On the Las Vegas Strip, blockbuster casinos burst out of the desert, billboards promise "hot babes," actual hot babes proffer complimentary drinks, and a million happy slot machines ring day and night. It’s loud and excessive, but, as the Project on Vegas demonstrates, the Strip is not a world apart. Combining written critique with more than one hundred photographs by Karen Klugman, Strip Cultures examines the politics of food and water, art and spectacle, entertainment and branding, body and sensory experience. In confronting the ordinary on America’s most famous four-mile stretch of pavement, the authors reveal how the Strip concentrates and magnifies the basic truths and practices of American culture where consumerism is the stuff of life, digital surveillance annuls the right to privacy, and nature—all but destroyed—is refashioned as an element of decor.

I began writing this book in 2011 when I was living with my mother and step father in Rosny, Tasmania. My high school art teacher loved my poems, so I continued writing poems in my spare time. My technique varies and is totally freelance. I don't always use a set structure, sometimes I use verse or rhyme. I enjoy the freedom of writing poetry as there are no real rules. This book reflects my life experiences, from the mundane to significant events. I have drawn inspiration from reading, the dictionary is my best friend.

The show must go on it's just your stupid illusion ... These are the words of the protagonist of the John Tunner's last novel. In Fletcher's Day he mixed in a masterly fashion history, religion, symbols, and emotions. In this compelling novel Fletcher Cusack is the protagonist of an adventure that takes place mainly in a New York chaotic and full of light, seductive and tempting; The New York show business, apparently cynical and ruthless, where everything is a product to sell, but capable of many surprises. The story begins and draws inspiration from one of the most complex and abysmal masterpieces of literature of all time: the Bible. Fletcher will fight against a terrible opponent, the nature of man, and will face his enemy always among television shows, magic and ominous. Deeper in the folds of the plots drawn from the obscure Sheldon Blackwell, officially judge at the Federal Court of New York, Fletcher will run its course in search of answers, and must decide who to trust ... before the world changes irrevocably. One thing is certain, Fletcher's Day is a book we will deal with our deepest fears.

Jonathan Flite claims to have memories he can’t explain. Seven layers of them, to be exact, all belonging to a group of teenagers who disappeared from a place called Idle County in 2010—ten years before his birth. Seventeen years of anxiety, violent outbursts, and refusal to admit he is lying have landed him at Crescent Rehabilitation Center, a seaside juvenile center for rich kids, and nobody has ever dared to believe his memories might be real. Until now. On a blustery November day just three months after a nuclear terrorist attack in Geneva, Switzerland, ex-CIA psychiatrist Thomas Lumen arrives at Crescent to interview Jonathan for a book about Idle County. Fueled by his personal connection to the disappearances three decades earlier, he asks Jonathan to share what he knows—anything and everything. By reigniting this thirty-year-old mystery, however, Jonathan inadvertently becomes a target of the very same religious terrorists who attacked Geneva, and they’ll stop at nothing to keep the secrets of Idle County under wraps. Jonathan must then make a choice: to continue telling his story, or risk the safety of everyone he loves.
