A stolen Hollywood treasure. A sealed FBI affidavit. A former Secret Service agent labeled "the Florida mystery man."

The true story behind the recovery of the world's most famous pair of shoes.

When the iconic ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz vanished from the Judy Garland Museum in 2005, the theft ignited a nationwide mystery. Thirteen years later, when the slippers resurfaced, the public believed the case was solved. But the truth behind the investigation has never been fully told-until now.

In Under the Rainbow, author Jeff Keene II conducts exclusive, in-depth interviews with Michael Insabella, a former Secret Service agent whose unexpected involvement in the ruby slippers investigation raised questions the FBI never answered. What begins as a simple lead unravels into a story of secrecy, misrepresentation, and high-stakes image management inside America's most powerful law-enforcement agency.

Temporary and Gig Economy Workers in China and Japan: The Culture of Unequal Work
While a large number of studies exist on political-economic institutional explanations for the prevalence of precarious work, few have delved into the elusive yet critical domain of culture. This is highly pertinent to China and Japan whose shared tradition of Confucianism (broadly defined) continues to inform many aspects of society. In particular, core values such as hierarchy, harmony, and the subordination of individual interests to collective requirements impinge importantly on the iniquitous patterns of precarious work and its surrounding institutions ranging from state policy and legislation to industrial relations and social welfare. The pervasiveness and entrenched nature of culture has been especially evidenced by Japan's distinctly gendered and China's rural-urban citizenship-based labour market stratifications. <p/>By bridging culture and institutions, <em>Temporary and Gig Economy Workers in China and Japan</em> brings a more integrated and nuanced understanding of unequal work, casting fresh light on social change in China, Japan, and beyond. Emphasis is placed not only on macro-level structural scrutiny but also on micro-agency empiricism, i.e. real people's experiences in everyday life. This holistic and comparative approach, as demonstrated by the book, will go a long way towards tackling the negative consequences of precarious work in a wider post-pandemic world.
