Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE The first full account of how the Cold War arms race finally came to a close, this riveting narrative history sheds new light on the people who struggled to end this era of massive overkill, and examines the legacy of the nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons that remain a threat today. Drawing on memoirs, interviews in both Russia and the US, and classified documents from deep inside the Kremlin, David E. Hoffman examines the inner motives and secret decisions of each side and details the deadly stockpiles that remained unsecured as the Soviet Union collapsed.

Download or read book Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead written by Rick Meyerowitz and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reprints and reminiscences from the magazine’s first decade: “Fun to flip through . . . Where would American humor be without the National Lampoon?”—The New Yorker From its first issue in April 1970, the National Lampoon blazed like a comet, defining comedy as we know it today. To create Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead, former Lampoon illustrator Rick Meyerowitz selected the funniest material from the magazine and sought out the survivors of its first electrifying decade to gather their most revealing and outrageous stories. The result is a mind-boggling tour through the early days of an institution whose alumni left their fingerprints all over popular culture: Animal House, Caddyshack, Saturday Night Live, Ghostbusters, SCTV, Spinal Tap, In Living Color, Ren & Stimpy, The Simpsons—even Sesame Street counts a few Lampooners among its ranks. This is the story of a band of young talents who “irrevocably rewrote the landscape of American humor” (Publishers Weekly). “A vivid picture of a tight-knit family of twentysomething humorists at the dawn of their careers.” —Newsweek "The other night I started laughing so hard I had to leave the room . . . And then I realized that I hadn’t laughed so hard in 35 years, since I was a teenager, reading National Lampoon.” —The Wall Street Journal “If you grew up with the Lampoon, this book is a trip down memory lane like no other; if not, it will demonstrate that the much maligned 70s could produce humor that has never been surpassed.” —Vanity Fair

Book excerpt: Book Two: Imagine Living Life Well with Perspective & Perseverance Volume III New Spiritual Adventures & We Learn Anew Volume IV Experiences Across the Pond on Familiar Terra-Firma At one point while having discussions, Liam says in an eloquent manner, "It's as if you've taken the veil off science, opened the veil into metaphysics and thrown them together, shook them up and out the other side emerges amazing truths, the proof of which will, I believe, shake the two, science and metaphysics to its core, once it is known." While at lunch, the doctor's wife, Lilly, a Microbiologist, tells Anna and Liam about her identical twin and home country of Wales. They cannot figure why Lilly speaks with missing words and often slowly. As events occur, they have many Life Changes, realizing their Life Challenges and began to really learn how to Live Life Well.

Anna and Liam help Dave, their doctor, deal with life matters. There is a great discussion of how to know who people in this life are from knowing of Past Lives. Liam 'works out' in his armour.

Download or read book Poetry Is Useless written by Anders Nilsen and published by Drawn & Quarterly. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New and formally inventive work from a New York Times notable author In Poetry is Useless, Anders Nilsen redefines the sketchbook format, intermingling elegant, densely detailed renderings of mythical animals, short comics drawn in ink, meditations on religion, and abstract shapes and patterns. Page after page gives way under Nilsen’s deft hatching and perfectly placed pen strokes, revealing his intellectual curiosity and wry outlook on life’s many surprises. Stick people debate the dubious merits of economics. Immaculately stippled circles become looser and looser, as craters appear on their surface. A series of portraits capture the backs of friends’ heads. For ten or twenty pages at a time, Poetry is Useless becomes a travel diary, in which Nilsen shares anecdotes about his voyages in Europe and North America. A trip to Colombia for a comics festival is recounted in carefully drawn city streets and sketches made in cafés. Poetry is Useless reveals seven years of Nilsen’s life and musings: beginning in 2007, it covers a substantial period of his comics career to date, and includes visual reference to his works, such as Dogs & Water, Rage of Poseidon, and the New York Times Notable Book Big Questions. This expansive sketchbook-as-graphic-novel is exquisitely packaged with appendices and a foreword from Anders Nilsen himself.

Download or read book A Philosophy of Gun Violence written by Alan J. Reid and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-20 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses a philosophy of technology to demonstrate that guns are predisposed for an intentional use, making them inherently non-neutral artifacts. This argument rejects the often-cited value neutral thesis and instrumentalist view that “guns don’t kill people; people kill people”, and instead, explains the lethality of the gun through the lenses of affordance theory, behavioral design, and choice architecture. Ultimately, this book proposes an ethical and value-sensitive model for gun reform, which embodies the perspective of French philosopher Bruno Latour, who said, “You are different with a gun in your hand; the gun is different with you holding it.”

Book excerpt: This thoroughly enjoyable and infinitely amusing book is about love, friendship, perseverance, and two people who had no business opening a business…but did exactly that. Sunkisst Tans existed for six years. The business started at the height of a recession, survived the 100-year flood of 2010, battled the World Health Organization and their minions, fought oppressive taxation, and nearly killed the married couple who owned the place a number of times in a number of ways. Yet somehow, they kept it all together. The only thing worse than keeping a small business afloat is never knowing if you have what it takes to pull it off. There is only one way to find out: close your eyes, take a deep breath, count to three, and then jump right in!
