Euphoria is the feeling of intense happiness and happiness is equated with feeling pleasure or contentment, meaning that happiness is not to be confused with joy, ecstasy, bliss, or other more intense feelings. Happiness can be either feeling or showing, meaning that happiness is not necessarily an internal or external experience, but can be both. In this busy life, people rarely get time to enjoy little moments of life and this is what has given name to this book. EUPHORIC TALES is the collection of efforts, coordination, cooperation of 30 authors. All have beautifully penned happy moments of their lives, shared their own experiences, thoughts and a lot more. This journey wouldn't have been successful without the dedication and determination of these authors.

The first anthology to focus exclusively on queer readings of Spanish, Latin American, and US Latina lesbian literature and culture, Tortilleras interrogates issues of gender, national identity, race, ethnicity, and class to show the impossibility of projecting a singular Hispanic or Latina Lesbian. Examining carefully the works of a range of lesbian writers and performance artists, including Carmelita Tropicana and Christina Peri Rossi, among others, the contributors create a picture of the complicated and multi-textured contributions of Latina and Hispanic lesbians to literature and culture. More than simply describing this sphere of creativity, the contributors also recover from history the long, veiled existence of this world, exposing its roots, its impact on lesbian culture, and, making the power of lesbian performance and literature visible.

This book is the first to systematically examine the representation of women by mainstream Hebrew authors from the Palmah Generation to the New Wave. Fuchs' unique analytical method exposes the male-centered bias which often inspires the works of such prominent and widely translated authors as S. Yizhar, Moshe Shamir, A. B. Yehoshua and Amos Oz. She exposes both the continuities and the transformations in the literary representations of women and explains them in innovative ways, grounded in aesthetic, social, political, and cultural conditions and ideologies. The bold and unexpected discoveries offered by this book illuminate the complex ways in which Israel's political predicaments, for example, affect the representation of women, as well as the various ways in which Israeli literature uses female images to express the anxiety and frustration arising from these predicaments. This pioneering study will be invaluable to feminist literary critics, scholars, and teachers and students of modern Hebrew literature.

The culture in North America is shifting out from under the Christian church. This book demonstrates how this shift is calling for change in the church and the art of Jesus proclamation. On the one hand, the church is losing its place of influence within greater society, but on the other hand, this post-Christian citizenry are more open (less anxious) when faced with many Christian expressions. One particular hope for the church, as it discovers a new life within post-Christendom, will be found in historically grounded, liturgical worship. Welcome to the Table was written by a churchman who is also a citizen of post-Christian culture. It provides a thoughtful discussion of the place of liturgical worship within the culture shift, addressing it thematically and providing specific and practical suggestions for the administration of ancient forms.

Anwyn Morgan, a naïve “missionary kid” takes you into her heart and mind unraveling her journey through a life of turning away from God and doing things her own way. She goes to India as the young bride of Benoy Guha to begin their fairy-tale marriage. He is handsome, rich and available. She just turned twenty-one and is eager for freedom and independence; a new beginning. Why wait? Benoy has been away too long from his cultural upbringing and so forgotten the rules and regulations of living with parents. His mother takes an instant dislike to Anwyn. Who can blame her? When the two women first meet, Benoy is too timid to introduce Anwyn as his wife. Locked in a space between two cultures, ethnicities and unsolved differences, Anwyn feels stifled living in a “joint family” system but tries hard to fit the mold of a meek, respectful wife. Benoy, who has reverted to a more orthodox lifestyle, struggles with her strong will and independent spirit realizing that along with depriving his mother the privilege of choosing his bride, he has perhaps made the wrong choice.

George Fisher seeks the moral roots of America's antidrug regime and challenges claims that early antidrug laws arose from racial animus. Those moral roots trace to early Christian sexual strictures, which later influenced Puritan condemnations of drunkenness, and ultimately shaped the early American drug war. Early laws against opium dens, cocaine, and cannabis rarely rose from racial strife, but sprang from the traditional moral censure of intoxication and perceived threats to respectable white women and youth. The book closes with an examination of cannabis legalization, driven in part by the movement for racial justice.
