Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, Worlds Apart examined the nature of poverty through the stories of real people in three remote rural areas of the United States: New England, Appalachia, and the Mississippi Delta. In this new edition, Duncan returns to her original research, interviewing some of the same people as well as some new key informants. Duncan provides powerful new insights into the dynamics of poverty, politics, and community change. "Duncan, through in-depth investigation and interviews, concludes that only a strong civic culture, a sense among citizens of community and the need to serve that community, can truly address poverty. . . . Moving and troubling. Duncan has created a remarkable study of the persistent patterns of poverty and power."—Kirkus Reviews "The descriptions of rural poverty in Worlds Apart are interesting and read almost like a novel."—Choice

Book excerpt: In “Radio Rain," Jay resides in a mental institution where he continues to experience mysterious sightings and receives messages intended for Peter, a staff member living on campus. People are subject to the mandatory medication law enforced by their society. Peter, struggling with the side effects of the medication, pleads with Dr. Filmore, the head of the institution, to allow him to stop taking it. However, Dr. Filmore reveals that Peter's medication is essential to control his schizophrenia. Despite Dr. Filmore's warnings, Peter decides to stop taking his medication, craving a sense of reality. His decision leads to a series of events that unravel the fabric of their controlled existence. As deadly rain threatens their safety. When Peter encounters his long-presumed dead wife, Ali, he learns of the existence of an underground resistance fighting against the government. As Peter delves deeper into this hidden society, he grapples with conflicting loyalties and the harsh realities of a world torn apart. In "Worlds Apart," Marsh Flusty, a determined investigator, refuses to rest until he finds his missing wife, Ellen, despite being reinstated in his job by Sergeant Laws. Suspecting that Ellen's disappearance is linked to the enigmatic figure known as Robbins, Marsh delves deeper into the underground world of crime and corruption. Marsh's search leads him to Toronto, where he encounters the mysterious Sylvie, a key player in the criminal underworld. With Sylvie's guidance, Marsh embarks on a perilous journey to the moon colonies, hoping to uncover the truth about Ellen's whereabouts. Meanwhile, Peter, Marsh's trusted ally, races to the moon to assist Marsh, only to find himself and Marsh under attack in the lunar colonies. Escaping through the labyrinthine sewers, Peter and Marsh discover clues that point to Robbins as the mastermind behind the escalating violence. As the dust settles and the truth is revealed, Marsh and Peter find themselves on opposite sides of a deadly conflict that will determine the fate of both Earth and the moon. "Worlds Apart" is a thrilling tale of mystery, betrayal, and redemption set against the backdrop of a futuristic world torn apart by greed and ambition.

Book excerpt: Alan Sakowitz, a whistleblower of a Madoff-like Ponzi scheme masterminded by Scott Rothstein, fraudster extraordinaire, tells of the story of his decision to turn in Rothstein regardless of the possible dangerous ramifications of such a decision. The saga of Rothstein's rise and fall which included a Warren Yacht, two Bugattis, Governor Crist, the former Versace mansion, The Eagles, and even the murder of a law partner, is the stuff that Hollywood movies are made from. Instead of the mere accounting of such a scandal, Sakowitz uses the Rothstein scheme as a cautionary tale in stark contrast to the stories of humble, ethical individuals living within Sakowitz's neighborhood in North Miami Beach, Florida, Sakowitz's neighbors are people who have spent their lives trying to assist others, not line their pockets, and through these stories Sakowitz creates a sharp dichotomy between the greed, of a Rothstein and its mainstream culture of consumption and the charity, kindness and selflessness of a principle-oriented community. Indeed, Sakowitz speaks to the symptoms of a culture that could create a Scott Rothstein, and, though acknowledging that the easy way out is not simple to dismiss, offers remedies to the growing ills of our entitlement society. The answer, Sakowitz says, lies in thinking first of others, and how one's actions should benefit the lives of friends, not one's short-term gratifications.

Download or read book Textual Deceptions written by Sue Vice and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title considers a wide range of 20th and 21st century literary works that feature literary deceptions and false memories and in which the relationship between text and author is not what it seems. By exploring a variety of examples of false or embellished memoirs, purportedly autobiographical novels that are in fact thoroughly fictional, as well as bogus authorial personae, it discusses whether it is possible to judge veracity by means of textual clues alone. It also argues that literary deceptions and false memoirs have particular cultural value and significance.

Book excerpt: Some of the greatest works in English literature were first published without their authors' names. Why did so many authors want to be anonymous--and what was it like to read their books without knowing for certain who had written them? In Anonymity, John Mullan gives a fascinating and original history of hidden identity in English literature. From the sixteenth century to today, he explores how the disguises of writers were first used and eventually penetrated, how anonymity teased readers and bamboozled critics--and how, when book reviews were also anonymous, reviewers played tricks of their own in return. Today we have forgotten that the first readers of Gulliver's Travels and Sense and Sensibility had to guess who their authors might be, and that writers like Sir Walter Scott and Charlotte Brontë went to elaborate lengths to keep secret their authorship of the best-selling books of their times. But, in fact, anonymity is everywhere in English literature. Spenser, Donne, Marvell, Defoe, Swift, Fanny Burney, Austen, Byron, Thackeray, Lewis Carroll, Tennyson, George Eliot, Sylvia Plath, and Doris Lessing--all hid their names. With great lucidity and wit, Anonymity tells the stories of these and many other writers, providing a fast-paced, entertaining, and informative tour through the history of English literature.

Now, just out of the Army, Shailene is trying to rebuild her life. She has a job as a computer geek, a small and secure apartment in a quiet neighborhood, and even a new friendship-possibly more-with a gentle architect named Mike. Things are going well, until the bodies of four young boys are discovered in New Jersey's Pine Barrens. Keeping her boss and Mike in the dark, Shailene takes emergency vacation and goes to Trenton, hoping she can find the killer before another boy ends up in a shallow grave.
