Book Description
An anti-science-fiction thriller novel from the author of the HATER and AUTUMN books. A world brought up on dystopian stories of alien invasions and wars with other planets is asked to open its arms to 300 aliens who are stranded here in their crippled mining ship. The eyes of the entire world are focused on the village of Thatcham: the site of our first contact with an alien species. Their arrival affects everyone. Barriers are broken down, perspectives are altered, and the life of every single person on the planet is changed forever as science fiction becomes science fact. But not everyone is convinced. Some people are more cautious. Tom Winter thinks he must be paranoid, because he knows that if he's right about the aliens, more than seven billion other people are wrong. PRAISE FOR DAVID MOODY AND TRUST: “A head-spinning thrill ride, a cautionary tale about the most salient emotion of the 21st century… HATER will haunt you long after you read the last page…” —GUILLERMO DEL TORO (director of PAN’S LABYRINTH, THE SHAPE OF WATER) on HATER “In his evocation of fear and unease and the speed with which he grips you, he brings to mind old Brit horror writer James Herbert. And that is some recommendation.” —LONDON LITE “TRUST is a slow-burner and all the richer for it. The layers of characters and details of the story play out perfectly when matched with an ending you're not likely to forget. It's an outstanding novel, delivers in more ways than one, and is worthy of a place on the discerning fan's bookshelf. 10/10” —STARBURST MAGAZINE “TRUST is the latest in a long line of thought provoking, intelligent novels.... For new readers this is an ideal starting point to discover this major British talent who despite his innovations and successes of the last decade, you get the feeling is only just getting started.” —SHADOWLOCKED “Moody is as imaginative as Barker, as compulsory as King, and as addictive as Palahniuk.” —SCREAM THE HORROR MAGAZINE

Popular Music and Human Rights
Author: Ian Peddie
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 1409494519
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 832
Book Description
Popular music has long understood that human rights, if attainable at all, involve a struggle without end. The right to imagine an individual will, the right to some form of self-determination and the right to self-legislation have long been at the forefront of popular music's approach to human rights. At a time of such uncertainty and confusion, with human rights currently being violated all over the world, a new and sustained examination of cultural responses to such issues is warranted. In this respect music, which is always produced in a social context, is an extremely useful medium; in its immediacy music has a potency of expression whose reach is long and wide. This two-volume set comprises Volume I: British and American Music, and Volume II: World Music.

Book Description
The Mexican poet’s debut novel of an autistic woman whose way with sea creatures wins her fame “glows with . . . enticing charm and assurance” (Guardian, UK). Karen Nieto passed her earliest years as a feral child, left alone to wander the vast beach property near her family’s failing tuna cannery. But when her aunt Isabelle comes to Mexico to take over the family business, she discovers a real girl amidst the squalor. So begins a miraculous journey for autistic savant Karen, who finds freedom not only in the love and patient instruction of her aunt but eventually at the bottom of the ocean swimming among the creatures of the sea. Despite how far she’s come, Karen remains defined by the things she can’t do—until her gifts with animals are finally put to good use at the family’s fishery. Her plan is brilliant: Consolation Tuna will be the first humane tuna fishery on the planet. Greenpeace approves, fame and fortune follow, and Karen is swept on a global journey that explores how we live, what we eat, and how our lives can defy even our own wildest expectations. Me, Who Dove into the Heart of the World marks an extraordinary debut by the award-winning Mexican playwright, journalist, and poet Sabina Berman.
