Recent years have witnessed a significant growth of interest in the consequences of political violence and displacement for the young. However, when speaking of "children" commentators have often taken the situation of those in early and middle childhood as representative of all young people under eighteen years of age. As a consequence, the specific situation of adolescents negotiating the processes of transition towards social adulthood amidst conditions of violence and displacement is commonly overlooked. Years of Conflict provides a much-needed corrective. Drawing upon perspectives from anthropology, psychology, and media studies as well as the insights of those involved in programmatic ...

Inside an ordinary middle school in an ordinary city, a small redheaded eighth grader is doing something very ordinary, indeed. Ever since Charlotte Mielswetzski and her cousin, Zee, saved the world, life has been rather ordinary. Ordinary, that is, if you call being ultramegagrounded (in Charlotte's case) or treated as if you might fall to pieces (in Zee's case) ordinary. Either way, heroes deserve better. Of course, no one knows Charlotte and Zee are heroes. It's not like they can simply announce that Greek myths are real or proclaim they have returned from the Underworld, where they rescued all of mankind from Philonecron, a deranged demigod with delusions of grandeur. Instead, they are f...

My Dear Reader, Finding a good book these days can be hard. It’s not for lack of options. Quite the contrary. There are so many options, where do you even begin? What if you try a new-to-you author and you don’t care for the story, so you stop reading their work, only to find out years later that they have a different series you adore? That’s where the idea for Speed Dating came from. You get to try several books, all first in a series, and find the type of story you’re looking for. Here’s how it works: In this box set, you’ll find four different stories. They range from super spicy with some angst to fade-to-black romcom, with everything in between. Each has a blurb at the beginning and a spice level so you can decide if they sound interesting to you. If so, you’ve got the complete story in your hands. If not, you can move on to the next one. It’s that easy. And it’s that fun. So have a blast and find the series that’s right for you! Who knows, you may end up enjoying all of them! Happy Reading!

The candid, first-person accounts of their experiences, especially in illegal, immoral, and dangerous situations, reveal the horrors, perils, and joys of ethnographic research. The methodological, theoretical, and political implications of field work are also thoroughly discussed. Describing their deep involvement with such diverse groups as skinheads, phone sex workers, drug dealers, graffiti artists, and the homeless, many of the authors confess to their own episodes of illegal drug use, drunk driving, weapons violations, assault at gunpoint, obstruction of justice, and arrest while engaged in ethnographic studies. Although field research is seldom safe, convenient, or above professional criticism, this volume demonstrates that it is vital for providing a fuller understanding of deviant and criminal populations.
