Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a stranger shoots his dad on a Costa Rican pier, Peter Counter hauls his blood-drenched father to safety. Returning home, Counter discovers that his sense of time and memory is shattered, and in its place is a budding new mental illness: post-traumatic stress disorder. Counter begins to see violence everywhere. From the music of Cat Stevens to Jeb Bush’s Twitter feed. Walter Benjamin to Johnny Carson. Taskmaster. Video games. ASMR videos on YouTube. The world is steeped in gore. Again and again, Counter finds himself reliving his father’s shooting as his trauma is fragmented, recast, and distorted on a compulsive mental Tilt-A-Whirl.

Channelling Phoebe Bridgers, George Orwell, and Jordan Peele, these essays look us dead in the eye and ask: What kind of life can we piece together amid all the carnage?

Download or read book A Light Affliction a History of Film Preservation and Restoration written by Michael Binder and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-08-13 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of film preservation and restoration, telling the story from the earliest days of the cinema to the modern days of digital restorations. The cinema was invented in the Victorian era, but for the first four decades of its existence almost no effort was made to preserve the millions of feet of celluloid which rolled through the cameras and projectors of the world. As a result, thousands of movies were lost forever. In the 1930s, the first concerted attempts at film preservation were begun by pioneering individuals such as Iris Barry at New York's Museum of Modern Art; Ernest Lindgren at the British Film Institute, and the indomitable Henri Langlois at the Cinémathèque française, a man who performed heroics in occupied France to save the world's cinematic heritage from destruction by the Nazis. The 1980s video boom encouraged the studios finally to instigate asset protection programmes and in the digital age new methods of producing, exhibiting and restoring motion pictures emerged.

This book was released on 2024-08-12 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Whatever Happened to the White Picket Fences: Restoring the American Dream by Rebuilding Community" demonstrates a clear and consistent thematic continuity throughout its narrative. The central theme revolves around the decline of the American middle class and the erosion of community values, with a strong emphasis on the need to rebuild and restore both. The author consistently weaves together personal anecdotes, historical references, and social commentary to support this central theme. They begin by reminiscing about their childhood in the 1960s, a time they perceive as characterized by stronger communities and a more prosperous middle class. This sets the stage for a discussion of the factors that have contributed to the decline of the middle class, such as Reaganomics, corporate greed, and the erosion of unions. The author then explores various strategies for rebuilding the middle class and restoring community values. These include supporting local businesses, promoting vocational education, revitalizing main streets, embracing sustainable practices, and fostering civic engagement. Throughout the document, the author emphasizes the importance of individual action and collective responsibility in achieving these goals. While the document touches upon various subtopics, such as the rise of corporate landlords, the gig economy, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, these are all connected to the central theme of rebuilding the middle class and restoring community. The author effectively links these seemingly disparate topics by highlighting their impact on the economic and social well-being of individuals and communities. The document's continuity is further enhanced by the author's consistent use of language and tone. The writing style is personal and conversational, drawing the reader in with anecdotes and relatable experiences. The author's passion for the subject matter is evident throughout, creating a sense of urgency and inspiring readers to take action. In conclusion, "Whatever Happened to the White Picket Fences: Restoring the Middle Class by Rebuilding Community" demonstrates strong thematic continuity, effectively weaving together personal experiences, historical context, and social commentary to present a compelling argument for the need to rebuild the middle class and restore community values.

Download or read book I Alone Am Left written by Jeremy D. Otten and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In examining Luke's multiple appeals to the figure of Elijah, this study not only provides clarity to a fascinating but often misunderstood element of the Lukan narrative, but also provides a helpful model for understanding an even more perplexing question in Lukan studies, namely, the presentation of the nation of Israel. No New Testament author takes more interest in Elijah than Luke, who may allude to the Elijah-Elisha narratives as many as forty times. This study pushes past questions of typology and one-to-one correlation that have stalled scholarly discussion on the topic, examining the theological significance of Elijah in Luke-Acts as a literary motif. It is argued that, in drawing on a common association between Elijah and the Old Testament concept of remnant, Luke appeals to Elijah at key moments in the narrative in order to signal the development of his remnant theology. For Luke, as in the days of the prophets, the concept of remnant holds in tension God's irrevocable promises to Israel with the widespread rejection of God's new work of salvation; the faithfulness of a few with a hope for the nation as a whole; and the particular election of Israel with the message of salvation for all nations.

Book excerpt: The thrilling conclusion of the Keeping Time trilogy! A diva, a crime lord, a resistance fighter, a bohemian — who will she be this time? Katrina, Maxwell, Elizabeth, William, and their comrades have one last chance to set time right... only this time they’re up against time-traveling storm troopers from the Third Reich. What happens when time loops in on itself, and the center of the Gordian knot is a secret, heavily guarded facility in Norway? It turns out that Napoleon wasn’t the only megalomaniac with dreams of world conquest our heroes need to stop! COMING November 22, 2018! (Science fiction Steampunk time-travel, historical romance and adventure) Extract: Exasperated, Maxwell picked up letter and bag together, and the loose drawstring mouth opened, dumping the contents literally into his lap. He had time to think, The last damned thing I want is my father’s watch— Then he got a good look at it. And nothing was ever the same again. One could not be indifferent when one held in one’s hands an object that could not possibly exist. Instead of one face, it had four, two crowded on one side and two on another. One of these looked like it might actually tell time, though it was not doing so at present. The second had both an inner and outer dial, with numbers running all around it. The third was even more complicated, comprised of eight dials nesting within each other. These had numbers as well, ones significant enough that they immediately jumped to his attention: 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 8, 1, 9. The second of November, 1819. The day his parents had vanished. And the fourth face simply could not exist. The fourth face displayed moving images. Tiny ones, but perfectly distinct, a scene aboard a sailing ship that lurched over waves even as he watched it. And then dissolved, to be replaced by knights in plate mail competing in a joust. The dry and logical voice he kept within had no chance to offer any opinions about coincidence, or to speculate with what Georgie might be lacing his brandy. The situation was too real, too immediate, to be considered sardonically at one remove. Maxwell’s heart beat fast and his palms sweated as he held the timepiece. With his other hand he fumbled to pick up the second object the red velvet bag had deposited into his lap. A locket. Of the sort a man rather than a woman would wear, and so the contents came as no particular surprise. This was William Carrington’s memorabilia, after all. Of course he had a locket containing a picture of Elizabeth Barton. Maxwell had only ever seen one portrait of her, the one painted on her sixteenth birthday, a year before she had run off to Gretna Green and her family had disowned her. It had hung in a disused bedchamber in the house of his Barton grandparents, but he had managed to carve out a little time to creep away and stare at it upon each childhood visit. She looked to be a few years older in this little locket miniature, or perhaps it was only the matron’s cap confining her curls that granted the illusion. The letter. The letter would explain all this. He had never in his life opened a letter so eagerly. My dear son, it began. We need your help. And for the second time in two days, Maxwell felt as though he had been punched in the gut.

Download or read book Restoring Ecological Health to Your Land written by Steven I. Apfelbaum and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-02-13 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restoring Ecological Health to Your Land is the first practical guidebook to give restorationists and would-be restorationists with little or no scientific training or background the “how to” information and knowledge they need to plan and implement ecological restoration activities. The book sets forth a step-by-step process for developing, implementing, monitoring, and refining on-the-ground restoration projects that is applicable to a wide range of landscapes and ecosystems. The first part of the book introduces the process of ecological restoration in simple, easily understood language through specific examples drawn from the authors’ experience restoring their own lands in southern and central Wisconsin. It offers systematic, step-by-step strategies along with inspiration and benchmark experiences. The book’s second half shows how that same “thinking” and “doing” can be applied to North America’s major ecosystems and landscapes in any condition or scale. No other ecological restoration book leads by example and first-hand experience likethis one. The authors encourage readers to champion restoration of ecosystems close to where they live . . . at home, on farms and ranches, in parks and preserves. It provides an essential bridge for people from all walks of life and all levels of experience—from land trust member property stewards to agency personnel responsible for restoring lands in their care—and represents a unique and important contribution to the literature on restoration.

Download or read book Architectural Restoration and Heritage in Imperial Rome written by Christopher Siwicki and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses the treatment and perception of historic buildings in Imperial Rome, examining the ways in which public monuments were restored in order to develop an understanding of the Roman concept of built heritage. It considers examples from the first century BC to the second century AD, focusing primarily on the six decades between the Great Fire of AD 64 and the AD 120s, which constituted a period of dramatic urban transformation and architectural innovation in Rome. Through a detailed analysis of the ways in which the design, materiality, and appearance of buildings - including the temple of Jupiter Capitolinus and hut of Romulus - developed with successive restorations, the case is made for the existence of a consistent approach to the treatment of historic buildings in this period. This study also explores how changes to particular monuments and to the urban fabric as a whole were received by the people who experienced them first-hand, uncovering attitudes to built heritage in Roman society more widely. By examining descriptions of destruction and restoration in literature of the first and second centuries AD, including the works of Seneca the Younger, Pliny the Elder, Martial, Tacitus, and Plutarch, it forms a picture of the conflicting ways in which Rome's inhabitants responded to the redevelopment of their city. The results provide an alternative way of explaining key interventions in Rome's built environment and challenge the idea that heritage is a purely modern phenomenon.

Download or read book A Timeline of The Journey of Humankind written by George A. Brooks and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-07-23 with total page 1068 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of humankind begins 13.8 billion years ago when the universe came into being instantly everywhere at the same time. There was only darkness until the stars began to light up. This begins the long journey of humankind, through the formation in supernovae of the elements that will form our bodies to the formation of the sun, the earth, and the moon until our home brings forth life. Our planet has survived numerous events that threatened to extinguish that life, but ultimately our most remote ancestors began to walk the plains, mountains, and valleys of Africa. In remote prehistory, groups of people migrated out of Africa eventually to populate the whole world. The author provides a timeline for the major events that eventually shaped the modern world. In the earliest settlements, humans domesticated plants and animals. Over time, they formed city-states. Civilizations rose and fell, passing along little snippets of knowledge to those who followed. The journey acquaints the reader with these great civilizations and the people who gave us the arts and sciences and the rules of law for living together. The civilizations of Athens and Rome became the foundation of western civilization. In the last two thousand years, world history is dominated by the spread of Christianity. Therefore, the journey takes us through those events in Judea to the kings, queens, popes, and emperors of Europe while events are also unfolding in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas. The modern world has been largely shaped by the colonial period beginning about 1500 AD. Much attention is given to events since then which are proximate to the world we experience today. World Wars I and II then shaped most of the modern nation states in which we live. The author allows the reader to stand apart and be an observer of the journey of humankind. We have taken many different paths to arrive in the modern world with wonderfully diverse appearances, languages, and traditions, but we are all one family. The author hopes we will embrace our differences and act together as the family we are while shaping the future.
