Recounted through a well-selected collection of photographs, this discussion relates a succession of advancements and risk taking, chronicling the evolution of space tourism. Travelling back to the almost simultaneous beginnings of aviation and rocketry, this analysis highlights the crucial names in the industry, honouring them with "The Wright Stuff" awards for their contributions. Illustrating how today's tickets to space have been made possible not just by entrepreneurs and engineers but also by the efforts of artists, regulators, politicians, and some of the earliest aviators, this exploration also touches on today's rapid expansion phase of Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic space flights. Clearly depicting how a commercial business can emerge in this swiftly growing field, this unique investigation also provides examples of how space tourists are helping to create reusable technologies of benefit to all.

Superpowers are real, but they come with a price. Mathilda Brandt is one of the Empowered: men and women who possess extraordinary abilities that set them apart from the rest of humanity. The rare few who do become Empowered face a stark choice. They must either join the Hero Council, following any and all orders in the service of protecting humanity, or forswear ever using their power. Mathilda rejected that choice and went rogue, joining a hidden community of other rogue Empowered. Captured by the authorities, she was sent to prison. Five years later, she’s been paroled from Special Corrections and just wants to live a normal life. Only the world won’t let her. To save her family, she joins a secretive government agency, with orders to infiltrate the world’s most notorious rogue Empowered group. Mat’s assignment becomes not only a private war to stop deadly Empowered threats to the world, but a quest to uncover the secrets behind those extraordinary abilities. But will she and the rest of humanity survive her learning the truth? This eBook collection includes the entire Empowered series: all five novels--Agent, Traitor, Outlaw, Rebel, and Hero--as well as the prequel novella Renegade and linking short story “Nullified.”

Film and television create worlds, but they are also of a world, a world that is made up of stuff, to which humans attach meaning. Think of the last time you watched a movie: the chair you sat in, the snacks you ate, the people around you, maybe the beer or joint you consumed to help you unwind—all this stuff shaped your experience of media and its influence on you. The material culture around film and television changes how we make sense of their content, not to mention the very concepts of the mediums. Focusing on material cultures of film and television reception, The Stuff of Spectatorship argues that the things we share space with and consume as we consume television and film influence the meaning we gather from them. This book examines the roles that six different material cultures have played in film and television culture since the 1970s—including video marketing, branded merchandise, drugs and alcohol, and even gun violence—and shows how objects considered peripheral to film and television culture are in fact central to its past and future.
