Book Synopsis Unnatural Texas? by : Robin W. Doughty
Download or read book Unnatural Texas? written by Robin W. Doughty and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-14 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of introduced species in Texas is long (hogs were introduced by European settlers in the 1500s) and fraught with controversy. In Unnatural Texas? The Invasive Species Dilemma, Robin W. Doughty and Matt Warnock Turner introduce the “big hitters” of invasive species in the state. They profile the usual suspects—feral hogs, salt cedar, and fire ants—and also lesser known invasives, such as cats and sparrows. Blending natural and environmental history with geography, this book is a much-needed, balanced exploration of invasive species in Texas. The distinctions between native and invasive are not hard and fast, and perceptions of what is invasive have changed over the centuries. A striking example, free-ranging cats—domestic, stray, and feral—can wreak havoc on small mammal and bird populations. There is not a one-size-fits-all solution for invasives, and removal or complete eradication may not be possible or even desirable. The dilemma of what to do about invasive species also raises moral, social, economic, and cultural questions. This engaging introduction to the concept of invasive species in Texas will provide context for readers and will educate people on this important issue facing the state.

Book Synopsis Transmedial Narratology and Contemporary Media Culture by : Jan-Noël Thon
Download or read book Transmedial Narratology and Contemporary Media Culture written by Jan-Noël Thon and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has become something of a cliché within the field of narratology to assert the commercial, aesthetic, and sociocultural relevance of narrative representations, but the fact remains that narratives are everywhere. Whenever we read a novel or a comic, watch a film or an episode of our favorite television series, or play the latest video game, we are likely to engage with narrative media. Similarly, the intermedial adaptations and transmedial entertainment franchises that have become increasingly visible during the past few decades are, at their core, narrative forms. Since a significant part of contemporary media culture is defined by the narratives we tell each other via various media, the media studies discipline needs a genuinely transmedial narratology. Transmedial Narratology and Contemporary Media Culture focuses on the intersubjective construction of storyworlds as well as on prototypical forms of narratorial and subjective representation. It provides not only a method for the analysis of salient transmedial strategies of narrative representation in contemporary films, comics, and video games but also a theoretical frame within which medium-specific approaches from literary and film narratology, from comics studies and game studies, and from various other strands of media and cultural studies may be employed to further our understanding of narratives across media. Jan-Noël Thon is a research associate in the Department of Media Studies at the University of Tübingen, Germany. He is the coeditor of a number of books on narrative and media studies, including From Comic Strips to Graphic Novels: Contributions to the Theory and History of Graphic Narrative and Storyworlds across Media: Toward a Media-Conscious Narratology (Nebraska, 2014).

Book Synopsis An Unreasonable Woman by : Diane Wilson
Download or read book An Unreasonable Woman written by Diane Wilson and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2005-09-15 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Diane Wilson, fourth-generation shrimp-boat captain and mother of five, learns that she lives in the most polluted county in the United States, she decides to fight back. She launches a campaign against a multibillion-dollar corporation that has been covering up spills, silencing workers, flouting the EPA, and dumping lethal ethylene dichloride and vinyl chloride into the bays along her beloved Texas Gulf Coast. In an epic tale of bravery, Wilson takes her fight to the courts, to the gates of the chemical plant, and to the halls of power in Austin. Along the way she meets with scorn, bribery, character assassination, and death threats. Finally Wilson realizes that she must break the law to win justice: She resorts to nonviolent disobedience, direct action, and hunger strikes. Wilson's vivid South Texas dialogue resides somewhere between Alice Walker and William Faulkner, and her dazzling prose brings to mind the magic realism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, replete with dreams and prophecies.
Book Synopsis Unnatural Perpetrators by : John Baltisberger

Book excerpt: Not every killer can be caught using conventional methods. When crimes are committed that are supernatural in nature, different methods must be employed, methods that can match, outwit, and ultimately stop these unnatural perpetrators. The UPD is the FBI's answer to this need. Dianna Saferstein is new to the department, and until recently didn't believe in magic, monsters, or faeries. Now she must work alongside mages, shapeshifters, and a tech-savvy gremlin in order to stop supernatural mass murders and protect the human populace of Texas. But even though she's now in the know, not everything is as it seems. When dealing with the occult, there is always another mystery to untangle and danger around every turn. Unnatural Perpetrators, Texas Case Files 1.1-1.3 gathers three novellas and a short story detailing the perilous adventures of the FBI's elite UPD team based in Houston Texas. Contains: Inhuman Error, Artifice of Flesh, The Pleasant Folk, and Justice Incorporeal.
Book Synopsis The Conquest of Texas by : Gary Clayton Anderson
Download or read book The Conquest of Texas written by Gary Clayton Anderson and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "At the very heart of Texas mythology are the Texas Rangers. Until now most histories have justified their actions and vilified their opponents. But Anderson tells how the Texas government encouraged the rangers to annihilate Indian villages, including women and children, spreading terror so that the survivors and neighboring Native groups would want to leave. The policy succeeded: by the 1870s, Indians had been driven from central and western Texas. Anderson offers a new paradigm for understanding the violence dominating Texas history. By confronting head-on the romanticized version of Texas history that made heroes of Houston, Lamar, and Baylor, this account helps us understand that the history of the Lone Star state is darker and more complex than the mythmakers allowed."--Book jacket.
