Saving Bobby

Heroes and Heroin in One Small Community

By: Renee Hodges

When Renee Hodges invited her nephew, Bobby, to come stay with her for a few weeks so he could visit a doctor about his back pain, she knew he was recovering from an addiction to prescription painkillers. She believed that if he could address his back problems, he would have a better chance of staying clean—but she had no idea what a roller coaster ride she was getting on. Unlike other books about addiction, Saving Bobby begins after rehab is over. Told in part through journal entries, e-mails, and personal recollections, this raw, honest, deeply moving memoir—begun to keep the family accountable—describes the sixteen months that Hodges, her husband, and their community struggled alongside Bobby as he attempted to successfully re-enter the day-to-day world. Using a holistic and open approach, the shame and stigma associated with addiction was lessened—and ultimately, Bobby learned he had to save himself. A gripping and heartrending story of survival, Saving Bobby is an essential, timely read for those concerned about America’s most pressing epidemic.

After all, she's been spoiled rotten ever since she witnessed her mother's death as a child, and she's made the most of it-especially with her dad. So when her oldest friend, Deborah, begins to date a fine-looking, fine-acting man named Darren-Babysister doesn't think twice: she wants Darren for herself. And what Babysister wants... There are just a few little problems with their secret love affair. Babysister's devoted boyfriend is one. And Darren's lingering doubts about dumping Deborah--light-skinned, church-going, beautiful--is another. But Babysister won't let go, even after Darren crawls back to Deborah--and marries her. Following her love-crazed heart, Babysister jeopardizes friendship, family, and her own self-esteem, until a little dose of reality shows her how much she's been missing all along.

Mind Over Media: Propaganda Education for a Digital Age

By: Renee Hobbs

Winner of the AAP 2021 PROSE Award for Excellence in Social Sciences. Propaganda is inescapable. It’s everywhere. Students need to analyze, resist, critique—and create. Media literacy educators have always insisted that we are both creators and receivers of media messages. The truth of this is even more apparent in today’s digital environment, with children and adults alike participating in a ubiquitous, nonstop stream of social media. Clearly, students need the tools to interpret news and information critically—not just for school but for life in a “post-truth” world, where the lines blur between entertainment, information, and persuasion. Renee Hobbs demonstrates how a global perspective on contemporary propaganda enables educators to stimulate both the intellectual curiosity and the cultural sensitivities of students. Replete with classroom and online learning activities and samples of student work, Mind Over Media provides a state-of-the-art look at the theory and practice of propaganda in contemporary society, and shows how to build learners’ critical thinking and communication skills on topics including computational propaganda, content marketing, fake news, and disinformation.

Ladybug Junction

By: Renee Barnes

A wave of terror ran through Mayor Essenfeld as he received the news that the crows were on a rampage. Their goal was to destroy all the tiny insect villages within the Evergreen Wood. The mayor was frantically trying to consider his options when Spike the turtle appears and offers his assistance. Spike suggests that they go over to see Katrinka and the other forest friends. He believes that with everyone helping, they will be able to find a solution and save the insect villages. The mayor and the other ladybugs pile on Spike’s back for a rather wild ride to Katrinka’s house. The mayor was happy to see that so many friends were already there and quickly reveals the terrible news. Katrinka remembers that she had heard of a giant spider with the ability to spin enormous webs with unbelievable strength. She thought that if this spider could spin a large and very strong web over the entrance of Ladybug Junction the crows would be stopped. The problem was that no one really knew where this mysterious spider lived or if he would even consider assisting them. However, armed with courage and a great deal of faith, the little band of friends, led by Katrinka the frog, Kopan the wood fairy, Winslow the owl and Montebello the mushroom, along with the other forest pals, they fearlessly depart to pursue what could prove to be a very dangerous mission.

Possessing Polynesians

The Science of Settler Colonial Whiteness in Hawai`i and Oceania

Possessing Polynesians

The Science of Settler Colonial Whiteness in Hawai`i and Oceania

By: Maile Renee Arvin

From their earliest encounters with Indigenous Pacific Islanders, white Europeans and Americans asserted an identification with the racial origins of Polynesians, declaring them to be racially almost white and speculating that they were of Mediterranean or Aryan descent. In Possessing Polynesians Maile Arvin analyzes this racializing history within the context of settler colonialism across Polynesia, especially in Hawai‘i. Arvin argues that a logic of possession through whiteness animates settler colonialism, by which both Polynesia (the place) and Polynesians (the people) become exotic, feminized belongings of whiteness. Seeing whiteness as indigenous to Polynesia provided white settlers with the justification needed to claim Polynesian lands and resources. Understood as possessions, Polynesians were and continue to be denied the privileges of whiteness. Yet Polynesians have long contested these classifications, claims, and cultural representations, and Arvin shows how their resistance to and refusal of white settler logic have regenerated Indigenous forms of recognition.

Joe Biden’s Policies on Abortion and Immigration

By: Jo Renee Formicola

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Joe Biden’s Policies on Abortion and Immigration

The Challenges of a Catholic President

By: Jo Renee Formicola

The first part of Joe Biden’s Policies on Abortion and Immigration examines the policy quandaries that arise from the fact that President Biden considers himself a liberal, a Catholic, and a Democrat. That self-identification has challenged aspects of his leadership and governance that have resulted in growing national controversies surrounding his abortion and immigration policies. Thus, this book articulates Catholic moral and social teachings on these issues, the president’s perceived religious beliefs that often clash with his personal views and values, as well as his opposing political responses to them. It also explains his partisan actions to abortion and immigration that include numerous executive orders, appointments of individuals who are unable to help him develop solutions to such critical matters, and his criticisms of the Congress, the Supreme Court, and previous administration officials. The second part of this book, then, gives examples of how policy difficulties have been overcome by various government leaders who have also dealt with critical decision-making and agenda options. It provides historical models, management methods, communication strategies, and religious principles that can be utilized to create pragmatic solutions to the problems of immigration and abortion. They can also be implemented by the president while also helping him to instill a sense of unity and justice on these policy issues in the United States.

Frederick Douglass O'Neal

Pioneer of the Actors' Equity Association

By: Renee A. Simmons

First published in 1996. Despite national recognition as President of Actors’ Equity Association (AEA), pioneering efforts as co-founder of the American Negro Theatre, high visibility as one of the first black performers on television, and the notoriety of being blacklisted by the House Un-American Activities Committee, Frederick Douglass 0‘Neal remains a man about whom Americans naively ask: "Who was Frederick Douglass O’Neal?" The same question might be asked of numerous other historically significant black Americans. This book, which examines O’Neal’s sixty-year professional career until his retirement from AEA, adds a few significant pages to this missing history.

History of the Common Law

The Development of Anglo-American Legal Institutions

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

History of the Common Law

The Development of Anglo-American Legal Institutions

By: John H. Langbein,Renee Lettow Lerner,Bruce P. Smith

This introductory text explores the historical origins of the main legal institutions that came to characterize the Anglo-American legal tradition, and to distinguish it from European legal systems. The book contains both text and extracts from historical sources and literature. The book is published in color, and contains over 250 illustrations, many in color, including medieval illuminated manuscripts, paintings, books and manuscripts, caricatures, and photographs. Two great themes dominate the book: (1) the origins, development, and pervasive influence of the jury system and judge/jury relations across eight centuries of Anglo-American civil and criminal justice; and (2) the law/equity division, from the emergence of the Court of Chancery in the fourteenth century down through equity's conquest of common law in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The chapters on criminal justice explore the history of pretrial investigation, policing, trial, and sentencing, as well as the movement in modern times to nonjury resolution through plea bargaining. Considerable attention is devoted to distinctively American developments, such as the elective bench, and the influence of race relations on the law of criminal procedure. Other major subjects of this book include the development of the legal profession, from the serjeants, barristers, and attorneys of medieval times down to the transnational megafirms of twenty-first century practice; the literature of the law, especially law reports and treatises, from the Year Books and Bracton down to the American state reports and today's electronic services; and legal education, from the founding of the Inns of Court to the emergence and growth of university law schools in the United States.
