Описание:
Tobe Hooper's productions, which often trespassed upon the safety of the family unit, cast a critical eye toward an America in crisis. Often dismissed by scholars and critics as a one-hit wonder thanks to his 1974 horror classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Hooper nevertheless was instrumental in the development of a robust and deeply political horror genre from the 1960s until his death in 2017. In American Twilight, the authors assert that the director was an auteur whose works featured complex monsters and disrupted America’s sacrosanct perceptions of prosperity and domestic security.
American Twilight focuses on the skepticism toward American institutions and media and the articulation of uncanny spaces so integral to Hooper’s vast array of feature and documentary films, made-for-television movies, television episodes, and music videos. From Egg Shells (1969) to Poltergeist (1982), Djinn (2013), and even Billy Idol’s music video for “Dancing with Myself” (1985), Tobe Hooper provided a singular directorial vision that investigated masculine anxiety and subverted the idea of American exceptionalism.

Описание:
The one-stoplight town of Daybreak, Ohio is still scarred from a horrific double-homicide and disappearance that happened three years earlier when journalist LOGAN JACKSON arrives from New York, looking to find a new topic to write about following an unexpected viral hit. Arriving in Daybreak to find a town deeply suspicious and seemingly hostile to all outsiders, Logan sets about trying to dig in to the Malone Murders, the tragic crime that still haunts the town, but finds resistance from all angles- law enforcement, the local press, and the population at large.
The only person seemingly interested in helping his budding investigation is VICTORIA GIBBONS, best friend of ELIZA, the teenage victim. After turning up on his first night in town to 'vet' him and his motivations behind wanting to write about the case, Victoria turns in to his biggest supporter, grateful that someone finally wants to shine a national spotlight on the case.
Despite initial resistance Logan's even-handed investigation and writing begins to thaw the icy relations with many in town, notably the Sheriff and local reporter ORSON WALCOTT, and his investigation begins to pick up steam as he zooms in on three possible suspects around town. Weathering threats and intimidation from the victim's ex-boyfriend, Logan begins to dig deeper in to the lives of the victims and their deep roots in the town. More and more people come forward, willing to speak about what they remember about the Malone's and the crime, but these interviews produce no real results.
Logan continues to dig but finds himself at a brick wall until he begins to receive mysterious emails which include copies of the victim's financial records, indicating there was something amiss. Verifying they are real with local law enforcement he begins to dig in to what turns out to be a dark underbelly of life in Daybreak, which causes him no small stress as signs begin to point toward BRADLEY GIBBONS, Victoria's father, as a possible culprit. This puts a severe damper on their budding relationship.
As Logan continues to dig Victoria comes to terms with her father's potential involvement and begins to assist him. After a guilt-wracked Orson confesses a startling secret about the local sheriff to Logan things look like they are finally coming together, when Logan is attacked out of the blue by the real murderer.

2021 Bram Stoker Awards(R) Nominee for Superior Achievement in Non-Fiction
From the short story «The Lottery» to the masterworks The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, Shirley Jackson’s popular, often bestselling works experimented with popular generic forms (melodrama, folktale, horror, the Gothic, and the Weird) to create a uniquely apocalyptic vision of America and its contradictions.
With a Foreword by award-winning Jackson biographer Ruth Franklin, this collection features comprehensive critical engagement with Jackson’s works, including those that have received less scholarly attention. Among these are the novels The Road Through the Wall, The Bird’s Nest, and Hangsaman, as well as Jackson’s historical study, The Witchcraft of Salem Village. Also included are essays on Jackson’s darkly humorous collections Life Among the Savages and Raising Demons, on Stephen King’s «literary friendship» with Jackson, on the little-known film adaptations Lizzie (1957) and Hossz? Alkony (Long Twilight) (1997), and the first-ever extended analysis devoted to Jackson’s unpublished satirical cartoon sketches.
The collection’s five sections focus on Jackson’s style, key themes, and influence; her politics and poetics of space; her treatment of the «monstrous» mother and monstrousness of motherhood; her representations of outsiders and minorities; and moving-image adaptations of her work.

Описание: If your calling is to be a financial advisor, this must-read guide is the book for you. Part compelling autobiography and part groundbreaking guide, Servant Advisorship: The New Approach for Advisors Who Want to Grow, Serve, and Live with Excellence outlines the seven core tenets of author Kristopher Bonocore's simple yet revolutionary philosophy of being a Servant Advisor.

Being a Servant Advisor isn't for everyone. But if you want to rise above a field crowded with sub-par advisors who put themselves before their clients - if you want to become a world-class advisor by serving your clients, always - then make these seven tenets of Servant Advisorship your own.

Описание: In Jean Baudrillard and Radical Education Theory: Turning Right to Go Left, the authors argue that Baudrillard has been underappreciated in philosophical and theoretical work in education. They introduce him here as an important figure in radical thought who has something to add to theoretical lines of inquiry in education.
The book does not offer an introduction to Baudrillard. Rather, his corpus is mined in order to describe how it functions as a counter to the code of education, rational thought, critical reason, etc. In effect, they establish that Baudrillard advocates for a counter-path to thinking that can shake us out of our ready-made thoughts and realize the radical potential for change.
