Описание: The Arab Spring did not arise out of nowhere. It was the physical manifestation of more than a decade of new media diffusion, use, and experimentation that empowered ordinary people during their everyday lives. In this book, Billie Jeanne Brownlee offers a refreshing insight into the way new media can facilitate a culture of resistance and dissent in authoritarian states.Investigating the root causes of the Syrian uprising of 2011, New Media and Revolution shows how acts of online resistance prepared the ground for better-organised street mobilisation. The book interprets the uprising not as the start of Syria's social mobilisation but as a shift from online to offline contestation, and from localised and hidden practices of digital dissent to tangible mass street protests. Brownlee goes beyond the common dichotomy that frames new media as either a deus ex machina or a means of expression to demonstrate that, in Syria, media was a nontraditional institution that enabled resistance to digitally manifest and gestate below, within, and parallel to formal institutions of power. To refute the idea that the population of Syria was largely apathetic and apolitical prior to the uprising, Brownlee explains that social media and technology created camouflaged geographies and spaces where individuals could protest without being detected.Challenging the myth of authoritarian stability, New Media and Revolution uncovers the dynamics of grassroots resistance blossoming under the radar of ordinary politics.

Описание: Vs. is the sound of a band on fire. The same confluence of talent, passion, timing, and fate that made “grunge” the world’s soundtrack also lit a short fuse beneath Pearl Jam. The band combusted between late 1992 and mid-1994, the span during which they planned, recorded, and supported their sophomore record. The spotlight, the pressure, the pace—it all nearly turned the thriving act to ash.
Eddie Vedder, the reluctant public face of the band, responded by lashing out lyrically. Jeff Ament, Mike McCready, and Stone Gossard, who beheld success with varying degrees of anxious satisfaction, attacked their instruments in solidarity. Dave Abbruzzese welcomed the rock-star lifestyle, and left his mark on the record with more than just potent percussion.
Vs. roils with fury—and at times, gently steams—over the trappings of fame, human faults, and societal injustice. The record is a thrashing testament to Pearl Jam’s urgent creativity and greater-good interests, and the band’s logistical calculations behind it drew a career-defining line in the sand. It promised the world that Pearl Jam would neither burn out nor fade away. This book weaves research, little-known details, and band members’ memories into a definitive account of how Vs. set them on a path toward enduring integrity and relevance.

Can a fake engagement become a real marriage?
Wiley Grey is stuck in a rut. He loves his picturesque hometown, helping in his best friend's bakery, and the house his grandmother left him. But something's missing. Holt Leydon never intended to become a reality TV show host. When his flamboyant brother, Kit, needed a handyman on the set of I Do!, Holt fell into the role, using his expertise to make Kit's wildest wedding designs come true. Now he's ready to move on. Kit has agreed on one condition: they rescue Kit's would-be ratings bonanza coming home episode by making Holt the groom. The problem is Holt needs someone to marry, and fast. Something compels him to ask childhood friend Wiley--and Wiley agrees to the pretense. Kit gets his dramatic last episode, Holt gets off the show, and Wiley gets some artificial excitement and a honeymoon on the show's dime. It's perfect--until the grooms start wishing their pretend engagement was more reality and less TV....

An attraction between foster siblings sets fire to forbidden love in this contemporary reimagining of Wuthering Heights.
Emma's life has always gone according to her very careful plans. But things take a turn toward the unexpected when she falls in love for the first time with the one person in the world who's off-limits: her new foster brother, the gorgeous and tormented Dylan McAndrews.
Meanwhile, Emma's AP English class is reading Wuthering Heights, and she's been assigned to echo Emily Bronte's style in an epistolary format. With irrepressible feelings and no one to confide in, she's got a lot to write about. Distraught by the escalating intensity of their mutual attraction, Emma and Dylan try to constrain their romance to the page--for fear of threatening Dylan's chances at being adopted into a loving home. But the strength of first love is all-consuming, and they soon get enveloped in a passionate, secretive relationship with a very uncertain outcome.
Tiffany Brownlee's Wrong in All the Right Ways marks the exciting debut of a fresh voice in contemporary teen fiction.

If your life seems to be falling apart, you can find hope, assurance, and faith again. God has not forgotten you. Self-reflection can bring about self-correction. If we allow the Holy Spirit to clean up our sight, the visions and dreams given to us will be clear.
Offering guidance filled with the love of Christ, Through God's Eyes seeks to bring awareness to the body of Christ about how we see ourselves, how we see others, what God expects of us, and how he sees us. In examining ourselves, we learn how we should treat one another with respect and be willing to help others along the way. Christ said that he would not leave us comfortless, and he has proven it by sending the Holy Spirit. Christ came that we might have life and have it to the fullest. We Christians should examine ourselves daily and ask ourselves: Where do I measure up in God's eyes today? If we fall short, we can take the opportunity to make the necessary adjustments and get back into the light. We all can get there if we stay devoted to his word, full of faith, and open to hearing his voice and acting on his terms.
This biblically inspired guide to personal growth teaches us to see things and circumstances through God's eyes, keeping us aligned with our Lord and focused on living a holy life.

Set in the British Columbia Interior, the novel Cambium Blue is an homage to resource towns, independent women and local newspapers.
In 1994, at the outset of the bark beetle epidemic that will decimate millions of acres of pine forest in western North America, a fiercely independent lumber town faces a bleak future when its only sawmill is shuttered. Encouraged by a provincial government intent on transitioning the region from timber to tourism, the town council embraces a resort developer as their last, best hope. A failure to anticipate the human cost of that choice ignites a struggle for the very soul of the community.
Cambium Blue's narrative alternates between three viewpoints. Stevie Jeffers is a timid, 24-year-old single mom who stakes her future on the town after a traumatic break-up. Nash Malone is a reclusive Spanish Civil War veteran who supplements his pension with salvage from the local dump--an occupation that puts him on a collision course with the town's plan to beautify itself. At 54 years old, cash-strapped and short-staffed Maggie Evans is treading water while waiting to sell her dead husband's newspaper, the barely solvent Chronicle. As the characters' lives intertwine and the conflict heats up, they will each be challenged to traverse the ambiguous divide between substance and hype, past and future, hope and despair.
Rich with unforgettable characters and set in the Interior hinterland of British Columbia, Cambium Blue is a masterful and compassionate illumination of the human politics of a small town, and the intersection of individual lives with political agendas and environmental catastrophes.
