A fascinating history of the political theory of hegemony Few terms are so widely used in the literature of international relations and political science, with so little agreement about their exact meaning, as hegemony. In the first full historical study of its fortunes as a concept, Perry Anderson traces its emergence in Ancient Greece and its rediscovery during the upheavals of 1848–1849 in Germany. He then follows its checkered career in revolutionary Russia, fascist Italy, Cold War America, Gaullist France, Thatcher’s Britain, post-colonial India, feudal Japan, Maoist China, eventually arriving at the world of Merkel and May, Bush and Obama. The result is a surprising and fascinating expedition into global intellectual history, ending with reflections on the contemporary political landscape.

Bernard R. Buetens Ph.D., has over 30 years experience as a psychologist and through his work with patients he has discovered the destructive power of humiliation, which interferes with effective psychotherapy. With methods explained in this book, Dr. Buetens has taught both patients and other therapists how to recognize humiliation and deal with anger. Dr. Buetens considers humiliation insufficiently recognized by the mental health community. The title of this book, "The H Word" does not refer to Hell, but rather to humiliation. Anyone who experienced humiliation knows the horrific emotional experience which is not easily forgotten and remains a fear forever. This book is for anyone who wants to know more about anger and violence, and how to reduce the in order to feel joy and success. There is an old saying, "where there is smoke there's fire." This work will demonstrate where there is anger there is humiliation. Dr. Buetens knows how anger and violence represent the smoke, and humiliation is the fire. By knowing the source of the smoke or anger, we can then fight the fire, humiliation.

At an early age, Vanessa realized she was different. Being born into a Christian home and taught the Word of God did not change this. It did not shield her from Satan's attack. She'd heard it preached, at least a hundred times, that homosexuals were doomed to hell because of the choice they made to live in this lifestyle; yet she knew this could not be true. She never had a choice. Alienated by the church and crying out to God from the depths of her soul, she questioned why she was born this way. What God revealed from his Word changed her forever—showing the truth of who she was, why she'd been targeted by the devil to live as a homosexual, and setting her free to be who God created her to be. InThe H Word: Bringing the Truth of Homosexuality Out of the Closet, author Vanessa Headrick shares these extraordinary insights, shedding light on this controversial and confusing topic—one that will or has touched your life, regardless of your personal beliefs.The H Word: Bringing the Truth of Homosexuality Out of the Closetaddresses the seemingly endless stream of questions surrounding homosexuality, providing answers with the power to reunite families, mend broken hearts, and bridge the gap between the homosexual and the church.

“[Ballingrud's] evocative and strangely beautiful.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Nathan Ballingrud is one of my favorite contemporary authors and any time he’s got a new book out I run to the front of the line. His work is elegant and troublingly, wonderfully disturbing.”—Victor LaValle, award–winning author of The Changeling “Nathan Ballingrud's brilliant fiction brims with imagination, integrity (I do not use that term lightly), and an authentic world-weary dread that bores directly into your heart. With Wounds you'll gladly follow Nathan to Hell and (maybe) back.”—Paul Tremblay, award-winning author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts “Nathan Ballingrud is one of my favorite short fiction writers.” —Jeff VanderMeer, New York Times bestselling author of Annihilation and Borne “Stretch[es] the boundaries of the genre by employing these grand, horrific worlds. “The Butcher’s Table” reminds me of the first time I read Clive Barker’s “In the Hills, the Cities.” It’s horrifying, but there’s beauty.” —The New York Times “In only two slender collections, Nathan Ballingrud has emerged as one of the field’s most accomplished short story writers.” —The Washington Post “Ballingrud’s work isn’t like any other.”—Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing “One of the most disquieting and memorable short story collections to come out this year.”—The New York Review of Books “Wounds: Six Stories from the Border of Hell is without a doubt one of the best, most accomplished horror collections in recent memory.”—Hellnotes “Wounds will no doubt be remembered as one of the most disquieting and memorable short story collections to come out this year.”—New York Journal of Books “There’s enough nightmare fuel here to inspire weeks of insomnia — all told with an even hand with a penchant for precise storytelling. How else do you chart the furthest reaches of the uncanny?”—Tobias Carroll, Vol. 1 Brooklyn A gripping collection of six stories of terror—including the novella “The Visible Filth,” the basis for the upcoming major motion picture—by Shirley Jackson Award–winning author Nathan Ballingrud, hailed as a major new voice by Jeff VanderMeer, Paul Tremblay, and Carmen Maria Machado—“one of the most heavyweight horror authors out there” (The Verge). In his first collection, North American Lake Monsters, Nathan Ballingrud carved out a distinctly singular place in American fiction with his “piercing and merciless” (Toronto Globe and Mail) portrayals of the monsters that haunt our lives—both real and imagined: “What Nathan Ballingrud does in North American Lake Monsters is to reinvigorate the horror tradition” (Los Angeles Review of Books). Now, in Wounds, Ballingrud follows up with an even more confounding, strange, and utterly entrancing collection of six stories, including one new novella. From the eerie dread descending upon a New Orleans dive bartender after a cell phone is left behind in a rollicking bar fight in “The Visible Filth” to the search for the map of hell in “The Butcher’s Table,” Ballingrud’s beautifully crafted stories are riveting in their quietly terrifying depictions of the murky line between the known and the unknown.
