Описание:
Crime narratives form a large and central part of the modern cultural landscape. This book explores the cognitive stylistic processing of prose and audiovisual fictional crime 'texts'. It also examines instances where such narratives find themselves, through popular demand, 'migrating' - meaning that they cross languages, media formats and/or cultures.
In doing so, Crime Fiction Migration proposes a move from a monomodal to a multimodal approach to the study of crime fiction. Examining original crime fiction works alongside their translations, adaptations and remakings proves instrumental in understanding how various semiotic modes interact with one another. The book analyses works such as We Need to Talk About Kevin, The Killing trilogy and the reimaginings of plays such as Shear Madness and films such as Funny Games.
Crime fiction is consistently popular and 'on the move' - witness the spate of detective series exported out of Scandinavia, or the ever popular exporting of these shows from the USA. This multimodal and semiotically-aware analysis of global crime narratives expands the discipline and is key reading for students of linguistics, criminology, literature and film.
Описание: With untested ideals and a thirst for adventure, Christiana Peterson and her family moved to an intentional Christian farming community in the rural Midwest. It sounded like a simple and faithful way to follow Jesus, not to mention a great place to raise kids. In Mystics and Misfits, Peterson discovers that community life is never really simple and that she needs resources beyond her own to weather the anxiety and exhaustion of trying to save a dying farm and a floundering congregation. She turns to Christian mystics like Francis of Assisi, Simone Weil, and Dorothy Day to find sustenance for the everyday struggles and unique hardships of community life. With a contemplative's spirit and poet's eye, Peterson leads readers into an encounter with the God of the wild mystics and the weird misfits.

Описание:
My parents, other perpetrators, and a priest almost caused me to give up and let the enemy win. Psychological, physical, and emotional damage can cause us to batten down our defense hatches and stay imprisoned behind walls of paralyzed emotions. These walls isolate and worse, block out what we all need...Divine Love. Looking back, I have discovered through my years of journaling, my life went from turmoil, violence, and shame to an awakening, positive path. I was a struggling soul who dug deep into ways to overcome the "stuff" that people, Satan, enemies, family and friends casted my way. God had to harness the darkness, tear away the evil as I climbed out of the abyss. The hourglass has been tipped over...Satan knows he has a short time... we must turn away from the darkness and muzzle the fire breathing dragon. Join me as I take you through 50 years of abuse, heresy, sacrilege, sexual harassment, near death, suicide and finally, the miraculous.

Описание:
Racing for the People is a light-hearted story about a serious time that captures the lives of Olympic runners and civil rights activists, Tommie Smith and John Carlos. They made history on October 16, 1968, by raising their fists for racial equality to a world audience.
Risking their lives, reputations, and Olympic medals, they took a stand for justice. But their activism didn't start there. Smith and Carlos had humble beginnings and though their outstanding athleticism as youths led them to the track, their tenacity and passion for social justice moved them to run for far more than personal accolades.
Smith and Carlos are part of a long history of Black activists. Though their names are not as widely publicized as Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Rosa Parks, their message is just as strong, and their stance for justice for all continues to serve as inspiration to the Black activist athletes of today.
Though mainly aimed at ages 6 to 12, Racing for the People, is relevant for all readers young and old, featuring strong Black figures who made a difference locally and globally. Readers will walk away inspired to stand for justice, just like the two Olympic heroes. It is an ideal book for school libraries, families, and children seeking to be anti-racist and advocate for social justice.

Описание: In this cautionary but optimistic book, Figueres and Rivett-Carnac--the architects of the 2015 Paris Climate Change Agreement--tackle arguably the most urgent and consequential challenge humankind has ever faced: the world's changing climate and the fate of humanity. In The Future We Choose, the authors outline two possible scenarios for the planet. In one, they describe what life on Earth will be like by 2050 if we fail to meet the Paris targets for carbon dioxide emission reduction. In the other, they describe what it will take to create and live in a carbon neutral, regenerative world. They argue for confronting the climate crisis head on, with determination and optimism. How we all of us address the climate crisis in the next thirty years will determine not only the world we will live in but also the world we will bequeath to our children and theirs. The Future We Choose presents our options and tells us, in no uncertain terms, what governments, corporations, and each of us can and must do to fend off disaster.
