Book Description
Cinematic Aided Design: An Everyday Life Approach to Architecture provides architects, planners, designer practitioners, politicians and decision makers with a new awareness of the practice of everyday life through the medium of film. This novel approach will also appeal to film scholars and film practitioners with an interest in spatial and architectural issues, as well as researchers from cultural studies in the field of everyday life. The everyday life is one of the hardest things to uncover since by its very nature it remains overlooked and ignored. However, cinema has over the last 120 years represented, interpreted and portrayed hundreds of thousands of everyday life situations taking place in a wide range of dwellings, streets and cities. Film constitutes the most comprehensive lived in building data in existence. Cinema created a comprehensive encyclopedia of architectural spaces and building elements. It has exposed large fragments of our everyday life and everyday environment that this book is aiming to reveal and restitute.

THIS IS NOT A STORY ABOUT LOVE. It’s about the real world, where everyone has psychic powers. Even you. Even me. Even Hoshi’s ex-boyfriend who won’t stop pestering them. What does he want? “RAS” PAPILLON is a complete gender disaster (and a clown to boot). He’s fabulous, flirtatious, and funny in the strangest way. He can make you laugh with just one look. You’d think this social butterfly wouldn’t need help getting anybody’s attention… And yet. There is a young woman at the center of the universe. Her name is MIEL PAZ FONSECA, she’s trying to find herself in this wide world, and she has no clue her life is about to get turned upside down. All of a sudden, she’s the center of attention. Who are these fabulous strangers, and why won’t they leave her alone? THIS IS A STORY ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS; the ex whose bridge you burned, the ride-or-die friendships, the people who show up out of the blue and change you forever. This is a story about the real world, and the year everything changed.

Book Description
This interdisciplinary collection explores how cinema calls into question its own frame of reference and, at the same time, how its form becomes the matter of its thought. Building on the axiom (cherished by philosophers of cinema from Epstein to Deleuze) that cinema is a medium that thinks in conjunction with its spectators, this book examines how various forms of the cinematic rethink and redraw the terrain of traditional disciplines, thereby enabling different modes of thought and practice. Areas under consideration by a range of leading academics and practitioners include architecture, science, writing in a visual field, event-theory and historiography.

Book Description
In an effort to cope with the death of his wife, Scott Theisen resumes his passion for writing by reviving a manuscript he started before his marriage to Patricia. The novel is written in the genre of nonfiction a la Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood. It tells the story of the search for an active serial killer, dubbed The Horrorscope Killer, who has been killing women on the dates of the zodiac cusps. Scott meticulously researches the murders, finishes his manuscript, sends out queries, and gets a response from literary agent Lindsay Hangton, who requests a hardcopy of the manuscript. But the manuscript disappears, along with all his electronic and hard copies. Desperate to recover the manuscript, he tracks Lindsay, who is headed to her cabin in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Lindsay’s boss, the owner of Mantis Literary Agency, also has an obsessive interest in the manuscript. Scott and Lindsay meet at a local Indian casino and become romantically involved. As their relationship becomes more intense, they focus on preserving the manuscript and revealing the identity of the serial killer. The fate of all three lives culminates in Lindsay’s cabin as the search for the missing manuscript finally ends in a surprising twist—one of many in this intriguing novel of suspense.
