He read about heroes, he didn't need to be one. But when his life is altered by a tragic accident and the world as he knows it, is violently taken away, Jesse finds hiself thrust into a strange and magical place known as "Otherworld," where reality is not what it seems, and imagination is everything. In a world ruled by a magic-wielding tyrant and filled with dangers untold, Jesse and his friends face many enemies and look into the eyes of true evil as they unravel the Secret of Otherworld. A secret that can transform the boy into a hero he never thought he could be. A hero that can free Otherworld from tyranny ... if he can survive!

Book Description

I'm living someone else's life. It was supposed to be an escape, a break from the painful memories and crushing responsibility keeping me awake at night. Fate brought me face-to-face with the chance of a lifetime - the chance to be her. Just for a little while. Just for a taste of another life. We may have looked identical, but everything else about us couldn't be more different. It was supposed to be easy and fun. No one had to know. But gradually, I lost the line between who she was and who I wanted to be. I never imagined I'd fall in love. How was I supposed to go back to my old life when I felt like I belonged in hers?

Book Description

"Investigating Iwo encourages us to explore the connection between American visual culture and World War II, particularly how the image inspired Marines, servicemembers, and civilians to carry on with the war and to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure victory over the Axis Powers. Chapters shed light on the processes through which history becomes memory and gains meaning over time. The contributors ask only that we be willing to take a closer look, to remain open to new perspectives that can deepen our understanding of familiar topics related to the flag raising, including Rosenthal's famous picture, that continue to mean so much to us today"--

Book Description

Said demonstrates that critical discourse has been strengthened by the writings of Derrida and Foucault and by influences like Marxism, structuralism, linguistics, and psychoanalysis. But, he argues, these forces have compelled literature to meet the requirements of a theory or system, ignoring complex affiliations binding the texts to the world.

Book Description

A bold vision of liberal humanism for navigating today’s complex world of growing identity politics and rising nationalism Collective identities such as race, nationality, religion, gender, and sexuality clamor for recognition and respect, sometimes at the expense of other things we value. To what extent do they constrain our freedom, and to what extent do they enable our individuality? Is diversity of value in itself? Has the rhetoric of human rights been overstretched? Kwame Anthony Appiah draws on thinkers through the ages and across the globe to explore such questions, developing an account of ethics that connects moral obligations with collective allegiances and that takes aim at clichés and received ideas about identity. This classic book takes seriously both the claims of individuality—the task of making a life—and the claims of identity, these large and often abstract social categories through which we define ourselves.
