Like The Blind Side set in the world of opera, this is the touching, triumphant story of a young black man's journey from violence and despair to one of the world's most elite cultural institutions.Ry

Going behind the scenes of some of the most revolutionary experiments on sexuality today, this stimulating exploration of female desire answers a vast array of thought-provoking questions that shed ne

How do we come to be who we are sexually? How do we cope with the forces of desire? How can we understand the relationship between the transcendent and the physical, between the wish for love and the

The foundation of psychoanalysis lies in the theory of the construction of sexual identity, but Bergner (English, West Virginia U.) suggests that such an approach can be useful understanding racial id

Never before had Daniel Bergner seen a spectacle as bizarre as the one he had come to watch that Sunday in October. Murderers, rapists, and armed robbers were competing in the annual rodeo at Angola,

The notion of an (∞,1)-category has become widely used in homotopy theory, category theory, and in a number of applications. There are many different approaches to this structure, all of them equivalent, and each with its corresponding homotopy theory. This book provides a relatively self-contained source of the definitions of the different models, the model structure (homotopy theory) of each, and the equivalences between the models. While most of the current literature focusses on how to extend category theory in this context, and centers in particular on the quasi-category model, this book offers a balanced treatment of the appropriate model structures for simplicial categories, Segal categories, complete Segal spaces, quasi-categories, and relative categories, all from a homotopy-theoretic perspective. Introductory chapters provide background in both homotopy and category theory and contain many references to the literature, thus making the book accessible to graduates and to resea

"This book is basically an analysis of theatre scene design through the powers and characteristics of physical space. It covers an array of considerations for the theatre designer: the observable feat
