Desire After Dark
Since the 1960s, the occult in film and television has responded to and reflected society's crises surrounding gender and sexuality. In Desire After Dark, Andrew J. Owens explores media where figures such as vampires and witches make use of their supernatural knowledge in order to queer what otherwise appears to be a normative world. Beginning with the global sexual revolutions of the '60s and moving decade by decade through "Euro-sleaze" cinema and theatrical hardcore pornography, the HIV/AIDS crisis, the popularity of New Age religions and witchcraft, and finally the increasingly explicit sexualization of American cable television, Owens contends that occult media has risen to prominence d...
The White Falcon
Many years ago, in a world very different from your own, a child of prophecy was born. Stolen from the safety of his mothers arms, the heir to the throne of Giervalk was taken to another world; the world of mankind. Just prior to Gabriels sixteenth birthday, Rayla, a witch from Giervalk, opens a portal between the two worlds. It is through her that Gabriel learns he is the key to ending a war that has plagued Giervalk for generations. But Gabriel is uncertain about this new responsibility. He wants to learn to drive a car; not fight a dark force that has invaded a world he has never seen. While Gabriel attempts to accept and blend his two identities, the darkness presses closer. He can no longer ignore his calling. Gabriel must protect the family and world that he loves. So together with a healer, witch, archer, warrior, and fairy, Gabriel travels to places he has only imagined in his wildest dreams and most feared nightmares.
The Future of Money
A cutting-edge look at how accelerating financial change, from the end of cash to the rise of cryptocurrencies, will transform economies for better and worse. We think weÕve seen financial innovation. We bank from laptops and buy coffee with the wave of a phone. But these are minor miracles compared with the dizzying experiments now underway around the globe, as businesses and governments alike embrace the possibilities of new financial technologies. As Eswar Prasad explains, the world of finance is at the threshold of major disruption that will affect corporations, bankers, states, and indeed all of us. The transformation of money will fundamentally rewrite how ordinary people live. Above ...

Dancing in Damascus
On March 17, 2011, many Syrians rose up against the authoritarian Asad regime that had ruled them with an iron fist for forty years. Initial successes were quickly quashed, and the revolution seemed to devolve into a civil war pitting the government against its citizens and extremist mercenaries. As of late 2015, almost 300,000 Syrians have been killed and over half of a total population of 23 million forced out of their homes. Nine million are internally displaced and over four million are wandering the world, many on foot or in leaky boats. Countless numbers have been disappeared. These shocking statistics and the unstoppable violence notwithstanding, the revolution goes on. The story of t...
Smart Woman's Guide to Bitcoin
Have you wondered what the big deal is in Bitcoin? Like you, I was too busy working and raising a family to figure out Bitcoin. It felt like the domain of digital cowboys, gamers, and boys with supercomputers in their basements. Yet as time went on and Bitcoin’s tremendous growth has made millionaires on the upside and bald men on the downside, I decided to look into it—mostly out of fear of missing out. If Bitcoin is truly the future of money and it lives up to its promise as a non-inflating currency, then I want to not only get in on the action, but to understand the mathematics, economics, and culture behind it. This book is for the busy woman who wants to discover Bitcoin and underst...
