Описание: Sam had doubts about everything when he was 19 He had no idea where he fitted into the world, what he was going to do with his life, or how to deal with that 'small' issue of being gay? As older Sam boards a train to the Continent for the weekend, a chance encounter compels him back to that time of uncertainty and how he dealt with it. This sun-kissed, life-affirming coming-of-age adventure will take you on a journey from the present day back to the 1980s, as uncertain and unworldly Sam Interrail's across Europe in search of adventure, answers and self discovery. Changing Trains is a fictionalised memoire that will transport you back to that glorious time just before mobile devices, the internet and social media changed the world - and one boy's journey of discovery and sexual self awareness. Sam's story will take you on balmy trek across France, Spain, Monaco and Italy in the late summer of 1985, with a fab soundtrack in the form of Sam's Walkman. As well as being based on a true story this novel was also partly inspired by Christopher Isherwood's Berlin Diaries.
Had Isherwood been a young man in the 1980s he would almost certainly have gone Interrailing, too. If only 'for the boys'
This sensual, funny and evocative story is the perfect escape from wherever you are right now.

Описание:
The first day of school in September 1959, finds the state of Virginia's Arlington County public schools integrated for the first time. That is to say that three schools, formerly all-white, one elementary, one junior high and one high school, have allowed a select few Negro students to attend. Wynn Horry Junior, known as Junior, is one of the six Negro students going to Arlington High and he has already become friends with Clifford Peterson, the white son of an upper-middle -class State Department family living in North Arlington near the high school. Junior, like Cliff, is a smart, articulate young man who does not necessarily fit the notion of how others might see him. Junior and Cliff have known each other since the summer of 1958 when the Peterson family first returned to the United States after a long tour abroad and Junior began cutting their grass. The friendship that develops between the two teens is more than most might be able to handle and they keep their friendship private. At this time when America was changing--the advent of the Civil Rights movement and the dawn of the Space Race - for the most part, African-Americans and whites were going off in different directions and there was yet no road map to explore certain other areas of life!

Описание: In The Rise and Fall of the Age of Psychopharmacology, esteemed historian Edward Shorter proposes that the recent history of psychiatry is that of a failed scientific discipline of medicine. Medicine generally is about the story of progress, but psychiatry`s story is that of failure in diagnosis, in therapeutics, and in the ability to deliver science-based care to suffering individuals.
Описание: Join us as we explore the historic understanding of Covenant and show how this understanding can be used to build the deepest and most powerful relationship with God.What kind of relationship did Jesus intend when He offered a New Covenant relationship? How is a Covenant relationship different from all others? In our day we have lost this understanding. We view covenant as a kind of contract intended to define --or confine--our behavior. Or, we believe our relationship can be whatever we want it to be. Instead, Covenant is a very specific thing. As we enter a Covenant, our identity changes. We are joined to another in a bond of shared identity. The model for this is the Trinity, three distinct beings joined by a common nature and identity. Covenant does not just connect, it transforms. But building our new, transformed life--now connected to God in the most intimate way--is a process with many steps. Much is required of us in this process. God's plan is detailed in Scripture, but is also inherent in the nature of the relationship itself. Covenant is truly the heart of God's plan for our life, and for all of humanity.

Описание: Casino games and traditional card games have rich and idiosyncratic histories, complex subcultures and player practices, and facilitate the flow of billions of dollars each year through casinos and card rooms, and between professional players and amateurs. They have nevertheless been overlooked by game scholars due to the negative ethical weight of “gambling” – with such games pathologized and labelled as deviance or mental illness, few look beyond to unpick the games, their players, and their communities.
The Casino, Card and Betting Game Reader offers 25 chapters studying the communities playing these games, the distinctive cultures and practices that have emerged around them, their activities and beliefs and interpersonal relationships, and how these games influence – both positively and negatively – the lives and careers of millions of game players around the world. It is the first of a new series of edited collections, Play Beyond the Computer, dedicated to exploring the play of games beyond computers and games consoles.

Описание: The Unpredictability of Gameplay explores the many forms of unpredictability in games and proposes a comprehensive theoretical framework for understanding and categorizing non-deterministic game mechanics. Rather than viewing all game mechanics with unpredictable outcomes as a single concept, Mark R. Johnson develops a three-part typology for such mechanics, distinguishing between randomness, chance, and luck in gameplay, assessing games that range from grand strategy and MMORPGs to slot machines and card games. He also explores forms of unanticipated unpredictability, where elements of games fail to function as intended and create new forms of gameplay in the process. Covering a range of game concepts using these frameworks, The Unpredictability of Gameplay then explores three illustrative case studies: 1) procedural generation, 2) replay value and grinding, and 3) player-made practices designed to reduce the level of luck in non-deterministic games. Throughout, Johnson demonstrates the importance of looking more deeply at unpredictability in games and game design and the various ways in which unpredictability manifests while offering an invaluable tool for game scholars and game designers seeking to integrate unpredictability into their work.
