Orange Butterfly
Amy seems to have the perfect life. She has a mother who dotes on her, a father whose love for her knows no bounds and the love of her charming childhood friend, Nicholas Layton. However, she has a sister, whose hatred for her is both latent and lethal. This hatred becomes a weapon which turns Amys world upside down to reveal it for what it is, a haven of lies and deceit. This leaves Amy in desperate need for answers, answers that usher in a season of darkness, pain and loss.

Mobilizing for Human Rights
Beth Simmons demonstrates through a combination of statistical analysis and case studies that the ratification of treaties generally leads to better human rights practices. She argues that international human rights law should get more practical and rhetorical support from the international community as a supplement to broader efforts to address conflict, development, and democratization.
Comics and the Senses
Attempts to define what comics are and explain how they work have not always been successful because they are premised upon the idea that comic strips, comic books and graphic novels are inherently and almost exclusively visual. This book challenges that premise, and asserts that comics is not just a visual medium. The book outlines the multisensory aspects of comics: the visual, audible, tactile, olfactory and gustatory elements of the medium. It rejects a synaesthetic approach (by which all the senses are engaged through visual stimuli) and instead argues for a truly multisensory model by which the direct stimulation of the reader’s physical senses can be understood. A wide range of examples demonstrates how multisensory communication systems work in both commercial and more experimental contexts. The book concludes with a case study that looks at the works of Alan Moore and indicates areas of interest that multisensory analysis can draw out, but which are overlooked by more conventional approaches.
