The Road to Hell
About the Book Lucy, Nina, and Tarquin Noble have lived their lives the only way they know how—in constant terror of an abusive and neglectful father who involves them in his schemes of evading the authorities. Their mother having left them out of the blue one day, the siblings learned to only depend on each other. But suddenly they find their world has been turned upside down when new evidence suggests their mother’s disappearance may not have been her own choice, thus leading her children to question everything they had ever been told. The Road to Hell is a psychological thriller about two sisters who, faced with a difficult situation, find very different ways of coping with it. How far can someone go to save their family, and how much can they sacrifice in order to protect their loved ones?

Narratives of Vulnerability in Mexico's War on Drugs
This book explores the current human rights crisis created by the War on Drugs in Mexico. It focuses on three vulnerable communities that have felt the impacts of this war firsthand: undocumented Central American migrants in transit to the United States, journalists who report on violence in highly dangerous regions, and the mourning relatives of victims of severe crimes, who take collective action by participating in human rights investigations and searching for their missing loved ones. Analyzing contemporary novels, journalistic chronicles, testimonial works, and documentaries, the book reveals the political potential of these communities’ vulnerability and victimization portrayed in these fictional and non-fictional representations. Violence against migrants, journalists, and activists reveals an array of human rights violations affecting the right to safe transit across borders, freedom of expression, the right to information, and the right to truth and justice.
Technospaces
Science and technology have had a profound effect on the way humans perceive space and time. In this book, an international team of authors explore themes of depth and surface, of real and conceptual space and of human/machine interaction. The collection is organized around the concept of Technospace--the temporal realm where technology meets human practice. In exploring this intersection the contributors initiate debate on a number of important conceptual questions: Is there a clear distinction between the real spaces of the body or the city, and the conceptual space of virtual reality?How are real and metaphorical spaces of electronic cultures quantified and regulated? Is there an ethics of technospace?Historically, the reception of new technologies has been invested with romantic idealism on the one hand and panic on the other. The authors argue that in order for utopian dreams to be tempered by ethical, humanistic needs, we have an urgent need to reveal, reflect upon and evaluate technospace and our relationship to it.
