"The Elements of Style is an American English writing style guide in numerous editions. The original was written by William Strunk Jr. in 1918, and it was published by Harcourt in 1920, comprising eight "elementary rules of usage," ten "elementary principles of composition," "a few matters of form," a list of 49 "words and expressions commonly misused," and a list of 57 "words often misspelled." Strunk concentrated on the cultivation of good writing and composition; the original 1918 edition exhorted writers to "omit needless words," use the active voice, and employ parallelism appropriately."

America today is lopsided. Although there are millions of Americans who disagree with the prevailing progressive orthodoxy, they nevertheless tolerate it to avoid heated debate. Meanwhile, progressives push their agenda relentlessly and passionately and have achieved dominance over many American institutions including the News Media, Big Tech, Education, entertainment, bureaucracy, and big business. These institutions operate outside the confines of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. This book describes the who, what, how, and why of the progressive agenda and suggests ways to slow down the deterioration of America.

A practical guide to help authors authentically write and edit a character whose identity is different than their own. Do you have the tools to authentically write and edit a character whose identity is different than your own? It’s not a subject that’s generally taught in creative writing programs, and there are so few craft books and online resources on the subject. Even if you can take a seminar, class, or workshop, there’s nothing like having an easy-to-understand book on hand to provide guidance and insight every time you craft characters with historically marginalized identities. In Writing an Identity Not Your Own, award-winning author Alex Temblador discusses one of the most contentious topics in creative writing: crafting a character whose identity is historically marginalized. What is “identity,” and how do unconscious biases and bias blocks impact and influence what we write? What is intersectionality? You’ll learn about identity terms, stereotypes, and tropes, and receive genre-specific advice related to various identities to consider when writing different races and ethnicities, sexual and romantic orientations, gender identities, disabilities, nationalities, and more. Through writing strategies, exercises, and literary excerpts, writers will gain a clearer understanding on how misrepresentations and harmful portrayals can appear in storylines, dialogue, and characterization. Alex will guide writers from the brainstorming phase through the editing process so they can gain a full understanding of the complexities of writing other identities and why it’s important to get them right.

• Combines consideration of the philosophical grounding and the real-world application of animal rights • Written from an unambiguously pro-animal rights stance, but one which invites the reader to imagine what a world in which animals enjoyed rights would be like rather than preaching • Covers longstanding issues (such as vivisection and factory farming) but also up-to-date debates (such as political representation of non-humans, wild animal suffering) that have gained prominence in the years since competing volumes were written • As well as examining the nature of animal rights, also examines their limitations, asking: are there other, complementary ways to reconfigure our relations with non-human animals (such as virtue-based ethics)?How should we treat animals? The long-held belief that other animals exist solely for human use has undergone radical challenge in the past half century. How much further do we need to go to minimize, and even eliminate, animal suffering? The field of animal rights raises big questions about how humans treat the other animals with which we share the planet. These questions are becoming more pressing as livestock farming exerts an ever-greater toll on the planet and the animals themselves, and we learn more about their capacity to think and experience pain. This book shows why animals ought to have greater rights and what the world might look like if they did.1. Introduction 2. A Brief Intellectual History of Animal Rights 3. Rights, Interests and Choices 4. Case Studies: Animals in the Farm, Home, Zoo and Lab 5. Emerging issues: From Mollusc Rights to Animal Citizens 6. Engaging the Imagination: Turning Prejudice into Compassion 7. Conclusion: Beyond Animal Rights?

A chilling exposé of corporate corruption and government cover-ups, this account of a nationwide child-trafficking and pedophilia ring in the United States tells a sordid tale of corruption in high places. The scandal originally surfaced during an investigation into Omaha, Nebraska's failed Franklin Federal Credit Union that went beyond the Midwest, ultimately to Washington, DC. Implicating businessmen, senators, major media corporations, the CIA, and even the venerable Boys Town organization, this extensively researched report includes firsthand interviews with key witnesses and explores a controversy that has received scant media attention.
