Having grown up gifted and graduated from MIT with a degree in electrical engineering, Matthew Schauberger joined the Marine Corp due to his thirst for adventure and new challenges. Now in his early thirties, hes retiring as a major after ten years of service. A gifted fighter pilot and engineer, Matt is pursued by the technology company his late father once worked for. At the company, he discovers his fathers lifetime work to build a time machine and is deceived into completing the project. During the process, he stumbles upon a dark family secret and the origin of this technology. In Nazi Germany during World War II, his own grandfather was a scientist who led a top-secret project involving the development of a powerful electromagnetic engine capable of propelling flying saucer-shaped aircraft. At the end of the war in 1945, this technology was brought to the United States through Operation Paperclip, and it has evolved since then. Facing a powerful, immoral business tycoon, the pilot ends up traveling back in time in an attempt to save his father and keep the project out of malicious hands.

This book advances the trend toward field methods in rhetorical scholarship by collecting distinct chapters based on the same object of study – the University of Nevada, Reno’s Masterplan that extends the University into the adjacent community. Exploring the perennial problem of university-community relations from the perspective of multiple publics, this book provides thick description of a local issue that resonates with communities across the country. The fieldwork for each chapter was conducted in groups during a single, week-long site visit that asked scholars to study the asymmetrical traction among different communities to organize, publicize, and advocate positions around a proposed redevelopment project. Surveying the results of this professional experiment – the Project on Power, Place, and Publics – each chapter offers a theoretical intervention into the same material site, illustrates diverse place-based field methods, and models the scholarly results of work that mixes slow, deliberate, and thoughtful analysis with the fast pace and spontaneous demands of participatory research. This volume is unique for a number of reasons: it is the only study to concretely illustrate the compatibility of field methods with a wide range of theoretical perspectives; it attests to the possibility of deeply collaborative research as teams of researchers engaged multiple local partners to produce these chapters; and, it challenges the pervasive intellectual terrain that pits one theory against another by showing how diverse scholarly approaches can bolster one another. With a new introduction, afterword, and post-script material from authors, the other chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Review of Communication.

The Gateway is divided into two main parts. Part One: Takes place primarily in the town of Evergreen. Sarah DeWinter is a young, athletic college student just finishing up her last year of college and is looking forward to her summer job working as an assistant manager in a bookstore. There is to be great excitement this summer because Walter O'Bannon, past resident of Evergreen college, is finishing up his American book tour at the very book store Sarah has worked in since high school. O'Bannon is a highly popular, incredibly eccentric, and peculiarly mysterious fantasy writer. He has reached cult status among high school and young college readers. O'Bannon's publisher, Valiant Quest, kicks off the book tour with the usual press coverage all to showcase O'Bannon's newest epic novel. The book tour is tied into VQuest's Renaissance Festivals and sponsored theatrical productions - all financially lucrative endeavors to VQuest. To heighten the release of the book, a type of lottery is marketed. Wax sealed scrolls with random numbers inscribed are sent prior to each bookstore/festival and theater box office scheduled in O'Bannon's tour. The prize to the holder of the winning scroll is a coveted leather bound copy of O'Bannon's book. There is also a mystery surrounding the book tour: the strange disappearances of young people nearly every where O'Bannon makes an appearance. O'Bannon finally arrives in Evergreen. He is intent and insistent on visiting the city park. The object he is adamant about is the "Evergreen henge"; the focal point of the park. The henge is a stone oddity - prized by some as art and despised by others who label it an eyesore. Devoted fans flock to the book store with hopes of receiving the special edition novel. The tour ends on an anti-climatic note and Sarah is rather relieved. Yet there is still something not right, something that still disturbs Sarah. That evening Sarah is in the park and is pursued by unknown stalkers.

T. M. McNally’s subject in the seven stories in this, his third story collection, is love, always love. For him, these are religious stories for skeptics who are spiritually inclined. In "Bastogne,” a middle-aged son visiting the French countryside where his father was wounded in World War II pursues his father’s early ghosts, along with some of his own. In "Given,” the father of the lovely Annabella determines to provide a means of escape for his cherished daughter who has made a drastic mistake in her choice of a husband. And in the title story, a man and his wife celebrate their wedding anniversary in Paris where he muses about the bittersweet vagaries of his life and loves and about his wife’s younger days in the City of Light.
