A magically eloquent story that will open hearts to the power of love and forgiveness.
Spiritual Sorrow
Dan Davidson is a horror novelist, who just signed a three-book, $30 million contract. But it wasn't his talent alone that got him the deal. It was JR, the demon spirit, which had been living dormant inside him for the past thirty-two years. Until now. JR seeks restitution for helping kill Dan's abusive father all those years ago. Now he wants Dan to write the ultimate horror novel, coupled with his rising popularity, that will coerce people into selling their souls to the Devil; a fresh start to a new and enticing world. But with Dan's life turning upside down, he finds it difficult to concentrate on the new novel. Though the less work he does, the more JR threatens to take full control of him. Adam, Dan's only child, recognizes the signs of demonic possession in his father and begs the help of Father Levin, who was almost killed in his first and only exorcism, twenty years prior. Reluctantly, he agrees to see Dan. And when priest and demon meet, a spiritual calamity breaks loose, shattering the serenity of a cabin by the lake and the small town nestled beside it.

A River and Its City
This engaging environmental history explores the rise, fall, and rebirth of one of the nation's most important urban public landscapes, and more significantly, the role public spaces play in shaping people's relationships with the natural world. Ari Kelman focuses on the battles fought over New Orleans's waterfront, examining the link between a river and its city and tracking the conflict between public and private control of the river. He describes the impact of floods, disease, and changing technologies on New Orleans's interactions with the Mississippi. Considering how the city grew distant—culturally and spatially—from the river, this book argues that urban areas provide a rich source for understanding people's connections with nature, and in turn, nature's impact on human history.

Chasing the American Dream
The United States has been epitomized as a land of opportunity, where hard work and skill can bring personal success and economic well-being.

But there is another, darker side to the bargain that America strikes with its people -- it is the price we pay for our individual pursuit of the American Dream. That price can be found in the economic hardship present in the lives of millions of Americans. In Chasing the American Dream, leading social scientists Mark Robert Rank, Thomas A. Hirschl, and Kirk A. Foster provide a new and innovative look into a cu...
Shaw and Other Matters
Demonstrating the influence of scholar-teacher Stanley Weintraub on his students, Shaw and Other Matters reflects the scope of that influence in its concern with a variety of literary figures - from Shaw to Joe Orton - and of topics such as war memoirs and golem/robots. The variety is there, as well, in the approaches to the subjects: Rodelle Weintraub's dream analysis of Arms and the Man; Julie Sparks's comparison of Shaw with Bellamy, Morris, and Bulwer-Lytton as world "betterers"; Michael Pharand's evaluation of Shaw's changing views of Napoleon; Kinley Roby's tracing of Shaw's exchanges of views on playwriting with Arnold Bennett; and Kay Li's archetypal exploration of characters in Heartbreak House.
