Just in time for the highly anticipated 2016 blockbuster film release, this collection is the definitive and explosive introduction to John Ostrander’s modern SUICIDE SQUAD.

It’s up to the government to keep the bad guys in captivity-but Amanda Waller, a tough-as-nails federal agent, has other plans. She's heading up Task Force X (aka, the Suicide Squad) as an ultimatum to the world's most notorious super-villains. These criminals chew on a tricky bargain: either accept her devious, nearly impossible missions in the name of democracy, or rot in jail. And one other thing: most operatives don't make it back alive!

Starring some of the most popular villains in the DCU forced into the role of unlikely antiheroes, SUICIDE SQUAD VOL. 1: TRIAL BY FIRE collects SUICIDE SQUAD #1-8 and SECRET ORIGINS #14.

"The four authors of this concise volume provide an authoritative introduction to diverse key concepts about crime and its relationship to society. Each chapter starts with a definition (e.g., deviance, social control, normalization), providing readers with the vocabulary and conceptual framework for fully understanding chapter contents... a very good way to expose students and the public (and scholars from outside fields) to definitions, ideas, and theories of crime and society."
- K. Evans, Indiana State University, Choice

Key Concepts in Crime and Society offers an authoritative introduction to key issues in the area of crime as it connects to society. By providing critical insight into the key issues within each concept as well as highlighted cross-references to other key concepts, students will be helped to grasp a clear understanding of each of the topics covered and how they relate to broader areas of crime and criminality. The book is divided into three parts:

American Christians, veteran reporter John Donnelly has discovered, are an ever-increasing source of aid in Africa, with some experts estimating that U.S. churches supply more resources to Africa than USAID. In A Twist of Faith, he tells the unlikely story of how faith and determination compelled one such American Christian to travel to Africa and open a school for children orphaned by the AIDS epidemic. David Nixon, a carpenter from North Carolina who had lived through his share of trouble, knew nothing about the small, land-locked African country of Malawi. But after having a religious awakening and hearing about a preacher's efforts to aid its impoverished and beleaguered citizens, he raises money from his church and sets off to do what so many well-intentioned Americans of faith do in Africa: build an orphanage. But as his plans are beset with difficulties, Nixon slowly comes to realize that helping others requires listening to and learning from them. And that means changing his preconceived ideas of what the Malawians need and how he can best serve them. A Twist of Faith is the story of one man who, despite personal struggles, a profound cultural gap, the corruption of local officials, and the heartbreak of losing an orphan he comes to love, saves himself by saving others in a place nothing like home. Nixon's story is representative of a growing trend: the thousands of American Christians who are impassioned donors of time, money, and personal energy, devoted to helping African children.

When John McDonnell began his coaching career at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville--choosing it over Norman, Oklahoma, because Fayetteville reminded him of his native Ireland--he could hardly have imagined that he would become the most successful coach in the history of American collegiate athletics. But, in thirty-six years at the university, he amassed a staggering résumé of accomplishments, including forty national championships (eleven cross country, nineteen indoor track, and ten outdoor track), the most by any coach in any sport in NCAA history. His teams at Arkansas won the triple crown (a championship in cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track in a single school year) a record five times.

The Razorbacks also won eighty-three conference championships (thirty-eight in the Southwest Conference and forty-six in the Southeastern Conference), including thirty-four consecutive conference championships in cross country from 1974 to 2008. McDonnell coached 185 All-Americans, fifty-four individual national champions, and twenty-three Olympians. And from 1984 to 1995, his Razorback teams won twelve consecutive NCAA Indoor Track Championships, the longest streak of national titles by any school in any sport in NCAA history.

This biography tells the story of the McDonnell's life and legacy, from his childhood growing up on a farm in 1940s County Mayo, Ireland, to his own running career, to the beginnings of his life as a coach, to all the great athletes he mentored along the way.

Geoff Johns's two most acclaimed stories of his now classic ACTION COMICS run, previously collected separately as SUPERMAN: LAST SON and SUPERMAN: BRAINIAC, are now collected together for the first time. Along with co-writer Richard Donner (director of the original Superman feature films), Johns will take us on a epic journey that will leave Superman re-examining everything about himself.

A rocket lands in Metropolis containing a boy Superman thinks is from Krypton. Along with figuring out what that means to him, Superman must protect young Christopher Kent, who has become the most valuable child on the planet thanks to his immense power. Will Superman be able to protect him against both Lex Luthor and his new Superman Revenge Squad, as well as the Phantom Zone criminals General Zod, Ursa and Non?

This all sets the stage for Superman's showdown with one of his greatest foes: Brainiac!

With art by Adam Kubert and Gary Frank, this new collection contains ACTION COMICS #844-846, #851, 866-870, and ACTION COMICS ANNUAL #11.

Regarded by many as the greatest of the metaphysical poets, John Donne was also among the most intriguing figures of the Elizabethan Age. "Collected Poetry" includes his youthful songs and sonnets, epigrams, elegies, letters, satires and the profoundly moving Divine Poems composed toward the end of his life. Original.

A lungo dimenticati dalla critica, gli "Anniversaries" rappresentano il più significativo esempio della poetica ricca ed eclettica di uno dei maggiori autori del Seicento inglese. Per dare conto dei complessi intrecci tra poesia, scienza e concezioni filosofiche del mondo che costituiscono l'universo in cui John Donne compone i suoi poemetti, Audrey Taschini ci accompagna nella lettura dei versi esplorando le visioni teologiche dell'autore, concentrandosi sui suoi rapporti con la nuova epistemologia moderna e sulle sue implicazioni nell'elaborazione della concezione di viaggio dell'anima. La prospettiva sulla nascente scienza moderna è la chiave per comprendere gli Anniversaries come grido dolente del poeta per la lacerazione e la fine di un mondo inteso come dimora vivente del Logos, distrutta dal nuovo sguardo analitico, dal nuovo paradigma anatomico della conoscenza che spezza l.unità di poesia, teologia e scienza, rendendo inaccessibile la loro dimensione di speranza e redenzione.

The Fourteenth Edition of the award-winning Organizations: Behavior, Structure, Processes is based on the idea that managing people, structure, and processes in organizations is a challenging, compelling, and crucial set of tasks. This book illustrates how organizational behavior theory leads to research and how both theory and research provide the basic foundation for practical applications in business firms, hospitals, educational institutions, government agencies, and other organizations. Readers are given the opportunity to look inside these organizations and to develop their own perspective and skills for managing organizational behavior. In recognition of its educational effectiveness, in 2005 the book received the Text and Academic Authors Association’s McGuffey Longevity Award.

"Un bambino viene giù dal cielo. Voi lo accogliete in casa. Falsificate documenti. Lo crescete come se fosse vostro. Ditemi come avete fatto." Una meteora sta per schiantarsi su Metropolis, ma quando Superman ferma la sua corsa, scopre che si tratta di un'astronave aliena. Al suo interno, lo attende una sconcertante sorpresa.

"Vieni a vivere con me e sii il mio amore" è l'impetuoso inizio di una canzone che John Donne scrisse a circa vent'anni. Di canzoni ne compose tante per amici e amiche amate, alcune per essere cantate sul liuto. Canzoni innamorate, dispettose, furiose, erotiche. Nel 1621, divenuto Decano della cattedrale di St. Paul a Londra, predicatore e teologo visionario e tragico, dimenticò le felici testimonianze dell'appassionata giovinezza e solo dopo la morte fu possibile pubblicarle in Songs and Sonnets. Qui ne sono raccolte venti, scelte tra le più ardite e coinvolgenti, in genere dirette a una donna, "Oh mia America! mia Terra Nova", imperiosamente chiamata a condividere un grandissimo amore insondabile e misterioso nella sua chiusa stanza.
