A Battle at the Fingertips
Everywhere we turn, the Internet is there. We access it through all kinds of devices, including some small enough to fit in our ears or wear on our wrists. And what does it serve up to us? Information. But most of that is not neutral. Good and evil, right and wrong, truth and deception, knowledge and ignorance—all of it is available to us on the internet. It is just a keystroke, a swipe, a bing away. In his book A Battle at the Fingertips, James Byerley tells a fascinating, frightening, and all-too-human tale of the dark and light sides of the internet world. Enter the archives Byerley has created. Discover the battle brewing there—a battle sometimes more true-to-life than many see or wo...
The Last Lincolns
Most books about Abraham Lincoln end on April 14, 1865, the day he was assassinated at Ford’s Theatre. But that historic event takes place near the beginning of The Last Lincolns, a singular title in the vast output of Lincolnia and one of the most unusual books ever written on the sixteenth president and his family. Going far beyond that fateful day into uncharted territory, it’s a gripping page turner written by a TV producer with proven storytelling skills. This absorbing American tragedy tells the largely unknown story of the acrimony that consumed the Lincolns in the months and years that followed the president’s murder. This was not a family that came together in mourning and mut...

The Image of Disability
A mainstay of modern life, the global media gives out information about disabilities that is often inaccurate or negative and perpetuates oppressive stigmas and discrimination. In response to representations that have been incomplete, misguided or unimaginative, this collection of new essays encourages scholars and allies to refashion media so as to disrupt the status quo and move toward more liberatory politics. Images in film, television and social media are assessed through the lenses of disabilities studies, media studies, cultural studies and intersectional studies involving critical race theory and gender.
Gittin' Through
Gittin'Through sets this turning point in American history in a small southern town where traditions, class and race defined its citizens and the roles they played. It shows how the three generations coped with the conflict while they made a living, reared their families, took care of the elderly, fell in love, lost loved ones, struggled to hold a marriage together, and choose right and wrong ways to profit from the war. Like all generations, they carried the burdens of the past into their own times in order to prepare for the future.
