What is the deep web? A locked door. A tool for oppression and for revolution. "An emptying drain, driven by gravity." And in Patrick Johnson'sGatekeeper--selected by Khaled Mattawa as the winner of the 2019 Ballard Spahr Prize for Poetry--it is the place where connection is darkly transfigured by distance and power. So we learn as Johnson's speaker descends into his inferno, his Virgil a hacker for whom "nothing to stop him is reason enough to keep going," his Beatrice the elusive Anon, another faceless user of the deep web. Here is unnameable horror--human trafficking, hitmen, terrorism recruitment. And here, too, is the lure of the beloved. But gone are the orderly circles of hell. Instead, Johnson's map of the deep web is recursive and interrogatory, drawing inspiration and forms from the natural world and from science, as his speaker attempts to find a stable grasp on the complexities of this exhilarating and frightening digital world. Spooky and spare,Gatekeeper is a striking debut collection and a suspenseful odyssey for these troubled times.

Pappy built the life he thought he should, on wealth, faith and family, but it left him feeling hollow. He would risk it all to reach a greater prize – the simple satisfaction we all need. On a wilderness journey, Pappy searched his soul, searched for God, and searched for a home. With Christian thinkers, spiritual leaders, philosophers, mountains and rivers as his teachers, he would learn how to craft an emotionally healthy spirituality rooted in present moment awareness, freed from fear and guilt.\nPappy’s story, closely based on the real life of the author, shows a way toward inner peace and happiness, toward spiritual joy and freedom, toward complete wellbeing, regardless of the circumstances that life throws at you. Its example shows that wisdom is not in knowing where your journey leads, but in choosing what you carry close and what you leave behind.\nOne.Conscious.Breath is a fun story, an enjoyable read and emotional ride, packed with timeless lessons for anyone who wants more from life but can’t find how to start. It can help you find the peace that lies within.

Product Description 
The Digital Closet: LGBT*Q Identities and Affective Politics in a Social Media Age 
 discusses how LGBT*Q individuals occupy a precarious space within society as a marginalized community in the United States. They are afforded representation in some venues yet are often invisible. Through social media, LGBT*Q individuals have sought new ways to forge communities and increase their visibility. This rise in visibility afforded individuals means to seek out and distribute information to help in the coming out process. Combining archival research, observation, interviews, and visual discourse analysis of social media feeds, the Patrick Johnson examines the role social media plays in expressions of LGBT*Q politics, culture, and coming out. Despite the messages not having changed fundamentally, the improved access to LGBT*Q stories have amplified the ones that are sent. Johnson argues that this is positive in acting as intervention for LGBT*Q suicide rates, hate crimes, and discrimination from the outside. However, the author also contends that it has vastly re-centered and prioritized white, cisgender, masculinity, obscuring other stories and creating potentially dangerous environments for POC, women, trans* individuals, and gay men who do not meet this high standard of masculinity. Scholars of gender studies, media studies, and queer theory will find this book particularly interesting. 
 Review 
Coming out Queer Online: Identity, Affect, and the Digital Closet addresses how difficult it can be for LGBT*Q+ people to come out online. Some may be scared of perceptions and how their family and loved ones may receive it.... [R]eaders will be able to see that there is representation with the LGBT*Q+ group and will be able to see how the digital age has helped change that for the better. ― 
Communication Booknotes Quarterly\nThe Digital Closet: LGBT*Q Identities and Affective Politics in a Social Media Age 
 is a timely and important key text in the current political climate. This book advances ways of knowing about the significant role of media technologies that shape and reshape social and performative negotiations of LGBT*Q identities, performances, and politics. In addition, this book creates a space to rethink a constantly shifting idea of the LGBT*Q communities as the collective for the future as the hopeful destination. -- Dr. Shinsuke Eguchi, University of New Mexico\nWritten with a knack for clarity, Patrick Johnson offers an important read of social media discourses and their impact in the LBT*Q+ lifeworlds. This book offers us a way into an on-going conversation about the tense relationship between community ethics and LGBT*Q+ identity formation. Johnson’s multi-pronged, diverse, and dynamic approach to studying social media, exemplifies how this site of discourse is a wildly enriching and exclusionary platform. -- Jeffrey Q. McCune, Washington University in St. Louis

While there are many areas of focus in mathematics education, there are many good reasons for offering applicable mathematics education in schools. Let us just mention two of the most important reasons. On the one hand, a focus on the practical side of mathematics presents a convincing and motivating answer to the typical student question: ‘Why study mathematics?’ On the other hand, education policy seems inclined to move in this direction by implementing international testing, curricula and catalogues of skills.The most important feature of this book is that the authors speak directly to you, the mathematics teachers. The authors attempt to draw you into a continuous dialogue about activities you are asked to engage in as learners. You are asked to do something, and through doing and reflecting you will gain first-hand experience of new approaches and materials. In this way, you can learn to teach applicable mathematics to your students using your own experience as learners of applicable mathematics, motivated and supported by the book.Here applicable mathematics education is the phrase we use to describe reality-based mathematics education. Reality-based mathematics relies heavily on problem solving and a positive disposition to engage with mathematics. Modelling reality and simulating selected aspects of reality are other pillars of reality-based mathematics education.
