Dramatica: Inside the Clockwork
From the introduction:While much has been written about the Dramatica Theory and Model of Story Structure, the focus has been primarily on how it works and how to apply it. Yet every once and a while, someone asks what is to me a much more interesting question: Why does it work? And even more rarely, someone of a more philosophical bent will ask and even more penetrating question: What does it mean?In answer to these last two queries, I've gathered together the very best essays and articles I've written over the last quarter century about the inner workings of Dramatica - they whys and wherefores of its structure and function.This book delves deeply into the reasoning behind the design and construction of the model, the underpinnings of theory beneath the level of narrative, and provides a view of the elegance an grandeur of Dramatica from a perspective seldom seen: from within the model itself.We begin our journey by entering the model through its principal gateway, the quad, which leads us deeper and deeper into secret passages and wormholes as we explore a new point of view from which to appreciate Dramatica: inside the clockwork. --Melanie Anne Phillips

Londonistan
The suicide bombings carried out in London in 2005 by British Muslims revealed an enormous fifth column of Islamist terrorists and their sympathizers. Under the noses of British intelligence, London has become the European hub for the promotion, recruitment and financing of Islamic terror and extremism - so much so that it has been mockingly dubbed Londonistan. In this ground-breaking book Melanie Phillips pieces together the story of how Londonistan developed as a result of the collapse of traditional English identity and accommodation of a particularly virulent form of multiculturalism. Londonistan has become a country within the country and not only threatens Britain but its special relationship with the U.S. as well.
