Analyzing Western films from different vantage points and by using different critical methods, Tuska compares the recorded fantasies about the American West with the actual historical events. He deals with the social and psychological aspects of the systematic distortion and misrepresentation of the American past, and the influence of this practice on the national character. Part I investigates the structure of Westerns--the formula Western, the historical romance, and the historical reconstruction. Part II highlights the themes and film characteristics in the directorial efforts of John Ford, Howard Hawks, Henry Hathaway, Anthony Mann, Budd Boethicher, and Sam Pekinpah. Part III examines the use of legends and historical personalities of the American frontier. Part IV investigates Hollywood's misrepresentation of both women and Native Americans in Western films. ISBN 0-313-24603-3 : $29.95.

Inclusive Cultural Empathy shows readers how to reach beyond the comfort zone of an individualistic perspective and increase competence in a relationship-centered context. The authors weave their own layered multicultural experiences with procedural, theoretical, and practical lessons to bring readers a model for how they might infuse their own clinical work with inclusion and multicultural sensitivity.The authors present a broad definition of culture - to include nationality, ethnicity, language, age, gender, socioeconomic status, family roles, and other affiliations - and engage the reader with lively examples and exercises that can be adapted for classroom, supervision groups, or individual use. With this book readers will learn how to help clients explore, discover, and leverage those internalized voices of their ""culture teachers"" that teach us who we are, how to behave, and how to resolve our problems or find life balance.

When street-fighting anarchist Dutchie's New Age girlfriend is killed by a bomb blast in Oxford Street, he vows revenge. But how can he track down the terrorists responsible, especially when they're posing as foreign exchange dealers in the City? The only way of getting inside and to the heart of things, is for Dutchie to clean up his act, and for the dreadlocked class warrior to become a city-slicker. The Riot Act is a fast paced tale of mayhem and revenge, featuring protestors, yuppies, killers and spies. This thriller for the late nineties heralds an engaging new voice in British crime fiction.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller III¿s investigation into Russian influence on the 2016 election of Donald Trump¿including links between the campaign and Russian interests, obstruction of justice by President Trump, and any other matters that may arise in the course of the investigation¿has been the focal point of American politics since its inception in May 2017. President Trump and his supporters affirm that the investigation is a ¿witch hunt¿ and the product of a plot by the political establishment¿the ¿deep state¿¿to delegitimize his presidency. Democrats in the US House of Representatives hope to use the report to begin impeachment proceedings, with the support of those critical of the president. Media tracks Mueller¿s every move, and the investigation has been subject to constant speculation by political pundits everywhere. It has resulted in the indictments of Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, and many others.
