Foy gather a top-notch team of scholars who use television shows such as Star Trek, The X-Files, All in the Family, The View, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report, as well as movies and popular music, to investigate contemporary issues in American popular culture.

Download or read book Orange Is the New Black written by Piper Kerman and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-04-06 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES With a career, a boyfriend, and a loving family, Piper Kerman barely resembles the reckless young woman who delivered a suitcase of drug money ten years before. But that past has caught up with her. Convicted and sentenced to fifteen months at the infamous federal correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut, the well-heeled Smith College alumna is now inmate #11187–424—one of the millions of people who disappear “down the rabbit hole” of the American penal system. From her first strip search to her final release, Kerman learns to navigate this strange world with its strictly enforced codes of behavior and arbitrary rules. She meets women from all walks of life, who surprise her with small tokens of generosity, hard words of wisdom, and simple acts of acceptance. Heartbreaking, hilarious, and at times enraging, Kerman’s story offers a rare look into the lives of women in prison—why it is we lock so many away and what happens to them when they’re there. Praise for Orange Is the New Black “Fascinating . . . The true subject of this unforgettable book is female bonding and the ties that even bars can’t unbind.”—People (four stars) “I loved this book. It’s a story rich with humor, pathos, and redemption. What I did not expect from this memoir was the affection, compassion, and even reverence that Piper Kerman demonstrates for all the women she encountered while she was locked away in jail. I will never forget it.”—Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love “This book is impossible to put down because [Kerman] could be you. Or your best friend. Or your daughter.”—Los Angeles Times “Moving . . . transcends the memoir genre’s usual self-centeredness to explore how human beings can always surprise you.”—USA Today “It’s a compelling awakening, and a harrowing one—both for the reader and for Kerman.”—Newsweek

Download or read book Leonard written by William Shatner and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2016-02-16 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner first crossed paths as actors on the set of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Little did they know that their next roles as Spock and Captain Kirk, in a new science fiction television series, would shape their lives in ways no one could have anticipated. In seventy-nine television episodes of Star Trek and six feature films, they grew to know each other more than most friends could ever imagine. Over the course of half a century, Shatner and Nimoy saw each other through personal and professional highs and lows. In this powerfully emotional book, Shatner tells the story of a man who was his friend for five decades, recounting anecdotes and untold stories of their lives on and off set, as well as gathering stories from others who knew Nimoy well, to present a full picture of a rich life. As much a biography of Nimoy as a story of their friendship, Leonard is a uniquely heartfelt book written by one legendary actor in celebration of another.

Book excerpt: With the help of the Elysium Underground Network, Citizen launches a successful raid on a Federation prison transport and frees Julian. He is weak, injured, and in bad condition from torture, and brain scans complements of the Federation. As Bless heals, Citizen’s advanced beta emotion chip starts bugging out. Bless employs his hacking skills and “fixes” the chip with an extremely rare nano-tech micro power source. It no longer has any bugs but the chip fuses with part of the Limbic System of her brain stem, enabling her to experience emotions and understand them at a whole new level. Commander Karr attempts to capture Bless once again, but his plan falls short. He’s closer to launching Operation Salvus by having his trio of Advanced Syth-Ls ready. However, the doctors and technicians warn him they’re not ready, but he pushed the Syth-L’s through anyway in a crazed effort to kill Citizen and Bless. Commander Karr closes in during a planned Elysium attach to cripple the Federation, trapping Bless in the Vault. Citizen knows what’s at stake and mounts a rescue, which takes her off the original mission script against the wishes of Clark and Bless. The clock is ticking, and Citizen’s running out of time. She’s nothing without Bless and can’t let him die. So, she does the unthinkable, sacrifices her only connection to her humanity—the emotion chip—an irreversible act of love, compassion, and loyalty.

Download or read book Ancillary Mercy written by Ann Leckie and published by Orbit. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breq and her crew must stand against an old and powerful enemy and fight for their own destinies in the stunning conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy. A must read for fans of Ursula K. Le Guin and James S. A. Corey. For a moment, things seemed to be under control for Breq, the soldier who used to be a warship. Then a search of Athoek Station's slums turns up someone who shouldn't exist, and a messenger from the mysterious Presger empire arrives, as does Breq's enemy, the divided and quite possibly insane Anaander Mianaai -- ruler of an empire at war with itself. Breq refuses to flee with her ship and crew, because that would leave the people of Athoek in terrible danger. The odds aren't good, but that's never stopped her before. "There are few who write science fiction like Ann Leckie can. There are few who ever could." -- John Scalzi
