Download or read book On Not Looking written by Frances Guerin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Not Looking: The Paradox of Contemporary Visual Culture focuses on the image, and our relationship to it, as a site of "not looking." The collection demonstrates that even though we live in an image-saturated culture, many images do not look at what they claim, viewers often do not look at the images, and in other cases, we are encouraged by the context of exhibition not to look at images. Contributors discuss an array of images—photographs, films, videos, press images, digital images, paintings, sculptures, and drawings—from everyday life, museums and galleries, and institutional contexts such as the press and political arena. The themes discussed include: politics of institutional exhibition and perception of images; censored, repressed, and banned images; transformations to practices of not looking as a result of new media interventions; images in history and memory; not looking at images of bodies and cultures on the margins; responses to images of trauma; and embodied vision.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If you're a fan of Star Wars, the Red Rising trilogy, and basically anything space-related this could be you kind of story. However, the relationship and romance aspect is key to the story line!! So don't go into this book thinking its going to be all destroyer ships and battle scenes, because it's not!” “Nova is a firecracker with such compassion.” “I was drawn into Nova's world, the whole thing is so vividly painted I felt like I was living in it.” “I adore a good bit of sci-fi and hot-damn, Keary Taylor certainly didn’t disappoint.” “This is a brilliant story, and it’s a great example of Sci-Fi / Romance at its finest!” In the Eon galaxy, Dominion controls any planet with solid Neron deposits, and Nova just found out they’re coming for hers. Korpillion isn’t supposed to have any Neron—the galaxy’s purest form of energy—but Nova Ainsley has been working with the owner of a secret mine for months, building highly illegal weapons that can wield Neron. She wants off Korpillion, and selling these weapons will buy her and her father a ticket to another planet in the galaxy. Neron is incredible on its own, but there are those who can wield it to their will, granting them the ability to read minds, see the future, and destroy worlds—the Nero. But this is a galaxy where they are ceasing to exist, and Dominion owns the last one in the known universe, using him to take over and destroy billions of lives. An encounter with the last Nero shows Nova her future: it’s with him. She will stand by his side one day, her fingers laced through his, love and adoration in both their eyes, a dark queen to his evil, pawn king. Fate or destiny, Nova will do whatever it takes to change their future, and that of the galaxy. The Neron Rising Saga is a series of episodes. This set contains episodes 1-3, Neron Rising, Neron Skies, and Nero Awakening.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the dangerous expanse of the Eon galaxy, Nova Ainsley has discovered her home is about to be decimated by Dominion, seeking its invaluable Neron deposits. Desperate to escape with her father, Nova has been building highly illegal weapons fueled by Neron's immense power, and selling them on the black market. But her dangerous path is about to intertwine with the last Nero, Valen, a man feared as the most powerful being in the galaxy, the only person capable of wielding Neron to his will. One touch shows her the future—it’s with him—her fingers laced with his, love mingled with darkness. Their connection defies logic, and how can Nova reconcile her feelings and the way he looks at her, when she knows the truth of the terrible things Valen has done? As she uncovers her true identity and the secrets of the Nero, Nova sets off with a crew of fugitives in search of those who can train her to wield her newly awakened abilities. She won’t put her chosen family at risk. But this tangled web of danger and desire leaves her with an agonizing decision. The love between her and Valen could bring the entire galaxy to its knees. So, does she walk away from everything they could be, embrace her unlimited potential to end him, and save the galaxy from the fearsome man who holds her heart? Or does she risk it all, and try to change his heart? The Neron Rising Saga is a slow burn, medium spice romance. It features a morally gray hero and a heroine who is as reckless as she is headstrong. The Neron Rising Saga is a complete series of seven episodes. This special edition contains the entire series: Neron Rising, Neron Skies, Nero Awakening, Nero Blood, Nero Nights, Neron Wars, and Nero Kingdom.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Editors' Choice A Military Times Best Book of the Year J. Kael Weston spent seven years on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan working for the U.S. State Department. Upon returning home, traveling throughout the United States to pay his respects to the dead and wounded, he wondered what lessons, if any, could be learned from these wars. In this essential book, Weston questions, interprets, and explains our wars in the Middle East through a tapestry of voices—Iraqi, Afghan, and American—taking readers across California and Fallujah, Khost and Colorado. Along the way we meet generals, corporals, and captains, former Taliban fighters, Afghan schoolteachers, SEAL teams, imams, and many Marines. When will these wars end? How will they be remembered? Perhaps no one is better suited to tackle these important questions than Weston. The Mirror Test is an unflinching look at warfare and diplomacy, and a necessary reckoning with America’s actions abroad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Vietnam, while the air and land war grinds bloodily on, a few miles off shore in the South China Sea the fleet oiler USS Michigamme, AO 108, steams up and down the coast in operation Market Time. From Yankee Station in the north, deep in the Gulf of Tonkin, to Dixie Station in the Gulf of Siam far to the south, the men of Michigamme fight boredom, a corrupt system, and each other as they refuel (or in naval parlance, unrep) what ever ships of the U.S. Seventh Fleet they encounter that require it, from tiny wood-hulled MSO minesweepers doing solitary interdiction duty off the Mekong Delta to the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Enterprise, CVA 65, and her taskforce engaged in bombing Haiphong harbor. When her own bunkers run dry, Michigamme returns to the POL pier in Subic Bay, P.I. to put a Tiger in her tank and let the men have a little R & R in the fleshpots of Olongapo. On one such occasion she picks up a new man, a brigrat just out of incarceration on Guam for going AWOL. His name is Gus Rounds. We follow Rounds as he is introduced to his new ship and his new shipmates. He quickly earns the wrath of his future nemesis, Ted Holiday, BM1. But he is be-friended by Tick Peterson, PN2 in the Ships Office and cut some slack by Master Chief Gunnersmate Tom MacBriar. Captain Childress is aboard Michigamme, deep in the belly of ServPac, the wretched Service Fleet Pacific, and the bottom of the barrel as far as command status goes, for one reason only. Her draft. Fully laden she draws 48 feet of water, about the same as an aircraft carrier. Childress is a WWII flyboy hero who knows nothing about ships and is bucking for a carrier command, but to get it he needs some deep draft experience on his resume.Fortunately for Childress, his second in command, Executive Officer Jim Barden, is a competent seaman and navigator and he sees to all the actual details of the ships day to day performance. While Rounds is part of Deck Force we meet his fellow deckapes Red Dog, Tony Land, John Basham, and Denny Van Horn BM2, Holidays right hand man. We also meet Tim Case, ET3, Gary Middleshore, PN striker and many other members of Michigamme 212-man crew.With a little encouragement and Peterson greasing the wheels, Rounds gets out from under Holidays thumb on deck force and is allowed to;strike for gunner. After Tom MacBriars suicide, the Gunnery Department of Michigamme consists of Deke Buckles, GM2, Joe Cruz, GM3, and Rounds, seaman striker. Until BuPers in Washington can send a replacement for Chief MacBriar, Buckles is in charge of the gundecks. He and Holiday are at war. Holiday is also at war with Peterson over money Holiday owes to the illegal slush fund Peterson operates with Corpsman Jerry Steinberg. Then the an unknown officer steals Deke Buckles Filipina girlfriend, Trudy, and Buckles goes berserk, starting a riot in Olongapo and a war between Michigamme and Oklahoma City, flagship of Com7thFleet. Later he finds out that the officer is Captain Childress of the Michigamme, and the seeds to a mutiny are sown. First the Okie City, as she is known, is doused with black oil from stem to stern when Buckles and the rest of the gundeckers conspire with some snipes in Engineering to send the flagship a charged hose thus torpedoing Captain Childress career. But Buckles is killed in a helicopter accident and it falls on Gus Rounds to plot the Michigamme Mutiny. When push finally comes to shove its in a raging typhoon off the coast of Japan. Joe Cruz and Gus Rounds make their move and the gundeckers seize command of the ship by force. But by then the real question is whose ship is it anyway?

Download or read book Music for Unknown Journeys by Cristian Aliaga written by Benjamin Bollig and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the purpose of travel in an age when millions are displaced against their will or have no home to speak of in the first place? How can we travel without being tourists, without erasing the stories of those who live where we visit? These are some of the questions addressed in Cristian Aliaga's compelling collection of prose poems, Music for Unknown Journeys. This collection contains Aliaga's travelling sketches in the tradition of Matsuo Basho, John Berger, or W.G. Sebald. Each prose poem is geographically situated in his travels across Patagonia or his more recent journeys around the edge-lands of Europe. His work is politically acute, exploring struggles over territory, resources, and culture, in the places he visits. There is an intense emotional charge as he records the stories of those who globalization and contemporary capitalism have used and left behind. This volume brings together a generous selection of Aliaga's prose poems, the majority previously unseen in English, as well as a substantial introduction to the author's work and its context, both literary and political, by the editor and translator. Cristian Aliaga (b. 1962, Tres Cuervos, Province of Buenos Aires) is one of Argentina's foremost contemporary poets. His work has been highly praised in the TLS and elsewhere.

Download or read book David Smith written by Michael Brenson and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2022-10-04 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An essential account of America’s greatest sculptor . . . [A] magnum opus.” —Marjorie Perloff, The Times Literary Supplement The landmark biography of the inscrutable and brilliant David Smith, the greatest American sculptor of the twentieth century. David Smith, a pioneer of Abstract Expressionism, did more than any other sculptor of his era to bring the plastic arts to the forefront of the American scene. Central to his project of reimagining sculptural experience was challenging the stability of any identity or position—Smith sought out the unbounded, unbalanced, and unexpected, creating works of art that seem to undergo radical shifts as the spectator moves from one point of view to another. So groundbreaking and prolific were his contributions to American art that by the time Smith was just forty years old, Clement Greenberg was already calling him “the greatest sculptor this country has produced.” Michael Brenson’s David Smith: The Art and Life of a Transformational Sculptor is the first biography of this epochal figure. It follows Smith from his upbringing in the Midwest, to his heady early years in Manhattan, to his decision to establish a permanent studio in Bolton Landing in upstate New York, where he would create many of his most significant works—among them the Cubis, Tanktotems, and Zigs. It explores his at times tempestuous personal life, marked by marriages, divorces, and fallings-out as well as by deep friendships with fellow artists like Helen Frankenthaler and Robert Motherwell. His wife Jean Freas described him as “salty and bombastic, jumbo and featherlight, thin-skinned and Mack Truck. And many more things.” This enormous, contradictory vitality was true of his work as well. He was a bricoleur, a master welder, a painter, a photographer, and a writer, and he entranced critics and attracted admirers wherever he showed his work. With this book, Brenson has contextualized Smith for a new generation and confirmed his singular place in the history of American art.
