Synopsis

"Lucasfilm Games What" uncovers the remarkable evolution of George Lucas's pioneering venture into interactive entertainment, chronicling how a small experimental group transformed into a powerhouse of gaming innovation between 1982 and 1990. The book reveals how this unique division, positioned at the intersection of Hollywood and Silicon Valley, revolutionized both the film and gaming industries through groundbreaking technological advancements and creative storytelling approaches.

 
Through meticulous research and firsthand accounts, the narrative explores three fundamental aspects: technological breakthroughs like the innovative iMUSE sound system and early 3D graphics, the development of iconic games such as Ballblazer and The Secret of Monkey Island, and the creative processes that successfully merged filmmaking principles with game development.

 
The chronological journey begins with the formation of the Games Group, progresses through the golden age of adventure games, and concludes with the transition to LucasArts. Drawing from previously unreleased company archives and extensive interviews, the book demonstrates how Lucasfilm Games' position within a film company fostered unique approaches to interactive storytelling and technical innovation.

 
It balances technical detail with engaging storytelling, making complex concepts accessible while maintaining historical accuracy. This comprehensive examination serves both as a historical document and a practical resource for game developers, film professionals, and technology enthusiasts interested in the evolution of interactive entertainment.

    In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, trust in the healthcare system seems to be at an all-time low. Conspiracy theories are now mainstream, and distrust of government health agencies is common among private citizens. Yet many of those same individuals still profess trust in their doctors. What, then, is driving the general mistrust in medicine, and how can the public's faith be restored? 
     
     
     
    The Anatomy of Deception investigates the cause behind this seeming uptick in distrust by tracing the unexpected connection between medical mistrust and the move toward far right ideology in the United States. Drawing on personal qualitative research and interviews, health writer and expert Sara Gorman challenges traditional concepts of medical mistrust and argues that the loss of institutional trust in American health care signals a larger breakdown in democracy as a whole. In six short chapters, Gorman advances the idea of medical mistrust not as a byproduct of personal or historical abuses but as a direct result of bias, miscommunication, and lack of access that has slowly eroded trust in the public health system over time. She argues that we can build back trust in medicine through investments in health equity as a first step towards healing the schisms present in modern American society.

    Renowned neurologist Dr. Russell Surasky reveals a precise and breakthrough medical treatment for opioid addiction. 
      
    The book you’re holding in your hands contains the answers that can save your life, the life of a loved one, or—if you’re a doctor—the life of your patient. 
      
    In the time it takes you to read this paragraph, another person will have died from opioid addiction. The opioid epidemic is taking the lives of nearly two hundred Americans each day. Everyone is now just one degree of separation from the deadly scourge of opioid addiction—either you are suffering or someone close to you is. Fentanyl, the deadliest of all opioids, has now flooded into every town in America. Recent discoveries in the field of neuroscience have proven that addiction is a neurological brain disease, not a psychological problem or a moral failure. It is a treatable, chronic medical illness that involves complex interactions between genetics, exposure to addictive substances, and ultimately, the hijacking of specific brain circuitry. With this new information, scientists have created breakthrough medical treatments that can help heal the brain from addiction—and finally unchain those suffering from this deadly affliction. 
      
    In This Book Will Save Your Life, Dr. Russell Surasky clearly explains these precise new life-saving treatments and how you or your loved one can access them immediately. Active opioid addiction is a medical emergency that—without treatment—is virtually always fatal. The information in this book could save your life and the lives of those you love, forever. 
      
    “This is a pointed and urgent challenge not just for those suffering addiction, but for all of us who care about the dignity of the human person and sacredness of human life. Sure, there’s a lot of bad news about addiction, but there’s a lot of good news as well. My friend Dr. Russell Surasky gives us hope for a culture of recovery.”—Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York

    A memoir from the writer of BENT with a foreword by Ian McKellen
    Sherman takes us on a journey through America in the mid twentieth century, starting in New Jersey – where he was born in the 1930s to a Jewish immigrant family – ending on Broadway with the premier of his seminal play Bent starring Richard Gere. On route, we encounter other famous performers including Meryl Streep, Bee Gees, Joan Baez, but the scene-stealing character is always his father – a charismatic narcissist who might have given Trump a run for his money. We stop off in Woodstock, Los Angeles and London – a city Martin would eventually make home; he relays his story with self-depreciating humour as he struggles to make it in theatre, with his sexuality, and under the shadow of the inheritable disease that killed his mother tragically early – a disease from which he finds himself finally free, as he turns forty in the book's closing pages.
    
    "As in his plays, Martin Sherman writes here of complexity with simplicity, of the hidden with utter candour. A fascinating and brilliant example of what a memoir ought to be."—ALAN CUMMING
    "Most shove childhood memories into the recesses of forgetfulness, while others gather each detail like colours in a paint box and use them to create. We call those folks artists. Martin Sherman is such a creature. Within these pages you will find his painterly application of memories, fashioning a masterwork of experiences for us to enjoy."—HARVEY FIERSTEIN
    "Absolutely mesmerising and so fantastically well written that I wish Martin Sherman had written novels as well as plays and screenplays"—STEPHEN FRY
    "Completely absorbing and funny and sad and beautifully told—a real treat and an extraordinary story—what a life."—IAN HISLOP
    "One Hell of a ride. Profound, witty, beautifully written and difficult to forget."—HUGH JACKMAN
    "This memoir is astounding. I'm reading it a second time."—VANESSA REDGRAVE
    "A volume filled with moving, entertaining and fascinating memories, by one of our great stage and screen writers."—PETER TATCHELL
    "On the Boardwalk is full of audacity and joyfulness, jokes and tears, it blew my mind, as it will blow yours." – PETE TOWNSHEND
    "He writes like Philip Roth—but even funnier."—RUBY WAX
