In AD 3150 on Zerian, the home world of the Intergalactic Riders, the past has come back to haunt the peoples of the galaxy. A chain of events is about to unleash an ancient and powerful evil. Every living being in the galaxy faces the very real threat of annihilation unless a young guardian named Altar can find a way to get a message across the time barrier. Can an action of the present truly impact history? As Altar travels ahead of a team of extraordinary heroes to locate the signal that is resonating from the Trimex galaxy, he finds his capsule being pulled into a temporal superstorm that bridges the gap to another galaxy from the past called the Milky Way. Altar is transported back in time to man's earliest beginnings, where his directives and mission becomes entangled. There, the guardian must piece together all the clues and make a choice, as time becomes his greatest enemy. Will Altar decipher the diabolical scheme in time to stop a tyrant's revenge, or will the fate of the past and future galaxies be decided by an ancient and terrifying evil with access to powers beyond his comprehension? Altar and the Intergalactic Riders must race against time to save the galaxy from annihilation. If Zerian falls from the heavens, could Earth be next?

Israel Has Moved
Author: Diana Pinto
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674075668
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
Israel has changed. The country was born in Europe’s shadow, haunted by the Holocaust and inspired by the Enlightenment. But for Israelis today, Europe is hardly relevant, and the country’s ties to the broader West, even to America, are fraying. Where is Israel heading? How do citizens of an increasingly diverse nation see themselves globally and historically? In this revealing portrait of the new Israel, Diana Pinto presents a country simultaneously moving forward and backward, looking outward and turning in on itself. In business, Israel is forging new links with the giants of Asia, and its booming science and technology sectors are helping define the future for the entire world. But in politics and religion, Israelis are increasingly self-absorbed, building literal and metaphorical walls against hostile neighbors and turning to ancient religious precepts for guidance here and now. Pinto captures the new moods and mindsets, the anxieties and hopes of Israelis today in sharply drawn sketches of symbolically charged settings. She takes us on the roads to Jerusalem, to border control at Ben Gurion Airport, to a major Israeli conference in Jerusalem, to a hill overlooking the Dome of the Rock and Temple Mount, to the heart of Israel’s high-tech economy, and to sparkling new malls and restaurants where people of different identities share nothing more than a desire to ignore one another. Vivid and passionate but underpinned by deep analysis, this is a profound and sometimes unsettling account of a country that is no longer where we might think.

The Skin of the Film
Author: Laura U. Marks
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 0822381370
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Memories that evoke the physical awareness of touch, smell, and bodily presence can be vital links to home for people living in diaspora from their culture of origin. How can filmmakers working between cultures use cinema, a visual medium, to transmit that physical sense of place and culture? In The Skin of the Film Laura U. Marks offers an answer, building on the theories of Gilles Deleuze and others to explain how and why intercultural cinema represents embodied experience in a postcolonial, transnational world. Much of intercultural cinema, Marks argues, has its origin in silence, in the gaps left by recorded history. Filmmakers seeking to represent their native cultures have had to develop new forms of cinematic expression. Marks offers a theory of “haptic visuality”—a visuality that functions like the sense of touch by triggering physical memories of smell, touch, and taste—to explain the newfound ways in which intercultural cinema engages the viewer bodily to convey cultural experience and memory. Using close to two hundred examples of intercultural film and video, she shows how the image allows viewers to experience cinema as a physical and multisensory embodiment of culture, not just as a visual representation of experience. Finally, this book offers a guide to many hard-to-find works of independent film and video made by Third World diasporic filmmakers now living in the United States, Great Britain, and Canada. The Skin of the Film draws on phenomenology, postcolonial and feminist theory, anthropology, and cognitive science. It will be essential reading for those interested in film theory, experimental cinema, the experience of diaspora, and the role of the sensuous in culture.

Book Description
One of the world’s top chess journalists in the world explores why, after 1,500 years of existence, chess has never been more relevant than now.

The book is illustrated with approximately 40 photographs and artworks.
