Book Description

Writing is hard. Some writers believe they need a magical mindset. Others believe you must force yourself to write. Such pressures cause pointless suffering. A Trail of Crumbs to Creative Freedom proposes a more playful and forgiving approach. “Trail” tracks the creative recovery of the author, who—right after a manic episode—becomes creatively numb and plunges into a depression. Desperately blocked, she longs to re-experience the creative rush of writing her first novel and imagines a trail leading back to it. "More than anything,” she writes, “I wanted to go back. Back to the time before my episode when the ideas had flowed freely. I needed a road, a path, a map. Anything would have been welcome." To go back to the state of inspiration she remembers, the author probes the nature and source of creativity. Slowly and painfully, the author rediscovers her love for writing and the fun of creative exploration. A Trail of Crumbs to Creative Freedom is part autobiography, part inspiration, and part how-to. If you struggle with block, follow this trail of crumbs through the forest to reach the light of creative freedom. Pick up this book today and get started.

Book Description

What if you could escape all your problems to live in a beautiful virtual world where life is just a game? This is exactly what Christine does when she “moves to” Mirror Mountain. After suffering impossible losses, Christine surrenders her real life and even her memories to plug in full-time to an immersive virtual world. The rules here are simple: gain currency, build the most beautiful house you can, and try to win a prestigious award which will allow your incredible dream home to be “dragon-proofed,” safe forever from the randomized attacks of the great dragon Cipher. Whenever the dragon comes along, houses crumble to dust. The owners are left behind to roam the virtual world as disconnected, bodiless spirits. If Christine can make her house worthy of being dragon-proofed, maybe that strange, ghostly little boy will stop haunting the edges of her vision. Maybe she can finally shake free of whatever past she’s tried to bury and live happily ever after. The only catch is that the award is voted on by the elite previous winners, and their tastes are… extremely particular. Christine wants this award more than anything, but in order to make her house appealing to the winners, she will have to sacrifice everything she finds appealing about it herself. In the meantime, the ghost from her past keeps trying to tell her something—something urgent about the life she left behind and the world she has embraced. Can she face her fears of it for long enough to listen? The Dragon-Proofed House is Book 3 of the Torn Curtain Series. If you like science-fi with psychological depth, talking dragons, and fantastical settings, you will love this story by L.E. Henderson. Download this story today.

Two years after losing his baby brother, 13-year-old Caleb only wants a home that feels warm and friendly, not cold and vacant, and a mother who will be there for him. But just as he starts to recover from his grief, a strange man tries to kill Caleb too, plunging him into a desperate search for answers. The strangeness, however, just gets deeper. Ethereal lights beckon Caleb down a twisted path, leading—at last— to the most bizarre sight of all: a purple monster from his early childhood nightmares. Even crazier, the thing wants to be his friend. The monster tells Caleb that the true enemy, if unopposed, will destroy both of their worlds. The monster wants Caleb to join him on an epic quest. Caleb initially resists the warning, but his recent brush with death forces him to reconsider. Soon he finds himself in an alien world that is equal parts wonder and peril, in which the real and the imaginary become hard to tell apart. Can Caleb trust the monster? Is Caleb losing his mind? What will happen to Earth if the mission fails? The Ghosts of Chimera is a YA fantasy novel.

Book Description

Each time history repeats itself, so it's said, the price goes up. The twentieth century was a time of runaway growth in human population, consumption, and technology, placing a colossal load on all natural systems, especially earth, air, and water — the very elements of life. The most urgent questions of the twenty-first century are: where will this growth lead? can it be consolidated or sustained? and what kind of world is our present bequeathing to our future?In his #1 bestseller A Short History of Progress Ronald Wright argues that our modern predicament is as old as civilization, a 10,000-year experiment we have participated in but seldom controlled. Only by understanding the patterns of triumph and disaster that humanity has repeated around the world since the Stone Age can we recognize the experiment's inherent dangers, and, with luck and wisdom, shape its outcome.

Book Description

Whether defined by the carnivalesque excesses of Troma studios (The Toxic Avenger), the arthouse erotica of Radley Metzger and Doris Wishman, or the narrative experimentations of Abel Ferrara, Melvin Van Peebles, Jack Smith, or Harmony Korine, underground cinema has achieved an important position within American film culture. Often defined as "cult" and "exploitation" or "alternative" and "independent," the American underground retains separate strategies of production and exhibition from the cinematic mainstream, while its sexual and cinematic representations differ from the traditionally conservative structures of the Hollywood system. Underground U.S.A. offers a fascinating overview of this area of maverick moviemaking by considering the links between the experimental and exploitative traditions of the American underground.

Book Description

`A highly topical, interesting and lively analysis of ordinary internet use, based on both theoretically competent reflections and sound ethnographic material' - Joost van Loon, Reader in Social Theory at Nottingham Trent University Internet Society investigates internet use and it's implications for society through insights into the daily experiences of ordinary users. Drawing on an original study of non-professional, 'ordinary' users at home, this book examines how people interpret, domesticate and creatively appropriate the Internet by integrating it into the projects and activities of their everyday lives. Maria Bakardjieva's theoretical framework uniquely combines concepts from several schools of thought (social constructivism, critical theory, phenomenological sociology) to provide a conception of the user as an agent in the field of technological development and new media shaping. She: - examines the evolution of the Internet into a mass medium - interrogates what users make of this new communication medium - evaluates the social and cultural role of the Internet by looking at the immediate level of users' engagement with it - exposes the dual life of technology as invader and captive; colonizer and colonized This book will appeal to academics and researchers in social studies of technology, communication and media studies, cultural studies, philosophy of technology and ethnography.
