Book Description
The world’s fair of 1915 celebrated both the completion of the Panama Canal and the rebuilding of San Francisco following the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire. The exposition spotlighted the canal and the city as gateways to the Pacific, where the American empire could now expand after its victory in the Spanish-American War. Empire on Display is the first book to examine the Panama-Pacific International Exposition through the lenses of art history and cultural studies, focusing on the event’s expansionist and masculinist symbolism. The exposition displayed evidence—visual, spatial, geographic, cartographic, and ideological—of America’s imperial ambitions and accomplishments. Representations of the Panama Canal play a central role in Moore’s argument, much as they did at the fair itself. Embodying a manly empire of global dimensions, the canal was depicted in statues and a gigantic working replica, as well as on commemorative stamps, maps, murals, postcards, medals, and advertisements. Just as San Francisco’s rebuilding symbolized America’s will to overcome the forces of nature, the Panama Canal represented the triumph of U.S. technology and sheer determination to realize the centuries-old dream of opening a passage between the seas. Extensively illustrated, Moore’s book vividly recalls many other features of the fair, including a seventy-five-foot-tall Uncle Sam. American railroads, in their heyday in 1915, contributed a five-acre scale model of Yellowstone, complete with miniature geysers that erupted at regular intervals. A mini–Grand Canyon featured a village where some twenty Pueblo Indians lived throughout the fair. Moore interprets these visual and cultural artifacts as layered narratives of progress, civilization, social Darwinism, and manliness. Much as the globe had ostensibly shrunk with the completion of the Panama Canal, the Panama-Pacific International Exposition compressed the world and represented it in miniature to celebrate a reinvigorated, imperial, masculine, and technologically advanced nation. As San Francisco bids to host another world’s fair, in 2020, Moore’s rich analytic approach gives readers much to ponder about symbolism, American identity, and contemporary parallels to the past.

Book Description
The disease of kingships and queenships is corrupting the minds of the lords and ladies in the Norophim realm. At the same time, the looming threats of a world war between terrifying dragons, dark elementals, menacing shapeshifters, Grolar beasts, seething demons, and dark angels determined to feed their desire for power are pushing the realm further into darkness. Daniel Of Eagles struggles with his new identity as he attempts to honor his duties as a guardian knight, and the torment of the failed rescue of his mother after she was kidnapped has caused him to wonder whether his bizarre new powers are well-earned gifts or a doomed curse. After losing control on the battlefield, Daniel’s intentions and abilities are in question. Fear consumes everyone around him, leaving him no choice but to seek answers to the source of his powers. He must journey to hellish lands filled with challenges of life, death, and mystical creatures. His only ally is Lady Ariel, a well-respected angel princess, and guardian who is unwavering in helping him through the chaotic turmoil. Still, the mystery remains: which of them is bonded to goodness and the Golonian way, and which is fighting a darkness rising from within? As the Guardian Lords of the Norophim Realm plot and war for control, Daniel and Ariel’s enemies multiply and grow stronger while the fate of humanity lies at stake. All the while, a shapeshifter and her army seek domination, and a demon spawn is unyielding in his plans to release one of the most powerful and harrowing angels who has ever lived...Lucifer... There remains only one question, whose side will you pick, the Gols or the Sods?
