- The ghost apple : a novel / by Thier, Aaron.(CARDINAL)405510;
At the turn of the eighteenth century, John Morehead Tripoli is marooned on the unspoiled Caribbean island of St. Renard, where he lives for an idyllic year in a community of Carawak Indians. Three hundred years later, the Carawak are gone, St. Renard is carpeted with banana plantations and sugarcane fields, and Tripoli himself is remembered only through his grandson, founder of New Hampshire's Tripoli College, which maintains a branch campus on the island. The college, never prosperous, has been forced to enter into a coercive financial relationship with snack food giant Big Anna Brands, the same corporation that controls most of the land on St. Renard. Big Anna deposes the college president, uses students and faculty as test subjects for a "dietary and mood additive" called Malpraxalin, and hijacks the St. Renard campus for a "field studies" program. At the heart of this twisted satire are two souls in transition. Bill Brees is a grandfatherly dean, "undercover" as Tripoli freshman and bemused by how things have changed since his undergrad days. Maggie Bell is an African-American student, startled into the realization that nothin really changes at all. When these unlikely friends both elect to spend their spring semesters in the Caribbean, they will see a side of Big Anna even uglier than they could have imagined. The Ghost Apple develops through a varied and colorful collection of documents, including tourism pamphlets, blog posts, slave narratives, and personal correspondence. Slowly these texts reveal the extent of Tripoli's current crisis, and highlight those historical crises in the midst of which the college - and the nation - were founded. -- Jacket flap.

- LGBTQ in the 21st century / by H.W. Wilson Company,compiler.(CARDINAL)142786;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 175-177) and index.Issues explored in this title include the role of non-traditional same-sex families, and expanded protections for transgender people under the framework of civil rights. The acronym LGBTQ, standing for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer, is an acronym created to refer to a broad group of people, living around the world and coming from a wide variety of different creeds and cultures, whose behavior is seen as "nonconformist" with regard to mainstream concepts of gender and sexuality. For most of history, those who failed to conform with mainstream ideas about gender and sexuality were forced to hide their behavior or face social and legal penalties that could even include execution. Over time, LGBTQ people have fought for equal rights under the law and the right to express their sexuality or gender without reprisal. The primary issues in the United States surrounding LGBTQ individuals concern the degree to which individuals have the right to determine their own gender and sexual identity and whether other individuals have the right to discriminate against LGBTQ individuals based on their cultural, religious, or personal beliefs. - Publisher/Preface
