Book Description

An io9 Can't Miss Science Fiction and Fantasy title in March 2014. Martin Banks is just a normal guy who has made an abnormal discovery: he can manipulate reality, thanks to reality being nothing more than a computer program. With every use of this ability, though, Martin finds his little "tweaks" have not escaped notice. Rather than face prosecution, he decides instead to travel back in time to the Middle Ages and pose as a wizard. What could possibly go wrong? An American hacker in King Arthur's court, Martin must now train to become a full-fledged master of his powers, discover the truth behind the ancient wizard Merlin...and not, y'know, die or anything.

Book Description

An ARTery Best Book of the Year An Art of Manliness Best Book of the Year In a culture that has become progressively more skeptical and materialistic, the desires of the individual self stand supreme, Mark Edmundson says. We spare little thought for the great ideals that once gave life meaning and worth. Self and Soul is an impassioned effort to defend the values of the Soul. “An impassioned critique of Western society, a relentless assault on contemporary complacency, shallowness, competitiveness and self-regard...Throughout Self and Soul, Edmundson writes with a Thoreau-like incisiveness and fervor...[A] powerful, heartfelt book.” —Michael Dirda, Washington Post “[Edmundson’s] bold and ambitious new book is partly a demonstration of what a ‘real education’ in the humanities, inspired by the goal of ‘human transformation’ and devoted to taking writers seriously, might look like...[It] quietly sets out to challenge many educational pieties, most of the assumptions of recent literary studies—and his own chosen lifestyle.” —Mathew Reisz, Times Higher Education “Edmundson delivers a welcome championing of humanistic ways of thinking and living.” —Kirkus Reviews

When American Fairy Tales first appeared, Baum's reputation as a storyteller had already been established by The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written in 1900.

Book Description

What do we mean by the term "animation" when we are discussing film? Is it a technique? A style? A way of seeing or experiencing "a world" that has little relation to our own lived experience of "the world"? In Animated Worlds, contributors reveal the astonishing variety of "worlds" animation confronts us with. Essays range from close film analyses to phenomenological and cognitive approaches, spectatorship, performance, literary theory, and digital aesthetics. Authors include Vivian Sobchack, Richard Weihe, Thomas Lamarre, Paul Wells, and Karin Wehn.

Book Description

"Where are you going?" Dorothy asked, offering them a handful of fresh-picked wild gooseberries. "Mama and I are going to the Emerald City to ask the Wizard of Oz to make me taller." Dorothy beamed at them. "That will be wonderful. If the Wizard of Oz can't make you taller, you can accompany the two of us to Kansas in the morning. I know that you'll grow taller there, because I'll feed you lots of delicious Kansas corn. It makes everyone grow tall." Fed up with being picked on for being short, Rosebud travels to the Emerald City with her mama to visit the Wizard of Oz—their plan is to ask the Wizard of Oz to make Rosebud taller. Along the way, they run into Dorothy and Toto. Dorothy suggests Rosebud accompany them on their trip to Kansas. When plans go haywire and Rosebud, instead of Dorothy, ends up in the Wizard's hot air balloon, the Wizard and Rosebud go with the flow and travel across many lands. As these two embark on their journey to Kansas, they encounter a set of trials and tribulations. Will they be able to save the doomed village of the colorful Teeny-taints? Can they escape the hideous, evil wizard who is trying to kill them? Will Rosebud make it to Kansas and get her wish to be taller and no longer be picked on? Find out in the exciting adventure of the Wizard of Oz...Where is He Now?
