Book Synopsis Skywalking by : Jeff Rud

Download or read book Skywalking written by Jeff Rud. This book was released on 1999. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rud, who has a lively, engaging writing style which allows the 10 players to emerge as individuals, has selected his subjects well. They come from a variety of backgrounds, and, if the book has a message for adolescents, it is that there is no single path to a professional career in basketball. With each player, Rud shows how s/he overcame obstacles in order to play basketball professionally. Of the group, likely Canada's Steve Nash, the Vancouver Grizzlies' Shareef Abdur-Rahim, and the Toronto Raptors' Vince Carter will be the names with the highest reader recognition amongst average Canadian youth. Though hockey books may still dominate the sport shelves, definitely make a place for Skywalking. Highly Recommended." -Canadian Materials

Book Synopsis Sky Walking by : Tom Jones

Download or read book Sky Walking written by Tom Jones. This book was released on 2016-12-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping first-hand account of life in space and the making of an astronaut. What is it like to fly the space shuttle and work on and in the International Space Station? Veteran NASA astronaut Tom Jones is uniquely qualified to give the details: he flew four shuttle missions and led three space walks to deliver the US Lab to the Station. . From B-52 pilot during the Cold War, to a PhD in planetary science, to the unbelievable rigors of astronaut training, his career inevitably pointed him toward the space shuttle. Until the Challenger exploded. Jones's story is the first to candidly explain the professional and personal hardships faced by the astronauts in the aftermath of that 1986 tragedy. He certainly has 'The Right Stuff' but also found himself wondering if the risks he undertook were worth the toll on his family. Liftoffs were especially nerve-wracking (his mother, who refuses to even get on a plane, cannot watch) but his 53 days in space were unforgettable adventures. Jones uses his background as a scientist to explain the practical applications of many of the shuttle's scientific missions, and describes what it's like to work with the international crews building and living aboard the space station. Tom Jones returned from his space station voyage to assess the impact of the 2003 Columbia tragedy, and prescribes a successful course for the U.S. in space. Stunning photographs, many taken in space, illustrate his amazing journey.

Book Synopsis Body and Text: Cultural Transformations in New Media Environments by : David Callahan

Download or read book Body and Text: Cultural Transformations in New Media Environments written by David Callahan. This book was released on 2019-08-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a collection of academic essays that take a fresh look at content and body transformation in the new media, highlighting how old hierarchies and canons of analysis must be revised. The movement of narratives and characterisations across forms, conventionally understood as adaptation, has commonly involved high-status classical forms (drama, epic, novel) being transformed into recorded and broadcast media (film, radio and television), or from the older recorded media to the newer ones. The advent of convergent digital platforms has further transformed hierarchies, and the formation of global conglomerates has created the commercial conditions for ever more lucrative exchanges between different media. Now source texts can move in any direction and take up any configuration, as emerging interacting fan bases drive innovation and new creative and commercial possibilities are deployed. Moreover, transformation may be not just a technology-driven creative practice and response, but at the very centre of the thematic worlds developed in those forms of story-telling which are currently popular: television series, video games, films and novels. The magic transformation of “your” money into “their” money is paralleled in contemporary media and culture by the centrality of transformation of one product to another as a media industry practice, as well as the transformation of bodies as a major theme both in the ensuing media products and in people’s identity practices in daily life.
