Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Fighting Invisibility, Monica Mong Trieu argues that we must consider the role of physical and symbolic space to fully understand the nuances of Asian American racialization. By doing this, we face questions such as, historically, who has represented Asian America? Who gets to represent Asian America? This book shifts the primary focus to Midwest Asian America to disrupt—and expand beyond—the existing privileged narratives in United States and Asian American history. Drawing from in-depth interviews, census data, and cultural productions from Asian Americans in Ohio, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, and Michigan, this interdisciplinary research examines how post-1950s Midwest Asian Americans navigate identity and belonging, racism, educational settings, resources within co-ethnic communities, and pan-ethnic cultural community. Their experiences and life narratives are heavily framed by three pervasive themes of spatially defined isolation, invisibility, and racialized visibility. Fighting Invisibility makes an important contribution to racialization literature, while also highlighting the necessity to further expand the scope of Asian American history-telling and knowledge production.

Book excerpt: Some Christians believe strongly in the existence of demons and spiritual warfare. Others downplay or even ignore the idea. With such divergent views, how are Christians supposed to know the truth about demonic forces at work in this world? The Invisible War examines what every believer needs to know about Satan, demons, and spiritual warfare, offering a balanced look at this controversial subject. This provocative book will help Christians understand what the Bible says about these threats and will show them how they can safeguard themselves and their families through prayer. Now repackaged for a new generation, The Invisible War offers a balanced look at what is going on in the spiritual realm and what believers can do to defend themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a child, I thought war was just a game. As I grew up, I found out that war is very real and its effects devastating. I was taught ("conditioned") to believe that war is necessary, and grew up believing this. Now that I'm an adult, I'm interested in understanding what causes war and what each of us can do to end it. This book is intended to help you understand conditioning, because I think that what we call "conditioning" is the main cause of conflict - inside us as tension, fear, hate and anger, and outside as war. If we can become aware of how we are "conditioned" in our day-to-day life, then we can understand how such conditioning can lead to world conflict. Conditioning, and what causes it, is the "invisible enemy" because it is often unseen, hidden. The usual approach to dealing with this "enemy" is to fight it which just makes the situation worse. However, if you can understand conditioning, you can be free of it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a series of newly commissioned essays from the leading scholars and advocates in criminal justice, Invisible Punishment explores, for the first time, the far-reaching consequences of our current criminal justice policies. Adopted as part of “get tough on crime” attitudes that prevailed in the 1980s and '90s, a range of strategies, from “three strikes” and “a war on drugs,” to mandatory sentencing and prison privatization, have resulted in the mass incarceration of American citizens, and have had enormous effects not just on wrong-doers, but on their families and the communities they come from. This book looks at the consequences of these policies twenty years later.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability is see is fundamental to our very existence. How true our perceptions really are depends upon many factors, and not least is our understanding of what light is and how it interacts with matter. It was said that the camera, the icon of light recording instruments, never lies, and in the day of the glass plate and celluloid roll-film this might well have been true. But in this modern era, with electronic cameras and computer software, it is often safe to assume that the camera always lies. The advertising images that bombard our every waking moment are manipulated in shape, profile, color, and form. In this new era, light can be manipulated with metamaterials to make one object look like another or even cause that objects to vanish, literally before our eyes; not only can the image we see be manipulated, but so can the light itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all in one time or another have had some kind of fight whether it's a physical or a verbal one. We all have had our share of enemies that we have faced in our lives and have had battles that we have had to fight. And with every battle and every fight there was a winner and a loser, there was battle scars and bruises and sometimes broken bones. No matter how intense the fight or the battle was and even if you lost the fight you still came out of it. It may have been painful but you still survived it. This book is about fighting that invisible enemy the enemy that you can't see that enemy that no matter how hard you fight will always be there that is not going anywhere will be there to fight you every step of the way.
