The Letting Go
Everyone Emily has ever loved has been brutally murdered. The killer has never been caught, but Emily knows who’s responsible. She is. It’s the only possible explanation. Emily is the one thing all the victims have in common, which can only mean that someone—or something—is killing them to make her suffer. Determined never to subject another person to the same horrible fate as her parents, friends, and pets, Emily sequesters herself at a private boarding school, keeping her classmates at a distance with well-timed insults and an unapproachable air. Day after day, she loses herself in the writing of Emily Dickinson—the poet makes a perfect friend, since she’s already dead. Emily’s life is lonely, but it’s finally peaceful. That is, until two things happen. A corpse appears on the steps of the school. And a new girl insists on getting close to Emily—unknowingly setting herself up to become the killer’s next victim.
The Words Between the Spaces
Using language - speaking and understanding it - is a defining ability of human beings, woven into all human activity. It is therefore inevitable that it should be deeply implicated in the design, production and use of buildings. Building legislation, design guides, competition and other briefs, architectural criticism, teaching and scholarly material, and the media all produce their characteristic texts. The authors use texts about such projects as Berlin's new Reichstag, Scotland's new Parliament, and the Auschwitz concentration camp museum to clarify the interaction between texts, design, critical debate and response.

"I know there is someone else in this fire with me."~Markus, age 20Born medically complex and fragile. Feeling perfectly fine one day andthen, BAM, serious complications strike. Hostile invaders threaten.Discouragement lurks in the shadows-and once again, a war is wagedwithin Markus's own body.Intense health struggles have dominated Markus's life of twentyyears-and thus his family's as well. Together they tell their story.I have heard two statements over and over, and most days, I do nothave a clear-cut, decisive answer. "Call if you need anything," usuallyleaves me completely tongue-tied. "How can I help?" makes my mindfeel like it is immediately an empty, blank void. It is both humbling andwonderful when others want to help. We need help, lots of help, morethan I will ever admit.~Deb Bachman, Mom"This is a story that nobody asks to be in, but it's a story of strengthand faith against incredible odds, and it's full of heroes."~Larry Bond, Author

The Sitcom Reader, Second Edition
Updated version of an engaging overview of the television situation comedy. This updated and expanded anthology offers an engaging overview of one of the oldest and most ubiquitous forms of television programming: the sitcom. Through an analysis of formulaic conventions, the contributors address critical identities such as race, gender, and sexuality, and overarching structures such as class and family. Organized by decade, chapters explore postwar domestic ideology and working-class masculinity in the 1950s, the competing messages of power and subordination in 1960s magicoms, liberated women and gender in 1970s workplace comedies and 1980s domestic comedies, liberal feminism in the 1990s, heteronormative narrative strategies in the 2000s, and unmasking myths of gender in the 2010s. From I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners to Roseanne, Cybill, and Will & Grace to Transparent and many others in between, The Sitcom Reader provides a comprehensive examination of this popular genre that will help readers think about the shows and themselves in new contexts.
