The Silent Symphony
In Veritas City, silence is survival. Decades after the Resonance, a catastrophic wave of sonic energy, silenced the city, music became a ghost, a forbidden memory. The Council of Sonic Purity rose from the ashes, promising order by eradicating all sound, leaving only the sterile hum of machinery and the chilling whispers of enforced quiet. Elias Vance, a former acoustic engineer haunted by phantom frequencies, lives a double life. By day, he conforms. By night, he rebels, composing illicit melodies in hidden echo chambers, acts of defiance against the suffocating silence. But when his friend and fellow composer, Teresa, is found dead, her bones vibrating with a final, fatal composition, Eli...
Bad Girls
Bad Girls examines representational practices of film and television stories beginning with post-Vietnam cinema and ending with postfeminisms and contemporary public disputes over women in the military. The book explores a diverse range of popular media texts, from the Alien saga to Ally McBeal and Sex and the City, from The Net and VR5 to Sportsnight and G.I. Jane. The research is framed as a study of intergenerational tensions in portrayals of women and public institutions - in careers, governmental service, and interactions with technology. Using iconic texts and their contexts as a primary focus, this book offers a rhetorical and cultural history of the tensions between remembering and forgetting in representations of the American feminist movement between 1979 and 2005. Looking forward, the book sets an agenda for discussion of gender issues over the next twenty-five years and articulates with authority the manner in which «transgression» itself has become a site of struggle.
Relentless Seduction
Unrestrained. Unrelenting. And completely undressed When her best friend disappears during Mardi Gras, microbiologist Claire Brooks is determined to find her. Her only lead is a bar called Once Bitten--a haven for the dark, melancholy and vampire-obsessed. And while Claire generally prefers science nerds over the Gothy children of New Orleans, something about the bar's tall, dark and delish bartender makes her mouth water.... Bar owner Rafe Moreau is pretty sure that there's more to Claire than uptightness and frumpy clothes. And as they delve further into the dark, seedy underworld of the Big Easy, Claire and Rafe turn to each other, discovering a sizzling hunger that won't be satisfied. But will one taste be enough?
Lica
“In LICA, Hitesh Trehon traces the story of three generations of the Dev family – grandfather Mulkhraj Dev, son Raj Dev and grandson Inder Dev – with the focus on the latter two. The scope of the novel is ambitious and takes the reader on a worldwide journey into campus life, art, medicine, business and the interactions of the characters, exposing the schemes and betrayals of each profession and the fallout for Inder Dev. Trehon made his first attempt and the result is LICA, a fast-paced narrative that hooks you from the very first page.” - Saleem Peeradina, emeritus professor at Siena Heights University, Michigan, and author of six books of poetry, a memoir, essays, and an anthology...
Religion in New Spain
Religion in New Spain presents an overview of the history of colonial religious culture and encompasses aspects of religion in the many regions of New Spain. In reading these essays, it is clear the Spanish conquest was not the end-all of indigenous culture, that the Virgin of Guadalupe was a myth-in-the-making by locals as well as foreigners, that nuns and priests had real lives, and that the institutional colonial church, even post-Trent, was seldom if ever above or beyond political or economic influence. Susan Schroeder and Stafford Poole have divided the presentations into seven parts that represent general categories spanning the colonial era: "Encounters, Accommodation, and Outright Id...

Digital Contagions
Digital Contagions is the first book to offer a comprehensive and critical analysis of the culture and history of the computer virus phenomenon. The book maps the anomalies of network culture from the angles of security concerns, the biopolitics of digital systems, and the aspirations for artificial life in software. The genealogy of network culture is approached from the standpoint of accidents that are endemic to the digital media ecology. Viruses, worms, and other software objects are not, then, seen merely from the perspective of anti-virus research or practical security concerns, but as cultural and historical expressions that traverse a non-linear field from fiction to technical media, from net art to politics of software. Jussi Parikka mobilizes an extensive array of source materials and intertwines them with an inventive new materialist cultural analysis. Digital Contagions draws from the cultural theories of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Friedrich Kittler, and Paul Virilio, among others, and offers novel insights into historical media analysis.
Regional Economic Outlook, Western Hemisphere, October 2023
After a stronger-than-expected recovery from the pandemic and continued resilience in early 2023, economic growth in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is softening as the effect of tighter policies to combat inflation is taking hold and the external environment is weakening. The early and swift monetary tightening across the region since 2021, together with the withdrawal of most of the pandemic fiscal stimulus and the reversal of external price pressures, have helped put headline inflation on a downward trajectory. Core inflation has also started to ease, as price pressures are becoming less generalized, although it remains elevated amid strong labor markets and positive output gaps in some countries. Banking systems have weathered the rise in interest rates well and are generally healthy, though credit to the private sector is decelerating amid tighter supply conditions and weaker demand.
