Drawing inspiration from sources as varied as Lewis Carroll, Salvador Dalí, Washington Irving, and Dr. Seuss, Burton's creations frequently elicit both alarm and wonder. Whether crafting an offbeat animated feature, a box-office hit, a collection of short fiction, or an art exhibition, Burton pushes the envelope, and he has emerged as a powerful force in contemporary popular culture.

Farley looks at the history and folklore that makes these ships enduring symbols of national power—and sometimes national futility.

The Death Knot

Eleanor Armitage has isolated herself in the small town where she's chosen to live. Her job selecting fabrics for a designer makes it possible for her to work and travel without much personal contact with others. She's not unhappy; she's just, by desire, totally disengaged from what we would consider “ normal” life. But when Eleanor witnesses a particularly ugly crime, that event pulls at her and, as she follows various aspects of what she has seen, she's released from her self-imposed prison and welcomes friendship and even romance.

The Politics of Social Welfare in America

The Politics of Social Welfare in America

The Politics of Social Welfare in America examines how politicians, theorists and citizens discuss need, welfare and disability with respect to theoretical and political projects. Glenn David Mackin argues that participants in these discussions often miss the way their perceptions of those in need shape their discourse. Professor Mackin also explores disability rights groups and welfare rights activism in the 1960s and 1970s to examine the ways that those designated as needy or incompetent often challenge these designations, thus making the issue of welfare an ongoing conflict over who counts as competent and generating new ways of understanding democracy and equality.
