Synopsis

In "Afoot in England," W. H. Hudson embarks on a lyrical and contemplative exploration of the English landscape through the eyes of a passionate naturalist and keen observer. Richly descriptive prose invites readers into the green tapestry of the English countryside, where Hudson's reflections on nature merge with philosophical musings. This work is not merely a travelogue; it promotes a profound sense of reverence for the natural world and critiques the encroachment of modernity. Positioned within the literary context of the late 19th century, Hudson's narrative resonates with the Romantic tradition while also foreshadowing the burgeoning conservation movement. W. H. Hudson, an Argentine-born writer educated in England, possessed an innate curiosity about botany and ornithology that infuses his narrative. His experiences growing up amidst the flora and fauna of the Pampas eventually led him to England, where he found inspiration in the rural landscapes and wildlife. Hudson's diverse background and education illuminated his observations, intertwining personal significance with broader ecological concerns, making his writings both reflective and socially aware. This book is a must-read for anyone who appreciates the intersections of travel, nature, and literary beauty. Hudson's evocative prose will resonate with readers seeking an immersive experience in the English countryside, offering not only a journey through picturesque settings but also an invitation to reflect on humanity's relationship with nature.

Goldeneye 007

Alyse Knorr

Bond—James Bond. In the 80s and 90s, the debonair superspy's games failed to live up to the giddy thrills of his films. That all changed when British studio Rare unleashed GoldenEye 007 in 1997. In basements and college dorms across the world, friends bumped shoulders while shooting, knifing, exploding, and slapping each other's digital faces in the Nintendo 64 game that would redefine the modern first-person shooter genre and become the most badass party game of its generation. 
 
 
  
But GoldenEye's success was far from a sure thing. For years of development, GoldenEye's team of rookie developers were shooting in the dark with no sense of what the N64 or its controller would be like, and the game's relentless violence horrified higher-ups at squeaky clean Nintendo. As development lagged far behind the debut of the tie-in film GoldenEye, the game nearly came out an entire Bond movie too late. 
 
 
  
Through extensive interviews with GoldenEye's creators, writer and scholar Alyse Knorr traces the story of how this unlikely licensed game reinvigorated a franchise and a genre. Learn all the stories behind how this iconic title was developed, and why GoldenEye 007 has continued to kick the living daylights out of every other Bond game since.
