Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
Transported to a stunning mountainous landscape, a young man is welcomed into an enormous gathering of the local denizens who tell him how fortuitous his arrival actually is. He discovers that it is the annual Great Gathering of the Thunderbunny clan, who trace their heritage to a time before the Great Flood. As explained to the young man by the matriarch of the Thunderbunnys herself, Magnolia Thunderbunny, the Great Gathering is a time to share, remember, and celebrate their extraordinary history. This is accomplished through the telling of their, and the other residents', own tall tales and legends that honor the presence of He Is in all of creation, to retain a historical record, and for the entertainment and enchantment of all who listen. At times the tales are quite fantastic. At other times they are colorfully heart-felt, rollicking, harrowing, or poignant. Most importantly, however, the tales are filled with hope and encouragement, joy and reverence.

Gilded Lili

ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Burlesque. A unique form of entertainment...and one of the most celebrated forms in burlesque was that of the inimitable Lili St. Cyr. Her body of work as a striptease artist - featuring her innovative on-stage bubble baths and reverse stripteases - was on a level with such dazzling performers as Gypsy Rose Lee and Blaze Starr. And wherever the glamorous Queen of Burlesque appeared, controversy followed. Gilded Lili is the first biography of this pioneering artist, sure to be a smash as burlesque enjoys its own resurgence. Her tempestuous love affairs and troubled life mirror the social changes in sexual politics and the commercialisation of sexuality. A compelling biography and an intriguing take on feminist history, Gilded Lili is golden indeed.

Who Wrote the Book of Life?
Author: Lily E. Kay
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 9780804734172
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
This is a detailed history of one of the most important and dramatic episodes in modern science, recounted from the novel vantage point of the dawn of the information age and its impact on representations of nature, heredity, and society. Drawing on archives, published sources, and interviews, the author situates work on the genetic code (1953-70) within the history of life science, the rise of communication technosciences (cybernetics, information theory, and computers), the intersection of molecular biology with cryptanalysis and linguistics, and the social history of postwar Europe and the United States. Kay draws out the historical specificity in the process by which the central biological problem of DNA-based protein synthesis came to be metaphorically represented as an information code and a writing technologyand consequently as a book of life. This molecular writing and reading is part of the cultural production of the Nuclear Age, its power amplified by the centuries-old theistic resonance of the book of life metaphor. Yet, as the author points out, these are just metaphors: analogies, not ontologies. Necessary and productive as they have been, they have their epistemological limitations. Deploying analyses of language, cryptology, and information theory, the author persuasively argues that, technically speaking, the genetic code is not a code, DNA is not a language, and the genome is not an information system (objections voiced by experts as early as the 1950s). Thus her historical reconstruction and analyses also serve as a critique of the new genomic biopower. Genomic textuality has become a fact of life, a metaphor literalized, she claims, as human genome projects promise new levels of control over life through the meta-level of information: control of the word (the DNA sequences) and its editing and rewriting. But the author shows how the humbling limits of these scriptural metaphors also pose a challenge to the textual and material mastery of the genomic book of life.

Mayakovsky
Author: Bengt Jangfeldt
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022605697X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 623
Book Description
A Life at Stake is the first serious biography of the legendary Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky. Physically imposing, crude, a sexual adventurer and ex-convict, Mayakovsky rose to fame between 1912 and 1917 as a Futurist agitator and the author of radical poems and plays. He embraced the Russian Revolution and became one of its most passionate propagandists, then at the age of thirty-six took his own life, disappointed in the course of Soviet society and ravaged by private conflicts. Mayakovsky s poems are as exhilarating today as when he declaimed them for friends in smoky flats in Moscow, Berlin, Paris, and New York. In Bengt Jangfeldt s propulsive biography, Mayakovsky s life, too, is compelling: a story of constant, passionate upheaval against the background of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, Stalin s terror, and cycles of anti-Semitism. Mayakovsky emerges from this biography a highly vulnerable figure, more a dreamer than a revolutionary, more a political romantic than a hardened Communist."
