Book Description
Dan Binchy's first two novels were delightful stories of small town Ireland and filled with a range of eccentric and hilarious characters. Both books received warm praise--The Washington Post called The Neon Madonna "terrifically funny and a hilarious read." Booklist called The Last Resort "an endearing and entertaining combination of warmth and wit." The tiny village of Trabane is tucked far away in the west of Ireland. A coastal resort on the Atlantic Ocean, the rugged strip of land that separates it from the beach boasts a golf course designed more by nature than by man. On 'links' like this golf is much more than just a game to those that play it. It is a battlefield where scores are settled and every man and woman is equal. Anything further from the wealth and luxury of an exclusive country club would be hard to imagine. Yet to young Larry Lynch, nicknamed LOOPY, golf opens up new horizons and the chance of a better life. The story of Loopy about much more than golf, it is the struggle of good versus evil, played out against a majestic backdrop of towering sand dunes, emerald green fairways and Atlantic hailstorms that prick the face like steel knitting needles. Loopy is pitted against snobbery, big business and ruthless financiers in a golf match that is a parable of life itself. Helped only by an eccentric caddy and a gaggle of noisy supporters, he takes on some of the world's best amateur golfers in a titanic struggle that will warm the heart of readers everywhere. Little does he know that he is playing for a prize far, far greater than a silver trophy. Through it all, Binchy imbues the work with a wonderful feel of small town Ireland and, of course, the Irish spirit.

Book Description
A taster of 8 random pages out of this book can be found under this link: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1UaGT2RGLvJUkDtt2JW1Dv2yeKIpsmaf_gfD8S2a6amk/edit?usp=sharing Explicit content: this book does not contain any sexual explicit content. It does contain 4 images with (cartoonish) violence: one image of Idono's avatar girlfriend being pushed against a moving car, one image of (a copy of) a female hacker being torn apart by anti-hack bots, and two images of the adult version of Idono getting a lower leg chopped off (he gets a wooden leg after that), see these 4 images here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TZiHII4RtX5Di8WgApyfCwrv9kdCJrINLS3wxhbQz50/edit?usp=sharing Inspired by Little Nemo in Slumberland, The Little Prince, The Red Balloon, and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, I created the graphic novel ‘Idono in Loopy Land’ with a cinematic flow of illustrations about a lonely avatar-boy looking for friends inside a virtual world created by The Leader. This 115 page book (excl. copyright page) is aimed at the 13 - 29 yrs age group. Short synopsis: Theme: absurdity of (virtual) events mirror the unpredictability of life. Moral: be aware of the difference between fact and fake. Plot: The Leader (Mark Zuckerberg with a Pinnochio nose) controls his user profile harvesting platform called Loopy Land. After being warned about an impending hack of his platform, he deploys two platform officers to find the hackers. An avatar is selected by the hackers to play a game with. They ask him what his name is, and he answers “I don’t know”, which they hear as Idono. The platform moves Idono deep into Loopy Land, where he is constantly looking for friends, and -among other things- narrowly escapes a NFT certified digital art collection, finds an avatar girlfriend who gets killed by a speeding emoji, is sucked up by the spiral of Fake, and has his time-line shortened which turns him instantly into an adult. Eventually, the hackers are caught, Idono is booted off-line, and is employed to help teach the Loopies how to see fact from fake. P.S. At one point in the book Idono runs through a virtual gallery, this edition contains an expanded (21 pages in total) version of this virtual gallery, showcasing art by Ucci (Luchini) and Tor Ammo.

Loopy Logic Problems and Other Puzzles
Author: Ivan Moscovich
Publisher: Sterling Publishing Company, Inc.
ISBN: 9781402727443
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Calculate velocity; explain the Maltese cross mechanism that's the basis of the motion picture projector; and work out the ways different pendulums (including Foucault's famous version) swing. Every attractive page in master Ivan Moscovich's eleventh collection of brain-busters offers a tricky puzzle pleasure. Sixteen tiles show either a crowned frog or a crown prince: distribute them randomly on a game board, face down, and then see if you can come up with a configuration that will allow you to flip them so that all frogs or all princes will turn up. Discern the logic of a number pattern in a partially filled-out grid and discover the missing numerals. From gnomic expansions to infinity and limit, these dilemmas demand a smart solver.
