Book excerpt: As a movie actress Lucille Ball was, in her own words, “queen of the B-pluses.” But on the small screen she was a superstar–arguably the funniest and most enduring in the history of TV. In this exemplary biography, Stefan Kanfer explores the roots of Lucy’s genius and places it in the context of her conflicted and sometimes bitter personal life. Ball of Fire gives us Lucy in all her contradictions. Here is the beauty who became a master of knock-down slapstick; the control freak whose comic alter ego thrived on chaos, the worshipful TV housewife whose real marriage ended in public disaster. Here, too, is an intimate view of the dawn of television and of the America that embraced it. Charming, informative, touching. and laugh-out-loud funny, this is the book Lucy’s fans have been waiting for.

Book Synopsis Balls of Fire by : Judy Kay King

Download or read book Balls of Fire written by Judy Kay King. This book was released on 2015-02-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning 5,000 years of history from ancient Egypt to our technoprogressive 21st century, the science reviewed in Balls of Fire builds on The Isis Thesis (2004) and 12 journal articles (2005-2013). The Isis Thesis is a semiotic study of ancient Egyptian literature, artwork, ritual, and architecture, showing that ancient Egyptian deities are signs for human and microbial genes and proteins evolving into a hybrid quantum species. The deities' activities describe the ancient glycolysis gene expression network in our cells and mirror the lifestyles of a complex bacterial virus that uses this ancient developmental pathway. Surprisingly, other historical religious deities mirror the activities of Egyptian deities, so religion has also preserved an evolutionary science for survival of human DNA in a quantum environment. Balls of Fire presents evidence that our semiotic system is based on underlying physical and chemical principles inherited from our microbial ancestors, so our microbial DNA is ordering our society space. Examining human history through the dual lens of contemporary science and human behavior, the study shows that human beings have the potential to evolve at death into a unique hybrid species. Elite historical rulers have consistently veiled this evolutionary knowledge from humanity. However, our behavior has stamped an evolutionary viral footprint on the last 12,000 years of human history. In line with the methodology of Imre Lakatos (1970) on progressive and degenerating research programs, Balls of Fire examines the core hypotheses of the Isis Thesis, its predictions and several other auxiliary hypotheses. Understanding transdisciplinary ancient Egyptian knowledge is not easy, so Balls of Fire uses the same mental model and ritual that the pharaonic priesthood imagined to describe the ancient viral gene expression network in our cells for morphogenesis. That model is their ball-throwing rite or the game of baseball, which originated in ancient Egypt to illustrate a viral protein binding battle over gene-bases. Although the game of baseball has drifted through the centuries as a popular sport in many cultures, it originally expressed microbiological warfare at the level of viral genes and proteins. Because ancient Egyptian science mirrors the knowledge of our contemporary sciences, the baseball model simplifies the information for readers, while explaining the science that the pharaonic priesthood concealed in pyramids and tombs for centuries. For the creation of the baseball model, a fantasy-draft selection of two teams frames the historical power/knowledge grid, as well as the scientific argument for and against the Isis Thesis, while explaining the necessary context for what the theory predicts and scientific experiments confirm. This is accomplished by the draft of dead and living scientists, philosophers, writers and other creative artists, whose ideas are presented in two fantasy teams in order to tackle the mind-body problem that has confounded humans for centuries. Using this adversarial system, the reader determines the truth of the case through a transdisciplinary quest that prioritizes scientific research. Also summarizing the author's 12 published scientific papers, Balls of Fire presents findings correlative with the history of human ideas, along with scientific evidence and mechanistic insights to establish the clear link between nature, our behavior and human evolutionary potential. The evidence shows that our behavior and the evolution of society in the last 12,000 years has carved a footprint into human history, profiling a viral developmental pathway for human evolution. Balls of Fire exposes this hidden survival agenda in baseball, ancient cultures, alchemy, literary texts, Christianity, world visions, our sciences, and history itself."

An obsession with a secret arson club. This is the story of a girl who has nothing and will burn anything. Lucia’s father is dead, her mother is in a mental hospital, and she’s living in a garage-turned-bedroom with her aunt. And now she’s been kicked out of school—again. Making her way through the world with only a book, a zippo lighter, a pocketful of stolen licorice, a biting wit, and the striking intel­ligence that she tries to hide, Lucia spends her days riding the bus to visit her mother and following the only rule that makes any sense to her: Don’t do things you aren’t proud of. But when she discovers that her new school has a secret Arson Club, she’s willing to do anything to be a part of it, and her life is sud­denly lit up. As Lucia’s fascination with the Arson Club grows, her story becomes one of misguided friendship and, ultimately, destruction.
