Frank the Monster

Strandberg M: The Monster and the
Library

The Monster and the Library

It is seldom, if ever, that readers and writers see the different stages of a piece of writing in progress. In this unique volume, 16 of the US's most distinguished writers pull back the curtain on their creative and revision processes whilst drafting their works of creative nonfiction. Using side-by-side examples of first drafts and final versions of their writing, including original full-page reproductions from the writers' personal notebooks, an original, illuminating essay accompanies each draft that recounts the journey from inspiration to completion. Offering a generous insight into the creative process from the rough bold strokes to refined, clear, elegant prose, this behind-the-scenes look delves into the creative minds of working writers, including African American, Latino, Asian American, and indigenous writers from across the US. An invaluable resource for students and instructors looking to enliven the classroom or just offering practicing writers a peak into the processes of their peers, this book presents the false starts and missteps, the self-editing, tinkering, cutting, rearranging, and craft working writers make in the plight for perfectly polished prose. With nothing like it on the market, The Art of Revising Creative Nonfiction is an enlightening and unparalleled collection of modern-day creativity in action, a must have for aspiring writers and teachers of all levels.

The Art of Revising Creative Nonfiction

Viele Menschen fühlen sich zu mehr als einem Geschlecht hingezogen. Und trotzdem bekennt sich kaum jemand dazu. Julia Shaw macht Bisexualität in Geschichte, Kultur und Wissenschaft sichtbar. Anhand ihrer eigenen Identitätssuche erklärt sie, warum die Anziehung zu mehreren Geschlechtern nach wie vor gesellschaftlich im Schatten steht. Woher kommt unser Verständnis von Bisexualität? Warum ist es nach wie vor so schwer, sich zu outen? Shaw beantwortet die Frage, wie sexuelle Identität entsteht, neu. Und sie zeigt, warum vielfältige Liebe endlich mehr Raum erhalten muss.

Bisexualität

A working women's guide to a successful life You're trying to be all things to all people, juggling work overload with multiple caring responsibilities - but the one person you're not looking after is you. At work, you're banging your head against the glass ceiling or facing redundancy or simply feeling stuck in a rut and bored. Maybe your marriage is fraying at the edges or close friendships are dissolving. On top of it all come the brain fog and mood swings of menopause. It's overwhelming and you feel it can't go on - and it doesn't have to. Jenny Rogers has coached thousands of women through the complexities of midlife, empowering them to play to their strengths, let go of toxic relationships and habits, take responsibility for their own lives and stop worrying about what is beyond their control. Hers is a deceptively simple yet spectacularly effective no-nonsense approach that cuts through the buzzwords and passing trends to changes lives. Jenny has enabled the women she works with to find their unique voice and speak up, to gain that dream job or start their own business, to repair relationships and forge nurturing new ones ... to make their lives their own and show what they can really do. And now she will do that for you, too. For too long it's been all about other people - now it's all about you.

Public Sector Organizations

This book sets out to investigate how individuals within modern welfare states adopt distinct roles and identities when interacting with public organisations – as citizens who contribute to society, as consumers driven by personal preferences, and as customers demanding efficiency and responsiveness. It also considers the impact of these roles in shaping public sector institutions. &nbsp;Drawing on evidence from Sweden, the book examines the intricate and sometimes conflicting roles of citizens, consumers, and customers in the public sector, demonstrating how public institutions must simultaneously balance collective welfare, individual rights, and market logic in order to preserve democratic engagement and trust in public organisations.
 The book will appeal to scholars and students of public administration, public management and governance, as well as practitioners.

Religionswissenschaft

Religiöse Minderheiten und religiöse Mehrheiten lassen sich nicht durch Größe oder Merkmale kategorisieren, sondern werden durch Zuschreibungen bestimmt. Die Beiträger*innen fokussieren auf diese Zuschreibungen und die dadurch entstehenden Minderheiten-Mehrheiten-Konstellationen. Mit Blick auf plurale Gesellschaften der Gegenwart analysieren sie, was religiöse Minderheiten und Mehrheiten ausmacht, in welchem Verhältnis sie zueinander stehen und welche Folgen diskursive Bezugnahmen, Eigen- und Fremdbezeichnungen sowie Ein- und Ausschlüsse für die Selbstwahrnehmung, Konstituierung, Positionierung und Kommunikation religiöser Minderheiten haben.

Religiöse Minderheiten - religiöse Mehrheiten

This open access book examines why citizens in democratic societies support or oppose restrictive alcohol policies. Drawing on more than two decades of data from Sweden, it provides a comprehensive and theoretically informed analysis of public attitudes toward key alcohol policy instruments, including alcohol taxation, the retail monopoly, licensing regulations, advertising restrictions, farm sales, and other proposals affecting alcohol availability and control. It also analyses how alcohol-related public opinion is shaped by social background, self-interest, value orientations, perceptions of alcohol-related harm, beliefs about the effectiveness of policy instruments, ideological views about responsibility, and trust in institutions. The book addresses a central problem not only in alcohol policy but also in democratic theory and public opinion research more broadly: under what conditions do citizens support policies that may constrain their own choices, impose costs, or reduce convenience in order to protect others and reduce collective harm?
 
 In doing so, it speaks to broader questions about democratic legitimacy, regulation, risk governance, and public support for interventions in liberal democracies.

'A timely guide to creating teams where candor, learning, accountability, and human dignity can coexist.' - Amy C. EdmondsonTranslate psychological safety into everyday leadership habits that strengthen trust, sharpen decisions and deliver commercial advantage.We talk a lot about psychological safety, yet many leaders struggle to translate it into meaningful action. This book reveals how to do exactly that. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioural science, psychometric research and real-world case studies from global organisations, Dr Amanda Potter demonstrates how small, everyday habits shape the climate people experience at work, ultimately determining whether teams speak up, innovate, make better decisions and deliver exceptional performance.Psychological safety is more than a wellbeing initiative; it is a measurable condition for innovation, accountability and sustained performance. And at a time when change, AI disruption and competing demands are putting teams under more strain than ever, it's never been more important.Discover how to: <ul> <li>Build the trust, purpose and belonging that make candid conversations possible - because silence is your biggest business risk;</li> <li>Create inclusive, cognitively diverse teams where challenge improves decisions;</li> <li>Build the capability of human judgement for critical thinking and better decisions;</li> <li>Put eight evidence-based habits into practice for stronger teams and better business outcomes.</li> </ul>

BFI Screen Guides

In this follow up to their original 100 Cult Films volume, Ernest Mathijs and Xavier Mendik provide a guide to one hundred more incredible films, from the 1911 Italian silent Dante's Inferno to Ti West's horror trilogy X, Pearl (2022) and MaXXXine (2024). This richly illustrated guide addresses the work of filmmakers including Stanley Kubrick, Paul Verhoeven, Ana Lily Amirpour, Stephanie Rothman, Rob Reiner and Dario Argento, with movies hailing from Iran to Brazil, South Korea to Sweden, Japan to the USA, and from the high North to the Australian outback. 100 Cult Films: The Sequel presents an alchemy of genres including science-fiction, romance, horror, musical, vampire, comedy and action, and through the debates and controversies that surround them raises issues about identity, home, belonging, exoticism, censorship, and what it means to be truly 'weird'. By presenting 100 films that confirm and interrogate the notion of what makes a film a 'cult film', 100 Cult Films: The Sequel reignites the conversation about cult cinema while affirming its foundations in today's volatile and vibrant cultural climate.
