Book Description
When Craig's high school buddy suggests a road trip, Craig knows its a bad idea. Bryan is out for a good time, no matter the cost, and he has his sights set on Craig's dad's van for the journey. As Bryan assembles a group of friends for the van, Craig does his best to predict what could go wrong - a speeding ticket, cigarette smell in the car, running out of snacks, getting into arguments. It all feels such an enormous responsibility to him, and his friends don't seem to share the same outlook he does - except the beautiful Hailey, who joins them on the trip. But Craig cannot anticipate what's about to happen to them all, or indeed the world, as a worldwide emergency changes everything. He will stop at nothing to get home, even when his friends become unpredictable - or become enemies. He also doesn't foresee or understand the biggest responsibility of all - a strange gift he discovers that leaves him questioning his sanity and the course of the future...and the past.

Fate, Nature, and Literary Form
Author: Kinya Nishi
Publisher: Academic Studies PRess
ISBN: 1644693801
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
This study is a theoretical reconsideration of the concept of the “tragic” combined with detailed analyses of Japanese literary texts. Inspired by contemporary critical discourse (especially the works by such thinkers as Theodor Adorno, Fredric Jameson and Raymond Williams), the author challenges both exotic and postmodern representation of Japanese culture as “the other” of the West. By examining the social backgrounds of artists’ endeavors to create new literary forms, the author unveils a rich tradition of tragic literature that, unlike the dominant local tradition of naturalism, has registered the unbridgeable gap between universal ideals and social values at a particular historical moment.

Book Description
Beyond Fate is the story of Tim Storey, a teacher from Port Washington who suddenly receives intuitive information that he believes may lead him to the whereabouts of four people who mysteriously disappeared. A college coed fails to return home in Green Bay where her car is later found in a parking lot. A commercial fishing boat out of Port Washington, manned by three men, fails to return to port on a clear day in December after fishing on Lake Michigan. Tim becomes obsessed with the information he seems to have been chosen to receive when he and a friend mistakenly wander onto the Clam Lake military base in Northern Wisconsin while deer hunting. The interrogation they endure doesnt seem to fit the error of trespassing, leading Tim to believe there is more to the base than appearances allow. Unsure if the random clues refer to the coed or the fishing boat, he begins an investigation that leads him to the upper peninsula of Michigan and several startling discoveries. Tim meets the enigmatic Palmer, a conspiracy theorist and paranormal investigator who teams with him to solve the riddle of the missing in a journey that will change Tims life forever.

A T”örténelmi Regény
Author: Georg Lukács
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803279100
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
Georg Lukács (1885–1971) is now recognized as one of the most innovative and best-informed literary critics of the twentieth century. Trained in the German philosophic tradition of Kant, Hegel, and Marx, he escaped Nazi persecution by fleeing to the Soviet Union in 1933. There he faced a new set of problems: Stalinist dogmatism about literature and literary criticism. Maneuvering between the obstacles of censorship, he wrote and published his longest work of literary criticism, The Historical Novel, in 1937. Beginning with the novels of Sir Walter Scott, The Historical Novel documents the evolution of a genre that came to dominate European fiction in the years after Napoleon. The novel had reached a point at which it could be socially and politically critical as well as psychologically insightful. Lukács devotes his final chapter to the anti-Nazi fiction of Germany and Austria.

Fate and Effects of Sediment-Bound Chemicals in Aquatic Systems
Author: Kenneth L. Dickson
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483148122
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 478
Book Description
Fate and Effects of Sediment-Bound Chemicals in Aquatic Systems presents the proceedings of the Sixth Pellston Workshop, held in Florissant, Colorado on August 12–17, 1984. This book presents the development of scientific inquiry of hazards to the aquatic environment. Organized into 27 chapters, this compilation of papers begins with an overview of water quality significance of sediment-associated contaminants to aquatic life. This text then addresses the topic of the role of suspended and settled sediments in regulating the effects of chemicals in the aquatic environment. Other chapters consider the nature and extent of partitioning and bioavailability, which are key elements in research efforts toward assessing the effects of sediments on water quality. This book discusses as well the regulatory and management strategies for chemicals entering public water supplies. The final chapter deals with conclusions and recommendations identified during the workshop. This book is a valuable resource for biologists and environmental scientists.

ISBN: 1441522247
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
Ecological roots of our toubled time are deeper than its economic manifestations. Anguished posterity will look back on this 21st century as "the bottleneck century." Bottleneck: Humanity's Impending Impasse was written to show how and why three converging trends have put humankind in much deeper peril than is generally acknowledged. First, there are many more of us inhabiting this planet than it can sustain. Second, technological advances of recent centuries have made gigantic and prodigal our per capita resource appetites and our per capita environmental impacts. Third, even though, as the symbol-using species, we humans conceivably could do better at anticipating future circumstances and planning ahead, our evolutionary heritage together with unanticipated dysfunctions of modern division of labor have kept us too preoccupied with short-term concerns. People today are dependent upon a fantastically intricate web of exchange relations ("the market"). Even when functioning normally and not in a collapsed condition, as currently this system of relations has a serious and pervasive dehumanizing effect not adequately discerned by economists nor sociologists. Recognition of and adequate adaptation to the deteriorating ecological context of human life has been impeded. Human societies (even our own) are almost certainly going to act in ways that will make an inevitably difficult future unnecessarily worse. Factors analyzed in this book have made people seriously averse to the kind and extent of cooperation our difficult future will require. Together with the basic trio of disturbing trends humans having become so numerous, so ravenous, and so short-sighted this has made the nature of today's human prospect far more dire than most policymakers dare admit. It tempts even the wisest and most civic-minded to seek or promote "remedial" policies that will worsen the real predicament.
