Plays That Aren't Boring

Scripts for Stage and Screen

By: Dennis J. Barton

Four complete works for the stage and screen. Surreal Stage Plays “America the Odd”: son of Odysseus, Telemachus, has himself elected President of a new “America” during his father’s long absence from home. A drunken Abraham Lincoln and George Washington fist-fight over a lost love; the Lone Ranger and Custer form romantic ties; Adolph Hitler seeks redemption through an affair with a 1950s alcoholic housewife; Russian golfers conspire to beat Neil Armstrong to the moon and to help Odysseus recover his kingdom. “Watermelon”: a number of realities meld around the central themes of personal identity and free will. From the rural American farmlands to slapstick-tragic Watermelon World, characters seem puppets of fate until God discovers her own free will. Screenplays “Huck Finn Rides Again”: Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn grow up to take opposite sides in the American Civil War, and it’s a contest between their boyhood friendship and the new ideals of adulthood. Issues of money, power, and racial prejudice drive a powerful wedge between the one-time pals originally created by Mark Twain. “Lemonjello”: a comic satire in which a young African–American man raised by white parents finds himself stuck between the black and white worlds of contemporary America, where racial prejudice, and a longing for true love and understanding lead Lemonjello into and out of one hilariously tragic situation after another.

Ragnarok

By: Dennis J. Barton

In a world where the old gods of all religions have returned to rule the earth, and North America is ruled by the ancient Norse pantheon, Lucky is the sheriff of Ragged Rock County, where all types of mythical monsters live apart from normal humans. Lucky was appointed to this position by his old college pal, the Norse god Thor. It's a dangerous life but a good one, keeping order among frost-giants, vampires, were-beasts and other frightful creatures, and Lucky does well for his wives and his children. But, in the course of his daily duties on Midgard, his official visits to Asgard, and a series of flashbacks to his college days with Thor, Lucky begins to suspect that all is not as it seems. When the sheriff's station is destroyed by a mysterious and powerful new monster, Lucky is drawn into a web of danger and intrigue and must seek the deeply-hidden truth.

Neurobiology of Mental Illness

By: Dennis S. Charney,Eric J. Nestler

This is a new edition of the first comprehensive text to show how the advances in molecular and cellular biology and in the basic neurosciences have brought the revolution in molecular medicine to the field of psychiatry. The book begins with a review of basic neuroscience and methods for studying neurobiology in human patients then proceeds to discussions of all major psychiatric syndromes with respect to knowledge of their etiology, pathophysiology, and treatment. Emphasis is placed on synthesizing information across numerous levels of analysis, including molecular biology and genetics, cellular physiology, neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology, and behavior, and in translating information from the basic laboratory to the clinical laboratory and finally to clinical treatment. Editors Dennis Charney and Eric Nestle, along with their six section editors and over 150 contributors, have revised and updated all 80 chapters from the previous edition and have added new chapters on topics relating to, for example, genetics, experimental therapeutics, and late-life mood disorders. Both a textbook and a reference book, Neurobiology of Mental Illness is intended for psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and upper level students.

Red Star

Sacred Cities

By: Dennis J. Barton

Welcome to the year 2112. Enter the Temples of Syrinx. Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand. Surrender. Obey. The year is 2112. Religion and technology have been leveraged to control the lives and minds of humankind. Truth is a lie. Oppression is the rule. The Great CPU and His prophet have sought to do away with free will. But there remain a few righteous hearts. A boy who dares to question; a disillusioned Vigilance officer; an old man with a country-place that used to be a farm. The future of human destiny rests in the hands of these disparate few, and theirs is the anthem of freedom, of rebellion. A ground-breaking science fiction epic inspired by the works of Rush, Red Star: Sacred Cities is the first of a series sure to thrill hard-core Rush fans and sci-fi addicts alike. THIS WORK HAS NOT BEEN ENDORSED BY RUSH
