|
Wil Wheaton has never been one to take the conventional path to success. |
|
Despite early stardom through his childhood role in the motion picture "Stand |
|
By Me," and growing up on television as Wesley Crusher on "Star Trek: The |
|
Next Generation," Wil left Hollywood in pursuit of happiness, purpose, and a |
|
viable means of paying the bills. In the oddest of places, Topeka, Kansas, |
|
Wil discovered that despite his claims to fame, he was at heart "Just a |
|
Geek." In this bestselling book, Wil shares his deeply personal and difficult |
|
journey to find himself. You'll understand the rigors, and joys, of Wil's |
|
rediscovering of himself, as he comes to terms with what it means to be |
|
famous, or, ironically, famous for once having been famous. Writing with |
|
honesty and disarming humanity, Wil touches on the frustrations associated |
|
with his acting career, his inability to distance himself from Ensign Crusher |
|
in the public's eyes, the launch of his incredibly successful web site, |
|
wilwheaton.net, and the joy he's found in writing. Through all of this, Wil |
|
shares the ups and downs he encountered along the journey, along with the |
|
support and love he discovered from his friends and family. The stories in |
|
"Just a Geek" include: Wil's plunge from teen star to struggling actor, |
|
discovering the joys of HTML, blogging, Linux, and web design, the struggle |
|
between Wesley Crusher, Starfleet ensign, and Wil Wheaton, author and |
|
blogger, gut-wrenching reactions to the 9-11 disaster, moving tales of Wil's |
|
relationships with his wife, step-children, and extended family, and the |
|
transition from a B-list actor to an A-list author.</p> |

Even bad code can function. But if code isn't clean, it can bring a |
|
development organization to its knees. Every year, countless hours and |
|
significant resources are lost because of poorly written code. But it doesn't |
|
have to be that way. </p> |

|
For devoted gamers as well as those interested in groundbreaking graphic |
|
design, this is the first, most comprehensive, and only critical guide ever |
|
published to video games. The video game has arrived as entertainment and as |
|
an art form. This is the first serious critical evaluation ever published of |
|
the best video games and is a testament to the medium’s innovativeness and |
|
increasing emphasis on aesthetics. Organized chronologically and for all |
|
platforms (PC, Xbox, PlayStation, etc.) and covering all genres from the bold |
|
(Grand Theft Auto and Halo) and dark (Resident Evil and Silent Hill) to the |
|
spiritual (Final Fantasy) and whimsical (Legend of Zelda), the book traces the |
|
video game from the rough early days of Pong to the latest visual fantasia.</p> |

Brave New World is a dystopian novel by English author Aldous Huxley, written in 1931 and published in 1932. Largely set in a futuristic World State, inhabited by genetically modified citizens and an intelligence-based social hierarchy, the novel anticipates huge scientific advancements in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation and classical conditioning that are combined to make a dystopian society which is challenged by only a single individual: the story's protagonist.</p> |

|
While this riveting tale was intended to be a commentary on evolution, divine |
|
creation, and the tension between human nature and culture, modern readers |
|
familiar with genetic engineering will marvel at Wells’s prediction of the |
|
ethical issues raised by producing “smarter” human beings or bringing back |
|
extinct species. These levels of interpretation add a richness to Prendick’s |
|
adventures on Dr. Moreau’s island of lost souls without distracting from what |
|
is still a rip-roaring good read.</p> |

|
The Earth's leaders have drawn a line in the interstellar sand—despite the |
|
fact that the fierce alien enemy that they would oppose is inscrutable, |
|
unconquerable, and very far away. A reluctant conscript drafted into an elite |
|
Military unit, Private William Mandella has been propelled through space and |
|
time to fight in the distant thousand-year conflict; to perform his duties |
|
without rancor and even rise up through military ranks. Pvt. Mandella is |
|
willing to do whatever it takes to survive the ordeal and return home. But |
|
"home" may be even more terrifying than battle, because, thanks to the time |
|
dilation caused by space travel, Mandella is aging months while the Earth he |
|
left behind is aging centuries.</p> |
