It's time to shed the beauty myth and find a new freedom.In this powerful and precise book, Saskia Alais examines how we originated harmful beauty ideals and the many ways in which we continue to perpetuate them. Unpicking decades of harmful expectation, confused politics and false empowerment, BOMBSHELL throws a long overdue challenge at the media and beauty industry, exposing the sinister facts that see Western beauty standards affect every aspect of women's lives - from employment and class relations to dating and sexual violence.Featuring the voices of women from all corners of society and interviews with high-profile cultural figures, BOMBSHELL dissects popular contemporary conversation around women and their bodies, ultimately showing how we can detonate the system that does us damage.

"Love is two minutes and fifty-two seconds of squelching noises" (Johnny Rotten, Rolling Stone)
 
 
The theory is that sex sells. And sex sells music.
 
The connections between music and sexuality are long-standing, 'rock'n'roll' itself being a slang term for sex, and there are many ways in which artists have explored sex and love through the medium of sound. Some of the records discussed in this book are experiments in expressing sexual desire through musical forms, mixing musical and sexual sounds. Others use sex purely as a marketing device or as 'whimsical entertainment' (sexualised images on LP covers, for example). Other records examine the politics of sexuality and/or offer a subversive take on the relationship between popular music and eroticism.
 
As an accessible form of entertainment, the LP was part of the 'democratization' of sexuality and erotica, something that was previously only available to the upper classes collecting erotic and pornographic materials on their many travels around the globe. Recorded music extended the reach of sexual content from literature, with books such as An ABZ of Love by Inge and Sten Hegeler (1963) or Alex Comfort's The Joy of Sex (1972), into the audio-visual realm.
 
The 'stirrings of the soul', the animation of the spiritual and the emotional, is what 'heavy conscious creation' is about and the sexual aspect of this is significant and profound.
 
Canadian electroacoustic composer Robert Normandeau once claimed that 'music, unlike other contemporary art forms, has hardly dealt with eroticism as a genre'. This book tries to fill in the gaps that this statement implies.
 
And the "two minutes and fifty-two seconds of squelching noises" that Johnny Rotten spoke about are here, sometimes literally, in musical form.

Gathering of the Tribe

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment group and a control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

Claudine's House

A writing professor asks her students to share a childhood memory. They are stranded: all they can recall are family videos, photos resurfaced by an algorithm--moments already framed before they became memories at all.For the last one hundred years, technology has shaped not only how we communicate but how we experience time itself. But today the amassing of big data, the speed of problem solving, and the ubiquity of smartphones and AI threaten to upend our relationship to space and time. The past returns to us only in curated feeds and automatic reminders: an unceasing, untethered stream of content. Might we, in retaking control of our narrative threads, regain agency over our hours, our days, and the stories of our lives?Claire Messud's urgent manifesto argues that we must recapture our futures from the digital forces that consume us, and reclaim what makes us most human.
