The Hunger Games: Spectacle, Risk and the Girl Action Hero (Cinema and Youth Cultures) by Catherine Driscoll, Alexandra Heatwole 2018 | ISBN: 113868306X | English | 124 pages | EPUB | 2 MB The 2012 film The Hunger Games and its three sequels, appearing quickly over the following three years, represent one of the most successful examples of the contemporary popularity of youth-oriented speculative film and television series. This book considers "The Hunger Games" as an intertextual field centred on this blockbuster film franchise but also encompassing the successful novels that preceded them and the merchandised imagery and the critical and fan discourse that surrounds them. It explores the place of The Hunger Games in the history of youth-oriented cinema; in the history of speculative fiction centred on adolescents; in a network of continually evolving and tightly connected popular genres; and in the popular history of changing ideas about girlhood from which a successful action hero like Katniss Everdeen could emerge.  The Humachine: Humankind, Machines, and the Future of Enterprise by Nada R. Sanders, John D. Wood 2019 | ISBN: 1138571350, 1138571342 | English | 298 pages | EPUB | 1 MB There is a lot of hype, hand-waving, and ink being spilled about artificial intelligence (AI) in business. The amount of coverage of this topic in the trade press and on shareholder calls is evidence of a large change currently underway. It is awesome and terrifying. You might think of AI as a major environmental factor that is creating an evolutionary pressure that will force enterprise to evolve or perish. For those companies that do survive the "silicon wave" sweeping through the global economy, the issue becomes how to keep their humanity amidst the tumult.  The Healing Connection (PB): The Story of a Physician's Search for the Link between Faith and Health By Harold G. Koenig 2007 | 217 Pages | ISBN: 1932031650 | PDF | 2 MB The name Harold G. Koenig is well known in the fast-growing field of spirituality and health. Founder and director of the widely respected Duke University Center for the Study of ReligionSpirituality and Health. Dr. Koenig is recognized worldwide for his groundbreaking work in medical science and religious faith. In this booknow available in paperbackhe shares his remarkable personal story and shows how personal trials became the catalyst for his pioneering research. In Part One he describes his turbulent youth: growing up on a California vineyard, college days of experimentation during the 1970s, adventures as a student researcher in Africa with Jane Goodall, an emotional breakdown, expulsion from medical school for disruptive behavior, battling mental illness as a street person in San Francisco. He refers to his ongoing battle with a chronic and debilitating physical disease in terms of the insights it gives him for his work and he recounts the striking realization of Gods call, the people and events that helped him refine a vision into a mission and the subsequent professional opposition that resided alongside his success. Part Two draws on the real-life examples of former patients and summarizes Koenigs most important findings concerning the impact of Christian faith on mental and physical health, encapsulated by the statement: Religious faith and practice are connected to mental and physical health. In Part Three he challenges individuals and the American church to consider the implications of the research and to develop constructive ways of implementing the healing connection that can be found in faith.  The Handbook of Social Studies in Health and Medicine By Dr. Gary L. Albrecht, Mr Ray Fitzpatrick, Susan C Scrimshaw 1999 | 546 Pages | ISBN: 0761956174 | PDF | 4 MB This is the first international and inter-disciplinary social science Handbook on health and medicine. Five years in the making, and building on the insights and advice of an international editorial board, the book brings together world-class figures to provide an indispensable, comprehensive resource book on social science, health and medicine. Pinpointing the focal issues of research and debate in one volume, the material is organized into three sections: social and cultural frameworks of analysis; the experience of health and illness; and health care systems and practices. Each section consists of specially commissioned chapters designed to examine the vital conceptual and methodological practice and policy issues. Readers receive not only a complete survey of social science, health and medicine in one volume, they are further provided with an authoritative guide to methodologies, key concepts, central theoretical traditions and an agenda for future research and practice. The Handbook answers the need, expressed by social scientists and medical practitioners, for an authoritative, inter-disciplinary study which demonstrates the contribution and promise of social science disciplines in the crucial and rapidly changing field of health and medicine. The book will also be of interest to nurses, students in physical therapy, occupational therapy, epidemology, primary care and public health. The Handbook signals the coming of age of the social sciences in the arenas of medicine and health studies.  The Great Movies IV by Roger Ebert 2016 | ISBN: 022640398X | English | 288 pages | EPUB | 0.6 MB No film critic has ever been as influential-or as beloved- as Roger Ebert. Over more than four decades, he built a reputation writing reviews for the Chicago Sun-Times and, later, arguing onscreen with rival Chicago Tribune critic Gene Siskel and later Richard Roeper about the movies they loved and loathed. But Ebert went well beyond a mere "thumbs up" or "thumbs down." Readers could always sense the man behind the words, a man with interests beyond film and a lifetime's distilled wisdom about the larger world. Although the world lost one of its most important critics far too early, Ebert lives on in the minds of moviegoers today, who continually find themselves debating what he might have thought about a current movie.  The Great Leap Backward : Forgetting and Representing the Mao Years by Lingchei Letty Chen English | 2020 | ISBN: 1604979925 | 308 Pages | PDF | 2.08 MB  The Great Fire of Rome: Life and Death in the Ancient City (Witness to Ancient History) by Joseph J. Walsh 2019 | ISBN: 1421433710, 1421433702 | English | 192 pages | EPUB | 6 MB A thrilling and momentous account of the Great Fire of Rome and how a modern city arose from its embers.  The Good Way: A Himalayan Journey By Julie Tate-Libby English | 2019 | ISBN : 1633938379 | 206 pages | EPUB | 3.19 MB  The Game: A Digital Turning Point by Alessandro Baricco, Clarissa Botsford English | ISBN: 1952119006 | 271 pages | EPUB | December 1, 2020 | 6.83 Mb Fourteen years after the publication of his cult classic I Barbari, Baricco returns in The Game to the topic of change, in a journey that maps out the transformations that the digital revolution has wrought upon the landscape of human experience. From Space Invaders to the PlayStation, from Windows 95 to the conundrum of artificial intelligence, Baricco traces the trajectory of a revolution in the way we think, feel, and communicate - and seeks to discover what it might actually mean for our future.
