Book Description
The author of The Warhol Economy asks how does celebrity work and why do we care about some people more than others? What is celebrity? Why is it such a dominant force in our culture? And why do we seem preoccupied with it now more than ever? Celebrity—our collective fascination with particular people—is everywhere and takes many forms, from the sports star, notorious Wall Street tycoon, or film icon, to the hometown quarterback, YouTube sensation, or friend who compulsively documents his life on the Internet. We follow with rapt attention all the minute details of stars' lives: their romances, their spending habits, even how they drink their coffee. For those anointed, celebrity can translate into big business and top social status, but why do some attain stardom while millions of others do not? Why are we simply more interested in certain people? Elizabeth Currid-Halkett presents the first rigorous exploration of celebrity, arguing that our desire to "celebrate" some people and not others has profound implications, elevating social statuses, making or breaking careers and companies, and generating astronomical dividends. Tracing the phenomenon from the art world to tabletop gaming conventions to the film industry, Currid-Halkett looks at celebrity as an expression of economics, geography (both real and virtual), and networking strategies. Starstruck brings together extensive statistical research and analysis, along with interviews with top agents and publicists, YouTube executives, major art dealers and gallery directors, Bollywood players, and sports experts. Laying out the enormous impact of the celebrity industry and identifying the patterns by which individuals become stars, Currid-Halkett successfully makes the argument that celebrity is an important social phenomenon and a driving force in the worldwide economy.

Book Description
The heavens are beckoning us, telling us that this wonderful, mind-boggling cosmic display is indeed the work of the creator. And now, using rovers and satellites, we're venturing further out into the vastness of space than ever before. In Star Struck, Christian astronomer David Bradstreet and writer Steve Rabey take readers on a guided tour of the biggest story ever, offering both intriguing science lessons and powerful spiritual insights: As we discover more about cosmos, we understand more about the character of our Creator; The more we see the vastness and complexity of the universe, the more we experience awe, wonder, praise, gratitude and humility; Hundreds of Christian astronomers blaze the way into deep exploration of the universe today, discovering and proving God’s work in the heavens. Combining a respect and admiration for mainstream astronomy with a zeal for uncovering new details about God’s celestial handiwork at its core, this book about stars, planets, asteroids, nebulae, comets, dark matter, and the other fingerprints of God will tell you that all of the worlds around you are God’s and this world is his home for you.

Book Description
Neith, a Sicarii Knight, is one of a specially evolved race bound to the will of The Hierarch - an omnipotent wise man who dictates the workings of the universe. His newest assignment is to assassinate a Scavenger, who The Hierarch has determined will bring about the destruction of the planet Taylor. This Scavenger, a downtrodden orphan boy stuck in the service of a cruel trade magnate, has no knowledge of his providence, but will, if unfettered, spiral into a state from which he can never recover, sealing the fate of millions. The second published novel from author Tony Del Degan is his first foray into the wide world of science-fiction; it is endearing, disturbing, and entirely unique, providing a possible glimpse into the future of our human race: a violent, disturbing vestige. Praise for Tony Del Degan: "Wow... this book is worth the read... the author has breathed some serious light, shadow and colour into these characters. Loads of themes are tightly interwoven throughout the story..." - Goodreads review for The Plight of Steel "Setting up high standards for young adult authors to come. Good things coming for you in the future, Tony Del Degan, keep at it." - Goodreads review for The Plight of Steel

Book Description
The short stories and novellas are among my earliest science fiction works. Writing in Alaska in 1987 I made a couple of trips to Europe while enrolled in an English writing course at the University of Alaska at Juneau. Most of these stories were written at or at least mention Wrangell- a small town 150 miles to the south of the state capitol at Juneau. 140,000 words.

Book Description
When the impossibly hot new quarterback ignores all the pretty cheerleaders competing for his attention to come over and sit at YOUR lunch table… what do you do? I’ve always been the class dork—shy, bookish, not particularly pretty and definitely not popular. In other words, I’ve never been anybody important. Orphaned twice as a toddler, I’m not even sure who I am, other than a burden to my super-strict adoptive “aunt.” But then the gorgeous new quarterback, Rigel, arrives at Jewel High and turns his back on all the popular girls vying for his attention to seek out ordinary me—of all people! I’m over the moon, of course, but the first time Rigel touches me, sparks fly—literally! Then weird things start happening. Suddenly, I no longer need my thick glasses. My complexion improves, too. When I demand to know what’s going on, the answer both thrills and terrifies me. Not only is Rigel my bonded soulmate, apparently I’m not such a nobody after all! But my unexpected status comes with huge risks that threaten both my life and our newfound love. Book 1 of an electrifying young adult science fantasy romance series from a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, where teen romance blends with science fiction to open a whole new world of action, adventure and discovery! This series is perfect for fans of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series and Jennifer L. Armentrout’s Lux series, with its themes of forbidden romance, fated mates, opposites attract, and overcoming dangerous obstacles to achieve a happy ending.
