A study of the relationship between platform and creative expression in the Atari VCS.
The Atari Video Computer System dominated the home video game market so completely that "Atari" became the generic term for a video game console. The Atari VCS was affordable and offered the flexibility of changeable cartridges. Nearly a thousand of these were created, the most significant of which established new techniques, mechanics, and even entire genres. This book offers a detailed and accessible study of this influential video game console from both computational and cultural perspectives.
Studies of digital media have rarely investigated platforms--the systems underlying computing. This book (the first in a series of Platform Studies) does so, developing a critical approach that examines the relationship between platforms and creative expression. Nick Montfort and Ian Bogost discuss the Atari VCS itself and examine in detail six game cartridges: Combat, Adventure, Pac-Man, Yars' Revenge, Pitfall , and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. They describe the technical constraints and affordances of the system and track developments in programming, gameplay, interface, and aesthetics. Adventure, for example, was the first game to represent a virtual space larger than the screen (anticipating the boundless virtual spaces of such later games as World of Warcraft and Grand Theft Auto), by allowing the player to walk off one side into another space; and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back was an early instance of interaction between media properties and video games. Montfort and Bogost show that the Atari VCS--often considered merely a retro fetish object--is an essential part of the history of video games.

2018 Reprint of 1954 Edition. In this book St. Louis De Monfort explains the rosary and its power in short sections called Roses, each being about one or two pages long. Each Rose discusses a separate aspect of the Rosary and is addressed to a different cross section of the audience, e.g. priests versus lay people.
The book consists of an introduction, plus two main parts. Part I: "What the Rosary is" and Part II: "How to Recite it". The book is structured in terms of 53 Roses, i.e. sections. The book was intended as a compendium of everything that was necessary to know about the Rosary and to highlight its significance in Catholic life.

Описание: Eighteenth-century women told their life stories through making. With its compelling stories of women’s material experiences and practices, Material Lives offers a new perspective on eighteenth-century production and consumption. Genteel women’s making has traditionally been seen as decorative, trivial and superficial. Yet their material archives, forged through fabric samples, watercolours, dressed prints and dolls’ garments, reveal how women used the material culture of making to record and navigate their lives.
Material Lives positions women as ‘makers’ in a consumer society. Through fragments of fabric and paper, Dyer explores an innovative way of accessing the lives of otherwise obscured women. For researchers and students of material culture, dress history, consumption, gender and women’s history, it offers a rich resource to illuminate the power of needles, paintbrushes and scissors.

Описание: The first study of how migrants view their own history and how migrant history is viewed by British society, this book addresses themes of vital importance to contemporary history, and covers every aspect of the migrant experience. Who are the migrants that have flocked to Britain since the nineteenth century? How do they understand their experiences? "Histories and Memories" is the first work of its kind to examine this question from the perspective of the migrants themselves, and the way in which historians and popular culture have recognised them. In so doing, it explores a wide range of ethnic groups and experiences from racism to Britishness, self-perception and the role of memory in migrant history. This original, incisive book breaks down disciplinary and intellectual boundaries to address themes of vital importance to contemporary history.

What You Should Really Know About Eucharistic Devotion
St. Louis de Montfort wrote in his "True Devotion to Mary": "But always remember that the more you allow Mary to act in your Communion, the more Jesus will be glorified" (#273).
And, in this book, "Preparation for Holy Communion with Mary in the Spirit of Blessed de Montfort", Fr. Jean-Marie Texier - called by the Montfort Fathers "a remarkable spiritual writer" - shows you precisely how to allow Mary to act in your Communion.
Here's a sneak preview of what you get:
1. Discover the two types of preparation for Holy Communion. (If people think about this at all, they think there's only one type.) (p.1)
2. Find out how to prepare for Holy Communion in union with Mary to make your Communions more perfect. ("This soul which lives in the orbit of the heavenly Virgin, which reflects the light of her sanctity, how it is loved by Jesus With what favors does He fill it " (p.4))
3. See how to unite yourself with Mary's sentiments with regard to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament ("He penetrates into the soul of the child of Mary, in order to bring there something of the joys of Heaven." (p.9))
4. Know without a shadow of a doubt why Mary is Jesus' way to us and what you need to know to benefit from this ("It is necessary to draw the Savior into ourselves through the irresistible charms of His Mother: it is necessary for Him to be happy to descend into our souls, because His Mother calls Him there through a tender love." (p.12))
5. See as clear as day why Mary is the perfect way which leads to Jesus, and how she will make you "savor the sweetness of His presence." (p.15))
6. The single best way to make Jesus feel at home when He comes to you in Holy Communion (In fact, it's the only way.). And it will cause Him to flood you with His blessings (p.23)
7. Why the reign of Mary MUST precede the reign of Jesus in your soul (p.27).
8. "Of all created goods, nothing delights Him, touches Him, and disposes Him in our favor like (see page 48)."
9. What your "great preoccupation" must be when preparing for Holy Communion. Jesus prepared the Apostles this way for the Last Supper (p.54).
10. The "secret of holiness" revealed (p.69).
Additionally, if that isn't enough to make you want to know the most effective ways to prepare for Holy Communion with Mary, consider what St. Louis de Montfort says...
"As a false coiner does not ordinarily counterfeit anything but gold and silver, or very rarely the other metals, because they are not worth the trouble, so the evil spirit does not for the most part counterfeit the other devotions, but only those to Jesus and Mary, the devotion to Holy Communion, and to our Blessed Lady, because they are, among other devotions, what gold and silver are amongst metals" (#90).
Now, Jesus said: "But I say unto you, on the day of judgment, people will render an account for every idle word they speak. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned" (Mt. 12:36-37).
And so, conscious of my grave responsibility before God, I'm very well aware that one day I will stand alone before the just Judge, and have to render a strict account for every word I've written about this book.
The fact is, because of my own salvation, you can be absolutely sure that what I've written about this book is 100% true. And you should expect no less from a Marian devotee.
So there you have it. You can clearly see that whereas you have nothing to lose, I have everything to lose if I'm not truthful. The risk is 100% on me.
It's that simple. So order your copy today.

Описание: Between 1946 and 1964 seventy-five million babies were born, dwarfing the generations that preceded and succeeded them. At each stage of its life-cycle, the baby boom’s great size has dictated the terms of national policy and public debate. While aspects of this history are well-documented, the relationship between the baby boom and Hollywood has never been explored. And yet, for almost 40 years, baby boomers made up the majority of Hollywood’s audience, and since the 1970s, boomers have dominated movie production. Hollywood and the Baby Boom weaves together interviews with leading filmmakers, archival research and the memories of hundreds of ordinary filmgoers to tell the full story of Hollywood’s relationship with the boomers for the first time. The authors demonstrate the profound influence of the boomers on the ways that movies were made, seen and understood since the 1950s. The result is a compelling new account that draws upon an unprecedented range of sources, and offers new insights into the history of American movies.
