    Blackjack is Arron Day, a black soldier of fortune living in a tumultuous time - an era of hot jazz, ancient terrors, deadly quests, and looming world war. Highly paid to beat the odds, he travels the globe battling powerful enemies, the ghost of his past, and the bigotry of his times. Created by Alex Simmons, "Shooters" is the latest hard-hitting thriller. It's a collection of pulp action adventures set in the 1930s, yet casting an eerie reflection of the struggles of our time. Bigotry, racial tensions, violence, greed and the challenge of seeing each other as human beings was as volatile in the "dirty thirties" as it is now. From New York to Spain, to Shanghai, Arron Day must use his wit, fists, and weapons to save lives, while battling gangsters, cults, and warlords!It's the 1930s ... a good time for a dark hunter.

  • - The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality
    af Christopher Ryan & Cacilda Jethá
    278,95 kr.

    Since Darwin's day, we've been told that sexual monogamy comes naturally to our species. Mainstream scienceas well as religious and cultural institutionshas maintained that men and women evolved in families in which a man's possessions and protection were exchanged for a woman's fertility and fidelity. But this narrative is collapsing. Fewer and fewer couples are getting married, and divorce rates keep climbing as adultery and flagging libido drag down even seemingly solid marriages.How can reality be reconciled with the accepted narrative? It can't be, according to renegade thinkers Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jeth. While debunking almost everything we "e;know"e; about sex, they offer a bold alternative explanation in this provocative and brilliant book.Ryan and Jeth's central contention is that human beings evolved in egalitarian groups that shared food, child care, and, often, sexual partners. Weaving together convergent, frequently overlooked evidence from anthropology, archaeology, primatology, anatomy, and psychosexuality, the authors show how far from human nature monogamy really is. Human beings everywhere and in every era have confronted the same familiar, intimate situations in surprisingly different ways. The authors expose the ancient roots of human sexuality while pointing toward a more optimistic future illuminated by our innate capacities for love, cooperation, and generosity.With intelligence, humor, and wonder, Ryan and Jeth show how our promiscuous past haunts our struggles over monogamy, sexual orientation, and family dynamics. They explore why long-term fidelity can be so difficult for so many; why sexual passion tends to fade even as love deepens; why many middle-aged men risk everything for transient affairs with younger women; why homosexuality persists in the face of standard evolutionary logic; and what the human body reveals about the prehistoric origins of modern sexuality. In the tradition of the best historical and scientific writing, Sex at Dawn unapologetically upends unwarranted assumptions and unfounded conclusions while offering a revolutionary understanding of why we live and love as we do.
