Book excerpt: Ellie Stone is a professed modern girl in 1960s' New York City, playing by her own rules and breaking boundaries while searching for a killer among the renowned scholars in Columbia University's Italian Department. "If you were a man, you'd make a good detective." Ellie Stone is sure that Sgt. McKeever meant that as a compliment, but that identity-a girl wanting to do a man's job-has throttled her for too long. It's 1960, and Ellie doesn't want to blaze any trails for women; she just wants to be a reporter, one who doesn't need to swat hands off her behind at every turn. Adrift in her career, Ellie is back in New York City after receiving news that her estranged father, a renowned Dante scholar and distinguished professor, is near death after a savage bludgeoning in his home. The police suspect a routine burglary, but Ellie has her doubts. When a second attempt is made on her father's life, in the form of an "accident" in the hospital's ICU, Ellie's suspicions are confirmed. Then another professor turns up dead, and Ellie's investigation turns to her father's university colleagues, their ambitions, jealousies, and secret lives. Ellie embarks on a thorny journey of discovery and reconciliation, as she pursues an investigation that offers her both a chance at redemption in her father's eyes, and the risk of losing him forever.

Book excerpt: The Rock History Reader is an eclectic compilation of readings that tells the history of rock as it has been received and explained as a social and musical practice throughout its six decade history. The readings range from the vivid autobiographical accounts of such rock icons as Ronnie Spector and David Lee Roth to the writings of noted rock critics like Lester Bangs and Chuck Klosterman. It also includes a variety of selections from media critics, musicologists, fanzine writers, legal experts, sociologists and prominent political figures. Many entries also deal specifically with distinctive styles such as Motown, punk, disco, grunge, rap and indie rock. Each entry includes headnotes, which place it in its historical context. This second edition includes new readings on the early years of rhythm & blues and rock ‘n’ roll, as well as entries on payola, mods, the rise of FM rock, progressive rock and the PMRC congressional hearings. In addition, there is a wealth of new material on the 2000s that explores such relatively recent developments as emo, mash ups, the explosion of internet culture and new media, and iconic figures like Radiohead and Lady Gaga. With numerous readings that delve into the often explosive issues surrounding censorship, copyright, race relations, feminism, youth subcultures, and the meaning of musical value, The Rock History Reader continues to appeal to scholars and students from a variety of disciplines.

Book Synopsis Sex and the River Styx by : Edward Hoagland
Download or read book Sex and the River Styx written by Edward Hoagland and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02-18 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Called the best essayist of his time by luminaries like Philip Roth, John Updike, and Edward Abbey, Edward Hoagland brings readers his ultimate collection. In Sex and the River Styx, the author's sharp eye and intense curiosity shine through in essays that span his childhood exploring the woods in his rural Connecticut, his days as a circus worker, and his travels the world over in his later years. Here, we meet Hoagland at his best: traveling to Kampala, Uganda, to meet a family he'd been helping support only to find a divide far greater than he could have ever imagined; reflecting on aging, love, and sex in a deeply personal, often surprising way; and bringing us the wonder of wild places, alongside the disparity of losing them, and always with a twist that brings the genre of nature writing to vastly new heights. His keen dissection of social realities and the human spirit will both startle and lure readers as they meet African matriarchs, Tibetan yak herders, circus aerialists, and the strippers who entertained college boys in 1950s Boston. Says Howard Frank Mosher in his foreword, the self-described rhapsodist "could fairly be considered our last, great transcendentalist."

Book excerpt: Books One and TwoFor Love of WarAres, the Greek god of War, has fallen on hard times. Modern technology has left him a proverbial fish out of water, relegated to finding a poor substitute for battle in rough biker bar fistfights. When Hermes shows up with an offer from Zeus, king of the gods, Ares thinks he's finally found a way to regain his past glory.A demigod on Earth has come into his powers, and they're strong enough to send a ripple through Olympus. Zeus needs the fledgling demigod dead. Dion, the demigod in question, has no idea of his Olympian roots until he wakes up to find Ares there to kill him. But Dion isn't totally defenseless, and Ares soon discovers he's caught in a web of lies that only the Fates will be able to untangle.Styx and StonesAt his wits' end and in need of a decent night of sleep, Hermes seeks a nap in what he feels will be the place where he's least likely to be disturbed - the Underworld. Although he aims for the Elysian Fields, he misjudges his landing and ends up in a decrepit castle full of dirt, mold, bugs, and rats - and the stunningly gorgeous, epically dangerous god of Death, Thanatos.Thanatos has been cursed to remain in the horrid castle until another god lets him out. Hermes, he reasons, is exactly who he needs to gain his freedom, whether Hermes likes it or not, but in escaping, he finds himself literally chained to Hermes.To gain their freedom from one another and the revenge Thanatos seeks for being locked up for centuries on false pretenses, they must confront powerful, often bloodthirsty gods, and possibly incur the wrath of the most powerful creatures in the Universe - The Fates.
Download or read book Sonic Warfare written by Steve Goodman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-08-24 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the production, transmission, and mutation of affective tonality—when sound helps produce a bad vibe. Sound can be deployed to produce discomfort, express a threat, or create an ambience of fear or dread—to produce a bad vibe. Sonic weapons of this sort include the “psychoacoustic correction” aimed at Panama strongman Manuel Noriega by the U.S. Army and at the Branch Davidians in Waco by the FBI, sonic booms (or “sound bombs”) over the Gaza Strip, and high-frequency rat repellants used against teenagers in malls. At the same time, artists and musicians generate intense frequencies in the search for new aesthetic experiences and new ways of mobilizing bodies in rhythm. In Sonic Warfare, Steve Goodman explores these uses of acoustic force and how they affect populations. Traversing philosophy, science, fiction, aesthetics, and popular culture, he maps a (dis)continuum of vibrational force, encompassing police and military research into acoustic means of crowd control, the corporate deployment of sonic branding, and the intense sonic encounters of sound art and music culture. Goodman concludes with speculations on the not yet heard—the concept of unsound, which relates to both the peripheries of auditory perception and the unactualized nexus of rhythms and frequencies within audible bandwidths.
