Supernatural teenage drama directed by Richard LaGravenese and
adapted from the novel by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. A
mysterious young girl, Lena (Alice Englert), moves to a new school
in Gatlin, South Carolina, quickly grabbing the attention of local
boy Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich). When it is revealed that Lena is in
fact a Caster with magic powers and only has a short time before
she faces 'claiming' by either the light or dark side, the pair set
out to find a way to prevent her from going evil, as her mother
did. As they do, they unlock the secrets of their past and discover
they share a connection through history.
It's just after Labor Day, and Martha's Vineyard has started
emptying out, but you can still smell the suntan lotion (the
expensive kind). And the expensive life is just what Simone is
living these days, as personal assistant to Michaela Kell, trophy
wife of an absurdly rich (and often absent) New York ad man. When
Simone's older sister, a social worker from blue collar Buffalo,
comes to visit, lifestyles-and worlds-collide. This keenly observed
comedy about class, family and the choices that sh
First published in 1998, this volume explores the period 1585-1649,
identifying it as rich in innovative drama which challenged the
boundaries between social, political and cultural activities of
various kinds. Molly Smith examines ways in which texts by
Renaissance authors reflect, question and influence their society's
ideological concerns. In the drama of Kyd, Shakespeare, Beaumont
and Fletcher, Webster, Middleton, Massinger and Ford, she
identifies the simultaneously serious and playful appropriation of
popular cultural practices, an appropriation which is expertly
reversed by authorities in the political drama of Charles I's
public trial and execution in 1649. This compelling interpretation
of Renaissance drama will prove of value to students of literature
and social history.

How the law harms sex workers - and what they want instead Do you
have to endorse prostitution in order to support sex worker rights?
Should clients be criminalized, and can the police deliver justice?
In Revolting Prostitutes, sex workers Juno Mac and Molly Smith
bring a fresh perspective to questions that have long been
contentious. Speaking from a growing global sex worker rights
movement, and situating their argument firmly within wider
questions of migration, work, feminism, and resistance to white
supremacy, they make it clear that anyone committed to working
towards justice and freedom should be in support of the sex worker
rights movement.
Hazel, a retired racehorse, dreams about her old days of glory
while a city-dwelling schoolgirl named Edie longs for country air
and green pastures. When Edie is sent to stay with Grandma and
Grandpa Idaho for the summer, she is certain she will find a horse
willing to make her into a real cowgirl. But, Edie learns the hard
truth that not all horses have the patience for little girls.
Hazel's human, Cowboy Tony, recognizes that both Hazel and Edie
need each other, though the two of them are unsure of that at
first. Until, of course, their friendship grows.
