Going for Broke: Living on the Edge in the World's Richest Country

Going for Broke, edited by Alissa Quart, executive director of the Economic Hardship Reporting Project, and David Wallis, former managing director of EHRP, gives voice to a range of gifted writers for whom 'economic precarity' is more than just another assignment. All illustrate what the late Barbara Ehrenreich, who conceived of EHRP, once described as 'the real face of journalism today: not million dollar-a-year anchorpersons, but low-wage workers and downwardly spiraling professionals.' One essayist and grocery store worker describes what it is like to be an 'essential worker' during the pandemic; another reporter and military veteran details his experience with homelessness and what would have actually helped him at the time. These dozens of fierce and sometimes darkly funny pieces reflect the larger systems that have made writers' bodily experiences, family and home lives, and work far harder than they ought to be. Featuring introductions by luminaries including Michelle Tea, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, and Astra Taylor, Going for Broke is revelatory. It shows us the costs of income inequality to our bodies and our minds—and demonstrates real ways to change our conditions.

True to Our Native Land, Second Edition

True to Our Native Land is a pioneering commentary on the New Testament that sets biblical interpretation firmly in the context of African American experience and concern. In this second edition, the scholarship is cutting-edge, updated, and expanded to be in tune with African American culture, education, and churches. The book calls into question many canons of traditional biblical research and highlights the role of the Bible in African American history, accenting themes of ethnicity, class, slavery, and African heritage as these play a role in Christian Scripture and the Christian odyssey of an emancipated people.

The Media and Me: A Guide to Critical Media Literacy for Young People

During the recent presidential election, 'media literacy' became a buzzword that signified the threat media manipulation posed to democratic processes. Meanwhile, statistical research has shown that eight to eighteen year-olds pack more than eleven hours with some form of media into each day by 'media multitasking.' Young people are not only eager and interested to learn about and discuss the realities of media ownership, production, and distribution, they also deserve to understand differential power structures in how media influences our culture. The Media and Me provides listeners with the tools and perspectives to be empowered and autonomous media users. The book explores critical inquiry skills to help young people form a multidimensional comprehension of what they read and watch, opportunities to see others like them making change, and insight into their own identity projects. By covering topics like storytelling, building arguments and recognizing fallacies, surveillance and digital gatekeeping, advertising and consumerism, and global social problems through a critical media literacy lens, this book will help students evolve from passive consumers of media to engaged critics and creators.

Immortal Death

Book number five; the final chapter in the Imogen Gray series. Imogen is on the brink of getting everything she ever wanted: love, safety, answers. Her father. Mortality.

Immortal Games

Immortality sucks. Just ask Imogen Gray: Over two-hundred thousand years old and teetering on the edge of total insanity. Strong as a shifter, faster than a vampire, Imogen's walked the earth forever, always alone, never growing, never changing. Never learning, either. Her smart mouth and quick temper get her into trouble far too often. When that happens, she gets hurt-and it can take a long time to heal from severed limbs and disembowelment. She's so tired of it all. Imogen's on a mission to find the next reincarnation of her father, the only person who knows how to complete the transition to human, and get rid of the curse of immortality. He must know, because he did it himself. He wasn't human when she was born-he was something else. But he died a human, and he keeps coming back to experience human life, again and again. He's here in Emerald Valley, hiding amongst the eccentric locals, or hobnobbing with the billionaires that visit the Vampire King's country club. She just has to find him. But when her delinquent teenage ward accidentally summons a powerful Fae Prince through the portal, finding her dad has to take a backseat. There's a homicidal maniac on the loose, one who has his eyes on the Vampire King. Her Vampire King. Worse than the burning jealousy is the fact that the Fae Prince seems to know exactly what she is.

Fugitive Telemetry [Dramatized Adaptation]: The Murderbot Diaries 6

'The New York Times bestselling security droid with a heart (though it wouldn't admit it!) is back in Fugitive Telemetry! No, I didn't kill the dead human. If I had, I wouldn't dump the body in the station mall. When Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people—who knew?) Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans! Again! Performed by David Cui Cui, Gail Shalan, Amanda Forstrom, Aure Nash, Bradley Foster Smith, Chris Stinson, Christopher Walker, Eric Messner, Jenna Sharpe, Joel David Santner, Julienne Irons, Ken Jackson, Khaya Fraites, Michael Glenn, Michael John Casey, Nazia Chaudhry, Scott McCormick, Stephanie Németh-Parker, Wyn Delano, Yasmin Tuazon and Zeke Alton.'
