"I shall consider human actions and appetites just as if it were a question of lines, planes, and bodies." -Spinoza, in Ethics In her first inquiry toward decelerationist aesthetics, Katherine Behar explores the rise of two "big deal" contemporary phenomena, big data and obesity. In both, scale rearticulates the human as a diffuse informational pattern, causing important shifts in political form as well as aesthetic form. Bigness redraws relationships between the singular and the collective. Understood as informational patterns, collectives can be radically inclusive, even incorporating nonhumans. As a result, the political subject is slowly becoming a new object. This social and informational body belongs to no single individual, but is shared in solidarity with something "bigger than you." In decelerationist aesthetics, the aesthetic properties, proclivities, and performances of objects come to defy the accelerationist imperative to be nimbly individuated. Decelerationist aesthetics rejects atomistic, liberal, humanist subjects; this unit of self is too consonant with capitalist relations and functions. Instead, decelerationist aesthetics favors transhuman sociality embodied in particulate, mattered objects; the aesthetic form of such objects resists capitalist speed and immediacy by taking back and taking up space and time. In just this way, big data calls into question the conventions by which humans are defined as discrete entities, and individual scales of agency are made to form central binding pillars of social existence through which bodies are drawn into relations of power and pathos.

In It's Bigger Than Hip Hop, M. K. Asante, Jr. looks at the rise of a generation that sees beyond the smoke and mirrors of corporate-manufactured hip hop and is building a movement that will change not only the face of pop culture, but the world. Asante, a young firebrand poet, professor, filmmaker, and activist who represents this movement, uses hip hop as a springboard for a larger discussion about the urgent social and political issues affecting the post-hip-hop generation, a new wave of youth searching for an understanding of itself outside the self-destructive, corporate hip-hop monopoly. Through insightful anecdotes, scholarship, personal encounters, and conversations with youth across the globe as well as icons such as Chuck D and Maya Angelou, Asante illuminates a shift that can be felt in the crowded spoken-word joints in post-Katrina New Orleans, seen in the rise of youth-led organizations committed to social justice, and heard around the world chanting "It's bigger than hip hop."

People fear death. We don't know how to talk about it, especially to children, and we're afraid to bring it up for fear of making people sadder. Yet children, especially, have questions, and this incredibly gentle and surprisingly light story is full of both comfort and vividly imagined "answers." The first one gives the book its title: A boy hears the voice of his sister calling him one day, a sister he's never met because she died before he was born. The sister in the faded photograph on the wall. So that night he asks his mother what death is like and she tells him, "It's like dreaming, only bigger." That's lovely, but he still has questions, which it turns out his sister can answer! On a dreamy, carefree adventure they ride their bikes together, (not always on the ground), visiting places that were special to her when she was alive. And she talks to him in the older sister, teasing, straightforward, loving way that is exactly what he needs. (It turns out that death is not the only thing that can be Bigger Than a Dream.) Much, much more than bibliotherapy, this is a work of art that speaks with honesty and tenderness about one of life's great mysteries.

It has been said that the richest place on earth is the graveyard because, there, you will find many dreams that were never achieved all because the dream carriers failed to understand the processes that must first be endured, and they equally failed to acquit with God, who gives and fulfills dreams. Therefore, this book was written to encourage all God's dream carriers and to equip them with the revelation of how to realize their dreams. The concept of this book is based on the story of Joseph in the book of Genesis, a man that pursued his dream through painful processes, but by God, he was able to accomplish them even in a strange land Egypt where he was a slave, an immigrant, and later, jailed.

Mitch just can’t catch any luck with the ladies. It all started when his high-school sweetheart left him for a barrel-chested gym rat with big muscles. He can’t help but wonder: is that what all girls want? Wanting changes in his life, he decides to sign up for a membership at his local gym. The gym is a bit unorthodox in its methods, and his orientation starts with a chat that feels more like a therapy session. But the gym’s administrator ensures him that it’s important to understand every client on a deeper level before pairing them with a personal trainer. Mitch isn’t quite so sure he made the right decision when he meets his trainer: a petite, young, beautiful blonde named Samantha. Samantha doesn’t seem to be pushing Mitch into building big muscles. She has other plans in her head, but keeps ensuring him that he’s on the right track. He’s not so certain she knows what she’s doing, but he signed the contract and agreed to pay for a year of personal training.
