Chain of Title

Chain of Title

By :"David Dayen"
Published on 2016-05-17 by New Press, The

Category :"Business & Economics"

In the depths of the Great Recession, a cancer nurse, a car dealership worker, and an insurance fraud specialist helped uncover the largest consumer crime in American history—a scandal that implicated dozens of major executives on Wall Street. They called it foreclosure fraud: millions of families were kicked out of their homes based on false evidence by mortgage companies that had no legal right to foreclose. Lisa Epstein, Michael Redman, and Lynn Szymoniak did not work in government or law enforcement. They had no history of anticorporate activism. Instead they were all foreclosure victims, and while struggling with their shame and isolation they committed a revolutionary act: closely reading their mortgage documents, discovering the deceit behind them, and building a movement to expose it. Fiscal Times columnist David Dayen recounts how these ordinary Floridians challenged the most powerful institutions in America armed only with the truth—and for a brief moment they brought the corrupt financial industry to its knees.

Blutsauger zwischen Emanzipation und Konservativismus: Umcodierung von Genrekonventionen in den Vampirromanen von Stephenie Meyer und Wolfgang Hohlbein

Blutsauger zwischen Emanzipation und Konservativismus: Umcodierung von Genrekonventionen in den Vampirromanen von Stephenie Meyer und Wolfgang Hohlbein

By :"Kristof Beuthner"
Published on 2012-07 by Diplomarbeiten Agentur

Category :"Foreign Language Study"

Stephenie Meyers 'Bis(s)...'-Reihe befand sich in den vergangenen Jahren mit Millionen verkaufter Exemplare stets an der Spitze der internationalen Buch-Bestsellerlisten. In dem popul„rsten Werk der amerikanischen Autorin, das mittlerweile in f\u0081nf Spielfilmen auch f\u0081r das Kino aufbereitet wurde, vermischt sie die literarischen Genres Liebes- und Vampirroman und begeistert mit dieser Mixtur vor allem jugendliche Leser und Zuschauer - und auch immer mehr Erwachsene. Besonders durch die filmische Umsetzung und den Starkult um die Schauspieler Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson und Taylor Lautner sind Meyers Vampire des 21. Jahrhunderts mehr Popstar, Idol und Symbol, als es Graf Dracula jemals war. Die Vampire sind in der Neuzeit angekommen. Doch was steckt hinter dem Genremix; was ist es, das den Vampir als eine der „ltesten Gestalten der Phantastik immer wieder aufs Neue als interessante und faszinierende Figur definiert? Kristof Beuthner ist der Sache auf den Grund gegangen. Er blickt zur\u0081ck auf die st„ndige Ver„nderung des Vampirs von einer Gestalt aus Sagen und Mythen bis hin zum popul„rkulturellen Symbol. Im stetigen Vergleich der 'Bis(s)...'-Reihe mit einem deutschst„mmigen Pendant, Wolfgang Hohlbeins 'Wir sind die Nacht', untersucht er, inwiefern zeitgen”ssische AutorInnen durch ein geschicktes Umcodieren der Genrekonventionen den Nachtschw„rmer wieder f\u0081r eine so groáe Leserzahl spannend und attraktiv machen. Er deckt die besonderen Genderkonstruktionen in den 'Bis(s)...'-B„nden auf, und sucht auch im philosophischen, vor allem aber im religi”sen Subtext nach Erkl„rungen. Oder ist es gar die Jugend selbst, die durch das Schaffen immer neuer, eigener Subkulturen (wie etwa der sogenannten Emo-Kultur) die Vorlage f\u0081r die 'neuen Vampire' in der Geschichte von Bella und Edward liefert?

I Am Not A Serial Killer

I Am Not A Serial Killer

By :"Dan Wells"
Published on 2010-03-30 by Macmillan

Category :"Fiction"

John Wayne Cleaver is dangerous, and he knows it. He's spent his life doing his best not to live up to his potential. He's obsessed with serial killers, but really doesn't want to become one. So for his own sake, and the safety of those around him, he lives by rigid rules he's written for himself, practicing normal life as if it were a private religion that could save him from damnation. Dead bodies are normal to John. He likes them, actually. They don't demand or expect the empathy he's unable to offer. Perhaps that's what gives him the objectivity to recognize that there's something different about the body the police have just found behind the Wash-n-Dry Laundromat---and to appreciate what that difference means. Now, for the first time, John has to confront a danger outside himself, a threat he can't control, a menace to everything and everyone he would love, if only he could. Dan Wells's debut novel, I Am Not a Serial Killer, is the first volume of a trilogy that will keep you awake and then haunt your dreams. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Spiritual Care

Spiritual Care

By :"Dietrich Bonhoeffer"
Published on by Fortress Press

Category :"Religion"

Bonhoeffer says spiritual care is a function of the congregation and that it is an aspect of the broader, more encompassing activity of proclamation. In Spiritual Care, we are confronted with the awesome truth that in speech God's presence is known and that speech is also our own; in silence God's presence is known and that silence is also our own. The text demands us to consider how the gospel message is brought to people in the midst of their personal lives, and his message and counsel use the tools given within the traditional life of the church so that such grace becomes enacted, enfleshed, and incarnate in the Christian community.
