Book Description
Racism, Prejudice, and the struggle for civil rights in the future. Decades after the Holocaust, triggered by an accidental release of experimental germ warfare agents, the Perfect States of America is controlled by the National Apartheid Party. Since the ethnically-tailored biological agents eliminated most of the Caucasian population, the Black survivors have crafted a new society in America. However, their vision of society does not include the outlying Hispanic, Asian, and Native minorities that struggle to survive on the edge of this perfect society in isolated clans. Although the different clans seldom interact with each other, many share a hope for redemption according to an ancient prophecy. The visitor comes from afar to defeat the undefeated to lead his people to freedom with great magic, the warrior sacrifices himself for those not his own emissary to the future leader of clans the Supreme May'r. A stranger from another time instigates a series of events that threatens the stability of two societies. Daniel William's future journey-from visitor to provider, to clan warrior, to leader of clans-seems to fulfill an ancient prophecy, but his actions threaten the stability of both societies. Is it his destiny to share a common fate of those who challenge society's safety with radical ideas? When threatened with upheaval, society's leaders have always chosen to sacrifice one individual to protect the greater whole.

Time Slips
Author: Jaclyn Pryor
Publisher: Northwestern University Press
ISBN: 0810135329
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
This bold book investigates how performance can transform the way people perceive trauma and memory, time and history. Jaclyn I. Pryor introduces the concept of "time slips," moments in which past, present, and future coincide, moments that challenge American narratives of racial and sexual citizenship. Framing performance as a site of resistance, Pryor analyzes their own work and that of four other queer artists—Ann Carlson, Mary Ellen Strom, Peggy Shaw, and Lisa Kron—between 2001 and 2016. Pryor illuminates how each artist deploys performance as a tool to render history visible, trauma recognizable, and transformation possible by laying bare the histories and ongoing systems of violence woven deep into our society. Pryor also includes a case study that examines the challenges of teaching queer time and queer performance within the academy in what Pryor calls a post-9/11 “homeland” security state. Masterfully synthesizing a wealth of research and experiences, Time Slips will interest scholars and readers in the fields of theater and performance studies, queer studies, and American studies.

Now and Then We Time Travel
Author: Fraser A. Sherman
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786496797
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
More than 400 films and 150 television series have featured time travel--stories of rewriting history, lovers separated by centuries, journeys to the past or the (often dystopian) future. This book examines some of the roles time travel plays on screen in science fiction and fantasy. Plot synopses and credits are listed for films and TV series from England, Canada, the UK and Japan, as well as for TV and films from elsewhere in the world. Tropes and plot elements are highlighted. The author discusses philosophical questions about time travel, such as the logic of timelines, causality (what's to keep time-travelers from jumping back and correcting every mistake?) and morality (if you correct a mistake, are you still guilty of it?).

Getting Started in Time Management
Author: Prakash V. Rao
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN:
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
The essence of time management is beautifully captured by Gandhi's wisdom. As we venture into the world of time management, it's crucial to realize that every action taken today paves the way for a better tomorrow. Every journey has its twists and turns, its stretches of clarity, and its patches of obscurity. The journey of time management is no different. If we picture life as a path we tread, then without a semblance of planning, we wander in the twilight. Each step is hesitant, revealing only the next immediate space. The way forward remains shrouded in uncertainty. Now, embrace the concept of planning. It acts as the lamp, the beacon that illuminates segments of this path, allowing for a walk with confidence and purpose. This illumination is precisely what "Getting Started in Time Management" strives to provide. By shedding light on how to use our daily allotment of 24 hours, it guides us away from the pitfalls of wasted moments and towards the rewards of well-spent time.

Project Management by ICB4 - IPMA
Author: Bert Hedeman
Publisher: Van Haren
ISBN: 9401810931
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 569
Book Description
IPMA observes an increasing number and importance of projects in business, public and people’s lives, also known as ‘projectification’. In the world of globalisation, an increasing number of organisations are working project-based to cope with the challenges of modern times. Especially now, society is on the brink of such significant changes as global warming and artificial intelligence. Projects drive the development of new products and services, expansions, new capabilities, implementation of new strategies and new generations of infrastructure, and major maintenance and upgrade of existing facilities and infrastructure. This book provides a knowledge base for developing individual competencies for managing projects as described in the IPMA Individual Competence Baseline version 4, which encompasses: - Perspective competencies - People competencies - Practice competencies As projects become increasingly important, we must continue to realise that projects begin and end with people and that their competent performance within the broader context of the environment is at the heart of any successful project. In this book, theories and practices for all ICB4 competencies are described. They are logically sequenced, explained and enriched with practical approaches, which can be learned and applied in the daily project management practice. As such, it aligns entirely with IPMA's vision: to strengthen competence across society to enable a world in which all projects succeed. This book also supports obtaining an IPMA certificate as proof of your competence in projects.
