The Road to Armageddon
When Iran's deadly nuclear game is revealed, CIA agent Frank Williams realizes there is only one man made for the job of traveling to the other side of the world to neutralize this threat—his disgraced former partner, agent Jim Duffy. Williams travels to Duffy's quiet Maine hideaway and presents the facts of the case: The world's largest heroin dealers have carved a path straight to America's doorsteps and may possess six of the deadliest weapons known to man. Duffy doesn't want to yield to the Agency that rudely cast him aside. But a sense of duty and a love of country will not let him stand by, idle. Not since The Manchurian Candidate has the thriller so closely walked the line between fact and fiction, as readers try to ascertain if this is really happening? Are we on the brink of our planet's final conflict?

This report includes results for two nationally representative samples totaling 3,155 children ages 2-18 years, including over-samples of both Black & Hispanic children.

Room to Grow
Tracey Gold was well known to television audiences in the 1980s and ‘90s as the wholesome teenage sister on the long-running series Growing Pains. She co-starred for eight years alongside Kirk Cameron as brainy sister Carol Seaver in a picture-perfect American family. A working actress since the age of 4, she was a pretty and professional young star with a limitless future. But behind the smiles, Tracey was fighting the battle of her life. Photos of the shockingly thin Tracey faced readers from the cover of People magazine, revealing her struggle with an eating disorder that had plagued her for years. In this candid memoir, the actress recounts her offscreen troubles that viewers were unaware of at the time. Room to Grow is a moving account of a trip to hell and back. It is a journey of self-discovery and a chronicle of the very difficult lessons Tracey learned about coping in a society where emaciation is the ultimate ideal.

Digital Encounters
To understand the creative fabric of digital networks, scholars of literary and cultural studies must turn their attention to crowdsourced forms of production, discussion, and distribution. Digital Encounters explores the influence of an increasingly networked world on contemporary Latin American cultural production. Drawing on a spectrum of case studies, the contributors to this volume examine literature, art, and political activism as they dialogue with programming languages, social media platforms, online publishing, and geospatial metadata. Implicit within these connections are questions of power, privilege, and stratification. The book critically examines issues of inequitable access and data privacy, technology’s capacity to divide people from one another, and the digital space as a site of racialized and gendered violence. Through an expansive approach to the study of connectivity, Digital Encounters illustrates how new connections – between analog and digital, human and machine, print text and pixel – alter representations of self, Other, and world.
Morals Not Knowledge
"Academics have long claimed that the relationship between religion and science concerns knowledge of the physical world, and that conflict ensues because religion has one way of knowing and science another. For example, it is claimed that to find the age of the Earth religious people look to holy scripture and scientists look at the age of rocks. This book shows that this is indeed true among the elites who focus on this debate. However, contrary to the assumptions of elites and public discourse in general, that same relationship and conflict does not exist between religious citizens and science. This book shows that regular religious people in the U.S. are at most in conflict over a few fa...
Turkish German Muslims and Comedy Entertainment
Turkish German comedy culture and the lived realities of Turkish Muslims in Germany Comedy entertainment is a powerful arena for serious public engagement with questions of German national identity and Turkish German migration. The German majority society and its largest labour migrant community have been asking for decades what it means to be German and what it means for Turkish Germans, Muslims of the second and third generations, to call Germany their home. Benjamin Nickl examines through the social pragmatics of humour the dynamics that underpin these questions in the still-evolving popular culture space of German mainstream humour in the 21st century. The first book-length study on the topic to combine close readings of film, television, literary and online comedy, and transnational culture studies, Turkish German Muslims and Comedy Entertainment presents the argument that Turkish German humour has moved from margin to mainstream by intervening in cultural incompatibility and Islamophobia discourse. Ebook available in Open Access. This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).
