At Fault
It started with a sharp and sudden bang, a wrenching explosion of over-stressed metal abruptly and catastrophically ripping itself apart . . . a sickening sound that haunts every pilot's most fevered nightmares. Flight 181 was just lifting off from Miami International Airport, fully-loaded and en route for Chicago, when a critical engine failure sent the crippled airliner plunging nose first into one of Miami's newest and most popular high rise resort hotels. Within seconds, aircraft and hotel were transformed into a single, forty-five story pillar of flame, before the blazing hulk slowly shuddered and toppled to its side, taking the lives of more than two hundred passengers and crew, along ...
Under the Overtree
Featuring a new introduction by Bram Stoker award-winning author Christopher Golden and cover art by Dan Brereton. Can you hear it? The whispered laughter carried by the wind? Can you see Them? The faint shadowy forms that move through the woods near Lake Overtree. The ones whose very presence is silencing the wild life? Can you feel the changes in the air? The changes taking place in one young man whose entire world is shifting, changing to accommodate his desires. The girl of his dreams is his for the taking, the kids who bullied him are going away one by one, and even his worst enemies are seeing him in a different light. His body, once soft and flabby, has grown strong and lean, something he never expected would happen. His stepfather, Joe, has finally stopped looking at him like garbage and started treating him like a real son. Every hope, every wish that Mark Howell has known in his lonely life is coming true. Can you hear it? The mournful wails of families torn apart by the loss of their loved ones? The faint screams of the damned, of those foolish enough to cross his path? Listen carefully. It's happening. Mark's world is changing, regardless of the cost. It's happening.

Reading Violence and Trauma in Asia and the World
This collection casts the spotlight on Asia and its place in global studies on trauma to explore the ways in which violence and trauma are (re)enacted, (re)presented, (re)imagined, reconciled, and consumed through various mediums in the region. The discussions revolve around the ethics of representing and discussing trauma as we negotiate the tensions between trauma and political, historical, literary, and cultural representations in written, visual, digital, and hybrid forms. It examines how perspectives about trauma are framed, perpetuated, and/or critiqued via theories and research methods, and how a constructive tension between theory, method, and experience is essential for critical discourse on the subject. It will discuss varied ways of understanding violence through multidisciplinary perspectives and comparative literature, explore the "violent psyches" of narratives and writings across different mediums and platforms, and engage with how violence and trauma continue to influence the telling and form of such narratives.

From Despotism to Democracy
This book is about how best to respond to existential global threats posed by war and global heating. The stakes have become existential. A strong claim in the book is that we need a world state to save humanity. The book sheds new light on why this is so. The present author has long advocated global democracy. A strong argument against global democracy has been, however, that no state has ever been established without the resort to violence. In this book, the author bites the bullet and advocates a route to global democracy that passes through a phase where a global state is established in the form of global despotism. First despotism, then democracy! But, as the author insists and the read...

California, Here I Am
California, here I am is a funny and shrewd Hollywood novel that takes us into the movie making scene: its hype, its glamour and its ruthlessness. At the same time, it chronicles a son's relationship with his father, as they wreak their own route through Beverley Hills, Santa Barbara, Sun Valley and eventually end up at a strange Caribbean island.
