Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Michaels has written a bracing polemic that should quicken the debate over what diversity really means, or should mean, in academia and beyond.--The New York Review of Books If there's one thing Americans agree on, it's the value of diversity. Our corporations vie for slots in the Diversity Top 50, our universities brag about minority recruiting, and every month is Somebody's History Month. But in this eloquent (Chicago Tribune) and captivating (Los Angeles Times) book, Walter Benn Michaels argues that our enthusiastic celebration of difference masks our neglect of America's vast and growing economic divide. When it was first published in 2006, The Trouble with Diversity provoked a firestorm of praise and condemnation--not only hailed as genius (The Economist), cogent (The New Yorker), and impossible to disagree with (The Washington Post) it was excoriated as a wildly implausible product of the 'shock and awe' school of political argument (Slate) and Seething, misplaced, amnesiac resentment (The Nation). Now, a decade later, Michaels offers a new afterword on how our regime of equal-opportunity exploitation has only intensified. Magnificently iconoclastic, he demonstrates that commitments to diversity fail to offer a premise for social justice and in fact legitimize the economic forces that drive inequality rather than offering a resistance or even a critique. Most importantly, he makes the case that we should pay less attention to the illusory distinction of culture, and more attention to the real discrepancies of class and wealth.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In the Pacific during WWII, Billy Boyle must discover if skipper, and future president, Jack Kennedy is a cold-blooded killer. 1943: In the midst of the brutal, hard-fought Solomon Islands campaign between the Allies and the Japanese forces, Lieutenant Billy Boyle receives an odd assignment: he's sent by the powerful Kennedy family to investigate a murder in which PT skipper (and future president) Jack Kennedy has been implicated. The victim is a native coastwatcher, an allied intelligence operative, whom Kennedy discovered on the island of Tulagi with his head bashed in. That's Kennedy's story, anyhow. Kennedy was recovering in the Navy hospital on the island after the sinking of his PT-109 motor torpedo boat. The military hasn't decided yet whether to make him a hero for surviving the attack, or have him court-martialed for losing the boat, and the last thing the Kennedy clan wants is a murder charge hanging over his head. Billy knows firsthand that he shouldn't trust Jack: the man is a charmer, a womanizer, and, when it suits his needs, a liar. But would he kill someone in cold blood? And if so, why? The first murder is followed by two more, and to find the killer, Billy must sort through a tangled, shifting web of motives and identities, even as combat rages all around him.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Capturing the distinct rhythms of Jamaican life and dialect, Nicole Dennis- Benn pens a tender hymn to a world hidden among pristine beaches and the wide expanse of turquoise seas. At an opulent resort in Montego Bay, Margot hustles to send her younger sister, Thandi, to school. Taught as a girl to trade her sexuality for survival, Margot is ruthlessly determined to shield Thandi from the same fate. When plans for a new hotel threaten their village, Margot sees not only an opportunity for her own financial independence but also perhaps a chance to admit a shocking secret: her forbidden love for another woman. As they face the impending destruction of their community, each woman--fighting to balance the burdens she shoulders with the freedom she craves--must confront long-hidden scars. From a much-heralded new writer, Here Comes the Sun offers a dramatic glimpse into a vibrant, passionate world most outsiders see simply as paradise.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Warum sind wir auf der Welt? Was ist der Sinn des Lebens und was kommt nach dem Tod? Gibt es Gott und ein Jenseits wirklich? Derartige Fragen beschaftigen die Menschheit praktisch von Beginn an. Die Antworten, die die verschiedenen Religionen darauf bieten, stellen viele jedoch nicht zufrieden und werfen weitere Fragen auf, nicht zuletzt weil unmenschliche und grausame Glaubenskriege, nicht nur in der Vergangenheit, eine erschreckend hohe Zahl von Opfern gefordert haben und nicht wenige an der Existenz eines Gottes und seiner Gerechtigkeit zweifeln lassen. Andererseits berichten viele Menschen uber sogenannte Nahtoderfahrungen, in denen sie Kontakt mit Gott und verstorbenen Verwandten oder mit ehemaligen Freunden und Bekannten hatten und dabei eindrucksvolle Blicke ins Jenseits werfen durften. Sind das alles tatsachlich nur Hirn-gespinste, die alleine in Deutschland bereits uber 3 Millionen Menschen erlebt haben? Der Autor beschaftigt sich schon seit vielen Jahren mit dieser Thematik. Umfangreiche Informationen hierzu dienten als Grundlage fur einen Roman, dessen Handlung sich uberwiegend im Jenseits abspielt und so weitreichende Einblicke und Erkenntnisse aus einer ubernaturlichen Welt vermittelt.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. US Army detective Billy Boyle is called to investigate a mysterious murder in a Normandy farmhouse that threatens Allied operations. July, 1944, a full month after D-Day. Billy, Kaz, and Big Mike are assigned to investigate a murder close to the front lines in Normandy. An American officer has been found dead in a manor house serving as an advance headquarters outside the town of Trevi res. Major Jerome was far from his own unit, arrived unexpectedly, and was murdered in the dark of night. The investigation is shrouded in secrecy, due to the highly confidential nature of the American unit headquartered nearby in the Norman hedgerow country: the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, aka, the Ghost Army. This vague name covers a thousand-man unit with a unique mission within the US Army: to impersonate other US Army units by creating deceptions using radio traffic, dummy inflatable vehicles, and sound effects, causing the enemy to think they are facing large formations. Not even the units adjacent to their positions know what they are doing. But there are German spies and informants everywhere, and Billy must tread carefully, unmasking the murder while safeguarding the secret of the Ghost Army-a secret which, if discovered, could turn the tide of war decisively against the Allies.…
