Sinopse

Setting Significance explores how time and place profoundly shape narratives, arguing that setting isn't just a backdrop but an active force. The book reveals how authors use historical and geographical settings to influence character development and plot progression. Examining the socio-cultural milieu within literary works allows readers to unlock hidden layers of meaning and appreciate the intricate craftsmanship of authors.

 
The book progresses through three main sections. First, it analyzes how historical settings influence narratives by examining landmark events and dominant ideologies. Second, it concentrates on geographical settings, exploring how depictions of rural landscapes and urban environments impact plot and character motivations. Finally, it examines how authors interweave time and place to achieve specific thematic effects, such as displacement and cultural identity.

 
By drawing upon literary history and socio-cultural studies, Setting Significance provides a comprehensive framework for literary analysis. This approach challenges traditional views of setting as secondary, advocating for its central role in shaping meaning and offering valuable insights for students, critics, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of literary works.

    From an acclaimed grief educator and the author of Second Firsts and Where Did You Go? comes a road map to recognize and heal the unspoken, often misunderstood experience of everyday loss, so you can finally reenter and live your life in full.“Compared to most, my problems are small. I should be happy with what I’ve got.” Our inner judge often tells us grief is “allowed” for big losses, but that we should tough out everyday heartbreak. The loss of a loved one and a devastating divorce are likely to be accepted as grief events. But what about moments when we feel overlooked, disregarded, or misunderstood? This could look like rejection in the workplace, lack of intimacy in a relationship, being overlooked by friends, or working in a position that’s not a dream job. “These are losses society doesn’t recognize, mirror back to us, or validate,” says acclaimed grief educator Christina Rasmussen. “As a result, we don’t recognize or validate them either.” This unacknowledged type of grief—invisible losses that are often labeled as not worthy of recognition—can be hard to define and may surface as feelings of anxiety, depression, angst, or restlessness. These are the moments when we shift perception of ourselves and can end up living in continuous survival mode, without really recognizing or understanding why. In Invisible Loss, Rasmussen shines a light on this unrecognized form of grief. Because we avoid invisible loss, we don’t process it; instead, we seek the protection of an endless “waiting room” in the hope that time will heal our wounds. Here, Rasmussen helps you meet your loss, free from shame or guilt, to explore:• The origin of your invisible loss and how you’ve coped along the way• The five life reentry phases based on the Life Reentry® Model• Exercises to help you find your way out of the waiting room• Guidance in reframing your thoughts toward your original self“The entire world is silently grieving, attempting to process a form of heartbreak unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. We need a new language and road map for our invisible losses,” says Rasmussen. This guide gives you the tools you need in order to heal, move forward, and embrace the life you were meant to lead.

    In 2018, police announced that they had finally arrested the "Golden State Killer," a man responsible for over 140 burglaries, fifty rapes, and at least thirteen murders committed in California throughout the 1970s and '80s. That man turned out to be a former California police officer, Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. 
     
     
     
    Just two months earlier, the publication of I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara had rocked the world of true crime. Published two years after her death, the book charts McNamara's obsessive search for the prolific criminal who had been known over the years as the East Area Rapist, the Original Night Stalker, and the Visalia Ransacker, among other epithets. McNamara is credited with coining the "Golden State Killer" moniker and heightening public awareness of the—at the time—still unsolved case. 
     
     
     
    William Thorp dives into the investigation, exploring the dark side of sunny California, the advances in forensic innovation that made solving this case possible, and the story inside the story—one of an amateur sleuth who dedicated the last years of her life to understanding how one of the country's worst criminals could have spent so many decades undetected.
