A lyrical novel following an idealistic student who explores the power of literature in Franco's Spain. It's the summer of 1963 and Leon Egea, a cocky nineteen-year-old student and aspiring author, has just finished his first year studying literature at the University of Granada and is starting a summer job as an encyclopedia salesman. Leon, infuriated by the injustices in Spanish society under the Franco dictatorship, comes to find that literature can speak the truth when the reality is clouded. In this coming-of-age novel by renowned Spanish writer Luis Garcia Montero, Leon discovers that, under the repressive Franco dictatorship, people, places, and events are not always what they seem. But literature, words, and names open paths to discovery, both personal and political. Through lyrical fast-paced narrative, Someone Speaks Your Name explores literature as a foundation for understanding human relationships, national character, discrete differences between right and wrong, and for pursuing the path forward. As Leon's professor tells him: "Learning to write is learning to see."

Not every girl is a modern pioneer raised in the backwoods. Katy King writes eloquently of her life growing up, poor in material wealth, but rich in experience and humor. Her childhood was one that most kids can only dream of. But a life-changing experience at twelve left her an older and wiser young woman. Katy had to grow up in an instant, to become someone capable of making a life-and-death decision. Her carefree childhood is gone forever, but its magic lives on in this inspiring story. Sharing in her wisdom and life perspective is a joy. In the tradition of Ralph Moody's Little Britches, Katy King spins an episodic tale which will give you many chuckles and bring an occasional tear to your eye.

Since the 1990s, the ways that knowledge is created and used have changed. "Flexible knowledges," collaborative experiments across specialized communities of practice, have become increasingly important. By analyzing reenactments, Katie King highlights some of the challenges, and pleasures, posed by experiments in flexible knowledges. Focusing on science-styled TV programs, such as NOVA's "Secrets of Lost Empires" series, and museum exhibitions, including "Science in American Life" at the Smithsonian, she describes how scholars, curators, historians, television producers, authors, journalists, hobbyists, and others were compelled to work together to communicate complex technical knowledge across multiple media platforms. With limited authorial control, they sought to reach widely differing local audiences, and to do so against a background of national interests, changing technologies, the dynamics of globalization, and the restructuring of the knowledge, culture, and entertainment industries. King points to elements common to the more successful reenactments: fine-grained analysis; attention to multiple perspectives and scales, from the visual to the temporal; and the participation of audience members engaged affectively and imaginatively. Based on her assessment of the recent past, King posits the emergence of a feminist posthumanities.
