Culture of Terror
Author: Eugene E. Narrett
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1438981511
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
In Culture of Terror Eugene Narrett accomplishes a remarkable task: defining and identifying the roots of postmodernism in the scientific utopianism of the Enlightenment. Dr. Narrett explains and traces the increasing totalitarian core of this drive to control and "perfect" human beings to the media "distraction machine." Using core texts from political philosophy and literature, he follows the Romantic revolution in values and scientific utopianism, through Modernism and its suicidal, relativistic, power mad postscript, postmodernism. Using a broad palette of great writings from many disciplines he traces America's regression to nihilistic paganism directed by an oligarchy and a new, hi-tech feudalism that impoverishes and de-humanizes. In America, the 'flower' of the West, the contradictions and self-negation in this process are most pronounced and grotesque as shown by popular culture which he examines extensively. "Culture of Terror" is a unique tale of imperial identity theft playing out its logic in confessions of regret, expressive instrospection (psychology) and the exhibitionism of media spectacles that absorb and program everything in the disintegrating language of its its "distraction machine."

Probablepolis
Author: Dell Richard Dell and Rowan Dellderonde
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1440192804
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 522
Book Description
Dr. Moebius, a madman with a flair for the absurd, creates a Holographic, simulated Universe that he calls ProbablePolis, and then promptly kidnaps his senior lab assistant, Dr. Limberly Rondell, to vanishes into it for all time. Limberly's husband, Shard Rondell, a special forces commando with the MoonClock Project, goes in after her through the MoonClock Gate and is never heard from again. Moebius thinks he has all bases covered, but he's done far too good a job of programming the LOGOS, an autonomous sentient software program that runs all ProbablePolis; the LOGOS manages to figure out how to coax the Rondells ten year old daughter, little Nowar Rondell, to come into the breach to help save her Mother and Father, and hopefully, all of ProbablePolis... This book is a Theosophany of sorts, an adventurous journey through metaphysical pop culture, combining elements of humor, quantum physics, gnosticism, history, mythology, geometry, musicology and fantasy into what could otherwise be misconstrued as an exercise in an action-adventure.

The Queen's Dwarf
Author: Ella March Chase
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1250038529
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
A richly imagined, gorgeously written historical novel set in the Stuart court featuring a unique hero: Jeffrey Hudson, a dwarf tasked with spying on the beautiful but vulnerable queen It's 1629, and King Charles I and his French queen Henrietta Maria have reigned in England for less than three years. Young dwarf Jeffrey Hudson is swept away from a village shambles and plunged into the Stuart court when his father sells him to the most hated man in England—the Duke of Buckingham. Buckingham trains Jeffrey to be his spy in the household of Charles' seventeen-year-old bride, hoping to gain intelligence that will help him undermine the vivacious queen's influence with the king. Desperately homesick in a country that hates her for her nationality and Catholic faith, Henrietta Maria surrounds herself with her "Royal Menagerie of Freaks and Curiosities of Nature"—a "collection" consisting of a giant, two other dwarves, a rope dancer, an acrobat/animal trainer and now Jeffrey, who is dubbed "Lord Minimus." Dropped into this family of misfits, Jeffrey must negotiate a labyrinth of court intrigue and his own increasingly divided loyalties. For not even the plotting of the Duke nor the dangers of a tumultuous kingdom can order the heart of a man. Though he is only eighteen inches tall, Jeffrey Hudson's love will reach far beyond his grasp—to the queen he has been sent to destroy. Full of vibrant period detail, The Queen's Dwarf by Ella March Chase is a thrilling and evocative portrait of an intriguing era.
