https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34668742-pitch-perfect | 34668742-pitch-perfect | Pitch Perfect | ["Sierra Dean"] | 3.73 | 546 | 65 | She’d be the perfect catch if he could take his eye off the ball.
Emmy Kasper knows exactly how lucky she is. In a sport with few opportunities for women at the pro level, she’s just landed her dream job as head athletic trainer for the San Francisco Felons baseball team. Screwing up is not an option.
She’s lost in thought as she pedals to the spring training facility, her mind abuzz with excitement as she rounds a corner—and plows head-on into two runners. The end of her career dances before her eyes when she realizes she’s almost run over the star pitcher.
As Tucker Lloyd watches the flustered Emmy escape with his bandana tied around her skinned knee, the view is a pleasant change from worrying about his flagging fastball. At thirty-six, the tail end of his career is glimmering on the horizon. If he can’t pull something extraordinary out of his ball cap, the new crop of rookies could make this season his last.
The last thing either of them needs is a distraction.
The last thing either of them expects is love.
Warning: Contains a down-on-his-luck pitcher, a good-girl athletic therapist, chemistry that’s out of the park and sexy times that’ll make them round all the bases.

This book has been some 15 years in the making and can claim, with some justification, to be the definitive publication on the ‘Recces’, unlikely to be topped for many, many years. The South African Special Forces have invariably been portrayed as a sinister force, used in covert operations locally and abroad but this is pure political expediency and media propaganda. The unit’s operators are shy, humble soldiers, whose primary role is intelligence-gathering, although they will take offensive action, ruthlessly, if necessary. Highly trained professionals in a class of their own, these elite troops have garnered for themselves an international reputation par excellence. Included in this unique book

Consider the story of Jack Weiss, who, at the age of fourteen, was deported from Hungary to the notorious death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Desperate to stay with his father, and barely able to pass as a grown man, he recounts the horror of inspection upon arrival at Auschwitz by a man he remembers as Joseph Mengele. His period in the camps would be shorter than that of many others, but it ended no less dramatically, with a death march westward as Nazi officers forced inmates of the eastern camps to make a retreat before the advancing Russians. Finding himself alone at the end of the war, he traveled through orphanages and refugee camps dotted across Europe until, finally, at the age of seventeen, he was brought by the Canadian Jewish Congress to Winnipeg, Manitoba, to build a new life for himself. Prompted by his family to preserve his story, Jack Weiss began work on his autobiography. Torn between the desire to forget his Holocaust experience and the need to have his children and grandchildren understand it, Weiss confronted his demons. In the author's own words, "if those who know the truth remain silent, the truth will be lost." | ["Holocaust","War","Hungarian Literature","History"] | 1/1/2005 | {"name":"Jack Weiss","num_books":11,"num_followers":"1"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":1},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":2,"reviews_percentage":3},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":7,"reviews_percentage":12},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":17,"reviews_percentage":31},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":27,"reviews_percentage":50}} | "$4.99" |

The region covered in the guide stretches from Lancelin in the north to Ravensthorpe in the south and as far as Southern Cross in the east.

Polk"] | 5 | 2 | null | The Air Force has multiple initiatives to develop data repositories for high-speed network intrusion detection systems (IDS). All of the developed systems utilize a relational database management system (RDBMS) as the primary data storage mechanism. The purpose of this thesis is to replace the RDBMS in one such system developed by AFRL, the Automated Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE), with a distributed object-oriented database management system (DOODBMS) and observe a number of its performance against the RDBMS in terms of IDS event insertion and retrieval, the distributed aspects of the new system, and the resulting object-oriented architecture. The resulting system, the Object-Oriented Automated Intrusion Detection Environment (OOAIDE), is designed, built, and tested using the DOODBMS Objectivity/DB. Initial tests indicate that the new system is remarkably faster than the original system in terms of event insertion. Object retrievals are also faster when more than one association is used in the query. The database is then replicated and distributed across a simple heterogeneous network with preliminary tests indicating no loss of performance. A standardized object model is also presented that can accommodate any IDS data repository built around a DOODBMS architecture. | null | 10/3/2012 | {"name":"Phillip W.

Allen"] | 3.6 | 5 | 1 | Scholarly studies on the Battle of Midway are prolific, yet few have examined the pivotal role American and Japanese submarines played. Fewer still have challenged the prevailing wisdom held among historians that US airstrikes on vulnerable Japanese fleet carriers marked a turning point in the war, essentially prohibiting Japan from further major naval operations. Midway Submerged presents detailed arguments regarding the tactics employed in the US strategy for the Battle of Midway and effectively argues that submarine warfare played a greater role in the battle's outcome than previously thought. Through meticulous research, military historian Mark W. Allen examines the tactics, performance records, American and Japanese naval doctrine, and each participating submarine's actions. He concludes that the Japanese defeat should not be blamed on ineffective submarine tactics; instead, Allen advocates a closer inspection of the overall Japanese strategic plan. Furthermore, he creates a compelling and engaging new argument that Admiral Chester W. Nimitz made an appropriate decision to use submarines defensively. Allen shows that Nimitz correctly used his available assets to defend Midway against a Japanese amphibious assault, reigniting a need for more scholarly debate on this subject. For scholars of military history, this is a worthy and much-needed addition to the body of work on the Battle of Midway. | ["World War II"] | 10/1/2011 | {"name":"Mark W.

Author Jeff Rasley left the flat land of Indiana to journey through the India and Nepal Himalayas. After several trekking and mountaineering adventures he was welcomed into the community of Basa. The village had a unique indigenous culture, which was unchanged for centuries. But the community decided it wanted a school and asked Rasley for help. He had to ask whether introducing the benefits of modernity would really improve life within a community that has survived contentedly for hundreds of years.
After losing 7 of 10 group members along the way, what Rasley and his two companions found in Basa was a village without a water system, electricity, TVs, radios, phones, vehicles, or machinery of any kind. Each family lived in a stone house with a flower garden. At first, the villagers only asked for help to educate the children. But when they saw lights twinkling across the great river valley, they too wanted electricity in Basa. And so it began.
Bringing Progress to Paradise describes Rasley's transformation from adventurer to committed philanthropist."We are attracted to the simpler way of life in these communities, and we are changed by our experience of it. They are attracted to us,because we bring material benefits." Bringing Progress to Paradise offers Rasley's critical reflection on the tangled relationships among tourists, "do-gooder" missionaries, and native people in "exotic" locales. He provides a surprising analysis of the effect of Western values on some of the most remote locations on earth.

"Why me?" we complain when things go wrong—though seldom when things go right. But although luck has a firm hold on all our lives, we seldom reflect on it in a cogent, concerted way. In Luck , one of our most eminent philosophers offers a realistic view of the nature and operation of luck to help us come to sensible terms with life in a chaotic world. Differentiating luck from fate (inexorable destiny) and fortune (mere chance), Nicholas Rescher weaves a colorful tapestry of historical examples, from the use of lots in the Old and New Testaments to Thomas Gataker’s treatise of 1619 on the great English lottery of 1612, from casino gambling to playing the stock market. Because we are creatures of limited knowledge who do and must make decisions in the light of incomplete information, Rescher argues, we are inevitably at the mercy of luck.

C++ in easy steps, C++ programming (c plus plus, C++ for beginners, computer programming, how to program) The evolution that we have seen in technology in the last 10 years, has seen nearly everything that we interact with on a daily basis be controlled by a computer. As we know, all computers operate using a programming language most commonly referred to as C++. To many, C++ looks like a type of language that they will never be able to understand. However, learning C++ is much easier than you would think. Every process, large or small, are a series of smaller steps which achieve the end result. Although the process as a whole may look like something that you will never understand, all that you need to know is that all complex things are made up of small parts which are easily understood. Once we understand those small parts, we understand the large process which is no longer complex and difficult to understand. When you break down the computer programming language into smaller steps, you will quickly be able to come to terms with what everything means in no time at all. Through this book, you will learn the basics that every beginner wanting to learn about C++ should know. Here is a preview of what you'll learn: How to make our very first C++ program in less than 10 minutes. What software can we use to write C++ code. How to expand our program using variables.

Next to the challenges posed by using materials and spatial concepts that must withstand the forces of wind and water, designers and shipyards must also creatively comply with the increasingly extravagant wishes of the owners. The most important current trend is the demand for extreme flexibility in terms of spaces and fittings that turn the time spent on board into a very special experience – such as a cockpit table that converts into a sun bed with a simple twist of the hand, or into an inviting lounge at the push of a button. This book presents a selection of 40 sailing yachts constituting the entire range of available models of this type of boat – from racers to cruisers, and from the seven-meter-long maritime design gem to the luxury-class mega-yacht with a length of more than 100 meters.

The idea for this book took about ten years to materialize, and it is the author’s hope that its content will constitute the beginning of further explorations beyond current horizons. More speci cally, this book appeals to the reader to engage upon and persevere with a journey, moving through the less well explored territories in the evolution of the very early universe, and pushing towards new landscapes. P- haps, during or after consulting this book, this attitude and this willingness will be embraced by someone, somewhere, and this person will go on to enrich our quantum cosmological description of the early universe, by means of a clearer supersymm- ric perspective. It is to these creative and inquisitive ‘young minds’ that the book is addressed.

Ever since the discovery of that civilization in the early part of the 20th century, almost innumerable efforts have been made by scholar and amateur alike to solve the puzzle of the ancient writing. The author, building on the most enlightened of these efforts and on his intimate experience in the archaeology of the Indus River region has created a methodology which makes possible a major breakthrough for the decipherment of the Harappan writing.
The book describes in detail what this methodology is and applies it to the writing. Over 4,000 inscriptions were studied from which a compilation of these signs used in the script writing, identification of each of the 419 signs involved, and their probable representation of words and sounds in the Harappan language, was made possible.
The book furnishes a model which can be tested. Sign identification lists, possible translations and a beginning of a grammar are included. The motifs associated with the writing are also studied and that relationship analyzed. The consequence of this understanding of the writing and the motif coupled with the already known archaeological evidence is the restoration of ancient life as it was lived in the Western part of the Indian Subcontinent in the 3rd Millennium B.C. While not a claim for decipherment, the model may yet be the most advanced step for decipherment yet taken. | null | 1/1/1992 | {"name":"Fairservis","num_books":3} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":33},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":33},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":33}} | null |

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33862901 | 33862901 | Живот в огъня | ["Marina Tsvetaeva"] | 3.33 | 3 | null | Интимната проза на Марина Цветаева е впечатляващо свидетелство за трагичната съдба и за гения на руската поетеса. Цветан Тодоров е съставил тази книга от изповедни документи (дневници, кореспонденция, бележки), публикувани едва напоследък. От огромния масив лични тетрадки, любовни и приятелски писма, нахвърляни самопризнания на Цветаева, Тодоров е подбрал ярки фрагменти, разкриващи вътрешния мир на тази изключителна жена. Смутните времена до голяма степен обясняват превратната съдба на Цветаева. Но най-впечатляващо в нейните изповеди е напрежението между поетическия й гений, измерим само с абсолютни величини, и всекидневното й обкръжение – интимно, социално, политическо, – следващо логиката на „здравия разум“ и на оцеляването с цената на много компромиси.
Изповедите на Цветаева, проникновено коментирани от Цветан Тодоров, създават първоначално усещане за несъвместимост между живота и поезията. Ала, осмислени по-задълбочено, те утвърждават по неповторим начин истината за неделимата връзка между тях.
Стоян Атанасов
Марина Цветаева е родена през 1892 г. в Москва (Русия), в семейство на интелектуалци – майка й е високо ерудирана концертна пианиста, а баща й Иван Цветаев е изкуствовед, филолог и основател на Московския музей за изобразително изкуство „А. С. Пушкин“. Цветаева започва да пише поезия още като дете, и постепенно това става смисъл на живота й: за нея да пишеш означава да живееш – верую, в което влага цялото си същество. Стихията, с която се отъждествява е огънят, а силата в която вярва – любовта. Обърната към вътрешния си свят и самобитната си душевност видната руска поетеса не успява да изгради връзка с реалния живот. Неслучайно в личните й записки и писма срещаме: „искам да живея с душата си“ и „в жилите ми тече не кръв, а душа“. Това противопоставяне на вътрешно–външно, материални грижи–духовно търсене, е ключово за Цветаева.
Макар знатното й потекло да й позволява да живее в света на стиховете и любовта без да се влияе от заобикалящата я реалност до 1917 г., революцията в Русия, която води до глад и разпадане на старите социални връзки принуждава Цветаева да се сблъска с напълно непознат, далечен до този момент свят. Вече съпруга на белогвардеец и майка на две малки деца, поетесата трябва да се пребори с мизерията и да преживее смъртта на малката си дъщеря. Семейството е принудено да емигрира в Прага, а по-късно се мести в Париж. Постоянната смяна на местоживеене, множеството трудности, бедността, гладът, несигурността са неизменна част от ежедневието на поетесата. В тези тежки за нея дни се ражда и синът й Георгий. Слабохарактерният съпруг на руската поетеса не може да бъде опора нито на нея, нито на децата си. С течение на времето Марина Цветаева се отчуждава от него и дъщеря си, които решават да се върнат в Съветска Русия. Поетесата, за която верността към хората, които обича е на първо място, решава да ги последва заедно със сина си, но в родината си се сблъсква с арестуването на мъжа си и изпращането на дъщеря си в лагер. След избухването на Втората световна война, останала без дом и средства за препитание, на ръба на силите си, поетесата слага край на живота си през 1941 г. Впечатляващо е, че въпреки трагедиите и трудностите, през които преминава, Цветаева не престава да пише и да обича, защото „любовта е Бог“.
Съставителят на книгата, Цветан Тодоров, е световноизвестен философ и литературовед, лингвист, семиотик, литературен критик, историк на философската мисъл и културолог.

In this emotionally compelling account of the fierce fight, James H. Hallas chronicles the extraordinary courage and tactical skills of the 6th Marine Division's junior officers and enlisted men as they captured a network of sophisticated Japanese defenses on Sugar Loaf while under heavy artillery fire from surrounding hills. To give human dimensions to the story, the author draws on his many interviews with participants and skillfully weaves together their individual stories of the sustained close-quarter fighting that claimed more than 2,000 Marine casualties. Pushed to their physical and moral limits during eleven attempts to capture the fifty-foot-high 300-yard-long hill, the Marines' proved their uncommon valor to be a common virtue, and this detailed record of their courage and commitment assures them a permanent place in history. | ["History","World War II","Nonfiction","Military Fiction"] | 3/30/1996 | {"name":"James H.

Mehltretter Drury"] | 3 | 2 | null | The role of public opinion in American democracy has been a central concern of scholars who frequently examine how public opinion influences policy makers and how politicians, especially presidents, try to shape public opinion. But in Speaking with the People’s How Presidents Invoke Public Opinion , Jeffrey P. Mehltretter Drury asks a different question that adds an important new dimension to the study of public How do presidents rhetorically use public opinion in their speeches?
In a careful analysis supported by case studies and discrete examples, Drury develops the concept of “invoked public opinion” to study the modern presidents’ use of public opinion as a rhetorical resource. He defines the term as “the rhetorical representation of the beliefs and values of US citizens.”
Speaking with the People’s Voice considers both the strategic and democratic value of invoked public opinion by analyzing how modern presidents argumentatively deploy references to the beliefs and values of US citizens as persuasive appeals as well as acts of political representation in their nationally televised speeches. | null | 1/1/2014 | {"name":"Jeffrey P.

Neku puževu kućicu za mene...

Nebo crno, prepuno sazvežđa mojih maštanja...
I jedno novo, po nama nazvano...
Moje utočište od nesreće koja se šeta ovim zemljama...
Znaš, tebe je tako jednostavno voljeti...
Na trenutke komplikovano, gotovo nemoguće al..
Jednostavno...
Onako djetinje, po malo pospano, sanjivo...
A opet,
kao da se biserna prašina raspršila po mojoj koži
dok sam u smiraje dana držala tvoj dlan i tiho, najtiše
tvom jastuku šaputala koliko si mi drag...
Koliko mi znači duga u tvom pogledu...
Nije bila bitna boja jastuka,
važni su snovi u njemu,
i sve one tajne koje sam ostavila njemu ispričane...
Znaš, zato nikad ne sanjaš loše snove...
U tome je trik, dušo...
Sakrijem se ponekad u paučinu istkanu da me prekrije...
Tamo, iza tog vela ponosa i jecaja sam sakrila
jednu želju u bisernu školjku...
Sakrila je da je nikad ne izgovorim,
da je nikad ne poželim...
Jer bojim se da bi se mogla ostvariti
pa kud ću onda sa toliko ljubavi i radosti...
Ovako će ostati
samo velika želja za puževu kućicu mojih nadanja,
ostaće sazvežđe po tebi nazvano i po meni krojeno...

Zato ti pravi smicalice, da iza sebe ostavi što više tragova...
Da ti nedostaje toliko da jedva dišeš...
Da svaki tren i svaki san podsjeća na rumeni nosić
koji je jednom sanjao na tom jastuku...
Da te samo podsjeti...
Da sam više bila tvoja nego što ću svoja ikad biti...
I kad vidiš, dušo, da padaju zvijezde
samo se sjeti da negdje tamo, na crnom štofu neba
ima jedno sazvežđe čije zvijezde sjaje samo za nas...
za naše kopije koje će ličiti na svakog drugog osim na nas...
Za tvoju sreću, jedinstvenu i bezuslovnu,

Maylin Kavanagh is on a mission.
After escaping the Warwick Vampires, she’s sworn that the only thing that can stand between her and reaching St. Louis for the next phase of The Program is death itself.
Determined to discover her purpose, her allegiance is with the human race. But the humans aren’t the only ones who want her.
Creed’s people claim that she’s the key to their prophecy and the cure for their curse. So why did he try to kill her?
And if that weren’t enough to ponder, she fears the vampires will hunt her—not for her blood, but for revenge.
As Maylin tries to find her place in a world filled with the supernatural, she realizes it’s not always easy to recognize the lies from the truth, the friends from the enemies. And maybe the hardest thing of all is being able to reconcile her head with her heart.
But it’s a fight for survival, and Maylin intends to win.
SHAMAN'S CURSE is the second book in the VAMPIRE'S BANE series. This is an ongoing story, and not all questions will be answered. You will need to read this series in order.

Perhaps not. When a new footman arrives, she takes another plaything.
Life in a grand Edwardian country house is stifling Lady Isabella Fortescue, and her bullying, cheating husband has ensured her marriage is dead and loveless. All the more reason for Isabella to seek pleasure elsewhere, which she does relentlessly. And no one satisfies her intense needs more than the Lord’s gorgeous, cocky valet, Edward.
Her Ladyship lets him turn the tables on the servant/master relationship and she reaps the stinging but deliciously pleasing benefits. And when Edward is unavailable, the new footman, Frederick, is only too happy to provide Isabella with another outlet for her constant craving. But it is Edward who holds the key to her happiness.
Their relationship deepens as they explore sensation and release through each other’s bodies.
However, Edward wants to break out of service and thinks he should start a new life in America. But can he and Isabella relinquish the intense passion and pleasure they find in each other?

Disguised in old clothes, he hopped freight trains crisscrossing six midwestern states. While undercover, Minehan associated on terms of social equality with several thousand transients, collecting five hundred life histories of the young migrants. The result was a vivid and intimate portrayal of a harrowing existence, one in which young people suffered some of the deadliest blows of the economic disaster.
Boy and Girl Tramps of America reveals the poignant experiences of American youth who were sent out on the road by grinding poverty, shattered family relationships, and financially strapped schools that locked their doors. For these young people, danger was a constant companion that could turn deadly in an instant. The book documents the hunger and hardships these youth faced, capturing an appalling spectacle and social problem in America’s history before any effort was made to meet the problem on a nationwide basis by the federal government.
Boy and Girl Tramps of America is a work unique in its ability to extend beyond statistical analyses to uncover the opinions, ideas, and attitudes of the boxcar boys and girls. Originally published in 1934, it remains highly relevant to the turbulent moments of the twenty-first century.

For years, he harassed tenants and threw fits about his unfair predicament--never understanding his entrapment in Becky’s house. A force surrounding the house keeps him a prisoner in her house. He is a ghost haunting her house but haunted by memories. He finds no answers until the feisty Allie Anders moves in and changes the old Victorian house into a bed and breakfast inn.
Allison Anders is guided by a dream and an undeniable urge to return to her small hometown, Pineridge, Colorado. The Connors homestead is the perfect setting in the Rocky Mountains for her new business despite facing the cowboy who broke her heart.
Cody Connors knows what he wants and he wants Allie back in his life. When she left town, she took his heart. Her engagement to rich boy, Robert Morrison, III, tore his love to pieces. Allie is home and he must find a way to win her trust and love that he once destroyed.
Scandal, murder, mystery, and haunting test the relationship of Cody and Allison as they fight another realm. | null | 10/10/2016 | {"name":"Marje Porter","num_books":8,"num_followers":"1"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":2,"reviews_percentage":100},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0}} | null |

Tolle ebahariliku olukorraga kaasneb palju ebamugavusi, sest tavapärasel moel „nähtavate inimeste maailmaga” tal enam kontakteeruda võimalik ei ole. Samas avaneb seni igas mõttes küllaltki keskmist elu elanud, neljakümnele lähenevale mehele, kes oma olukorra tõttu on nüüd sunnitud elu kõrvaltvaatajaks, ja kellel äkki on aega vaadelda, mõtiskleda ja varemolnut meenutada, ümbritsevast maailmast hoopis teistsugune pilt. Ta näeb elu seda poolt, millest ta on varem küll teadlik olnud, aga millele tal pole oma senises igapäevarutiinis olnud tarvidust ega tahtmist tähelepanu pöörata. Oma seisundit ära kasutades püüab peategelane mõne väärnähtuse vastu isegi välja astuda, aga peab varsti tunnistama, et see on tulutu. Kokkuvõttes tõuseb tegelase ette (igavene?) küsimus, kuivõrd oluline on tegelikkuse pahupoole nägemine ja sellest teadmine, kui seda mõjutada ei suudeta, ja kas sellisel juhul pole lihtsam ebamugavad asjad unustada ja elada edasi sellist elu, kus kõigest taolisest kergelt üle libisetakse. | null | 1/1/2012 | {"name":"Holger Kaints","num_books":9,"num_followers":"1"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":2,"reviews_percentage":25},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":4,"reviews_percentage":50},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":2,"reviews_percentage":25},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0}} | null |

Mussolini's capture and execution by Italian partisans, the suicide of Adolf Hitler, and the fall of the German capital signaled the end of the four-year war in the European Theater. In Five Days That Shocked the World , Nicholas Best thrills readers with the first-person accounts of those who lived through this dramatic time. In this valuable work of history, the author's special achievement is weaving together the reports of famous and soon-to-be-famous individuals who experienced the war up close. We follow a young Walter Cronkite as he parachutes into Holland with a Canadian troop; photographer Lee Miller capturing the evidence of Nazi atrocities; the future Pope Benedict returning home and hoping not to get caught and shot after deserting his infantry unit; Audrey Hepburn no longer having to fear conscription into a Wehrmacht brothel; and even an SS doctor's descriptions of a decadent sex orgy in Hitler's bunker. In skillfully synthesizing these personal narratives, Best creates a compelling chronicle of the five earth-shaking days when Fascism lost it death grip on Europe. With this vivid and fast-paced narrative, the author reaffirms his reputation as an expert on the final days of great wars. | ["History","Nonfiction","War","Historical","World War II","Military Fiction","Military History","European History","20th Century"] | 1/1/2012 | {"name":"Nicholas Best","num_books":44,"num_followers":"30"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":7,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":10,"reviews_percentage":1},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":114,"reviews_percentage":16},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":309,"reviews_percentage":43},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":267,"reviews_percentage":37}} | "$3.99" |

It considers what happens to biblical women in popular culture, in art and in film, and it foregrounds questions about how gender interests affect interpretation and about the roles and responsibilities of commentators and readers.

Exum's mastery of biblical scholarship, film criticism, feminist theory, and a vast literary and artistic repertoire is overwhelming ... a splendid work of analysis and critical thinking ... The book introduces the reader to an extraordinarily rich variety of critical experiences, which far transcends the limitations of conventional biblical scholarship.

We are talking here of things that really matter, things that have caused hurt to women and also to men, and things that could be made better ...

In other words, it places the Bible exactly where it should be, at the heart of our cultural experience from 'high' art to 'low' art ...
