Book Description
Rylie and Arthish leave the School in hopes to find a safe haven for them to rest and grow stronger. However, in their travels they quickly begin to see the grotesque reality that is man. Being hunted by bounty hunters and forced to have death matches in this sick game, who’ll say that anyone will make it out alive. Even more unusual than the events Art and Rye find themselves forced into, are the absolutely strange and almost lunatic-like people they encounter. Some rather harmless in their own right. Others, quake the earth as they walk. With such a strange phenomenon in such an unknown place, how could they ever expect to win this sick game. A game in which invites only the most intelligent and strong people of the world. From all walks of life, they come. Heroic soldiers and commanders to petty thieves and wanted men. Warrior tribe members, cultists, secret groups of assassins and even secluded hermits. They all leave their home to participate in this Gyros Game, this guards game.

Methland
Author: Nick Reding
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1608191567
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
A New York Times Bestseller Winner of the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize Winner of the Hillman Prize for Book Journalism Named a best book of the year by: the Los Angeles Times the San Francisco Chronicle the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch the Chicago Tribune the Seattle Times "A stunning look at a problem that has dire consequences for our country.”-New York Post The dramatic story of Methamphetamine as it comes to the American Heartland-a timely, moving, account of one community's attempt to confront the epidemic and see their way to a brighter future. Crystal methamphetamine is widely considered to be the most dangerous drug in the world, and nowhere is that more true than in the small towns of the American heartland. Methland is the story of the drug as it infiltrates the community of Oelwein, Iowa (pop. 6,159), a once-thriving farming and railroad community. Tracing the connections between the lives touched by meth and the global forces that have set the stage for the epidemic, Methland offers a vital and unique perspective on a pressing contemporary tragedy. Oelwein, Iowa is like thousand of other small towns across the county. It has been left in the dust by the consolidation of the agricultural industry, a depressed local economy and an out-migration of people. If this wasn't enough to deal with, an incredibly cheap, long-lasting, and highly addictive drug has come to town, touching virtually everyone's lives. Journalist Nick Reding reported this story over a period of four years, and he brings us into the heart of the town through an ensemble cast of intimately drawn characters, including: Clay Hallburg, the town doctor, who fights meth even as he struggles with his own alcoholism; Nathan Lein, the town prosecutor, whose case load is filled almost exclusively with meth-related crime, and Jeff Rohrick, who is still trying to kick a meth habit after four years. Methland is a portrait of a community under siege, of the lives the drug has devastated, and of the heroes who continue to fight the war. It will appeal to readers of David Sheff's bestselling Beautiful Boy, and serve as inspiration for those who believe in the power of everyday people to change their world for the better.

The Ascetic Imperative in Culture and Criticism
Author: Geoffrey Galt Harpham
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226316904
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
In this bold interdisciplinary work, Geoffrey Galt Harpham argues that asceticism has played a major role in shaping Western ideas of the body, writing, ethics, and aesthetics. He suggests that we consider the ascetic as "the 'cultural' element in culture," and presents a close analysis of works by Athanasius, Augustine, Matthias, Grünewald, Nietzsche, Foucault, and other thinkers as proof of the extent of asceticism's resources. Harpham demonstrates the usefulness of his findings by deriving from asceticism a "discourse of resistance," a code of interpretation ultimately more generous and humane than those currently available to us.
