Not Her Hero
“They’ve kidnapped the governor!” Until five minutes ago, Marc Beader was an out-of-work ex-military man trying to figure out how to adjust to civilian life while also protecting his hapless younger brother from the upstart radical group trying to recruit him. To be honest, Marc wasn’t doing a very good job at any of it. As if his life needed one more complication, suddenly, the governor of the state of Michigan is sitting in his living room, with zip ties around her wrists and a scowl on her pretty face. That radical group managed to kidnap the governor—and dropped her on Marc’s doorstep. He doesn’t want anything to do with all this crazy. He’s proven too many times that he’s nobody’s hero. Until he hears about the group’s plans for the unfortunate politician. Suddenly, they’re both running for their lives, through the rugged countryside to the state capital. As it turns out, it’s hard as hell to hide when the person you’re protecting is a public figure. But Marc will be damned if he lets those nutjobs get to her. Maybe he could be a hero after all. Author’s note: This is a low-heat, high action thriller with a touch of romance.
The Sacred Heritage
The contributors to this volume describe the many facets shamanism and depth psychology have in common: animal symbolism; recognition of the reality of the collective unconscious; and healing rituals that put therapist and patient in touch with transpersonal powers. By reintroducing the core of shamanism in contemporary form, these essays shape a powerful means of healing that combines the direct contact with the inner psyche one finds in shamanism with the self-reflection and critical awareness of modern consciousness. The contributors' draw from experiences both inside and outside the consulting room, and with cultures that include the Lakota Sioux, and those of the Peruvian Andes and the Hawaiian Islands. The focus is on those aspects of shamanism most useful and relevant to the modern practice of depth psychology. These explorations bring the young practice of analytical psychology into perspective as part of a much more ancient heritage of shamanistic healing.
The Hunter Elite
At the end of the nineteenth century, Theodore Roosevelt, T. S. Van Dyke, and other elite men began describing their big-game hunting as “manly sport with the rifle.” They also began writing about their experiences, publishing hundreds of narratives of hunting and adventure in the popular press (and creating a new literary genre in the process). But why did so many of these big-game hunters publish? What was writing actually doing for them, and what did it do for readers? In exploring these questions, The Hunter Elite reveals new connections among hunting narratives, publishing, and the American conservation movement. Beginning in the 1880s these prolific hunter-writers told readers that...
Designing for Emerging Technologies
The recent digital and mobile revolutions are a minor blip compared to the next wave of technological change, as everything from robot swarms to skin-top embeddable computers and bio printable organs start appearing in coming years. In this collection of inspiring essays, designers, engineers, and researchers discuss their approaches to experience design for groundbreaking technologies. Design not only provides the framework for how technology works and how it’s used, but also places it in a broader context that includes the total ecosystem with which it interacts and the possibility of unintended consequences. If you’re a UX designer or engineer open to complexity and dissonant ideas, t...
