Queer Soul and Queer Theology

Ethics and Redemption in Real Life

By: Laurel C. Schneider,Thelathia Nikki Young

This book takes up the question of Christian queer theology and ethics through the contested lens of "redemption." Starting from the root verb "to deem," the authors argue that queer lives and struggles can illuminate and re-value the richness of embodied experience that is implied in Christian incarnational theology and ethics. Offering a set of virtues gleaned from contemporary lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, and asexual (LGBTIQA) lives and communities, this book introduces a new framework of ethical reasoning. Battered and wrongly condemned by life-denying theologies of redemption and dessicating ethics of virtue, this book asserts that the resilience, creativity, and epistemology manifesting in queer lives and communities are essential to a more generous and liberative Christian theology. In this book, queer "virtues" not only reveal and re-value queer soul but expose covert viciousness in the traditional (i.e., inherently colonial and racist, and thus ungodly) "family values" of dominant Christian ethics and theology. It argues that such re-imagining has redemptive potential for Christian life writ large, including the redemption of God. This book will be a key resource for scholars of queer theology and ethics as well as queer theory, gender and race studies, religious studies, and theology more generally.

Romantic Literature and the Colonised World

Lessons from Indigenous Translations

By: Nikki Hessell

This book considers indigenous-language translations of Romantic texts in the British colonies. It argues that these translations uncover a latent discourse around colonisation in the original English texts. Focusing on poems by William Wordsworth, John Keats, Felicia Hemans, and Robert Burns, and on Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe, it provides the first scholarly insight into the reception of major Romantic authors in indigenous languages, and makes a major contribution to the study of global Romanticism and its colonial heritage. The book demonstrates the ways in which colonial controversies around prayer, song, hospitality, naming, mapping, architecture, and medicine are drawn out by translators to make connections between Romantic literature, its preoccupations, and debates in the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century colonial worlds.

Literary Authors, Parliamentary Reporters

Johnson, Coleridge, Hazlitt, Dickens

By: Nikki Hessell

Samuel Johnson, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Hazlitt and Charles Dickens all worked as parliamentary reporters, but their experiences in the press gallery have not received much scrutiny. Nikki Hessell's study is the first work to consider all four of these canonical writers as gallery reporters, providing a detailed picture of this intriguing episode in their careers. Hessell challenges preconceived notions about the role that emergent literary genius played in their success as reporters, arguing instead that they were consummate gallery professionals who adapted themselves to the journalistic standards of their day. That professional background fed in to their creative work in unexpected ways. By drawing on a wealth of evidence in letters, diaries and the press, this study provides fresh insights into the ways in which four great writers learnt the craft of journalism and brought those lessons to bear on their career as literary authors.

Feminism and Men

By: Nikki van der Gaag

Feminism has changed the world; it is radically reshaping women's lives. But what about men? They still hold most of the power in the economy, in government, in religions, in the media and often in the family too. At the same time, many men are questioning traditional views about what it means to be a man. Others resent the gains women have made and want to turn back the clock. Nikki van der Gaag asks the question: how might feminism improve the lives of men as well as women? And is there a place for men in the feminist story?

Tales From A Second Hand Wand Shoppe: Book 2 - Gnomes, and Halflings, and Assassins! Oh My!

By: Robert P. Wills,Nikki Taylor

Aution lay in ruins. Charred, smoldering ruins. The Gnomes, Rat, and Nulu make their way to Big Julie's School of Magic. They're looking for a place to hide out until things cool down. News hasn't spread about Grimbledung being responsible for the town-wide fire and they want to keep it that way. Julesville is founded around Julie's school and everything seems to be moving along smoothly until a newly-unemployed Werewolf and Haberdashery owner show up. With Akita and Pozzuoli in town, things aren't looking good for Grimbledung! Fortunately for him, the impending Halfling invasion gets everyone's attention. When a contingent of battle-hardened Halflings arrive in town and declares Martial Law, things look dire. To make matters worse, the Halfling Army masses on the other side of the Anti-Ogre wall. Working together, the gang tricks the Halfling soldiers into leaving Julesville (intact even), repels the Halfling invasion, and restores peace to The Lands. Well, not really those last two...

Advanced Qualitative Research

A Guide to Using Theory

By: Michelle O′Reilly,Nikki Kiyimba

This distinctive, nuanced book addresses the more complex theoretical issues embedded in the qualitative research paradigm. Adopting a reflective stance that emphasises the role of the researcher it carefully avoids a standardised ‘tick box’ approach to methods. Throughout each chapter, theory is powerfully and persuasively interwoven as its impact on practical topics such as data management and safety in the field is discussed. O′Reilly and Kiyimba bring an authority and clarity to the debate, taking us beyond the mechanical notions of qualitative methods and standardised approaches to research. Instead, they focus on subjects like methodological integrity, perspective driven data collection and theoretically-led analysis. This will be an important resource for anyone looking to practically engage with advanced qualitative research methods.

The Sigmas of Midon

By: Nikki Anne Ellison

The eleven girls of the Sigma Beta Pi Sorority at Midon University are different from many other sorority girls; their cleanly lived lives and irrepressible happiness make it easy for them to keep their sororal mission of helping as many people as possible. Whit, Bree, Pakwa, Embry, Tia, Rosie, Rachel, Andrea, Jamila, Mei, and Maggie are as varied as they are similar. Some have magic, some talk to animals, and one of them is trying to break a spell. Some can cook, some can sing, and one can shoot arrows off a jumping horse. One can fight, one is good at languages, and most have boyfriends whom they adore. And when the neighboring sorority and fraternity are suspected of illegal activities, the Sigmas work together to expose them. But darker forces are at work at Midon, and most of the Sigmas are kidnapped by practitioners of Black Magic who are out for revenge. It's now up to the remaining Sigmas to free them, even as more and more of them are taken. But time is running out for rescue as the captive Sigmas are being beaten, placed under spells, or left to starve. Ever wonder what would happen if all the famous fairy tale princesses were friends? Drawing from Grimm, Anderson, and others, this mixed-up fairy tale tells the story of eleven girls who love who they are and who always try to do the right thing, even in the face of intense opposition.

Pain-Free Horse Riding

An Illustrated Guide to Prevention, Self-Care, and Injury Management for Riders of All Abilities

By: Nikki Robinson

Discover why you have pain and tension, learn how they affect your horse and riding, and master techniques for treating and preventing pain and injury in the future. Pain-Free Horse Riding is the first book to combine exercises for horseback riders to increase strength and flexibility and improve riding and address the pain they suffer from and how to relieve it. Horse rider and Myofascial Release therapist Nikki Robinson offers realistic ways to improve common conditions--back and neck pain, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, joint pain and stiffness, and repetitive strain injury--without giving up the activity you love. The book provides an introduction to fascia, covers how your body reacts to injury, and addresses common symptoms such as pain, tension, and inflammation. A key chapter focuses specifically on riding posture--the position of your head, shoulders, back, buttocks, and legs--including exercises to solve your riding problems with myofascial techniques. Also included are personal stories from riders who have had success with these methods. The format of the book allows readers to start at the beginning and read all the way through or to go straight to the sections that address their particular condition. There are cross-references throughout to direct readers where to find additional information if they are interested.

Frozen in Time

The Enduring Legacy of the 1961 U.S. Figure Skating Team

By: Nikki Nichols

Read the deeply moving and impeccably researched account of the events surrounding the plane crash that killed the 1961 US figure skating team. Only once has the United States lost an entire national team to disaster: 1961, when all eighteen members of the US figure skating team died in the crash of Sabena Flight 548. Sixteen family members, coaches, and friends died with them. Frozen in Time takes you, for the first time ever, inside the lives of these skaters, revealing their friendships and romances, rivalries, sacrifices, and triumphs. The skaters you’ll read about were the top finishers at the 1961 US National Championships. Winning a medal at Nationals earned each skater passage aboard Sabena Flight 548, a state-of-the-art Boeing 707. The plane would take them to Brussels, where they planned to board a new plane for Prague, host city of the 1961 World Figure Skating Championships. Some of the skaters brought parents or older siblings as chaperones. Coaches and judges also boarded the plane, and some of them brought spouses and children. When the plane crashed in a Belgian field on February 15, entire families were shattered, and the American skating program suffered a staggering blow that threatened to cripple it for many years. Frozen in Time takes you on a journey to experience the highly competitive US National and North American championships of that fateful year. This story takes place in the final days of what now seems like an antique era, when the world was black and white, when figure skating was not a well-publicized sport. The book portrays strong, accomplished women leading unconventional lives on a national stage in a conservative era. The story of the Owen and Westerfeld women—along with all the dedicated athletes—transcends the world of sport and touches the human heart. It is one of the most powerful and tragic stories in the history of American sports. “. . . a reverential tribute. Skating enthusiasts will want to add this to the shelf.” —Publishers Weekly

Bite Me!

The Unofficial Guide to Buffy the Vampire Slayer

By: Nikki Stafford

Take a deep dive into the TV series that brought us all into the Buffyverse—including an episode guide, a trivia quiz, cast bios, and more! It’s been more than a decade since Buffy Summers first walked into the Sunnydale High library and came face-to-face with her Watcher, who told her she was the Chosen One who would save the world from vampires. In the seven seasons that Buffy the Vampire Slayer was on TV, we watched her kill her true love (but he got better), graduate high school (by blowing it up), discover she had a sister (who . . . uh . . . was always there?), sacrifice her own life (but she got better), watch her sidekicks become heroes (and villains), and, essentially, grow up. Bite Me!, Nikki Stafford’s critical analysis of the show, was one of the bestselling and most critically acclaimed books on Buffy when it was released in 2002. Current up to season 6, the book examined Buffy’s development, and outlined the mythical, religious, and historical backgrounds to the episodes. Nikki’s guide to season 7 appeared in her Angel book, but there was never one place where fans could get their Buffy fix all in one place. Until now. Revised and updated, the 10th Buffyversary edition of Bite Me! contains all seven seasons of this groundbreaking series, chronicles what happened to all of its stars, gives the background story to why the series ended and what legacy it has had, and even contains information about the new Buffy “season eight” comic book series from Dark Horse. Bite Me! is the definitive guide for all Buffy fans.
