Omgiven av mörker
av Chris Jordan
Omgiven av mörker Föreliggande fakta

Vårt viktorianska hus mitt i Boston är en helgedom för de föräldrar vars barn blivit bortförda, vars liv slagits i spillror. För deras skull pusslar vi obevekligt ihop fakta i varje utredning.

Mitt namn är Alice Crane. Jag är bara en del av det begåvade team som arbetar för Naomi Nantz, den briljanta och mycket privata detektiven.

Idag blev vårt heliga tillhåll stormat av inkräktare. Den ryktbare barnletaren Randall Shane blev nerdrogad och bortförd av okända våldsmän, möjligen agenter utsända av regeringen. Shanes klient är död, och en pojke som kallas "tangentpojken" är försvunnen. Vad finns det för samband mellan pojken och ett topphemligt laboratorium för fysik? Okänt - tills vidare. Men under Naomis vägledning ska vi infiltrera vartenda olagligt styrelserum, sovrum och krigsrum. Vi ska hitta den lille pojken eller dö under våra ansträngningar.

Det enda som är hundra procent säkert är att Naomi Nantz inte ger upp. Inte nu, aldrig någonsin.

Vallanpitäjät
av Chris Jordan
Pienessä kaupungissa USA:ssa nuori mies pitää yli sataa koululaista panttivankina...
Poliisin erikoisjoukkojen valmistautuessa menemään sisälle, voimistelusalista alkaa nousta savua, ja sitten räjähtää. Juuri ennen räjähdystä saadaan panttivangit turvaan - kymmenenvuotiasta Noah Corbinia lukuun ottamatta. Pojan äiti Haley on tulla hulluksi. Kuoliko hänen poikansa savua seuranneessa räjähdyksessä? Harhailiko Noah jostain syystä kauemmaksi tapahtumapaikalta, loukkaantui ja sekosi?
Vai siepattiinko poika?
Poliisin lopetettua tutkimuksensa Haley palkkaa avukseen entisen FBI:n agentin Randall Shanen, sillä hän ei suostu hyväksymään tapahtunutta. Noahin on pakko olla elossa. Haleya ei yllätä se, että jäljet johtavat syrjäiselle seudulle Kalliovuorille, rikkaiden, vaikutusvaltaisten Vallanpitäjien kuuluisan kulttiyhteisön asuinsijoille. Heillä on pakko olla jotain tekemistä Noahin salaperäisen katoamisen kanssa, sillä he tiivistävät rivejään ja suojelevat omiaan, keinoja kaihtamatta.

"Äiti, minä tarvitsen apuasi. Sinun pitää soittaa..." Siinä kaikki.
Puhelu katkeaa kesken lauseen. Ei kuulu rätinää, ei mitään. Vain lopullinen, lamaannuttava hiljaisuus.
Long Islandilla asuva yksinhuoltajaäiti Janey Garner on suunniltaan huomatessaan kuusitoistavuotiaan, lapsuudessaan leukemiasta toipuneen, Kelly-tyttären kadonneen. Hänen järkytyksekseen poliisi uskoo Kellyn kadonneen vapaaehtoisesti poikaystävänsä Sethin kanssa. Janey on aivan varma, että jotakin kamalaa on tapahtunut. Miksei hän tiennyt, että Kellyllä oli poikaystävä? Miksi Kelly ei ollut kertonut? Pian Janeylle selviää, että hänen pikkutytöllään on ollut useita vaarallisia salaisuuksia...
Janey on vakuuttunut siitä, ettei Kelly ole karannut, vaan että tyttöä pidetään jossain vastoin tahtoaan. Hän palkkaa entisen FBI-agentin Randall Shanen seuraamaan Kellyn jälkiä. Ja yhtäkkiä selviääkin, että jokainen askel vie heidät lähemmäs kylmäveristä saalistajaa, joka vaanii varjoissa...
Hurja jännityskertomus ja jokaisen vanhemman pahin painajainen...

Walls, Cages, and Family Separation
av Sophia Jordan Wallace, Chris Zepeda-Millan
US immigration policy has deeply racist roots. From his rhetoric to his policies, President Donald Trump has continued this tradition, most notoriously through his border wall, migrant family separation, and child detention measures. But who exactly supports these practices and what factors drive their opinions? Our research reveals that racial attitudes are fundamental to understanding who backs the president's most punitive immigration policies. We find that whites who feel culturally threatened by Latinos, who harbor racially resentful sentiments, and who fear a future in which the United States will be a majority-minority country, are among the most likely to support Trump's actions on immigration. We argue that while the President's policies are unpopular with the majority of Americans, Trump has grounded his political agenda and 2020 reelection bid on his ability to politically mobilize the most racially conservative segment of whites who back his draconian immigration enforcement measures.

Movies and the Reagan Presidency
av Jordan Chris Jordan
The 1980s were unique in both American history and the history of American cinema. It was a time when a United States president-a former B-movie actor and Cold War industry activist-served as a catalyst for the coalescence of trends in Hollywood's political structure, mode of production, and film content. Ronald Reagan championed a success ethos that recognized economic and moral self-governance as the basis of a democratic society. His agenda of tax reform and industry deregulation simultaneously promoted the absorption of Hollywood's major studios into tightly diversified media conglomerates, and concentrations of ownership promoted the production and release of movies with maximum revenue potential. Indeed, the most commercially successful movies of the decade put forth the ideologies of WASP America, nuclear family self-sufficiency, and conspicuous consumption.Three genres in particular-the biracial buddy movie, the MTV music-video movie, and the yuppie movie-provide case studies of how Reagan-era cinema addressed issues of race, gender, and class in ways very much in tune with Reaganomics and the President's cultural policies. Author Chris Jordan provides a complete overview of both the influence of Reagan's presidency on the film industry and on the films themselves. Exploring 80s genres and movies with both a sociocultural and aesthetic eye, this book will be invaluable to historians, cinema scholars, and film buffs.

Values and Ethics in Social Work
av Chris Beckett, Andrew Maynard, Peter Jordan
An awareness of one's own ethical assumptions and how these inform everyday practice is crucial for all student social workers. Social workers who genuinely wish to do the right thing by their services users have no alternative but to constantly think and rethink the principles and assumptions that inform their actions, and this book supports them on their journey to do just that. This third edition is set out in two parts: Part I deals with broad ideas about values and ethics in general, looking at philosophy, religion and politics, as well as the duty of realism. Part II takes the discussion further, looking at how these general principles are relevant to everyday practice, with chapters on the use and misuse of power, the idea of self-determination, and the challenges of working with people whose experience and outlook are different to one s own.

Shared Mind
av Zlatev Jordan Zlatev, Racine Timothy P Racine, Sinha Chris Sinha, Itkonen Esa Itkonen
The cognitive and language sciences are increasingly oriented towards the social dimension of human cognition and communication. The hitherto dominant approach in modern cognitive science has viewed "social cognition" through the prism of the traditional philosophical puzzle of how individuals solve the problem of understanding Other Minds. The Shared Mind challenges the conventional "theory of mind" approach, proposing that the human mind is fundamentally based on intersubjectivity: the sharing of affective, conative, intentional and cognitive states and processes between a plurality of subjects. The socially shared, intersubjective foundation of the human mind is manifest in the structure of early interaction and communication, imitation, gestural communication and the normative and argumentative nature of language. In this path breaking volume, leading researchers from psychology, linguistics, philosophy and primatology offer complementary perspectives on the role of intersubjectivity in the context of human development, comparative cognition and evolution, and language and linguistic theory.
