you may recognize: Barry Bostwick, John Travolta, Adrienne Barbeau, Treat Williams, Marilu Henner, Peter Gallagher, and others you may not: Danny Jacobson, creator of Mad About ...

Taking its title from Darwin''s On the Origin of Species, Adrienne Chung''s debut collection asks why we cling so dearly to the vestigial parts of our psychologies - residues of first impressions, thought spirals to nowhere, memories that persist despite outliving their usefulness. The speaker in these poems tries to wear more color, indulges in Y2K nostalgia and falls in and out of love; a Jungian psychoanalyst has a field day with her dreams. While Darwin was perplexed and ultimately dismissive of these seemingly useless body parts, Organs of Little Importance reframes and repositions the apparent uselessness of our compulsions, superstitions, errant thoughts, and other selves. In diptychs and ghazals, sonnets and lullabies, Chung collects and preserves pieces of psychological debris as one would care for precious heirlooms, revealing their surprising potential to become sites of meaning and connection.

Exploring the role the decorative arts played in the representation of Black people in European visual and material culture  This revelatory look at European decorative arts addresses the long-ignored implications of the depiction of Black bodies on luxury objects from the Baroque period through the nineteenth century. Adrienne L. Childs traces the complex history of the vogue for representing the Black body as an ornamental motif throughout spaces of wealth and refinement. Objects such as furniture, porcelain, clocks, silver, light fixtures, and more conveyed the taste for exoticism and portrayed the laboring Black body in the guise of décor. These objects also express larger ideas about the concept of race, romantic notions of distant lands, the harsh realities of slave labor in the colonies, the presence of Black servants in wealthy European households, and the culture of luxury consumption.  Ornamental Blackness demonstrates how seemingly benign decorative objects can embody the complexities of race, slavery, and representation. Childs examines the tensions inherent in the system of codes in which the Black body can be enslaved, reviled, feared, subjugated, and assaulted on one hand and a symbol of opulence on the other. In this important volume she establishes a framework ... Unknown localization key: "more"

This edition includes, in addition to the most pertinent sections of The Fable''s two volumes, a selection from Mandeville''s An Enquiry into the Origin of Honor and selections from two of Mandeville’s most important sources: Pierre Bayle and the Jansenist Pierre Nicole. Hundert''s Introduction places Mandeville in a number of eighteenth-century debates--particularly that of the nature and morality of commercial modernity--and underscores the degree to which his work stood as a central problem, not only for his immediate English contemporaries, but for such philosophers as Hume, Rousseau, and Kant. The selections are substantive enough to faithfully represent Mandeville the social theorist, and compact enough to be used in courses that can afford to spend no more than a week on his work.
