Book Description
From Halloween to Hollywood, from the Dogon of Africa to the Di Opera of China, masks have played a critical role in tradition, ritual, and meaning-making. In these long months of COVID-19, mask-wearing became a part of everyday dress and the center of critical debate. During 2020, we saw two crises intersect: the pandemic and police racial brutality--in the protests that followed, masks were seen everywhere. The common assumption is that masks hide, yet often, in many cultures, masks reveal the true nature of people. In Signal Hill Road's UNMASKING, we explore the above along with critical questions: what is at the core of the resistance to masks? How did people creatively innovate with face masks in the last year? As we continue in 2021, a unspoken theme of the last year has been "Mask On / Eyes Open."

Book Description
Masks have been a ubiquitous and oft-politicized aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic. Years of painstakingly organized pre-pandemic planning documents led public health experts to initially discourage the use of masks, or even insinuate that they could lead to increased rates of spread. Yet seemingly in a matter of days in spring 2020, leading infectious disease scientists and organizations reversed their previous positions and recommended masking as the key tool to slow the spread of COVID and dramatically reduce infections. Unmasked tells the story of how effective or ineffective masks and mask mandate policies were in impacting the trajectory of the pandemic throughout the world. Author Ian Miller covers the earliest days of the pandemic, from experts such as Dr. Anthony Fauci contradicting their previous statements and recommending masks as the most important policy intervention against the spread of COVID, to the months afterward as many locations around the globe mandated masks in nearly all public settings. With easy-to-understand charts and visual aids, along with detailed, clear explanations of the dramatic shift in policy and expectations, Unmasked makes the data-driven case that masks might not have achieved the goals that Fauci and other public health experts created.

Book Description
This volume focuses on the process of un/masking rather than on the object of the mask, and highlights the performative aspects that render masks catalysts of transition and transformation. Through its ability to simultaneously hide and reveal, the act of un/masking has the power to destabilize supposedly fixed identities and to blur the lines between the self and the other, the visible and the invisible, life and death. In this sense, masks are ambiguous, liminal objects, marking a condition of 'in-between' that is both a point of separation and a line of contact. Masking and unmasking are thus intertwined and cannot be neatly separated. In addressing both historical and contemporary phenomena, Un/Masking offers new perspectives on current debates surrounding issues such as protective masks and facial recognition technologies. To match the incredible variety of cultural contexts in which masks play a crucial role - from ancient theatrical practices to digital technologies, to ritual, artistic, and literary activities throughout the world - this volume takes a decidedly interdisciplinary approach to understanding the act of un/masking and what it can mean today.

Adrian Strathmore, a reclusive genius haunted by his past, leads a double life. By day, he is an enigmatic genius, revered for his intellect and eccentricity.

Scarred both inside and out, he finds solace in his hidden identity and the noble purpose it serves. Vanessa Bourke, a beautiful actress, finds herself drawn to both Adrian Strathmore, the elusive figure who showers her with tokens of admiration, and Prometheus, the enigmatic hero, not realizing they are one and the same. Consumed by her desire to know the man behind the mask, Vanessa pleads for him to reveal himself, to trust in her love despite his scars. But Adrian, deeply wounded and guarded, fears the vulnerability that accompanies unmasking his true self. Determined not to risk his heart, he pushes her away, willing to lose her forever rather than face the possibility of rejection. Desperate to break through Adrian's defenses and prove the depths of her affection, Vanessa resorts to an audacious act of blackmail. With their lives forever changed, they enter into a marriage built on deceit and shattered trust. As their relationship evolves and Vanessa's love for Adrian deepens, she struggles to mend the bonds she has broken and convince him that her feelings are genuine. Amidst the grandeur and splendor of Victorian society, Adrian and Vanessa embark on a tumultuous journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and the healing power of true love. Will Adrian find the courage to unmask not only his scars but also his heart, allowing Vanessa to see the man he truly is? Or will the shadows of their pasts forever keep them apart? MASKED INTENTIONS is a captivating Victorian historical romance that explores the transformative power of love, the resilience of the human spirit, and the beauty that lies beneath the masks we wear.
