At an elite East Coast university, an ambitious young black student and her esteemed white professor meet to discuss a paper the college junior is writing about the American Revolution. They're both liberal. They're both women. They're both brilliant. But very quickly, discussions of grammar and Google turn to race and reputation, and before they know it, they're in dangerous territory neither of them had foreseen – and facing stunning implications that can't be undone.

In a terrifyingly short time, a male college instructor and his female student descend from a discussion of her grades into a modern reprise of the Inquisition. Innocuous remarks suddenly turn damning. Socratic dialogue gives way to heated assault. And the relationship between a somewhat fatuous teacher and his seemingly hapless pupil turns into a fiendishly accurate X ray of the mechanisms of power, censorship, and abuse.

Fiction. Poetry. NICETIES is a subversive text of lingual dissonance in which vocality precedes sense-making operations. Its phonics disrupt narrative through syntactical atonalities. "If you're weary of mild, obedient prose, try plunging into the pages of Elizabeth Mikesch's exuberant debut. This book is witchcraft: stories refreshingly loosely translated from the real by a mind that moves on its own."—Noy Holland "It will hardly do the trick to say that NICETIES is a breath of fresh air. In Elizabeth Mikesch's compressedly melodious prose, a reader inhales purifying drafts of something entirely unexpected in these literary dog days—not some novelty intoxicant concocted as a careerist stunt but some rarer ether releasing itself at long last into the world to dazzle, yes, but also to clarify so much of what we had never dreamed clarifiable about the ecstasy of our human mess."—Gary Lutz

The purpose of this book is to give ChristaEUR"centered believers an objective look at how a community of believers has the ability to not just survive in the roughaEUR"andaEUR"tumble times that a postaEUR"financialaEUR"collapse world will inevitably lapse into, but actually thrive. ChristaEUR"centered leadership is the key. Honoring God the Father and His Son Yeshua in all aspects is something that the author strove to hear God's leading on, from start to finish. Over the last twenty years, many books, articles, and movies have been written and filmed about the postapocalyptic world, both fiction and non fiction howaEUR"to, centering on what to do and how to do it. Most, if not nearly all, have focused on a few major topics, with perhaps another one or two side issues. In this book, the author has endeavored to cover as many facets as possible that will come into play as given to him by God's Spirit. Financial collapse, firearms, selfaEUR"defense, breakdown of law and order, cannibalism, barter, invasion by the UN, the setting up of a retreat, basic survival skills, and medical care by amateurs have all been covered in other works, and usually quite well. But, as they say on TV, wait, there's more...much, much more. Also woven into this work are torture, suicide, homosexuality and the subsequent deliverance from it, along with the very real probability of Islamic terrorism. Then we get to, for the most part, the forgotten wild cards: a command structure for the leadership, unparalleled cataclysmic geological upheaval, pandemic outbreak, the setting up of a city of refuge for God's people, and without question, the most neglected yet, far and away, most important deciding factor in all this: the last days' move of God. Mix all these factors together, and there we will find ourselves in uncharted waters.

In his most delightful foray into the wonders of Provençal life, Peter Mayle returns to France and puts behind him cholesterol worries, shopping by phone, California wines, and other concerns that plagued him after too much time away. In Encore Provence, Mayle gives us a glimpse into the secrets of the truffle trade, a parfumerie lesson on the delicacies of scent, an exploration of the genetic effects of 2,000 years of foie gras, and a small-town murder mystery that reads like the best fiction. Here, too, are Mayle's latest tips on where to find the best honey, cheese, or chambre d'hìte the region has to offer. Lyric, insightful, sparkling with detail, Encore Provence brings us a land where the smell of thyme in the fields or the glory of a leisurely lunch is no less than inspiring.

This book argues that today’s professoriate has become increasingly theatrical, largely as a result of neoliberal policies in higher education, but also in response to an anti-intellectual scrutiny that has become pervasive throughout the Western world. The Theatrical Professoriate: Contemporary Higher Education and Its Academic Dramas examines how the Western professoriate increasingly finds itself enacting command performances that utilize scripting, characterization, surrogation, and spectacle—the hallmarks of theatricality—toward neoliberal ends. Roxworthy explores how the theatrical nature of today’s professoriate and the resultant glut of performances about academia on stage and screen have contributed to a highly ambivalent public fascination with academia. She further documents the "theatrical turn" witnessed in American higher education, as academic institutions use performance to intervene in the diversity issues and disciplinary disparities fueled by neoliberalism. By analyzing academic dramas and their audience reception alongside theoretical approaches, the author reveals how contemporary academia drives the professoriate to perform in what seem like increasingly artificial ways. Ideal for practitioners and students of education, ethnic, and science studies, The Theatrical Professoriate deftly intervenes in Performance Studies’ still-unsettled debates over the differential impact of live versus mediated performances.
