The 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was
supposed to be a stepping stone, a policy innovation announced by
the White House designed to put pressure on Congress for a broader,
lasting set of legislative changes. Those changes never
materialized, and the people who hoped to benefit from them have
been forced to navigate a tense and contradictory policy landscape
ever since, haunted by these unfulfilled promises. Legal Phantoms
tells their story. After Congress failed to pass a comprehensive
immigration bill in 2013, President Obama pivoted in 2014 to
supplementing DACA with a deferred action program (known as DAPA)
for the parents of citizens and lawful permanent residents and a
DACA expansion (DACA+) in 2014. But challenges from Republican-led
states prevented even these programs from going into effect.
Interviews with would-be applicants, immigrant-rights advocates,
and government officials reveal how such failed immigration-reform
efforts continue to affect not only those who had hoped to benefit,
but their families, communities, and the country in which they have
made an uneasy home. Out of the ashes of these lost dreams, though,
people find their own paths forward through uncharted legal
territory with creativity and resistance.

This new introductory mechanics textbook is written for engineering
students within further and higher education who are looking to
bridge the gap between A-Level and university or college. It
introduces key concepts in a clear and straightforward manner, with
reference to real-world applications and thoroughly explains each
line of mathematical development. Together with instructive
diagrams, case studies and many questions to work through, this
text will ensure a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of
mechanics. An enclosed CD-ROM also contains 'Personal Tutor'
electronic step-by-step worked examples, with voice-over
commentary, which take the student through sample problems and
solutions.This book is suitable for students of: mechanical

Dennis Hopper (1936-2010) was one of most charismatic and protean
figures to emerge from the American independent film movement of
the 1960s and '70s, an incredibly compelling screen presence who
helped give cult classics like Easy Rider and Blue Velvet their
off-kilter appeal. But his artistic interests went far beyond
acting, and this collection of essays is the first major work to
take in Hopper as a creative artist in all his fields of endeavour,
from acting and directing to photography, sculpture, and
expressionist painting. Stephen Naish doesn't skimp on covering
Hopper's best-known work, but he breaks new ground in putting it in
context with his other creative enterprises, showing how one medium
informs another, and how they offer a portrait of an artist who was
restless, even flawed at times, but always aiming to live up to his
motto: create or die. Follow the podcasts by Steve Naish here
