Book excerpt: "New Jews'?" is the first comprehensive study of American Jewish identity in Hollywood movies of the new millennium. Despite the argument that we live in a "post-racial" society with supposedly "new" Jewish characters emerging on the big screen, this book details how traditional racial stereotypes of American Jews persist in popular films from the first decade of this century. In clear and readable prose, the book offers an innovative and penetrating look at dozens of American Jewish "meddling matriarchs," "neurotic nebbishes," "pampered princesses," and "scheming scumbags" from 21st century film, whether Hollywood blockbusters like Meet the Fockers and Sex and the City or indie favorites like Garden State and Kissing Jessica Stein. Throughout the book, famous American Jewish characters played by the likes of Jim Carrey, Tom Cruise, Anne Hathaway, Kate Hudson, Scarlett Johansson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Adam Sandler, and Ben Stiller are discussed, with the ultimate conclusion that movies today are marked less by the emergence of "new Jews" than by the continued - but dynamic and transformed -- presence of the same old stereotypes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the eye-opening investigation into the damaging effects of the ultra-competitive culture of youth sports in his previous book, Until It Hurts, Mark Hyman's new book looks at the business of youth sports, how it has changed, and how it is affecting young Americans. Examining the youth sports economy from many sides--the major corporations, small entrepreneurs, coaches, parents, and, of course, kids--Hyman probes the reasons for rapid changes in what gets bought and sold in this lucrative marketplace. Just participating in youth sports can be expensive. Among the costs are league fees, equipment, and perhaps private lessons with a professional coach. With nearly 50 million kids playing organized sports each year, it is easy to see how profitable this market can be. Hyman takes us to tournaments sponsored by Nike, Gatorade, and other big businesses, and he talks to parents who sacrifice their vacations and savings to get their (sometimes reluctant) junior stars to these far-off, expensive venues for a chance to shine. He introduces us to videos purporting to teach six-month-old babies to kick a ball, to professional athletes who will "coach" an eight-year-old for a hefty fee, to a town that has literally staked its future on preteen sports. With its extensive interviews and original reporting, The Most Expensive Game in Town explains the causes and effects of the commercialization of youth sports, changes that the author argues are distorting and diminishing family life. He closes with strong examples of individuals and communities bucking this destructive trend.

Book excerpt: Clubland UK is a story of violent men and the worlds they inhabit. At the height of the hedonistic ’90s rave era, Steven McLaughlin policed some of Blackpool’s busiest seafront clubs on chaotic nights, as the virulent dance and drug craze exploded onto the scene. From the front line, he witnessed the dark underbelly of clubland culture and the predatory menace lurking beneath the smiley-face T-shirts, pilled-up clubbers and frantically waving arms. He saw people revel in it; he saw people excel in it; he saw people profit in it; and he saw people suffer in it. Because sometimes being ‘a face’ in clubland demands the highest price of all. From small-town gyms to big-time steroid dealers, from martial-arts myths to back-alley fights, door wars and gang grudges in Britain's gaudiest seaside town, Clubland UK is a story that takes the reader into a twilight world where testosterone, brotherhood, ego and a warrior mentality all collide in a bruising mess. This book is a must-read trip into the dark side of the dance decade, a roller-coaster ride of pills and blood-spilling thrills, where agony and ecstasy co-exist in a blurred neon blaze.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores strength sports as a site of political contestation and a platform for insurgent gender practices. It contributes to our understanding of key themes in the study of sport, such as feminism, power, the body and identity. Drawing together interdisciplinary work spanning political science, sociology, gender studies, and biological and cultural anthropology, the book argues that in the face of ongoing embodied precarity, strength sports have become a complex form of both resistance to, and reproduction of, patriarchy. This argument also challenges traditional understandings and definitions of “strength.” Covering recreational-level participation and elite athletics, across experiential/individual, local, national, transnational, and global scales, the book explores diverse topics such as the pregnant strength athlete, the status of trans women in strength sports, and the gendered dimensions of online fitness communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. In so doing, it traces power dynamics and the interplay among multiple oppressions. Showcasing important empirical and activist research, this book is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in women’s sport, women’s studies, gender studies, the sociology of sport, strength and conditioning, feminist politics, or cultural studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kyai Haji Abdullah Gymnastiar, known affectionately by Indonesians as "Aa Gym" (elder brother Gym), rose to fame via nationally televised sermons, best-selling books, and corporate training seminars. In Rebranding Islam James B. Hoesterey draws on two years' study of this charismatic leader and his message of Sufi ideas blended with Western pop psychology and management theory to examine new trends in the religious and economic desires of an aspiring middle class, the political predicaments bridging self and state, and the broader themes of religious authority, economic globalization, and the end(s) of political Islam. At Gymnastiar's Islamic school, television studios, and MQ Training complex, Hoesterey observed this charismatic preacher developing a training regimen called Manajemen Qolbu into Indonesia's leading self-help program via nationally televised sermons, best-selling books, and corporate training seminars. Hoesterey's analysis explains how Gymnastiar articulated and mobilized Islamic idioms of ethics and affect as a way to offer self-help solutions for Indonesia's moral, economic, and political problems. Hoesterey then shows how, after Aa Gym's fall, the former celebrity guru was eclipsed by other television preachers in what is the ever-changing mosaic of Islam in Indonesia. Although Rebranding Islam tells the story of one man, it is also an anthropology of Islamic psychology.

Book excerpt: Mantra Gym is a comprehensive sex education book for adults. It provides a step by step guide to male masterbation techniques (gym, therapy, massage, exercising manhood), providing a best self-care and sex drive exercise for male enhancement and a comprehensive maintenance program for the reproductive system as a regular body work out during masterbation. Mantra Gym is also a sex tips book about orgasms, multiple orgasms, ejaculation, multiple ejaculations, how to stop premature ejaculation, how to grow penis size the natural way and how to find the G-spots. It also educates men to experience Prostate Massage that leads to full body orgasm. The book goes on to provide additional sexual knowledge from author Maya Wang with her unique experience and discoveries by revealing Lingam Massage and Prostate Massage… knowledge gathered from more than ten thousand male clients from all over the world over twelve years. These sexual tips are very practical and provide a unique addition to what is commonly taught as sex education in schools and other media. In Part One - Theory of Sensuality (with 17 custom drawn illustrations), Maya Wang exposes her greatest discoveries about: · Males and females sharing common G-spots locations. There are 5 G-spots in women and 4 G-spots in men. Wang has named these as “Y-zone g-spots”; · Male and female orgasms originate from the same three sources. Maya Wang has named these “The Three Levels of Orgasm (Ejaculation)”; · The best method to prevent premature ejaculation is… use “Mantra Delaying Cords (MDC)” to control (delay) ejaculation in order to achieve long lasting intercourse and Multiple-orgasms. (This technique brings men to control their ejaculation); · Achieving Multiple-ejaculations by stimulating the prostate and “Y-zone G-spots”. (This brings men sexual state from a new horizon to a “Full Body Orgasm” experience); · A new intercourse position called “Maya Bliss”. From this position both male and female are able to stimulate each other’s G-spots at the same time (while all The Three Levels are involved for the highest sexual sensations), immersing the two in one; · “Why some men ejaculate too fast?” Wang’s answers that are collected from the stories of thousands of males who experienced failure; · Why some men find it difficult to ‘finish’? Occasionally some men have difficulty sustaining an erection and ejaculating. Wang gives the reasons that they fail most of the time and how to overcome the problem; · "How does my size compare?” Every man cares about the size of their penis. Wang has the answers for men with smaller than normal genitalia. There are solutions for these individuals to boost their sexual confidence; · Hot sexual topics like, Decreasing Libido, Erectile Dysfunction, Circumcision, Vasectomy and Personal Hygiene... are all covered in the book. In Part Two - iGym, real models can be seen exercising their genitals and prostates in 10 courses. They demonstrate “iGym” with the skills that are basic from Wang’s Manhood Massage lessons. These professional skills are illustrated with 48 photographs for male reproductive systems, demonstrating how to exercise every inch of the manhood region and prostate. Lessons include: stimulating and awakening the inactive parts of the manhood, making the blood flow extremely smooth so that sufficient blood is gathered together for the erection. The technique enhances sexual ability from arousal to Prostate-ejaculation that leads to full body orgasm. The “iGym” exercises assist with: · Engorged and long lasting erections, to prevent Erection Dysfunction; · Exercises to grow penis size naturally; · Control ejaculation, exactly knowing how to stop ejaculation in order to achieve multiple-orgasms and prevent Premature Ejaculation; · Stimulating the penis, Y-zone G-spots and prostate to reach ejaculation on The Third Level for the full body orgasm experience; · Always achieving the final ejaculation on the Second or Third Level that enriches sexual enjoyment over the First Level than males normally achieve; this ejaculation creates a high variety orgasmic feeling that can be achieved from each ejaculation; · Naturally increased sperm count, quality, production and motility for improving male fertility; These exercises give the reproductive system proper care. This can be compared to guys working out in a gym to build a healthy and sexy body; without missing any single part of the body. This completes that missing piece to a complete, full body work out. Wang refers to males with the “iGym” skills as iGym Guys. There has never been a book like Mantra Gym!
