Описание:
Following the epic cliffhanger in volume one, The Golden Age Book 2 concludes this exciting, medieval graphic novel duology.
Tilda began her journey wanting to free her people from the iron fist of the ruling class--but she has lost her way. Obsessed with reclaiming her stolen throne, she forces her army to continue waging a futile war without pay or food. She has become what she hated: a heartless ruler. And the threat of rebellion begins to boil. To save Tilda from herself, Tankred forges a secret alliance with Hellier, the leader of the populous revolution. With their help, Tilda could win the war. But she'd have to give her power back to her people. Will Tilda realize the error of her ways and help her people be truly free? Or will the kingdom burn?

Описание: This is the first book-length study of the rhetoric of Cicero`s "On the Agrarian Law" I and II. Through a close and novel linguistic analysis, the book brings to light the ideology implicit in these speeches and presents a more complete picture of Cicero`s understanding of Roman politics and his own role within it at the beginning of his consular career.
Описание: Looking beyond Euro-Anglo-US centric zombie narratives, Decolonizing the Undead reconsiders representations and allegories constructed around this figure of the undead, probing its cultural and historical weight across different nations and its significance to postcolonial, decolonial, and neoliberal discourses. Taking stock of zombies as they appear in literature, film, and television from the Caribbean, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, India, Japan, and Iraq, this book explores how the undead reflect a plethora of experiences previously obscured by western preoccupations and anxieties. These include embodiment and dismemberment in Haitian revolutionary contexts; resistance and subversion to social realities in the Caribbean and Latin America; symbiosis of cultural, historical traditions with Western popular culture; the undead as feminist figures; as an allegory for migrant workers; as a critique to reconfigure socio-ecological relations between humans and nature; and as a means of voicing the plurality of stories from destroyed cities and war-zones.
Interspersed with contextual explorations of the zombie narrative in American culture (such as zombie walks and the television series The Santa Clarita Diet) contributors examine such writers as Lowell R. Torres, Diego Velazquez Betancourt, Hemendra Kumar Roy, and Manabendra Pal; works like China Mieville’s Covehithe, Reza Negarestani’s Cycolonopedia, Julio Ortega’s novel Adios, Ayacucho, Ahmed Saadawi’s Frankenstein in Baghdad; and films by Alejandro Brugues, Michael James Rowland, Steve McQueen, and many others. Far from just another zombie project, this is a vital study that teases out the important conversations among numerous cultures and nations embodied in this universally recognized figure of the undead.

Описание: Sandtray refers to psychotherapies that use sand, water, and miniatures. In this versatile and multisensory process clients create a three-dimensional "world" in a tray of sand. In doing so, a person can uncover and access the image or implicit thinking portion of his or her mind that lies out of the reach of everyday consciousness. In such a play encounter individuals can discover deeply held beliefs and/or resources. The right hemisphere of the brain is where implicit images reside and is the primary recorder of traumatic events. The stories in this book demonstrate that Sandtray provides a means to access this right-brain function for accomplishing successful trauma treatment. Theories of play-research pioneer Margaret Lowenfeld and concepts from the field of interpersonal neurobiology are illustrated by stories of real people--from three-year-old Jada to 83-year-old Mary. Instructive techniques are provided for both verbal and nonverbal therapeutic interventions. The author presents a framework of Sandtray "aspects" to view play and Sandtray session interactions. In this reader-friendly, story-driven book, the student or novice therapist will find information to initiate the use of Sandtray methods, while the experienced psychotherapist will be able to integrate and apply these techniques with ease. Sandtray: Playing to Heal, Recover, and Grow invites mental health professionals to read this book to improve the integration of physical, intellectual, and emotional experiences of their clients. The Sandtray approach promotes a more coherent sense of self and greater mindfulness in daily life.

Описание: When the city turns off her familys water, seventeen-year-old Emily begins to understand why her uncle Dwight thinks the government should keep its hands off peoples lives, property, and the things they have a right to--such as water. Set in Phoenix, Arizona, in the summer of 2010, Out Stealing Water tells the story of Emilys increasingly bold schemes to get enough money to leave Phoenix for good. She and her cousin, Paula, begin stealing. At first, its T-shirts and gym shorts from the university gym, but it soon escalates to stealing cell phones and IDs. When they accept an offer from the shady friend of her uncle Jay to steal suitcases from Sky Harbor Airport, they may have crossed a point of no return. Meanwhile, Dwight struggles to hang on to the familys ramshackle two-acre property located in the heart of a rapidly growing university town by accepting help from an armed antigovernment group. In the wake of a tragic shootout, Emily has to choose: Stay in the place she calls home? Or find a new life for herself?
