This anthology of work by Asian and Pacific Islander (API) prisoners is the first book to highlight the unique stories and perspectives of this growing prisoner population in the U.S. In total, 22 talented API prisoner writers, poets, and artists have contributed to this anthology, which was initiated and co-edited by Eddy Zheng, who was recently released from prison and immigration detention after over two decades behind bars.
Through original poetry, vignettes, essays, first-hand narratives, interviews, and drawings, these prisoners cover topics such as the factors that led to their incarceration, the cruelty that occurs in prisons and immigration detention jails, and the harsh reality of deportation that awaits many API prisoners. By offering readers a glimpse into their innermost fears, regrets, and dreams, these prisoners have contributed an important voice to our society's discussion around race, immigration, and prison issues. Contributors to this anthology are Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino, Hmong, Japanese, Korean, Laotian, Mien, Tongan, and Vietnamese; some are immigrant, refugees, indigenous or adopted. One is transgender, another is female.
OTHER includes a preface by Helen Zia. The book is edited by Eddy Zheng and Ben Wang, designed by Joy Liu, RevoluXinDesigns.com, and is a project of the Asian Prisoner Support Committee (APSC). apscinfo@gmail.com

Eddy Current is insane. At least that's what the world deems him to be. The very same world he intends to save. A window of opportunity opens, literally, allowing our hero to escape the asylum he calls home. Bed-check isn't until 6am, giving him 12 hours of freedom to accomplish his hero-given quest. Joined by a massive wall-of-a-woman called Nun, Eddy will live an adventure filled with the depths of humanities darkest crevices, as well as the heights and power of friendship and redemption. A Don Quixote for the 21st century, Eddy Current will stay with you long after you've finished reading. From one of the most critically acclaimed graphic novelists of our time, Ted McKeever, this volume features all 12 issues of Eddy Current, plus unused art, and a slew of extras.

Solid McKeever (2010-02-22)
Perhaps Ted McKeever's most wild and entertaining work, the creation of Eddy Current, an escaped lunatic from an asylum who believes he has superhero powers, gives the writer/artist free reign to indulge in the wildest of adventures and push his scratchy drawings to expressionistic lengths.
Eddy's not insane and doesn't know why he is in an asylum, but inspired by the adventures of his comic book hero the Amazing Broccoli, Eddy purchases a Dynamic Fusion power suit from one of the ads in the comic book, hoping to realise his true potential. If only batteries had been supplied, Eddy wouldn't have had to plug himself into the mains, but when the activation of his suit brings the power down in the asylum, Eddy realises he has 12 hours to explore the city of Chad, right wrongs and perhaps find his old girlfriend. Instead he runs into a couple of violent backstreet criminals, is worshipped as the second coming by an unusual nun and, naturally in a Ted McKeever storyline, stumbles upon a fiendish apocalyptic plot to take over control of the city.
The artwork is dark and harsh, almost abstract in places, some scenes meaningfully referencing Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, but in return Miller seems to have learned something from McKeever's stylish stark black-and-white compositions for his later Sin City work. The expressionism of his artwork and the apocalyptic storylines would find new depth in the coloration of Plastic Forks and in Metropol, full of dysfunctional characters that can also be found in The Extremist and Industrial Gothic, but Eddy Current sees the essential characteristics of McKeever's scripting and artwork in all their raw beauty.
Like Transit and Metropol, published alongside this in Image's new Ted McKeever Library, this is a little on the expensive side, but is a fine, hardcover edition, solid and heavy as as a brick, collecting the whole series and a few extra pieces.
My favorite work by Ted McKeever...but I'm always looking for more! (2009-04-03)
If you're new to the world of Ted McKeever (but curious) and you're looking for something far off the beaten path, then I strongly recommend Eddy Current. I first read the book when it was originally released as a 12 issue series back in the late 1980's, and its stuck with me ever since. The story of Eddy, an insane young man who has twelve hours to roam the outside world (before the folks at the insane asylum realize he's missing) becomes a journey rife with mythological (and apocalyptic) undertones, culminating in a very satisfying (and sad) wrap up.
Great, thought provoking stuff.Ted McKeever Library Book 2: Eddy Current (Ted Mckeever Library) (Ted Mckeever Library)

This book tells the story of the International Labour Organization, founded in 1919 in the belief that universal and lasting peace goes hand in hand with social justice. Since then the ILO has contributed to the protection of the vulnerable, the fight against unemployment, the promotion of human rights, the development of democratic institutions, and the improvement of the working lives of women and men everywhere. In its history the ILO has sometimes thrived, sometimes suffered setbacks, but always survived to pursue its goals through the political and economic upheavals of the last ninety years.
The authors have between them many years of experience of working in and studying the ILO. They explore some of the main ideas that the ILO has developed and championed, and tell how they were applied, and to what effect, at different times and in different parts of the world. There are chapters on rights at work, the quality of employment, income protection, employment, poverty reduction, a fair globalization, and today's overriding goal of decent work for all. The book ends with reflections on the challenges ahead in a world where the present economic crisis underlines the urgency of global action for social justice.

This book comprises a comprehensive survey of the most recent research being done on corporate governance in the triad -- Europe (with particular emphasis on Germany and the UK), the US and Japan. The comparative nature of the research brings forth new insights which studies conducted within one system may fail to produce. The contributors to this volume represent a unique sample of scholars from throughout the triad and across disciplines.

Numerical methods for solving low frequency electromagnetic field problems--many of which refer to eddy currents appearing in various electromagnetic devices--have been developed and utilized with increasing success in recent years. Originally such problems were tackled by analytical solutions limited to simple geometries and linear materials. In practice, however, all electromagnetic devices have complex boundaries, include non-linear materials, and may be treated exclusively by numerical methods. This book provides a systematic, mathematical simulation of existing methods and discusses the discretization of relevant equations. Methods described include finite difference, finite sums, finite element, boundary element, and some variants. Physical connotations of methods and problems are also given. Written by top experts in the field, this book fills the need among professional electrical engineers and graduate students for both a theoretical and practical approach to this important topic.

Nonlinear Diffusion of Electromagnetic Fields covers applications of the phenomena of non-linear diffusion of electromagnetic fields, such as magnetic recording, electromagnetic shielding and non-destructive testing, development of CAD software, and the design of magnetic components in electrical machinery. The material presented has direct applications to the analysis of eddy currents in magnetically nonlinear and hysteretic conductors and to the study of magnetization processes in electrically nonlinear superconductors. This book will provide very valuable technical and scientific information to a broad audience of engineers and researchers who are involved in these diverse areas.
