The Dragon King's Capture
A dragon king. A virgin sacrifice. Two hearts are forced together, but can they find love in the struggle? We stand in silence for what feels like an eternity, his arms boxing me in, preventing me from leaving. Finally, I feel his chin connect with the top of my head, bumping it slightly before resting gently. He’s so close, I can smell his scent—like burnt wood and wildflowers. When he speaks again, his voice buzzes through my entire body. “I believe I need you,” he says, his voice hardly more than a breath. My face explodes with heat. His hands grab the sides of my head, tilting it up. I feel his breath against my lips, heavy and warm. My own breath catches in my throat, and I feel my nerves shaking under my skin. The Dragon King's Capture is created by Tori Lear, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.
The Personal and the Professional in Aid Work
This book considers how the personal and the professional dimensions are related, and how they matter for aid work. The contributions to this edited volume are based on the assumption that all actors are relevant in development, including national and international aid workers. A key question which the book explores is why the personal so often remains un-acknowledged in development studies, even though its salience for aid workers is well-documented. One possible reason is an implicit narrative of aid work as altruistic and self-sacrificing, which renders it inappropriate to devote much attention to the experiences of development professionals themselves. In order to redress this, this book critically considers the kind of difference they make, and aims to understand how they respond to the challenges of their work. The book explores their efficacy as human beings and employees with individual subjectivities, social and cultural beliefs and practices, and documents how these shape their involvement in development processes. This book was published a sa special issue of Third World Quarterly.

Policing and Social Media
Policing and Social Media: Social Control in an Era of Digital Media investigates various public aspects of the management, use, and control of social media by police agencies in Canada. This book aims to illustrate the process by which information technology—namely, social media—and related changes in communication formats have affected the public face of policing and police work. Christopher J. Schneider argues that police use of social media has altered institutional public police practices in a manner that is consistent with the logic of social media platforms: policing is changing to include new ways of conditioning the public, cultivating self-promotion, and expanding social control. Every chapter in this second edition has been updated with contemporary examples and analysis. Each case study presented here focuses on a different social media platform or format while at the same time developing suitable analytical and methodological approaches for understanding contemporary policing practices on social media sites.
