by Michael Fleeman***Please note: This ebook edition does not contain the photos found in the print edition.***A MAN IN UNIFORMHe was a captain in the U.S. Air Force. She was a psychologist in Fayetteville, North Carolina. On the surface, Marty and Michelle Theer appeared to be the perfect married couple. But no one knew of the double life Michelle was leading. Tired of spending one too many nights apart from Marty who was often away on his flight missions, Michelle turned to the Internet to meet men and relieve her loneliness. With each encounter, Michelle became more daring in her sexual escapades. But one man stood out among all the rest: former U.S. Army Staff Sergeant John Diamond.A WOMAN IN HEATThe more time Michelle spent with Diamond, the less she wanted to be with her husband. Then on December 17, 2000, Marty was gunned down on a street outside of Michelle's office building.

In 2002, authorities finally captured her.A CASE THAT SHOCKED THE AMERICAN MILITARY COMMUNITYFor three months, a jury would hear graphic testimony delving into the sordid details of Michelle's swinging sex life as the happy veneer of the Theers's marriage was quickly peeled away.

Öffentlichkeitsarbeit der Beteiligten im Strafverfahren und mediale (Verdachts-)Berichterstattung: Neue Überlegungen zur „Störung der Strafrechtspflege“ vor dem Hintergrund des Internetzeitalters
by Janine FielitzBei medial begleiteten Strafverfahren geht es nicht mehr nur um die Wahrheitsfindung; die Verfahrensbeteiligten streben zunehmend danach, die Deutungshoheit über die mediale und öffentliche Meinung zu gewinnen. Neben der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit der Ermittlungs- und Justizbehörden und der damit einhergehenden, durch die internetbedingten Entwicklungen erhöhten Risiken und Gefahren für die Rechte und Interessen des Beschuldigten, befasst sich die Autorin insbes. mit den (als Verbindungsglied zwischen Strafjustiz und Öffentlichkeit fungierenden) Medien, der medialen (Verdachts-)Berichterstattung sowie der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit (Litigation-PR) der Verteidigung und Nebenklage. Sie zeichnet ein umfassendes Bild von dem Zusammenspiel und den Wechselwirkungen zwischen der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit der Beteiligten im Strafverfahren und der Medienberichterstattung, von den unterschiedlichen Rollen, den jeweiligen (z.T. konträren) Interessen, Rechten und Pflichten der Akteure, deren Handlungs- und Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten und den sich in diesem Zusammenhang für den Beschuldigten, die sonstigen Verfahrensbeteiligten, das Verfahren und damit auch für die Strafrechtspflege ergebenden Auswirkungen und Risiken.
Öffentliche Kontrolle der Streitkräfte in der Russischen Föderation
by Nadja DouglasDer Band befasst sich mit den Grundlagen der gegenwärtigen Beziehungen zwischen zivilen Akteuren und staatlichen Machtstrukturen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem Themenfeld der öffentlichen Kontrolle von Streitkräften und der Frage, warum zivile Akteure ein wachsames Auge auf die militärische Institution sowie zivile Behörden, die den Einsatz von Gewalt legitimieren, haben sollten. Am Beispiel von Wehrpflicht und Rekrutierung als Schnittstelle zwischen Militär und Gesellschaft analysiert die Studie den institutionellen Wandel im politisch-militärischen Bereich im postsowjetischen Russland. In kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit der konventionellen Militärsoziologie verlagert das Buch den Fokus weg von der exklusiven Machtbeziehung zwischen politischen und militärischen Eliten im Kontext der nationalen Sicherheit. Stattdessen berücksichtigt es die menschliche und gesellschaftliche Sicherheit, d.h. die Bedürfnisse und Forderungen von Individuen und Gruppen an der Basis, die vom Militär und der herrschenden Sicherheitslage in Russland betroffen sind. Das Buch richtet sich an Leser mit Interesse an zivil-militärischen Beziehungen, gegenwärtiger russischer Gesellschaftspolitik und Theorien sozialer Bewegungen.
Off-Screen Cinema: Isidore Isou and the Lettrist Avant-Garde
by Kaira M. CabañasOne of the most important avant-garde movements of postwar Paris was Lettrism, which crucially built an interest in the relationship between writing and image into projects in poetry, painting, and especially cinema. Highly influential, the Lettrists served as a bridge of sorts between the earlier works of the Dadaists and Surrealists and the later Conceptual artists.Off-Screen Cinema is the first monograph in English of the Lettrists. Offering a full portrait of the avant-garde scene of 1950s Paris, it focuses on the film works of key Lettrist figures like Gil J Wolman, Maurice Lemaître, François Dufrêne, and especially the movement's founder, Isidore Isou, a Romanian immigrant whose “discrepant editing” deliberately uncoupled image and sound. Through Cabañas's history, we see not only the full scope of the Lettrist project, but also its clear influence on Situationism, the French New Wave, the New Realists, as well as American filmmakers such as Stan Brakhage.

Of Wolves and Men
by Barry LopezOriginally published in 1978, this classic exploration of humanity&’s complex relationship with and understanding of wolves returns with a new afterword by the author.Humankind's relationship with the wolf is the sum of a spectrum of responses ranging from fear to admiration and affection. Lopez&’s classic, careful study has won praise from a wide range of reviewers and improved the way books on wild animals are written. Of Wolves and Men explores the uneasy interaction between wolves and civilization over the centuries, and the wolf's prominence in our thoughts about wild creatures. Drawing upon an impressive array of literature, history, science, and mythology as well as extensive personal experience with captive and free-ranging wolves, Lopez argues for the wolf's preservation and immerses the reader in its sensory world, creating a compelling portrait of the wolf both as a real animal and as imagined by different kinds of men. A scientist might perceive the wolf as defined by research data, while an Eskimo hunter sees a family provider much like himself. For many Native Americans the wolf is also a spiritual symbol, a respected animal that can strengthen the individual and the community. With irresistible charm and elegance, Of Wolves and Men celebrates careful scientific fieldwork, dispels folklore that has enabled the Western mind to demonize wolves, explains myths, and honors indigenous traditions, allowing us to understand how this remarkable animal has become so prominent for so long in the human heart.
Of Stones and Smiles
by Jesús Ignacio CarreroWritten in poetic prose, although it features poems with different themes, in this first poem collection, the author shows us, from different perspectives, how our life is full of stones that do not exist, but we insist on seeing and of smiles that we do not see, but that are there whenever we want to access them. Must we only open our eyes? You will find out inside the book. Besides, among stones and smiles, the author also takes us through situations where two are always one, because in love, one cannot be two. In this way, he makes us aware of the intangible, the only thing that can lead us to plenitude. It’s because of this that we are can walk through worlds that are made from some verses that can only be written by the soul. In fact, that’s how it has been. And if by the inertia of what you are doing, as you turn the final page, you and what you used to be were no longer here?
Of Mothers and Other Perishables
by Radhika OberoiOf Mothers and Other Perishables is an exquisite articulation of grief. It is also the sharp-eyed tale of a city tethered to violence and bursting with nazms. The morbidly funny voice of a dead woman echoes through the walls of her beloved storeroom, a compact space that contains her earthly belongings: cupboards full of silk sarees and baby clothes, albums of black-and-white photographs, a collection of vinyl records, a record player, old leather suitcases, an ebony-and-gold sewing machine. She reminisces about the past, and about the disease that causes her untimely death. Her storeroom becomes a quaint Bioscope of her life in Delhi as a young woman in the 1970s and 80s, decades that bring her romance, marriage, motherhood. The novel oscillates between the dead woman&’s yearnings and the immediacy and excitement of a parallel narrative — her daughter&’s. Nicknamed The Wailer (from the band Bob Marley and the Wailers), the dead woman&’s daughter offers a sardonic glimpse into the world of advertising — the night before a presentation, temperamental colleagues, the buzz of writers and art directors at work. But the peculiar dynamics of The Wailer&’s advertising firm alter drastically, when protests break out in the city of Delhi. Protesters swarm the streets, hollering against a new bill that persecutes the Muslim community. A Muslim art director is drawn to the pulsing heart of this movement. The Wailer, too, is inadvertently involved. Both narratives — the deceased mother&’s digressional memories, and The Wailer&’s palpable reality — also tell of Toon, The Wailer&’s younger sister, who is the CEO of a coffee startup. Their worlds converge to offer shards of the past, and navigate through a turbulent present. Personal and political histories collide in this haunting tale of many betrayals.
Of Jade and Dragons (OF JADE AND DRAGONS #1)
by Amber ChenMulan meets Iron Widow in this thrilling silkpunk fantasy about a girl who must disguise herself as a boy and enter the famed and dangerous Engineer&’s Guild trials to unravel the mystery of her father&’s murder.Eighteen-year-old Aihui Ying dreams of becoming a world-class engineer like her father, but after his sudden murder, her life falls apart. Left with only a journal of her father&’s engineering secrets and a jade pendant snatched from the assassin, a heartbroken Ying follows the trail to the capital and the prestigious Engineers Guild—a place that harbors her father&’s hidden past—determined to discover why anyone would threaten a man who ultimately chose a quiet life over fame and fortune. Disguised as her brother, Ying manages to infiltrate the guild&’s male-only apprenticeship trial with the help of an unlikely ally—Aogiya Ye-yang, the taciturn eighth prince of the High Command. With her father&’s renown placing a target firmly on her back, Ying must stay one step ahead of her fellow competitors, the jealous guild masters, and the killer still hunting for her father&’s journal. Complicating everything is her increasingly tangled relationship with the prince, who may have mysterious plans of his own. The secrets concealed within the guild can be as deadly as the weapons they build—and with her life and the future of her homeland at stake, Ying doesn&’t know who to trust. Can she avenge her father even if it means going against everything he stood for, or will she be next in the mastermind&’s line of fire?
Oedipus and the Sphinx: The Threshold Myth from Sophocles through Freud to Cocteau
by Almut-Barbara RengerWhen Oedipus met the Sphinx on the road to Thebes, he did more than answer a riddle—he spawned a myth that, told and retold, would become one of Western culture’s central narratives about self-understanding. Identifying the story as a threshold myth—in which the hero crosses over into an unknown and dangerous realm where rules and limits are not known—Oedipus and the Sphinx offers a fresh account of this mythic encounter and how it deals with the concepts of liminality and otherness. Almut-Barbara Renger assesses the story’s meanings and functions in classical antiquity—from its presence in ancient vase painting to its absence in Sophocles’s tragedy—before arriving at two of its major reworkings in European modernity: the psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud and the poetics of Jean Cocteau. Through her readings, she highlights the ambiguous status of the Sphinx and reveals Oedipus himself to be a liminal creature, providing key insights into Sophocles’s portrayal and establishing a theoretical framework that organizes evaluations of the myth’s reception in the twentieth century. Revealing the narrative of Oedipus and the Sphinx to be the very paradigm of a key transition experienced by all of humankind, Renger situates myth between the competing claims of science and art in an engagement that has important implications for current debates in literary studies, psychoanalytic theory, cultural history, and aesthetics.

The Odes of Horace: A Translation
by Horace David FerryDavid Ferry, the acclaimed poet and translator of Gilgamesh, has made an inspired translation of the complete Odes of Horace, one that conveys the wit, ardor and sublimity of the original with a music of all its own.The Latin poet Horace is, along with his friend Virgil, the most celebrated of the poets of the reign of the Emperor Augustus, and, with Virgil, the most influential. These marvelously constructed poems with their unswerving clarity of vision and their extraordinary range of tone and emotion have deeply affected the poetry of Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Herbert, Dryden, Marvell, Pope, Samuel Johnson, Wordsworth, Frost, Larkin, Auden, and many others, in English and in other languages. This ebook edition includes only the English language translation of the Odes. As Rosanna Warren noted about Ferry's work in The Threepenny Review, "We finally have an English Horace whose rhythmical subtlety and variety do justice to the Latin poet's own inventiveness, in which emotion rises from the motion of the verse . . . To sense the achievement, one has to read the collection as a whole . . . and they can take one's breath away even as they continue breathing."
