DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In 1969, the world was shocked by a series of murders committed by Charles Manson and his “family” of followers. Although the defendants were sentenced to death in 1971, their sentences were commuted to life with parole in 1972; since 1978, they have been regularly attending parole hearings. Today all of the living defendants remain behind bars. Relying on nearly fifty years of parole hearing transcripts, as well as interviews and archival materials, Hadar Aviram invites readers into the opaque world of the California parole process—a realm of almost unfettered administrative discretion, prison programming inadequacies, high-pitched emotions, and political pressures. Yesterday’s Monsters offers a fresh longitudinal perspective on extreme punishment.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Monsters explores questions about the central concept of the monstrous: Why do we create monsters? Are they animal, human, both, or neither? Which of our fears and desires do monsters embody? What can monsters tell us about our cultural and historical moments? How do we cope with the monsters that haunt our imaginations—and our societies? Readings by classic poets, contemporary fiction writers, pop culture critics, philosophers, psychologists, occultists, veterinarians, ethicists, historians, and others take up these questions and more. Questions and assignments for each selection provide a range of activities for students to write about vampires, werewolves, zombies, mermaids, serial killers, classic horror movie monsters, and more strange things that go bump in the night.

An editorial board of a dozen compositionists at schools with courses focusing on specific themes assists in the development of the series. Each reader collects thoughtfully chosen selections sufficient for an entire writing course—about 35 pieces—to allow instructors to provide carefully developed, high-quality instruction at an affordable price. Bedford Spotlight Readers are designed to help students from all majors make sustained inquiries from multiple perspectives, opening up topics such as borders, food, gender, happiness, humor, language, music, science and technology, subcultures, and sustainability, to critical analysis.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →I Fought the Monster is a day-by-day diary account of the struggles one Christian man endured in his fight against cancer. It is written with the desire to give thanks to the Lord who orchestrated the events and placement of people that saved his life, and to express the companionship found in God during this time of need. These pages also share a broad spectrum of experiences that many cancer victims encounter, and revealing them may help others prepare for their journey against their own monster. The disease referenced in these pages was a rare, aggressive form of cancer known as Burkitt's Leukemia/Lymphoma which consequently has an equally harsh chemotherapy treatment. While the type of cancer is unimportant, the brutal ordeal it brings is of the utmost. May this life story help educate others and arm them to fight for their survival and encourage them to embrace a relationship with God.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Dance of the Kangaroos (The Riot shall not be Televised) is a collection of 42 poems on the socio-political and economic realities of a people polarised by bitter colonial experiences. Through the use of metaphor and other literary devices, closely knitted by an apprehensive sense of a first witness, the poems highlight experiences of oppression, marginalization, social justice and human rights abuse. Dance of the Kangaroos takes the reader on a journey that unveils the realities and challenges of postcolonial African society. It is one where the superior class have taken up the colonial whip and induced their subordinates to re-stage a colonial parody under indigénat, a policy used by the French in colonial Africa. Mbutoh draws on words and expressions from his African background and his knowledge of his people’s colonial experiences to make each poem unique.
