To Boldly Stay
Author: Sherry Ginn
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476685401
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Despite the fact that Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ended over twenty-five years ago, there has yet to be a stand-alone assessment of the series. This collection corrects that omission, examining what made Deep Space Nine so unique within the Star Trek universe, and how that uniqueness paved the way for an altogether new, entirely different vision for Star Trek. If the Star Trek slogan has always been "to boldly go where no one has gone before," then Deep Space Nine helped to bring in a new renaissance of serialized television that has become normal practice. Furthermore, Deep Space Nine ushered in critical discussions on race, gender, and faith for the franchise, science fiction television and American lives. It relished in a vast cast of supporting characters that allowed for the investigation of psychosocial relationships--from familial issues to interpersonal and interspecies conflict to regional strife--that the previous Star Trek series largely overlooked. Essays explore how Deep Space Nine became the most richly complicated "sci-fi" series in the entire Star Trek pantheon.

Essays on Ayn Rand's "We the Living"
Author: Robert Mayhew
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 9780739106983
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
Ayn Rand remains a truly significant figure of modern philosophy. Her unique vision of a world in which man, relying on reason, acts wholly for his own good is skillfully developed and illustrated in her most famous novels, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. But Rand's first novel, We the Living, a lesser-known but no less important book, offers an early form of the author's nascent philosophy--the philosophy Rand later called Objectivism. Robert Mayhew's collection of entirely new essays brings together pre-eminent scholars of Rand's writing. In part a history of We the Living, from its earliest drafts to the Italian film later based upon it, Mayhew's collection goes on to explore the enduring significance of Rand's first novel as a work both of philosophy and of literature. For Ayn Rand scholars and fans alike, this collection is a compelling examination of a novel that set the tone for some of the most influential philosophical literature to follow.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 473
Book Description
Every episode of the first four seasons of equipment oddities, weird science, strange but true observations, and nutty technical difficulties for discriminating fans of Deep Space Nine. Commanders Log, DS9: Star Date 46379.1: Bajor below. The cosmos above. Bloopers Everywhere! How long is the wormhole? In "Emissary," it is 70,000 light years. Four episodes later Sisko says it is 90,000. Better check the odometer, Sisko! Does the Space Station rotate? Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't! Look at the stars in the windows... Now that NextGen is history, the time has come to take a leap through hyperspace and land on Deep Space Nine. It's unexplored territory for nitpicking, the ultimate challenge for discriminating fans. This guide brings you the scoop on Deep Space Nine--the good, the bad, and the Ferengi. Author Phil Farrand (with a little help from his Trekker friends) has had his VCR in warp drive and surveyed every DS9 episode of the first four seasons for the glitches, gaffs, and goofs that neither the station's engineers nor the show's writers have solved. Sit yourself down with this guide in one hand, your remote control in the other, and see for yourself what the wormhole has wrought.

Quicklet on Ayn Rand's We the Living

Publisher: Hyperink Inc
ISBN: 161464246X
Category : Study Aids
Languages : en
Pages : 46
Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK The closest thing to an autobiography of Ayn Rand's early life, We the Living follows the main protagonist Kira as she tries to survive in an oppressive country that will not let her attend school, hold a steady job, or lead a normal life because her family belonged to the upper class before a cataclysmic war. MEET THE AUTHOR Danielle Clark has an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from St. Mary's College of California and a B.A. in English Literature from UC Davis. She currently resides in the Bay Area and works as a Journalist in San Francisco's Financial District. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Rand uses an omniscient third person point of view narrator who goes into the head of every character, sometimes even characters passing on the street. In doing this, the reader sees how the proletariat is broken down by the Communist Party. The people who are constantly being made to work are not seen as individuals, but as part of the whole working class. Kira notes several times when she is going through the motions of her daily life how she has been reduced to the status of a living machine through the constant routine of work, eat, sleep. The theme of work is used several times throughout the novel in an ironic sense as well. Throughout We The Living, Rand takes many excursions from the plot of the story to go off on multi-page descriptive tangents. At the beginning of almost every chapter the narrative veers into winding sensory images that describe the bustling life in her hometown of Petrograd. The omniscient narrative steps into the mind of almost every character encountered in Petrograd. Since We The Living was Rands first attempt to write a long work in English she wanted to focus on a setting that she felt very comfortable with, and the best way to do that was to focus on her hometown.
