Mick Hardin is an Army CID officer home on leave, recovering from an IED attack, when a body is found in the centre of town. It''s Barney Kissick, the local heroin dealer, and the city police see his death as an occupational hazard. But when Barney''s mother, Shifty, asks Mick to take a look, it seems there''s more to the killing than it appears. Mick should be rehabbing his leg, signing his divorce papers, and getting out of town - and most of all, staying out of the way of his sister Linda''s reelection as Sheriff - but he keeps on looking, and suddenly he''s getting shot at himself. A dark, pacy crime novel about grief and revenge, and the surprises hidden below the surface, Shifty''s Boys is a tour de force that confirms Chris Offutt''s Mick Hardin as one of the most appealing new investigators in fiction.

It’s about what it means to be a pop star, what it means to be a Pet Shop Boy… how to love pop, hold it to a higher standard and subvert its expectations.’ Laura Snapes

The role of men is critical when it comes to preventing sexual assault.Gordon Braxton was in his second year of college before anybody bothered to speak to him about sexual violence, despite the fact that he already knew friends and family members that had survived a sexual assault. Unfortunately, this is a common experience as many young men and boys, especially Black boys, do not have an opportunity to discuss their views on sexual violence and what role they might play in preventing it. Empowering Black Boys to Challenge Rape Culture supports the training of a rising generation by providing commentary from an experienced educator, an overview of existing research and preventative techniques, and insight into young men''s perspectives on violence. The result is a powerful new perspective on violence prevention--the first to focus on Black boys and to be written by a Black male author.The most critical lesson that boys need to learn is that they have an essential role to play in preventing sexual violence. So many of them accept this violence as beyond their control when they could be valuable agents of change. More and more parents and mentors of boys are coming to address sexual violence ...

What do Pablo Picasso, Prince and Martin Luther King Jr have in common? All have been described as having been highly sensitive boys and all grew up to be outstanding, sensitive men. Too often, adults think of sensitive boys as shy, anxious and inhibited. They are measured against society''s ideas about ''manliness'' -- that all boys are sociable, resilient and have endless supplies of energy. This highly readable guide is for any adult wanting to know how to understand and celebrate sensitive boys. It describes how thinking about boys in such old-fashioned ways can cause great harm, and make a difficult childhood all the more painful. The book highlights the real strengths shared by many sensitive boys - of being compassionate, highly creative, thoughtful, fiercely intelligent and witty. It also flips common negative clichés about sensitive boys being shy, anxious and prone to bullying to ask instead: what we can do to create a supportive environment in which they will flourish?Full of simple yet sage advice, this book will help you to encourage boys to embrace their individuality, find their own place in the world, and to be the best they can be.

Inspire boys to be confident and caring through the biographies of 50 fascinating men, past and present, representing the under-represented fields of health, education, the arts, and literacy (HEAL).Inspired by his own experiences as a father and policy expert, Richard Reeves’s groundbreaking book Of Boys and Men uncovered some of the ways and extents to which boys and men have been falling behind and imagined initiatives like “He Can H.E.A.L.” to inspire boys to pursue paths that they might otherwise feel are inaccessible or inappropriate for them. He says:“Gender equality is not a zero sum game. We can do more for boys and men without doing less for women and girls. We can be passionate about women’s rights, and compassionate towards the struggles of boys and men.”Working with national elementary art educator of the year Jonathan Juravich, Richard puts “He Can H.E.A.L.” into action with Yes, Boys Can!, a book for boys ages 8 to 12 that tells the stories of men who have followed their dreams, cared for others, and changed the world, conveyed through biography, illustration, and simple suggested activities.Here are just a few of the many compassionate and enterprising men introduced:Booker T.

With over 2.2 million subscribers, and more than 1 billion views, the BBQ Pit Boys are by far the most-watched barbecue cooks on YouTube. And they are Facebook''s number 1 BBQ show. They have millions of people in their online BBQ "community" -- the largest in the world -- and there are good reasons for that. Dressed casually in black T-shirts, jeans and sunglasses, the BBQ Pit Boys are the antithesis of your typical cooking-show host with their usual fast patter and gleaming kitchen countertops. Instead they show backyard grillers how to make great BBQ with a few simple elements: charcoal, a grill, a sharp knife and marinades or rubs. And they do it in a low-key, Southern-inflected and confident way, with blues music in the background and an average-joe script.

The incendiary new book about toxic masculinity and misogyny from Clementine Ford, author of the best-selling feminist manifesto, Fight Like A Girl. Fearless feminist heroine Clementine Ford’s incendiary first book, Fight Like A Girl, is taking the world by storm, galvanising women to demand and fight for real equality and not merely the illusion of it. Now Boys Will Be Boys examines what needs to change for that equality to become a reality. It answers the question most asked of Clementine: ''How do I raise my son to respect women and give them equal space in the world? How do I make sure he''s a supporter and not a perpetrator?'' Ford demolishes the age-old assumption that superiority and aggression are natural realms for boys, and demonstrates how toxic masculinity creates a disturbingly limited and potentially dangerous idea of what it is to be a man. Crucially, Boys Will Be Boys reveals how the patriarchy we live in is as harmful to boys and men as it is to women and girls, and asks what we have to do to reverse that damage. The world needs to change and this book shows the way.

For readers of Monsters and Gay Bar, a ferocious inquiry into art and desire, style and politics, madness and salvation, and coming of age in our volatile, image-obsessed present.You know them when you see them: mean boys take up space, wielding cruelty to claim their place in the pecking order.

Těžká váha domácího showbusinessu - hvězda naší pop music Těžkej Pokondr - ohlašuje velký comeback! Pokondři slaví letos více než dvacet let na scéně a vydávají nové album Star Boys. Nové album Star Boys se bez nadsázky zařadí mezi klenoty jejich bohaté diskografie. Pokondři ve skvělé formě v roce 2017 servírují opět hity blízké i vzdálenější minulosti s českými texty, které nejenom parodují samotné světové a domácí šlágry, ale zároveň s nadhledem glosují dění kolem nás. Na Star Boys tak nechybí například I'm Scatmen, kde Pokondři s českým textem Kretén a za spolupráce Matěje Rupperta udrželi vysokou laťku původního scatu, navíc s reflexí dění na sociálních sítích. Kretén je zároveň i pilotní singl alba doplněný videoklipem. Taneční hity zde dále reprezentují skladby Má asi křena (Macarena), kde si zahostovala Adéla Gondíková, My jsme šoumeni (We Are Family), Už nechcem hulit!!! (I Like To Move It) nebo eroticky dráždivá Já su sexy (I'm Too Sexy). Klasické rockové kousky zastupují Ice Hockey Tiger čili Náš Jarda Jágr (Eye Of The Tiger) a Superstar (I Love Rock And Roll). Legendární poprocková balada Love Hurts tady zní jako Levhart a píseň Easy, proslavená kapelami The Commodores a Faith No More, se přerodila ve Schízy. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Back in print in an expanded edition, this richly illustrated survey of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s entire career is timed to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their acclaimed Gates project  Christo (1935–2020) and Jeanne-Claude’s (1935–2009) landscape-scaled, outdoor projects were astounding temporary works of art in public settings that captured headlines across the globe. For sixteen days in February of 2005, their most celebrated installation, The Gates—7,500 saffron-colored fabric panels suspended from the tops of vinyl gates—stood along 23 miles of walkways in New York City’s Central Park.  This book celebrates the twentieth anniversary of The Gates with photographs of their installation alongside reproductions of the preparatory drawings that Christo created as he planned the project. An essay by Jonathan Fineberg surveys the career of Christo and Jeanne-Claude and their life journey through projects such as Surrounded Islands in Miami, The Umbrellas in Japan and California, Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin, and many more. This expanded edition also includes an epilogue that considers the artists’ works after The Gates—including Floating Piers in Italy and L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped in Paris—and a 2017 interview Fineberg conducted with Christo, one of the artist’s last.  This new edition is published on the occasion ...

The incredible story of an all-deaf high school football team’s triumphant climb from underdog to undefeated, their inspirational brotherhood, a fascinating portrait of deafness in America, and the indefatigable head coach who spearheaded the team, by New York Times reporter and Page One Correspondent, Thomas Fuller."The Boys of Riverside is another example of how anyone can achieve their dreams, making what appears impossible, possible.” —Marlee Matlin, Academy Award winnerIn November 2021, an obscure email from the California Department of Education landed in New York Times reporter, Thomas Fuller’s, inbox. The football team at the California School for the Deaf in Riverside, a state-run school with only 168 high school students, was having an undefeated season. After years of covering war, wildfires, pandemic, and mass shootings, Fuller was captivated by the story of this group of high school boys. It was uplifting. During the gloom of the pandemic, it was a happy story. It was a sports story but not an ordinary one, built on the chemistry between a group of underestimated boys and their superhero advocate coach, Keith Adams, a deaf former athlete himself. The team, and Adams, tackled the many stereotypes and seemed to be succeeding. Fuller packed his ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Since the mid-2000s, consistent commentary from politicians and media outlets in the UK have presented low educational attainment and low aspiration as defining attributes of working-class boys in education. It has often characterised them as misogynistic, aggressive and unwilling to learn. But how true is this? Combining research, real-life case studies and the author’s experience of navigating school exclusion, this book provides clear recommendations for how to better support the health, wellbeing and vulnerabilities of working-class boys and men through both policy and practice. Challenging us to reconsider ideas about the role of masculinity in the lives of working-class boys and men, the book asks what would change if, instead of focusing on perceived individual failures, we considered the troubled relationship between working-class boys and the social and educational systems in which they reside.
