Captured by Aliens?
New Hampshire couple Betty and Barney Hill provided Americans with what is essentially the original alien abduction story. Since their story became public in the early 1960s, many thousands of Americans have likewise come forward with similar stories of traumatic experiences. Sometimes the abductee has little conscious recollection of these events, but through nightmares, dreams, flashbacks and hypnosis they eventually learn more. Sometimes the participants are bewildered. To get a better understanding of the opposing viewpoints of skeptic and believer, the Betty and Barney Hill case is used to examine the wider context of such encounters, their historical origins, media influences and the latest extraterrestrial, psychological, paranormal, conspiracy and sociological theories that surround them.

The New White Nationalism in Politics and Higher Education
The New White Nationalism in Politics and Higher Education analyzes a new form of white nationalism that seeks to recruit mainstream citizens to achieve its goals. This New White Nationalism sees higher education, which imparts fact-based knowledge and interrogates history, social structures, and power, often from antiracist and multicultural lenses, as a threat. Michael H. Gavin reveals the tactics of The New White Nationalism and provides a tool called The Nostalgia Spectrum to examine American racism. In the process, the author demonstrates that what many scholars are calling a crisis in higher education is really a crisis of political and social imagination. Reimagining a socially just nation and leveraging higher education institutions that provide low-cost, accessible education to minorities as the first choice for middle class America could have transformative effects on the nation itself.
Linked
First, the nightmare, then the telegram almost convinced Kevin McClure that his friend, Nick Campos, died in the helicopter crash. But Kevin's dreams and visions said the medic was still alive, in dreadful pain, and in danger. Unable to sleep or make anyone believe him, Kevin falls into a dangerous spiral of guilt, alcohol, and drugs until his cousin, Lou, comes to his aid. Together they find a way to search for the one left behind. Deep in the central highlands of South Viet Nam, by luck, fate, or divine intervention, Bac si Nick Campos survives, persevering against all odds, as he unknowingly haunts Sergeant McClure's dreams, meets Girl Who the Tigers Fear, and embarks upon the greatest and strangest adventure of his life. Book two of the Linked series, Bac Si, the Vietnamese word for doctor or medic, further explores the LINK--that collection of mental gifts unique to the McClures of Clearwater, Colorado--and the true meaning of friendship. The Linked series continues with Book Three: Angel, Book Four: Connections, Book Five: Family Secrets, and Book Six: Grayhorse, and--who knows?--maybe more.
A Light in the Tower
With evocative storytelling and incisive research, Katie Rose Guest Pryal brings a new eye to the mental health crisis that higher education has faced for decades. Written from the perspective of a bipolar-autistic professor, A Light in the Tower is both a bracing account of the mental health crisis in higher education and a passionate and informed proposal for how to teach with mental health in mind. Pryal contends that higher education’s mental health crisis is the result of long-term systemic problems in education that demand nothing short of a revolution. She examines the anxiety that plagues campuses as a result of exploited and overworked contingent faculty and students, the shock ev...
