The first edited collection of scholarly essays to focus
exclusively on An Collins, this volume examines the significance of
an important religious and political poet from seventeenth-century
England. The book celebrates Collins's writing within her own time
and ours through a comprehensive assessment of her poetics,
literary, religious and political contexts, critical reception, and
scholarly tradition. An Collins and the Historical Imagination
engages with the complete arc of research and interpretation
concerning Collins's poetry from 1653 to the present. The volume
defines the center and circumference of Collins scholarship for
twenty-first century readers. The book's thematically linked
chapters and appendices provide a multifaceted investigation of An
Collins's writing, religious and political milieu, and literary
legacy within her time and ours.

-Roland Lazenby, author of Michael Jordan The definitive biography
of Steve Kerr, the championship-winning basketball player and head
coach of the record-breaking Golden State Warriors Few individuals
have had a career as storied, and improbable, as Steve Kerr. He has
won eight NBA titles-five as a player and three as a coach-for
three different franchises. He played alongside the best players of
a generation, from Michael Jordan to Shaquille O'Neal to Tim
Duncan, and learned the craft of basketball under four legendary
coaches. He was an integral part of two famed NBA dynasties.
Perhaps no other figure in basketball history has had a hand in
such greatness. In Steve Kerr, award-winning sports journalist
Scott Howard-Cooper uncovers the fascinating life story of a
basketball legend. Kerr did not follow a traditional path to the
NBA. He was born in Beirut to two academics and split his childhood
between California and the Middle East. Though he was an impressive
shooter, the undersized Kerr garnered almost no attention from
major college programs, managing only at the last moment to snag
the final scholarship at the University of Arizona. Then, during
his freshman season at Arizona, tragedy struck. His father,
Malcolm, then the president of the American University of Beirut,
was assassinated in Lebanon by terrorists. Forged by the crucible
of this family saga, Steve went on to chart an unparalleled life in
basketball, on the court and on the sidelines. The only coach other
than Red Auerbach to lead a team to the Finals five consecutive
seasons, Kerr seems destined for the Basketball Hall of Fame. Steve
Kerr is his incredible story, offering insights into the man and
what it takes to be-and make-a champion. Drawing upon Scott
Howard-Cooper's years covering Warriors, deep archival research,
and original interviews with more than one hundred of the central
characters in Kerr's life, this is basketball biography at its
finest.
Discussions about the meaning of terrorism are enduring in everyday
language, government policy, news reporting, and international
politics. And disagreements about both the definition and the class
of violent events that constitute terrorism contribute to the
difficulty of formulating effective responses aimed at the
prevention and management of the threat of terrorism and the
development of counterterrorism policies. Constructions of
Terrorism collects works from the leading scholars on terrorism
from an array of disciplines-including communication, political
science, sociology, global studies, and public policy-to establish
appropriate research frameworks for understanding how we construct
our understanding of terrorism.
