Necrotrivia Vs. Skull

By: Jeremy Gluck

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

DescriptionWritten under the pen name Jeremy Clarke and originally published in 1988 to critical acclaim and strong sales, ""Necrotrivia vs. Skull"" is a scathing but playful satire of Western culture and materialism, its addictions and collective mental instability. ""Necrotrivia"" provides an interesting, fictional contrast to Jeremy's memoir, ""Victim of Dreams,"" also available from Chipmunka. Indeed, ""Necrotrivia's main character, an alien who develops a junk food addiction and ends up a copywriter whoring a narcotic breakfast cereal, is in a way a prophetic cipher of the author, whose experiences and bipolar battles he mimics. Now accorded cult status, this new edition of the book features original graphics by Birmingham animator Aston Walker. About the AuthorJeremy Gluck is an expatriate Canadian who, with a parallel, successful life in the arts as a novelist, poet, musician lyricist, journalist and more, is now working in the voluntary mental health sector. Diagnosed some years ago with bipolar disorder, he has since written two books around mental health, the first a memoir, "Victim of Dreams," and the second "A Definitive Guide to Mental Health Recovery," a personal consideration of routes to recovery that includes contributions from a variety of expert thinkers on the subject. The reappearance after twenty years of his first book, the satirical novel "Necrotrivia vs. Skull," brings this highly creative artist's published work full circle.

Showdowns

The 20 Greatest Wrestling Rivalries of the Last Tw

By: Jeremy Roberts

Two decades of the top twenty fan favorites and the matches that made them famous. It starts with an insult...then comes a push, a shove...a betrayal. Before you know it, the two wrestlers are at each other's throats. It's a rivalry, it's personal...it's a showdown. Some showdowns are straightforward: John Cena wants to prove himself by taking on JBL; Randy Orton knows that if he can slay Undertaker, it will prove that he is the legend killer. Others are grudge matches -- The Rock is finally going to put Stone Cold Steve Austin, the bionic redneck, in his place. There are conflicts we can all identify with: Steve Austin doing to Mr. McMahon what we dream of doing to our boss every Monday morning. There are the epic showdowns that evoke the eternal struggle: Undertaker versus Kane. And the truly bizarre: Mankind against Shawn Michaels. Here for the first time ever, Jeremy Roberts (co-author of Controversy Creates Cash and Batista Unleashed) examines the top twenty rivalries of the past twenty years. Roberts takes us on a veritable tour of recent wrestling history, from Hulk Hogan's showdowns with Randy Savage to the gargantuan struggles between Undertaker and Batista. The high-flying action of the Hardy Boyz, the Dudleys, Edge & Christian -- all are examined in what amounts to a brief for the wrestlers' inclusion in the hall of fame. From the Monday Night Wars between nWo and D-Generation X to the real-life conflict that spawned Matt Hardy's memorable bloodfest with Edge, Roberts takes you into the ring so vividly you'll come away with bruises.

Discographies

Dance, Music, Culture and the Politics of Sound

By: Jeremy Gilbert,Ewan Pearson

Experiencing disco, hip hop, house, techno, drum 'n' bass and garage, Discographies plots a course through the transatlantic dance scene of the last last twenty-five years. It discusses the problems posed by contemporary dance culture of both academic and cultural study and finds these origins in the history of opposition to music as a source of sensory pleasure. Discussing such issues as technology, club space. drugs, the musical body, gender, sexuality and pleasure, Discographies explores the ecstatic experiences at the heart of contemporary dance culture. It suggests why politicians and agencies as diverse as the independent music press and public broadcasting should be so hostile to this cultural phenomenon.

Firesign

The Electromagnetic History of Everything as Told on Nine Comedy Albums

By: Jeremy Braddock

A cultural clearinghouse of the American 1960s and '70s as told through the story of the period's most important forgotten comedy group. This expansive book reclaims the Firesign Theatre (hazily remembered as a comedy act for stoners) as critically engaged artists working in the heart of the culture industry at a time of massive social and technological change. Working at the intersection of popular music, sound and media studies, cultural history, and avant-garde literature, Jeremy Braddock reveals how this inventive group made the lowbrow comedy album a medium for registering the contradictions and collapse of the counterculture, and traces their legacies in hip-hop turntablism, computer hacking, and participatory fan culture. Focusing on Firesign's work in Los Angeles from 1967 to 1975, Braddock deploys a vast range of material sources, informed by numerous interviews and writing in tune with the group's obsessive and ludic reflections--on multitrack recording, radio, television, cinema, early artificial intelligence, and more. This ebullient act of media archaeology reveals Firesign Theatre as authors of a comic utopian pessimism that will inspire twenty-first-century recording arts and urge us to engage the massive technological changes of our own era"--

Modern Noise, Fluid Genres

Popular Music in Indonesia, 1997–2001

By: Jeremy Wallach

What happens to “local” sound when globalization exposes musicians and audiences to cultural influences from around the world? Jeremy Wallach explores this question as it plays out in the eclectic, evolving world of Indonesian music after the fall of the repressive Soeharto regime. Against the backdrop of Indonesia’s chaotic and momentous transition to democracy, Wallach takes us to recording studios, music stores, concert venues, university campuses, video shoots, and urban neighborhoods. Integrating ground-level ethnographic research with insights drawn from contemporary cultural theory, he shows that access to globally circulating music and technologies has neither extinguished nor homogenized local music-making in Indonesia. Instead, it has provided young Indonesians with creative possibilities for exploring their identity in a diverse nation undergoing dramatic changes in an increasingly interconnected world. Ultimately, he finds, the unofficial, multicultural nationalism of Indonesian popular music provides a viable alternative to the religious, ethnic, regional, and class-based extremism that continues to threaten unity and democracy in that country.

The Life and Music of Lou Reed

By: Jeremy Reed

In Waiting For The Man, Jeremy Reed focuses on Lou Reed as rock's principal literary avatar, paying special attention to his controversial lyrics and prototypical garage sound. Lou Reed influenced generations of copyists that took note of his outlaw status, ambiguous sexual orientation characterised by his seventies relationship with the transvestite Rachel, his implacable mystique, cool and defiant attitude as the narrator of subcultures. Finally the book examines the transcendent, if reluctant calm, that Reed arrived at in later life. Taking in the sweep of Reed's career from Velvet Underground to the variants of forty years of resistant solo pioneering, Waiting For The Man accesses the man and his music, with the extraordinary perception and attention to detail.

Understanding Light Microscopy

Understanding Light Microscopy

By: Jeremy Sanderson

Introduces readers to the enlightening world of the modern light microscope There have been rapid advances in science and technology over the last decade, and the light microscope, together with the information that it gives about the image, has changed too. Yet the fundamental principles of setting up and using a microscope rests upon unchanging physical principles that have been understood for years. This informative, practical, full-colour guide fills the gap between specialised edited texts on detailed research topics, and introductory books, which concentrate on an optical approach to the light microscope. It also provides comprehensive coverage of confocal microscopy, which has revolutionised light microscopy over the last few decades. Written to help the reader understand, set up, and use the often very expensive and complex modern research light microscope properly, Understanding Light Microscopy keeps mathematical formulae to a minimum—containing and explaining them within boxes in the text. Chapters provide in-depth coverage of basic microscope optics and design; ergonomics; illumination; diffraction and image formation; reflected-light, polarised-light, and fluorescence microscopy; deconvolution; TIRF microscopy; FRAP & FRET; super-resolution techniques; biological and materials specimen preparation; and more. Gives a didactic introduction to the light microscope Encourages readers to use advanced fluorescence and confocal microscopes within a research institute or core microscopy facility Features full-colour illustrations and workable practical protocols Understanding Light Microscopy is intended for any scientist who wishes to understand and use a modern light microscope. It is also ideal as supporting material for a formal taught course, or for individual students to learn the key aspects of light microscopy through their own study.

Film Censorship in America

A State-by-State History

By: Jeremy Geltzer

Since the first films played in nickelodeons, controversial movies have been cut or banned across the United States. Far from Hollywood, regional productions such as Oscar Micheaux's provocative race films and Nell Shipman's wildlife adventures were censored by men like Major M.L.C. Funkhouser, the terror of Chicago's cinemas, and Myrtelle Snell, the Alabama administrator who made the slogan "Banned in Birmingham" famous. Censorship continues today, with Utah's case against Deadpool (2016) pending in federal court and Robert Rodriguez's Machete Kills (2013) versus the Texas Film Commission. This authoritative state-by-state account covers the history of film censorship and the battle for free speech in America.

By: Jeremy James

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Byerley Turk

The Incredible Story of the World's First Thoroughbred

By: Jeremy James

Of the three horses that were the ancestors of the modern thoroughbred, the first and greatest was undoubtedly the Byerley Turk. This book gives an account of the life of this breed, extending from the palaces of the Ottoman Empire to the streets of London and beyond, and featuring a cast of historical figures. It begins in 1679 in a remote Balkan village, where a seyis - a penniless groom - finds himself caring for a remarkable young foal. Believing it destined for greatness, and seeing a chance to escape his own humble circumstances, he begins schooling the animal in the disciplines of war. Hewing closely to the historical record, the author goes on to trace the fortunes of the Turk and its new master: In 1682, they arrived in Istanbul, where the horse was selected for the Ottoman Empire's renowned cavalry. Ridden as a battle charger in the Turkish sieges on Vienna and Buda, it was captured, along with its groom, by a party of adventuring British aristocrats and taken back to England in 1686. In London, it was bought by Captain Robert Byerley, who rode the Turk to Ireland to take on the Jacobite forces in several pivotal encounters, including the Battle of the Boyne. Eventually, the Turk was put to stud, initiating what was to become its greatest legacy: first foundation sire of the thoroughbred line.--Publisher's description.

Rey Mysterio

Behind the Mask

By: Jeremy Roberts

He's called the human highlight reel of professional wrestling. His high-flying acrobatics have thrilled fans on every continent. He's been crowned champion of the world's greatest wrestling promotions, from Mexico to the U.S. But he's never revealed the inside story of who he is. Until now. Wrestling fans know him as Rey Mysterio, an American luchador of unparalleled talent, the ultimate proof that good things come in small packages. Now for the first time, Rey adds the personal side to the story: • How he had to fight to get a tryout in the ring • Who he was before Rey Misterio Jr. -- and even before Colibri, usually noted as his first identity • What it was like to wrestle in Mexico -- from the bullrings to the riots • How he fought plans for his unmasking in WCW -- and why he wishes he hadn't succeeded • The inside story of the 619, the West Coast Pop, and his other signature moves • The impact of Eddie Guerrero on his career in WWE • The personal struggle that cost him ring time in 2008 but ultimately made him a stronger man • His real passion in life as husband and father In Rey Mysterio: Behind the Mask, Rey talks candidly about his twenty-plus-year career, from the days of sneaking into bars as a fourteen-year-old to his most recent showdowns in WWE. He speaks of the emotional moments in the ring with his uncle Rey Misterio, and the dark days when he went under the knife to repair his damaged knee. Along the way, Mysterio introduces American audiences to the mysteries of lucha libre, the high-flying, anything-goes Mexican wrestling style that he has done so much to popularize in the U.S. He also talks about the debts he owes to wrestlers such as Konnan, known as the Mexican Hulk Hogan, and dishes some behind-the-scenes dirt on the collapse of WCW at the height of the Monday Night Wars. Mysterio talks tenderly -- but realistically -- of his friend Eddie Guerrero, providing a well-rounded picture of one of the most beloved wrestling figures of recent history. He also details his march toward the Heavyweight Championship, and his mastery of the WWE Triple Crown -- a feat that placed him in an elite group for all time. Behind the Mask is the intimate portrait of one of wrestling's all-time greats, a story wrestling fans of all ages won't want to miss.

Indeed, the great fear is we're entering endgame where we appear to have lost the race between self-destruction and self-discovery―the race to find the psychologically relieving understanding of our 'good and evil'-afflicted human condition. Well, astonishing as it is, this book by biologist Jeremy Griffith presents the 11th hour breakthrough biological explanation of the human condition necessary for the psychological rehabilitation and transformation of our species!

Griffith has been able to venture right to the bottom of the dark depths of what it is to be human and return with the fully accountable, true explanation of our seemingly imperfect lives. At long last we have the redeeming and thus transforming understanding of human behaviour! And with that explanation found all the other great outstanding scientific mysteries about our existence are now also able to be truthfully explained―of the meaning of our existence, of the origin of our unconditionally selfless moral instincts, and of why we humans became conscious when other animals haven't. Yes, the full story of life on Earth can finally be told―and all of these incredible breakthroughs and insights are presented here in this 'greatest of all books'.

Dragon Slayers is a fairy tale for grown-ups. It's a comedy, fantasy-adventure epic for the drunken children in all our hearts. Venture through a world of wild imagination. Experience the explosive fury of Mother Nature on an untamed planet still finding its face as it spins around the sun. Explore the semi-Victorian, modern, medieval, sorta steampunk weirdness of what can be best described as a prototype to what we would eventually call human civilization. Magic, madness, violence, carnage, booze, and bong hits in a hostile and dangerous world of monsters, magical creatures, demons, dinosaurs, giant birds, and psychedelic drugs! It's a truly wild and fantastic adventure unlike any other. A kingdom already struggling with your typical medieval problems--famine, plague, delusions of grandeur--suddenly suffers a horrific disaster, leaving part of the city destroyed. Thousands dead. Scared shitless and dumb as a box of rocks, the psychotic king sends a very small band of farmers and fishermen into the wild to hunt and kill the dragons responsible for the carnage. They are sent forth to die under penalty of death; they're high as a kite and running for their lives on a hopeless quest to confront the most dangerous apex predators on the planet. Dragon Slayers was once described as Game of Thrones as though written by Mel Brooks.

The Obedient Banker

From Bombay to Beverly Hills (A Revealing Insight into the Unusual Life of a Colonial Banker)

By: Jeremy Tait

The Obedient Banker is the true life story of a young man who in 1951 at the age of twenty joins the London City branch of a colonial bank (later to become HSBC) as a trainee officer and after five months finds himself thrust into a strange world in the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong, which was far removed from the quiet West Sussex village where he was brought up and the elite public school in Oxford where he was educated. Many of Jerrys fellow trainee officers had similar backgrounds and upbringings which helped them to adapt to new lifestyles which required complete obedience to the Banks rules and regulations. Hence the title of the book One critic writes: It is almost impossible for the reader not to identify with the struggles and successes of a young aspiring banker whose initiatives are so often tempered by the restraints imposed upon him by a highly regulated colonial system which he feels obliged to adhere to. Far away from his homeland and confronted with unusual situations which demand solutions beyond his capabilities, the obedient banker treads a tightrope between convention and innovation that only commonsense and self restraint can resolve. From taipans to tigers, from Japanese geishas to Indian princesses, from charging picket lines to illicit distilling and from the squalor of Bombays slums to the affluence of Beverly Hills, Jerry has captured it all in his fascinating book. Apart from numerous amusing anecdotes and unusual banking procedures, of considerable historical interest are the illustrations and the detailed accounts of the 1955 bank strike in Japan, the Sino-Indian War in 1962 when Chinese troops crossed the McMahon line, the fall of Saigon to the VC in 1975, the atrocities in Chile in 1976 under their military dictator General Augusto Pinochet and the closure of the banks branches in Yemen in 1980.

A Realist Metaphysics of Race

A Context-Sensitive, Short-Term Retentionist, Long-Term Revisionist Approach

By: Jeremy Pierce

In A Realist Metaphysics of Race: A Context-Sensitive, Short-Term Retentionist, Long-Term Revisionist Approach, Jeremy Pierce defends a social kind view of racial categories. On this view, the biological features we use to classify people racially do not make races natural kinds. Rather, races exist because of contingent social practices, single out certain groups of people as races, give them social importance, and allow us to name them as races. Pierce also identifies several kinds of context-sensitivity as central to how racial categorization works and argues that we need racial categories to identify problems in how our racial constructions are formed, including the harmful effects of racial constructions. Hence, rather than seeking to eliminate such categories, Pierce argues that we should also make efforts to change the conditions that generate their problematic elements, with an eye toward retaining only the unproblematic aspects. A Realist Metaphysics of Race contains insights relevant not just to professional philosophers in metaphysics, philosophy of race, social philosophy, philosophy of language, and philosophy of science, but also to students and scholars working in sociology, biology, anthropology, ethnic studies, and political science.

Tedrick Gritswell Gets Crabby

By: Jeremy Tyrrell

Crime doesn't take a holiday, even during the worst of storms. As a favour to Captain Barnes, Tedrick 'Stumpy' Gritswell takes on a case regarding a barren stretch of land. Sounds simple enough and the clams are decent. What could possibly go wrong? Well, apart from a senseless murder, there's that. And vicious barracudas. And crazy dames, psychopathic upstarts, corrupt police, vengeful Old Salts and a dangerous algae that could spell the end of civilisation. All things considered, it's just another tide on Borobo Reef.

Mathematics of Big Data

Spreadsheets, Databases, Matrices, and Graphs

By: Jeremy Kepner,Hayden Jananthan

The first book to present the common mathematical foundations of big data analysis across a range of applications and technologies. Today, the volume, velocity, and variety of data are increasing rapidly across a range of fields, including Internet search, healthcare, finance, social media, wireless devices, and cybersecurity. Indeed, these data are growing at a rate beyond our capacity to analyze them. The tools—including spreadsheets, databases, matrices, and graphs—developed to address this challenge all reflect the need to store and operate on data as whole sets rather than as individual elements. This book presents the common mathematical foundations of these data sets that apply across many applications and technologies. Associative arrays unify and simplify data, allowing readers to look past the differences among the various tools and leverage their mathematical similarities in order to solve the hardest big data challenges. The book first introduces the concept of the associative array in practical terms, presents the associative array manipulation system D4M (Dynamic Distributed Dimensional Data Model), and describes the application of associative arrays to graph analysis and machine learning. It provides a mathematically rigorous definition of associative arrays and describes the properties of associative arrays that arise from this definition. Finally, the book shows how concepts of linearity can be extended to encompass associative arrays. Mathematics of Big Data can be used as a textbook or reference by engineers, scientists, mathematicians, computer scientists, and software engineers who analyze big data.
