Dancing in the Street
Detroit in the 1960s was a city with a pulse: people were marching in step with Martin Luther King, Jr., dancing in the street with Martha and the Vandellas, and facing off with city police. Through it all, Motown provided the beat. This book tells the story of Motown--as both musical style and entrepreneurial phenomenon--and of its intrinsic relationship to the politics and culture of Motor Town, USA.

Locating Nordic Noir
This book is a comprehensive study of Nordic Noir television drama from the 1990’s until today. The authors introduce the history of contemporary Nordic Noir from the perspective of place, production and location studies. The chapters include readings of well-known television crime dramas such as Beck, The Killing, Trapped and The Bridge as well as a range of other important Nordic Noir cases. The authors position the development of Nordic Noir in the global market for popular television drama and place the international attention towards Nordic crime dramas within regional development of drama production in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland. Consequently, Nordic Noir is read as both a transnational financial and creative phenomenon and as a local possibility for community building. Offering a comprehensible, scholarly and methodologically original approach to the popularity of Nordic television crime dramas, this volume is aimed at readers with an interest in crime drama as well as scholars and students of television drama.
Bold Bounty
Welsh noblewoman Morwen Angmire awaits the arrival of her betrothed, the Marquis Delmore Le Chevreaux of France. But before the Marquis can arrive to claim her, the Northmen raid her father’s keep and take her and several other women away to the harsh, cold north, where Morwen is claimed by Bjorn Halden, the devilish but handsome son of the village chieftain. As winter comes and sailing is treacherous, Morwen must learn to live as a Viking, while to the south some dark horror has arrived in Wales with the French nobleman. Livestock and peasants are found ravaged by what seems to be a large wolf, and the people live in fear. When the monstrous Marquis comes to claim the woman he was promised, he must battle the valiant Viking. Who will win the heart of the bold bounty?
