Pioneer Performances
From 1829 to 1881, playgoers throughout the nation applauded frontier dramas that celebrated conventional American values like rugged individualism and the ideology of Manifest Destiny. Yet, as Pioneer Performances shows, a more subversive cultural agenda often worked within the orthodox framework of this popular drama. Drawing on a range of plays and public entertainments, Matthew Rebhorn uncovers the heterodox themes in the nineteenth-century stage, ultimately revealing the frontier as a set of complex performative practices imbued with a sense of trenchant social critique. The dramatis personae of Rebhorn's study includes Buffalo Bill Cody; Gowongo Mohawk, a cross-dressing Native American...

The Case of Kindall, K.
When seventeen-year-old Kyle Kindall is imprisoned despite pleading not guilty, the judge – suspecting Kyle may have been poorly represented at the trial – assigns a trusted friend to find more evidence that may support Kyle's story. But Yuuki Takahashi is already dealing with a lot of stress in his life when Timothy, the judge, approaches him. After an incident a year ago rendered him with PTSD, he’s at war with himself as to whether or not he should take on Kindall’s case. However, it’s not just his health at stake here; it’s Kyle freedom as well. Why would anyone still insist they aren’t guilty even when everyone and everything else suggests otherwise? Yuuki can’t help but feel that something isn’t right and he’s determined to find out why. --- Genre: Mystery/thriller, action & adventure Themes: Hurt comfort, trauma, PTSD, found family Other formats available: ISBN (paperback): 9780473478766 ISBN (Kindle): 9780473478773

THE WINDS OF CHANGE
He took out his pistol from its holster and without warning shot Sean twice in the stomach. Sean could feel his life draining out of him. Zamatev walked towards Sean. He took another drink from the bottle. When it was empty, he threw it into the dense bush. ‘This one is for blowing up my base Sergeant,’ he said and shot Sean again. Sean didn’t feel the bullet; his whole body was so numb that it didn’t signal any pain in his brain. ‘You see Sergeant, I know that it was you and your pig brother who was responsible for demolishing my base, only now I’m the one who is doing the demolishing.’ Zamatev got so carried away that he kept on squeezing the trigger. Mercifully Sean was dead before the clip was empty.

Four Generations of Stone
Four Generations of Stone is a fictional story about a family of strong men and women who began with one man coming to America in 1850 from England. He is compelled to follow his dream of becoming a mountain man in the American Rocky Mountains. Without the help of the First Nation Americans, the Stone family would have had a more difficult journey through all four generations of this saga. He prospered as a trapper and expanded, eventually raising cattle in what was to become Montana. The family grew and developed a vast cattle ranch as well as a thriving big game hunting business. Their adventure weaves through the expansion of America, the War Between the States, the Great War in Europe, and World War II. The fourth-generation patriarch, Dale Stone, continues to operate two family businesses and meets a difficult challenge protecting two of his big game hunting clients from being kidnapped by foreign agents.
We Are Not Users
A call to reclaim and rethink the field of designing as a liberal art where diverse voices come together to shape the material world. We live in a material world of designed artifacts, both digital and analog. We think of ourselves as users; the platforms, devices, or objects provide a service that we can use. But is this really the case? We Are Not Users argues that people cannot be reduced to the entity called “user”; we are not homogenous but diverse. That buzz of dissonance that we hear reflects the difficulty of condensing our diversity into “one size fits all.” This book proposes that a new understanding of design could resolve that dissonance, and issues a call to reclaim and ...
