Holding Kryptonite by Lauren Agostino,A. L. Newberg Pdf

Look! Down on the Ground!It's a Bag. It's some Trash.It's...It's...What IS that?...In 1997, a young law firm assistant--Lauren Agostino--literally stumbled on a secret cache from Superman's creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. These original documents, private correspondence, legal papers, and artwork expose the muted and maligned history of the relationships and dynamics of the early Superman family.The origin of Superman and the downfall of its creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster is a dramatic saga that underscores one of America's most popular cultural icons. For the first time, Agostino and writer A.L. Newberg reveal the extraordinary true story of the Man of Steel's rise from a creative concept (sold for the infamous $130) to the 1947 lawsuit that nearly denied Siegel and Shuster of any future with their Man of Tomorrow.Stripped away the lies, myths and cover-ups this is a treasure trove for Superman fans and historians alike.

Superman by Ian Gordon Pdf

After debuting in 1938, Superman soon became an American icon. But why has he maintained his iconic status for nearly 80 years? And how can he still be an American icon when the country itself has undergone so much change? Superman: Persistence of an American Icon examines the many iterations of the character in comic books, comic strips, radio series, movie serials, feature films, television shows, animation, toys, and collectibles over the past eight decades. Demonstrating how Superman’s iconic popularity cannot be attributed to any single creator or text, comics expert Ian Gordon embarks on a deeper consideration of cultural mythmaking as a collective and dynamic process. He also outlines the often contentious relationships between the various parties who have contributed to the Superman mythos, including corporate executives, comics writers, artists, nostalgic commentators, and collectors. Armed with an encyclopedic knowledge of Superman’s appearances in comics and other media, Gordon also digs into comics archives to reveal the prominent role that fans have played in remembering, interpreting, and reimagining Superman’s iconography. Gordon considers how comics, film, and TV producers have taken advantage of fan engagement and nostalgia when selling Superman products. Investigating a character who is equally an icon of American culture, fan culture, and consumer culture, Superman thus offers a provocative analysis of mythmaking in the modern era.

Demons, Kryptonite, Points of Idiocy, and Shades of Crazy by Patrick Knobloch Pdf

In 1965, a rock group named The Byrds reached back over 2,000 years and took verses from the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible. When they released their song, the world sang "To everything - turn, turn, turn; There is a season - turn, turn, turn." Now, fifty years later, my book lets you consider these Old Testament words and evaluate their truth in your life. You first consider the role of choice and chance and then examine the negative side of life including natural disasters, demons, teasers, seductresses, weights, kryptonite, parasites, lunacy, idiocy, and other adverse influences. Next, you examine the positive side including angels, updrafts, sunshine, spinach, holidays/vacations, values, flowers, infusions, charms, and other positive influences. At the book's end, you determine how you see life and make plans to grow your life using your gifts and blessings. There are more than two dozen essays in this book and you reveal your thinking as you answer each essay question. Then I ask you to go online and post your anonymous answer on the website created just for this book. Your answer will be added to the Worldwide Bank of Wisdom(c) we will create together.

A Broken Therapist¡¦S Guide to Completeness by Mark Vegh Pdf

In A Broken Therapists Guide to Completeness, Mark Vegh explains how so many of us live with a fragmented perspective due to hurts and traumas of the past. We try to hide from our pain or push it away, but it only makes us rigid, cautious, and defensive. Or rather we stew on the past bumps and bruises, becoming resentful and bitter. Vegh uses the funny, the serious, and the irreverent to show you the wizard behind the curtain of moving beyond crisis, a little concept that encapsulates the things he found that worksits called dialectics.

In Praise of Retreat by Kirsteen MacLeod Pdf

For readers of Walden, Wild, Pilgrim at Tinker’s Creek, A Book of Silence, A Gift from the Sea and other celebrations of the inner adventure. An utterly engaging dive into our modern ways of retreat — where we go, why we’re drawn, and how it’s urgent From pilgrim paths to forest cabins, and from rented hermitages to arts temples and quiet havens for yoga and meditation, In Praise of Retreat explores the pleasures and powers of this ancient practice for modern people. Kirsteen MacLeod draws on the history of retreat and personal experiences to reveal the many ways readers can step back from society to reconnect with their deepest selves — and to their loftiest aspirations in life. In the 21st century, disengaging, even briefly, is seen by many as self-indulgent, unproductive, and antisocial. Yet to retreat is as basic a human need as being social, and everyone can benefit, whether it’s for a weekend, a month, or a lifetime. Retreat is an uncertain adventure with as many peaks and valleys as any mountain expedition, except we head inward, to recharge and find fresh energy and brave new ideas to bring back into our everyday lives.

To the River by Don Gillmor Pdf

WINNER OF THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S LITERARY AWARD FOR NON-FICTION An eloquent and haunting exploration of suicide in which one of Canada's most gifted writers attempts to understand why his brother took his own life. Which leads him to another powerful question: Why are boomers killing themselves at a far greater rate than the Silent Generation before them or the generations that have followed? In the spring of 2006, Don Gillmor travelled to Whitehorse to reconstruct the last days of his brother, David, whose truck and cowboy hat were found at the edge of the Yukon River just outside of town the previous December. David's family, his second wife, and his friends had different theories about his disappearance. Some thought David had run away; some thought he'd met with foul play; but most believed that David, a talented musician who at the age of 48 was about to give up the night life for a day job, had intentionally walked into the water. Just as Don was about to paddle the river looking for traces, David's body was found, six months after he'd gone into the river. And Don's canoe trip turned into an act of remembrance and mourning. At least David could now be laid to rest. But there was no rest for his survivors. As his brother writes, "When people die of suicide, one of the things they leave behind is suicide itself. It becomes a country. At first I was a visitor, but eventually I became a citizen." In this tender, probing, surprising work, Don Gillmor brings back news from that country for all of us who wonder why people kill themselves. And why, for the first time, it's not the teenaged or the elderly who have the highest suicide rate, but the middle aged. Especially men.

World Beyond Reason: The Orwellian Factor by James C. Lewis Pdf

World Beyond Reason: The Orwellian Factor By: James C. Lewis World Beyond Reason: The Orwellian Factor is the product of several years of focused research and investigation prompted by national and world occurrences. There is a movement in this country to change the United States from a merit-based, market-economy typically referred to as “capitalism” to a Marxist nation by a group called “Progressives.” These Progressives claim they believe collectivist thought under a “Democratic Socialism” ideology would best serve the nation and world. James C. Lewis’s research has revealed that these Marxists fail to grasp they are being manipulated by a force whose ultimate goal is not socialism at all, but a totalitarian ideology under the misleading title of “New World Order.” But, this goal is not merely for the United States but will cover the entire world. Lewis’s research reveals that many events that are occurring today, such as the COVID-19 virus, the coming activation of the 5G network, Islamic terrorism, the “Deep State” or “shadow government,” failing countries, millions of displaced “refugees,” even the Progressive movement, are all calculated to destabilize the Western world enough that the “remedial” outcome will allow those NWO forces to take over and usher in a one-government world. My goal is to expose all of this so the American people get a full understanding that this is all very serious and dangerous to our very existence as a country and as a free people. Lewis, as a (retired) paralegal, spent his career in a field requiring careful legal and factual research, an understanding about human nature, criminal and constitutional law. He brings those skills to the research of this book.
