When an unlikely purple object appears suddenly in the sky above the earth, suspicions immediately arise in the human population. People worldwide come to realize that our planet has visitors from another planetalthough whether they are friend or foe is unclear at first. With no warning, cyborg robots descend upon Earth, and it becomes apparent these visitors are not here to make peace. First, they shut down Earths electrical grid and put themselves into power. Next, their real mission begins: the abduction of sixteen-year-old boys, for reasons unknown. Among them are three special young men. Mike, Charlie, and Leo are each different in their own ways, but they are three of the chosen, removed from Earth. With their captors, they travel to a new purple planet. They leave behind the families and friends they love and are forced into a new life of mystery and fear. What do the cyborgs really want, and will humanity survive the disaster of loss? 2012 NexTV Writing Competition Winner. Jason Paulino

This book argues that the performance-based work in the featured case studies contributes to the construction of food democracy where the public takes back decision-making in shaping the food system. It explores how contemporary artists translate scientific research about local and global agricultural issues into life stories that inform and engage their audiences and, in so doing, transform passive food consumers into proactive food citizens. The pairing of performing and farmscapes (complex webs of farmlands and storylines) enables artists to use embodied practices to encourage audiences to imagine a just and sustainable agri-food system and to collaborate on making it a reality. The book arranges the case studies on a trajectory that moves from projects that foreground knowledge acquisition to ones that emphasize social engagement by creating conversations and coalitions between farming and nonfarming communities to a final one that pairs protest art and political activism to achieve legally-binding changes in the agricultural landscape.

Malachy McCourt left behind a childhood of poverty and painful memories of his father and mother in Limerick, Ireland, when he followed his brother, Frank, to America in 1952. In A Monk Swimming, McCourt recounts the decade that followed. With not much to his name other than his sharp wit and knack for storytelling, McCourt was unsure what he would do after arriving in New York City. He worked as a longshoreman on the Brooklyn docks, became the first celebrity bartender in a Manhattan saloon, performed on stage with the I...
