The most comprehensive resource available on creation myths from around the world-their narratives, themes, motifs, similarities, and differences-and what they reveal about their cultures of origin. ABC-CLIO's breakthrough reference work on creation beliefs from around the world returns in a richly updated and expanded new edition. From the Garden of Eden, to the female creators of Acoma Indians, to the rival creators of the Basonge tribe in the Congo, Creation Myths of the World: An Encyclopedia, Second Edition examines how different cultures explain the origins of their existence. Expanded into two volumes, the new edition of Creation Myths of the World begins with introductory essays on the five basic types of creation stories, analyzing their nature and significance. Following are over 200 creation myths, each introduced with a brief discussion of its culture of origin. At the core of the new edition is its enhanced focus on creation mythology as a global human phenomenon, with greatly expanded coverage of recurring motifs, comparative themes, the influence of geography, the social impact of myths, and more.

This first volume of Male Fantasies centers on the fantasies that preoccupied a group of men who played a crucial role in the rise of Nazism. These men were officers in the Freikorps--private, volunteer armies that roamed Germany, serving the cause of domestic repression in the aftermath of World War I. Klaus Theweleit draws upon the novels, letters, and autobiographies of these proto-fascists and their contemporaries, as well as cartoons, advertisements, engravings, and posters. He explores these sources, not to discover what their creators thought about fighting or the fatherland, but to seek out and reconstruct their images of women. He shows that the Freikorps male identity was shaped by the dread and revulsion that characterized their relations with women (real or imagined) and that this dread was, in turn, linked to the aggressive racism and anticommunism at the heart of most fascist movements. Theweleit's second volume, Male Bodies: Psychoanalyzing the White Terror, carries Male Fantasies from the female image to the self-image of manhood and its ritualized forms of mass behavior, culminating in warfare. It also is available from the University of Minnesota Press.

These proceedings of the international 2006 symposium ‘The Theory and Practice of Life Writing: Auto/biography, Memoir and Travel Writing in Post/modern Literature’ at Haliç University, Istanbul, include the majority of contributions to this event, some of them heavily revised for publication.

Fourth Wing meets Formula 1 in this high-action, slow burn sports romantasy as two rival riders reunite at the annual dragon racing Grand Prix. The Silverscale Grand Prix is the national championship of dragon racing - a high-speed, often deadly, elite sport with an unimaginably big cash prize. Asta and her dragon Carmine are unlikely competitors. No sponsors, no high-tech gear, no fans out in the stands. Not to mention that a female rider hasn't won the Prix for nearly sixty years. The odds are stacked against them - but Asta is determined to prove everyone wrong: the training school that kicked her out for fighting a classmate, her family who wished she'd never left the farm, and, most of all, her infuriatingly arrogant childhood-best-friend-turned-rival Felix, the poster-boy heir to the Seraphin racing dynasty and reigning tournament champion. Raw talent alone won't be enough to get Asta and Carmine through these races - and it soon becomes clear that the risks Asta has taken to get to Silverscale could have devastating consequences. Time to think fast, or die trying . . . Deadly games Friends-to-enemies-to-lovers Second chance romance Slow burn Found family

From the bestselling author of the Boston Bolts Hockey Series comes a friends-to-strangers-to-lovers hockey romance featuring the next generation of Langfields. There are only two things I've ever truly wanted in my life. To be a goalie in the NHL and JJ Hanson. In a twisted way, both dreams have come true. Rather than a spot on the roster though, I'm now the first female goalie coach in the NHL. JJ Hanson's coach, specifically. Not only is he one of my players-making him totally off limits-he's also a single dad and still technically married. Oh, and thanks to my father's meddling, he's now my roommate, along with his cousin and her three kids, my sister and her four-year-old twins, my cousin, and JJ''s daughter, who I unfortunately adore. Yup, I'm living with six kids under the age of five, and the only man I've ever loved. There was a time when JJ was my closest friend, and for one perfect moment, he was mine. Now we don't even talk. JJ is determined to change that, though, and when opportunity strikes and suddenly both of my dreams are within reach, I have to make a decision. Can I step out onto that ice as the first female goalie in the NHL and trust JJ with my heart? I've never been one to walk away from a challenge. Maybe the only way JJ and I can move forward is to go back to the start. Paper Rings is a friends-to-lovers, single-dad, second-chance hockey romance with dual POV and a dual timeline featuring a Brownstone like Mother Faker and many of your favorite characters from the Langfield Brothers' family. It is the first book in the New Romantics Series and a complete standalone.

To hear the Banshee's cry is considered to be an ill-omen as she is supposed to come for the purpose of forewarning death. She does this by melancholy wailing, appearing in the form of a young and beautiful woman, dressed in white - but she comes more frequently as a frightful old hag or else as a mere 'voice'. The origin of the Banshee is lost in the mist of antiquity. In some parts of the country she is known as the bean chaointe (keening woman) and in other places, particularly in Wexford, as the badhb which is described in Dineen's dictionary as a 'female fairy or phantom said to be attached to certain families, appearing as a scaldcrow or roystoncrow. The bird connection predominates in the old sagas - one landing on Cuchulain's shoulder as he lay dying, tied to the stone pillar. Tales of the Banshee is a fascinating and exciting collection of stories about the exploits of Banshees. Patrick F. Byrne is a fifth-generation Dubliner. He has been active in journalism since 1945. His other books include Irish Ghost Stories, The Second Book of Irish Ghost Stories, Witchcraft in Ireland, and The Bedside Book of Irish Ghost Stories.

Both Muslims and non-Muslims see women in most Muslim countries as suffering from social, economic, and political discrimination, treated by law and society as second-class citizens subject to male authority. This discrimination is attributed to Islam and Islamic law, and since the late 19th century there has been a mass of literature tackling this issue. Recently, exciting new feminist research has been challenging gender discrimination and male authority from within Islamic legal tradition: this book presents some important results from that research. The contributors all engage critically with two central juristic concepts; rooted in the Qur'an, they lie at the basis of this discrimination. One refers to a husband's authority over his wife, his financial responsibility toward her, and his superior status and rights. The other is male family members' right and duty of guardianship over female members (e.g., fathers over daughters when entering into marriage contracts) and the privileging of fathers over mothers in guardianship rights over their children. The contributors, brought together by the Musawah global movement for equality and justice in the Muslim family, include Omaima Abou-Bakr, Asma Lamrabet, Ayesha Chaudhry, Sa'diyya Shaikh, Lynn Welchman, Marwa Sharefeldin, Lena Larsen and Amina Wadud.
