In the Wilderness
In the Wilderness is an intimate look into the rich inner life of an odd-man-out comics creator. In a series of wryly funny autobiographical vignettes, Casanova Frankenstein endures schoolyard bullies, fumbles through ill-fated romances, and grapples with the anxieties of being a black weirdo.
Mathematics in Popular Culture
Mathematics has maintained a surprising presence in popular media for over a century. In recent years, the movies Good Will Hunting, A Beautiful Mind, and Stand and Deliver, the stage plays Breaking the Code and Proof, the novella Flatland and the hugely successful television crime series NUMB3RS all weave mathematics prominently into their storylines. Less obvious but pivotal references to the subject appear in the blockbuster TV show Lost, the cult movie The Princess Bride, and even Tolstoy's War and Peace. In this collection of new essays, contributors consider the role of math in everything from films, baseball, crossword puzzles, fantasy role-playing games, and television shows to science fiction tales, award-winning plays and classic works of literature. Revealing the broad range of intersections between mathematics and mainstream culture, this collection demonstrates that even "mass entertainment" can have a hidden depth.
The Superpowers and the Glory
Christians love superhero movies, just like everybody else. But should they? How do the themes in the world's most popular movies relate to Christ's teachings? How do believers reconcile superhero violence with Jesus's message of peace? How does the Sermon on the Mount relate to superhero power fantasies? The Superpowers and the Glory helps readers answer those questions by teaching them how to identify the themes in superhero movies and examine them through Christian theology. With deep dives into nearly every superhero movie ever released, the book trains readers in understanding the worldviews behind movies such as Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Wonder Woman. Each chapter includes discussion questions, perfect for small groups, Sunday school classes, or personal inquiry. From Marvel hits like Black Panther and The Avengers to DC blockbusters Batman and Justice League to indie characters Hellboy and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Superpowers and the Glory is an easy-to-read guide to using superhero movies to strengthen your relationship with Christ.

The Heretic's Guide to Best Practices
When it comes to solving complex problems, we often perform elaborate rituals in the guise of best practices that promise a world of order, certainty, and control. But reality paints a far different picture, which practitioners are often reluctant to discuss. A witty yet rigorous journey through the seedy underbelly of organisational problem solving, The Heretic’s Guide to Best Practices pinpoints the reasons why best practices don’t work as advertised and what can be done about it. “Hugely enjoyable, deeply reflective, and intensely practical. This book is about weaving human artistry and improvisation, with appropriate methods and technologies, in order to pool collective intelligence and wisdom under pressure.” —Simon Buckingham Shum, Knowledge Media Institute, The Open University, UK “This is a terrific piece of work: important, insightful, and very entertaining. Culmsee and Awati have produced a refreshing take on the problems that plague organisations... If you’re trying to deal with wicked problems in your organisation, then drop everything and read this book.” —Tim Van Gelder, Principal Consultant, Austhink Consulting
