Book excerpt: Che Elias contrasts two startling stories, complete with elliptical narrative leaps and multiple character studies. Verging on the the themes of the occult, idyllic first love, dreams, the existentialist question and the segmentation of the ideals of the key views of the modern human condition, Rockets Construe Vala finalizes the precocious whims which protrude out of psychological entanglement.

Book excerpt: A-way with it! Simply put, that's what this is all about. The authors in this volume of The Journal of Experimental Fiction have demonstrated time and again that they have a way with words. Literature is ultimately driven by language, and these folks understand how to use language better than most. They prod it, ply it, tweak it, fry it, sling it, smash it, caress it, destroy it, uphold it, defend it, laugh at it, play with it, split it, spit on it, cajole it, stir it, freeze it, melt it, stomp on it, and hold it up for all to see as if it were the most precious thing in the entire world. Maybe it is.

Book excerpt: Fiction. Art. Illustrated by Michael Hafftka. THE TERROR OF LOCH NESS is a spiritual resolution, born in the form of a stream-of-consciousness novel derived from an extreme experience of rape, psychic devastation and violence. Che Elias's sentences can often be interpreted in several ways, while the gut-wrenching story and the essence remain specific. His "hallucinatory style approaches the quality of surrealist poetry; but nonetheless there remains a strong sense of character, and of narrative, however ruptured"-Michael S. Begnal.

Illustrated by Michael Hafftka. WEST VIRGINIA is the second collaboration between novelist Che Elias and illustrator Michael Hafftka. (The first, the critically well-received underground novel THE TERROR OF LOCH NESS, is also available from SPD.) WEST VIRGINIA is a nihilistic vision of betrayal and desperation set in the innermost reaches of the narrator's mind. "Betrayal destroyed all trust, all security, and one cannot go forwards or backwards. All is pain and darkness in that space. The room is the person, is the writer, is the artist, and then it is the reader. Deception and rape are the violations of trust that produce the pain in the room in which the author and the artist find themselves. One suffers alone and the reader that picks up this book is a witness to the pain of betrayal that is otherwise indefinable"--Michael Hafftka. Che Elias was born in 1980 in Glendale, West Virginia. He spent his formative years in the surrounding Ohio River Valley area, then relocated to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he is currently living. He is the author of the novels Rockets Construe Vala, Juliet... Remember, The Pagan Ellipsis, The Abacus, and the poetry collections A Lesser Summer: Early Poems, Meddles into Preclusion, Wheeling (Poems and Stories), and Death Poems. Michael Hafftka was born in NYC in 1953. His books Michael Hafftka - Selected Drawings, 1982, and Art of Experience - Experience of Art, 1981, were published by Guignol Books, Tivoli, NY. CONSCIOUS/UNCONSCIOUS, a collection of stories, is published by Six Gallery Press and available from SPD. Hafftka has had one-person shows in New York City since 1982 with Art Galaxy, Rosa Esman Gallery, DiLaurenti Gallery, Mary Ryan Gallery and Aberbach Fine Art. His work has been shown in the US and abroad in numerous museums. Hafftka's work is in the permanent collections of major museums including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, MOMA NY, The National Gallery, Brooklyn Museum, San Francisco MOMA, The Carnegie Museum of Art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pragmatics is the study of human communication: the choices speakers make to express their intended meaning and the kinds of inferences that hearers draw from an utterance in the context of its use. This Handbook surveys pragmatics from different perspectives, presenting the main theories in pragmatic research, incorporating seminal research as well as cutting-edge solutions. It addresses questions of rational and empirical research methods, what counts as an adequate and successful pragmatic theory, and how to go about answering problems raised in pragmatic theory. In the fast-developing field of pragmatics, this Handbook fills the gap in the market for a one-stop resource to the wide scope of today's research and the intricacy of the many theoretical debates. It is an authoritative guide for graduate students and researchers with its focus on the areas and theories that will mark progress in pragmatic research in the future.

This book was released on 2016-09-24 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1989, South Africa made the momentous decision to abandon its nuclear weapons, making it the first and still the only country that has produced nuclear weapons and given them up. Over thirty years, the apartheid regime had created a remarkably sophisticated capability to build nuclear weapons-both the nuclear warhead and advanced military systems to deliver them. The program was born in secret and remained so until its end. The government initially sought to dismantle it in secret. It hoped to avoid any negative international consequences of possessing nuclear weapons. The apartheid government's strategy did not work, because too many intelligence agencies knew about South Africa's nuclear weapons. Faced with intense pressure, South Africa's President F.W. de Klerk reversed course and adopted a policy of transparency in 1993. However, he decided to hide many of its aspects. Nonetheless, most of the remaining secrets emerged over the ensuing 25 years. Revisiting South Africa's Nuclear Weapons Program draws on previously secret information to provide the first comprehensive, technically-oriented look at South Africa's nuclear weapons program; how it grew, evolved, and ended. It also finds lessons for today's nuclear proliferation cases.

This book was released on 1996-01-22 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key to opening the use of space to private enterprise and to broader public uses lies in reducing the cost of the transportation to space. More routine, affordable access to space will entail aircraft-like quick turnaround and reliable operations. Currently, the space Shuttle is the only reusable launch vehicle, and even parts of it are expendable while other parts require frequent and extensive refurbishment. NASA's highest priority new activity, the Reusable Launch Vehicle program, is directed toward developing technologies to enable a new generation of space launchers, perhaps but not necessarily with single stage to orbit capability. This book assesses whether the technology development, test and analysis programs in propulsion and materials-related technologies are properly constituted to provide the information required to support a December 1996 decision to build the X-33, a technology demonstrator vehicle; and suggest, as appropriate, necessary changes in these programs to ensure that they will support vehicle feasibility goals.
