Best Selling Books by Felicia Day

The Internet isn't all cat videos. There's also Felicia Day -- violinist, filmmaker, Internet entrepreneur, compulsive gamer, hoagie specialist, and former lonely homeschooled girl who overcame her isolated childhood to become the ruler of a new world ... or at least semi-influential in the world of Internet Geeks and Goodreads book clubs. After growing up in the south where she was "homeschooled for hippie reasons", Felicia moved to Hollywood to pursue her dream of becoming an actress and was immediately typecast as a crazy cat-lady secretary. But Felicia's misadventures in Hollywood led her to produce her own web series, own her own production company, and become an Internet star. Felicia's short-ish life and her rags-to-riches rise to Internet fame launched her career as one of the most influential creators in new media. Now Felicia's strange world is filled with thoughts on creativity, video games, and a dash of mild feminist activism -- just like her memoir. Felicia's story demonstrates that everyone should embrace what makes them different and be brave enough to share it with the world, because anything is possible now -- even for a digital misfit.

Issues of the Day provides an easy way for students, academics, journalists, policymakers, and the public to learn about a diverse range of policy issues affecting the environment, energy, transportation, and public health. Each commentary gives a short assessment of a topic, summarizing in a non-technical way the current state of analysis or evidence on the issue, along with selected recommendations for further reading. The essays are written by world renowned scholars, mostly economists, and provide useful insights on policy problems that are often complex and poorly understood. Some of the topics covered include air pollution, hazardous waste, voluntary environmental programs, domestic (U.S.) and global climate policy design, fishery management, water quality, endangered species, forest fires, oil security, solar power, road and airport, fuel taxes and fuel economy standards, alternative fuel vehicles, health and longevity, smoking, malaria, tuberculosis, and the environment and development. The objective is to disseminate the findings of sound, objective research on the costs, benefits, and appropriate reform of public policies. The book provides a useful supplement for undergraduate- and graduate-level course reading, a reference guide for professionals, and a way for the general reader to quickly develop an informed perspective on the most important policy problems of the day.

« J’ai plusieurs héros personnels, et Felicia Day en fait partie. » Joss Whedon « Enfin l’histoire des origines de la super-héroïne préférée des geeks ! » Ernest Cline, auteur de Ready Player One « Salut. Je m’appelle Felicia Day. Je suis actrice. La nana bizarre dans cette série de SF ? Mais si, vous voyez de qui je veux parler. Je ne suis jamais sur l’affiche, mais j’ai quelques chouettes scènes qui font rire les téléspectateurs. Vu que je suis rousse, je collectionne les sixièmes rôles, et j’ai pratiquement inventé l’archétype de la hackeuse mignonne mais complètement barrée. (Pardon, mais quand j’ai commencé, c’était complètement nouveau. Je vous jure.) Je suis la scénariste, la productrice et l’actrice/hôtesse/personnalité de centaines de vidéos sur le Web. Pour de vrai. Je suis très connue par certaines personnes. Et totalement inconnue par d’autres. J’aime à penser que je suis l’objet d’une « reconnaissance situationnelle ». C’est une formulation beaucoup plus gratifiante que « célèbre sur le Net », qui me donne l’impression d’être rangée dans la catégorie du chat handicapé mental ou du gamin qui fait du Yo-Yo tout en chevauchant un bâton sauteur. Je connais cet enfant : il est superdoué. En revanche, le chat... bof. Il y a sept ans, j’ai commencé à tourner des vidéos dans mon garage avec une caméra d’emprunt. Aujourd’hui, je jongle entre mes rôles à la télé, l’écriture, la production et la gestion d’une compagnie de vidéos Internet appelée Geek & Sundry. Je suis également une fana des médias sociaux (« accro » est mon deuxième prénom) : plus de deux millions et demi de personnes me suivent sur Twitter et je suis souvent la seule femme sur la liste des nerds les plus éminents, ce qui m’a valu de me faire introniser « Reine des Geeks » par la presse. Personnellement, je refuse d’utiliser ce titre, mais quand quelqu’un d’autre l’utilise je ne discute pas. Je le prends comme un compliment. C’est vrai, quoi ! Qui n’a jamais rêvé d’hériter d’une dynastie juste parce que c’est dans son sang ? Pas besoin de bosser. Juste SPLAT ! Vous êtes l’élue ! »

Kniha Jak (ne)být divný na netu od průkopnice online zábavy, herečky a „královny podivínů“ Felicii Day obsahuje zábavné, svérázné a inspirující vzpomínky na neobvyklé dětství, cestu za internetovou slávou i na to, jak své podivínství přijala a našla si vlastní místo na slunci. Když byla Felicia Day malá, celým svým srdcem (zoufale) toužila navázat vztah s ostatními dětmi. Vyrůstala na samém jihu USA, kde se jí dostalo domácího vzdělávání. Svou partu si proto hledala na internetu. Ten byl tou dobou v plenkách a Felicia si rychle osvojila každý jeho nový vývojový stupeň – ve vznikajícím digitálním světě nacházela radost a nepravděpodobná přátelství. Kdyby neprožila tak neobvyklé mládí – ještě v šestnácti letech ji máma každý den vozila do školy autem – asi by v sobě nikdy nenašla naivní přesvědčení, že si prosadí vlastní životní cestu. Po studiu matematiky zamířila do Hollywoodu, aby se věnovala herectví, přestože neměla naprosto žádné kontakty. Když ji pak přestalo bavit ztvárňovat jen samé bláznivé sekretářky, které se po večerech starají doma o kočku, rozhodla se pro internet natočit vlastní seriál. Feliciin náhlý internetový úspěch odstartoval její kariéru a brzy se stala jedním z nejvýznamnějších tvůrců v oblasti nových médií. Dnes je její svět naplněn kreativitou, počítačovými hrami a špetkou feminismu – stejně jako její vzpomínky. V knize Jak (ne)být divný na netu zaznívá Feliciin zábavný a osobitý hlas a dokazuje, že bychom si všichni měli vážit toho, čím se od ostatních lišíme, a najít v sobě odvahu podělit se o to se světem. Protože dnes je možné vše – dokonce i pro podivíny z digitálního světa.*** FELICIA DAY je profesionální herečka. Účinkovala v řadě televizních pořadů, například v seriálech Buffy, přemožitelka upírů, Lovci duchů či Heuréka – město divů. Nejvíce se však proslavila svou prací v oblasti internetových videí. S Jossem Whedonem spoluúčinkovala v internetovém muzikálu Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog oceněném cenou Emmy a je autorkou a hlavní postavou internetového seriálu The Guild. Další zajímavosti nejen o její osobě najdete na www.feliciaday.com nebo www.feliciadaybook.com. „Konečně příběh o tajemném původu všemi oblíbené ulítlé superhrdinky! Vzpomínky Felicii Day jsou upřímné, plné naděje a trochu hysterické. Vyprávějí o dívce, která se v mládí cítila ztracená a osamělá – a potom se vlastním přičiněním stala hvězdou internetu. Po přečtení budete mít dojem, že dokážete sami vybudovat celé království.“ Ernest Cline, autor knihy Ready player one – Hra začíná

The story of an African American woman's struggle with physical and emotional abuse. I purposely wrote this book raw. It's written in bad Grammer,and a lot of slang. I wanted to reach women like myself. Women who are so focused on survival we forget to address our mental health. We endure so much, and the world expects us to keep going. How we sometimes let the opinion of other's become the opinion of ourselves. We then get this idea that by blocking our emotions we're being strong. This story will make you question am I being resilient, or am I slowly dying? CiCi found out the hard way that a life without feeling is a life without meaning. I hope sharing my story will inspire someone to seek help. That it's ok not to have all the answers, it's ok to fall apart when life gets you down. What's not ok, is continuing to stay down once you've fallen. It's not ok to live life without purpose. To live is to love. We must first learn to love ourselves in order to live. It's ok to seek help. Most of my adult life I had to reevaluate the behaviors I was by people who didn't have their shit together. For once in my life I want to live! I will no longer be Invisible to myself. Simple me... Simply Fi.👑🌻
