New Releases by Paul Ryan

DUE LEGGENDE, UN VELOCISTA! Un costume senziente che consuma la forza vitale di chi lo indossa, una corsa galattica con la distruzione del proprio pianeta come punizione per il perdente, un’arma che costringe a vivere la propria vita al contrario e un misterioso Flash Nero che è sempre stato presente alla morte dei velocisti. Sono solo alcune delle folli idee alla base delle storie di Flash partorite dalla coppia di scrittori composta da Grant Morrison (JLA, Batman, Multiversity) e Mark Millar (The Authority) nel loro anno di “supplenza” a Mark Waid! Per la prima volta in un volume unico tutte le storie di Wally West scritte dai due autori scozzesi, compreso il team up con Freccia Verde e Lanterna Verde, e illustrate da Paul Ryan (Superman: The Man of Tomorrow), Ron Wagner (Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight) e Pop Mhan (Batgirl). [VOLUME UNICO. CONTIENE: THE FLASH (1986) 130-141, GREEN LANTERN (1990) 96, GREEN ARROW (1986) 130, THE FLASH 80-PAGE GIANT (1998) 1, JLA SECRET FILES (1997) 1]

This is the story of what happens to a boy on the first day of a revolution. The boy is named Jack. He is 17. He is your guide on one hell of a day.

In einem Gespräch mit Ayreen Anastas und Rene Gabri, Agenten der dOCUMENTA (13), gibt der in New York lebende Videokünstler Paul Ryan Auskunft über die theoretischen wie biografischen Hintergründe seiner Arbeit, über seine prägende Tätigkeit für Marshall McLuhan sowie über seine Rolle innerhalb der Videogruppe Raindance und der von ihr herausgegebenen Zeitschrift Radical Software. Die verschiedenen Einflüsse weckten in ihm den Wunsch, seine künstlerische Tätigkeit mit einer revolutionären sozialen Praxis zu verbinden, innerhalb derer das Konzept des »Threeing« eine zentrale Stellung einnimmt. Dabei handelt es sich um eine »freiwillige Beziehungs-Praxis beziehungsweise -Übung, bei der drei Personen abwechselnd drei verschiedene Rollen übernehmen«, die auf den von Charles Sanders Peirce eingeführten phänomenologischen Kategorien der Erstheit, Zweitheit und Drittheit beruht. Das Gespräch wird ergänzt von einem ausführlichen Anhang mit illustrierten Texten zum »Threeing« sowie dem ebenfalls von Ryan entwickelten Beziehungskreislauf. Sprache: Deutsch/Englisch

A story of and Irish immigrant family traveling from Ireland to Queensland on the Erin go Bragh, a voyage that took six months with 54 people, mainly children dying.

Assistez à l''avènement de l''Escadron Suprême. Ces super-héros d''un monde parallèle décident de faire la différence et de reconstruire la société en partant de zéro. Mais est-il préférable d''être aimé ou craint ? Le programme Utopie, destiné à éradiquer la guerre et la pauvreté, mènera-t-il à la paix ou au chaos ? Et que se passera-t-il lorsque les premières dissensions apparaîtront ? Mark Gruenwald, Bob Hall, Paul Ryan et John Buscema s''interrogent sur les responsabilités et l''éthique des surhumains, et se demandent quand ils cessent d''être des super-héros.

The Bald Mountain Mining district, like much of central Nevada, has experienced a complex deformation history. The mining district is considered here as a southern extension of the well-studied Carlin trend of gold deposits to the north. In order to gain a better understanding of how the Bald Mountain Mining District structural style relates to other structural models developed to the north in the Carlin trend, I completed a mapping and structural domain analysis in the district, with a focus on the North Mooney basin area where a high spatial concentration of Carlin-type gold deposits occur. The identification of structural domain boundaries and classes utilized a compiled database of historical mapping and structural measurements along with new mapping and cross section work. The domain analysis revealed four different classes of structural domains, of which monoclinal folds were determined to play the strongest role in gold mineralization. Using the structural domain designations in addition to an analysis of the geometry of commonly occurring structures, I identified five structural styles at Bald Mountain: 1) kilometerscale NNE- to NE-striking reverse faults and NNE- to NE-trending open to overturned folds; 2) kilometer-scale WNW- to NW-striking normal faults with oblique separation; 3) decameter- to kilometer-scale NNW-trending open folds, NNW-striking reverse faults, and N-striking thrusts; 4) meter- to decameter-scale NW-trending tight to close folds; 5) meter- to kilometer-scale N- to NE-striking normal faults. Evidence for structural reactivation and observations of the crosscutting relationships between the five structural styles inform a relative sequence of deformational events at Bald Mountain. These five structural styles were then considered with respect to regional tectonic events and their kinematic and timing relationships in order to assign deformational phases: 1) NNE- to NE-striking reverse faults and NNE- to NE-trending open to overturned folds associated with episodic ESE- to SE-directed shortening through the Paleozoic to early Mesozoic; 2) WNW- to NW-striking strike-slip and tear faulting in the Late Jurassic to Cretaceous; 3) NNW-trending open folds, NNW-striking reverse faults, and N-striking thrusts with ENE-directed shortening through the Late Cretaceous to Eocene; 4) NW-trending tight to close folds with sinistral tranpression on WNW- to NW-striking faults during a mid-Eocene event associated with exhumation of the Ruby Mountain core complex; 5) N- to NE-striking normal faulting with NWSE directed Basin and Range extension from the Miocene. The five structural styles were then compared to previous work including structural models developed in north-central Nevada. Deformation events are similar between the northern Carlin trend and Bald Mountain. Primary differences between the Bald Mountain structural history and the structural models in the northern Carlin trend include the documented Eocene folding event, and a major WNW-striking basement-seated feature with parallel structures that have a significant strike-slip component and partition Bald Mountain into discrete kilometer scale structural domains. Further work to add value to targeting and exploration should place an emphasis on identifying major WNW- to NW-striking faults and understanding their kinematics. Knowledge of these structural boundaries along with how structural styles change across them will help to constrain targeting and lend insight to the significant role that strike-slip faulting played in the Bald Mountain Mining District''s complex deformational history.

This timely and accessible text shows how portrayals of science in popular media--including television, movies, and social media--influence public attitudes around messages from the scientific community, affect the kinds of research that receive support, and inform perceptions of who can become a scientist. The book builds on theories of cultivation, priming, framing, and media models while drawing on years of content analyses, national surveys, and experiments. A wide variety of media genres--from Hollywood blockbusters and prime-time television shows to cable news channels and satirical comedy programs, science documentaries and children''s cartoons to Facebook posts and YouTube videos--are explored with rigorous social science research and an engaging, accessible style. Case studies on climate change, vaccines, genetically modified foods, evolution, space exploration, and forensic DNA testing are presented alongside reflections on media stereotypes and disparities in terms of gender, race, and other social identities. Science in the Media illuminates how scientists and media producers can bridge gaps between the scientific community and the public, foster engagement with science, and promote an inclusive vision of science, while also highlighting how readers themselves can become more active and critical consumers of media messages about science. Science in the Media serves as a supplemental text for courses in science communication and media studies, and will be of interest to anyone concerned with publicly engaged science.

This book explores the lives of male sex workers living in Dublin, Ireland. It focuses on the stories of young Brazilian and Venezuelan migrants who use their micro-celebrity on social media to construct a brand that can be converted into financial advantage within the sex industry. The book focuses on two sites: Grindr, which these men use to build a transient pop-up escort profile that is linked to Instagram, which in turn provides followers with access to a curated digital identity built around consumption. Ryan explores how the muscular body acts as a form of physical and erotic capital providing the raw material of these digital identities as they are broadcast on new online subscription platforms like OnlyFans. Male Sex Work in the Digital Age offers fascinating insights into the role social media plays in (re)creating a new and more flexible understanding of commercial sex. Students and scholars across a range of disciplines, including sociology, gender studies, sexuality studies, LGBTQ studies, media studies and law, will find this book of interest.

Upon hearing that the United States had entered the war, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill had said "we have won the war." Indeed, America''s machine of war began to rev up as they started to get involved in two theaters of war. The first theater was the European theater, where their involvement in fighting Germany was relatively minimal at best. The truth is, while many Americans like to look at Germany as being the main enemy of World War II, to America, the Japanese were more of the enemy than the Germans. While America gave significant support, military assistance and weapons to their allies who were fighting against the German front, the USA''s primary goal was to fight against the Japanese. Thus, sparked the greatest military campaign America had ever seen before, thus began the Pacific War.The purpose of this book is to give you an overview of the American campaign against Japan and to show how they were able to defeat the Japanese despite the fanatical strength of their opponents. First, we are going to look at the reason why the Japanese attacked America, how America responded, and look at the ultimate moment of victory for America, the dropping of the atomic bomb. If you''re someone who''s curious about learning about why Japan chose to wage war against us, how the war went down and what made America so strong against the Japanese, then read on! Here Is A Preview Of What You''ll Learn... Fanatical Japan The battle of Midway The battle of Iwo Jima The horrors of Okinawa The nuclear age Much, much more! Download your copy today!

From the intellectual leader of the Republican party, an unvarnished look into the state of the conservative movement today and a clear plan for what needs to be done to save the American Idea. The Way Forward challenges conventional thinking, outlines his political vision for 2014 and beyond, and shows how essential conservatism is for the future of our nation. Beginning with a careful analysis of the 2012 election--including a look at the challenge the GOP had in reaching a majority of voters and the prevalence of identity politics--Ryan examines the state of the Republican party and dissects its challenges going forward. The Way Forward also offers a detailed critique of not only President Obama but of the progressive movement as a whole--its genesis, its underlying beliefs and philosophies, and how its policies are steering the country to certain ruin. Culminating in a plan for the future, The Way Forward argues that the Republican Party is and must remain a conservative party, emphasizing conservatism in a way that demonstrates how it can modernize and appeal to both our deepest concerns and highest ideals.

We studied the light-induced reactions of the (6-4) photolyase, a flavoenzyme of the cryptochrome/photolyase family that repairs the UV-induced (6-4) photodamage in DNA with the aid of blue light. We studied this photorepair reaction as well as the light-induced cofactor reduction called photoactivation that the enzyme uses to bring itself to a repair-active state in the (6-4) photolyase from Xenopus laevis. We have studied the photoactivation of the FADox cofactor of the enzyme using femtosecond polarised transient absorption spectroscopy. We observed a sub-picosecond electron transfer (~400 fs) after excitation of the FADox cofactor. We were able to characterise a tryptophan residue as the electron donor. We sought to differentiate the spectroscopically identical but differently oriented tryptophan residues within the protein''s photoactivation site by transient anisotropy measurements. Our results suggest that the photoactivation mechanism is not fully compatible with the mechanism thought to be conserved among photolyases: an electron transfer mechanism via electron hopping along a chain of three highly conserved tryptophan residues.Using series of single turnover flashes, we have found that the repair reaction proceeds by a successive two-photon mechanism. The first photon converts the (6-4) lesion into a metastable intermediate X, the lifetime of which is ~2 min. Absorption of a second photon within the lifetime of X results to the restoration of intact nucleobases. In light of our findings, the reaction was also studied by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy.

Composed in the fourth century b.c., the Phaedrus—a dialogue between Phaedrus and Socrates—deals ostensibly with love but develops into a wide-ranging discussion of such subjects as the pursuit of beauty, the nature of humanity, the immortality of the soul, and the attainment of truth, ending with an in-depth discussion of the principles of rhetoric. This erudite commentary, which also includes the original Greek text, is designed to help intermediate-level students of Greek read, understand, and enjoy Plato’s magnificent work. Drawing on his extensive classroom experience and linguistic expertise, Paul Ryan offers a commentary that is both rich in detail and—in contrast to earlier, more austere commentaries on the Phaedrus—fully engaging. Line by line, he explains subtle points of language, explicates difficulties of syntax, and brings out nuances of tone and meaning that students might not otherwise notice or understand. Ryan sections his commentary into units of convenient length for classroom use, with short summaries at the head of each section to orient the reader. Never straying far from the text itself, Ryan provides useful historical glosses and annotations for the student, introducing information ranging from the architecture of the Lyceum to Athenian politics. Further historical and philosophical context is provided in the introduction by Mary Louise Gill, who outlines the issues addressed in the Phaedrus and situates it in relation to Plato’s other dialogues.

There has been a steady decline in angling participation numbers in the United States during the past two decades (MN DNR, 2011). A main contributing factor is the decreased participation by youth, and adults between the age of 20 and 40. These young adults represent a large portion of the parent population of today''s youth, and the simultaneous decrease in participation between young adults and youth may indicate that today''s youth do not have adults taking them fishing (MN DNR, 2011). This is of concern because of the parallel decline in people committed to conservation of natural resources. State agencies have begun to implement mentoring education programs to address this decline in participation amongst youth, but have not yet sought to identify what experts in the field of angling education believe are important components of a mentoring program (MN DNR, 2008).

Digital technologies allow people with disabilities to participate independently in society in ways they never could before. The full realization of these new opportunities remains elusive, though, because working professionals in the information and communication technology (ICT) field rarely receive adequate training in how to make digital ICT accessible to people with disabilities. Adding accessibility to the university ICT curriculum can help create a critical mass of ICT professionals with accessibility awareness and expertise to finally realize the full accessibility potential of digital technologies. This dissertation provides a rich informational context from which ICT curriculum leaders can decide how to best infuse accessibility into their own curriculum.Part I describes programs at three universities, documenting how and why the curriculum leaders created and implemented the curriculum. The three programs are: (a) the Web Sciences master''s degree program at the University of Linz in Austria, (b) the Instructional Technology master''s degree program at George Mason University in the United States, and (c) the Digital Inclusion master''s degree program at Middlesex University in the United Kingdom.Part II analyzes six main themes across the three programs: (a) the curriculum goals and rationale; (b) the curriculum design process, from idea to implementation; (c) defining the scope of the curriculum; (d) instructional materials and strategies; (e) instructional format and media choices; and (f) program sustainability (which proved to be one of the most important themes).Part III discusses accessibility and technology within the theoretical perspective of the Capability Approach, which is an approach to economic development that takes into account many variables in the quality of human life, not just financial measures. Digital technology plays a special role in increasing the quality of life of people with disabilities. The last section provides a list of ways to determine whether a curriculum adequately addresses accessibility issues or not.

America urgently needs a new direction. But who will provide it? The time has come to move the country forward with a clear agenda based on common sense for the common good. THERE IS A BETTER WAY. Make no mistake: Congressmen Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, and Kevin McCarthy are proud Republicans. But they believe the party had lost sight of the ideals it believes in, like economic freedom, limited government, the sanctity of life, and putting families first. This isn’t your grandfather’s Republican party. These Young Guns of the House GOP—Cantor (the leader), Ryan (the thinker), and McCarthy (the strategist)—are ready to take their belief in the principles that have made America great and translate it into solutions that will make the future even better, solutions that will create private sector jobs, maximize individual freedom, and establish a better world for our children. This groundbreaking book is a call to action that sets forth a plan for growth, opportunity, and commitment that will propel this country to prosperity once again. Together, the Young Guns are changing the face of the Republican party and giving us a new road map back to the American dream.
