The essays collected in this volume were written over the last twenty or so years and were all originally published (with one exception) in a variety of journals and edited collections. The topics covered range from contemporary Native American literature to war literature and cinema, from the revisionist Western film to the prose of Ralph Waldo Emerson and other writers who struggled to think of peace as something different from the peace that can be safeguarded by an unending preparedness for war. As a whole, this book attempts to gauge to what extent both film and narrative can point in the direction of that “one step beyond the hero” which Emerson (in his early years) saw as necessary to becoming true peace fighters. Though “One Step Beyond the Hero” shows how difficult it is to imagine (let alone realize) a world free of violence, brutality, and coercion, its goal is not to undermine the Utopian desire for a non-violent future. On the contrary, by calling attention to how writers and filmmakers deal with both violence and war, this study engages in a critical scrutiny of culture based on the notion that peace should be another word for justice.

One Step Beyond is an authentic account of a teenage girl’s journey through a devastating health diagnosis in the prime of her adolescence and of a mother's unwavering determination to save her daughter's life. Personal journal entries written by Allison Kelba and her mom, Terry Ducharme, reveal the optimism, light-hearted humour, and practical wisdom both women drew upon time and again while confronting recurring hurdles and heartbreaking setbacks. Kelba’s more recent tragic loss of the person most dear to her forms part of the women’s shared story. One Step Beyond doesn't sugar-coat the harrowing journey of coping with a brain tumour during the teenage years or the anger and pain a mother feels when her only child is suffering. It does reveal the strengths of two women who met the challenges they faced with laughter and steadfast Canadian prairie girl resilience. The private thoughts of Kelba and her mom, along with Kelba’s present-day memories and reflections, also highlight how exceptional challenges are leavened and overcome through day-to-day choices, support from those who care, and the power of enduring love. Readers who may struggle with belief in themselves or in the power of love will be moved by the true gift of these two inspiring women’s voices. Finally, One Step Beyond reveals how “a mom shapes who we are and who we become: our strengths, our attitudes, our versatility – and the love we pass on to others.”

Alex (Sonny Boy) Bellehumeur, author, herein dedicates this journal to Dr. Stuart Farber, dean of students and professor at the College of Business Administration at California State University, who encouraged Alex to publish a book about his life. Cal State Long Beach (CSULB), held special events with hundreds of current and former students each year. Alex Bellehumeur, past president of the Port of Long Beach and then Governor appointee and chairman of the World Trade Commission, was asked by Dr. Farber to be the keynote speaker at one of these affairs in front of over six hundred attendees aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. We met early and began “The Walk”, during which time Dean Farber extracted details of my youth, and believed the audience should know the challenges I was able to overcome. This had nothing to do with my planned speech. Thoughts from Dr. Farber: • “In all my years of hosting this special event, I have never had such an incredible response from the audience.” • “You have changed the lives of many attendees.” • “A book of your past challenges and how they were overcome by taking that ‘one step beyond’ would have a life-changing effect on those whose life’s growth potential would not otherwise be met.” It has been 16 years from when Dr. Farber made such a request, that Alex began the process in the hope of encouraging the readers to take that “One Step Beyond”.

In Xenocitizens, Jason Berger returns to the antebellum United States in order to challenge a scholarly tradition based on liberal–humanist perspectives. Through the concept of the xenocitizen, a synthesis of the terms “xeno,” which connotes alien or stranger, and “citizen,” which signals a naturalized subject of a state, Berger uncovers realities and possibilities that have been foreclosed by dominant paradigms. Innovatively re-orienting our thinking about traditional nineteenth-century figures such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau as well as formative writers such as William Wells Brown, Martin R. Delany, Margaret Fuller, and Harriet Beecher Stowe, Xenocitizens glimpses how antebellum thinkers formulated, in response to varying forms of oppression and crisis, startlingly unique ontological and social models as well as unfamiliar ways to exist and to leverage change. In doing so, Berger offers us a different nineteenth century—pushing our imaginative and critical thinking toward new terrain.

In the gripping conclusion to the New York Times–bestselling Transitions trilogy, Drizzt Do’Urden comes face-to-face with a power that will change Faerûn forever With the collapse of Mystra’s Weave and the onslaught of the Spellplague, all of Faerûn is thrown into chaos. But as magic turns more dangerous and unreliable, an even greater foe presents itself: the Ghost King, an entity that contains the combined might of a dragon, a mind flayer, and the Crenshinibon—the demonic crystal shard thought to be destroyed years ago. When Jarlaxle, a drow mercenary, is targeted by the Ghost King, he knows his life hinges on finding the Deneir priest Cadderly Bonaduce. But to find Cadderly, he must travel to the cathedral in Spirit Soaring, the very place from which he is banned. And to enter Spirit Soaring, he must first recruit his old enemy Drizzt Do’Urden to his cause. When Catti-brie is struck by an errant strand of the Weave, Jarlaxle is able to convince Drizzt and Bruenor that their plights are one and the same. Together, they travel to Spirit Soaring, where the priests and mages of Deneir—led by Cadderly—rush to arm themselves against the Ghost King. But with many losing faith and time quickly running out, the battle ahead looks more than dire than ever. The Ghost King is the third book in the Transitions trilogy and the twenty-second installment in the Legend of Drizzt series.
