I'll make a wild guess: Mac isn't the first operating system you've used. In fact, if you are like most people, you are probably a Windows person. But you've heard a lot of good things about Mac's, it works alongside your phone, and it "Just works"--so you have decided to make the switch. It's not the most complicated operating system--in fact, it's simpler than Windows once you dig into it a little bit and start using it. But there is still a learning curve. This book was written with Window users in mind. I'll walk you through how to use it, but also compare it to Windows--so if there's a feature you're used to in Windows, I'll show you where that same feature is in MacOS. It's not a comprehensive guide, as you have probably noted by the number of pages. It's meant to be a guide that gets you up and running as quickly as possible. If you are looking for something that teaches you all about Unix command prompts in Terminal, then there are plenty of heftier books out there that are also excellent for doorstops. This book is for people who just want to know how the darn thing works so they can start using it I purposely have done my best to make this handbook a little more casual and fun then what you expect from most Mac OS manuals. Mac OS is an operating system, and any guide you read should be an equally fun read. This book is based off the bestselling Mac "The Ridiculously Simple Guide to MacBook, iMac, and Mac Mini." Are you ready to start enjoying the new Mac OS? Then let's get started

The prospect of posthumous citizenship bears important implications for debates over the legal rights of the dead, social histories of burial customs and famous cadavers, and the political theory of citizenship and social death.

Figures of Injustice in American Literature

Dead Women Talking

Norman traces a neo-segregation narrative tradition--one that developed in tandem with neo-slave narratives--by which writers return to a moment of stark de jure segregation to address contemporary concerns about national identity and the persistence of racial divides.

Brian Norman uncovers a curious phenomenon in American literature: dead women who nonetheless talk. These characters appear in works by such classic American writers as Poe, Dickinson, and Faulkner as well as in more recent works by Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, Tony Kushner, and others. These figures are also emerging in contemporary culture, from the film and best-selling novel The Lovely Bones to the hit television drama Desperate Housewives. Dead Women Talking demonstrates that the dead, especially women, have been speaking out in American literature since well before it was fashionable. Norman argues that they voice concerns that a community may wish to consign to the past, raising questions about gender, violence, sexuality, class, racial injustice, and national identity. When these women insert themselves into the story, they do not enter precisely as ghosts but rather as something potentially more disrupting: posthumous citizens. The community must ask itself whether it can or should recognize such a character as one of its own. The prospect of posthumous citizenship bears important implications for debates over the legal rights of the dead, social histories of burial customs and famous cadavers, and the political theory of citizenship and social death. -- Leonard Cassuto, author of Hard-Boiled Sentimentality: The Secret History of American Crime Stories
