Dystopian States of America is a crucial resource that studies the
impact of dystopian works on American society-including ways in
which they reflect our deep and persistent fears about
environmental calamities, authoritarian governments, invasive
technologies, and human weakness. Dystopian States of America
provides students and researchers with an illuminating resource for
understanding the impact and relevance of dystopian and apocalyptic
works in contemporary American culture. Through its wide survey of
dystopian works in numerous forms and genres, the book encourages
readers to connect with these works of fiction and understand how
the catastrophically grim or disquieting worlds they portray offer
insights into our own current situation. In addition to providing
more than 150 encyclopedia articles on a large and representative
sample of dystopian/apocalyptic narratives in fiction, film,
television, and video games (including popular works that often
escape critical inquiry), Dystopian States of America features a
suite of critical essays on five themes-war, pandemics,
totalitarianism, environmental calamity, and technological
overreach-that serve as the foundation for most dystopian worlds of
the imagination. These offerings complement one another, enabling
readers to explore dystopian conceptions of America and the world
from multiple perspectives and vantage points. Provides readers
with an accessible, well-organized, and thorough introduction to
dystopian/apocalyptic narratives, with a focus on the ways that

A mother's advice to her daughter--a guide to daily living, both practical and sublime--with full-color illustrations throughout.
One sleepless night while she was in her early twenties, illustrator/writer Hallie Bateman had a painful realization: her mom would die, and after she died she would be gone. The prospect was devastating, and also scary--how would she navigate the world without the person who gave her life? She thought about all the motherly advice she would miss--advice that could help her through the challenges to come, including the ordeal of losing a parent.
The next day, Hallie asked her mother, writer Suzy Hopkins, to record step-by-step instructions for her to follow in the event of her mom's death. The list began: "Pour yourself a stiff glass of whiskey and make some fajitas" and continued from there, walking Hallie through the days, months, and years of life after loss, with motherly guidance and support, addressing issues great and small--from choosing a life partner to baking a quiche. The project became a way for mother and daughter to connect with humor, openness, and gratitude. It led to this book.
Combining Suzy's wit and heartfelt advice with Hallie's quirky and colorful style, What to Do When I'm Gone is the illustrated instruction manual for getting through life without one's mom. It's also a poignant look at loss, love, and taking things one moment at a time. By turns whimsical, funny, touching, and above all pragmatic, it will leave readers laughing and teary-eyed. And it will spur conversations that enrich family members' understanding of one another.
Created out of the Swamp by a freak accident, Swamp Thing is an
elemental creature who uses the forces of nature and wisdom of the
plant kingdom to fight the polluted world s self-destruction. Alan
Moore took the Swamp Thing to new heights in the 1980s with his
unique narrative approach. His provocative and groundbreaking
writing, combined with masterly artwork by some of the medium s top
artists, made Swamp Thing one of the great comics of the late
twentieth century. Book One begins with the story 'The Anatomy
Lesson,' a haunting origin story that reshapes Swamp Thing
mythology with terrifying revelations that begin a journey of
discovery and adventure that will take him across the stars and
beyond. In this second collection, The Swamp Thing says goodbye to
the illusion of his own humanity after learning that he is 100%
plant, meets a crew of benevolent alien invaders inspired by the
classic comic strip Pogo (also set in the swamp), and consummates
his relationship with Abigail Arcane as only he could. The third
volume is brimming with visceral horrors including underwater
vampires, a werewolf with an unusual curse, the hideous madman
called Nukeface. Best of all, this volume features the comics debut
of John Constantine, Hellblazer, who launches Swamp Thing on a
voyage of self-discovery that will take him from the darkest
corners of America to the roots of his own long-hidden heritage.
Volume four brings Swamp Thing s quest for self-discovery with the
mystic John Constantine to its shattering conclusion. A harbinger
of doom has been released with the sole charge of waking an evil
beyond comprehension, and Swamp Thing, John Constantine, Deadman,
The Phantom Stranger, Etrigan the Demon, The Spectre and other
masters of the occult must unite against the dark forces that
threaten to eradicate Heaven s light. The fifth volume begins as
Swamp Thing returns from his sojourn to hell, only to learn that
his girlfriend Abby is being persecuted for their 'unnatural
relations.' When she skips town for Gotham City, he follows and
runs afoul of Batman, Lex Luthor, and the Gotham City Police
Department. The sixth and final volume collects Moore s entire run,
reprinting issues #57-64 and features the classic stories 'Loving
the Alien' and All Flesh is Grass.'

Inspired by true events, this story of strength, family, and
culture shares the awe-inspiring resilience of Elder Betty Ross.
Abandoned as a young child, Betsy is adopted into a loving family.
A few short years later, at the age of 8, everything changes. Betsy
is taken away to a residential school. There she is forced to

strength, and determination to survive. Sugar Falls is based on the
true story of Betty Ross, Elder from Cross Lake First Nation. We

with a foreword by The Hon. Murray Sinclair, Chair of the Truth and
Reconciliation Commission of Canada, and a touching afterword from
