The Sex Doll
Author: Anthony Ferguson
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786456620
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
This scholarly study of the centuries-long history of fornicatory dolls examines the enduring obsession with creating an idealized, silent female sexual object and the manifestations of this desire through the ages in mythology, literature, art, philosophy and science. This particular sexual impulse has been expressed in a great variety of forms such as statues, mannequins, sex dolls, and gynoids (robots). In particular this study focuses on the evolution of the sex doll through its original incarnation as a sack cloth effigy, through the marketing of inflatable dolls, to the current elaborate cyber-technology figures, in an attempt to discover the hidden drives and desires which fuel this ongoing fantasy of creating a perfect, powerless, silent partner.

Pages : 230
Book Description
Wade and Royce are two very different men with a similar way of dealing with their naughty women: a good switch and a steady hand. Liz will do anything to get away from her evil guardian, even disguise herself as a boy and head west. When Caroline, a stranger on the train next to her, sees through her disguise and begs her to take her place as a mail-order bride, Liz doesn't hesitate long before saying yes. It had to be easier than working on a ranch, and as a married woman with a new name, she'll be out of her evil guardian's clutches forever. Wade Malone has been looking forward to his new bride for months, but when "Caroline" finally arrives, things don't exactly add up. For one, she was supposed to be twenty-four years old, and the woman who came off the train doesn't look a day over sixteen. He has a strong aversion to liars, particularly in a wife. But he's also a man who keeps his promises and whoever the woman is at his side, he's made a commitment to have and to hold. That doesn't mean he won’t blister her fanny if it will keep her safe. Even with his firm hand, Liz starts to fall for the no-nonsense rancher and his children. How will she ever keep him from finding out the complete truth about the switch? And if he does find out, will she have to leave the ranch she's come to love? Caroline can't follow through with the mail order marriage she had agreed to. Anxious to get home, she has more reason to hurry when she receives a wire relaying a family emergency. Traveling with the Union Pacific across the mid-west is a long, hot trip and Caroline's temper flares at the man who takes responsibility for the railroad’s many disappointments. Her temper isn't the only thing flaring, her bottom also feels the heat when Royce Ashby had had enough of her bad humor. A man's patience can only take him so far and it is quite obvious to him that Caroline is in need of a keeper. Two old favorites, rewritten as one, with a special, bonus chapter. Publisher's Note: This sweet, action-packed historical romance contains a theme of power exchange.

In the blink of an eye, his whole life changed. Now he’s back in search of answers. But will the truth destroy him? When seventeen-year-old Christian Bekker killed a poacher, he claimed it was self-defense. But the judge disagreed. He gave Christian a choice: go to prison or leave his home in South Africa and never return. Following his father’s suicide, conservation director Dr. Christian Bekker uncovers a plea from the grave to find out what really happened on that fateful day more than twenty years ago. Suddenly, he’s on a plane headed for Johannesburg, leaving behind his life in London in search of answers. Were his father’s suspicions correct or the result of twenty years spent dreaming about what might have been? All thoughts of staying under the radar disappear as his past plunges him into a murky and profitable world where the police and government officials conspire with criminals to exploit what remains of South Africa’s wildlife. Soon he finds himself in the criminals’ sights… Blood on the Veld is the first book in the Christian Bekker Wildlife Crime Thriller series, featuring compelling characters, surprising plot twists and a man searching for the truth. If you like an action-packed adventure that delves into the depths of corruption, power and greed, then you’ll love the first installment in award-winning author S. A. McLain’s page-turning series.
