Seeker: Identity Crisis
Author: Gary Reed
Publisher: Caliber Comics
ISBN: 1629785849
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Black Widow meets Witchblade! The saga of Seeker began millennia ago with the fall of the fabled continent called Atlantis. Long ago, it was prophesied that two brothers of the Atlantean royal family would vie for control of that vast empire and, in the attempt, bring about its destruction. This came to pass and the younger of the brothers, Kiryn, was damned to forever walk the Earth as a spectre, always “seeking” release of his shackles but never finding it. But eons later, Kiryn has discovered a way to inhabit willing human hosts and thus, the legacy of the Seeker had begun. Now, the “Seeker” has found a receptacle in the form of Tracy LeMaster. As a highly successful FBI agent, Tracy has an ingrained sense and single minded focus of justice. The Seeker’s loathing of wrongdoing is strongly apparent within her and, thus, the two of them have united as one in the eerie semblance of the newest Seeker. BUT NOW…ALL THAT HAS CHANGED. Having been the latest incarnation of Seeker, Tracy LeMaster is locked up in a mental hospital because obviously, her belief in Atlantis and connection to Kiryn couldn’t possibly be true. For the Seeker persona is now a popular icon figure and its government funded program to battle against corporate crime and terrorism around the world has become singular mission, and all the trappings of Atlantis are gone. With Tracy locked up, LeAnn Heyward is the current Seeker and carries out her duties, however a new pupil, Maxine Brasura, is unknowingly in training to become the next Seeker. Collects the Seeker comic book issues #1-3, and comic issues Seeker: Dawn of Armageddon, and Gestalt #0 A Caliber Comics release.

Acting under Uncertainty
Author: George M. von Furstenberg
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401578737
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 493
Book Description
Uncertainty could be associated with wisdom, enterprise, and discovery. In ordinary speech, however, it has mostly negative connotations. There is "fear of the unknown" and "ignorance is bliss;" there are maxims to the effect that "what you don't know doesn't hurt you" (or: "bother you") in several languages. This volume suggests that we need be bothered by the excessive confidence with which scientists, particularly social scientists, present some of their conclusions and overstate their range of application. Otherwise many of the questions that should be raised about all the major uncertainties attending a particular issue routinely may continue to be thwarted or suppressed. Down playing uncertainty does not lead to more responsible or surer action, it sidetracks research agendas, and leaves the decision makers exposed to nasty surprise. This volume demonstrates that recognizing the many forms of uncertainty that enter into the development of any particular subject matter is a precondition for more responsible choice and deeper knowledge. Our purpose is to contribute to a broader appreciation of uncertainty than regularly accorded in any of the numerous disciplines represented here. The seventeenth-century French philosopher Descartes, quoted in this volume, wrote that "whoever is searching after truth must, once in his life, doubt all things; insofar as this is possible. " White areas left on maps of the world in past centuries were a much more productive challenge than marking the end of the known world with the pillars of Hercules.

The Euro-Western
Author: Lee Broughton
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857727389
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
The Western has always been inextricably linked to the USA, and studies have continually sought to connect its historical development to changes in American society and Hollywood innovations. Focusing new critical attention on films produced in Germany, Italy and Britain, this timely book offers a radical rereading of the evolutionary history of the Western and brings a vital international dimension to its study. Lee Broughton argues not only that European films possess a special significance in terms of the genre's global development, but also that many offered groundbreaking and progressive representations of traditional Wild West 'Others': Native Americans, African Americans and so-called 'strong women'. European Westerns investigates how the histories of Germany, Italy and Britain - and the idiosyncrasies of their respective national film industries - influenced representations of the self and 'Other', shedding light on the broader cultural, historical and political contexts that shaped European engagement with the genre.
