Blackmailed to find a cursed U-boat? Treasure Hunter and thrill seeker Mark Reynolds finds himself embattled against the forces of evil in this debut Action/Horror/Thriller by shipwreck explorer Matthew Smathers. When a secret society threatens his life, Mark Reynolds must enlist the help of dive master Andréa McCawl, and her wisecracking best friend Jack Walker to locate and salvage the wreck of a world war two submarine, impossibly located where no such vessel should exist. Together, they must use their wit and skill to solve a 70yr old mystery, and escape with their lives... but, as tensions escalate and the body count rises, the trio soon begins to realize that the greatest threat lies not from their dangerous associates beside them, but rather beneath them in that Hell Below.

The Speaker of the House

A Study of Leadership

By: Matthew N. Green

Matthew N. Green provides the first comprehensive analysis of how the Speaker of the House has exercised legislative leadership from 1940 to the present. Green finds that the Speaker’s party loyalty is tempered by a host of competing objectives, including reelection, passage of desired public policy laws, handling the interests of the president, and meeting the demands of the House as a whole.

Paving Paradise

Florida's Vanishing Wetlands and the Failure of No Net Loss

By: Craig Pittman,Matthew Waite

Florida possesses more wetlands than any other state except Alaska, yet since 1990 more than 84,000 acres have been lost to development despite presidential pledges to protect them. How and why the state's wetlands are continuing to disappear is the subject of Paving Paradise. Journalists Craig Pittman and Matthew Waite spent nearly four years investigating the political expedience, corruption, and negligence on the part of federal and state agencies that led to a failure to enforce regulations on developers. They traveled throughout the state, interviewed hundreds of people, dug through thousands of documents, and analyzed satellite imagery to identify former wetlands that were now houses, stores, and parking lots. Exposing the unseen environmental consequences of rampant sprawl, Pittman and Waite explain how wetland protection creates the illusion of environmental protection while doing little to stem the tide of destruction.

Fugitive Time

Global Aesthetics and the Black Beyond

By: Matthew Omelsky

In Fugitive Time, Matthew Omelsky theorizes the embodied experience of time in twentieth- and twenty-first-century black artforms from across the world. Through the lens of time, he charts the sensations and coursing thoughts that accompany desires for freedom as they appear in the work of artists as varied as Toni Morrison, Yvonne Vera, Aimé Césaire, and Issa Samb. “Fugitive time” names a distinct utopian desire directed at the anticipated moment when the body and mind have been unburdened of the violence that has consumed black life globally for centuries, bringing with it a new form of being. Omelsky shows how fugitive time is not about attaining this transcendent release but is instead about sustaining the idea of it as an ecstatic social gathering. From the desire for ethereal queer worlds in the Black Audio Film Collective’s Twilight City to Sun Ra’s transformation of nineteenth-century scientific racism into an insurgent fugitive aesthetic, Omelsky shows how fugitive time evolves and how it remains a dominant form of imagining freedom in global black cultural expression.
