Book excerpt: I'm about to lose my wife and I don't want to lose my son, too. That depressing thought kept racing through my mind all day long, as my five year old boy, Frankie, and I were enjoying our first day ever at an amusement park in 1994. My marriage was shot and beyond repair; and I now faced many a parent's dread: what effect would the divorce have on my son, and how will I maintain any semblance of a normal rapport with him? The answer, miraculously was only hours away. Right before exiting the immense park for the evening, my rambunctious boy somehow lured me onto the thrill arena's big roller coaster for a ride. That solitary coaster journey hooked us up for life to the joys of gallivanting upon these flying machines, and for the next fifteen summers that's basically all we did. We ultimately shared over 300 days together in amusement parks, as we traveled 40,000 miles by car, plane, and sleeper-car train to every thrill park in the country that housed anything close to resembling a roller coaster. The divorce came soon enough, and inflicted its normal dose of hardship and despair. But it proved to be no match for the wonderful memories that accompanied all of our trips, and the steadfast bond that grew between us, merely in pursuit of our beloved joyrides. Flying With Frankie is our story. FLYINGWITHFRANKIE.COM

Download or read book Place Matters written by Jonathan Bordo and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A place comes into existence through the depth of relationships that underwrite a physical location with layers of sedimented names. In Place Matters scholars and artists conduct varied forms of place-based inquiry to demonstrate why place matters. Lavishly illustrated, the volume brings into conversation photographic projects and essays that revitalize the study of landscape. Contributors engage the study of place through an approach that Jonathan Bordo and Blake Fitzpatrick call critical topography: the way that we understand critical thought to range over a place, or how thought and symbolic forms invent place through text and image as if initiated by an X marking the spot. Critical topography’s tasks are to mediate and to diminish the gap between representation and referent, to be both in the world and about the world; to ask what place is this, what are its names, where am I, how and with what responsibilities may I be here? Chapters map the deep cultural, environmental, and political histories of singular places, interrogating the charged relation between history, place, and power and identifying the territorial imperatives of place making in such sites as Colonus, Mont Sainte-Victoire, Chomolungma/Everest, Hiroshima, Fort Qu’Appelle, Donetsk airport, and the island of Lesbos. With contributions from the renowned artists Hamish Fulton and Edward Burtynsky, the Swedish poet Jesper Svenbro, and others, the collection examines profound shifts in place-based thinking as it relates to the history of art, the anthropocene and nuclear ruin, borders and global migration, residential schools, the pandemic, and sites of refuge. In his prologue W.J.T. Mitchell writes: “Places, like feasts, are moveable. They can be erased and forgotten, lost in space, or maintained and rebuilt. Both their appearance and disappearance, their making and unmaking, are the work of critical topography.” Global in scope, Canadian in spirit, and grounded in singular sites, Place Matters presents critical topography as an approach to analyze, interpret, and reflect on place.

Book excerpt: Special Agent Barrett "Bear" Raines of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement has his Little League game interrupted when a returning GI uses Bear and the local sheriff to commit suicide-by-cop. Barrett agonizes over the young man's death. He knows that the young marine came home with a squad of other veterans who live outside the law near a place called Devil's Slew. Those GIs come under suspicion when federal authorities trace counterfeited currency to Bear's backyard. The feds believe that the counterfeiters are responsible for the kidnapping of a female agent off the streets of New Orleans. The threads connecting these local crimes stretch from northern Florida to Afghanistan and Mexico, and so, once again, Barrett Raines and the FDLE are called in to dodge the bullets and connect the dots.

Book excerpt: It was a dream...a dream of darkness...a dream of light. 'Tis a tale beyond any mere human histories. Yet, too, it whispers deep through the heart of all humanity. Before the beginning of Creation there were two Spirit Tribes: the Zaan and the Aeyas. Like gods, they were the keepers of life and all Creation.Yet, in time, they began to think apart and quarrel over the meaning of existence. But, when it grew old, their quarrel broke into a series of terrible wars which theatened to tear apart all Creation. Now, it came to pass from the ravages of these Primaeval Wars that one spirit, the Aeyan Father Audon Niyth, dreamt an awful dream. Perceiving only sorrow and suffering, he thought to save Creation from all its pain. His thought, grown dark with much time, was to extinguish all things and lull them to a final rest and peace. Niyth's first attempt to "save" Creation was a million-year war of universal genocide. It failed. So, Niyth turned away to an ancient legend: A mystical entity known as the nylladiom. Anyone who possessed this could destroy not only all things but even existence itself. However, Audon Niyth was kept from obtaining the nylladiom, and he was cast away into the very heart of Creation. From there --the hell his evil works had fashioned for him-- Niyth would dream to bring the nylladiom to the emptiness of his blackened spirit. So ends the dark prelude to Eon Dream. But, where it is a nightmare born of profound sorrow, it becomes as well a hope of ultimate redemption. For, against the black designs of Audon Niyth, Creation brings forth a child whose heart's innocence will overcome all evil. On one level, Eon Dream is the story of one small life --that of the Zaan man-child Au Syen. On a deeper level, it becomes an allegory for the human condition. The stages of Au Syen's individual life symbolize those formative experiences common to all lives. These experiences are embodied as the Seven Sojourns (of Au Syen). The first four of these sojourns comprise life lived out day by day in the world. Au Syen enters the world a helpless infant, the son of the incarnate spirit Ne Ri. He grows from being a little boy deeply and innocently in love with the miracle and wonder of the world around him to an adolescent struggling to find who he is. As a man, he falls in love with a lovely girl with whom he makes a family and a home. Yet, sadly too, he loses to death his beloved mother Ne Ri. With the death of Ne Ri, the Seven Sojourns turn to a new dimension: One more cosmic and supernatural. Beyond eveything safe and familiar, Au Syen embarks upon a perilous journey. Along the way, Au Syen the man learns to reshape himself to become Au Syen "The Light Shining Beyond The Darkness" whose destiny is to face evil and transform all reality. Au Syen's journey is many dangers and hardships. It is a wandering through a dark forest, a climb over a bleak mountain and a trek across a burning desert. Cold, heat, hunger, thirst and loneliness all do their worst to break Au Syen's mind, body and spirit. But from his trials, Au Syen emerges with a renewed vision of who he is: A man deep of heart and soul, whose strength of spirit is the love that will forever triumph over all evil. Thus aware of himself as never before, Au Syen enters the company of a weird and wondrous creature: Xinj, a sly and ancient being known as the Keeper of the Wisdom of the World. When this Xinj invites Au Syen to know better his wisdom, he grabs and swallows Au Syen alive! Yet, beyond this descent into the bowels of death, Au Syen is reborn from the world of flesh and blood into the spirit realm wherein abides the Dark Spirit Audon Niyth. All around
