On the Real Side: A History of African American Comedy
ISBN: 9781556523519 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 672 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This comprehensive history of black humor sets it in the context of American popular culture. Blackface minstrelsy, Stepin Fetchit, and the Amos n Andy show presented a distorted picture of African Americans; this book contrasts this image with the authentic underground humor of African Americans found in folktales, race records, and all-black shows and films. After generations of stereotypes, the underground humor finally emerged before the American public with Richard Pryor in the 1970s. But Pryor was not the first popular comic to present authentically black humor. Watkins offers...

Good Stress Bad Stress: Rethinking Stress Management
ISBN: 9780993087714 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. We have been taught to treat stress as an illness - an enemy to be defeated; a disease to be cured. But how do we square this view with the old saying that "a bit of stress is good for you"? How do we reconcile it with the observation that many high achievers seem to thrive on their stress? It seems that many of the things we have been taught about stress and stress management are wrong. It turns out that negative beliefs about stress are far more damaging than stress itself. Moreover, many of the techniques we have been taught for managing stress provide at best short-term relief rather than...
