Paperback. Zustand: Good. The desert tribes of Yemen call her Bilqis. In the high plateaus of Ethiopia, she is revered as Makeda. And in the fertile valleys of Anatolian Turkey, she is known as Saba Sultana. Who was the mysterious Queen of Sheba, and why has her legend survived for three thousand years - not least in accounts from both the Bible and the Koran? In 1996, a geology team working for Chuck Fipke (the immensely colourful discoverer of the Etaki diamond mines in the Northwest Territories and the subject of the bestselling 1999 biography Fire into Ice) was looking for gold deposits in the remote Yemeni desert. There they stumbled upon ancient mine tunnels. Were these primitive Iron Age ruins the source of Sheba's gold? Author Larry Frolick travelled with Fipke's Cantex crew into the desert, seeking the truth of the legendary Queen. What he found there were not answers but more questions - questions that ultimately led him from Yemen to the Highlands of Ethiopia during Lent to Anatolian Turkey, where the ruins of the great city of Ephesus now lie inland, beside fields that were once an ancient harbour.and finally deep into the heart of Sheba's mystery. Along the way, the author meets a vast array of travellers, madmen, and visionaries - a Japanese social worker, who specializes in the treatment of students who stab their teachers; a Welshman fleeing perfect love; the last director of the Back-to-Africa Movement; perverse German trekkers; white Rastas; punk missionaries; and Turkish "beats" - pilgrims all. Their vivid stories create a surreal backdrop to Frolick's search for "the epical Queen.".…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Q. What does everyone want from a marriage A. For someone else to be the wife! Exploring the many cultural assumptions exposed by divorce - sex, money, dating, love, home, and health - Splitting Up is both a guide to the new social landscape and a serious search for personal meaning in an age of rapidly shifting cultural values. According to social theorist and lawyer Larry G. Frolick, divorce is neither a legal nor a therapeutic problem - it is a serious cultural issue. No one can perform the old social roles anymore. Drawing on his most interesting cases from twenty years practicing law, and from studies in culture, the author shows how the seventy-per-cent divorce rate is the flip side of mall marriage - that is, a relationship based on consumption, rather than on saving - and how divorce is part of our common destiny, a painful world many of us will one day encounter. This fascinating book takes the reader on an unsettling trip into the strange world of divorce, revealing the new social order and the roles we must play in it to survive - Working-Warrior Mom, Treat Daddy, and the Lost Child - as our society evolves into the next millenium. Splitting Up is a hip handbook for divorce in the twenty-first century, a guide to survival and renewal. The many topics include: - The Worst Divorce Story Ever Told - Sex Realities: Sex Talk & Real Sex - Divorce Statistics & the Myth of Undifference - Depression: Can a Million Therapists Be Wrong - My Ex-Spouse was an Alien! - McParenting in an Age of Wire Monkeys: Children Need One Thing - The Lawyers Other Lawyers Use - Your Money & Your Sanity & How to Keep Both - and much, much more.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'It was a different crow, but the same crow, you understand Because there is only one Crow. God made them all black and identical-looking because there is no reason for them to be different birds. That's why you can never kill a crow, because it lives forever. Crow never dies!' -- James Itsi For over 50,000 years, the Great Hunt has shaped human existence, creating a vital spiritual reality where people, animals, and the land share intimate bonds. Author Larry Frolick takes the reader deep into one of the last refuges of hunting societies: Canada's far north. Based on his experiences travelling with First Nations Elders in remote communities across the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut, this vivid narrative combines accounts of daily life, unpublished archival records, First Nations' stories and Traditional Knowledge with personal observation to illuminate the northern wilderness, its people, and the complex relationships that exist among them. Foreword by Paul Carlucci. …

Zustand: Wie neu. Schilt Publishing, Amsterdam. 2011. First edition, first printing. New, mint, unread. Winner of the World press Photo 2012 in the category "Portraits, series"! Paperback in cardboard slipcase. 180 x 240 mm. 160 pages. Text: Larry Frolick. Language: english. Perfect condition! Collector`s copy! After a lone trip to Chernobyl in 2005, Donald Weber soon returned to the abandoned site of the nuclear disaster and spent the next six years in Russia and Ukraine photographing the ruins of the unstoppable storm we call history. Interrogations is the result of his personal quest to uncover the hidden meaning of the bloody 20th Century. Travelling and living with ordinary people who had endured much, and survived everything, Weber began to see the modern State as a primitive and bloody sacrificial rite of unnamed Power. In dialogue with writer Larry Frolick - whose own ancestors had been decimated in the final months of WW II, Weber insistently and provocatively addresses his questions both to the living survivors and to the ghosts of the State`s innumerable victims, resurrecting their final hours by taking their point of view, and performing a kind of incantatory meditation over their private encounters with Power. The policemen, working girls, thugs, dissidents and hustlers who inhabit these pages are all orphans of a secret History; the outline of our collective fate takes shape in Weber`s epic work, expanding our awareness of what it means to be an actor in today`s dark opera. A regular contributor to the literary quarterly, Descant, Larry travels yearly to Asia, the Middle East, and the Arctic from his family home in Niagara on the Lake, Ontario, Canada. His personal interests include collecting vintage audio equipment from the 1970s, hard bebop, cycling, and the war poetry of the Great War. Donald Weber originally worked as an architect in Rotterdam with urban theorist Rem Koolhaas, Office for Metropolitan Architecture. He freelanced for many publications in Canada and abroad before devoting his artistic career to an epic study of how Power deploys an all-encompassing theatre, implicating everyone in its secret collaboration with both masters and victims. His projects include "The Underclass and Its Bosses: Crime & Punishment in Ukraine", which won the Lange- Taylor Documentary Prize; "Bastard Eden, Our Chernobyl", which won the Photolucida Book Award; "The Drunken Bride, Russia Unveiled", which won a Guggenheim Fellowship; "Cities Under Siege", which won a Canada Council Fellowship. He is represented by the photo agency VII. Larry Frolick is an award-winning author and social critic with a special interest in post-modern global culture. His published works include four non-fiction books and scores of journal essays and magazine articles based on deep field research, on diverse subjects. Among his numerous awards are four National Magazine Awards (Canada); the 2006 Alexander Ross Award for Canada`s Best New Magazine Journalist; and the 2006 Lange-Taylor Prize (USA) for a long-term collaboration with Weber on a documentary project, "The Human is an Atom that Won`t Be Split", about the post-Soviet experience of Ukraine`s underclass. Larry is currently completing three new books, including "Melt Down", another documentary collaboration with photographer Don Weber on life with nuclear decay in four international societies.***************Schilt Publishing, Amsterdam. 2011.
