Triple bill of zombie films. 'Zombie Apocalypse' (2011) is a
made-for-TV horror starring Ving Rhames in which a group of human
survivors of a zombie outbreak set out to make it to an uninfected
island. Ramona (Taryn Manning), Billy (Eddie Steeples) and Kevin
(Gerald Webb) are almost killed when they head out to search for
food. Fortunately for them, they meet a tough group that includes
Henry (Rhames) and Cassie (Lesley-Ann Brandt), who take on the
zombies with weapons as diverse as a sledgehammer and a samurai
sword. 'Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies' (2012) is a tongue-in-cheek
zombie horror in which Abraham Lincoln is distracted from his
composition of the Gettysburg Address by a more pressing concern -
an outbreak of the undead. Lincoln (Bill Oberst Jr.) leads a team
of Secret Service agents to the area to try and contain the
disaster. There is a suggestion that Lincoln may have some
experience of dealing with zombies from his past and he takes under
his wing a youngster by the name of Teddy Roosevelt (Canon
Kuipers), who may have a role of his own to play in the American
story. 'The Dead' (2010) is a zombie horror set in West Africa.
Robert Freeman stars as Lieutenant Brian Murphy, a military
engineer who finds himself stranded in the wilderness of Burkina
Faso after a zombie outbreak lays waste to civilisation. Eventually
he teams up with Sergeant Daniel Dembele (Prince David Oseia), a
local soldier who has gone AWOL from the army to search for his
missing son.

Did you know that there are more than 60 active volcanoes in Europe
today? Or that the longest-existing lava lake is in Ethiopia? Or
that Mount Stromboli off the coast of Italy has been in almost
continuous eruption for the past 2000 years? Illustrated with 200
spectacular photographs, Volcano is a fascinating visual journey
around the globe, selecting the most striking live and extinct
volcanoes from Alaska to Antarctica, from Tanzania to Tasmania,
from Kamchatka in Russia’s far east to Indonesia and the
Philippines. Alongside famous volcanoes such as Mount Etna in
Sicily, Mount Vesuvius on the Italian mainland and Mount St Helens
in Washington State, the book features many lesser known but
equally interesting volcanoes across all the continents. Each entry
is accompanied with a fascinating caption explaining not only the
geological forces at work, but also how the volcano has shaped the
history of the surrounding areas across millennia. Presented in a
landscape format and with more than 190 outstanding colour
photographs of around 100 entries, Volcano is a stunning collection
of images.
This book traces the presence of the theater, both as an abstract
concept and a literal space, in the plays and poetry of Gertrude
Stein and Wallace Stevens as it attempts to explain the parallel
depictions of consciousness that are found in both authors' work.
Literary modernists inherited a self that was fallible, a self that
was seen as an ultimately failed gesture of expression, and
throughout much modern literature is a sense of disillusionment
with more traditional notions of selfhood. As more conventional
ways of thinking about consciousness became untenable, so too did
conventional models of artistic expression.This book shows how
Stein and Stevens provide powerful examples of this modern attempt
to stage the new subject.
Surfing has emerged from ancient roots to become a twenty-first
century phenomenon - an 'alternative' sport, lifestyle and art form
with a global profile and ever-increasing numbers of participants.
Drawing on popular surf culture, academic literature and the
analytical tools of social theory, this book is the first sustained
commentary on the contemporary social and cultural meaning of
surfing. Core themes of mind and body, emotions and identity,
aesthetics, style, and sensory experience are explored through a
variety of topics, and particular attention is paid to: * evolving
perceptions of the sea and the beach * the globalization of surfing
* surfing as a subculture and lifestyle * the embodiment and
gendering of surfing. Surfing and Social Theory is an original and
theoretically rigorous text that sets the agenda for future work in
this area. Along with the Surf Science courses now appearing in
universities around the world, this text provides students and
researchers in sport, sociology, culture and geography with a new
perspective and a thought-provoking text.
This book traces the presence of the theatre, both literally and metaphorically, in the plays and poetry of Gertrude Stein and Wallace Stevens, and examines the parallel depictions of modern 'consciousness' as performance, as 'staging' that are found in both authors' work. Approaching the question of consciousness for these two writers in its specific literary and cultural contexts, the author shows how the concepts of stage and theatre allow both Stein and Stevens to articulate a form of modernist consciousness that is created and self-creating.

From the author of Cottonmouths, a Los Angeles Review Best Book of
2017, comes an evocative suspense about the cost of keeping secrets
and the dangers of coming home. Beneath the roiling waters of the
Arkansas River lie dead men and buried secrets. When Jane Mooney's
violent stepfather, Warren, disappeared, most folks in Maud
Bottoms, Arkansas, assumed he got drunk and drowned. After all, the
river had claimed its share over the years. When Jane confessed to
his murder, she should have gone to jail. That's what she wanted.
But without a body, the police didn't charge her with the crime. So
Jane left for Boston-and took her secrets with her. Twenty-five
years later, the river floods and a body surfaces. Talk of Warren's
murder grips the town. Now in her forties, Jane returns to Maud
Bottoms to reckon with her past: to do jail time, to face her
revenge-bent mother, to make things right. But though Jane's
homecoming may enlighten some, it could threaten others. Because in
this desolate river valley, some secrets are better left
undisturbed.

From the author of Real Bad Things and Cottonmouths, a Los Angeles
Review Best Book of 2017, comes the darkly suspenseful tale of a
small-town Easter tradition and its murderous secrets. For
seventeen years, a serial murderer has used the Presley, Arkansas,
Annual Hunt for the Golden Egg to find prey. Or at least that’s
what some people believe. Others, like the town’s devoted
“Eggheads,” relish the tradition and think the deaths are just
unfortunate accidents. But for Nell Holcomb, the town’s annual
Hunt dredges up a particularly painful memory: her brother’s
death, long believed to be “the Hunter’s” first kill. Nell
has been caring for her nephew since then, trying to keep him safe
and trying to conceal the role she played in his father’s death.
Most importantly, she’s been trying to avoid the Hunt—despite
the clashes that erupt in town over the event and her best
friend’s obsession with winning the big prize. As Easter draws
near and the town’s frenzy escalates, Nell must face her past and
the Hunt as the danger once again veers close to home.
An unprecedented text explains how to analyze the role of rhetoric
in organizations Integrating rhetorical theories and methods with
principles of organizational communication, this pioneering text
provides students with a step-by-step method for analyzing and
critiquing examples of organizational rhetoric. The first half of
the book offers an accessible introduction to rhetorical research,
theory, and criticism and equips students for analyzing the
messages of organizations in a variety of contexts. The second half
focuses on needs in real-life organizational situations: to create
and maintain identity; to manage messages about issues, risk, and
crisis; and to communicate with those "inside" the organization.
Contemporary examples and case studies (including a dispute over
clean energy in Texas, efforts on the part of restaurant owners in
New York to fight food labeling requirements, and a university's
announcement that it is building a "body farm") illustrate the
importance of this area of study and provide opportunities for
students to apply their emerging analytical and critical thinking
skills. Key Features Grounds the explanation and critique of
persuasive organizational messages in traditional and contemporary
rhetorical literature Shows students how to critique the messages
organizations use to create and maintain organizational power
Demonstrates the importance of rhetoric to the success of the
organization Uses case studies and accompanying worksheets to help
students move through the process of analyzing sample situations
and messages Covers image/impression management, issue management,
crisis management, and other key facets of organizational rhetoric
Includes models of the book's method for analysis at the beginning
of each chapter to help students visualize how each step fits into
the larger system Intended Audience Organizational Rhetoric:
Situations and Strategies is ideal for a wide range of courses at
the upper-level undergraduate and master's level, including
Organizational Communication, Organizational Studies, Public
Relations, and Rhetorical Studies. This first-of-its-kind textbook
is also an essential addition to the libraries of
Communication/Rhetoric and Business instructors.
