  Educated Out - How Rural...

  Through the stories of nine rural, first-generation students and their families, Educated Out shows how geography shapes college opportunities, from admission to postgraduation options. A former third-grade teacher in rural Tennessee, education researcher Mara Casey Tieken watched as her former students graduated high school. She was shocked at how few were heading to college—and none were going to elite four-year schools. These students were representative of a larger national phenomenon: In 2021, 31 percent of rural adults aged twenty-five and older held a postsecondary degree, compared to 45 percent of urban adults, and rural students are especially unlikely to pursue degrees from private, selective schools. Why, Tieken wondered? And what happens to the handful of rural students who do attend elite colleges, colleges that may feel worlds away from home?
   
  
  In addition to advocating for a higher education landscape that truly includes rural students, Tieken critiques a system that requires people to leave their rural homes in search of opportunities. Our current economy depends on inexpensive rural labor. Without meaningful change, some students will have to make the impossible decision to leave home—and far more will remain there, undereducated and overlooked.  Both engaging and accessible, Educated Out presents important and timely questions about rurality, identity, education, and inequality.

  THE DARK KNIGHT 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  The Dark Knight is a 2008 superhero film directed by Christopher Nolan. The plot revolves around Batman, Lieutenant James Gordon, and District Attorney Harvey Dent forming an alliance to dismantle organized crime in Gotham City. Their efforts are thwarted by the Joker, an anarchistic mastermind. The film explores themes of escalation, morality, and ethics, and delves into the consequences of vigilantism and the fight against terrorism. The Dark Knight was a critical and commercial success, breaking box office records and becoming the highest-grossing film of 2008. It stars Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Morgan Freeman. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The Dark Knight was the first major motion picture to utilize high-resolution IMAX cameras, with about 28 minutes of the film being shot in this format, a significant amount for its time. This technology, which was typically used for documentaries, allowed for a greater scope and detail in the film's visuals. 
    
  Director Christopher Nolan avoided using computer-generated imagery whenever possible, opting instead for practical stunts such as flipping an 18-wheel truck and blowing up a factory, adding to the film's realism. This commitment to practical effects made the action sequences more impactful and believable. 
    
  The story for The Dark Knight was developed with the idea of escalation in mind, where Batman's war on crime would lead to an opposing escalation by criminals, attracting the Joker. This theme of escalating conflict is central to the plot and drives the narrative forward.

  Winner of the 2024 Andy Award for Memoir and Narrative Nonfiction 
  A Zibby's Top 10 Book of 2023 
  A USA Today Best Book of 2023 
  A USA Today Book Club Pick 
  Foreword by Cameron Diaz 
  “Reading Kimberly Shannon Murphy’s searing and vividly told memoir is like watching a gripping work of cinema verité: each scene demands our attention as the plot moves towards its dramatic conclusion. A powerful and inspiring story of suffering and shame, resilience and redemption.” —Gabor Maté M.D., New York Times bestselling author of The Myth of Normal 
  A raw and heartening memoir of one woman’s journey from surviving childhood sexual abuse to becoming one of the most successful stuntwomen in Hollywood. 
  “Piece by piece, the on-site medic tweezes the shards of candy glass from my face. I don’t mind the stinging. I don’t flinch.” 
  As an award-winning stuntwoman, Kimberly Shannon Murphy was intimate with pain. For years, she propelled her body through dangerous spaces—medicating the trauma of her childhood sexual abuse with the adrenaline rush that came from pushing herself to the absolute limit. But as Kimberly learned, no matter how much you suppress your past, it always catches up with you. 
  In Glimmer, Kimberly details her remarkable journey to the top of her field as a Hollywood stuntwoman for many A-list celebrities, including Cameron Diaz, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, Taylor Swift, and Sandra Bullock, while carrying the pain of her childhood of sexual abuse in a family that refused to acknowledge its reality. In her beautifully written, unflinchingly honest memoir, Kimberly reflects on her past and present, chronicling her path to recovery and calculating the long shadow of trauma. 
  Glimmer is the story of one woman’s quest to reclaim her life and to shine a spotlight on the dark topic of intergenerational familial abuse. As Kimberly reveals, being strong isn’t about getting your black belt, leaping out of four-story buildings, or putting 200-pound stuntmen in chokeholds—it’s about waking up every single morning and choosing to love yourself, no matter your history. 
  A heroic and hopeful story of stolen innocence, pain, courage, and survival, Glimmer is an emotional roadmap for others who have suffered abuse and childhood trauma, offering them hope, healing, and inspiration.
