Book Description
Through exquisite drawings and storytelling, Julia Jacquette's graphic memoir provides a distinctive account of her childhood in Manhattan in the 1960s and 1970s. Inspired by the adventure playgrounds from her youth growing up in New York City, the painter Julia Jacquette explores the brightly colored structures of the play spaces and the surrounding landscape of the city in Playground of My Mind. With compelling illustrations and personal narrative, this book features adventure playgrounds created by architects Richard Dattner, M. Paul Friedberg, the partnership Ross Ryan Jacquette in New York City, and Aldo van Eyck in Amsterdam. These structures encouraged constructive, imaginative play and gave renewed life to utopian notions of American and European modernist architecture. Playground of My Mind reflects upon the period of the 1960s and 1970s which was a tumultuous time of social change and activism in New York City and throughout the United States. While considering the conflicted emotions that envelop idealized aspects of the past, this unique book captures the nostalgia for a bygone era of New York life in vivid detail. Published in association with the Wellin Museum of Art at Hamilton College in association with the exhibition, Julia Jacquette: Unrequited and Acts of Play.

Book Description
Thirteen-year-old Butterball doesn't have much going for him. He's teased mercilessly about his weight. He hates the Long Island suburb his mom moved them to and wishes he still lived with his dad in the city. And now he's stuck talking to a totally out-of-touch therapist named Liz. Liz tries to uncover what happened that day on the playground - a day that landed one kid in the hospital and Butterball in detention. Butterball refuses to let her in on the truth, and while he evades her questions, he takes readers on a journey through the moments that made him into the playground bully he is today. This devastating yet ultimately redemptive story is told in voice-driven prose and accented with drawings and photographs, making it a natural successor to The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. Loosely inspired by 50 Cent's own adolescence, and written with his fourteen-year-old son in mind, Playground is sure to captivate wide attention - and spark intense discussion.

Book Description
In his final work, a visionary game designer reveals how a surprising range of play-based experiences can unlock our imagination and help us capture the power of fun and delight. Bernard De Koven (1941–2018) was a pioneering designer of games and theorist of fun. He studied games long before the field of game studies existed. For De Koven, games could not be reduced to artifacts and rules; they were about a sense of transcendent fun. This book, his last, is about the imagination: the imagination as a playground, a possibility space, and a gateway to wonder. The Infinite Playground extends a play-centered invitation to experience the power and delight unlocked by imagination. It offers a curriculum for playful learning. De Koven guides the readers through a series of observations and techniques, interspersed with games. He begins with the fundamentals of play, and proceeds through the private imagination, the shared imagination, and imagining the world—observing, “the things we imagine can become the world.” Along the way, he reminisces about playing ping-pong with basketball great Bill Russell; begins the instructions for a game called Reception Line with “Mill around”; and introduces blathering games—Blather, Group Blather, Singing Blather, and The Blather Chorale—that allow the player's consciousness to meander freely. Delivered during the last months of his life, The Infinite Playground has been painstakingly cowritten with Holly Gramazio, who worked together with coeditors Celia Pearce and Eric Zimmerman to complete the project as Bernie De Koven's illness made it impossible for him to continue writing. Other prominent game scholars and designers influenced by De Koven, including Katie Salen Tekinbaş, Jesper Juul, Frank Lantz, and members of Bernie's own family, contribute short interstitial essays.

Book Description
Born of the Sun begins with the awakening of Miatron, High Priest of Upper and Lower Egypt, to his divine mission. He is disheartened by the fact he is nearing the completion of his life with only banal repetitious spiritual ritual to show for his many years of existence. Suddenly he hears a voice telling him the bloodline of the Pharaohs has been corrupted by interbreeding and instructing him to seek a woman of pure blood to be the new queen to the aging Amunhotep III. He and three young apprentices set out in secret to search for this maiden. They must each find her through their own intuition as to her identity, for her protection is a secret even to her own family. Found in a small village near the Caspian Sea, young Tyi, future Queen of Egypt, returns with them and is placed under the guardianship of the temples until she becomes of age. Once she begins her flow she is married to the Pharaoh. Her winning personality and uncanny wisdom soon make her the favorite wife and advisor to Amunhotep III. She soon becomes pregnant with Akhenaton. Opposing her position are another son of the Pharaoh and some of the Amun priests. They plot to prevent the birth of ascension to the throne through a number of maneuvers. Miatron and Tyi speak consistently to the child in the womb to give it precognition upon its birth. Born Amunhotep IV, the child is sheltered by mother and High Priest to prevent his corruption by the Amun priests. Finally, forced to enter his training for succession to the throne, the young prince ignores most of the temple teachings in favor of those of Tyi and Miatron. Immediately upon his father's death he disappears, called to training by the ancient masters hidden away in caves near the Nile halfway between Thebes and Memphis. Inside these caves are secret Temples of Light, there since the days of the lost continent of Atlantis. During his absence a number of ploys are attempted by his half-brother, Akenset, son of one of the lesser wives and other discontented officials to defer his coronation in Akenset's favor. The popular Tyi and Miatron solely prevent this, now on his deathbed. Upon his return Amunhotep IV is crowned under his new name, Akhenaton. For a time, Akhenaton attempts to bring about a gradual movement away from the corrupt Amun priesthood to the one God, Aton, and Source of All Creation from the Central Sun. This was not an original idea, as he was taught in the Temples of Light, but a return to Source which had been diluted by the myriad of gods that filled the Amun temples of Egypt and Babylon. Resistance to change was entrenched by a priesthood enriched by a public only too willing to pay for their supplications to the angry gods instilled by irreverent predecessors to maintain control. Akhenaton finally felt he was left with no alternative but to destroy the symbols of the lesser gods in the temples. This further alienated him from the priests and many government officials. He lost the loyalty of the army, foreign minister, and minister of affairs by his pacifist beliefs, refusing to support military ventures or to increase requested taxes to support them. Tyi was a unifying force, strong in support of her son, but flexible in negotiation. Both she and her son were popular with the masses. His half-brother, Akenset, now High Priest of Upper and Lower Egypt was displeasing to all. Always in the front of Akhenaton's mind was the vision of a City of Light to be located near the Temple of Light in the caves. Finally, left with no choice but to remove his government from the corruption of Thebes, he began the construction of the city, Akhetaton. His loyal and adept mother remained in Thebes to outmaneuver the government officials and priests left behind. His beautiful and charming queen, Nefretiti, remained to entertain the
