Collision Course
Two guys in their mid-twenties, each unhappy with their careers in Washington D.C., make decisions that would offer them a brighter future. Both decisions backfired; sending each of these guys into conflict with a powerful man who heads a secret organization that trafficks terrorists into his homegrown terrorist cell. Finding themselves each fighting to stay alive as this man, intent on silencing them, sets them on a collision course which leads them, if they survived, to meet in Rome and destroy each other. But when Scott Dennis and Bentley Thornton met in a trattoria in Rome, new to Rome and to each other, everything changed. They became bonded in a powerfully intimate relationship where they decided that, together, they could escape this menace. They devised a plan to set a trap for their killer, using themselves as bait. This risky trial and error journey, accompanied by a dangerous assortment of bizarre characters, sent them into a future together neither would have expected.
The Viennese Revolution of 1848
Liberalism, in the nineteenth-century sense of the term, came to Austria much later than it came to western Europe, for it was not until the 1840s that the industrial revolution reached the Hapsburg Empire, bringing in its train miserable working conditions and economic upheaval, which created bitter resentment among the working classes and a longing for a Utopia that would cure the ills of mankind.

Servants of Culture
In nineteenth century Cisleithanian Austria, poor, working-class women underwent mass migrations from the countryside to urban centers for menial or unskilled labor jobs. Through legal provisions on women’s work in the Habsburg Empire, there was an increase in the policing and surveillance of what was previously a gender-neutral career, turning it into one dominated by thousands of female rural migrants. Servants of Culture provides an account of Habsburg servant law since the eighteenth century and uncovers the paternalistic and maternalistic assumptions and anxieties which turned the interest of socio-political players in improving poor living and working conditions into practices that created restrictive gender and class hierarchies. Through pioneering analysis of the agendas of medical experts, police, socialists, feminists, legal reformers, and even serial killers, this volume puts forth a neglected history of the state of domestic service discourse at the turn of the 19th century and how it shaped and continues to shape the surveillance of women.
