Realist Vision explores the claim to represent the world "as it is". Peter Brooks takes a new look at the realist tradition and its intense interest in the visual. Discussing major English and French novels and paintings from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Brooks provides a lively and perceptive view of the realist project. Centering each chapter on a single novel or group of paintings, Brooks examines the "invention" of realism beginning with Balzac and Dickens, its apogee in the work of such as Flaubert, Eliot, and Zola, its continuing force in James and modernists such as Woolf. He considers also the painting of Courbet, Manet, Caillebotte, Tissot, and Lucian Freud, and such recent phenomena as "photorealism" and "reality TV".

In May of 1856, when Southern Congressman Preston S. Brooks caned Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner on the Senate floor, he shocked the nation and shattered the fragile truce that had existed between North and South. Part of the American Stories series, Benson's book introduces students to this key turning point in the coming of the War and as one of the most pivotal moments in American history. Because its story incorporates so many of the era's key issues like slavery and abolition, personal liberty laws and state rights, "Bleeding Kansas" and territorial expansion, ideals of gender and manhood, competing visions of labor and the economic order, and the revolutionary shift between the Whig-based "second party system" and its Republican-dominated third party successor, it provides an excellent window into the mind of a nation on the brink of conflict. These broad implications and the incident's inherent drama make this a natural topic for the American Stories series. The passionate language and sharp controversy of the collection's editorials and speech excerpts should appeal to a wide range of undergraduates.The narrative is complemented by a number of graphics, including images of the incident and maps showing the politics and intellectual geography of the era and how they were affected by the incident.
After Haiti's recent earthquake, various American commentators - from Pat Robertson to David Brooks - joined a long tradition of blaming Vodou for the country's woes. This book examines that vexed history, asking why, from 1835 to 1987, Haiti banned many popular ritual practices.

Wetenschap wordt nóg interessanter wanneer theorieën niet meer lijken te kloppen. Zelfs nu zijn er onderzoeksresultaten die de meest briljante wetenschappers niet kunnen verklaren, maar zeker niet kunnen negeren. In 13x onverklaarbaar behandelt Michael Brooks 13 vraagstukken die nu onverklaarbaar lijken, maar morgen wellicht voor een onverwachte door-braak in de wetenschap zorgen. Zo wijst alles er op dat we zesennegentig procent van het heelal missen, maar is dat ook echt zo? En waarom is het placebo-effect zo belangrijk in de medische wetenschap, terwijl geen enkele studie ooit heeft kunnen aantonen dat het inderdaad werkt?

Philosophical debates around individualization and the implications for intimacy, reflexivity and identity have occupied a central part of social and cultural theorizing in the West in the last decade. In fact, late modernity has become conspicuously engaged with issues of intimacy, reflexivity and identity. The author analyses the relevance of these debates in the context of contemporary Asia and combines an analysis of significant social theorists including Beck, Giddens, Bourdieu, McNay, Adkins, and Ong with an application of these debates to social, political and cultural contexts. Drawing on empirical research, case studies, global reports, media and academic literature, the book provides a relevant, wide-ranging and contemporary analysis of the debates on Asian culture and society. In the Foreword to the book Bryan Turner comments: 'Professor Brooks shows consequently that the intimate and emotional cultures that have been described by Anthony Giddens and Ulrich Beck with respect to the West have not arrived in Asia or at least that they have not become visible and permanent aspects of the social landscape.'
While many recent books have thoughtfully examined the plight of the working poor in America, none of the authors of these books is able to claim a working-class background, and there are associated methodological and ethical concerns raised when most of the explicatory writing on how poverty affects women and girls is done by educated, upper-class journalists. It was these concerns that prompted indie icon Michelle Teawhose memoir, The Chelsea Whistle, details her own working-class roots in gritty Chelsea, Massachusettsto collect these fierce, honest, tender essays written by writers who can't go home to the suburbs when their assignment is over. These wide-ranging essays cover everything from stealing and selling blood to make ends meet; to "jumping" class; how if time equals money, then being poor means waiting; surviving and returning to the ghetto; and how feminine identity is shaped by poverty. Contributors include Dorothy Allison, Diane Di Prima, Terri Griffith, Daisy Hernandez, Frances Varian, Eileen Myles, Shawna Kenney, Siobhan Brooks, Terry Ryan, and more. "

Naast zijn welbekende Shannara-boeken schreef Terry Brooks over het magische koninkrijk Landover, eigentijdse fantasy-avonturen die zich gedeeltelijk afspelen in onze huidige realiteit. Deze boeken zijn uitermate geschikt om de lezer mee te voeren over de grens naar zijn rijke verbeeldingswereld. Prinses van Landover gaat over het meisje Istaya dat wegloopt van huis en vlucht naar Landover. Haar vader, advocaat Ben Holiday, bevocht eerder draken maar houdt nu zijn hart vast.á
De Landover-boeken gaan over de Amerikaanse advocaat Ben Holiday, die op een dag voor een miljoen dollar een magisch koninkrijk koopt om het verlies van zijn vrouw en kind te verwerken. De avonturen zijn kleurrijk en licht van toon, vol bijzondere wendingen en verbazende personages. Ben Holiday staat misschien wel het dichtst bij Terry Brooks, die, voor hij een succesvol schrijver werd, zelf advocaat was.Landover is een magisch koninkrijk, met toverij en een elfenvolk, precies zoals de advertentie beloofde. Maar nadat hij het gekocht heeft, komt Ben Holiday er al snel achter dat er een paar details onvermeld zijn gelaten: het koninkrijk is een puinhoop. De baronnen weigeren een koning te erkennen en de boeren hebben alle hoop verloren. Een draak verwoest het platteland, terwijl een boze heks werkt aan een plan om alles te vernietigen.Bens enige volgelingen zijn de klunzige hofmagiër Questor Teeuw, de pratende hond Abernathy en de lieftallige Wilgje, die de gewoonte heeft wortel te schieten in het maanlicht en in een boom te veranderen.En alsof dat allemaal nog niet genoeg is, krijgt Ben te horen dat de IJzeren Mark, de verschrikkelijk heer der demonen, alle toekomstige koningen van Landover voor een duel op leven en dood uitdaagt. Bens taak lijkt onbegonnen werk: gelukkig is hij koppig?
