Before Botox

I Knew Them When...Twenty Years of Celebrity Interviews

By: Arlene Peck

Arlene Peck’s living room walls are filled with hundreds of pictures of famous people she has known over a period of almost 40 years, during which she interviewed hundreds of celebrities on her television talk show in Los Angeles and engaged with others as a journalist, an active participant in the “in crowd” scenes, a supporter of Jewish causes, and a frequent traveler to the Middle East and other locales. In Before Botox, Arlene shares her experiences with dozens of these celebrities, including TV and movie stars, singers, writers, politicians, and activists. Funny, heartwarming, and informative, this book tells the story of an intriguing woman who has seen a lot and who “knew them when,” providing a unique insight into the lives of the rich and famous, and even the infamous, as they parry her questions, laugh at her humor, and share with her their personal stories. A must read for any celebrity enthusiast and for those who want to see how famous people engage with an entertaining woman who is proud to be politically incorrect. Arlene Peck knows where all the bodies are buried. Unfortunately she’s responsible for most of them. But she’s a damn good writer. Ed Asner, actor

She exposes the truth about recruitment techniques the terrorists use to supply their ranks with those that would do us harm. This book must be read by all wanting to protect the home front and really be informed by someone who has been there, done that. Dr. Harvey W. Kushner, conservative commentator and best-selling author Encyclopedia of Terrorism Essential Readings on Political Terrorism The Future of Terrorism: Violence in the New Millennium "Arlene Peck just won't shut up; and thank God for that! Arlene speaks her mind on everything -- on culture, politics, certainly America, most certainly Israel -- and this is a voice that absolutely must be heard. She is eloquent and passionate and no one speaks the truth as fearlessly as she does. All of her writings enrich us, and I'm not just saying that because she's a knockout redhead" Jack Engelhard Author, Indecent Proposal PRISON CHEERLEADER is a must-read for anyone who wonders what really goes on behind bars. Arlene Peck, the nice Jewish girl who went wrong doing right, takes us on a roller-coaster ride of laughs and tears - and gives us chilling insight into the birth of the Nation of Islam in our nation's prisons, now in full bloom converting prisoners to terrorists. Carole Lieberman, M.D., Forensic Psychiatrist and Author of Coping with Terrorism Arlene Peck - she can write about anything from Hollywood to women's rights, to radical Islam. She is witty, edgy, sexy and a ball of fire. This one is a great read. Brigitte Gabriel Author, Because They Hate and They Must Be Stopped

El Mall

The Spatial and Class Politics of Shopping Malls in Latin America

By: Arlene Dávila

While becoming less relevant in the United States, shopping malls are booming throughout urban Latin America. But what does this mean on the ground? Are shopping malls a sign of the region’s “coming of age”? El Mall is the first book to answer these questions and explore how malls and consumption are shaping the conversation about class and social inequality in Latin America. Through original and insightful ethnography, Dávila shows that class in the neoliberal city is increasingly defined by the shopping habits of ordinary people. Moving from the global operations of the shopping mall industry to the experience of shopping in places like Bogotá, Colombia, El Mall is an indispensable book for scholars and students interested in consumerism and neoliberal politics in Latin America and the world.

Reluctant Witnesses

Survivors, Their Children, and the Rise of Holocaust Consciousness

By: Arlene Stein

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Reluctant Witnesses

Survivors, Their Children, and the Rise of Holocaust Consciousness

By: Arlene Stein

Americans now learn about the Holocaust in high school, watch films about it on television, and visit museums dedicated to preserving its memory. But for the first two decades following the end of World War II, discussion of the destruction of European Jewry was largely absent from American culture and the tragedy of the Holocaust was generally seen as irrelevant to non-Jewish Americans. Today, the Holocaust is widely recognized as a universal moral touchstone. In Reluctant Witnesses, sociologist Arlene Stein--herself the daughter of a Holocaust survivor--mixes memoir, history, and sociological analysis to tell the story of the rise of Holocaust consciousness in the United States from the perspective of survivors and their descendants. If survivors tended to see Holocaust storytelling as mainly a private affair, their children--who reached adulthood during the heyday of identity politics--reclaimed their hidden family histories and transformed them into public stories. Reluctant Witnesses documents how a group of people who had previously been unrecognized and misunderstood managed to find its voice. It tells this story in relation to the changing status of trauma and victimhood in American culture. At a time when a sense of Holocaust fatigue seems to be setting in and when the remaining survivors are at the end of their lives, it affirms that confronting traumatic memories and catastrophic histories can help us make our world mean something beyond ourselves.

It’s a tail-wagging good time for these ten animal-loving couples as they find their happily ever afters with their best four-legged friends’ blessings. Lessons in Magic: While cleaning up cobwebs at her late Aunt Edna’s cottage, Phoebe unexpectedly discovers her latent family talent and summons a demon…who arrives disguised as an irresistible puppy. Noah Rossi, wizard in training, comes to the rescue, but can he save her from accidentally destroying the universe? Text Me: Abigail Jeffries gets a text from a stranger only to discover the sender, Carter Coben, isn’t so strange after all. Soon she’s caught up in a game of assumed identities with the same gorgeous guy she got fired from his job. But Carter has no idea that “She Hearts Dogs” is the girl who blew his world apart. All About Charming Alice: Quirky Alice Treemont spends her time rescuing unwanted dogs and protecting snakes. When refined author Jace Constant comes to town to research his new book, opposites attract, and soon the whole town is determined to make a love match between the country girl and the city slicker. Wildflower Redemption: Luz Wilkinson returns to tiny Rose Creek, Texas, to lick her wounds and toughen her resolve against love’s sting. She wants nothing more than to spend her days caring for discarded animals. But will Aaron Estes, her riding student’s widower dad, spur her to try again? Atonement: A former marine sniper, Deputy Nicolette Rivers hides her PTSD from everyone but detective Con O’Hanlon, who, along with his military dog Cadno, is more than willing to help. But is he too late to prevent Nic’s dark, downward spiral? Or is Con the one man stronger than her demons? Fated Hearts: Sheriff Carter McAlister and his dog, Dublin, have their lives upended when he offers mysterious newcomer Henley Elliott a job as his assistant. Breaking through her carefully built shell proves to be a near-impossible task, and now a dangerous new presence in the Cove seems to be targeting Henley. Sweet Texas Kiss: Veterinarian Gavin Cooper can’t believe country superstar (and the woman who broke his heart) Macy Young will inherit his family home. Luckily, Macy can’t sell the house for one year—plenty of time for him to get it back. Can they find a way to bury their animosity and rediscover their first love in the process? Unstoppable: When veterinarian Lara Monroe’s fellow cat shifter—and secret crush—Booker Chase needs help, she’s willing to use her special healing touch. Booker’s broken from the loss of his wife and burdened with PTSD from his service in Afghanistan, but Lara is showing him flashes of what might be if they can shut down the Nexus Group forever. Bloom: L.A.’s charity fundraising maven Ava Bennett heads out to the middle of nowhere to check on a friend for her rock star client, but never expects to tangle with infamous music producer Nate Robinson, nor endanger his dog’s health. Can a career woman find love with a virtual hermit? What a Texas Girl Dreams: They are opposites in so many ways, but the more veterinarian Trickett Samuels gets to know footloose and fancy free Monica Witte, the more he wonders if he can convince this Texas girl that having roots will only help her soar higher.

All About Charming Alice

Alice Treemont has no intention of falling in love. Living in Blake’s Folly, a semi-ghost town, she cooks vegetarian meals, rescues unwanted dogs, and protects the most unloved creatures on earth: snakes. What man would share those interests? Jace Constant is in Nevada, doing research for his new book, but he won’t be staying. He’s disgusted by desert dust on his fine Italian shoes and dog hair on his cashmere sweaters. As for snakes, he doesn’t just despise them: they terrify him. So why does the air sizzle each time Alice and Jace meet? A romance would entail far too many compromises.

Hollywood Kisses

6 Reel-Life Romances

By: Shelley K Wall,Evan Purcell,Juliet McCarthy,Stephanie Cage,J. Arlene Culiner,Anne Bourne

A value-priced romance collection filled with nostalgic appeal for fans of beloved romantic comedy movies ranging from You’ve Got Mail to Dirty Dancing. Did you swoon when Tom Cruise passionately serenaded his flight instructor with a “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling”? Did your heart swell when Patrick Swayze growled “Nobody puts Baby in the corner”? Then grab a box of popcorn and settle in for these bigger-than-life romances sure to remind you of those fan favorite ’80s and ’90s blockbusters. Blue Moon: Just like Tom Hanks in Splash, Gabriel Rayner rescues a beautiful, drowning mermaid, but this beauty is searching for a champion to fight an evil warlord and save her people, a la Clash of the Titans. But if they fall in love, Gabe will be enslaved to the Merfolk for eternity. In a clash of culture shock and heat, Gabriel and Ephyra battle those odds, but will they have to sacrifice their love to save her life? Text Me: Abigail Jeffries gets a random text from a stranger only to discover the sender, Carter Coben, isn’t so strange after all. In a madcap, modern-day version of You’ve Got Mail, she’s caught up in a game of assumed identities with the same gorgeous guy she got fired from his job. Will they ever manage to sort out their mixed signals, mistaken identities, and misunderstandings to find real love? Waking Up to Love: Fans of While You Were Sleeping will love this debut tale! When Scott McInney’s mom gets a slight case of amnesia, he convinces Ramona, the identical twin sister of his runaway wife, to step into her heels. Ramona reluctantly agrees to help out, but when the pretending gets too real, will Scott figure out that he might have married the wrong twin? Love Above All: The last thing pediatrician Susan Ryan wants is to get involved with arrogant test pilot Major Martin Bennett. Forewarned about fighter pilots in general and Martin in particular, she nevertheless finds herself increasingly attracted to the man, Top Gun style. But a broken engagement has left her cautious and mistrustful of men—how can she avoid becoming just another statistic in the amorous pilot’s logbook? Perfect Partners: London’s latest hit dance competition television show throws Lisa Darby and Redmond Carrington into each other’s arms. The problem? They’re former flames who aren’t looking for a repeat performance, but a little Dirty Dancing is inevitable when old feelings come flooding back. Can they stay in step with their goals and ahead of their past? The Turkish Affair: Anne Pierson was a top-notch Washington journalist until scandal sent her hiding out in backwoods Turkey. She’s working as a translator near the ancient Hittite site of Karakuyu, determined to keep her past a secret…until American archaeologist Renaud Townsend arrives, searching for the culprit behind stolen artifacts. A Raiders of the Lost Ark-style search could lead to a second chance at love, if they are bold enough to meet the challenge. Sensuality Level: Sensual

Risking their bruised hearts for a second chance at love is a dangerous prospect for these widows and widowers, but risk definitely has its rewards… The Election Connection: War widow Lily Ashton’s heart is closed to love, so she’s the perfect choice to play fiancée to help secure a re-election for her pal, Congressman Ford Richardson. But as they work together, their not-quite engagement starts to feel much more real than either is ready to admit.

Her Faux Fiancé: Hotshot lawyer Erik Sigurdson breezes into town determined to survive a two-week family reunion. He makes his ex, widowed combat photographer Analise Thordarson, an irresistible offer: pretend to be his fiancée and he’ll pay off her grandfather’s debts.

Drawn to Jonah: New York-trained artist Quinn Baker is back home in Scallop Shores to reconnect with her family and figure out what to do with her life. Then handyman Jonah Goodwin asks an intriguing favor: teach him to read.

Yet something about Quinn inspires trust—but can she show him that he, too, is deserving of love? Wildflower Redemption: Luz Wilkinson returns to tiny Rose Creek, Texas, to lick her wounds and toughen her resolve against love’s sting.

In Plain Sight: Widow Misty Starr has fled her past to settle in Pine Falls, New York, where she feels safe enough to sing in an amateur theater revival of Jesus Christ Superstar. Then dashing Nick Anthony joins the cast and stirs up feelings she thought long dead. The doctors say there’s nothing wrong with his vision, yet the former concert pianist and secret CIA courier has been blind since the accident that killed his wife. As Misty and Nick’s attraction grows, so, too, does a series of suspicious events. Nick holds the key to protect them, but only if they both drop their secrets to see the truth.

Fear of Diversity

The Birth of Political Science in Ancient Greek Thought

By: Arlene W. Saxonhouse

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Fear of Diversity

The Birth of Political Science in Ancient Greek Thought

By: Arlene W. Saxonhouse

This wide-ranging and provocative book locates the origin of political science in the everyday world of ancient Greek life, thought, and culture. Arlene Saxonhouse contends that the Greeks, confronted by the puzzling diversity of the physical world, sought an unseen and unifying force that would constrain and explain it. This drive toward unity did more than place the mind over the senses: it led the Greeks to play down the very real differences - in particular the female, the family, and sexuality - in both their political and personal lives. While the dramatists and Plato captured the tragic consequences of trying to do so, it was not until Aristotle and his Politics did the Greek world - and its heirs - have a true science of politics, one capable of embracing diversity and accommodating conflict. Much of the book's force derives from Saxonhouse's masterful interweaving of Greek philosophy and drama, her juxtaposition of the thought of the pre-Socratics, Plato, and other philosophers to the cultural life revealed by such dramatists as Aristophanes and Aeschylus. Her approach opens up fresh understandings of such issues as the Greeks' fear of the feminine and their attempts to ignore the demands that gender, reproduction, and the family inevitably make on the individual and the family. The Fear of Diversity represents an important contribution to political philosophy, classics, and gender studies.
