A New Perspective Vol I
A collection of photography created and edited by Ryan Edwards
Interception
Captain Ron enlists his estranged, former Navy Seals son Jim to join him on a yacht's maiden voyage from China to America. The boat is headed toward Seattle carrying a hidden box in its keel. A hostile vessel with Chinese captain and crew shadows them to watch over the precious hidden cargo. What's inside the box? Just contraband or a weapon of mass destruction? How will Ron and Jim safely dispose of it? Only Jim's Interdiction team within the US Border Patrol has the tools to solve the mystery once they approach American waters. Who is the perpetrator of this devious plot? The Chinese mayor? The captain of the shadow ship? Do they have masters even more ruthless than they? Do they enlist unwilling collaborators by taking their children hostage? Jim and the captive he rescues from the shadow boat have an irresistible attraction to each other. Will they stay together or will she return to China once the ordeal is over? Does the six week voyage help Captain Ron succeed in regaining his son after a twenty year lapse in their relationship?

Verdi and Puccini Heroines
New in paperback! This book comes at a time when opera-lovers, singers, directors, and critics alike are taking a new look at the dramatic soprano heroines created by Giuseppe Verdi and Giacomo Puccini, endeavoring to delve beyond inherited scholarly interpretation and gain a richer understanding of these compelling female characters. Artistically limited by the bel canto musical tradition popular at the time, Verdi launched a new style dramma per musica which also demanded a new soprano archetype. This book illustrates the musical evolution of the Verdi and Puccini soprano while illuminating the dramatic scope and power of these great heroines. Avoiding critical reductionism, Verdi and Pucc...
A Carceral Ecology
Closer to Antarctica than to Buenos Aires, the port town of Ushuaia, Argentina is home to a national park as well as a museum that is housed in the world’s southernmost prison. Ushuaia’s radial panopticon operated as an experimental hybrid penal colony and penitentiary from 1902 to 1947, designed to revolutionize modern prisons globally. A Carceral Ecology offers the first comprehensive study of this notorious prison and its afterlife, documenting how the Patagonian frontier and timber economy became central to ideas about labor, rehabilitation, and resource management. Mining the records of penologists, naturalists, and inmates, Ryan C. Edwards shows how discipline was tied to forest management, but also how inmates gained situated geographical knowledge and reframed debates on the regeneration of the land and the self. Bringing a new imperative to global prison studies, Edwards asks us to rethink the role of the environment in carceral practices as well as the impact of incarceration on the natural world.
Convicts
A new global history perspective on the relationship between convict mobility and governance, nation building, imperial expansion, and knowledge formation.
Cryptids of the World
In our natural world we know of a myriad of species. From the largest pachyderm to the smallest arachnid. There are amazing animals out there that we know of, but what of the ones we don't. Throughout our world there are stories of beasts that boggle the mind and set our imaginations ablaze with fascination. In this book I chronicle a good amount of these peculiar and astonishing species. These cryptids vary from the famous Bigfoot of North America to the obscure artrellia of Papua New Guinea. In this volume I try to grant our information of these creatures and demonstrate my own conclusions and hypothesis on what these creatures might actually be. In this book I try to have logic and scienc...
My Life at the Mitch: A Little League Baseball Story
A true field of dreams, legendary Mitch Stadium is where Matthew Cisco spent a decade coaching the youth of Ceredo and Kenova, West Virginia about the game of baseball. Along the way, he's created lifelong friendships and coached some pretty colorful characters, while maintaining his family's traditions--all documented in "My Life at The Mitch: A Little League Baseball Story." "This is a tribute to my family," Cisco says. "I wanted them to be aware of what a special time in my life this was. I also wanted to pass a story along to others so they could enjoy the experiences I've had as well as the importance of family and community."
