  Learn to search for the truth that’s out there in essays about what “may be the most philosophically challenging series in the history of television” (Paul A. Cantor, author of Gilligan Unbound: Pop Culture in the Age of Globalization).   In The Philosophy of The X-Files, Dean A. Kowalski has gathered a remarkable cast of contributors to shed light on the philosophical mysteries of the television show The X-Files. With sections devoted to the show’s credos—“The truth is out there,” “Trust no one,” and “I want to believe” —as well as individual characters and specific episodes, The Philosophy of The X-Files illuminates the philosophical assumptions and presuppositions of the show and provides a lively, accessible way to better understand philosophy and philosophical inquiry—while exploring topics ranging from alienation to determinism to democracy.

  “Rock readers from Ohio and beyond will enjoy this quick and informative read” covering bands from the Breeders to the Black Keys and more (Library Journal). From Cleveland to Cincinnati and everywhere in between, Ohio rocks. Rebels and Underdogs: The Story of Ohio Rock and Roll takes readers behind the scenes to the birth and rise of musical legends like the Black Keys, Nine Inch Nails, Devo, the Breeders, Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders, and many others who started in garages and bars across Ohio. Through candid first-hand interviews, Garin Pirnia captures new, unheard stories from national legends like the Black Keys and slow-burn local bands like Wussy from Cincinnati. Discover why Greenhornes’ members Patrick Keeler and Brian Olive almost killed each other on stage one night, what happened to the pink guitar Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails gave to band member Richard Patrick, why Devo loved the dissonance when they were booed by 400,000 music lovers in England, and so much more! Entertaining, inspiring, and revolutionary, Rebels and Underdogs is the untold story of the bands, the state, and rock itself.“Pirnia gives it a fine archaeologist’s try to plop meat all over the bones of one of rock ‘n’ roll’s unsung if inarguably most important locales.” —Eric Davidson, singer in New Bomb Turks and author of We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut“[An] exceptional book, an account satisfyingly comprehensive, but driven by the instincts and ardor of a true devotee.” —David Giffels, author of Barnstorming Ohio

  A treasury of photos, drawings, and reminiscences recounting the history and culture of the annual New Orleans extravaganza. This pictorial study recounts the history of Carnival in New Orleans, bringing to life in text and more than 160 photographs and drawings—many of them old and rare—the color, the pulse, and the pageantry that have earned this annual extravaganza its distinction as “the greatest free show on earth.” Tracing the evolution of Carnival from its modest beginnings, the book covers:  Lavish balls during the American regime under Governor William C.C. Claiborne  The first masked parade in 1837  The first torchlight parade by the Mystick Krewe of Comus in 1857  The coming of Rex and Momus in 1872  Participation of royalty, including Alexis, Grand Duke of Russia, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor  The fiercely anti-Republican themes during the bitter years of Reconstruction  Modern innovations and the establishment of new krewes  Creation of the Rex doubloon in 1960, and more  As a bonus, recipes are also included—so you can get a little taste of Mardi Gras any day of the year.

  Creative Mind

  This little book is an attempt to explain what each soul must discover for himself, that he stands in the midst of an eternal creative power which presses itself around his own thought, and casts back to him glorified all that he thinks. If it awakens within the consciousness of one single individual the realization that the mind of the Universal (which is the only mind that there is) is his own mind that the creative power of this mind is his also; that the manifestation of this mind is his own individuality; that the love and power and peace of this mind is within himself, it will not be written in vain. May it then do much in simplifying and bringing to light some of the deeper mysteries and meanings of life. (Ernest Shurtleff Holmes)
