Love and Light
How My Cancer Banished Darkness for All Time Written in real-time on her iPhone, Love and Light tells the story of how one woman chose to face stage 3 colon cancer — from the initial diagnosis while waking from her first colonoscopy ... to the moment when she swallowed her final chemo pill with a tall drink o’ water and a chaser of Malibu Rum. The earliest draft was read by her mom, who dutifully passed each page to her dad. They read at different paces and she watched as her mom laughed, while her dad cried — and smothered a giggle when they looked at each other, befuddled and bemused, as the story ricocheted between moments that were heart-wrenching and heartwarming. Pay no mind to the occasional curse word as you navigate the truly personal, up-close, front-row, blow-by-blow, head-in-a-bucket details of her faith-filled journey — told through actual, real-life, uncensored and unedited texts to family and friends … to girlfriends and besties … to a husband and a Hoya … to one sister and two poker brothers … to cowboys and broncos … and a boy next door.
The Politics of Nordsploitation
The Politics of Nordsploitation takes a transnational approach to exploring Nordic 'exploitation' films in their industrial contexts, viewing them as not only political manifestations of domestic considerations but also to position Nordic film cultures in a global context. Incorporating a wide range of films, from international cult classics like They Call Her One Eye (1974), homegrown martial arts films like The Ninja Mission (1984) to contemporary crowd-sourced fan productions like Iron Sky (2012), this volume examines the remarkable diversity of genre-based, commercially and culturally exploitative film production throughout the Nordic countries – emphasized here through the term 'Nordsploitation'. This volume provides a historical exposition of largely ignored marginal films and film cultural patterns. It also outlines how influential these films have been in shaping the development of Nordic cinema. The effects are visible in the films of the new millennium as previously marginalized practices now enter the mainstream. With sharp insights and new research, The Politics of Nordsploitation redefines the concept of 'exploitation' and its role in small nation cinemas.

Scripps Institution of Oceanography
At the beginning of the 20th century, the term "oceanography" was merely a few decades old, and few investigations of the oceans, which cover nearly three-fourths of the planet's surface, had taken place. This is the story of an institution that catapulted the field into the forefront of science--first as a pioneer of marine biology, then as a source of wartime environmental intelligence, and most recently as a messenger warning of humanity's effect on nature and a source of solutions to the problem--Adapted from back cover
Romance Without Tears
A first-time collection of the best romance comics of the 1950s, these brightly illustrated, naturalistic tales (originally published by Archer St. John and written by unrecognised comics master Dana Dutch) are about high school girls who may be inexperienced, but definitely have minds of their own. They choose the guys, not the other way round, and it is they who deal with life's difficulties on their own, not some cardboard Romeo who comes to save the day. Many of the stories are illustrated by Matt Baker, who achieved fame in the 1950s with Phantom Lady.
