Corte (Over 5,600 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. In these pages written over half-a-century ago, Nicolas Corte gives you incontrovertible proof that Satan exists, that he and his legions of devils assault you daily, and that by means of relentless attacks overwhelming and subtle they intend to corrupt you, damn you, and drag you into Hell along with those you love and all the rest of mankind. A grand battle is raging right now for the future of your soul: not an abstract battle of ideas and principles, but a tough, personal struggle that pits God and you against Satan and his minions. Worse: the nearer you grow to God and the closer to victory, the greater are the traps the Devil lays in your path. With God's help and the help of the good angels, who are truly your friends and guardians you can repel the Devil; but to succeed, you must first come to understand Satan's devious ways and recognize his subtle paths of attack. Armed with that knowledge, which Nicolas Corte gives you here, you'll soon be able to identify temptations early and equip yourself to repel them long before they grow strong enough to overthrow you. Soon, the Devil's trials will cease to be for you occasions of sin, becoming instead (as they did for scores of saints) providential opportunities for genuine spiritual victories.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. A thrilling ethnography of big wave surfing in Hawaii that explores the sociology of fun.  Straight from the beaches of Hawaii comes an exciting new ethnography of a community of big-wave surfers. Oahu?s Waimea Bay attracts the world?s best big wave surfers?men and women who come to test their physical strength, courage, style, knowledge of the water, and love of the ocean. Sociologist Ugo Corte sees their fun as the outcome of social interaction within a community. Both as participant and observer, he examines how mentors, novices, and peers interact to create episodes of collective fun in a dangerous setting; how they push one another?s limits, nourish a lifestyle, advance the sport and, in some cases, make a living based on their passion for the sport.    In Dangerous Fun, Corte traces how surfers earn and maintain a reputation within the field, and how, as innovations are introduced, and as they progress, establish themselves and age, they modify their strategies for maximizing performance and limiting chances of failure.     Corte argues that fun is a social phenomenon, a pathway to solidarity rooted in the delight in actualizing the self within a social world. It is a form of group cohesion achieved through shared participation in risky interactions with uncertain outcomes.  Ultimately, Corte provides an understanding of collective effervescence, emotional energy, and the interaction rituals leading to fateful moments?moments of decision that, once made, transform one?s self-concept irrevocably.…
