Free Download Karen Ehman, "Hoodwinked: Ten Myths Moms Believe and Why We All Need To Knock It Off"
English | ISBN: 0310343437 | 2015 | 224 pages | AZW3 | 758 KB
Moms have been hoodwinked-tricked into believing lies that keep them from not only enjoying motherhood, but forging friendships with other moms who might tackle the tasks of motherhood differently. Myths such as "Mothering is natural, easy, and instinctive" cause moms to feel like failures if they have questions or apprehensions in raising their kids. Operating from the premise that "The way I mother is the right (and only) way" puts up fences between moms instead of building bridges of encouragement between them. Lies such as "I am my child’s choices" tempt moms to mistakenly believe that if their child makes a wrong choice then they, in turn, must be a bad mom.

Free Download John S. Nelson, "Cowboy Politics: Myths and Discourses in Popular Westerns from The Virginian to Unforgiven and Deadwood "
English | ISBN: 1498549470 | 2017 | 412 pages | EPUB | 841 KB
The politics of popular westerns are surprising in substance and significance, especially of late. Cowboy Politics shows how westerns in literature, cinema, and television face the challenges of Western Civilization even more than the perils of American frontiers. Its strategy is to compare key westerns with major theories of modern and postmodern politics. So it analyzes novels from Owen Wister to Zane Grey and Larry McMurtry. It focuses on films from the western revival beginning in the 1990s and featuring Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven, while its interest in TV stretches from singing cowboys and Gunsmoke to David Milch’s Deadwood.
