Book excerpt: Audisee® eBooks with Audio combine professional narration and sentence highlighting for an engaging read aloud experience! A visually stunning look at innovative and eye-popping measures used to protect ships during World War I. During World War I, British and American ships were painted with bold colors and crazy patterns from bow to stern. Why would anyone put such eye-catching designs on ships? Desperate to protect ships from German torpedo attacks, British lieutenant-commander Norman Wilkinson proposed what became known as dazzle. These stunning patterns and colors were meant to confuse the enemy about a ship's speed and direction. By the end of the war, more than four thousand ships had been painted with these mesmerizing designs. Author Chris Barton and illustrator Victo Ngai vividly bring to life this little-known story of how the unlikely and the improbable became just plain dazzling. "[A] conversational, compelling, and visually arresting story . . ."—starred, Publishers Weekly "Barton's lively text is matched by Ngai's engrossing artwork, which employs dazzle techniques throughout her inventive spreads."—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books New York Public Library Best Books for Kids Children's Book Committee at Bank Street College Best Children's Book of the Year

Book excerpt: “Brilliant . . . Here is the conflict of real ideas; of real personalities; here is a work of intellectual imagination and great charity. The Poorhouse Fair is a work of art.”—The New York Times Book Review The hero of John Updike’s first novel, published when the author was twenty-six, is ninety-four-year-old John Hook, a dying man who yet refuses to be dominated. His world is a poorhouse—a county home for the aged and infirm—overseen by Stephen Conner, a righteous young man who considers it his duty to know what is best for others. The action of the novel unfolds over a single summer’s day, the day of the poorhouse’s annual fair, a day of escalating tensions between Conner and the rebellious Hook. Its climax is a contest between progress and tradition, benevolence and pride, reason and faith. Praise for The Poorhouse Fair “A first novel of rare precision and real merit . . . a rich poorhouse indeed.”—Newsweek “Turning on a narrow plot of ground, it achieves the rarity of bounded, native truth, and comes forth as microcosm.”—Commonweal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions to this book explore a phenomenon that appears to be a contradiction in itself – we, the users of computers, can be tracked in digital space for all eternity. Although, on the one hand, one wants to be noticed and noticeable, on the other hand one does not necessarily want to be recognized at the first instance, being prey to an unfathomable public, or – even less so – to lose face. The book documents artistic and other strategies that point out options for appearing in the infinite book of faces whilst nevertheless avoiding being included in any records. The desire not to become a mere object of facial sell-out does not just remain an aesthetic endeavor. The contributions also contain combative and sarcastic statements against a digital dynamic that has already penetrated our everyday lives.

Book excerpt: CRYONICS - The frigid controversy surrounding the Ted Williams affair sparked national interest in the science, but there were many philosophical aspects that were never even considered. The human soul...Does it actually exist? If it does and departs the body when a person dies, as most religions contend, will it return upon rejuvenation? Encore explores the most alarming scenario of all, what if it doesn´t? What if "something else" takes its place? Time is running out for an elite cartel of five prestigious American scientists working on a Top-Secret Cryonic project. To advance their efforts, a young scientist (Eddie Grisham) and his associate (Maggie Bennett) are invited to participate in the balance of the clandestine project. The cartel´s sole objective: to rejuvenate one of the most prominent icons of the twentieth century, a man secretly frozen down in 1966. In spite of her unbridled commitment to the project, Maggie clings to her spiritual convictions and is compelled to explore the philosophical prospects that are inherently linked. Armed with a well-supported theory, she coaxes her agnostic companion into the scientific realm of theological tenet. Modern technology fused with an esoteric interpretation of biblical prophecy serves to justify the incredulous perspective and sets the stage for an enigmatic revelation. If Maggie´s theory was correct, the monumental feat could provide the fabled Antichrist with a socially acceptable means of achieving incarnation. As conjectured, the magnificent achievement transcends a serendipitous portal which unknowingly permits Satan himself to fill the spiritual void. But it´s the secret identity of their iconic patient that provides ENCORE with its arcane visionary twist. The scientists had no way of knowing that their experiment would inadvertently catapult the world into the prophetic ´Last Days´.
