Edinburgh, 1844. Beautiful Aileana Kameron only looks the part of an aristocratic young lady. In fact, she's spent the year since her mother died developing her ability to sense the presence of Sithichean, a faery race bent on slaughtering humans. She has a secret mission: to destroy the faery who murdered her mother.

The first volume of a trilogy from an exciting new voice in young adult fantasy, this electrifying thriller blends romance and action with steampunk technology and Scottish lore in a deliciously addictive read.
Affective Health and Masculinities in South Africa

"Affective Health and Masculinities in South Africa explores how different masculinities modulate substance use, interpersonal violence, suicidality, and AIDS as well as recovery cross-culturally. With a focus on three male protagonists living in very distinct urban areas of Cape Town, this comparative ethnography shows that men's struggles to become invulnerable increase vulnerability. Through an analysis of masculinities as social assemblages, the study shows how affective health problems are tied to modern individualism rather than African 'tradition' that has become a clichâe in Eurocentric gender studies. Affective health is conceptualized as a balancing act between autonomy and connectivity that after colonialism and apartheid has become compromised through the imperative of self-reliance. This book provides a rare perspective on young men's vulnerability in everyday life that may affect the reader and spark discussion about how masculinities in relationships shape physical and psychological health. Moreover, it shows how men change in the face of distress in ways that may look different than global health and gender transformative approaches envision. Thick descriptions of actual events over the life course make the study accessible to both graduate and undergraduate students in the social sciences. Contributing to current debates on mental health and masculinity, the volume will be of interest to scholars from a number of disciplines including anthropology, gender studies, African studies, psychology and global health"--

Darkly humorous, usually sarcastic, and always profane and offensive, Interviews with Dead Celebrities tears apart the pillars upon which we place celebrities, politicians, and entertainers with sharp social commentary in the form of interviews that are relentless in their pursuit of the raw, honest, (albeit completely fictional) truth. Written by humorist and comedian Adam Avitable, this book asks the questions you've always wanted to know. Why did Whitney Houston throw away her good will for drugs? Did Osama bin Laden really hate America? Can Steve Jobs tell a joke? Does Joe Paterno care about children? Would John Hughes have written a sequel to Ferris Bueller's Day Off? With over fifty posthumous interviews written entirely by Avitable, Interviews with Dead Celebrities will make you laugh, make you gasp, and may make you write him an angry letter telling him that he's evil for making you laugh. Read interviews with the following celebrities and public figures: Peter Graves, Lucille Ball, Adolf Hitler, Phil Hartman, Ed McMahon, Zelda Rubinstein, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Sherman Hemsley, Jack Kevorkian, Barbara Billingsley, Corey Haim, Helen Keller, Leonard Stern, Osama bin Laden, Anna Nicole Smith, Gary Coleman, Heath Ledger, Patrick Swayze, Aaliyah, Tony Curtis, Greg Giraldo, Leslie Nielsen, Billy Mays, Brittany Murphy, George Carlin, Martin Luther King, Jr., Bob Guccione, Amy Winehouse, Roy Scheider, Dick Clark, Mark Twain, Elizabeth Taylor, Robert Novak, John Lennon, John Hughes, Amelia Earhart, Dennis Hopper, Michael Jackson, Oral Roberts, Farrah Fawcett, Walter Cronkite, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Jack LaLanne, Kim Jong Il, Whitney Houston, Andy Rooney, Ted Kennedy, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Marilyn Monroe, Ronald Reagan, Joe Paterno, Nora Ephron, JD Salinger, Ray Bradbury, Princess Diana, and Steve Jobs. Adam Avitable is a blogger who has been writing at Avitable.com for thirteen years. He is a lawyer, a stand-up comedian, and a sucker for redheads. He loves bacon and chocolate but would give those up in a heartbeat just to make the world laugh until it collectively peed itself.

A 108-meter high Eiffel Tower rises above Champs Elysées Square in Hangzhou. A Chengdu residential complex for 200,000 recreates Dorchester, England. An ersatz Queen’s Guard patrols Shanghai’s Thames Town, where pubs and statues of Winston Churchill abound. Gleaming replicas of the White House dot Chinese cities from Fuyang to Shenzhen. These examples are but a sampling of China’s most popular and startling architectural movement: the construction of monumental themed communities that replicate towns and cities in the West. Original Copies presents the first definitive chronicle of this remarkable phenomenon in which entire townships appear to have been airlifted from their historic and geographic foundations in Europe and the Americas, and spot-welded to Chinese cities. These copycat constructions are not theme parks but thriving communities where Chinese families raise children, cook dinners, and simulate the experiences of a pseudo-Orange County or Oxford. In recounting the untold and evolving story of China’s predilection for replicating the greatest architectural hits of the West, Bianca Bosker explores what this unprecedented experiment in “duplitecture” implies for the social, political, architectural, and commercial landscape of contemporary China. With her lively, authoritative narrative, the author shows us how, in subtle but important ways, these homes and public spaces shape the behavior of their residents, as they reflect the achievements, dreams, and anxieties of those who inhabit them, as well as those of their developers and designers. From Chinese philosophical perspectives on copying to twenty-first century market forces, Bosker details the factors giving rise to China’s new breed of building. Her analysis draws on insights from the world’s leading architects, critics and city planners, and on interviews with the residents of these developments.

In a book that’s one part prophecy, one part thought experiment, one part manifesto, and one part survival manual, internet impresario and blogging pioneer Jeff Jarvis reverse-engineers Google, the fastest-growing company in history, to discover forty clear and straightforward rules to manage and live by. At the same time, he illuminates the new worldview of the internet generation: how it challenges and destroys—but also opens up—vast new opportunities. His findings are counterintuitive, imaginative, practical, and above all visionary, giving readers a glimpse of how everyone and everything—from corporations to governments, nations to individuals—must evolve in the Google era. What Would Google Do? is an astonishing, mind-opening book that, in the end, is not about Google. It’s about you.
