“Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound . . . It’s Superman!” Bending Steel examines the historical origins and cultural significance of Superman and his fellow American crusaders. Cultural historian Aldo J. Regalado asserts that the superhero seems a direct response to modernity, often fighting the interrelated processes of industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and capitalism that transformed the United States from the early nineteenth century to the present. Reeling from these exciting but rapid and destabilizing forces, Americans turned to heroic fiction as a means of explaining national and personal identities to themselves and to the world. In so doing, they created characters and stories that sometimes affirmed, but other times subverted conventional notions of race, class, gender, and nationalism.

The cultural conversation articulated through the nation’s early heroic fiction eventually led to a new heroic type―the brightly clad, super-powered, pro-social action heroes that first appeared in American comic books starting in the late 1930s. Although indelibly shaped by the Great Depression and World War II sensibilities of the second-generation immigrants most responsible for their creation, comic book superheroes remain a mainstay of American popular culture.

Tracing superhero fiction all the way back to the nineteenth century, Regalado firmly bases his analysis of dime novels, pulp fiction, and comics in historical, biographical, and reader response sources. He explores the roles played by creators, producers, and consumers in crafting superhero fiction, ultimately concluding that these narratives are essential for understanding vital trajectories in American culture.

Review

“Aldo Regalado offers fresh insight into the origins of the American superhero. In particular he traces how the interconnected racial and gendered concerns embodied in superheroes played out in the early years of comic books. The depth of scholarship and the quality of writing are top notch and this will be a go-to work for scholars in the field.”

―Ian Gordon, associate professor of history at the National University of Singapore, author of Comic Strips and Consumer Culture, and coeditor of Film and Comic Books (University Press of Mississippi)

“Much discussion of the superhero figure focuses on what superheroes are, who wrote, drew, published, and read them, when and where, and even how the market, legal, and cultural conditions of the New York publishing world laid the groundwork for the creation of the superhero genre, but rarely do scholars address the most difficult question of why the superhero arose specifically in late Depression-era urban America. Regalado’s answer―a response to modernism and the superhero’s ongoing engagement with the changing nature of modernism and postmodernism in America―presents a cogent, deeply sensible, and convincing answer. Regalado takes into account consumers, creators, and producers of superhero comics and the conversation between them that shaped the genre’s ongoing response to modernism and its changes and discontents. This work is ever sensitive to the humanity, needs, drives, and concerns of those involved in the production and consumption of superhero narratives.”

―Peter Coogan, director of internal operations, Institute for Comics Studies

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. some familiar segments, but focus on modernity is insightful, other strong sections. Well recommended By B. Capossere Bending Steel: Modernity and the American Superhero, by Aldo J. Regaldo, is another entry in the getting-crowded field of cultural analysis of superheroes/comics. I can’t say Regaldo offers a lot that is new here, especially in some of the examinations of specific well-plumbed comics, but Bending Steel still has a lot to offer as it is a well-organized, clearly and often sharply written exploration of the topic with lucid, thoughtful points well supported by frequent concrete examples.The focus, as the title states, is on “modernity” and what the superhero genre tells us about the cultural response to it. He opens by defining his terms, with modernity described as “the allegedly more liberalizing arrangements that found expression through rationalism, capitalism, representative government, technological innovation, industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and the rise of modern societies.” This was, as he says, a lengthy process, and his book is organized around its various changing phases:• Market Modernity: the rapid development that occurred during the nineteenth century• Industrial Modernity: which saw its fullest expression in the years leading to WWII• Atomic Modernity: modernity’s suburban, Cold War phase• Postmodernity: the period from 1980 to the presentWhile the superhero as we think of him/her did not arise until the Industrial stage, when Superman leapt onto the stage of Action Comics, Regaldo sees the nineteenth century’s “heroic fiction,” as exemplified particularly by James Fennimore Cooper’s Natty Bumpo, as an important precursor stage, both for how they helped define the contours of modernity but also helped set the boundaries for later heroic fiction, including the genre spawned by Superman:The Man of Tomorrow began his career confined in a cultural cage forged from the stuff of nineteenth and early twentieth-century heroic archetypes, and ideologies regarding race, class, gender, and nationalism are counted among its bars.If Superman, however, was born in a cage formed of the prior century’s worldview, Regaldo is quick to point out that it is difficult, as many a villain has learned, to keep a good superhero down:Superman, however, was originally imagined by young men who stood at the margins of society. Consequently, he struggles against his cultural confines, promising to overcome them just has he bends steel with his bare handsThis sense of a push-pull appears regularly throughout Regaldo’s exploration. For instance, in his first section, he contrasts Cooper’s “triumphalist” views of heroism and modernity with those of writers working the American Gothic form, who suggest that the nation was doomed as a consequence of the violence and corruption that accompanied slavery, westward expansion and other unsavory aspects of America’s modern enterprise. He points as well to the increasing popularity of dime novel writers, who created working-class heroes that openly challenged the legitimacy of elites.Most authors who look into the superhero antecedents begin with the pulp heroes such as Doc Savage and The Shadow, so it was a bit refreshing to have Regaldo not only go back further in time but also explore the impact of literary fiction, which far too often is treated as if it was wholly separate from the hero/superhero world (even today). And while Natty Bumpo seems a relatively direct connection in terms of heroism and “derring-do,” I found Regaldo’s analysis of the American Gothic’s (particularly Poe’s) conflicting narrative (especially on masculinity) and the impact of the dime novels such as Deadwood Dick with their focus on working class views newly insightful.In section two, dealing with Industrial Modernity, Regaldo focuses his attention of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter and Tarzan characters, both of whom presented an imaginative escape from modern urban society . . . a rejection of cities, technology, bureaucracy, and business culture, as well as a celebration of white, male Anglo-Saxonism over ‘others’ defined by gender, class, race, and ethnicity. Lovecraft is another focus of this segment, a contrasting one as he views modernity through a different prism, though like Burroughs he too is blinkered by his racist views (some of the quotes will make you want to shower)The superhero proper makes his/her appearance in chapters three and four as Regaldo covers the cultural transition to heroes like Superman, Wonder Woman, and others who tackled modernity head on … accepting the city as a reality of modern life and treating the industrial landscape as a space to play in and triumph over. One of the big shifts here as well was in the creators, who came no of different immigrant and ethnic backgrounds (especially Jewish at this point), which as Regaldo points out, informed the ways they engaged the use of race in crafting heroic identities. He doesn’t exaggerate this broadening, however, explaining how whiteness remained operative in superhero fiction … failing to bend the bars that confined women in cages of sexism and objectification.Here is where we start to move into well-traveled territory, and while Regaldo’s cultural analysis is always incisive, much of the base information, such as how Superman was created, will be pretty familiar to those with more than a passing knowledge of comics history. The same is true of some of the more basic analysis, such as idea of Superman as an “immigrant” or the contrasts between Superman and Batman.Chapter Five covers the anti-comics crusade, rooted in the ethos of an atomic modernity in which the suburban home was thought of as a vanguard against internal and external threats. Here, Regaldo I thought does an excellent job in not simply covering the crusade itself, but offering up perhaps the most balanced presentation of the face of that crusade, Fredric Werther, that I’ve ever seen. Too often presented as a near-caricature of villainy, prudishness, and conservative paranoia, here Regaldo begins by making clear that Werther came out of a very socially liberal mindset, detailing for instance his career-long stance against racism not just in the arts but in real life, as when he used his own money to fund a affordable clinic in Harlem. I greatly appreciated this more full view of Werther, even if some of his well-known attacks on comics, such as the homoerotic influence of Batman/Robin on children, remain so laughably over the top from our modern sensibility. This chapter, even if moving through well-covered ground, is nicely detailed, offering up a slew of quotations rather than putting words in critics’ mouths. He also does a nice job of detailing the impact of the anti-comic crusade beyond the obvious imposition of the Comics Code.The big shift in the 1960’s led by Marvel’s introduction of not just a new cast of superheroes but a whole new type and style, one which captured the alienation that Americans felt in Cold War America [and] responded to the countercultural movements of the 1960s, is the focus of chapter six. Although again, Regaldo doesn’t exaggerate this more “transgressive” kind of superhero, acknowledging that Marvel’s corporate/business needs allowed them to only go so far so as not to offend the market. Toward the end of this chapter, he examines how Marvel’s wholly different type of superhero itself evolved into a superhero with a postmodern sensibility characterized by fluidity, plasticity, alienation, freedom, and a free reign of possibility . . . [and] increasingly cynical … expressing disgust and disdain for the meta-narratives of American society. Here is brings in Alan Moore and David Gibson’s Watchmen (how could he not?) and Frank Miller, particularly The Dark Knight Returns. Once again, I can’t say there is a lot new here in this section, from Stan Lee’s early influence in the creation of The Fantastic Four, The Hulk, Spider Man and their accordant contrast to earlier heroes to Moore’s deconstruction of the genre. But if there’s nothing new (and to be fair, it would be tough to add much new to ground that has been so stomped over), it is all handled quickly, efficiently, and clearly, and the points and connection being made are hard to argue with. The most original section in here, and my favorite details, involve an examination of the shifting presentation of the Black Panther and how those shifts mirror what is happening in the wider culture with regard to race.Regaldo closes with some reference to the explosion of superhero-related media, but doesn’t go into much detail, which is too bad as based on the clarity and insight of the book, I would have liked to have seen him tackle film and games in much more detail in terms of what they say about the post-post modern sensibility. But perhaps that’s for another book. This one, however, serves just fine and makes for an easy recommendation.(originally appeared on fantasyliterature.com)

29 of 30 people found the following review helpful. If you only want to use one book, this is it By David C. This is obviously the must-have book to prepare for your SWE/SDE interview. I have some small quibbles with how some of the problems were worded, but the level of difficulty is very representative of what the big tech companies are using. You might even run into these questions in your own interviews since Gayle is choosing questions that are popular among interviewers today. If you have time, you should of course pick up an algorithms textbook also. I recommend Skiena's The Algorithm Design Manual and Sedgewick's Algorithms (4th Edition) textbooks. The classic Cormen is too verbose and proof-heavy for the purposes of preparing for an interview.The DP solutions in this book are not actually tabular DP formulations--I recommend looking at the problems here http://people.cs.clemson.edu/~bcdean/dp_practice/ (Brian Dean's Dynamic Programming Practice Problems). Gayle presents memoized solutions, which are much easier conceptually but not as clean or performant as bottoms-up tabular solutions.

36 of 39 people found the following review helpful. Great but needs a kindle/ebook format By mtn rider This book helped me land a job at well known internet company. I got several offers and without doubt this book helped. The specific coding questions that I would have failed outright on had I not read the book include: breadth first search/shortest path, fundamentals of hash tables, and recursion (fibonacci). Before reading this book I thought I understood recursion but there's a lot I hadn't considered. I worked through many of the code exercises and would review some of the chapters before interviews, including big-O. There are some areas that I feel deserve more attention, like heaps, but overall it covers most of the fundamentals. There are some typos which I found annoying.The only reason I can't give 5 stars is this should be available in a ebook format. I don't buy physical books anymore since it's just a pain to lug around/store and as a result, they are often forgotten. And I've loaned this book to so many people they're really losing money buy not offering it on Kindle, which I would not be able to share.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Nice but could improve little more By shawnkoon Pretty Great book. However, I wish There was more explanation for each problems instead of just giving us their solution. I think I would learn better if they made me understand what the question was actually asking instead of trying to figure out what question is actually asking by looking at the solution first.. However, The book itself contains a lot of information

Myanmar, as Burma is now known, is strategically situated between the world’s two most populous nations—China and India—and its distinctive ancient culture shares some traditions with both countries. Hidden away from the eyes of the world for half a century by its military rulers’ policy of self-isolation, “the Burmese Way to Socialism,” with a new democratic parliament and civilian government Myanmar is undergoing important changes as it approaches its next elections in 2015. Its most famous political detainee, Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel peace laureate, has been released after nearly twenty years of house arrest. The present administration faces teething problems in politics, governance, education, its dealings with over a hundred ethnic groups, and its society. At the same time, progress has been made with the emergence of a free press, the release of political prisoners, and the reemergence of the long-lost voice of the man and woman on the street. The country is opening up to tourism and business.   The Burmese people are by nature friendly and polite, and are traditionally easy-going and peaceable. Most are devout Buddhists, and there are pagodas and meditation centers all over the country. They are also great lovers of fun, entertainments, and festivals—in fact, there is a festival for each Myanmar calendar month   Culture Smart! Myanmar provides much needed information about a country taking its first steps to becoming an important player on the world stage. It offers invaluable insights into the inner life of the Burmese, their history, traditions, attitudes, and work ethic, and gives practical advice on what to expect and how to behave in different circumstances. While their hosts may be naturally polite and accommodating, foreign visitors will have to go through a steep learning curve to understand the dos and don’ts of Burmese social customs. This book serves as an essential guide for Western tourists and entrepreneurs who are interested in visiting or doing business in this beautiful, enigmatic, and resource-rich country.

By David Harr “Myanmar – Culture Smart” is not a “see-this-go-there-stay-here” sort of guidebook. Nor is it one of those quick-read “Do’s and Don’ts” pamphlets aimed at a business traveler. If you are seriously going to interact cross-culturally – in business, as a government official, working with an NGO, or as an individual – a “by-the-numbers” approach only goes so far, and sometimes can get you into trouble. Sooner or later, you will need a greater understanding of the society with which you are working. This is especially true with a country which is changing as dramatically as Myanmar is. You need a grounding in societal fundamentals.“Myanmar – Culture Smart” provides a basis for this sort of understanding. In keeping with the theme of the Culture Smart series, it not only offers a grounding in Myanmar culture (in the broad sense), but weaves in many insightful perspectives. As an American who has been involved in Myanmar and watched other English-speakers work with Myanmar for over thirty years, I strongly recommend this book. Read and re-read it as you start and develop your relationships with Myanmar. I expect that sooner, rather than later, you will find an “Aha! Moment” in which you say “that’s what the book said . . . now I understand.”

It's cultural guide, so if you're looking for travel information, e.g. where to stay, eat and what to see etc. this is not the book that you need. Regarding the book itself, the cultural information that is provided is sparse. A little bit of Myanmar's history but nothing about art, music etc.

Free Ebook Online Living With Parkinson's, by Robert K. Zimmerman Ed. D.

When anyone is diagnosed with a long term, chronic, and debilitating disease such as Parkinson’s disease, it can be devastating. The uncertainty of the future can be extremely difficult to deal with. This book is meant to share one family’s experience with Parkinson’s. This book is not a medical treatise but rather a book filled with suggestions that will help the reader cope with the disease over a long period of time. The most important lesson I learned from having the disease for 26 years is to keep a positive mental attitude. This book also discusses deep brain stimulation surgery and how the surgery helped me. The book covers the whole 26 years my family has lived with Parkinson’s disease. Proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit the Parkinson's Disease Foundation's research programs. Dr. Zimmerman earned his doctorate in special education from the University of Cincinnati. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1988 when he was 42 years old. He was the superintendent of a county board of Mental Retardation. He was able to work for the next 16 years until his retirement in 2004. He retired when he was 58 years old at which time he was diagnosed with cancer. He has spent his retirement volunteering at the local hospital and various other organizations. He has been trained as a Research Advocate for the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation. He lives with his wife and they are the parents of 6 independent children.

Not qualities you see in all new books and/or movies. I have had the privilege of knowing Dr. Zimmerman and his family when he discovered he had Parkinson's at a young age. And' the fear that ensued when he found the writings on this topic were very limited for younger men and women. And the results nearly always negative. As the book points out he took the disease as a challenge; and challenge it he did. And outstanding book on a tough subject. My hat is off to Bob and his family on the writing of this book.

Jim Henson’s creations have inspired generations with characters that are among the world’s most recognizable cultural icons. From Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and their Muppet friends to the legendary Sesame Street and Children’s Television Workshop, Henson revolutionized children’s educational entertainment. Combining live action and puppeteering into fantastical narratives like The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, as well as the whimsical Fraggle Rock and The Storyteller, Henson transformed imagination into reality, weaving together powerful philosophical messages on identity, community, diversity, love, death, and friendship. Henson never shied away from exploring deep questions, nor did he underestimate the ability of children (or adults) to grapple with profound philosophical questions. Jim Henson and Philosophy explores the entertaining and educational world of the genius’s creations, revealing what it is about Henson’s world that has touched us so deeply and improved our lives in such meaningful ways.Contributions by: Lauren Ashwell, Kimberly Baltzer-Jaray, David R. Burns, Samantha Brennan, Amanda Cawston, Brooke Covington, Christopher M. Culp, Ryan Cox, Natalie M. Fletcher, Victoria Hubbell, Dena Hurst, Christopher Ketcham, S.

Jim Henson and Philosophy: Imagination and the Magic of MayhemFrom Rowman & Littlefield Publishers

Review I was privileged to work alongside Jim Henson and experience his philosophy in practice. To be there was to be in an ever deepening, ever more connective family that embraced the whole world. There are very few true visionaries, but Jim Henson stood alongside the greatest of them. Jim Henson and Philosophy is a perfect guide to the mind of a man who celebrated the fragmentary uniqueness of us all, and showed how we, fragmented as we are, could be reconciled into a world that is whole and connected. The authors explore the philosophical soul of Jim Henson, revealing his complex vision with words both eloquent and funny, and revealing insights into his world both poignant and absurd. Of the many philosophical ideas of Jim, the one I appreciated the most was when in the middle of a long, creative meeting he would say, ”let’s go eat!” Well, this book is as good a philosophical feast as could be wished for, so bon appetit! (Brian Froud, founder of World of Froud, former colleague of Jim Henson)Whenever I think about the nature of humor, Jim Henson's Muppets come to mind. All of the elements of a philosophy of humor are present: irony, cognitive dissonance, hyperbole, and, of course, catharsis. This book contains chapters that take a serious look at humor and other ideas worthy of philosophical analysis found in Henson's works. (Robert Arp, independent researcher and editor of 1001 Ideas That Changed the Way We Think)I was always struck by how Jim would give me, and anyone and everyone, from leaders of the world to the janitor at the Muppets, his undivided and complete attention when they had a thought or idea they wanted to share… ‘Let’s think of an idea that will bring peace to the world in our lifetime.’ Maybe that was Jim’s philosophy boiled down to the essence. Totally unrealistic. Naive. Foolish... A valiant attempt toward world peace! (From the Foreword) (Craig Yoe, former creative director and manager of The Muppets)

About the Author Timothy M. Dale is an assistant professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse, where he teaches courses on political philosophy. He is coeditor of the collections Homer Simpson Ponders Politics: Popular Culture as Political Theory (2013) and Homer Simpson Marches on Washington: Dissent in American Popular Culture (2010).

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Muppets Deconstructed By Paul Moskowitz As a fan of the Muppets, I was pleased to find a pre-publication copy of this book at the BookExpo in New York City. “Jim Henson and Philosophy” is a collection of twenty one essays, which examine a variety of topics as seen in the light of the Muppets and Sesame Street. The academic essays come with footnotes, which are placed at the end of the book.The essays start with easy everyday subjects such as the feminism of Miss Piggy and the leadership style of Kermit. Soon the essays go into deeper subject matter: ethics and philosophy. Are Statler and Waldorf stand-ins for Plato and Aristotle? The meaning of Muppet reality is examined. Do the Muppets exist in their own fictional world or in our reality, the world of people, or do they cross the plains of reality?The collection of essays, which make up “Jim Henson and Philosophy” comprises a complete liberal arts education. I could have spent my college years watching the Muppets instead of going to classes. On second thought, perhaps that is what I did.

In this powerful and wonderfully accessible meditation on psychoanalysis, hermeneutics, and social constructivism, Donnel Stern explores the relationship between two fundamental kinds of experience: explicit verbal reflection and "unformulated experience," or experience we have not yet reflected on and put into words. Stern is especially concerned with the process by which we come to formulate the unformulated. It is not an instrumental task, he holds, but one that requires openness and curiosity; the result of the process is not accuracy alone, but experience that is deeply felt and fully imagined. Stern's sense of explicit verbal experience as continuously constructed and emergent leads to a central dialectic at the heart of his work: that between curiosity and imagination, on one hand, and dissociation and unthinking acceptance of the familiar on the other. The goal of psychoanalytic work, he holds, is the freedom to be curious, whereas defense signifies the denial of this freedom. We defend against our fear of what we would think, that is, if we allowed ourselves the freedom to think it.Stern also shows how the unconscious itself can be reconceptualized hermeneutically, and he goes on to explore the implications of this viewpoint on interpretation and countertransference. He is especially persuasive in showing how the interpersonal field, which is continuously in flux, limits the experience that it is possible for participants to reflect on. Thus it is that analyst and patient are together "caught in the grip of the field," often unable to see the kind of relatedness in which they are mutually involved.A brilliant demonstration of the clinical consequentiality of hermeneutic thinking, Unformulated Experience bears out Stern's belief that psychoanalysis is as much about the revelation of the new in experience as it is about the discovery of the old

Review

"Unformulated Experience is not the usual pastiche of poststructuralist and hermeneutical theories stuck onto psychoanalysis like so many bandaids.  Stern has evoked a magisterial, coherent theoretical frame of reference that places psychoanalysis (particularly post-Sullivanian interpersonalism) firmly within the postmodern critique of language; and he elaborates with great clarity and wonderfully frank vignettes the clinical implications of this position for contemporary psychoanalysis.  The book will surely find its audience among those interested in psychoanalytic theory and practice.  Even the most pragmatic clinician will find its clinical implications clarifying and useful.  Unformulated Experience is a major contribution."

- Edgar Levenson, M.D., William Alanson White Institute

"Unformulated Experience is a book of complexity, courage, and verve.  Donnel Stern combines Gadamer's hermeneutics and Sullivan'e interpersonal psychoanalysis in a move that separates him from the crowd of theorists who claim to integrate postmodern theory with psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.  By doing so, he is able to guide us in confronting, understanding, and treating some of the most puzzling phenomena in the field today, such as trauma, dissociation, and multiplicity.  Our ideas about memory, language, and the self will never be the same after this book - neither will our therapeutic practices nor our individual lives.  At long last, our profession has produced a book worthy of being linked with the best of modern hermeneutic thought.  Savor it."

- Philip Cushman, Ph.D., author, Constructing the Self, Constructing America

"Donnel Stern tackles issues that so often fall in the seams of psychoanalytic thought.  What kind of intentionality is there in the act of verbalization; in using one set of words rather than another; in actively but unconsciously avoiding certain sets of words, and with them, certain meanings?  To answer these and other challenging questions, Stern skillfully weaves together an extraordinary tapestry of ideas, drawing on philosophy, literature, psychoanalytic theory, and a rich array of clinical experiences.  For its brilliant illumination of issues that are fundamental to all clinical theory, and for its cogent, systematic development of the author's own constructivist viewpoint, imaginatively applied to the psychoanalytic situation, I believe this book will emerge as a landmark contribution to the field."

- Irwin Z. Hoffman, Ph.D., Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis

About the Author Donnel Stern, Ph.D., is Training and Supervising Analyst, William Alanson White Institute, and Faculty, NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis.  He is on the editorial boards of Psychoanalytic Dialogues, Psychoanalytic Inquiry and Psychoanalytic Psychology, and is the former editor of Contemporary Psychoanalysis.

46 of 52 people found the following review helpful. Breathtaking By whomi Stern has created an amazing, breathtaking, thorough, and convincing reinterpretation of the unconscious and the phenomena associated with it. He brings a deeply assimilated knowledge of Gadamer, James, Merleau-Ponty and other hermeneutic and phenomenological thinkers to bear on the perennial problem of unconsciousness. Although the first chapter of this book is a bit turgid, Stern soon gets in his groove and before one knows it is radically, joltingly, and astoundingly shifting one's root ways of understanding the unconscious. Stern moves the locus of the psychoanalytic unconscious from the realm of actuality to that of possibility, showing how motivated unconsciousness is not so much the elimination of an actual experience from consciousness as it is the shutting down of particular possibilities of experiencing. Unlike other phenomenological thinkers who have suggested this (May, Boss, etc.) Stern actually works out in a very meticulous and careful way how and why this sort of "shutdown" can happen. He clearly shows how our experience of possibilities is every bit as psychologically important- if not more so- as is our experience of actualities. And when we recognize this, our whole conception of psychoanalysis and the unconscious is turned upside-down! This book is a must read for all those interested in psychology and psychoanalysis. It is able to explain all those nagging, ambiguous, contradictory things about the unconscious that keep you awake late at night.

6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. A courageous journey into the conditiones of our existence By mahipal I wholeheartedly agree with what has been said so far about this book.Here is an intensely intelligent author who takes us in a meticulously detailed way into those hidden inner processes that need to be formulated if we want to escape the pull of the past and life our full potential.He has a gift to translate european hermeneutic theory (that seems almost to be formulated NOT to be understood) into a concrete common sense language.The result is a potent package designed to bring you a few steps further along the way in understanding yourself. And as Gadamer seems to have said: Understanding is ultimately always understanding YOURSELF.

There is sample code for 8 chapters and color images in PDF if you want them from the publisher. At the time of the books writing the engine version is 4.7.6 and now it is at version 4.9.x. That is not an issue and as a user of UE4 the changes between 4.7 and 4.9 for Blueprints and what the book covers are not significant. I suspect the book will still remain applicable for sometime, maybe a couple or more years. The short version of my review is that the book is the best starting place if you like books, want to learn UE4 and Blueprints, and anticipate this being a step or two in learning UE4. It will not make you an expert in game design or game programming. The chapters begin with simple objects a cylinder and materials in UE4. I appreciate that it pushes the reader into materials which is a complex subject, but what is in the book serves as a good introduction. There is a chapter on UI for the player, which is nice to have, again serving as a strong introduction. It later jumps into AI, navmesh's, and behavior trees. All serving as good starting points and helps keep the flow of the content in the book and what you are making in the editor. Other parts of completing a game are covered like pausing and saving, along with the book ending on packaging for release to a platform. So, I have enjoyed the book. For me it might have been a little better if it covered more than a first person shooter project. Also, at least on a Mac the final project in chapter 8 has some issues with hit detection where not all the shots are registered. While the event is mentioned early on in the book it is possible my criticism is not fair since I jumped to the end and opened the project and found the issue.

Unreal Blueprints is quite a topic and getting it into a book with clear examples is exactly what was needed for the Unreal Engine. There are not many books published on Unreal Engine 4 and hopefully this will be the start of many good quality books. The book covers the essentials of Blueprints and makes for an easy read. Follow all the topics and build the content as per the book and you will learn a lot.

Somebody wrote a good book on Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) Blueprints Visual Scripting. This book is well organized and moves at the right pace. It is all about the First Person Shooter (FPS) genre, but much of what you learn could be used in any game you dream up. It starts from the FPS template and builds it into something much closer to a real FPS game, with targets, projectiles, object interaction, HUD, AI Enemies, and Game Stats. Code and project files are available from the Packt web-site, but it is better to create your own stuff from the instructions in the book. This book is not a complete reference and it does not need to be, because Epic has put all of there docs and a ton of video tutorials online. Learning Blueprints Visual Scripting is more fun that a lot of games I have played. If you are new to game programming this a good place to start, because you can get satisficing results quickly. If you have been programming software for a long time like I have, check this out because it is a refreshing and fun way to bring your ideas to life. Epic deserves a lot of credit for creating a great toolset and giving it away for free. If you look at the entire UE4 toolset it can be overwhelming, because there is so many tools for so many things. This book does a great job of keeping you focused on building a game and not getting to bogged down in trying to cover everything that UE4 can do. My complements to Brenden Sewell and Epic Games.

The Gilmore Girls Companion, by A. S. Berman

From the Author If you're reading this, chances are very good that even though Gilmore Girls ended three years ago, you simply can't get the lives and loves of the people of Stars Hollow out of your mind. I'm the same way. You've probably heard people say that they wrote a particular book because it was the kind of book they wanted to read; in this case, that's exactly what happened. Throughout the show's seven-year run, I stalked Amazon and my local bookstores, always hoping that someone would publish a book about this, one of my favorite shows of all time. By 2008, a year after the last episode had aired, I realized that nobody was going to write one, which is when I approached my publisher about the prospect of writing one of my own. Thankfully, the head of BearManor Media is one of those souls who realizes just how important some television shows can be to people. After nearly three years, 480 pages, and more than 40 interviews with the cast and crew of Gilmore Girls, I've come to appreciate just how unique this series, and the people who worked so tirelessly behind it, really are. My hope is that after reading it, you will too. 

About the Author A.S. Berman is a longtime Gilmore Girls fan, and author of The New Horror Handbook and 30 Years of British Television. He and his wife (and Gilmore Girls Companion art director) Pamela share a house with a cat named after Max Medina, though CatKirk now seems more suitable. (Max, no!) Berman is currently working on Soap! The Inside Story of the Sitcom that Broke All the Rules.

27 of 28 people found the following review helpful. A treasure trove of details By Jeffrey Yutzler Bottom line is that big fans of the show will absolutely love this book. Even moderate fans of the show should appreciate the beginning of the book (a forward by Edward Hermann - Richard Gilmore - and the backstory of how the show came into being) and the After Gilmore chapter (which summarizes the subsequent three years for all of the key people). Big fans of the series will go gaga over the amazing amount of detail that forms the bulk of the book.For each episode, there is:* a synopsis* Ginchy!, a collection of particularly heart-warming moments* Notes* Amen, sister friend! (memorable dialogs)There are also amusing sections where appropriate such as:* Kirk-of-all-trades* You've entered Emilyland* Emily's maid du jour* Today's celebrationIn addition to all that, there are extensive behind the scenes notes, biographical information on many of the actors and production people, and more. Besides being fun to read, it helped reinforce the dedication to quality that everyone had. When you watch the show, the attention to detail is quite evident, but the book gives the details that describe what it was really like.While the book would have been better if the principles (Amy Sherman-Palladino, Lauren Graham, and Alexis Bledel) would have been interviewed, the reality is that it wasn't going to happen.Kudos to the author for going through the enormous effort required to get all of this information together in one place.

14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. A must for fans! By Ladybug81 If anyone is considering it, but not sure if it's worth it: it totally is. There are just so many behind-the-scenes tidbits about everyone and everything. Edward Hermann apparently took Alexis under his wing at the beginning of the series and watched out of her: her would tell the producers, etc., when she was being burnt out (she, a novice and shy, wasn't comfortable speaking up for that). If you watch the early episodes and notice how much Lorelai puts her arm around Rory, it's Lauren guiding Alexis to her mark. Kelly Bishop risked jinxing herself by telling the people at the audition what a great script it was. Keiko kept sneakers and a sweater from her Lane wardrobe; Todd Lowe swiped some Hep Alien swag. This book is a must-have for anyone that is or ever was a GG fan.

20 of 21 people found the following review helpful. Great read By ladybugj I was waiting for someone to review this book before I bought it just to be sure it was a good read.But since no one did, I HAD to have it. I really enjoyed this book and it made me go back and rewatch many episodes to see some of the details that the author pointed out. At times I could not put this book down even if it was majority a book about the episodes. I would have loved to have more of the main characters interviewed but overall, this was a GREAT book that puts the show in a different light for me. I respect the author's opinion and enjoyed some of the backround details of the show.
