Philosopher, cultural critic, and agent provocateur Slavoj Zizek constructs a fascinating new framework to look at the forces of violence in our world.
Using history, philosophy, books, movies, Lacanian psychiatry, and jokes, Slavoj Zizek examines the ways we perceive and misperceive violence. Drawing from his unique cultural vision, Zizek brings new light to the Paris riots of 2005; he questions the permissiveness of violence in philanthropy; in daring terms, he reflects on the powerful image and determination of contemporary terrorists. Violence, Zizek states, takes three forms--subjective (crime, terror), objective (racism, hate-speech, discrimination), and systemic (the catastrophic effects of economic and political systems)--and often one form of violence blunts our ability to see the others, raising complicated questions. Does the advent of capitalism and, indeed, civilization cause more violence than it prevents? Is there violence in the simple idea of the neighbour? And could the appropriate form of action against violence today simply be to contemplate, to think? Beginning with these and other equally contemplative questions, Zizek discusses the inherent violence of globalization, capitalism, fundamentalism, and language, in a work that will confirm his standing as one of our most erudite and incendiary modern thinkers.Binding Type: Paperback

At Her Service
Format: Kindle
Another brilliant book by Anna Stone. I truly enjoy her books. The give and take in her characters is a delight to read.
The secondary characters are well developed and added to the storyline.
The angst was done well. The resolution was beautifully done.
I always look forward to a new book by Anna Stone, and it usually goes to the top of my tbr. I will continue to follow her.

How do you control another woman? Just like this!
Format: Kindle
Anna Stone has written a thrilling very hot and sexy love story. I was grabbed by the end of the first page and did not put it down until the last period! There are so many things to build the anxiety; childhood trauma, a total need to be dominated, job stress, and that went to both MC’s, and then there was a stalker added for good measure. As often as my heart swooned, and my imagination took over … honestly this story is good!

Instant love
Format: Kindle
This is typical Anna Stone writing which means it is very enjoyable but will follow very similarly to her other books. Valerie and Abby have an instant connection so no build up really. The drama with the ex was introduced but not played up enough. Most of the drama with Valerie seemed to be handled like background info and fixed off screen. Same with Abby and her family issues like it’s mentioned but miraculously better at the end. I had high hopes for this but I’m really not into the instant love trope. I do recommend if you are a fan of the author.
