Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his lengthy career as both an actor and a director, Clint Eastwood has appeared in virtually every major film genre and, at this point in his career, has emerged as one of America’s most popular, recognizable, and respected filmmakers. He also remains a controversial figure in the political landscape, often characterized as the most prominent conservative voice in mostly liberal Hollywood. At Eastwood’s late age, his critical success as actor and director, his combative willingness to confront serious cultural issues in his films, and his undeniable talent behind the camera all call for a new and comprehensive study that considers and contextualizes his multiple roles, both on and off screen. Tough Ain’t Enough offers readers a series of original essays by prominent cinema scholars that explore the actor-director’s extensive career. The result is a far-reaching and nuanced portrait of one of America’s most prolific and thoughtful filmmakers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking work, Kamal Sadiq reveals that most of the world's illegal immigrants are not migrating directly to the US, but to countries in the vast developing world, where they are able to obtain citizenship papers fairly easily. Sadiq introduces "documentary citizenship" to explain how paperwork--often falsely obtained--confers citizenship on illegal immigrants. Across the globe, there are literally tens of millions of such illegal immigrants who have assumed the guise of "citizens." Who, then, is really a citizen? And what does citizenship mean for most of the world's peoples? Rendered in vivid detail, Paper Citizens not only shows how illegal immigrants acquire false papers, but also sheds light on the consequences this will have for global security in the post 9/11 world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book Marines Ain’t So Tough is just one of the dozens of short stories created by master storyteller Jim Williams. Each story uses a human emotion or experience as its genesis. Love, hate, courage, grief, revenge, lust, fear, and madness all serve as a backdrop for page-turning, thoughtful prose written in the style of Hemingway and Poe. A man tests his courage in Men Who Want to Fight; a grieving woman searches for answers in Where There’s Smoke; a clever sexy lady plays with a lustful man in Cindy; young lovers spend a memorable time in A Day At The Beach; three old folks, prisoners in a nursing home, rise to new heights and succeed in Old Fart TV; a young man meets God and explains his emotions during sex in God Jumped Into My Car; and many more stories are designed to explore the essence of what makes us human. Williams also explores elements of science fiction. His story, Mirror Mirror, captures both a technical experiment gone wrong with madness as an outcome. In The Land Of The Blind, there is an emotional and strange result as the velocity of the earth increases as it hurls through space and time and its effect on humankind. When you read Marines Ain’t So Tough, you will delight in each story's structure and outcome. Thought provoking, sometimes mystical, sometimes just funny... a good read and an experience worth remembering. About the Author Jim Williams is a world traveler, sailor, published author, and an Irish American who loves storytelling.
