Spectrality in Modernist Fiction
Spectrality in Modernist Fiction argues that key modernist writers, chiefly Conrad, Forster, Butts, and Bowen, use spectral rhetoric to tackle problems of sex and sexuality, revolution, imperialism, capitalism, and desire all through complicated ethical engagements. These engagements invariably come packaged in, and are shaped by, the language of spectrality. In its capacity to articulate a particular sort of relationship between the past, the present and the future, the spectral concerns the basic question of how to proceed, how to live with-maybe even address-ethical indeterminacy. Whether their spectral rhetoric traces the logics of capitalist possession (Conrad), queer "friendship" and paganized Christianity (Forster), regressive politics haunted by historical traumas (Butts), or the devious passages of perverse desire (Bowen), these writers locate something like hope in their ghosts. The ethical and political impasses they chart through their spectral rhetoric are not final, but temporary, and the drive to overcome them constitutes a tensile optimism.
Memoir From Hell
A child’s life should be idyllic: filled with friends, abundant joy, and carefree days of endless possibility. But that was not to be for Jake Malloy and his little sister, Dory. Their lives traversed paths upon which no child should tread. As a young adult trying to overcome the past, Jake chronicles the events that destroyed the possibilities and turned life for the Malloys into a living hell. Will Jake and Dory ever be able to lead normal lives? Only time will tell. A fictional memoir not for the faint of heart.
Conrad and Empire
Stephen Ross challenges the orthodoxy of the last 30 years of Conrad criticism by arguing that to focus on issues of race & imperialism in Conrad's work is to miss the more important engagement with developing globalization undertaken there.
A Life in Question
The story of my life becoming a philosopher. Learning to question. The story of my life as a philosopher. A life in question, as every life is in question before its end, in the face of wounding and death. But most of all, a life of questioning, joyously and affirmatively. In the fullness of being, the fullness of living ethically. Not a guide to life but perhaps a celebration of its promises.
The Visitor
The morning broke like every other in the small Midwestern town of Porterville: quiet and peaceful. It's a farming community where church basement potlucks and Sunday drives in the country are the main sources of entertainment. Nothing much ever happened there until the arrival of the visitor. Eighty-six year old resident Ima Plummer could not have imagined how her day would end when she awoke that fateful Wednesday. You won't want to stop reading. THE VISITOR is a 4927 word, around 20 pages, suspense-thriller short story.

Modern Financial Management
Corporate Finance, by Ross, Westerfield, and Jaffe is a popular textbook that emphasizes the modern fundamentals of the theory of finance, while providing contemporary examples to make the theory come to life. The authors aim to present corporate finance as the working of a small number of integrated and powerful intuitions, rather than a collection of unrelated topics. They develop the central concepts of modern finance: arbitrage, net present value, efficient markets, agency theory, options, and the trade-off between risk and return, and use them to explain corporate finance with a balance of theory and application. The well-respected author team is known for their clear, accessible presentation of material that makes this text an excellent teaching tool. Brad Jordan, known for his successful work on the RWJ Fundamentals and Essentials books, contributed to this edition. His influence will be seen particularly in the writing style with smoother coverage of topics, and the increased quality in the problem material.
