In 1815, in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, two of England's
wealthiest lords place a high-stakes wager on whether a popular set
of books, which claim that the author has traveled to many unknown
corners of the globe, are truth or, more likely, wild fiction.
First Light is an epistolary novel, told primarily through the eyes
of former aide-de-camp Gregory Conan Watts, describing the journeys
of the airship Dame Fortuna and its crew through journals and
letters to his beloved fiancee. The first recruit is, necessarily,
the airship's owner: war hero, famed genius, and literal knight in
steam-powered armor Sir James Coltrane. Persuading him to lend his
talents and refitted airship to the venture requires bringing along
his sister, his cousin, and the crew that flew with him during the
Napoleonic Wars. Only with their aid can they track down a Scottish
rifleman, a pair of shady carnies, and a guide with a strong
personal investment in the stories. When they set out, the wild
places of the world, including the far American West, the
Australian interior, darkest Africa, and other destinations are
thought to be hostile enough. No one expects the trip to involve a
legendary storm - or the Year Without a Summer of 1815-1816. The
voyage is further complicated by the human element. Some parties
are not at all happy with the post-war political map. Most
problematic of all, the crew hired by the other side of the wager
seem willing to win by any means necessary. Dawn of Steam: First
Light follows these adventurers, as they open up the world. In the
process, their journey helps lay the foundations for an age of
enlightenment and technology to come.

New Publication Now Available! There is no one strict definition of
family communication, because each family is different. Sarah
Symonds LeBlanc's Casing the Family: Theoretical and Applied
Approaches to Understanding Family Communication fuses case studies
with communication theories to examine various family types and
scenarios that US families encounter. By examining the family and
the scenario from each case study, students are able to critically
analyze and discuss a ""safe"" family. Featuring 35 expertly
written case studies, Casing the Family, is divided into five
comprehensive sections: Changing Nature of Family examines
different types of family and illustrates how much the definition
of family has changed in our culture. Relationships, Parents, and
Culture features a myriad of intercultural and interpersonal issues
such as societal norms, divorce's impact on families, and race
& gender. Negotiation of Boundaries within the Family discusses
in-law relationships, relationships between birth parents and
grandparents, parent-teen communication, and multi-generational
care issues. Dark Side of Family presents the growing epidemic of
addiction with families, how bi-partisan parents' communication
influences their children's beliefs, how family estrangement
affects family's get-togethers, and much more. Health and Family
discusses siblings with mental-disabilities, emotional regulation
theory when dealing with a disease, couples communication through
miscarriage, navigating healthcare and treatment decisions, and
family conflict when adult children have to make health care
decisions about their parents.
