Devlin Miski thought coming out on national TV would be the hardest part about being a gay football player. But it's when his press conference is over that the trouble really starts. The athletic tiger and his boyfriend Lee, a fox with a tongue as quick as his wit, still won't get many breaks in their fight for understanding. They'll need to deal with a stubborn reporter determined to get a story any way he can, furious parents, and hostile teammates--not to mention each other. All's fair in love and war--and this is both.

Extremely isolated communities offer 'laboratory conditions' for examining the processes of language change and dialect formation. This book presents findings of the first-ever ethnographic fieldwork on the most remote island in the world with a permanent population, Tristan da Cunha. It documents the historical formation of a unique local dialect and investigates the sociolinguistic mechanisms that underlie dialect contact and new-dialect formation. It also uncovers the linguistic consequences of post-insularity - language change processes as a result of increasing contacts with other communities and speakers. Researchers and students of language variation will find this book a unique resource.

Filmmakers have often encouraged us to regard people with physical disabilities in terms of pity, awe, humor, or fearas "Others" who somehow deserve to be isolated from the rest of society. In this first history of the portrayal of physical disability in the movies, Martin Norden examines hundreds of Hollywood movies (and notable international ones), finds their place within mainstream society, and uncovers the movie industry's practices for maintaining the status quokeeping people with disabilities dependent and "in their place." Norden offers a dazzling array of physically disabled characters who embody or break out of the stereotypes that have both influenced and been symptomatic of societys fluctuating relationship with its physically disabled minority. He shows us "sweet innocents" like Tiny Tim, "obsessive avengers" like Quasimodo, variations on the disabled veteran, and many others. He observes the arrival of a new set of stereotypes tied to the growth of science and technology in the 1970s and 1980s, and underscores movies like My Left Foot and The Waterdance that display a newfound sensitivity. Nordens in-depth knowledge of disability history makes for a particularly intelligent and sensitive approach to this long-overlooked issue in media studies.

A study of the gruesome game characters we love to beat—and what they tell us about ourselves. Since the early days of video games, monsters have played pivotal roles as dangers to be avoided, level bosses to be defeated, or targets to be destroyed for extra points. But why is the figure of the monster so important in gaming, and how have video games come to shape our culture’s conceptions of monstrosity? To answer these questions, Player vs. Monster explores the past half-century of monsters in games, from the dragons of early tabletop role-playing games and the pixelated aliens of Space Invaders to the malformed mutants of The Last of Us and the bizarre beasts of Bloodborne, and reveals the common threads among them. Covering examples from aliens to zombies, Jaroslav Švelch explores the art of monster design and traces its influences from mythology, visual arts, popular culture, and tabletop role-playing games. At the same time, he shows that video games follow the Cold War–era notion of clearly defined, calculable enemies, portraying monsters as figures that are irredeemably evil yet invariably vulnerable to defeat. He explains the appeal of such simplistic video game monsters, but also explores how the medium could evolve to present more nuanced depictions of monstrosity.

Table of Contents Introduction The Fear of Social Isolation Marriage as Last Option to Ward off Loneliness Try out that Smile Get out of Your Self-Imposed Cocoon of Isolation The Encouragement of Isolation Focus on a Solution to Your Problem The Internet Blogging Fever Physical and Mental Health –Your First Priority Learn to Socialize Develop Some Communication Skills Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction A family that plays together stays together… I was just asking a large number of friends why they went on having lots of children even when their financial situation was precarious, the stress of bringing up all those children was playing havoc with their minds, and they really were concerned about the physical, emotional, and mental commitment the responsibility of bringing up a child properly would have on them long-term. Was it a cultural thing or a traditional thing? Was this an instinct which came down the ages that the gene line had to continue, in times of strife and turmoil, that at least one child of that particular family, race, or clan managed to survive? All these are factors which have been affecting the lives of people all over the world, for millenniums, even though in many civilized countries, nobody bothers much about survival through gene lines, even though the subconscious wish that my line should linger on through my sons and grandsons is still very much a part of the male subconscious and psyche. In fact I was just laughing that once a person was dead and gone, he was not going to come back and see what was happening to the rest of his family, Après moi, le deluge or to say, once I am gone, who cares if the floods appear and catastrophe occurs. But then, I have a different way of thinking, which other people may not consider, and it is a good thing they do not, because if everybody began to think, all right, why should I bother about my descendants, once I have passed on, so I could not care less if I had children or not, mankind is going to be in great trouble. It has been exactly that sort of thinking, which has caused many administrations and governments in Europe to request their citizens to have at least one child. That is because for the last 30 years, the number of children being born in their countries has dwindled to a worrying bare minimum. The reason is that for some reason or the other, people have not begun worrying about what is going to happen to them, when they are going to grow old. They do not take their own mortality and old age, seriously, because after all, the state is going to take care of them. So why do they need to have children, were not going to take care of them, when they are old? Unfortunately, this is the feeling, which is prevailing in a large number of so-called developed societies, and eroding the tradition of the parents are not going to be left alone in their old age. But there is going to be a child who is going to take care of them out of the brood of kids, they bore and brought up. It is either through a sense of tradition or upbringing or a cultural duty.
