Book excerpt: When a military tyrant named Waxman receives covert communications from an agent believed lost in deep space, he prepares his army of giant soldiers for war with a faceless, deadly enemy known as the Shrie Shrie and an elusive driver named Cal. Believing he has the upper hand, Waxman dispatches his own army of giant soldiers to lay down a path for annihilation. But his trust begins to waver when two of his strongest soldiers in Kayanai Blu and Iran Crowne begin to show signs of possible desertion or worse, treason. As Kayanai wrestles with his own conscience, Waxman must entrust Jevan Khran, another waxen soldier whose prodigal return has made her his confidant to keep both Kayanai and Iran to the task at hand. Yet with her own unique ability to fly the enemy ships that can travel the distance of space with the speed of a mere thought, she too finds herself cast under the quantum guise of being untrustworthy. For like herself in this ability to fly alien technology endures Cal, the one responsible for the ceasefire to the lost war Waxman so desperately wants restored. And now Waxman will finish it.
Download or read book Sixteen Shades of Smart How Cities Can Shape Their Own Future written by Christos Cabolis and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smart cities are a fast-growing species, and a fascinating field for new experiments in a number of critical areas, ranging from urban planning, sustainable energy, and transport strategies to social integration and talent attraction, to name a few. As leaders and citizens around the world continue to assess, design, implement and improve on ways to create better cities, they often find themselves confronted with a multitude of decisions and a wide range of partial solutions to specific problems such as traffic congestion, waste management and crime. Unfortunately, they have precious few tools to enable them to define the strategies required and take advantage of the experience of other smart cities around the world. In such a context, metrics can play a significant and constructive role: by quantifying efforts and results, they increase the ability of decision-makers to identify where their priorities should lie as well as the relative merits of various approaches.

Download or read book Herland The Yellow Wall paper and Selected Writings written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1999 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) penned this sardonic remark in her autobiography, encapsulating a lifetime of frustration with the gender-based double standard that prevailed in turn-of-the-century America. With her slyly humorous novel, Herland (1915), she created a fictional utopia where not only is face powder obsolete, but an all-female population has created a peaceful, progressive, environmentally-conscious country from which men have been absent for two thousand years. Gilman was enormously prolific, publishing five hundred poems, two hundred short stories, hundreds of essays, eight novels, and seven years' worth of her monthly magazine, The Forerunner. She emerged as one of the key figures in the women's movement of her day, advocating equality of the sexes, the right of women to work, and socialized child care, among other issues. Today Gilman is perhaps best known for the chilling depiction of a woman's mental breakdown in her unforgettable short story, "The Yellow Wall-Paper". This Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics edition includes both this landmark work and Herland, together with a selection of Gilman's major short stories and her poems.
Download or read book Herland and Selected Stories written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the twentieth century, Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a celebrity—acclaimed as a leader in the feminist movement and castigated for her divorce, her relinquishment of custody of her daughter, and her unconventional second marriage. She was also widely read, with stories in popular magazines and with dozens of books in print. Her most famous short story, the intensely personal “The Yellow Wallpaper,” was read as a horror story when first published in 1892 and then lapsed into obscurity before being rediscovered and reinterpreted by feminist scholars in the 1970s. Noted anthologist Barbara Solomon has put together a remarkable collection of Gilman’s fiction, which includes twenty short stories and the complete text of Herland, the landmark utopian novel that remained unavailable for more than sixty years. From “The Unexpected,” printed in Kate Field’s Washington in 1890, to such later tales as “Mrs. Elder’s Idea,” published in Gilman’s own periodical, The Forerunner, readers can again encounter this witty, original, and audacious woman who dared to challenge the status quo and who created fiction that continues to be fresh and timeless. Edited and with an Introduction by Barbara H. Solomon
Download or read book Charleston and Savannah written by Thomas D. Wilson and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2023-02-01 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas D. Wilson’s Charleston and Savannah is the first comprehensive history of Charleston and Savannah in a single volume that weaves together the influences and parallels of their intrinsic stories. As two of the earliest English-speaking cities founded in America, Charleston and Savannah are among the nation’s top historic sites. Their historic characters, which attract millions of visitors each year, are each a rich blend of cultural, environmental, and socioeconomic elements. Yet even with this popularity, both cities now face a challenge in preserving their authentic historic character, natural beauty, and environmental quality. Wilson charts the ebb and flow of the progress and development of the cities using various through lines running within each chapter, constructing an overall character assessment of each. Wilson charts the economic rise of these port cities, beginning with their British foundations and transatlantic trade in the colonies through to their twentieth-century economic declines and resurgences. He examines the cultural and economic aspects of their Lowcountry landscapes and their evolution as progress and industrialization made their mark. Employing both quantitative and qualitative methodologies in his comparisons of the two cities, he considers their histories, natural landscapes, weather patterns, economies, demographics, culture, architecture, city planning, and infrastructure. While each has its own civic and cultural strengths and weaknesses, both are positioned as historically significant southern cities, even as they assess aspects of their problematic pasts.
