Author and streamer Travis I. Sivart brings you a primer for streaming on Twitch.tv covering more than just technicals, and instead giving you insight into image, content, how to gain an audience, and how to keep your viewers coming back for more. Travis started doing live, interactive street theater in 1990, went to broadcasting school in 2003, created his first podcast in 2007, changed to live internet pirate radio in 2012, and began live streaming in 2017. Since he published his first book in 2013, he's been a guest speaker at dozens of conventions, and has done numerous live broadcasts. The point of all that is; He knows a bit about presentation and interacting with the public in an entertainment role. One of the main points Travis wants streamers to remember is, "Something that always goes with having fun is to be yourself. People would rather watch someone awkward who's having fun, than a professional being miserable. That’s a truth that you can bank on."Ver livro
English/Canadian indie musician Tamara Williamson offers an unbridled account of a life in the world of horses. From her first clever little bay pony, Stroller, to brilliant ribbon-winning Fletcher, Tamara Williamson recalls the many significant horses in her life, grappling with what it means to be horse-obsessed and what drives this desire to connect with horses. As Williamson discovers, during the tumultuous years of relationships with people and horses, these complicated equine creatures reflect back to us our best and worst selves. Woven throughout the stories of individual horses in Williamson’s life is her own story of a creative, chaotic, challenging and adventurous life. Raised by an eccentric family, with a distant mother who disappeared into alcoholism and a charismatic father who left one sunny morning with a younger woman, Williamson struggles with dyslexia and a sense of increasing detachment. Horses, and the exacting sport of dressage, provide her with opportunities to connect, sometimes imperfectly. Her drive for accomplishment in equestrian sports, whether as a trainer or a rider, is regularly at odds with the fear that lingers from a traumatic childhood riding accident. While reckoning with the financial and psychological expense of training and competition, and with the multitude of industries that benefit from horses, Williamson never loses sight of the enormous burden of responsibility she feels toward horses and the respect she has for their individual characters, memories and instincts. On the surface, The Mirror Horse is a book about horses—but beyond the bridles and braided manes, Williamson crafts a complex story about courage, family, and the unexpected places where we find a reflection of our souls: As a rider you can confuse yourself with being the teacher, but horses are constantly showing us something important. They are holding up a mirror.Ver livro

Ever wondered how “factory farms” came to be, why chicken nuggets were invented, or where the idea of feeding hormones and antibiotics to livestock came from in the first place? The Price of Plenty offers answers that may surprise you, in a compulsively readable and distinctly American tale of abundance, invention, and exceptionalism. Historian Maureen Ogle unfolds the good, the bad, and the ugly behind the nation’s meat-making infrastructure, from colonial cattle wars to the rise of Swift, Armour, and Tyson to today’s alt-cuisine. Tracing consumer desires, profit motives, and policy imperatives, this absorbing narrative shows how an insatiable appetite for meat carved America’s landscape and identity. When white Europeans arrived in North America, the abundance of land enabled meat consumption on a scale unheard of in the Old World. There, an average European was lucky to see meat once a week, while even a poor American consumed about two hundred pounds a year. The panoramic story of how we got from that meat-eater’s paradise to the complexities and contradictions of today is told here through a wide range of sources and records – forming an indispensable guide to the American way of meat and its unexpected consequences.Ver livro
