Lin You unexpectedly transmigrated from Blue Star into a vast and diverse cultivation world. Born as a noble heir, he had a rough start: crippled cultivation due to going berserk early on, and being nothing more than a simp for a manipulative green tea girl... Truly, what an interesting beginning. Fortunately, he awakened a powerful “Reverse Heavenly Flow Rebate System” — and chose his own father as the target of the rebates. So while others were secretly grinding away, Lin You focused on just two things: Lying low like a salted fish, and Urging his father to work harder and harder. Some time later, Lin You stepped out of his small wooden hut — the same one he'd been lazing in — only to be met with ridicule from countless clan disciples. But when those same hard-training disciples witnessed Lin You, who supposedly couldn’t cultivate, unleash a power that crushed them all… they were stunned. Lin You simply responded with righteous conviction: “I'm just a rare exception. Hard work and diligence are still the true path to success.” Hmm… being a salted fish is fun for a while, but he can’t let himself corrupt the work ethic of the entire cultivation world!

Once only a topic among women in the private sphere, motherhood and mothering have become important intellectual topics across academic disciplines. Even so, no book has yet devoted a sustained look at how exploring mothering rhetorics – the rhetorics of reproduction (rhetorics about the reproductive function of women/mothers) and reproducing rhetorics (the rhetorical reproduction of ideological systems and logics of contemporary culture) expand our understanding of mothering, motherhood, communication, and gender. Mothering Rhetorics begins to fill this gap for scholars and teachers interested in the study of mothering rhetorics in their historical and contemporary permutations. The contr...
Compared to much of the rest of the world, America and its citizens are rich. But many people are also deeply miserable—at work, at home, or both. In this provocative book, author John Brueggemann unpacks why so many people are struggling, both emotionally and financially, in a nation that looks so prosperous on the surface. From a hospital patient reduced to a balance sheet to a parent working such long hours that he misses dinner, Brueggemann argues that market thinking has permeated every corner of our lives. In the pursuit of more and better, relationships erode, to the detriment of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Rich, Free, and Miserable not only outlines these pressing social problems, but also offers practical suggestions for people looking to make a positive change.
Since the earliest days of America, racist imagery has been used to create harmful stereotypes of the indigenous people. In this book, the conflict between invading European white settlers and the indigenous groups who occupied the land that became the United States is described through the context of race and racism. Using depictions from art, literature, radio, cinema and television, the origin and persistence of such stereotypes are explained, and their debilitating effects on the well-being of Indians are presented. This text also explores their accomplishments in attempts to maintain their sovereignty, dignity and respect.
