The genius and artistry behind Superbrothers and the making of an
indie video game, from inception to its highly anticipated launch.
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery was released in 2011 at the
forefront of an exciting era of "indie games" - with the aesthetic
of punk rock and the edge of modernist fiction, indie games pushed
gaming into the realm of the avant-garde. Superbrothers (Craig D.
Adams) was hailed as a visionary in the video game world. Now, his
long-awaited follow-up, JETT: The Far Shore, has been released for
Sony PlayStation and Epic Games Store. In the decade from inception
to launch, Adams brought author Adam Hammond along for the ride,
allowing unprecedented insight into the complicated genesis of
Jett. The Far Shore offers a portrait of the enigmatic Adams and
his team, the genius and artistry, the successes and setbacks, that
went into building the world of JETT, in which you're tasked with
scouting a new home for a humanoid people after they've decimated
their planet. To provide context, Hammond recounts the history of
indie games and how their trajectory has followed that of
independent art and literature. A riveting insider's look at one of
our most popular art forms.

Originally published in 1890, this useful guide is divided into six
sections covering; General Principles of Bricklaying; Arch Drawing,
Cutting, and Setting; Different kinds of pointing; Paving, Tiling,
Materials; Slating, and Plastering; Practical Geometry,
Mensuration, etc...The object of this little work is to assist
young beginners and others who, though in the trade many years,
have not had the opportunity of seeing so much of the higher
branches of practice as they might desire. I also trust it will not
be thought unworthy the notice of the more skilful mechanic.
....Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to
the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

In 1914, Wyndham Lewis and Ezra Pound-the founders of
vorticism-undertook an unprecedented analysis of the present, its
technologies, communication, politics, and architecture. The essays
in Counterblasting Canada trace the influence of vorticism on
Marshall McLuhan and Canadian Modernism. Building on the initial
accomplishment of the magazine Blast, McLuhan's subsequent
Counterblast, and the network of artistic and intellectual
relationships that flourished in Canadian vorticism, the
contributors offer groundbreaking examinations of postwar Canadian
literary culture, particularly the legacies of Sheila and Wilfred
Watson. Intended primarily for scholars of literature and
communications, Counterblasting Canada explores a crucial and
long-overlooked strand in Canadian cultural and literary history.

Literature in a Digital Age: An Introduction guides readers through
the most salient theoretical, interpretive, and creative
possibilities opened up by the shift to digital literary forms such
as e-books, digital archives, and electronic literature. While
Digital Humanities (DH) has been hailed as the 'next big thing' in
literary studies, many students and scholars remain perplexed as to
what a DH approach to literature entails, and skeptical observers
continue to see literature and the digital world as fundamentally
incompatible. In its argument that digital and traditional
scholarship should be placed in dialogue with each other, this book
contextualizes the advent of the digital in literary theory,
explores the new questions readers can ask of texts when they
become digitized, and investigates the challenges that fresh forms
of born-digital fiction pose to existing models of literary
analysis.
