Download or read book Comics and Power written by Rikke Platz Cortsen and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-05 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many introductions to comics scholarship books begin with an anecdote recounting the author’s childhood experiences reading comics, thereby testifying to the power of comics to engage and impact youth, but comics and power are intertwined in a numbers of ways that go beyond concern for children’s reading habits. Comics and Power presents very different methods of studying the complex and diverse relationship between comics and power. Divided into three sections, its 14 chapters discuss how comics interact with, reproduce, and/or challenge existing power structures – from the comics medium and its institutions to discourses about art, subjectivity, identity, and communities. The contributors and their work, as such, represent a new generation of comics research that combines the study of comics as a unique art form with a focus on the ways in which comics – like any other medium – participate in shaping the societies of which they are part.

Download or read book Andromeda written by Andrew Hoesman and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far away in the distant galaxy of Andromeda, there is a confrontation that has lasted for over two hundred years. Two races in total conflict over a planet the size of Jupiter. A world encompassing unlimited resources that could sustain any race for life. Protagonists have lived on this world since the beginning of time, understanding its contents and its uses as this planet is on one side of their galaxy. The other side of this galaxy, the antagonist's planet, is the size of Mars, almost barren like the Sahara Desert. Antagonists want to claim this new world for themselves by getting rid of these humanoids, taking over their planet. Since their world's condition is deteriorating, they spread their dark wings in their own system, claiming the other four worlds, and taking their culture and their precious treasures like water, which life needs to thrive. To strike a blow on these humanoids, antagonists ignite a vile plot by sending three King Cruisers on a special mission, staking entitlement on this world and its entire system.

Download or read book Tarzan Lord of the Jungle written by Edgar Rice Burroughs and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2024-10-21T19:19:15Z with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord Tarzan makes it his job to know who comes and goes in his jungle; James Blake and Wilbur Stimbol’s safari and Ibn Jad’s troupe are no exception. Blake and Stimbol, on safari for photographs, are on the verge of parting ways after vehement disagreement, while Ibn Jad’s people are searching for the fabled city of Nimmir, yearning for its riches. Allowing passage to some and not to others, Tarzan gains new enemies and new friends as the different parties seek their treasures among the wilds of his jungle—a beautiful jungle, but one fraught with danger from men, beasts, and the elements. Tensions, greed, and passions run high as those welcome and unwelcome trod upon Tarzan’s land, desperate to survive and find the treasures they seek. Is there such a city filled with gold, jewels, and the most beautiful woman on earth, or have these explorers just walked into a death trap with the lord of the jungle as the mastermind? This book marks a significant transition from previous novels in the series. Whereas earlier books interwove personal affairs and continuity, from this book on, Tarzan is presented as an adventurer with no significant ties. Although previous characters still put in minor appearances, the books shift from Tarzan’s active role in his family to him supporting a secondary cast of characters, and from his own personal affairs to contending with new tribes and civilizations. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

Download or read book The Plains of Abraham written by James Oliver Curwood and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by James Oliver Curwood was originally published in 1928 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. In "The Plains of Abraham," Daniel "James" Bulain, son of a French habitant and of an English schoolmaster's daughter, sees his world turned upside-down as his family and the people of the neighbouring seigneurie are massacred by a war party of Mohawks. James Oliver 'Jim' Curwood was an American action-adventure writer and conservationist. He was born on 12th June, 1878, in Owosso, Michigan, USA. In 1900, Curwood sold his first story while working for the Detroit News-Tribune, and after this, his career in writing was made. By 1909 he had saved enough money to travel to the Canadian northwest, a trip that provided the inspiration for his wilderness adventure stories. The success of his novels afforded him the opportunity to return to the Yukon and Alaska for several months each year - allowing Curwood to write more than thirty such books. Curwood's adventure writing followed in the tradition of Jack London. Like London, Curwood set many of his works in the wilds of the Great Northwest and often used animals as lead characters (Kazan, Baree; Son of Kazan, The Grizzly King and Nomads of the North). Many of Curwood's adventure novels also feature romance as primary or secondary plot consideration. This approach gave his work broad commercial appeal and helped drive his appearance on several best-seller lists in the early 1920s. His most successful work was his 1920 novel, The River's End. The book sold more than 100,000 copies and was the fourth best-selling title of the year in the United States, according to Publisher's Weekly. He contributed to various literary and popular magazines throughout his career, and his bibliography includes more than 200 such articles, short stories and serializations. Curwood was an avid hunter in his youth; however, as he grew older, he became an advocate of environmentalism and was appointed to the 'Michigan Conservation Commission' in 1926. The change in his attitude toward wildlife can be best expressed by a quote he gave in The Grizzly King: that 'The greatest thrill is not to kill but to let live.' Despite this change in attitude, Curwood did not have an ultimately fruitful relationship with nature. In 1927, while on a fishing trip in Florida, Curwood was bitten on the thigh by what was believed to have been a spider and he had an immediate allergic reaction. Health problems related to the bite escalated over the next few months as an infection set in. He died soon after in his nearby home on Williams Street, on 13th August 1927. He was aged just forty-nine, and was interred in Oak Hill Cemetery (Owosso), in a family plot. Curwood's legacy lives on however, and his home of Curwood Castle is now a museum.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ray Harryhausens animated creatures sparkled with predatory alertness and subtle quirks of behavior that stamped each with a distinct and memorable personality. His use of stop-motion animation a method of animating movable models and puppets brought dinosaurs and monsters to life on the silver screen. Many animators and special effects wizards, like Phil Tippett of Jurassic Park and Jim Aupperle of Planet of Dinosaurs who are still working on prehistoric-based films, openly credit Ray Harryhausen as having influenced their careers. His films are famous for being among the very best of the genre. The first chapter of this book chronicles Harryhausens for mative years and work on numerous 16mm experiments, beginning with his viewing of King Kong in 1933. The next four chapters cover his four feature-length dinosaur films, The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, The Animal World, One Million Years B.C. and The Valley of Gwangi. These chapters provide extensive information about all aspects of the staging of their stop-motion content and many additional facets of the overall production process. The paleontological accuracy of his saurians from a modern perspective is also examined. A chapter on his work and experiences in the 1970s and beyond discusses potential dinosaur projects, as well as The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, which is not a saurian film, but does include the bat-winged homunculus. An appendix covers a number ofdinosaur-related films that Harryhausen had a hand in.
