Beautiful, uninhibited, yet innocent Star Wood Leigh is trying to earn enough money for cosmetology school when favors for some friends bring her a modeling offer that leads her to Hollywood and new opportunities, both professional and erotic.

The actress, activist, and once infamous Playboy Playmate reclaims the narrative of her life in a memoir that defies expectation in both content and approach, blending searing prose with snippets of original poetry. In this honest, layered and unforgettable book that alternates between storytelling and her own poetry, Pamela Anderson breaks the mold of the celebrity memoir while taking back the tale that has been crafted about her. Her blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in the 1990s. Discovered in the stands of a football game, she was immediately rocket launched into fame, becoming Playboy’s favorite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sexuality. But what happens when you lose grip on your own life—and the image the notoriety machine creates for you is not who you really are? Growing up on Vancouver Island, the daughter of young, wild, and unprepared parents, Pamela Anderson’s childhood was not easy, but it allowed her to create her own world—surrounded by nature and imaginary friends. When she overcame her deep shyness and grew into herself, she fell into a life on the cover of magazines, the beaches of Malibu, the sets of movies and talk shows, the arms of rockstars, the coveted scene at the Playboy Mansion. And as her star rose, she found herself tabloid fodder, at the height of an era when paparazzi tactics were bent on capturing a celebrity’s most intimate, and sometimes weakest moments. This is when Pamela Anderson lost control of her own narrative, hurt by the media and fearful of the public’s perception of who she was…and who she wasn’t. Fighting back with a sense of grace, fueled by a love of art and literature, and driven by a devotion to her children and the causes she cares about most, Pamela Anderson has now gone back to the island where she grew up, after a memorable run starring as Roxie in Chicago on Broadway, reclaiming her free spirit but also standing firm as a strong, creative, confident woman.

An unlikely pair of voices-the world''s most recognizable beauty icon and "America''s rabbi"-comes together to diagnose how meaningful, passionate sex is on the decline in Western culture, and what is necessary to save it. Sex is dying in America. Inundated with sex and starved for it, obsessed with it yet clueless about it, we are slowly forgetting how to make love. The crisis of modern sexuality is seen in high divorce rates, in the degradation of sexuality through pornography, and tasteless displays of empty, counterfeit erotica. Most of all, it''s seen in sexless marriages and platonic relationships where cybersex has become more addictive than the real thing. Sex has become so trivialized, coarsened, and vulgarized that couples no longer feel its pull. The once powerful and irresistible magnetism of sex is being diluted and drained. The authors propose replacing the 1960s'' sexual revolution with a new sensual revolution, a rediscovery of intimacy that encourages and ennobles human relationships, elevates healthy lust, and gets us from looking up from the glowing screens of our smartphones to the people around us, most especially the people we love the most. Lust for Love embraces the idea that what our most important relationships need most is lust. It is necessary to rediscover what''s sexy again, how to bring back romance, and to understand that in addition to love, we need lust to repair our unfulfilling sex lives and broken relationships. Lust for Love proposes a return to what lovemaking was always meant to be: a desire to know and experience another person in the deepest possible way.

If the saying “To be the best, you must learn from the best” holds true, then this book is gold for all aspiring dancers. Dance Composition Basics, Second Edition, doesn’t just feature the works and brilliance of dance and choreographic legends Alonzo King and Dwight Rhoden—it is completely based on the choreographic operations and forms in three of their original works: Chants and Dreamer by King and Verge by Rhoden. All compositional exercises in the book are based on those three works, and the book itself is expertly crafted by Pamela Anderson Sofras, who has 34 years of experience teaching dance at the university level. Dance Composition Basics, designed for beginning dance composition courses, introduces dancers to choreography through a series of problem-solving activities. The activities are starting points for novice dancers to embark on their own attempts at choreography. Useful Tools The book offers several useful tools for instructors: 27 lesson plans that draw from and highlight selected portions of original compositions by King and Rhoden 33 reproducible assessment and self-evaluation forms An instructor guide that includes a sample course syllabus plus written exams for each chapter PowerPoint presentations to guide students through each lesson A web resource featuring online videos that are closely tied to the lesson plans and provide a richer learning experience for students; students can access this resource inside or outside of class Highly Valuable Video Resource The videos give students access to Alonzo King and Dwight Rhoden, highly successful and respected choreographers, who share their processes and techniques. Many video clips show the choreographers working on the same movement concepts featured in the corresponding lesson. Students will see the choreographers in action with professional dancers as they develop the movement material for each dance. Because students get to see the choreographers and dancers struggling with the same creative concepts they have been assigned, these clips add tremendous value to Dance Composition. Book and Web Resource Organization The text is split into five chapters, each of which features several lessons based on that chapter’s choreographic concept. Each lesson contains the following: An introductory statement and a vocabulary list A warm-up to prepare the body and focus the mind Structured improvisations that help dancers understand the movement concepts of the lesson Problem-solving activities that allow dancers to apply the concepts presented in the improvisations Discussion questions to engage dancers and promote understanding Assessment rubrics to guide evaluation of each dancer’s learning At the end of the book, a glossary provides definitions for the vocabulary terms introduced in the chapters. The main menu of the web resource corresponds with the five chapters in the book. To guide students’ use of the videos, icons have been placed throughout the book, referring readers to additional information in the web resource. Reviewing the videos will provide further insight into the choreographic assignment. The web resource also contains all the discussion questions, assessments, and evaluations found in the book. Instructors can distribute these to students electronically or print them out. Instructors can also adapt the forms to meet their specific needs. The web resource is included with all new print books and some ebooks. For ebook formats that don’t provide access, the web resource is available separately. The Learning Process Dance Composition takes students through a systematic learning process: reading about a concept, discussing the concept, seeing the concept played out on video with professional choreographers and dancers, and exploring the concept through their own movement ideas. Through this process, which includes structured improvisations, students discover a movement vocabulary and original dance phrases. They then more fully develop their movement ideas, with specific movement assignments, and are given feedback by their peers and the instructor. Invaluable Resource Dance Composition Basics, Second Edition, is an invaluable resource for dancers of all styles, from ballet to modern jazz, as it introduces them to some of the compositional structures used by professional choreographers. Through the carefully designed lessons in the book and the expert examples on the video clips, students can use this resource to take their first confident and exhilarating steps into the craft of choreography.

Otevřená a originální autobiografie prokládaná básněmi jednoho ze světových sex-symbolů Pamely Anderson

”Ehkäpä tarinani saa vastakaikua – pikkukaupungin tyttö, joka jotenkin sotkeutui omiin unelmiinsa.” Pamela Anderson kertoo omaelämäkerrassaan, miten ujosta, eläinrakkaasta tytöstä tuli puolivahingossa maailman tunnetuin seksisymboli sekä miten hän säilytti järkensä ja uskonsa ihmisiin hullunmyllyssä nimeltä Hollywood. Pamela Anderson varttui Vancouver Islandilla Kanadassa villin luonnon ympäröimänä teinivanhempiensa sekä suomea puhuneen lempeän isoisänsä kanssa. Eläinrakkaan poikatytön matka tähtiin alkoi, kun televisiokamera osui häneen paikallisessa jalkapallo-ottelussa. Nuori Pamela muutti Hollywoodiin, esiintyi Playboyssa, sai roolin Baywatch-tv-sarjassa, tuli äidiksi sekä rakastui ja erosi rokkari Tommy Leestä koko maailman seuratessa sivusta. Kaikilla oli mielipide Pamelasta, kaikki halusivat palan Pamelaa. Anderson palasi taannoin takaisin kotiseudulleen, puutarhanhoidon ja lukemisen pariin. Siellä hän myös kirjoitti eriskummallisen tarinansa, joka on täynnä valoa ja varjoja, mutta ennen kaikkea lapsenomaista ihmetystä arvaamattoman elämän edessä. Pamela Anderson on kanadalainen näyttelijä. Pamela Anderson -säätiön kautta hän edistää sydäntään lähellä olevia asioita, mukaan lukien valtamerten, sademetsien sekä haavoittuvassa asemassa olevien eläinten suojelua. Pamelan suurin ylpeyden lähde on ollut äitinä oleminen pojilleen Brandon Thomasille ja Dylan Jaggerille.

Scaredy is a koala who is afraid of heights. This is a problem for Scaredy because koalas live in tall gum trees. When Scaredy''s friends discover his fear, they all come together to help him overcome his problem. Scaredy then discovers the importance of true friendships.

Widow Maker is a powerful collection of poems that draws the reader through the heart-rending trauma and horror, tinged with hope and mercy, that the author and her husband face as he endures a medical crisis that few survive, including "the fear that my heart might continue beating/after his is done." There are also moments of grace and unexpected joy as the couples'' love persists through the ordeal. While reading, I experienced chills, shed tears, and in the end, immediately had to go back and read it all again. Highly recommended! -John Burroughs, Ohio Beat Poet Laureate 2019-2021, author of Rattle and Numb In Widow Maker, Anderson-Bartholet skillfully confronts life in all of its hard and soft urgencies; frailty, mortality, and the literal heart''s "tribal beating." This collection is part invocation, part accusation-how we both praise and curse the body that both sustains and fails us. But like her narrator, the poet asks the reader to never glance "down or back," and we don''t want to. This courageous, at times wrenching, collection shows a poet who understands language as grace. -Jessica Jewell, author of Dust Runner Widow Maker is an intimate lyric account of a wife''s crossing the threshold of cardiac trauma where "we breathe metrics" after a husband''s failed heart "snaps...in half" the speaker''s own heart. In apt metaphor, the physiology of cardiac arrest is projected into the world outside her door-a world of "slender arteries" of mud daubers'' nests. We lean into these poems to catch every nuance and sift the subtle layering of experience and emotion captured in clean speech lines. In gripping narrative, the poet depicts a season lurking at the "intersection between earth and sky." This exceptional collection is an invitation to join the poet through the great personal distance she covers: a speaker "stunned" by the widow maker''s work moves through an enormous room of dread, guarded hope and ultimately comes to celebrate and "claim what''s left of the day." -Barbara Sabol, author of Imagine a Town ufeff

"Designed for beginning college-level dance composition courses and dance courses at the middle and high school levels, this textbook and its ancillaries highlight selected portions of original dance compositions by two famous choreographers"--

While the economic interdependence of the world''s industrial democracies permits relatively little variation in their market and monetary policies, the welfare policies of the individual members of the "Group of Seven" differ dramatically. The strength of private-sector interests in the United States continues to prevail over calls for the expansion of social welfare programs; whereas, in Europe, governments at times respond directly to organized groups demanding changes in welfare benefits and generally respond to public support for a "welfare state." But without strong vested interests and social welfare movements, without organized labor-backed (social-democrat) parties, without a political commitment to a welfare state, how is it that Japan still supports substantial welfare policies? In this book, Stephen J. Anderson argues that, unlike what has occurred in Western democracies, distinctive and opposing coalitions of interest groups have formed to support welfare policies in Japan. Anderson explores societal interests that abandon universal social ideals for specific nonuniversal guarantees. Testing various approaches to social policy, this study examines the emergence of Japan''s institutional context and shows how the structure and development of Japan''s particular political coalitions explain the growth of substantial welfare policies. The approach to the research is not only oriented toward Japan, but seeks to answer the broader question of why any state formulates and carries out social welfare policies.
