Breaking Up (At) Totality: A Rhetoric of Laughter by D. Diane Davis, ISBN 0809322293
Rhetoric and composition theory has shown a renewed interest in sophistic countertraditions, as seen in the work of such "postphilosophers" as Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, and Helene Cixous and of such rhetoricians as Susan Jarratt and Steven Mailloux. As D. Diane Davis traces today's theoretical interest to those countertraditions, she also sets her sights beyond them.
Davis takes a "third sophistics" approach, one that focuses on the play of language that perpetually disrupts the "either/or" binary construction of dialectic. She concentrates on the nonsequential third-excess-that overflows language's dichotomies. In this work, laughter operates as a trope for disruption or breaking up, which is, from Davis's perspective, a joyfully destructive shattering of our confining conceptual frameworks.
Religions of Korea in Practice
"There is nothing else in English--or probably even Korean--that collects and presents so many authoritative sources on Korea's rich and varied religious traditions. "Religions of Korea in Practice" sets a standard of interpretive insight and access to Korean religious voices that will be very hard to surpass. The contributors are the world's most important English-speaking scholars of Korean religions."--Donald N. Clark, Trinity University, San Antonio
"With "Religions of Korea in Practice," we finally get an anthology of highly reliable English translations of important Korean religious texts with scholarly commentaries that combine academic depth and readability. This is an extremely useful overview of the main traditions of Korean religions, with discussion of the focal issues of each tradition, as well as crucial personalities.

The Apparition Trail
The year is 1884, and Corporal Grayburn of the North-West Mounted Police always gets his man. But when he is assigned to the secretive Q division - an elite unit of paranormal investigators founded by legendary Mountie Sam Steele - he discovers that his own "psychic dreaming" might lead to more than he bargained for. Aware of his own strange powers and armed with the aid of the eccentric psychic researcher Arthur Chambers, Grayburn sets off to investigate the strange disappearance of a minister and a mystifying Indian artifact known only as the Manitou Stone. Dark forces are at work, and the Cree sorcerer, Wandering Spirit, plans to use the magic of the stone to bring about the Day of Changes and allow the scattered native tribes to reclaim their stolen lands.

Reasoning and Choice: Explorations in Political Psychology by Paul M. Sniderman, ISBN 0521402557
Drawing on a multitude of data sets and building on analyses carried out over more than a decade, Reasoning and Choice offers a major new theoretical explanation of how ordinary citizens figure out what they favor and oppose politically. Reacting against the conventional wisdom, which stresses how little attention the general public pays to political issues and the lack of consistency in their political opinions, the studies presented in this book redirect attention to the processes of reasoning that can be discerned when people are confronted with choices about political issues. These studies demonstrate that ordinary people are in fact capable of reasoning dependably about political issues by the use of judgmental heuristics, even if they have only a limited knowledge of politics and of specific issues. An important point is that both the well-educated and the less-educated use heuristics in political reasoning, but that the well-educated tend to employ different heuristics and take into...

Runaways on the Inside Passage by Joe Upton, ISBN 0882405659
Young readers will thrill to this breathless story of courage and determination set in the Alaska wilderness. Abandoned by their mother in Seattle, thirteen-year-old twins Annie and David Ross enlist the help of Lars Hansen, an elderly commercial fisherman, to find their father in Alaska. In late November, when most fishing vessels are decommissioned for the winter, the trio sets out from Puget Sound in a forty-foot salmon troller for an eight-hundred-mile journey along the Inside Passage.
Pursued by the authorities as runaways, and with Lars's health failing, the three experience one adventure after another as they inch their way North, through terrifying winter storms and frightening encounters with strangers. In the process, Annie and David also make new, lasting friendships and kindle personal reserves of strength that they didn't know existed.
