Chicago and the Making of American Modernism
Chicago and the Making of American Modernism is the first full-length study of the vexed relationship between America's great modernist writers and the nation's “second city.” Michelle E. Moore explores the ways in which the defining writers of the era-Willa Cather, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner and F. Scott Fitzgerald-engaged with the city and reacted against the commercial styles of "Chicago realism" to pursue their own, European-influenced mode of modernist art. Drawing on local archives to illuminate the literary culture of early 20th-century Chicago, this book reveals an important new dimension to the rise of American modernism.

Journey Back to Earth
When the science gods desired to learn something new in creation, they agreed that time had to be created for them to know the unknown. They asked permission from the primordial gods, The Source of all life. They were granted permission to create time to do their work, under certain stipulations. First, they had to limit their work to one galaxy, and one star system in that galaxy. Second, they had to ask permission from the inhabitants. The decided to pick the Milky Way galaxy, and the helio system, to work with time. The Great Milky Way Council granted them permission, thinking the experiment to be nothing major in the dusty part of their galaxy. But as time went on, strange things began to happen, and the science gods realized that they were in over their heads. The story tells of the disagreement and prejudices that exist in the heavens between the gods, and the lord gods, the mundane existence of their people on earth, the sacrifices of the light workers sent to help them to ascend, and of love, family, and the dangers of knowing the unknown.

Rape in Art Cinema
Art cinema has always had an aura of the erotic, with the term being at times a euphemism for European films that were more explicit than their American counterparts. This focus on sexuality, whether buried or explicit, has meant a recurrence of the theme of rape, nearly as ubiquitous as in mainstream film. This anthology explores the representation of rape in art cinema. Its aim is to highlight the prevalence and multiple functions of rape in this prestigious mode of filmmaking as well as to question the meaning of its ubiquity and versatility. Rape in Art Cinema takes an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together recognized figures such as historian Joanna Burke, philosopher Ann J. Cahill, and film scholars Martin Barker, Tanya Horeck and Scott Mackenzie alongside emerging voices. It is international in scope, with contributors from Canada, the U.S. and Britain coming together to investigate the representation of rape in some of cinema's most cherished films.
