Book excerpt: The young have stolen and now rule the world. They live in cities organised into the School System led by Monitors and Prefects under an enigmatic Head Boy and legendary, if absent, Head Girl. There are no more families, only Houses such as Retro, Bandit, Messianic and the great Parenting House where babies are grown and children reared. The dirty work of the world is done by geeks, genetically engineered kids. The cities are dedicated solely to enjoyment and indulgence whilst around them lie the ruins of the ancient world. Beyond these are The Wilds where the bulk of humanity survive in prehistoric clans, maddened by an infection that has crept into the human genome at Parenting House. Finally, there are the compounds where the aged who have regained their sanity live out their lives in squalour and anger. Four young people are sent on a brief fact-finding assignment to a compound. When it ends in murder, Monitors, Prefects, Heads of Houses and even Head Boy himself are prompted to action. Two of the four, Sharlot and Nathan, are guilty, ruthless and brutal, the other two, Joshwa and Mree, innocent, compassionate and vulnerable. They become hunter and hunted in a conflict which undermines their society. For Sharlot and Nathan, the murders are the start of a brilliantly organised plan, for Joshwa and Mree, they reveal the corruption at the heart of their world where greed and selfishness have destroyed all that is best in human nature.

Book excerpt: "If Walt Disney's life and work evoke feelings of chaste princesses in gleaming white castles, then Ralph Bakshi's should conjure up ladies of ill repute camped out in dim back alleys." "On par with the legendary animation auteurs of our time, Bakshi's name is synonymous with the grand tradition of American cartooning." "Responsible for such memorable films and television shows as Fritz the Cat, the first X-rated animated feature film, Heavy Traffic, Coonskin, Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, Wizards, and The Lord of the Rings, Bakshi's influence on American popular culture, as well as on artists and writers who came after him, is undeniable and extensive." "Unfiltered: The Complete Ralph Bakshi is the first and only book chronicling the career of this animation pioneer, highlighting his early years, as well as each of his groundbreaking films, TV shows, and other projects. It contains brand-new Bakshi art created especially for this book, as well as hundreds of pieces of pre-production art, animation eels, and never-before-seen rough sketches, line drawings, and doodles, all culled from Bakshi's personal archives containing more than fifty years of his life's work."--Rabat de la jaquette.

Download or read book Animating Space written by J.P. Telotte and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2010-08-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animators work within a strictly defined, limited space that requires difficult artistic decisions. The blank frame presents a dilemma for all animators, and the decision of what to include and leave out raises important questions about artistry, authorship, and cultural influence. In Animating Space: From Mickey to WALL-E, renowned scholar J. P. Telotte explores how animation has confronted the blank template, and how responses to that confrontation have changed. Focusing on American animation, Telotte tracks the development of animation in line with changing cultural attitudes toward space and examines innovations that elevated the medium from a novelty to a fully realized art form. From Winsor McCay and the Fleischer brothers to the Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros., and Pixar Studios, Animating Space explores the contributions of those who invented animation, those who refined it, and those who, in the current digital age, are using it to redefine the very possibilities of cinema.

Download or read book Soul Searching written by Christopher Sieving and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sixties were a tremendously important time of transition for both civil rights activism and the U.S. film industry. Soul Searching examines a subject that, despite its significance to African American film history, has gone largely unexplored until now. By revisiting films produced between the march on Washington in 1963 and the dawn of the “blaxploitation” movie cycle in 1970, Christopher Sieving reveals how race relations influenced black-themed cinema before it was recognized as commercially viable by the major studios. The films that are central to this book—Gone Are the Days (1963), The Cool World (1964), The Confessions of Nat Turner (never produced), Uptight (1968), and The Landlord (1970)—are all ripe for reevaluation and newfound appreciation. Soul Searching is essential reading for anyone interested in the politics and cultural movements of the 1960s, cinematic trends like blaxploitation and the American “indie film” explosion, or black experience and its many facets.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A “thrilling” (The New York Times), “dazzling” (The Wall Street Journal) tour of the radically different ways that animals perceive the world that will fill you with wonder and forever alter your perspective, by Pulitzer Prize–winning science journalist Ed Yong “One of this year’s finest works of narrative nonfiction.”—Oprah Daily ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Time, People, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Slate, Reader’s Digest, Chicago Public Library, Outside, Publishers Weekly, BookPage ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Oprah Daily, The New Yorker, The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Economist, Smithsonian Magazine, Prospect (UK), Globe & Mail, Esquire, Mental Floss, Marginalian, She Reads, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal The Earth teems with sights and textures, sounds and vibrations, smells and tastes, electric and magnetic fields. But every kind of animal, including humans, is enclosed within its own unique sensory bubble, perceiving but a tiny sliver of our immense world. In An Immense World, Ed Yong coaxes us beyond the confines of our own senses, allowing us to perceive the skeins of scent, waves of electromagnetism, and pulses of pressure that surround us. We encounter beetles that are drawn to fires, turtles that can track the Earth’s magnetic fields, fish that fill rivers with electrical messages, and even humans who wield sonar like bats. We discover that a crocodile’s scaly face is as sensitive as a lover’s fingertips, that the eyes of a giant squid evolved to see sparkling whales, that plants thrum with the inaudible songs of courting bugs, and that even simple scallops have complex vision. We learn what bees see in flowers, what songbirds hear in their tunes, and what dogs smell on the street. We listen to stories of pivotal discoveries in the field, while looking ahead at the many mysteries that remain unsolved. Funny, rigorous, and suffused with the joy of discovery, An Immense World takes us on what Marcel Proust called “the only true voyage . . . not to visit strange lands, but to possess other eyes.” WINNER OF THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL • FINALIST FOR THE KIRKUS PRIZE • FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD • LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/E.O.

Download or read book Teaching the Bible written by Mark Roncace and published by Society of Biblical Lit. This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While books on pedagogy in a theoretical mode have proliferated in recent years, there have been few that offer practical, specific ideas for teaching particular biblical texts. To address this need, Teaching the Bible, a collection of ideas and activities written by dozens of innovative college and seminary professors, outlines effective classroom strategies—with a focus on active learning—for the new teacher and veteran professor alike. It includes everything from ways to incorporate film, literature, art, and music to classroom writing assignments and exercises for groups and individuals. The book assumes an academic approach to the Bible but represents a wide range of methodological, theological, and ideological perspectives. This volume is an indispensable resource for anyone who teaches classes on the Bible.
