What's in a shadow? Menace, seduction, or salvation? Immaterial but profound, shadows lurk everywhere in literature and the visual arts, signifying everything from the treachery of appearances to the unfathomable power of God. From Plato to Picasso, from Rembrandt to Welles and Warhol, from Lord of the Rings to the latest video game, shadows act as central players in the drama of Western culture. Yet because they work silently, artistic shadows often slip unnoticed past audiences and critics. Conceived as an accessible introduction to this elusive phenomenon, Grasping Shadows is the first book that offers a general theory of how all shadows function in texts and visual media. Arguing that shadow images take shape within a common cultural field where visual and verbal meanings overlap, William Sharpe ranges widely among classic and modern works, revealing the key motifs that link apparently disparate works such as those by Fra Angelico and James Joyce, Clementina Hawarden and Kara Walker, Charles Dickens and Kumi Yamashita. Showing how real-world shadows have shaped the meanings of shadow imagery, Grasping Shadows guides the reader through the techniques used by writers and artists to represent shadows from the Renaissance onward. The last chapter traces how shadows impact the art of the modern city, from Renoir and Zola to film noir and projection systems that capture the shadows of passers-by on streets around the globe. Extending his analysis to contemporary street art, popular songs, billboards, and shadow-theatre, Sharpe demonstrates a practical way to grasp the "dark side" that looms all around us.

In the UK the number of people who came from a minority ethnic group grew by 53 per cent between 1991 and 2001, from 3.0 million in 1991 to 4.6 million in 2001. Whilst much has been written about the impact of these demographic changes in relation to policy issues, black and minority women and children remain under-researched. Recent publications have tended to focus on South Asian women, forced marriage and 'honour' related violence. Moving in the Shadows brings together for the first time in a single volume, an examination of violence against women and children within the diverse communities of the UK. Its strength lies in its gendered focus as well as its understanding of the need for an integrated approach to all forms of violence against women, whilst foregrounding the experiences of minority women, the communities they are part of, and the organizations which have advocated for their rights and given them voice. The chapters contained within this volume explore a set of core themes: the forms and contexts of violence minority women experience; the continuum of violence; the role of culture and faith in the control of women and girls; the types of intervention within multi-cultural and social cohesion policies; the impacts of violence on British-born and migrant women and girls; and the intersection of race, class, gender and sexuality highlighting issues of similarity and difference. Taken together, they provide a valuable resource for scholars, students, activists, social workers and policy-makers working in the field.

In a hidden cave in the mountains of Lebanon, a man brings what has been forbidden for thousands of years out of the darkness and into the light: the Testament of Lucifer. In Istanbul, Bravo Shaw, member of a secret Franciscan splinter sect, is unearthing the chronicle of a conflict most ancient: the war between Good and Evil, waged to a standstill since time immemorial. But now Lucifer's advance guard, the Fallen, has arisen. All of humankind is at risk of being enslaved by the forces of evil. Bravo, his ageless confessor Fra Leoni and his blind sister, Emma, are the first and last line of defence against the unleashed chaos. But they may well forfeit far more than just their lives.

Summary: In the cute town of Lightheart, which is tucked away among quiet hills and whispering woods, four brave friends are drawn into an old story. There are rumors of a dark path that traps them in the unknown and is marked by an old curse. Leo, Mia, Jake, and Zoe decide to solve the secrets that have been haunting their home for a long time by going on a trip that will test their strength and bring them together in ways they never thought possible. With nothing but their unwavering courage and the bonds of their long-lasting friendship, the crew sets out on a journey into the heart of the shrouded route. They run into problems in the form of questions and riddles that block their path. Each one brings them closer to the truth. They are determined and persistent in everything they do, from figuring out the ancient markings on a strange map to facing the scary whispers in the Whispering Woods. Their journey takes a dramatic turn when they find an old rock that is glowing with a soft but strong light. With the help of a road guardian, they figure out that this rock is both where the curse comes from and how to break it. As never before, they fight a war of the shadows that will decide Lightheart's fate as they face the darkness that wants to put out their light. They try to clean the crystal one more time and send out a flash of light that gets rid of the shadows and lifts the curse. The valley, which was dark before, is now filled with light and looks like a beautiful dream. When they get back to Lightheart, there are huge celebrations because they are seen as heroes for finding the truth and making their town better. Generations have learned from the story of the murky road and the brave friends who find a way through it that courage is a virtue, friendship is strong, and light always wins over darkness. Lightheart grows, a tribute to the eternal light that lives inside all of us and a constant warning that light can be found if you're brave enough to look for it, even when things are at their darkest. Chapter 1: the Story Every child in the small village of Lightheart looked forward to a certain activity. In this village, smiles were as common as the flowers that grew everywhere. As the sun went down, the sky would turn orange and pink, and they would gather around a roaring fire, eyes wide with hope. The warm glow of the fire cast swirling shadows behind them, making them look even more scared. Old people in the town, who were wise and wrinkled from age, were about to tell stories that had been told for years. The kids were especially interested in the story about an old trail that was said to be hidden somewhere near their town. People said that this path was cursed by a strong, ancient force and wasn't like any other. The kids leaned in closer, making sure they didn't miss a word as the adults spoke in a respectful but careful way. For those brave enough to cross the road, it was said that the shadows would be so thick that they would feel like they were alive. There were stories about strange sights and sounds, as well as mutterings in the dark that told long-lost secrets. The air around the path was filled with the magic of old spells, and only the bravest people were thought to be brave enough to explore its secrets. The elders warned that the way was guarded by mysteries as old as the stars themselves, illusions that could trick the eyes, and puzzles that could twist the mind. But there was also the idea that overcoming these problems would lead to amazing achievements. The Lightheart kids were very interested in these stories. Their minds were as active as the fires in front of them, making clear pictures of the road that was hidden by the darkness. They dreamed of going on trips to find this interesting road, walking along paths where shadows danced, and finding out what the curse meant. For kids who were brave enough to listen, the story of the old road became a sign of excitement. It was dark outside, and the Lightheart children were very brave when the fire was reduced to glowing coals and the stars started to come out. They dreamed as they went to sleep that they were heroes in their own stories, that they were in myths, and that they found the truth behind the strange path. The story of the old, evil road had a magical effect on the new generation, making them dream, believe, and maybe even go exploring one day.

Named one of Library Journal's Best Books of 2017 "Exceptional first novel."--Publishers Weekly, starred review "Will grip suspense aficionados from the first page."--Library Journal, starred review "A skillfully written, gripping thriller."--Booklist "Action-packed with breakneck pacing."--Foreword Reviews When a day trip out of Las Vegas with his wife takes a turn for the worse, Jack is sure that he has the ability to get them home. But he drove into something far beyond reason. Rescue comes in the form of a desert hermit, but hope fades as the couple comes to realize that the nomad has no intention of letting them leave. A chance encounter with a kidnapped runaway and her crazed abductor leads them all farther into the wilderness--and closer to the cold brutality that isolation brings. At the edge of his sanity, Jack begins to learn that playing by another's rules may be the only way to survive. In a voice that is as hypnotizing as a desert mirage, debut novelist Samuel Parker entices readers down a dangerous road, where the forces of good and evil are as crushing as the Mojave heat. This is suspense in its purest, most unfiltered form.

Inglourious Basterds meets Stranger Things in this dark and thrilling tale of power, shadow, and revenge set during World War II. World War II is raging, and five teens are looking to make a mark. Daniel and Rebeka seek revenge against the Nazis who slaughtered their family; Simone is determined to fight back against the oppressors who ruined her life and corrupted her girlfriend; Phillip aims to prove that he's better than his worst mistakes; and Liam is searching for a way to control the portal to the shadow world he's uncovered, and the monsters that live within it--before the Nazi regime can do the same. When the five meet, and begrudgingly team up, in the forests of Germany, none of them knows what their future might hold. As they race against time, war, and enemies from both this world and another, Liam, Daniel, Rebeka, Phillip, and Simone know that all they can count on is their own determination and will to survive. With their world turned upside down, and the shadow realm looming ominously large--and threateningly close--the course of history and the very fate of humanity rest in their hands. Still, the most important question remains: Will they be able to save it? Praise for The Shadow War: "Nonstop action, consistent worldbuilding, and a large cast of sympathetic characters, all of them marginalized in some way, create an engaging story." --Kirkus Reviews "An action-packed historical novel with a science fiction twist, Smith has crafted a novel where Stranger Things meets Nazi hunting. A solid purchase for YA shelves and any reader who wants to fight Nazis." --School Library Journal
