Book excerpt: “It was the most goddamn fun I’ve had in thirty thousand years.” Garth Nickels regrets a lot of things he’s said in his life, but those twelve words rank highest on his list. He said them, though, and there’s nothing he can do except change. Warned that his actions since coming to Hospitalis have been driven by the very thing he seeks, Garth resolves to undertake a new, less violent approach to his goals ... a worthy plan given his newest ... ‘problem’: He’s become a celebrity. Surviving the Port Disaster, defeating an augmented soldier in hand-to-hand combat in The Game, donating billions of dollars to the relief effort and offering to essentially build a new spaceport for Hospitalis ... all this has transformed him into something of a systemic hero. How in the hell can he get into The Box if every camera, every reporter, every man, woman, child and avatar in Latelyspace is looking for an autograph or an interview? Still as desperate as ever to get into The Box, Garth begins laying down roots in his adopted city, preparing for the future, preparing to one day -hopefully soon- discover the truth behind his existence, the reasons he slept for thirty thousand years ... everything. First, though, he has to survive a date with Naoko Kamagana. The two lovebirds decide to take a day off so he can get a better view of just how very important The Museum, The Box and The Game are to Latelians. When The Museum becomes the scene of a terrorist action that pushes the Chairwoman and the OverCommander into revealing the true military might of the Latelian Regime, when Chadsik al-Taryin decides to ‘protect’ the man he’s been hired to kill, when Trinity begins to unveil It’s manipulations... It becomes exceptionally difficult for Garth to take the high road.
Book Synopsis Subversive Institutions by : Valerie Bunce
Download or read book Subversive Institutions written by Valerie Bunce and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-01-28 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1989 to 1992, all of the socialist dictatorships in Europe (including the Soviet Union) collapsed, as did the Soviet bloc. Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia dismembered, and the Cold War international order came to an abrupt end. Based on a series of controlled comparisons among regimes and states, Valerie Bunce argues in this book that two factors account for these remarkable developments: the institutional design of socialism as a regime, a state, and a bloc, and the rapid expansion during the 1980s of opportunities for domestic and international change. When combined, institutions and opportunities explain not just when, how, and why these regimes and states disintegrated, but also some of the most puzzling features of these developments - why, for example, the collapse of socialism was largely peaceful and why Yugoslavia, but not the Soviet Union or Czechoslovakia, disintegrated through war.

Book Synopsis Subversive Spirituality by : Eugene H. Peterson
Download or read book Subversive Spirituality written by Eugene H. Peterson and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 1997-06-27 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Subversive Spirituality Peterson has gathered together a host of writings penned over the past twenty-five years that reflect on the overlooked facets of the spiritual life. Comprising occasional pieces, short biblical studies, poetry, pastoral readings, and interviews, this work captures the epiphanies of life with the pleasing pastoral style and inspiring depth of insight for which Peterson is well known. Peterson describes his book this way: "This gathering of articles and essays, poems and conversations, is a kind of kitchen midden of my noticings of the obvious in the course of living out the Christian life in the vocational context of pastor, writer, and professor. The randomness and repetitions and false starts are rough edges that I am leaving as is in the interests of honesty. Spirituality is not, by and large, smooth. I do hope, however, that these pieces will be found to be freshly phrased".

Book Synopsis Facts are Subversive by : Timothy Garton Ash
Download or read book Facts are Subversive written by Timothy Garton Ash and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timothy Garton Ash is well known as an astute and penetrating observer of a dazzling array of subjects, not least through his many contributions to the New York Review of Books. This collection of his essays from the last decade reveals his knack for ferreting out exceptional insights into a troubled world, often on the basis of firsthand experience. Whether he is writing about how “liberalism” has become a dirty word in American political discourse, the problems of Muslim assimilation in Europe, Ukraine’s Orange Revolution, Günter Grass’s membership in the Waffen-SS, or the angry youth of Iran, Garton Ash combines a gimlet eye for detail with deep knowledge of the history of his chosen subjects. Running through this book is the author’s insistence that, whatever some postmodernists might claim, there are indeed facts—and we have both a political and a moral duty to establish them. By practicing what it preaches, Facts Are Subversive shows why Timothy Garton Ash is one of the world’s leading political writers. “The best and most perceptive political writer of our time . . . This book shines the clearest of lights on an entire decade.”—John Simpson “One of the most reliable and acute observers of the past present, able to report on events as a witness and, simultaneously, assess them with a coolness of judgment that almost always holds up over time.”—George Packer, New York Times Book Review “One of the most enjoyable political books you’ll read this year.”—GQ

Book Synopsis Irishness on the Margins by : Pilar Villar-Argáiz
Download or read book Irishness on the Margins written by Pilar Villar-Argáiz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection examines the presence of minority communities and dissident voices in Ireland both historically and in a contemporary framework. Accordingly, the contributions explore different facets of what we term “Irish minority and dissident identities,” ranging from political agitators drowned out by mainstream narratives of nationhood, to identities differentiated from the majority in terms of ethnicity, religion, class and health; and sexual minorities that challenge heteronormative perspectives on marriage, contraception, abortion, and divorce. At a moment when transnational democracy and the rights of minorities seem to be at risk, a book of this nature seems more pressing than ever. In different ways, the essays gathered here remind us of the importance of ‘rethinking’ nationhood, by a process of denaturalisation of the supremacy of white heterosexual structures.
Book Synopsis Goodbye Cinema, Hello Cinephilia by : Jonathan Rosenbaum
Download or read book Goodbye Cinema, Hello Cinephilia written by Jonathan Rosenbaum and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-10-15 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The esteemed film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum has brought global cinema to American audiences for the last four decades. His incisive writings on individual filmmakers define film culture as a diverse and ever-evolving practice, unpredictable yet subject to analyses just as diversified as his own discriminating tastes. For Rosenbaum, there is no high or low cinema, only more interesting or less interesting films, and the pieces collected here, from an appreciation of Marilyn Monroe’s intelligence to a classic discussion on and with Jean-Luc Godard, amply testify to his broad intellect and multi-faceted talent. Goodbye Cinema, Hello Cinephilia gathers together over fifty examples of Rosenbaum’s criticism from the past four decades, each of which demonstrates his passion for the way we view movies, as well as how we write about them. Charting our changing concerns with the interconnected issues that surround video, DVDs, the Internet, and new media, the writings collected here also highlight Rosenbaum’s polemics concerning the digital age. From the rediscovery and recirculation of classic films, to the social and aesthetic impact of technological changes, Rosenbaum doesn’t disappoint in assembling a magisterial cast of little-known filmmakers as well as the familiar faces and iconic names that have helped to define our era. As we move into this new decade of moviegoing—one in which Hollywood will continue to feel the shockwaves of the digital age—Jonathan Rosenbaum remains a valuable guide. Goodbye Cinema, Hello Cinephilia is a consummate collection of his work, not simply for fans of this seminal critic, but for all those open to the wide variety of films he embraces and helps us to elucidate.
