Erik Parker
The first retrospective look at the irreverent and boisterous artwork of painter Erik Parker. With deep roots in alternative comics, illustration, and graffiti, internationally acclaimed artist Erik Parker’s work bridges underground culture and the pop-surrealism movement. Erik Parker: Colorful Resistance presents his intense compositions, originating from word clusters, viscera-like forms, and animated figurines. Parker’s work aggressively takes on the issues of the day through an antiauthoritarian approach to established ideologies. "[Parker’s] unpredictable forms are contained by, but also disrupt, relatively geometric framing devices whose radiating curves and bands of color bring to mind proscenium arches or movie marquees. In nearly every painting we seem to be witnessing the emergence of some extravagant freak of nature or perhaps consciousness—a hallucination of the first order." —Roberta Smith, New York Times
Ghost Song
A fire engulfs the stage. Dead Dogs Howl guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter, Erik Devon survives, but scarred, his voice destroyed, his memory in shards. Presumed dead, he is blamed for the deaths of band members and crew. Forced into hiding, a ghost of his former self, Devon watches other musicians perform at his club. Then, one day, he hears her voice. Cara Friday pays homage to her dead idol by emulating Devon's style and performing his music. Discovered by the manager of Dead Dogs Howl, Cara is groomed to keep Devon's career alive, singing only his songs. How long will Devon's ghost haunt her? How long can she be his voice without losing her own? But someone is watching over Cara Friday's career. Someone in the shadows waits and listens. GHOST SONG adapts the tragic story of the Phantom of the Opera and brings it into the world of contemporary rock.
Straight from the Source
Kim Osorio had a front-row seat for the biggest beefs, battles, and blow-ups in hip-hop. As the first female editor-in-chief of The Source, she had come up. From her corner office, Kim got the goods on hip-hop's hottest names: Jay-Z, Nas, 50 Cent, Lil' Kim. She developed close -- sometimes intimate -- relationships with the artists she exposed to the public. But The Source couldn't hide its own dirty laundry for long. Behind the scenes, the magazine's volatile owners puppeteered every issue -- even coveted honors like the 5-mic album rating and the Power 30 list of industry heavy-hitters. Then The Source declared war on Eminem and began the notorious assault that would send the magazine into swift decline. In a culture dominated by men, Kim rose to the top, and after years in the magazine's pressure cooker, she hit "send" on a two-sentence e-mail that would thrust her from the sidelines of the scandalous world she reported on to the center of one of the most explosive scandals in hip-hop history. Straight From the Source is the Book of Kim, the tell-all memoir only she could write about her influential years at the Bible of Hip-Hop.
The Miracle Twins
A Little Faith And Hope Go A Long Way Foreign correspondent Lucy Devon never pictured herself with kids, but when she comes across conjoined twins—baby girls—who need her help, she can't say no. The twins need the kind of medical expertise few doctors can provide, and Lucy's ex-fiance, Nick Hammond, is one of the best. The problem is, Lucy and Nick didn't exactly part on good terms—she walked out on him moments before their wedding, to chase "the story of a lifetime." Lucy Devon is the last person surgeon Nick Hammond expects to see on his doorstep. When she tells him her reason for being there, he knows he has to do everything he can for the girls—but the biggest complication may be his own heart. Lucy has run away from him once, and Nick feels sure that nothing short of a miracle will keep her from doing it again….

Academic Writing for Geographers

This book is readily accessible to senior undergraduate and graduate students and early-career faculty who may feel intimidated by the process of writing. This volume is not strictly a ‘how-to’ or ‘step-by-step’ manual for writing an article or book; rather, through the use of real, concrete ...

Summary of Maria Brito's How Creativity Rules the World
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I thought about going back to Venezuela, as I had done many times before, to see my paternal grandparents and feel the humidity of the streets, and to be back in my childhood home in El Hatillo, a working-class neighborhood on the slopes of Mount Parque. -> I had been working nonstop since the start of the pandemic, traveling from one city to the next, and I felt nostalgic for Caracas, the city I had grown up in and left behind fifteen years earlier. #2 I couldn’t believe it when I found out that my grandfather had been kidnapped, and I was shocked to see him alive in a video clip of the event. #3 My grandfather was a brilliant, creative, and inquisitive man who had many interests and abilities, which allowed him to be creative and original in his ideas and their execution. He was kidnapped by Marxist guerrilla forces in Venezuela in 1971. #4 My grandfather was a creative and inquisitive man who had many interests and abilities, which allowed him to be creative and original in his ideas and their execution.
