Resident Evil

Philip J Reed

Now a sprawling video game franchise, Resident Evil has kept us on the edge of our seats for decades with its tried-and-true brand of jump scares, zombie action, and biological horror. But even decades after its release, we can't stop revisiting the original's thrills, chills, and sometimes unintentional spills. 
 
  
 
Pop culture writer and horror cinephile Philip J Reed takes dead aim at 1996's Resident Evil, the game that named and defined the genre we now call "survival horror." While examining Resident Evil's influences from the worlds of film, literature, and video games alike, Reed's love letter to horror examines how the game's groundbreaking design and its atmospheric fixed-cam cinematography work to thrill and terrify players—and why that terror may even be good for you. 
 
 
 
Featuring a foreword from Troma Entertainment legend Lloyd Kaufman and new interviews with the game's voice actors and its live-action cast, the book serves as the master of unlocking the behind-the-scenes secrets of Resident Evil, and shows how even a game filled with the most laughable dialogue can still scare the pants off of you.

Pollution - The Environmental...

Marcus Klein

Pollution is a pervasive and urgent global issue that affects every corner of the planet, from the air we breathe to the water we drink and the land we depend on for survival. Over the past century, the rapid pace of industrialization, urbanization, and population growth has contributed significantly to environmental degradation. What was once seen as the price of progress has now become a formidable challenge that threatens the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems alike.
The scope of pollution is vast and multifaceted. It encompasses a wide range of pollutants, including chemicals, plastics, heavy metals, and greenhouse gases, which infiltrate the air, water, and soil. While air pollution from vehicle emissions and industrial activities poses immediate health risks, water pollution contaminates vital freshwater resources, threatening marine ecosystems and human livelihoods. Land pollution, driven by improper waste disposal and deforestation, further exacerbates the crisis by depleting soil fertility and destroying habitats. Together, these forms of pollution create a complex web of environmental and health hazards that demand immediate attention.
Human health is intricately tied to the environment, making pollution a direct and indirect cause of numerous diseases and conditions. Respiratory ailments, cardiovascular issues, and neurological disorders are increasingly linked to exposure to polluted air and toxic chemicals. Vulnerable populations, such as children and low-income communities, bear a disproportionate burden of these impacts, amplifying social inequalities. Beyond physical health, the psychological toll of living in a degraded environment adds another layer of complexity to the crisis.
