Rise of Avalon
Arthur's imprisoned and unsanctioned augmented humans are on the verge of being outlawed and contained. It's been years since the capture of Arthur. Avallach and the Chevalier Corps have merged to become the Kin, a dominant augmented human force around the world. But the world is changing. The Augmented Human Weapons Convention has passed, which outlaws anyone who does not have a registered augmented human force--that is, anyone but the five UNSC powers. Leto, frustrated at the lack of progress in Arthur's trial, formulates a new plan. He knows of the Prophecy--and is taking steps to prevent it from happening. He creates an alliance between the American Centurions and the Russian Cosmos augments and hatches a plan to stop the Kin for good. Gal Brand is the Prophet. There's only one problem--she's lost her ability to see the future. Armed with only her mother's memories and her father's new power suit, she takes a team on a quest--a quest for the Grail to save her father and lead humanity through its next phase of evolution. Will she succeed or drive humanity backward into another Dark Age? Read the final installment in this modern day Arthurian tale today!

Manufractured
This work provides a model for creativity and a way of showing how innovation, invention, and beauty can emerge from even the most familiar, ordinary, and banal-seeming products. A wide variety of projects are presented in this book with insightful commentary on the trends and cultural phenomenon that inform the process.
Reception Histories
In his earlier Rhetorical Power, Steven Mailloux presented an innovative and challenging strategy for combining critical theory and cultural studies. That book has stimulated wide-ranging discussion and debate among diverse audiences—students and specialists in American studies, speech communications, rhetoric/composition, law, education, biblical studies, and especially literary theory and cultural criticism. Reception Histories marks a further development of Mailloux's influential critical project, as he demonstrates how rhetorical hermeneutics uses rhetoric to practice theory by doing history. Reception Histories works out in detail what rhetorical hermeneutics means in terms of poststr...
History, Theory, Text
In this work of sweeping erudition, one of our foremost historians of early Christianity considers a variety of theoretical critiques to examine the problems and opportunities posed by the ways in which history is written. Elizabeth Clark argues forcefully for a renewal of the study of premodern Western history through engagement with the kinds of critical methods that have transformed other humanities disciplines in recent decades. History, Theory, Text provides a user-friendly survey of crucial developments in nineteenth- and twentieth-century debates surrounding history, philosophy, and critical theory. Beginning with the "noble dream" of "history as it really was" in the works of Leopold...
The Social Self
American literary history of the nineteenth-century as a conflict between individualistic writers and a conformist society. In The Social Self, Joseph Alkana argues that such a dichotomy misrepresents the views of many authors. Sudden changes caused by the industrial revolution, urban development, increased immigration, and regional conflicts were threatening to fragment the community, and such writers as Nathaniel Hawthorne, William James, and William Dean Howells were deeply concerned about social cohesion. Alkana persuasively reintroduces Common Sense philosophy and Jamesian psychology as ways to understand how the nineteenth-century self/society dilemma developed. All three writers belie...
East European Cinemas
Eastern Europe has produced rich and varied film cultures--Czech, Hungarian, and Serbian among them-whose histories have been intimately tied to the transition from Soviet domination to the complexities of post-Communist life. This latest volume in the AFI Film Readers series presents a long-overdue reassessment of East European cinemas from theoretical, psychoanalytic, and gender perspectives, moving the subject beyond the traditional area studies approach to the region's films. This ambitious collection, situating Eastern Europe's many cinemas within global paradigms of film study, will be an essential work for all students of cinema and for anyone interested in the relation of film to culture and society.
British Fiction and Cross-Cultural Encounters
This book reveals that British modernists read widely in anthropology and ethnography, sometimes conducted their own 'fieldwork', and thematized the challenges of cultural encounters in their fiction, letters, and essays.
