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.

Описание: For the last sixty years discussion of 1950s science fiction cinema has been dominated by claims that the genre reflected US paranoia about Soviet brainwashing and the nuclear bomb. However, classic films, such as Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and It Came from Outer Space (1953), and less familiar productions, such as It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958), were regularly exported to countries across the world. The histories of their encounters with foreign audiences have not yet been told. Science Fiction Cinema and 1950s Britain begins this task by recounting the story of 1950s British cinema-goers and the aliens and monsters they watched on the silver screen. Drawing on extensive archival research, Matthew Jones makes an exciting and important intervention by locating American science fiction films alongside their domestic counterparts in their British contexts of release and reception. He offers a radical reassessment of the genre, demonstrating for the first time that in Britain, which was a significant market for and producer of science fiction, these films gave voice to different fears than they did in America. While Americans experienced an economic boom, low immigration and the conferring of statehood on Alaska and Hawaii, Britons worried about economic uncertainty, mass immigration and the dissolution of the Empire. Science Fiction Cinema and 1950s Britain uses these and other differences between the British and American experiences of the 1950s to tell a new history of the decade’s science fiction cinema, exploring for the first time the ways in which the genre came to mean something unique to Britons.

Описание: A biography of one of the Middle Ages' most controversial, reckless, and heroic figures Born in France in the early thirteenth century to a crusading father of the same name, Simon de Montfort traveled to England in his adulthood, where he claimed the earldom of Leicester and ingratiated himself into King Henry III's inner circles. Initially a trusted advisor, Simon's good relationship with the king did not last. Frustrated by the increasing injustice meted out to his subjects, Simon would go on to rebel against him, marching on the king's hall at Westminster and leading England's first revolution, and imposing a parliamentary system on Henry's rule. Montfort's life touched on nearly every notable event of the thirteenth century, from the holy wars being fought both abroad and closer to home, to the rebellion against the Plantagenets, to his campaigns against Jews in Leicester. The account of his death in battle-swinging his sword to the last-is one of the most graphic ever written of a medieval battlefield. Ambler provides a living portrait of the Middle Ages, brimming with illuminating insights into religion, society, the nobility, warfare, and daily life. In the words of bestselling historian Dan Jones, Ambler is a dazzlingly talented historian and her book on Simon de Montfort marks the arrival of a formidably gifted historian.

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.
