After architectural student Douglas McKenzie encountered Constance Oakland that February of 1973, he was inspired to create a blueprint for a dreama dream to share. Connie possessed youthful exuberance and an irresistibly free spirit, an airy sorority girl floating in aimless ease. In Douglas she found an acceptance apart from being Armand Oakland's daughter or the proper product of a society mother, and she consented to share his dream. With determination and strength of purpose, Douglas pursed his plan to graduate with honors, establish his career, save the money to build his dream house, and marry Connie after she graduated. However, planning his life too rigidly caused underlying tensions. Diverse lifestyles, outside influences, astronomical costs, deception, temptation, a broken engagement, and a critical illness threatened to demolish the dream. A dream is a wonderful thing to share, but life cannot be built upon it, for it is only an illusion. Life must be built on the solid foundation of faith in God. Connie and Douglas eventually put their faith in Jesus, but what will it take for them to put their faith into action so they can share their dream in committed, wedded love?
In Beyond Mothering Earth, Sherilyn MacGregor argues that celebrations of "earthcare" as women's unique contribution to the search for sustainability often neglect to consider the importance of politics and citizenship in women's lives. Drawing on interviews with women who juggle private caring with civic engagement in quality-of-life concerns, she proposes an alternative: a project of feminist ecological citizenship that affirms the practice of citizenship as an intrinsically valuable activity while allowing foundational aspects of caring labour and natural processes to flourish. Beyond Mothering Earth provides an original and empirically grounded understanding of women's involvement in quality-of-life activism and an analysis of citizenship that makes an important contribution to contemporary discussions of green politics, globalization, neoliberalism, and democratic justice.

Beloved by young girls around the world, Hasbro's My Little Pony franchise has been mired in controversy since its debut in the early 1980s. Critics dismissed the cartoons as toy advertisements, and derided their embrace of femininity.

This first comprehensive study of My Little Pony explores the history and cultural significance of the franchise through Season 5 of Friendship Is Magic and the first three Equestria Girls films. The brand has continued to be on the receiving end of a sexist double standard regarding commercialism in children's entertainment, while masculine cartoons such as the Transformers have been spared similar criticism.

I'm not crazy...I'm allergic After a lifetime of dealing with what she was told was depression, "Julie" found that her problem wasn't all mysterious and uncontrollable chemical reactions.

The story of Star Trek's resurrection between the 1969 cancellation of the original series and the 1979 release of Robert Wise's Star Trek--The Motion Picture, has become legend and like so many other legends, it tends to get printed instead of the facts. Drawing on hundreds of contemporary news articles and primary sources not seen in decades, this book tells the true story of the first successful Star Trek revival. After several attempts to relaunch the franchise, ST--TMP was released on a wave of prestige promotion, hype, and public frenzy unheard of for a film based on a television show. Controversy surrounded its troubled production and $44M budget, earning it a reputation at the time as the most expensive movie ever made. After a black-tie premiere in Washington, D.C., its opening in 856 North American theaters broke multiple box-office records--a harbinger of the modern blockbuster era. Despite immediate financial success, the film was panned by both critics and the public, leaving this enterprise nowhere to boldly go but down.
