Alien Legacies by Nathan Abrams,Gregory Frame Pdf

The 1979 film Alien has left an indelible mark on popular culture. Directed by Ridley Scott, at the time known primarily for making advertisements, and starring then-unknown actor Sigourney Weaver in the lead role, it transcended its humble origins to shock and disturb audiences upon its initial release. Its success has led to three direct sequels, two prequels, one "mashup" franchise, a series of comic books, graphic novels, novelizations, games, and an enormous and devoted fanbase. For forty years, Alien and its progeny have animated debate and discussion among critics and academics from a wide variety of fields and methodological perspectives. This book brings together scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to explore Alien through a contemporary lens. The chapters here demonstrate the extent to which its effects and reception are deeply multifaceted, with the Alien franchise straddling the lines between "high" and "low" culture, playing with generic categories, crossing media boundaries, and animating theoretical, critical, and political debates. Chapters touch on female agency and motherhood, the influence of H.R. Giger, the viscerality of Alien's body horror, the narrative tradition of the Female Gothic, the patriarchal gaze in the Alien video games, and the rise of in-universe online marketing campaigns. In so doing, the volume aims to debate Alien's legacy, consider its current position within visual culture, and establish what the series means--and why it still matters--forty years since its birth.

The Jesus Heist by C. Andrew Doyle Pdf

Provocative readings of biblical stories, with thoughts on what they are saying to the church Inside the Church, we are constantly and consistently reading the gospels through the lens of supporting our own institution and structure. This prevents us from hearing the critique Jesus offered in his own day and his emphatic and persistent call to be and do differently now (Matthew 23:1–12). Stories that will be covered include Widow’s Mite, Rich Young Ruler, Destruction of the Temple, Searching for the Lost Coin, Sower of the Seeds, Transfiguration, and the Great Commission. This book will flip the script of many Bible stories, allowing us to hear Jesus’ call to change as one that is directed at us rather than as one we should direct toward others.

Magic Heist by Mary Karlik Pdf

Layla rescued fairies that had been kidnapped and brought to the human world. But now they can't find their way back to the magic realm and time is running out. Layla is a powerful fairy with magical ability that stretches beyond throwing spells. But with all that power, she still doesn't know how to get over one-hundred fairies back to the magic realm. With their magic gone, the rescued fairies have no immunity to protect them from the toxins of the human world, and they're slowly dying. Layla hears a folklore about a silver wand that could restore the fairy's power. The trouble is she has to find it and steal it. To be successful, she knows she must team up with the one man who can make her insides quiver with an accidental brush of his fingertips. The same man who's alter ego dragon is the natural predator of fairies. The man she knows will give his life to keep the fairies safe-Scotland's finest Specialist Crime Division leader, Ian Cameron. Ian has only been a dragon shifter for a few days. He struggles to control the dragon spirit locked inside his human form, doesn't know what magical powers he may or may not have, and has never been to a magical world. But none of those things frighten him as much as the little spark that ignites in his soul when the half - human fairy is around. But this little fairy is no Tinkerbell. She is brave, powerful, and can wield a sword like a medieval knight. With growing feelings toward Layla, he couldn't refuse to help her steal the wand if he wanted to. The problem is the dragon who lives inside him would like nothing more than to feed his appetite with all of those little fairies-especially the half human one who killed its leader.

Harvesting trees to harvest cash crops: The role of internal migrants in forest land conversion in Uganda by Ignaciuk, A., Kwon, J., Maggio, G., Mastrorillo, M., Sitko, N.J. Pdf

In this work, we merge socio-economic data with data on deforestation to explore the interrelationship between rural migration, the development of commercial agricultural sector, and forest cover loss. Specifically we test the role of cash crop producers and inter-district migrants on the tree loss in the parish of residence, while controlling for several other household-level and parish-level contributing factors of deforestation, including population density, proximity to markets and protected areas. Also, we investigate the agricultural channel, specifically producing cash crops, as one major channel through which inter-district migration affects deforestation. Our analysis aims to support the identification of policy strategies to reduce the adverse impacts of agricultural commercialization initiatives on Uganda’s critical natural resources; and identify policy options that maximize migrant’s benefits on recipient areas while minimizing downside risks of migration related to over-exploitation of resources and deforestation.
