Want to Go Private?
Abby and Luke chat online. They've never met. But they are going to. Soon. Abby is starting high school--it should be exciting, so why doesn't she care? Everyone tells her to "make an effort," but why can't she just be herself? Abby quickly feels like she's losing a grip on her once-happy life. The only thing she cares about anymore is talking to Luke, a guy she met online, who understands. It feels dangerous and yet good to chat with Luke--he is her secret, and she's his. Then Luke asks her to meet him, and she does. But Luke isn't who he says he is. When Abby goes missing, everyone is left to put together the pieces. If they don't, they'll never see Abby again.

Heroes of the Seventh Crisis
The math is clear and simple. We have, at most, forty more years of living this self-serving lie before the combined forces of overpopulation and resource depletion expose Global Civilization for what it really is-an unsustainable mirage. We, the over-40, have timed it perfectly. The planet will run out of fresh, unpolluted water and nutrient-rich topsoil just as we are finishing our extended lives of abundance, greed, and gluttony. We have been waging a resource war against the generations behind us. And the good news is-we are winning! So far. But what if they learn the Truth? What if they find out that we have been stealing from them and deceiving them? What if Internet communication unifies them? And what if they live in a country where weapons are accessible and violence is glorified? History, too, is clear and simple. When conditions warrant, when the situation is sufficiently extreme, human beings are capable of-whatever it takes. They will not go quietly. Brace yourselves for the most deterministic generation since the Conquerors of World War II. The Heroes of the Seventh Crisis are coming. And they're pissed off.

Life After Why
This book is about overcoming obstacles. When a life disrupter strikes, it’s common to search for reasons and formulas to obtain control of the uncontrollable. The author is convinced that a satisfying life lies on the other side of asking why, a life at the intersection of sorrow and joy beyond the need to control outcomes. A recent cancer recurrence propelled Sheri Blackmon into surgical failures, setbacks, and a search for a way forward. Her disrupter evoked dormant childhood trauma that obscured and complicated the process of moving toward acceptance. This memoir is not only a cancer story but also a story of a girl torn between two continents as a missionary child whose mother is a Holocaust survivor. It explores universal themes of loss, abuse, control, dislocation, being an outsider, and finding one’s voice. It offers an honest Christian reflection on discovering one’s footing and purpose within a framework of five discernible steps toward acceptance. While presented in five steps, acceptance of what is lost is not a linear process with a beginning and an end, but a lifelong engagement of the heart.

Redemptive Dreams
An essential piece in California Studies, Redemptive Dreams: Engaging Kevin Starr’s California offers the first critical engagement with the vision of California’s most ambitious interpreter. While Starr’s multifaceted and polymathic vision of California offered a unique gaze—synthesizing central features, big themes, and incredible problems with the propitious golden dream—his eight-volume California Dream series, along with several other books and thousands of published articles and essays, often puzzled historians and other scholars. Historians in the contemporary school of critical historiography often found Starr’s narrative approach—seeking to tell the internal drama of t...
