This book presents several perspectives on the COVID-19 crisis as
it impacted the United States, focusing on policies, practices, and
patterns. It considers the relationship between government policies
and neo-liberalism, (anti)federalism, economies of scale, and
material culture. The COVID-19 crisis became the primary current
event in the United States in March 2020 and continued for several
years. In the early days of the crisis, the United States lacked a
cohesive, comprehensive approach to combating its spread. As a
result, the pandemic was experienced differently in different parts
of the United States and at different scales. The chapters in this
volume include both quantitative and qualitative explorations of
the pandemic as it occurred in the United States. Collectively,
they help the reader to better understand this geographically
salient issue and provide lessons to learn from so as to improve
upon responses to crises in the future. This book will be of
interest to students and researchers of Geography, Sociology,
Political Science, and Economics with an interest in United States
and the socio-political effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of Geographical Review.
The twentieth century generated tens of thousands of hours of
American newsfilm but not the scholarly apparatus necessary to
analyze and contextualize them. Assembling new approaches to the
study of U.S. newsfilm in cinema and television, this book makes a
long overdue critical intervention in the field of film and media
studies by addressing the format's inherent intermediality; its
mediation of "events" for local, national, and transnational
communities; its distinctive archival legacies; and, consequently,
its integral place in film and television studies more broadly.
This collection brings fresh, contemporary methodologies and
analysis to bear on a vast amount of material that has languished
in relative obscurity for far too long.

Water, Life, and Profit offers a holistic analysis of the people,
economies, cultural symbolism, and material culture involved in the
management, production, distribution, and consumption of drinking
water in the urban context of Niamey, Niger. Paying particular
attention to two key groups of people who provide water to most of
Niamey's residents - door-to-door water vendors, and those who sell
water in one-half-liter plastic bags (sachets) on the street or in
small shops - the authors offer new insights into how Niamey's
water economies affect gender, ethnicity, class, and spatial
structure today.
She danced upon rays of Sunshine and drank the wine of time. Naught
in the world could touch her, high in her lofty place among princes
of the stars and potentates of the mountains. Starlit flowers wove
her blankets and wholesome creatures befriended her; she rested her
head upon daisies in the evening and clothed herself in grasses of
the morning. She was the Wild Miss. She was Liberty. Far from the
verdant lands of Liberty's freedom, across sundry wonders of her
sweet time, an evil ancient as the days grew in the darkest corner
of Whenua. Kino It was called, and It hibernated within the
blackened depths of Mont Ata. With the greatest power of the
deities in Its emblematic hands, this Kino abided below until that
idyllic time when the stolen treasure would rise to its utmost
potency. When that time arrived, naught in the world could have
stayed Kino's cursed hand. Nevertheless, Liberty had to try.

Eleven-year-old Isla has a problem: thunderstorms. Two years ago,
one nightmare of an evening scarred her internally. She has feared
for her life thenceforth, struggling against the post-traumatic
stress controlling her mind. During a particularly grueling
thunderstorm, Isla sought escape and found herself far away from
home in the wilderness of unknown lands. Here she fell into company
with a simpler people. A frantic flight from terror became instead
a journey towards bravery; bravery acquired through her fearful
battle against a kingdom's secret enemy. Will Isla succumb to the
terrible power of her supernatural nemesis, or will she learn how
to become the master of rather than servant to her vicious internal
battles?
