Book excerpt: A wild race to the wild blue under… Rod Tritone, heir to the undersea Mer kingdom, has the looks and charm to have any mermaid he wants as his queen. He’s always given up his own preferences in order to train for his future role. But apparently that isn’t enough for the ruling Council. Prophecy decrees he marry a Mer Princess. The only problem is that the prophesied lost princess lives in the geographical—and utterly landlocked—center of the United States. Valerie Dumere has tried her hand at pretty much everything. She wasn’t cut out to be a construction worker, any more than the zillion other jobs she’s tried. Who is she supposed to be and what is she supposed to do with her life? Even running the oceans treasures gift shop she inherited is ironic, given that, thanks to a horrific childhood incident, Valerie is convinced she’s deathly allergic to seawater. Then Rod Tritone shows up, insisting she has another side to herself that only he can show her. He’s sexy, but is he also insane? If Rod fails in his quest, the kingdom he’s worked so hard for will go to another. Accompanied by a seagull named Livingston, and chased by dive-bombing birds, Rod convinces Valerie to set off with him on a madcap, cross-country race to the sea. Can they make it in time to fulfill the prophecy? And how can Rod convince his ocean-phobic mermaid princess there’s nothing to be afraid of—and love to be found— in the wild blue under?

Book excerpt: In the aftermath of World War II, Fritzi and Joe Stoddard marry and fly off into the wild blue yonder, where he becomes a test pilot and Fritzi the quintessential Air Force Wife. Along the way, Fritzi gives birth to four children--two girls and two boys--while Joe moves up in rank and pays his dues as a pilot and officer. For a few short years, the Stoddards are a shiny, adventurous American Air Force family, living wherever Joe's career takes them and blooming wherever they are planted. When they are transferred to a base in Italy, the Stoddards revel in the opportunity to explore Europe together. During the fireworks of an Italian festival, tragedy strikes, plunging the family into a free-fall of denial and grief. How will they navigate a future none of them ever imagined? "McCarthy populates this often moving story with a cast of fully drawn, authentic characters, shifting the narrative perspective seamlessly to see the world through each of their eyes. Fritzi, in particular, is a captivatingly complex figure who's defiantly independent but also endearingly vulnerable...this novel offers an insightful look into the rigors of military life and some moments of powerful emotion." -- Kirkus Review "Beneath the Wild Blue provides us with a stunning portrait of a family of six under the constant stress that is such a key element of military life. Temporary assignments (TDY) can suddenly drop out of nowhere, requiring the family's service member to abandon his or her family without any notice, often for weeks at a time. The family is under so much stress that older children are routinely drafted as surrogate parents. The spouse of the service member is expected to accomplish the impossible, and if that doesn't happen, the resulting snafu is recorded on the member's 'efficiency report, ' the key document that leads to promotions, plum assignments and higher pay." - James Kenney

Download or read book The Beach Beneath the Street written by McKenzie Wark and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2015-04-03 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over fifty years after the Situationist International appeared, its legacy continues to inspire activists, artists and theorists around the world. Such a legend has accrued to this movement that the story of the SI now demands to be told in a contemporary voice capable of putting it into the context of twenty-first-century struggles. McKenzie Wark delves into the Situationists' unacknowledged diversity, revealing a world as rich in practice as it is in theory. Tracing the group's development from the bohemian Paris of the '50s to the explosive days of May '68, Wark's take on the Situationists is biographically and historically rich, presenting the group as an ensemble creation, rather than the brainchild and dominion of its most famous member, Guy Debord. Roaming through Europe and the lives of those who made up the movement-including Constant, Asger Jorn, Michle Bernstein, Alex Trocchi and Jacqueline De Jong-Wark uncovers an international movement riven with conflicting passions. Accessible to those who have only just discovered the Situationists and filled with new insights, The Beach Beneath the Street rereads the group's history in the light of our contemporary experience of communications, architecture, and everyday life. The Situationists tried to escape the world of twentieth-century spectacle and failed in the attempt. Wark argues that they may still help us to escape the twenty-first century, while we still can.

Book excerpt: Hold on to your tinfoil hats and extend your antenna's saucer fans as the author states in his testimonial Ominous: The Nexus and Reality of Flying Saucers, "There is a distance as vast as the universe between belief and knowing." Ominous details the continuous connection between Wayne Sturgill and that of his family's history, beginning with his mother's verified sighting of five Flying Saucers over Portland, Oregon, on July 4, 1947. The story progresses as Wayne is haunted throughout his life by his Silent Nemesis--an encounter with a UFO, which begins at age six in 1963. Eventually, he learns of his father's encounters with such ships as a top secret intercept pilot during the 1950s as photographs and other data surface through a mysterious informant. Toss in the mix his own face-to-face encounters (and photos he risked his life to take) of a Flying Saucer that attacked him, a CIA agent, and the possibility of a doppelganger. The enigma intensifies and refuses to relinquish to this day. Branded throughout with UFO history and photos, spiced up and peppered with Sturgill's unique sense of intelligence and humor, whether you know beyond doubt that extraterrestrials and their craft exist, as the author knows, prepare yourself to address the subject seriously and with an open mind, and you will discover Ominous is a book impossible to ignore as you journey along a pathway toward a certain reality that in the near future may erupt worldwide.
