Breathtaking photographs and deeply personal stories from a leading surfing and nature photographer, conservation advocate, and social media force Wayward is a collection of striking photographs and the revealing personal stories behind them by one of the leading surf, nature, and adventure photographers of our time. At remote beaches and locales in places like Russia, Norway, Iceland, and the Aleutian Islands, Chris Burkard suffered from hypothermia, destroyed thousands of dollars' worth of camera gear, and spent a few nights in jail. But in the process, he captured amazing and iconic images that have defined his life’s work. And while millions have seen his photographs in magazines, marketing campaigns for Patagonia, Sony, and others, and via his social media, Burkard has never given a full account of these journeys--until now. With never-before-seen images and the stories behind them, Burkard crafts an original narrative that combines the page-turning drama of a great explorer’s adventure story and the immediacy and power of unforgettable photographs. Chronicling both the failures and the successes he has experienced in building a career, Burkard shares an infectious passion for photography, surfing, and chasing dreams in some of the world’s most awe-inspiring places.

Taking an innovative, postcolonial, feminist perspective on transformations in the Philippine nation in the context of globalization, Fantasy-Production provides a theoretical framework for understanding the nationalist and postcolonial capitalist logics shaping the actions of the Philippines as a nation-state. Tadiar probes the consequences of dominant Philippine imaginations by examining a broad range of phenomena which characterize the contemporary Philippine nation, including the mass migration overseas of domestic workers, the 'prostitution economy', urban restructuring, the popular revolt toppling the Marcos dictatorship, as well as various works of art, poetry, historiography, and film. This will be one of the first books available widely in English that provides a sustained theoretical engagement with the cultural dimensions of contemporary socio-political and economic developments in the Philippines.

After the death of their rock star father from a drug overdose, three very different sisters are forced together to decide what to do with their inheritance. But who was Mik DeSalle? Even though they share blood, they did not have the same father – Evelyn Shelton's father was Richard Shelton, a young man from Pittsburgh's working class who had a dream; Lucille Williams' father was Mik DeSalle, the famous guitarist with Sheffield Steel who left Richard Shelton behind as soon as he left his first family and boarded a plane to Los Angeles; Soleil DeSalle's father was a musician past his prime, slipping into drugs and apathy with his new Hollywood wife. Once the sisters decide to work together, they find that others want to share the wealth for their own selfish reasons. Faith, Soleil's drug addict mother, joins with Brad, Evelyn's exhusband, to get part of the fortune. But Faith doesn't just want money; she wants revenge, especially against Mariah Williams, Lucille's mother and Mik's one true love. But for the sisters to find happiness and peace and to triumph over the obstacles placed in their path, they need to reveal everything to each other. And that includes what really happened to Evelyn's brother Ricky – and what really happened to Mik.

Moments in time encompassing the past while highlighting the present. Individual struggle binding souls together with a purpose. Sunday evening reflections create inward rumblings. A single voice creating the structure of a new dialog.
