Cereal


Book Description

"Forty-nine percent of all Americans start their day with a bowl of cereal. It's the third most popular grocery item in the United States. Ed Daly, the Wilt Chamberlain of cereal consumption, has lovingly sampled every boxed breakfast he could get his hands on, penning humorous, pop-culture inspired analyses of each brand and its packaging. Upon losing his Wall Street job during the financial meltdown, Daly, a lifelong cereal connoisseur, took it upon himself to search out and eat every cereal on the market, having the boxes and variations of rolled oats, grains, flakes, marshmallows and puffs photographed, resulting in this humorous book"--From publisher's website.

Snap! Crackle! Fuck You!


Book Description

Welcome to Cerealand! A place where adults can relive their childhood desire while indulging in their most perverted fantasies! Our rides are x-rated, our cereal is alcoholic and our mascots aren't just people in suits - they are genetically mutated and reshaped into your favorite cereal mascots! Isn't that amazing!? At Cerealand, we are committed to making your experience as nostalgically hedonistic as possible! Something is rotten in Cereal Land and it's not just the rancid milk fountains. Things have been going downhill at the Amusement Park ever since the three daughters of Captain Crunch took over. Rides have been breaking down, attendance is low, and strange new mascots are showing up in the park. None of this would bother Lucky the Leprechaun so much, except for the fact that he thinks something might have happened to his ex-girlfriend who's gone missing. Something to do with all the strange businessmen that have been wandering the park lately. Something to do with the Security Soggies showing up in strange places. Teaming up with Sugar Bear, a leather daddy who helped design the park with Captain Crunch, Lucky hits the back alleys of Cerealand, forcing himself to confront his own demons and past as he ventures deeper into the milky mystery surrounding the disappearance of the Toucan Sam he once loved. Snap! Crackle! Fuck You! is part of a complete breakfast.




Shattered


Book Description

As bullets ring and bombs are dropped, children watch—mostly from the sidelines, but occasionally in the direct line of fire. Unaware of the political issues or power struggles behind the battle, all they know are the human, emotional consequences of this thing called war. This collection examines all of war’s implications for young people—from those caught in the line of fire to the children of the veterans of wars long past. Critically acclaimed author Jennifer Armstrong brings together 12 powerful voices in young people's literature to explore the realities of war from a child's perspective. The settings vary widely—the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, an attempted coup in Venezuela, the American Civil War, crisis in the Middle East—but the effects are largely the same. In war, no life is ever left untouched. In war, lives are shattered.

Sounding Composition


Book Description

In Sounding Composition Steph Ceraso reimagines listening education to account for twenty-first century sonic practices and experiences. Sonic technologies such as audio editing platforms and music software allow students to control sound in ways that were not always possible for the average listener. While digital technologies have presented new opportunities for teaching listening in relation to composing, they also have resulted in a limited understanding of how sound works in the world at large. Ceraso offers an expansive approach to sonic pedagogy through the concept of multimodal listening—a practice that involves developing an awareness of how sound shapes and is shaped by different contexts, material objects, and bodily, multisensory experiences. Through a mix of case studies and pedagogical materials, she demonstrates how multimodal listening enables students to become more savvy consumers and producers of sound in relation to composing digital media, and in their everyday lives.
