Absent All Remorse
Author: Scott M. Stanley
Publisher: Abbott Press
ISBN: 1458222268
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
Following the death of her beloved Gran, former Navy JAG officer Charlotte Morris went through some terrible times. She’d become practically a recluse when her best friend, Tanya, dragged her from an emotional coma and taught Charley how to live again. Now, Tanya has been abducted, and the apparent perpetrators have far-reaching, international sway. Joshua Williams was a commissioned officer in the United States Navy for eighteen years. He lived the dream, serving his country while seeing exotic, exciting places. Then, tragedy struck, and Josh sought a reason to keep going. He has now been assigned to assist Charley in her search for Tanya—whether he likes it or not. Charley joins forces with Josh, whom she must trust with her life despite her better instincts. She’s still not sure what politics have to do with Tanya’s abduction, but she doesn’t really care, so long as she can get Tanya back alive. Their investigation takes Charley and Josh halfway around the world, and as they grow closer to their culprit, they also grow closer to each other. However, pursuing Tanya’s captors means pursuing the world’s super powers. This could end in war.

Forbearance

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
It is 2065 and Earth continues its downward spiral. It is more polluted, overcrowded and, most of all, more desperate. Then Charley shows up in an alien spaceship and oers an escape: a chance for a new life on a new world, in a colony currently under construction. Everyone is skeptical. Who is this guy who claims to be just an ordinary man? How did he come to possess such a ship? Just what is the deal here? Is the offer for real? It is, but of course theres a catch; there is always a catch. This is the story of that colony and what Charley did to earn it, what consequential task he undertook for an alien species that resulted in being rewarded with an entire planet. That part of the tale is not so pretty. It is also, however, a story about interstellar love, of the romance between Charley and the beautiful Clarity of Purpose, human but not of Earth. She, at least, is far more appealing. Primarily, this is the story of one mans indomitable will and the consequences of his personal desperation. Possible annihilation of the human race was merely an unforeseen consequence. That could not possibly happen, could it?

The British Comic Book Invasion
Author: Jochen Ecke
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476674159
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
What makes a successful comics creator? How can storytelling stay exciting and innovative? How can genres be kept vital? Writers and artists in the highly competitive U.S. comics mainstream have always had to explore these questions but they were especially pressing in the 1980s. As comics readers grew older they started calling for more sophisticated stories. They were also no longer just following the adventures of popular characters--writers and artists with distinctive styles were in demand. DC Comics and Marvel went looking for such mavericks and found them in the United Kingdom. Creators like Alan Moore (Watchmen, Saga of the Swamp Thing), Grant Morrison (The Invisibles, Flex Mentallo) and Garth Ennis (Preacher) migrated from the anarchical British comics industry to the U.S. mainstream and shook up the status quo yet came to rely on the genius of the American system.

Charley 05
Author: Maurizio Cattelan
Publisher: Deste Foundation for Contemporary Art
ISBN: 9781933045672
Category : Art, Modern
Languages : en
Pages : 554
Book Description
Charley is an approximately annual publication edited by Maurizio Cattelan, Massimiliano Gioni and Ali Subotnick, and designed by The Purtill Family Business. It is as visual as a magazine and as substantial as a book, but refuses to abide by either genre's rules. Following earlier editions on the 2001-2002 New York art season, on neglected artists from the 80s and early 90s, and on museum acquisitions, this new volume rounds up the stray dogs of contemporary art--Charley 5 features artists who have remained forgotten, proudly secluded or just unnoticed, in spite of their visionary work. Its galleries of obsessions mix professionals and amateurs, cult figures and unknowns, unheard prophets, voluntary outcasts and great solitary masters and freaks, celebrating the extreme subjectivity of more than 50 voices and implicitly questioning accepted hierarchies in the process. The editors have said of their recent work, "it's a way to say, look around...The latest issues of Charley are a lot about 'What ifs': what if there were many more artists than we actually speak about? What if our artist list was just partial and irrelevant?" Charley is sponsored by the Deste Foundation, Athens, Greece, which supports artist's projects, exhibitions, and symposia that explore the relationship between contemporary art and culture.

Managing Innovation
Author: John Ettlie
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136383875
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
Managing Innovation: New Technology, New Products, and New Services in a Global Economy, 2nd Edition is devoted to providing a better understanding and better management of all of the causes and consequences of change that have technological implications in and around our global organizations. This text is a unique, original contribution and represents a significant alternative to the collection of chapters written by others. The second edition has new cases with a few classics from the first edition that have been retained in response to reader feedback. The key subjects that are included have been significantly updated and treated in greater depth. The number of chapters has been reduced from 12 to 10 so it is easy to adapt to almost any course or training on the subject in any discipline or to any audience. This exceptionally informative book provides a broad perspective on how technological change can be effectively managed in modern organizations. The text explains the conceptual frameworks supported by new and original case studies for start-up companies like Askmen.com, the complex challenges of managing international technology-based companies like NexPress (a joint venture of Kodak and Heidelberg) in the digital printing industry, and corporate sustainability using innovative new product technologies illustrated by the case of Evinrude’s launch of the E-tec® outboard motor. John E. Ettlie's three decades in the field of innovation as an instructor and researcher bring an exceptional perspective to this subject. His text is unique in its discussion of how technology has transformed the service sector. Few books on technology make the distinction between new offerings in manufacturing and the service sector which is emphasized in this text.
