Deeply researched, laced with insight from decades of fandom and original reporting, this book is an exhaustive and unique look at the writing, recording and significance of Springsteen's singular catalog of songs. Each album is discussed and then each song is examined in terms of lyrical meaning, placing in historical context where necessary or relevant. It's the first book to cover every officially released track, from hits to obscurities, from 1974's Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. to 2014's High Hopes.
Brian Bruce
At the time of Brian Bruce's appointment as CEO of construction, mining, engineering and manufacturing giant Murray & Roberts, the share price had slumped 96% to 300 cents on the JSE limited.

This book looks at how Bruce managed to turn Murray & Roberts into a viable operation once more.
Life under Pressure
A rare study that transforms our understanding of why youth die by suicide, why youth suicide clusters happen, and how to stop them Youth suicide clusters have deeply unsettled communities in recent years.

Recovering the Radical Promise of Superheroes
Superhero meaning making is a site of struggle. Superheroes (are thought to) trouble borders and normative ways of seeing and being in the world. Superhero narratives (are thought to) represent, and thereby inspire, alternative visions of the real world. The superhero genre is (thought to be) a repository for radical or progressive ideas. In the superhero world and beyond, much is made of the genre's utopian and dystopian landscapes, queer identity-play, and transforming bodies, but might it not be the case that the genre's overblown normative framing, or representation, serves to muzzle, rather than express, its protagonists' radical promise? Why, when set against otherwise unbounded, and o...
One Billion Seconds Behind The Wall
One Billion Seconds Behind the Wall: Pariah is the true story of a man who virtually wasted the first billion seconds of his life on reaching outward for things that were not important. This includes his first two years in prison. Then, he was inspired to change and spend the next billion seconds improving himself and being grateful for what he had. He read over four thousand books, especially The Bible; he trained his body and achieved strength, health, and peace; he reached inside himself and improved a little more each day. This story will hopefully inspire the reader to make their own decision to be happy every day, learn from the author’s mistakes and make a brighter future for themselves.

He prays for another billion seconds to enjoy his life outside of prison, finally free in mind, body, and spirit.

War Isn't the Only Hell
A vigorous reappraisal of American literature inspired by the First World War. American World War I literature has long been interpreted as an alienated outcry against modern warfare and government propaganda. This prevailing reading ignores the US army’s unprecedented attempt during World War I to assign men—except, notoriously, African Americans—to positions and ranks based on merit. And it misses the fact that the culture granted masculinity only to combatants, while the noncombatant majority of doughboys experienced a different alienation: that of shame. Drawing on military archives, current research by social-military historians, and his own readings of thirteen major writers, Kei...
