This book is a blue print on the steps that must be taken to make America great again.

It addresses America's problems from war to health care; from energy and nuclear power to global warming; from illegal immigrants to reinstitution of the draft of all young Americans; from a national registration system for all Americans to a practical solution to the financial difficulties of Social Security. The views and solutions to these problems are expressed through the eyes of Richard Michael White, a seventy-one year old man who holds advanced degrees in both engineering and mathematics. As Richard's life progresses from being a student in high school, to serving as an Army Officer on active duty, to a thirty year professional career, to his eventual, early retirement at the age of fifty-seven, his view of America's most pressing problems changes and solidifies into a coherent and detailed plan on solving these problems.

The book begins as Richard describes the differences in the current world from 1957 when he graduated from high school to the present. He discusses Christianity and concludes that he might, or might not, be a Christian depending or your definition what it takes to be a Christian. He deals with the topics of love, sex, marriage, and divorce, and shows that although they are all related, they are all different. He believes that the most pressing problem facing the world is population growth.

Richard addresses the subject of America's energy dependence and pushes for an expansion of nuclear power. He also presses for the development of nuclear power from the element Thorium. He lays out a detailed blueprint to address Thorium's usage in power generation as well as using government owned Thorium nuclear reactors for coal gasification, shale oil extraction, and seawater desalination.

While the role of metaphor in economics and business has produced multiple research articles, no comprehensive book-length study has yet appeared. The present book is a timely attempt to fill this gap, giving a global coverage of the role of metaphor in business and economics. It spans time (from Classical Greece to the current business network meeting-room), space (from Europe through the Americas to Asia), cultures and languages (from continental European languages, Brazilian Portuguese to Chinese). The theoretical grounding of the book is the Conceptual Theory of Metaphor taken in a dynamic sense as evolving with on-going research. The theory is thus used, adapted and refined in accordance with the evidence provided. Metaphor is shown to be theory constitutive in the elaboration of economic thinking down through the ages while, at the same time, the emphasis on evidence open to historical, cross-cultural and cross-linguistic considerations align with the current notion of situatedness. The book is a rich source of information for researchers and students in the fields of Metaphor Studies, Economics, Discourse Analysis, and Communication Studies, among others.

- Accessible essays that are designed to serve as a touchstone for discussion in the classroom both at postgraduate and advanced undergraduate levels. - Addresses historical anti-feminisms as a means of framing, situating, and interrogating the relationship between contemporary feminisms and anti-feminist manipulations and denigrations. - Engages with the quandary of how to define feminism and live feminist lives in relation to a dense web of pejorative language and concepts that flourish in popular culture. - Actively explores feminist struggles to acknowledge and incorporate people of color, anti-racist and LGBTQIA+ individuals and politics, and relates this to the ways anti-feminists have strategically deployed these debates to thwart the associated movements.

Partisan or Neutral? critically examines the Rawlsian ideal of a public, supposedly neutral, political theory meant to justify contemporary constitutional democracies. Placing this ideal-appealed to by neo-natural law theorists and advocates of 'public theology' as well as by political theorists-against the background of the history of political liberalism, White shows its contradictory nature. He argues that any such legitimating theory will be 'partisan,' in the sense of appealing to convictions concerning the human good that will not be universally accepted. He concludes that all politics must be imperfect-a matter of pragmatism and prudence in forming the most workable compromises possible and in acquiescing, where our principles allow us to do so, in situations that are often far from optimal.

Thoughtful, witty, and illuminating, in this book Michele White explores the ways normative masculinity is associated with computers and the Internet and is a commonly enacted online gender practice. Through close readings and a series of case studies that range from wedding forums to men's makeup video tutorials, White considers the ways masculinities are structured through people's collaborations and contestations over the establishment of empowered positions, including debates about such key terms and positions as "the nice guy," "nerd," "bro," and "groom." She asserts that cultural notions of masculinity are reliant on figurations of women and femininity, and explores cultural conceptions of masculinity and the association of normative white heterosexual masculinity with men and women. A counterpart to her earlier book, Producing Women, White has crafted an excellent primer for scholars of gender, media, and Internet studies.
