Storytelling
Politics is no longer the art of the possible, but of the fictive. Its aim is not to change the world as it exists, but to affect the way that it is perceived. In Storytelling Christian Salmon looks at the twenty-first century hijacking of creative imagination, anatomizing the timeless human desire for narrative form, and how this desire is abused by the marketing mechanisms that bolster politicians and their products: luxury brands trade on embellished histories, managers tell stories to motivate employees, soldiers in Iraq train on Hollywood-conceived computer games, and spin doctors construct political lives as if they were a folk epic. This "storytelling machine" is masterfully unveiled by Salmon, and is shown to be more effective and insidious as a means of oppression than anything dreamed up by Orwell.
Kate Moss
Years after her discovery at age fourteen at New York City’s John F. Kennedy Airport and her quick ascent to the top of the supermodeling world and choice luxury-brand figurehead, Kate Moss represents an unusual success story: that of a middle-class teenager who became one of the best-paid models in the world with no apparent effort. Hers is a story of endless reinvention: more than twenty years later, despite tabloid scandals, drug use, rehab, and tumultuous high-profile romances, Kate Moss appears before us as a fresh creation each time, an ideal subject able to adapt to any circumstance, recast herself ceaselessly through self-staging and self-narration, and make the world fall in love with her over and over again. In Kate Moss: The Making of an Icon, Christian Salmon’s insightful text, accompanied by more than sixty gorgeous images, explores this phenomenon—the story of an icon, a muse, a legend, an enigma—and how our culture has created the collective Kate Moss myth.
Salmon Swimmers
All followers of Jesus Christ are called to become people transformed by the Holy Spirit so we can live out God's heart for the world in terms of Christ's great commission. To do that often requires Christians to move against cultural sameness, familial expectations, secular norms, religious boundaries, and even personal emotional issues. Obedience to God in today's world requires the lifestyle of a Salmon Swimmer--a Christian equipped to overcome whatever obstacles keep them from fulfilling God's global agenda. Such commitment has intriguing parallels to the journey of Atlantic salmon in their effort to swim upstream to spawn the next generation of salmon.

Kate Moss Machine
Kate Moss la " brindille " personnifie les idéaux-types du néo-management des années 1990, promoteur dans les entreprises de la " mobilité " et de l'" adaptabilité ", figure d'un nouveau sujet, incertain, précaire, flexible et même " liquide ", qui incarne à la fois la fin d'un monde et l'aube d'une ère nouvelle. Après Storytelling, la machine à raconter des histoires et à formater les esprits, Christian Salmon poursuit ici son enquête sur le " nouvel ordre narratif " en interrogeant la figure énigmatique de Kate Moss, mannequin célèbre dans le monde entier et nouveau mythe " trash " à l'âge d'Internet... Avec le corps maigre et mobile de Kate Moss, c'est une nouvelle figur...
It Takes More than Love
Embrace the beauty and challenges of transracial adoption. Being an adoptive parent is hard enough. But when your family is multiracial, things get even trickier. Parenting transracially doesn’t come naturally, nor does it just happen with time. Love is essential—yet by itself, love isn’t enough. Cross-cultural parenting also takes intentionality, listening, learning, growing, repenting, changing . . . then starting all over and doing it again. It’s hard work! And yet, when an adoptive family honors the ethnic heritages of their children, the whole family—as well as the watching world—gets to see the beauty of a gloriously creative God. In It Takes More Than Love, Brittany Salmon...
