A Reader in Themed and Immersive Spaces
"Themed spaces have, at their foundation, an overarching narrative, symbolic complex, or story that drives the overall context of their spaces. Theming, in some very unique ways, has expanded beyond previous stereotypes and oversimplifications of culture and place to now consider new and often controversial topics, themes, and storylines."--Publisher's website.
Legion of Lust
Young Roman soldier Titus is stationed in Britain just after Boadicea's rebellion, where he belongs to the mysterious and erotic Mithras cult. The sect's rites grow more and more extreme, until Titus realises that he may be required to betray his secret lover, the Celtic druid Coll, who is himself a follower of the Old Ways of the Britons. This historical military fantasy features gay romance, battlefields and secret cults alongside lots of raunchy sex, all in the untamed wilderness of ancient Britain. Praise for Scott's previous novel Hot on the Trail: "Bittersweet erotic fiction.""Mindcaviar.com" Lukas Scott has been a university lecturer, nun, theatre director, bookseller, television-and-film extra, counsellor and safer-sex worker.
Recent Developments in Criminological Theory
This volume contains recent and cutting-edge articles from leading criminological theorists. The book is organized into ten sections, each representing the latest in the multi-disciplinary orientations representing a cross-section of contemporary criminological theory. These sections include: 1: Classical and Rational Choice; 2: Biological and Biosocial; 3: Psychological; 4: Social Learning and Neutralization; 5: Social Control; 6: Social Ecology, Sub-cultural and Cultural; 7: Anomie and Strain; 8: Conflict and Radical; 9: Feminist and Gender; 10: Critical Criminologies: Anarchist, Postmodernist, Peacemaking. The articles were selected based on their contributions to advancing the field, including ways in which the authors of each chapter understand the current theoretical tendencies of their respective approaches and how they envision the future of their theories. Because of this, the articles focus on theory rather than empirical research. Of particular note is the tendency toward integration of different perspectives, as described by editors, Henry and Lukas, in their original introduction to this volume.
Reborn Hope
"I'm sorry, Luke. I'm sorry for many things, but everything that I am sorry for begins with my selfishness and for that, I cannot forgive myself. I guess, what it really comes down to is this...I refuse to kill him. I won't even fight him. No matter how angry I am at him for abandoning us, I still care about him. I have to let go of my hatred, it didn't work. I have to drop self pitying. Clearly that didn't work. I must rebuild and even though it hurts to remember, I refuse to quit now. I will continue. I will find him. For your sake, mine, and the rest of the human world's. Too much rests on this one man's shoulders."With the winter quickly settling in, Jaymie Winters finds herself stuck, n...
