Book Description
After a brief overview of the author's life, a more philosophical approach is taken, to analyze the complex subjects of math, physics, and astronomy, yielding surprising results. While skeptics might find fault in the details, the main theme seems to have merit, and carries significant implications. If one becomes willing to question some basic assumptions that are not built on solid ground, but deeply rooted in our understanding of the cosmos, then a whole new picture comes into focus. A basic mathematical pattern, which has been overlooked since cosmology was born, explains the balance of forces, and the tipping point that made the Big Bang possible, without the need for creative physics. We have long accepted theories of dark forces and made up phenomena, to explain the birth of the universe, but this layman's account of the event might just turn them all on their heads. This may be a great example of how acquired savant syndrome and other mental issues can actually involve valuable differences, showing us the importance of listening to the less celebrated among us.

Retcon Game
Author: Andrew J. Friedenthal
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1496811356
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
The superhero Wolverine time travels and changes storylines. On Torchwood, there's a pill popped to alter memories of the past. The narrative technique of retroactive continuity seems rife lately, given all the world-building in comics. Andrew J. Friedenthal deems retroactive continuity, or “retconning,” as a force with many implications for how Americans view history and culture. Friedenthal examines this phenomenon in a range of media, from its beginnings in comic books and now its widespread shift into television, film, and digital media. Retconning has reached its present form as a result of the complicated workings of superhero comics. In comic books and other narratives, retconning often seems utilized to literally rewrite some aspect of a character's past, either to keep that character more contemporary, to erase stories from continuity that no longer fit, or to create future story potential. From comics, retconning has spread extensively, to long-form, continuity-rich dramas on television, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lost, and beyond. Friedenthal explains that in a culture saturated by editable media, where interest groups argue over Wikipedia pages and politicians can immediately delete questionable tweets, the retcon serves as a perfect metaphor for the ways in which history, and our access to information overall, has become endlessly malleable. In the first book to focus on this subject, Friedenthal regards the editable Internet hyperlink, rather than the stable printed footnote, as the de facto source of information in America today. To embrace retroactive continuity in fictional media means accepting that the past itself is not a stable element, but rather something constantly in contentious flux. Due to retconning's ubiquity within our media, we have grown familiar with narratives as inherently unstable, a realization that deeply affects how we understand the world.

Book Description
The epic conclusion to the Shadow Beast Shifters. I finally have the life I always dreamed of. So why does it taste like ash on my tongue? Growing up in Torma, the strongest of the shifter packs, I wanted nothing more than to find my true mate and live my best life. Of course, that dream existed before my father betrayed the pack and turned me into their punching bag. I'd all but given up, until a quirk of true mate genetics gifted me a true mate like no other. My childhood dreams were finally a reality. Funny how quickly dreams turn into nightmares. I'm being lied to, missing weeks and months of time. Someone messed with me and no matter how often I'm told to forget it and move on as Torin's mate, there's no way I can. Whoever did this to me should have known I'd pick at it until it bled. It's my nature after all. As I search out random growls, flutters in my chest, and a suspicion that there's so much more going on than I could even imagine, I sense that I'm racing against an unknown clock. I need to get to the bottom of this mystery. And when I figure out who stole my memories, they're going to wish they never messed with Mera Callahan. Game on. -If you like sexy, dark paranormal romances, with humor, steam, action, a tough heroine and an antihero, this is for you.
