Book Description
The book identifies and critically analyses Hausa contemporary films known as Kannywood. The focus is on video films with particular emphasis on sources in oral literature. How traditional theatres are re-enacted and re-framed during filmmaking, and how far are traditional traits captured, changed, or enriched in video film are some issues the book negotiates on. The harmony between orature and technology, as generated by means of the transported film medium is expressed in the book. The new medium is integrated into the ongoing traditional and cultural surroundings, where native narrative traditions have been adopted into the global film medium, which is in alignment with contemporary medial culture. Yusuf Baba Gar is the lecturer for Hausa at the Department of African Studies, Humboldt University, Berlin.

Book Description
This volume brings together 46 critical essays of Grenier, noted movie critic and social commentator. He lambastes the leftward leanings that have become fashionable in politicized Hollywood and among elements of the artistic elite, and shows how the often false values of film culture--whose members include a select few writers, producers, and directors--have spread into American political culture, subtly corrupting the perceptions and thinking of ordinary citizens. He also includes behind-the-scenes juicy tidbits on celebrities and the making of their films. ISBN 089633-149-0: $24.95.

Book Description
"As I sat down to write this chapter about the use of life story methods for capturing cultural-historical aspects of LGBTQ+ identity development, I was transported back in time... It was a hot summer day in 2004. I had travelled back from the "big city" where I was attending university to visit my family. This was my first summer away from home. At that moment, my family and I sat in the parking lot of a diner, having just finished breakfast at a local greasy spoon-a ritualistic send off before I started my four-hour return drive. In those moments, our car felt unusually cramped. My dad was in the back seat with me, my mom and brother in the front. I didn't have much of an appetite that morning knowing that in mere minutes, I would come out to my family as gay. On our way out of the restaurant, walking to our separate cars, I somehow managed to muster up the courage to tell my family there was something important I wanted them to know. So, there I was, in the backseat of the car with a message for my family. Looking back on it, the message was more like an ultimatum. They could learn to love this new version of me, as I had done, or our routine "see you later" might be a "goodbye." This is the beginning of my story-both my coming out story and, in some ways, my life story. Thankfully, my family is still an important part of this story"--

Book Description
Imagine a sports-mad culture, deep into Eastern spirituality, political globalism, and religious syncretism. Where women, finding child-rearing an inconvenience, abandon or abort their babies. A society where divorce and remarriage touches everyone. Imagine a society overrun by sexual deviancy and perversion. Sound familiar? It would sound familiar to the apostle Paul. The culture to which he ministered so effectively resembled our planetary culture -- almost decadent point for point. But what should encourage Christians today is that Paul, understanding the times, knew how to reach the culture for Christ. And he can teach us the rules of engagement today. Capturing the Pagan Mind helps us look to an old rabbi, who is still relevant, wise, and powerful and who still tells pagans who their "unknown god" really is -- their Creator and Redeemer Book jacket.

Book Description
A Photographic Look at the Old West That Is Alive and Well in California It was a thrilling time, when wagon trains and stagecoaches raced to the California goldfields – on the trail where the dust and campfire smoke met. In the shadow of the towering Sierra Nevada, the real Wild West was born. And it still lives today, in the extraordinary people who pack mule-strings into the mountains, race over mountain passes on horseback while recreating the Pony Express, and drive cattle out of the high country each fall. It lives on beneath the massive wheels of the twenty-mule-team wagons and teams of draft horses pulling historic wagons over a mountain pass. Sit back and enjoy this fascinating journey as the Old West comes alive in a book filled with unique western images, inspiring stories from the trail, memorable cowboy poetry, and some western history.
