Book Synopsis The Martian's Regress by : J. O. Morgan
Download or read book The Martian's Regress written by J. O. Morgan and published by Random House. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **SHORTLISTED FOR THE TS ELIOT PRIZE 2020** From the winner of the Costa Poetry Award A lone martian returns to Earth. He leaves behind him a hardened survivalist culture, its muddled myths and songs, its continued abuse of the environment that sustains it. During this journey back to the now-broken and long-abandoned mother planet, the martian begins to consider his own uncertain origins, and his own future. Cut off from his people, the martian's story is that of the individual: his duty at odds with his desire; the race of which he's still a part playing always on his mind, as well as the race that once was. This is the story of what life becomes when stripped of all that makes it worth living - of what humans become when they lose their humanity. The Martian's Regress is a brilliant, provocative, often darkly comic work that explores what a fragile environment eventually makes of those who persist in tampering with it.

Book excerpt: “This provocative and exciting book . . . makes a startling case for there being life on Mars.” —Whitley Strieber, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Communion The Martians is an in-depth study of the theory that Mars was once a world that teemed with life. Perhaps, even, life not too dissimilar to ours. Incredibly, the Martians may still be there. Alive. The questions that this book asks and answers include the following: • What kind of society did the Martians have? • What caused their world to become harsh and desert-like? • Did global warming or nuclear war ensure the extinction of the Martians? • Are Martian artifacts strewn about the surface, just waiting to be found by the likes of NASA? • Has NASA already found such evidence, but chosen to withhold such monumental finds from the public and the media? • Could some form of the Martians still exist, deeply below the surface of the planet, in secure installations that allow them to ensure their civilization continues? • What do we know about the Martian environment, its atmosphere, and its landscape? The Martians explores the CIA’s top-secret search for the Martians, multiple photos of strange anomalies, and the latest revelations about the environment and water on Mars. And most tantalizing of all: Did an ailing Martian race come to Earth in past eons and were they confused with gods? The questions concerning life on Mars—then and now—are many. The answers are astounding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the Blood Red Sphere? Hamilton Helios, cactus juice addict, PTSD survivor and scavenger doesn't know, but everyone else on Mars seems to think he does. Why are Earth's central government, the break-away barons of the Oort Cloud, the native Martians, and more than a few sadistic criminals willing to kill for a nondescript sphere of red lacquer? Helios wishes he knew. Whatever the reason, secret agents, psychopathic religious fanatics, law enforcement officials, and wild Martians are all on his tail. To make matters worse, his business partner has been murdered, and Helios himself is under suspicion. Will Hamilton Helios learn the secret of the Blood Red Sphere before it plunges all of Mars, if not the whole solar system, into war? Or will he, like so many others before him, die for that secret?

Download or read book Toxic Voices written by Eric Laursen and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-30 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satire and the fantastic, vital literary genres in the 1920s, are often thought to have fallen victim to the official adoption of socialist realism. Eric Laursen contends that these subversive genres did not just vanish or move underground. Instead, key strategies of each survive to sustain the villain of socialist realism. Laursen argues that the judgment of satire and the hesitation associated with the fantastic produce a narrative obsession with controlling the villain’s influence. In identifying a crucial connection between the questioning, subversive literature of the 1920s and the socialist realists, Laursen produces an insightful revision of Soviet literary history.

Book Synopsis The Civil War That Destroyed The World_s Greatest Ever Civilization by : Jim Hendleman
Download or read book The Civil War That Destroyed The World_s Greatest Ever Civilization written by Jim Hendleman and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-01-05 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the final sequel to the Jaredite’s civilization (What the Prophet Ether Couldn’t Tell Us) 1 and 2. This book concludes my trilogy of the Jaredite civilization and enumerates some of their many achievements and accomplishments. The Jaredite civilization is first mentioned within the Book of Mormon in Ether 1:42–44. Ether was later directed by God to remove everything about them save for their earliest beginnings at the Tower of Babel in Iraq and a few brief tales of their spiritual trials and wars up to their final civil war. Book 3 discusses some of the known causes of their civil war and is able to go into some detail about how the war was fought despite a decided lack of historical references. This is primarily because Zirchen wrote about very ancient Sumerian and Mesopotamian epic poems that were likely only partially translated into English from the original Sanskrit. The original authors elaborated to some extent on how our original fourth planet was caused to explode and become our asteroid belt. It seems that the Jaredite physics bordered on magic but only from the twenty-first-century perspective. They had weaponized the various components of weather such as lighting, thunder, wind, rain, etc. and used these components to destroy Tiamat, our original fourth planet, and its total population. The bad guys sought nothing less than total destruction and annihilation of the entirety of the Jaredite civilization and Mormonism. They used nuclear weapons in a manner designed to kill the most people, starve out those they couldn’t get to, and rid the world of our religion once and for all. This is obvious from their early morning sneak attack, their nuclear obliteration of the Jaredite capital city in the New York area, and their wanton nuclear destruction of Jaredite people and efforts within and throughout Egypt and in other parts of our planet. Mainstream archaeology refuses to address this civilization because it would reveal their canards about evolution, their false narrative about the origin of man, and their totally inaccurate dateline. The Jaredites settled and colonized South and North America, Lemuria, Antarctica, the British Isles, and most of Western Europe, plus the lands of China and India. For nearly 2,530 years, they maintained a solar system-wide civilization. Their structures and domed cities are on every planet, save Jupiter and Saturn, and all the larger moons, such as Ganymede and our Luna. My research has uncovered many details of Jaredite life and their physical characteristics that the prophet Ether was not allowed to tell us. The Jaredites built all of Egypt, not the Egyptians. Their Hindu colony fought at least two ancient internal nuclear wars. They colonized throughout our entire solar system; most moons and most planets have their cities or outposts mainly covered by seven-mile high glass domes, except Jupiter and Saturn. These two planets each have possible Star War-size moons that easily could be artificial space stations. Mars used to be a moon to its now exploded primary Tiamat, which is now the asteroid belt. Their Martian cities are so immense that New York City and Shanghai combined wouldn’t be considered a nickel in a handful of change in comparison to them. Jaredite leftovers are all over Earth if one knows when to look for them. As reflected by the European Space Agency, the Martian northern city covering Mars’ North Pole appears to be far larger than Japan. And their final long drawn out death.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Companion to Folk Horror by : Robert Edgar
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Folk Horror written by Robert Edgar and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-09 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Folk Horror offers a comprehensive guide to this popular genre. It explores its origins, canonical texts and thinkers, the crucial underlying themes of nostalgia and hauntology, and identifies new trends in the field. Divided into five parts, the first focuses on the history of Folk Horror from medieval texts to the present day. It considers the first wave of contemporary Folk Horror through the films of the ‘unholy trinity’, as well as discussing the influence of ancient gods and early Folk Horror. Part 2 looks at the spaces, landscapes, and cultural relics, which form a central focus for Folk Horror. In Part 3, the contributors examine the rich history of the use of folklore in children’s fiction. The next part discusses recent examples of Folk Horror-infused music and image. Chapters consider the relationship between different genres of music to Folk Horror (such as folk music, black metal, and new wave), sound and performance, comic books, and the Dark Web. Often regarded as British in origin, the final part analyses texts which break this link, as the contributors reveal the larger realms of regional, national, international, and transnational Folk Horror. Featuring 40 contributions, this authoritative collection brings together leading voices in the field. It is an invaluable resource for students and scholars interested in this vibrant genre and its enduring influence on literature, film, music, and culture.
Book Synopsis Lord of the Elves and Eldils by : Richard Purtill
Download or read book Lord of the Elves and Eldils written by Richard Purtill and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2011-05-09 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating look at the fantasy and philosophy of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien. The two men were friends and fellow professors at Oxford, renowned Christian thinkers who both "found it necessary to create for the purposes of their fiction other worlds not utopias or dystopias, but different worlds." "The great importance of [Lewis and Tolkien] is that they have succeeded in restating certain traditional values in a way that they make an imaginative appeal to a very wide audience, young and old, traditionalist and non-traditionalist." — Richard Purtill, Author, J.R.R. Tolkien: Myth, Morality, and Religion

Download or read book Martians written by Dave Kress and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. Dave Kress draws us into the tale of Ray "Gnat" Smith from a variety of perspectives: sometimes we read Gnat's first-person accounts, sometimes we find his discarded rants; occasionally, Gnat is simply a face in someone else's crowd, or his exploits related by a pack of narrators, some kind, others openly hostile. But Martians doesn't suggest that these perspectives add to each other or to our knowledge of Gnat; rather it asks readers to consider them as multiple subtractions: without identity, knowledge, or ethics, just what are humans and what kind of world do they inhabit? World travelers alien in their own skin? Accidents of a nature they themselves have constructed? Familiar and weird at the same time, Martians asks its readers to remove the linchpin holding together the ordinary--and then to stand back.

Book Synopsis Worlds Built to Fall Apart by : David Lapoujade
Download or read book Worlds Built to Fall Apart written by David Lapoujade and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophically analyzing the work of one of the twentieth century’s most popular, and peculiar, science fiction authors Despite his enduring popularity, Philip K. Dick (1928–1982)—whose short stories and novels were adapted into or influenced many major films and television shows, including Blade Runner, Total Recall, The Truman Show, and The Man in the High Castle—has long been a marginal figure in American literature, even in the science fiction genre he helped revolutionize. Here, an influential French philosopher offers a major new perspective on an author who was known as much for his eccentricities and excesses as for his writing. For David Lapoujade, it is precisely the many ways in which Dick’s works seem to hover on the brink of losing all touch with reality that make him such a singular figure, both as a sci-fi author and as a thinker of contemporary life. In Worlds Built to Fall Apart, Lapoujade defines sci-fi as a way of thinking through the creation of worlds and argues that Dick does so by creating worlds that fall rapidly to pieces. Whatever his mechanism to bring this about (drugs or madness, alien satellite transmissions or encroaching parallel universes), the effect is always to reveal reality to be a construction, in which certain people determine what appears as real to the rest of us. Orienting Dick within philosophy and drawing connections to a wide variety of other thinkers and artists, this remarkable reading shows how he proposes unstable, fluctuating futures in which tinkering with reality has become the best means of resisting total control. Engaging with most of Philip K. Dick’s published works, as well as with several of his essays and his notorious psychic autobiography The Exegesis, Lapoujade hones in on the “war of the psyches” that underlies Dick’s critique of reality. He puts Dick’s work in conversation with a vast array of subjects—from cybernetics to schizoanalysis, and from Pop art to David Lynch, J. G. Ballard, and William S. Burroughs—revealing Dick’s oeuvre to comprise a profound reality defined by artifice, precarity, and control. Retail e-book files for this title are screen-reader friendly.

Book Synopsis Wittgenstein’s Metametaphysics and the Realism-Idealism Debate by : Marius Bartmann
Download or read book Wittgenstein’s Metametaphysics and the Realism-Idealism Debate written by Marius Bartmann and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-12 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops a new Wittgenstein interpretation called Wittgenstein’s Metametaphysics. The basic idea is that one major strand in Wittgenstein’s early and later philosophy can be described as undermining the dichotomy between realism and idealism. The aim of this book is to contribute to a better understanding of the relation between language and reality and to open up avenues of dialogue to overcome deep divides in the research literature. In the course of developing a comprehensive and in-depth interpretation, the author provides fresh and original analyses of the latest issues in Wittgenstein scholarship and gives new answers to both major exegetical and philosophical problems. This makes the book an illuminating study for scholars and advanced students alike.

This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book defends and outlines the key issues surrounding the philosophy of content as demonstrated in Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations. The text shows how Wittgenstein's critical arguments concerning mind and meaning are destructive of much recent work in the philosophy of thought and language, including the representationalist orthodoxy. These issues are related to the work of Davidson, Rorty and McDowell among others.
