Description by Heather Barfield, Ph.D.: Vine, a moblie app acquired by Twitter for $30 million in 2012, was launched as a free iPhone app in January 2013, and then for Android six months later. Since its release, Vine seems to have influenced lives significantly through multilayered, complex, creative and incredibly humane interactions between creator and audience. Some people fall in love, get married, separated, recover and reinvent themselves in six seconds on Vine. Others share their intimate stories of anxiety, depression, self-harm, and mental illness in six seconds on Vine. Some document their chronic illness, film themselves in hospital beds, even chronical the poignant passing of a loved one while holding hands--in six seconds on Vine. For many, a six second segment on Vine becomes the first time that they have publicly expressed their problems, hopes, fears, and dreams.

In 2013, Twitter launched Vine, a looping six-second video app, originally meant to be Twitter in video form. At first, it seemed as though the six second limit would be too much of a hurdle to keep peoples’ interest, but it quickly became something of an underground phenomenon. Get to know some of the most talented people on Vine, read about how the app has changed their lives, for better or worse. Explore stories of inspiration, struggle, comedy, and romance. From some legitimately “Vine famous” people, to those with modest follower counts, this book explores their stories, and what they have to say.

"How does it feel to be expected to 'be a man'?" Seventeen first person chapters and dozens of shorter quotes from men and boys (ages 9 to 94) address this question. Hathaway Barry, who spent several years doing more than 80 interviews, selected these responses to give the reader the opportunity to listen closely and deeply to a range of perspectives. The stories she chose represent a wide spectrum of backgrounds and circumstances. Her motivation to do these interviews and then publish them is explained in the introduction: "As a woman living in a world primarily thought up by men, I wanted to know more about this male mind and see what I could learn about some of the confounding ways of relating I'd experienced with men. What's at the heart of it and what's my part in it?" "I've listened a lot in my life - working with kids, especially in the outdoors and, for many years, as a mediator. But I am not a social scientist or an anthropologist. I am not a journalist ... I just wanted to listen without blame or judgment to how it is for men, a whole half of the human species I knew less about. I wanted to hear their honest human stories, without gloss or performance." "I had a freedom as an interviewer. I was no one in particular in relation to these boys and men. Not wife or lover, colleague, boss or employee. I was just curious." This is a difficult book to categorize: Sociology, Psychology, Compassion Studies, Social History, Gender Studies, Live-With-Your-Man Handbook, Know Your Brothers Manifesto? Whatever you call it, it's recommended for schools, universities, coaches, family relationships, men's groups, women's groups, book clubs - basically anyone who cares about boys and men.
