Comic Empires: Imperialism in Cartoons, Caricature, and Satirical Art
Comic empires is a unique collection of new research exploring the relationship between imperialism and cartoons, caricature, and satirical art. Edited by leading scholars across both fields, the volume provides new perspectives on well-known events, and also illuminates little-known players in the 'great game' of empire. The volume contains a wealth of contributions from noted as well as emerging experts. Keren Zdafee and Stefanie Wichhart both examine Egypt (in the turbulent 1930s and during the Suez crisis, respectively); David Olds and Robert Phiddian explore the decolonisation of cartooning in Australia from the 1960s; Fiona Halloran, the foremost expert on Thomas Nast (1840-1902), examines his engagement with US westward expansion; the overseas imperialism of the United States is analysed by Albert D. Pionke and Frederick Whiting, as well as Stephen Tufnell; Shaoqian Zhang takes a close look at Chinese and Japanese propagandising during the conflict of 1937-45; and David Lockwood interrogates the attitudes of David Low (1891-1963) towards British India. Some of the finest comic art of the period is deployed as evidence, and examined seriously - in its own right - for the first time. Readers will find cartoons on subjects as diverse as the Pacific, Cuba, and Cyprus, from Punch, Judge, and Puck. Egyptian, German, French, and Australian comic art also enriches this innovative collection. Accessible to students of history at all levels, Comic empires is a major addition to the Studies in Imperialism series, as well as standing alone as an innovative and significant contribution to the ever-growing field of comics studies.- Shop: buecher

L.A. Rex: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 708min
As far as everyone in the squad room knows, Ben Halloran is completely fresh to the streets of the 77th Division - just a soft kid from the West Side who's decided to become a cop and happened to draw the hardest neighborhood in LA.But demons from Ben's complicated past catch up with him and his tough, oddly principled Daryl Gates-era partner, Miguel Marquez, all too quickly. From the moment Ben and Marquez hit the streets together, they're pulled into a web of ultra-violent corruption and retribution. They meet hardcore Crip gangbangers and tagalong gangsta-rap gloryhounds, LA's Mexican Mafia, sleazy celebrity defense attorneys, and dirty cops with distinctly self-serving definitions of law enforcement. Ben is forced to choose among father figures and apparent destinies while trying to obey his own moral principles - as well as his desperate animal instinct to stay alive.Author Will Beall is a Los Angeles police officer who has spent almost his entire career on the streets of South Central, much of it in antigang units. The audiobook bristles with the energy and authenticity of his experience. But the true revelation of L.A. Rex is that Will Beall can write. His brilliant, fearless prose simultaneously evokes Richard Price and James Ellroy. The result is an explosive thriller that takes us deep into a city that's further from Hollywood than we can imagine, a city that no other writer has managed to capture with this kind of hard-earned insight and intensity. ungekürzt.

A restless liege, Nath Dragon is bored with his reign and hungry for adventure. So when the fairy empress, Lotuus, entices him to undertake a great mission - a quest to uncover the secrets of his birth by locating the mother he's never known - Nath leaps at the opportunity. But the evil sprite's motives are far from noble. And while the Dragon King's attention is elsewhere, a new threat is rising that could tear the world of Nalzambor to pieces. A monstrous new breed of dragon has emerged from the darkness, their numbers growing so rapidly they will soon be unstoppable. More insect than dragon, these wurmers; have no love for their winged cousins. And in concert with the gargantuan Titans, dragonkind's ancient enemy, they could violently transform the world forever. Suddenly Nath, his magic sword Fang, his lifelong friend Brenwar, and a small band of allies are the last hope for preventing the catastrophe that could annihilate entire races and leave Nalzambor in ruins. But first, the Dragon King will have to make the ultimate sacrifice and shed his scales to do battle in human form. Dragons reign supreme in the world of Nalzambor, a breathtaking fantasy realm of giants, dwarves, elves, ogres, orcs, monsters, and men. Best-selling author Craig Halloran brings this magnificent world vividly alive once more in his latest sword-and-sorcery adventure, proving himself again to be one of fantasy fiction's current masters. His hero, Nath Dragon, is now king, seeking the answers to his mysterious heritage as a horrifying new threat looms on the horizon. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lee Alan.

The Red Citadel and the Sorcerer's Power , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 833min
The fate of the realm lies in the hands of a savage and a scoundrel....Once a respected wizard....Finster is now a drunkard and a con man living anonymously amongst simple, easily manipulated village folk. But his self-serving cunning cannot save him when soldiers of the Magus Supremeus of the High Order burst in to drag the disreputable mage to the dreaded Red Citadel.Finster’s captor, the new Magus, is none other than Ingrid the Insane, his former student, a young woman of cold heart and ruthless ambition who has already murdered numerous magic-doers in her quest for ultimate power. The only reason Finster still lives is Ingrid’s belief that he knows the whereabouts of the Founders Stone, a magical artifact that could make her invincible.Rendered powerless by a cursed scarab beetle attached to his back, Finster realizes he is doomed unless he escapes and recovers the Stone before Ingrid does, and he turns to his dungeon cellmate for help. But the hulking, mute, barbarian youth he calls “Moth” is inscrutable and unpredictable. And their ultimate survival — and the survival of an entire kingdom — may require the cowardly wizard to assume a most unfamiliar and uncomfortable role: hero!Halloran makes a powerful stand with his thrilling fantasy adventure, The Red Citadel. Chock full of battles, magic, evil, and intrigue — and peppered with some delightful Terry Pratchett Discworld-esque cynicism — Red Citadel is the story of the salvation of the disreputable fallen wizard, Finster. Taken prisoner by a murderous despot, the cowardly mage must join forces with a hulking, young, barbarian mute to uncover a magical artifact in order to save his own skin, and quite possibly a kingdom as well.Be sure to check out The Darkslayer Omnibus and The Chronicles of Dragon Collection as well.

Dunkel, traurig und zugleich wunderschön. Casey has restored my faith in the lost art of damn fine songwriting. -Tricia Halloran, KCRW, Los AngelesEs ist bereits das fünfte Album des Singer/Songwriters aus Nashville, jedoch das erste, das auch in Europa erscheint. Die Musik wurde Casey Black in die Wiege gelegt: Sein Vater schrieb die Songs für mehr als ein Dutzend No. 1 Hits in den USA. Mit einer unglaublich schönen Reibeisenstimme und tollem Songwriting bewaffnet, zeichen die 12 Songs des Albums, das vom Grammy-nominierten Produzenten Casey Wasner in Nashville aufgenommen wurde, dramaturgisch den Weg des fiktiven Protagonisten Ivan, der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts in der Sowietunion dunkle und bedrohliche Zeiten durchmacht, nach. Das lyrisch angetriebene Drama wird musikalisch von Caseys Akustikgitarre und Gesang getragen. Wunderbar fügen sich E-Gitarre, Bass und Streicher, oft spärlich bis dramatisch arrangiert, in die Songs ein. TRACKS: 1. Born A Baby 2. Blowin In The Cold Wind 3. You A Criminal 4. Mama's Little Man 5. Checkpoint Charlie 6. Love Like An Army 7. Nothin 8. Good To Be An Animal 9. The Rope 10. The Show 11. When Love Runs Out 12. See The Black Sea- Shop: odax
