cidade de Willowbrook há muito tempo estava sob a sombra de uma maldição antiga, relacionada ao desaparecimento misterioso de uma menininha chamada Emily na floresta próxima. A cidade vivia com medo da lenda de Emily, e todos evitavam a floresta. No entanto, a jovem corajosa Sarah decidiu enfrentar essa maldição e descobrir a verdade por trás da história de Emily. Sarah entrou na floresta sombria e encontrou Emily, uma figura pálida e vestida de branco, balançando-se em um balanço na clareira. Emily revelou que estava perdida e desejando ser encontrada por alguém corajoso o suficiente. Ela propôs um pacto sombrio com Sarah, que aceitou, comprometendo-se a desvendar a maldição de Willowbrook. Juntas, Sarah e Emily investigaram os segredos da cidade, descobrindo que Willowbrook havia sido amaldiçoada devido a um antigo pacto sombrio feito por seus líderes corruptos. A cidade estava condenada por seus erros do passado, e a maldição havia aprisionado a alma de Emily e de outros. Após reunir objetos e memórias relacionados ao pacto sombrio, Sarah e Emily realizaram um ritual de purificação na clareira da floresta. O ritual teve sucesso, quebrando a maldição e libertando Willowbrook da escuridão que a assombrava. Emily finalmente encontrou a paz, e a cidade começou a se renovar. Os habitantes de Willowbrook aprenderam a lição de suas ações passadas e se uniram para reconstruir a cidade, fortalecendo os laços comunitários e valorizando a natureza. Willowbrook se tornou um símbolo de superação e renovação, e Sarah continuou a contar a história de Emily como um lembrete constante da importância de enfrentar o passado sombrio e buscar a redenção. Esta é a história de Redenção em Willowbrook , que destaca a luta contra uma maldição antiga, a busca pela verdade e a capacidade de uma comunidade de se redimir e encontrar a luz no fim do túnel.

In 1977, Jeremy Tunstall published the landmark The Media Are American. In it, he argued that while much of the mass media originated in Europe and elsewhere, the United States dominated global media because nearly every mass medium became industrialized within the United States. With this provocative follow-up, Tunstall chronicles the massive changes that have taken place in the media over the past forty years--changes that have significantly altered the "balance of power" within the global media landscape. The Media Were American demonstrates that both the United States and its mass media have lost their previous moral leadership. Instead of sole American control of the world news flow, we now see a world media structure comprised of interlocking national, regional, and cultural systems. From a relentlessly global point of view, Tunstall looks closely at China and India--and at their rapidly burgeoning populations--and also at the rise of the mass media in the Muslim world. He considers the role of the media in the collapse of the Soviet Union, the ascendance of the Brazilian and Mexican soap opera, the increasing strength of "Bollywood"--the national cinema output of India--and the relative decline in influence of U.S. media. Reconsidering the very notion of "global media," the book posits a reemergence of stronger national cultures and national media systems.

Although long considered the most distinctive American contribution to philosophy, pragmatism—with its problem-solving emphasis and its contingent view of truth—lost popularity in mid-century after the advent of World War II, the horror of the Holocaust, and the dawning of the Cold War. Since the 1960s, however, pragmatism in many guises has again gained prominence, finding congenial places to flourish within growing intellectual movements. This volume of new essays brings together leading philosophers, historians, legal scholars, social thinkers, and literary critics to examine the far-reaching effects of this revival. As the twenty-five intellectuals who take part in this discussion show, pragmatism has become a complex terrain on which a rich variety of contemporary debates have been played out. Contributors such as Richard Rorty, Stanley Cavell, Nancy Fraser, Robert Westbrook, Hilary Putnam, and Morris Dickstein trace pragmatism’s cultural and intellectual evolution, consider its connection to democracy, and discuss its complex relationship to the work of Emerson, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein. They show the influence of pragmatism on black intellectuals such as W. E. B. Du Bois, explore its view of poetic language, and debate its effects on social science, history, and jurisprudence. Also including essays by critics of the revival such as Alan Wolfe and John Patrick Diggins, the volume concludes with a response to the whole collection from Stanley Fish. Including an extensive bibliography, this interdisciplinary work provides an in-depth and broadly gauged introduction to pragmatism, one that will be crucial for understanding the shape of the transformations taking place in the American social and philosophical scene at the end of the twentieth century.

The essays collected in this volume provide students of ethics with essential tools for making sense of emerging biotechnical capacities and the turbulent power relations these capacities are bringing into the world. Unlike previous reference works in bioethics, which focus on specific domains of human activity (such as genetic research or biomedicine), this volume directs students’ attention to the underlying cultural and institutional forces that shape how biotechnologists approach the world, and teaches students how to weigh the ethical significance of these forces. This innovative approach to the ethics of biotechnology, detailed in the volume’s introduction, equips students to track the dynamic interplay of biology, digital technology and the high-tech economy which is remaking the living world today and the human relation to it.

Now available for the first time in America, I, Cyborg is the story of Kevin Warwick, the cybernetic pioneer advancing science by upgrading his own body. Warwick, the world's leading expert in cybernetics, explains how he has deliberately crossed over a perilous threshold to take the first practical steps toward becoming a cyborg--part human, part machine--using himself as a guinea pig and undergoing surgery to receive technological implants connected to his central nervous system. Believing that machines with intelligence far beyond that of humans will eventually make the important decisions, Warwick investigates whether we can avoid obsolescence by using technology to improve on our comparatively limited capabilities. Warwick also discusses the implications for human relationships, and his wife's participation in the experiments. Beyond the autobiography of a scientist who became, in part, a machine, I, Cyborg is also a story of courage, devotion, and endeavor that split apart personal lives. The results of these amazing experiments have far-reaching implications not only for e-medicine, extra-sensory input, increased memory and knowledge, and even telepathy, but for the future of humanity as well.
