An undercover investigator's moral compass begins to change when
she infiltrates an anarchist group responsible for targeting major
corporations. When the CEOs of high profile companies find
themselves the victims of a number of covert attacks, former FBI
agent Sarah Moss (Brit Marling) is recruited by private
intelligence firm Hiller Brood to gather information on 'The East',
a shadowy eco-activist collective thought to be responsible. After
finally managing to infiltrate the group, however, Sarah discovers
her allegiances beginning to shift, as she increasingly begins to
question the moral uncertainties of her life and finds herself
falling under the spell of the group's charismatic leader Benji
(Alexander Skarsgård).

This book investigates to what extent claims of common social
science risk theories such as risk society, governmentality, risk
and culture, risk colonisation and culture of fear are reflected in
linguistic changes in print news media. The authors provide a
corpus-based investigation of risk words in The New York Times
(1987-2014) and a case study of the health domain. The book
presents results from an interdisciplinary enterprise which
combines sociological risk theories with a systematic functional
theory of language to conduct an empirical analysis of linguistic
patterns and social change. It will be of interest to students and
scholars interested in corpus linguistics and digital humanities,
and social scientists looking for new research strategies to
examine long term social change.

"Fanny Lear: Love and Scandal in Tsarist Russia>/i> tells
the story of Harriet Clarissima Ely Blackford, also known as Fanny
Lear. She was an American courtesan in the late nineteenth century,
a strong, independent woman who refused to accept the restrictions
placed on women by society at the time. In her short,
adventure-filled life, her travels took her from Philadelphia to
the social heights of Europe and ultimately to Tsarist Russia,
where an affair with the Tsar's nephew culminated in her arrest and
expulsion from Russia. Various diplomatic reports from the US State
Department detail the scandalous events and the dire implications
of this ill-fated love affair.
Once out of Russia, she reportedly wrote this account in English
over the course of eleven days and then supervised its translation
into French. Published under the title Le Roman d'une Americaine en
Russie, it was an instant bestseller. It also brought on diplomatic
pressure from Russia that caused her expulsion from France and
Italy, although she continued to be a prominent figure in the
social and celebrity sections of the European media during the
1870s and '80s.
Her account of the twenty-eight months in Russia is a love
story, not only of her love for the Grand Duke, but also for Russia
itself. A few copies of her book survived; it has now been
translated and is presented here.
