Sinopse

Underground Comics delves into the history of a bold art movement that challenged societal norms through independent comics. Emerging from the counterculture of the mid-20th century, these comics became a potent form of social commentary and free expression. They tackled controversial subjects like sex, drugs, and politics, pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling and artistic innovation.

 
One intriguing aspect is how these comics reflected the anxieties and aspirations of an era marked by significant social and political upheaval. Another is their role in paving the way for greater diversity and experimentation in mainstream comics.

 
The book uniquely emphasizes the artistic and narrative innovations of underground comics, distinguishing itself from studies that primarily focus on the movement's social and political aspects. It begins by introducing key figures and publications, then explores recurring themes and unique artistic styles.

 
By analyzing the graphic imagery, satirical humor, and experimental storytelling, Underground Comics assesses the lasting impact of this movement on mainstream and independent art, as well as popular culture. The book draws on original comics, interviews, and critical essays to provide an in-depth analysis.

black girl no magic: Reflections...

Kimberly McIntosh

'This book is a glowing achievement by one of the best essayists of her generation' Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff
‘Witty, fresh and full of life’ Liv Little
Kimberly McIntosh has lived a full life, with a loving family, messy friendships, mind-expanding travel and all-night parties. She’s also spent that life wondering why such opportunities aren’t always available to people who look like her.
Stemming from years of social policy research and campaign work, this essay collection brings together all that Kimberly has learned; whether that’s dismantling the myth of social mobility for those who toe the line, to understanding why her teenage Facebook posts are quite so cringe. In it, she uses her own experiences to reveal how systematic injustice impacts us all, from the pressure of nuclear families, to enduring toxic friendships, to how painful it can be to watch Love Island.
Perfect for fans of Slay In Your Lane, Trick Mirror, and Bad Feminist, this dazzling debut collection brilliantly melds the personal and political to not only tell the story of a life, but what that life might teach us.
In Black Girl, No Magic, Kimberly McIntosh masterfully weaves her autobiography with a sharp critique of media and internet culture, highlighting the stark realities of relationships in the digital age. Her memoirs, filled with humour and wit, are a top pick for fans of non-fiction essays and collections.
For fans of Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love), and Kenny Imafidon (That Peckham Boy).

Bricks that Build Us Book 1 -...

Robin Howat

We live in a time of increasing conflict due to ignorance, lack of self-discipline and polarization. Just look at what happened in recent events at the White House! Other examples are the Covid Tanker blockade, destructive rioting in cities, hospitals coming under siege, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.... all were and are avoidable. 
Staple Society results from succeeding constructive and protective concepts meeting obligations which generally follow traditions aimed at accepted common responsibilities. 
Rob Howat discusses and explores these social building blocks in these four books with facts and examples. He shows that for society and the law to work responsibilities must be fulfilled before meaningful rights can follow. He suggests the ongoing need for calm discussion, research and reviews, an aim for balance, and well-understood and universally agreed 'ground rules' for educational pursuits. 
The best time to open calm discussions with a goal to start building change is now, using constructive philosophy, logic, and religious proven wisdom. This set of books will greatly simplify and assist in building that deeper informed debate.

Thunder over the Desert

Peter Mageros

Filmmakers and footsloggers! It's not often you hear these two words together, but they perfectly capture the story of Australia's film industry revealed in this compelling book. Since the early 20th century, Australia's local screen industry has fought a fierce battle against the overwhelming dominance of Hollywood, striving to keep homegrown feature films on Australian cinema screens. This is a story of resilience and cultural pride, where the struggles of the nation's filmmakers have been metaphorically aligned with the heroic narrative of the Anzac soldier. Much like the first Anzacs at Gallipoli – heroes even in the face of devastating defeat – Australia's cinema has a celebrated history of seeing itself as valiant, even when the odds were stacked against it. Peter Mageros delves into the deep historical connections between myth and cinema, exploring how filmmakers such as Longford, Chauvel, Weir, and Beresford have drawn inspiration from the iconic images of the Diggers on screen. The book reveals how the theme of the 'heroic film industry' persists in contemporary times, with Australian filmmakers portrayed as 'going into the trenches' alongside the legendary soldiers. This is a story of true heroism – not always one of triumphant conquest, but of unwavering determination to protect and preserve a uniquely Australian cinematic voice.

Meditations

Marcus Aurelius

Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from AD 161 to 180, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. 
Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes reveal that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron in Slovakia) and the second book was written at Carnuntum. 
It is unlikely that Marcus Aurelius ever intended the writings to be published. The work has no official title, so "Meditations" is one of several titles commonly assigned to the collection. These writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs.
