Book Description
At seventeen, Michael is the newest member of the dragon riders, an elite force that stands between humanity and total destruction. Though his father was a great hero who sacrificed his life in the line of duty, Michael isn't sure he has what it takes to follow in his footsteps. Maxwell is by far the most talented of the riders. He is also the son of the man who betrayed Michael's father and his fellow knights a decade ago. Maxwell has been the object of everyone's hatred for most of his life...and he has a score to settle. As the riders continue their training, the necromancer Ranmar has set a new plan in motion to exterminate every human who walks the earth. But if Michael and Maxwell are to prevail against the forces of darkness, they must first learn to trust each other.

Sacrifice is such a touchy word in today's society, and yet, it is implemented every day nonetheless. This is not a documentary it is a compilation of works inspired by stories people hear about, but never experience.

Book Description
In recent years, a new market of convergence culture has developed. In this new market, one story, idea, concept, or product can be produced, distributed, appreciated, and understood by customers in a variety of different media. We are at the tipping point of this new convergence culture, and comics is a key area affected by this emerging model. In Comics for Film, Games, and Animation Tyler Weaver teaches you how to integrate comics storytelling into your own work by exploring their past, present, and future. You will explore the creation of the unique mythologies that have endured for more than seventy years, and dig into the nitty gritty of their creation, from pacing and scripting issues to collaboration. Finally, you'll gain a love and appreciation of the medium of comics, so much so that you won't be able to wait to bring that medium into your story toolbox.

Book Description
Marvel is one of the hottest media companies in the world right now, and its beloved superheroes are all over film, television and comic books. Yet rather than simply cashing in on the popularity of iconic white male characters like Peter Parker, Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, Marvel has consciously diversified its lineup of superheroes, courting controversy in the process. Panthers, Hulks, and Ironhearts offers the first comprehensive study of how Marvel has reimagined what a superhero might look like in the twenty-first century. It examines how they have revitalized older characters like Black Panther and Luke Cage, while creating new ones like Latina superhero Miss America. Furthermore, it considers the mixed fan responses to Marvel’s recasting of certain “legacy heroes,” including a Pakistani-American Ms. Marvel, a Korean-American Hulk, and a whole rainbow of multiverse Spidermen. If the superhero comic is a quintessentially American creation, then how might the increasing diversification of Marvel’s superhero lineup reveal a fundamental shift in our understanding of American identity? This timely study answers those questions and considers what Marvel’s comics, TV series, and films might teach us about stereotyping, Orientalism, repatriation, whitewashing, and identification.

Book Description
Personal Ethics and Ordinary Heroes: The Social Context of Morality examines what it means to be an authentic hero and provides real-life narratives that underscore the ethical principles guiding decision-making in the justice system and beyond. This engaging work revolves around a collection of excerpts from students studying ethics and social justice. The essays were responses to an invitation to write about and discuss a hero in their lives who motivated them to be more just, compassionate and morally responsible persons. These essays, collected over several years, portray shared meanings of heroism rooted in themes like sacrifice, perseverance and wisdom. The authors set student narratives in dialogues related to ethics and leadership that are both entertaining and useful for contemporary students and practitioners. This book illustrates the lessons of ethics in criminal and social justice practice and makes them tangible to students. Fostering the benefits of experiential learning, it brings real meaning to students of criminal justice as well as professionals in the criminal justice field and other areas of human and social service practice. It is an essential accompaniment to primary texts used in ethics courses and training seminars. This book is intended for use in undergraduate classes in applied human sciences and services like criminal justice, criminology, social work and political science. It is particularly well-suited for classes in the areas of ethics, organizations and administration, and leadership. It is also worthwhile reading for the active justice practitioner.

Book Description
"Aside from Amelia Earhart, America's earliest airwomen and their achievements remain largely unknown to the public. While enjoying widespread media attention in the twenties, thirties, and forties, America's female pilots lapsed into obscurity following World War II, denying current generations of women a promising cadre of role models. This book pays tribute to these spectacular pioneers: Katherine Stinson, Louise Thaden, World War II's Women Airforce Pilots, and many others." "Heroes Withowut Legacy examines basic features of the dramatic and exciting period between 1912 and 1944, when aviation began to mature both technically and commercially and when airwomen were competing head-to-head with men in record-breaking flights. During this period, women were among the entrepreneurs and innovators. They participated in the establishment of transportation routes and the transition from open cockpit biplanes to machines with practical cabins." "Examining the important role they played in fields as diverse as racing and aerial navigation, Dean Jaros probes the reasons why the substantial accomplishments of these women have been so neglected and reflects on whether the airwomen themselves might not have affected their own future in more positive ways. Rather than popularize or glorify the airwomen, Jaros provides an interpretive assessment of these individuals and the circumstances that influenced their lives." "Illustrated with eighteen photographs, most never before published, Heroes Without Legacy not only addresses a glaring historical deficiency but documents a recent resurgence of interest in these women aviators."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
Comic book studies has developed as a solid academic discipline, becoming an increasingly vibrant field in the United States and globally. A growing number of dissertations, monographs, and edited books publish every year on the subject, while world comics represent the fastest-growing sector of publishing. The Oxford Handbook of Comic Book Studies looks at the field systematically, examining the history and evolution of the genre from a global perspective. This includes a discussion of how comic books are built out of shared aesthetic systems such as literature, painting, drawing, photography, and film. The Handbook brings together readable, jargon-free essays written by established and emerging scholars from diverse geographic, institutional, gender, and national backgrounds. In particular, it explores how the term "global comics" has been defined, as well the major movements and trends that will drive the field in the years to come. Each essay will help readers understand comic books as a storytelling form grown within specific communities, and will also show how these forms exist within what can be considered a world system of comics.
