Worlds Gone Awry
Author: John J. Han
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476633770
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Dystopian fiction captivates us by depicting future worlds at once eerily similar and shockingly foreign to our own. This collection of new essays presents some of the most recent scholarship on a genre whose popularity has surged dramatically since the 1990s. Contributors explore such novels as The Lord of the Flies, The Heart Goes Last, The Giver and The Strain Trilogy as social critique, revealing how they appeal to the same impulse as utopian fiction: the desire for an idealized yet illusory society in which evil is purged and justice prevails.

Product Description When Doctor M. Scott Peck suggested Elan to my parents I was skeptical because the first program he sent me to was a drug program, and I had never done drugs. He said it wasn't, and that Elan treated teens with emotional problems. He told me that Elan had psychiatrists and counselors, and activities, so I agreed to go.What I witnessed was unbelievable. Elan was an insane asylum, run by the inmates, and Joe Ricci was God. For more than thirty years I told people I had been in prison, rather than the truth of what happened there. After you read this book you will understand why.

Publisher: Hollidae
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
The Fifth in the Romance Series featuring African American Couples Spring and Bilal Part 2 of 2 Spring's personal life has never gone according to plan. Certainly so when it came to Bilal. She didn't plan to be more than friends with him. She didn't plan to fall in love with him. She didn't plan to find out she was pregnant after he'd broken her heart. She certainly didn't plan to forgive him (for now) and take him back afterward with the promise of starting over and taking things slow. So much for taking things slow though when due to circumstances out both their control, Bilal ends up temporarily staying with Spring and she starts to wonder just how "slow" Bilal really wants to take things when he seems to be making permanent plans for them that go beyond fixing up a space for the baby. But heartwarming as all that is, Spring can't get him to tell her why he won't tell his family that she's pregnant or why he still refuses to go public about their relationship at all. And rather than planning a happily ever after, Spring feels like if she can't get him to be honest about all that and why he broke up with her the first time, they're doomed for another more permanent breakup instead.

All the World Is Awry
Author: R. Kevin Lacey
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438479468
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
Free-thinking poet, grammarian, social critic, and satirist, Abū al-‛Alā' al-Ma‛arrī (973–1057 CE) remains one of the more celebrated and intriguing personalities in the history of Arab Islamic civilization. Although the controversies surrounding his skepticism, cynicism, and anticlericalism have never been completely resolved, his more disquieting writings are commonly available in the Arab world, cited in standard histories of Arabic literature, and the subject of scholarly studies. Al-Ma‛arrī is universally recognized as a giant among the litterateurs of Islam, deservedly famous for the role that he played in the development of Arabic verse as a more serious vehicle of religious-political thought and social criticism. The centrality attributed to al-Ma‛arrī as innovator has been linked to a strain of inquiry that has been particularly paramount to Westerners: To what extent did al-Ma‛arrī and other unconventional thinkers stray from the course of mainstream Islamic thought? In this book, R. Kevin Lacey places al-Ma‛arrī within the broader context of Arab Islamic political and intellectual history up to the mid-eleventh century and identifies the coherencies and incoherencies within his overall thought in an effort to determine the extent to which he deviated from his inherited faith. Al-Ma‛arrī and his like were hardly representative, and their imprint on their co-religionists may be questionable, but they must be taken into consideration in order to do full justice to the intellectual history of Islam.

Civil War Battlefield Orders Gone Awry
Author: Donald R. Jermann
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 9780786469499
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
During the Civil War, the outcome of many a battle or campaign hinged on the proper wording, dissemination and interpretation of battlefield orders. Early in the war, officers trained in small unit combat could suddenly find themselves commanding thousands of men and writing orders to subordinates with little experience in the practice. The inclusion of accurate origin information, up-to-date knowledge of the situation in the field, the amount of discretion given to recipients, and the speed and geographical acumen of couriers were critical. This innovative volume examines 13 cases in which the tide of battle turned on written orders, including Ball's Bluff, Fredericksburg, Vicksburg, Gettysburg and Chickamauga. The importance of this seemingly clerical task, this work shows, equaled that of tactics, manpower, and supplies in determining the course of the Civil War.

Good Intentions Gone Awry
Author: Jan Hare
Publisher: University of British Columbia Press
ISBN:
Category : Methodist Church
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Annotation. Good Intentions Gone Awry chronicles the experiences of a missionary wife through the letters of Emma Crosby to her family and friends in Ontario. Her husband, Thomas Crosby, came to Fort Simpson, near present-day Prince Rupert, in 1874 to set up a mission among the Tsimshian people. The authors critically examine Emma's sincere convictions about mission work and the running of the Crosby Girl's Home, later a residential school, while at the same time exposing them as a product of the times in which she lived. They also examine the roles of Native and mixed-race intermediaries who made possible the feats attributed to Thomas Crosby.
