Описание: MINDSHOT synopsis Dr. Norman Logan never expected his invention would lead to a fundamental evolutionary change in mankind. He simply wanted to be Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg. Dr. Norman Logan's intention was to change the world when he invented The Mindshot. But he never expected that he would literally succeed in not only changing the world, but in completely altering the human race as we know it today. It started the day the aliens arrived, descending from space, their mothership hovering over the military base at which he worked. That was the day he finally understood what he'd done. Logan learned that these alien visitors were not aliens. These humanoid, lanky creatures that looked like what we've come to accept as "classic-alien", were actually... evolved human beings. Why did we evolve into this? How can this happen? To Dr. Logan's horror, he discovers that in years to come, The Mindshot will inadvertently spark a dramatic chain of events in human evolution, ultimately transforming our appearance radically, from homo-sapiens into the next evolutionary phase of man, called homo-telethians. And these homo-telethians, have traveled back in time from 3000 years in the future, to present day, desperate, because of an unforeseen turn of events in their lifetime. Something else has evolved out of humans as well, something fundamental to mankind: their ability to procreate. Which means, these alien-looking, but entirely human visitors are amongst the last men on Earth. Once they die, mankind will too. Extinction, unless they can restart the human population. Which is why they're here from the future, conducting what they call: Operation Noah's Ark. They've come seeking human volunteers from today, to travel into tomorrow, and repopulate the Earth. Thus saving mankind from extinction. Conflict and strife ensues when the question is asked: Is it wise for us to go correct mistakes in the future, mistakes we have yet to make, or is it better to stay put in present day, and fix our mistakes today, altering our current path, so as to never evolve as we do.

Описание:

The Ethics of Community initiates a conversation between continental philosophy and cultural/literary studies that is long overdue. Illustrating that there is a fundamental ethics in deconstructionist approaches to community that can be provocatively traced in the context of cultural considerations central to African-American and U.S. Latino literature, this is a book about bridging gaps. Luszczynska nimbly traverses the complex terrain of preeminent French philosophers Jacques Derrida and Jean-Luc Nancy, offering a valuable introduction to the ethical components of their philosophical projects. Toni Morrison's Beloved and Ana Menendez's In Cuba I Was a German Shepherd serve as case studies through which Nancian community and Derridean bearing witness are elaborated. As Luszczynska demonstrates, Morrison's foregrounding of the distinct cultural sensibilities of her black and white characters and Menendez's preoccupation with geographical displacement and exile, themselves activate a deconstructive ethics. In this groundbreaking study, distinct cultural understandings and contexts provide a novel way of thinking through intricacies of Nancy and Derrida's thought while revealing the potential of the novel to re-imagine ways of being in the concrete world.

Описание: "The most authoritative edition of Gonzalo Solis de Meras's rare eye-witness account of Pedro Menendez de Aviles's 1565 expedition to Florida, one of the earliest and most valuable accounts written about any region in the United States."--J. Michael Francis, author of Invading Colombia: Spanish Accounts of the Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada Expedition of Conquest "An invaluable source for scholars and aficionados of La Florida alike. The history reads like a novel, and with its careful presentation, we now have a reliable source to a key chapter in early American history and literature."--Thomas Hallock, coeditor of William Bartram, The Search for Nature's Design: Selected Art, Letters, and Unpublished Writings Pedro Menendez de Aviles (1519-1574) founded St. Augustine in 1565. His expedition was documented by his brother-in-law, Gonzalo Solis de Meras, who left a detailed and passionate account of the events leading to the establishment of America's oldest city. Until recently, the only extant version of Solis de Meras's record was one single manuscript that Eugenio Ruidiaz y Caravia transcribed in 1893, and subsequent editions and translations have always followed Ruidiaz's text. In 2012, David Arbesu discovered a more complete record: a manuscript including folios lost for centuries and, more important, excluding portions of the 1893 publication based on retellings rather than the original document. In the resulting volume, Pedro Menendez de Aviles and the Conquest of Florida, Arbesu sheds light on principal events missing from the story of St. Augustine's founding. By consulting the original chronicle, Arbesu provides readers with the definitive bilingual edition of this seminal text.

Описание:

Be nice, but not too nice. Be successful, but not too successful. Just be likeable. Whatever that means?

Women are stuck in an impossible bind. At work, strong women are criticized for being cold, and warm women are seen as pushovers. An award-winning journalist examines this fundamental paradox and empowers readers to let go of old rules and reimagine leadership rather than reinventing themselves.

Consider that even competent women must appear likeable to successfully negotiate a salary, ask for a promotion, or take credit for a job well done--and that studies show these actions usually make them less likeable. And this minefield is doubly loaded when likeability intersects with race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and parental status.

Relying on extensive research and interviews, and carefully examined personal experience, The Likeability Trap delivers an essential examination of the pressure put on women to be amiable at work, home, and in the public sphere, and explores the price women pay for internalizing those demands. Rather than advising readers to make themselves likeable, Menendez empowers them to examine how they perceive themselves and others and explores how the concept of likeability is riddled with cultural biases. Our demands for likeability, she argues, hinder everyone's progress and power.

Inspiring, thoughtful and often funny, The Likeability Trap proposes surprising, practical solutions for confronting the cultural patterns holding us back, encourages us to value unique talents and styles instead of muting them, and to remember that while likeability is part of the game, it will not break you.
