It's the year 2091. Sixteen-year-old Ryan Chase lives in the Pacific Northwest with his scientist parents, Drs. Ryan and Elise, and little sister, Faith Ann. Four years prior, an asteroid smashed into the planet causing untold death and destruction before a protective force field--designed by Ryan's father--could be deployed. In the aftermath, oppressive government authorities reassign the Chase family to the Perhentian Archipelago, located far away in Southeast Asia, where Ryan's marine biologist mother continues to monitor the effects of radiation on the ocean. While on a dangerous solo deep dive, Ryan is "liquefied"--literally sucked through time by the Order of Saint Michael, guardians of the Perhentian Archipelago, who are desperately seeking Dr. Chase or his force-field research in order to prevent a new (or is it the same?) asteroid cataclysm. Unsure if he is in the past or the future, the injured Ryan awakens from his ordeal and converses with a caretaker at the monks' sanctuary who turns out to be so much more. After secretly overhearing some of the monks' plans, the frightened and confused teen decides to escape with the help of Martin the cook, a simple and trusting soul, and flee into the woods. There, Ryan stumbles upon a group of teenage bullies known as "Lo-Tekkers"--sons of those who enforce a strict low technology code on this tropical island. The Lo-Tekkers are just beginning to torture some local boys for violating the code when a mysterious Asian girl frees them with her "illegal" Hi-Tek bow and arrows. Suddenly, a young French woman dressed in medieval warrior garb appears and assists the archer in routing the bullies. Thus begins Ryan's training as a knight and the adventure that will require courage and grace, as well as the strength of angels and Saints, because demonic powers are on the rise and a massive asteroid looms over the horizon.
What impact did "Red Storm Rising" have on Ronald Reagan's policy for dealing with the Soviet Union? Was "A Clear and Present Danger" a trial balloon for the administration's international war on drugs? Did the climax of "Debt of Honor "foreshadow the actual terrorist plans for 9/11? And how did Jack Ryan, a lowly analyst, wind up becoming the President of the United States? Was it wishful thinking or a choreographed roadmap for the time when the defense of America was placed firmly in the hands of backroom strategists? "The Jack Ryan Agenda "places each of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels ( from his bestselling debut "The Hunt for the Red October" to his latest "The Teeth of the Tiger)" within the historical context of the U.S./International situation at the time each book was published. The Clinton years are examined as well; during this time, Clancy occasionally embraced a "by any means necessary" modus operandi that included Special Forces assassins taking on rogue environmentalists.Turning to film, "The Jack Ryan Agenda "explores how the movie versions differ from the Clancy's canon and notes the author's displeasure with the way Hollywood liberals took liberties with his story lines.In the bestselling tradition of "The Magic of Harry Potter," "The Biology of Star" "Trek, " and "The Science of Superman," "The Jack Ryan Agenda" explores this brand name dynamo's work in the context of the real world where patriot games are a clear and present danger and the sum of all fears are executive orders without remorse."
The Lives of Robert Ryan provides an inside look at the gifted, complex, intensely private man whom Martin Scorsese called "one of the greatest actors in the history of American film." The son of a Chicago construction executive with strong ties to the Democratic machine, Ryan became a star after World War II on the strength of his menacing performance as an anti-Semitic murderer in the film noir Crossfire. Over the next quarter century he created a gallery of brooding, neurotic, and violent characters in such movies as Bad Day at Black Rock, Billy Budd, The Dirty Dozen, and The Wild Bunch. His riveting performances expose the darkest impulses of the American psyche during the Cold War. At the same time, Ryan's marriage to a liberal Quaker and his own sense of conscience launched him into a tireless career of peace and civil rights activism that stood in direct contrast to his screen persona. Drawing on unpublished writings and revealing interviews, film critic J.R. Jones deftly explores the many contradictory facets of Robert Ryan's public and private lives, and how these lives intertwined in one of the most compelling actors of a generation.
Actor. Director. Musician. Heartthrob. Feminist icon (sort of). There’s only one Ryan Gosling. Women want him. Men want to be him. Most Tumblr blogs are about him. No mere Hollywood pretty boy, he’s a model of sensitive masculinity, symbolic of everything modern manhood should aspire to. Did you see The Notebook? Exactly. Filled with edgy humour and photos that graphically illustrate his physical perfection, 100 Reasons to Love Ryan Gosling provides scientifically irrefutable evidence of exactly why Ryan is so damn loveable.
Who is Nolan Ryan? Might as well ask who is America. After twenty-seven major league seasons in the limelight, the man who has been called the "last true sports hero" stands as a national phenomenon-a phenomenon whose media portrayal tells America something important about itself. Seven no-hitters. Over three hundred wins. Over fifty-five hundred strikeouts. More than fifty major league records. A Texas highway named for him. Forty-six years old at retirement, and still throwing the ball at over ninety miles per hour. The record speaks for itself. A hero. But there's more to Ryan than the record. There's the image. And the business. The portrayal of this future Hall of Famer as a devoted husband, strong father, and off-season cowboy has been used to sell jeans, athletic shoes, pain relievers, and other products. In this fascinating analysis of Ryan's career and the media hype surrounding it, Nick Trujillo examines his significance as a sports hero and celebrity in American culture. Each chapter of the book looks at a different aspect of Ryan's meaning in contemporary society: his meaning to his teammates on the Texas Rangers, his portrayal in the mass media, his status as American hero, his commodification as a commercialized product, and his representation as an image of traditional masculinity and "safe sex." Trujillo shows how Ryan functions as a sort of mirror in which a sometimes jaded nation can see what it wants to see of itself.
Aubany Winters' life soon becomes a nightmare when her Mom gets cancer and has to leave for California with her Dad. Left with her neighbours, the Ruperts, and to her displeasure, their son Ryan, she finds herself forced to tag along on their family vacation to Nula Island. There's just a few problems, like her fear of the ocean, her and Ryan's mutual hatred for each other, and the psycho girl who is trying to kill them. Will Aubany overcome her fears? Will she and Ryan ever stop hating each other? Or will their flaws and disagreements lead them right into the enemy's hands?
It's been seven months since Aubany's nightmare vacation to Nula Island--where she not only fell in love with her snarky neighbor, Ryan Rupert, but survived a brutal stabbing to the gut. Now, Aubany has been invited by her friend Lewis to his family's cabin in the mountains of Blakesky for Spring Break. However, memories of Courtney attacking her still plague her--even though it's been months since her last sighting. Not to mention that Ryan has started avoiding conversations about the future together, and the town of Blakesky has a strange, unsettling history surrounding it. But nothing could possibly bring Courtney back into their lives after all this time, and things with her and Ryan are fine... Or at least, that's what Aubany's determined to believe--except Aubany's no safer in Blakesky than she was on Nula Island, and she's about to discover a dark secret that will not only threaten her and Ryan's relationship... but could bring her face to face with death once more.
When 19-year-old Ryan walks away from a car accident and is forced out of his dream apartment on the same night, he feels his life spinning out of control. Just when it seems he's regained his footing, the sudden death of Darren, his best friend and crush, sends him reeling toward a harsh realization: in order to survive his new world, he'll have to leave the na ve, cautious version of himself behind. With the help of sexy former rival Brandon, and spicy coworker Meredith, Ryan embarks on a journey of self-discovery and reinvention. But as he navigates friendship, heartbreak, betrayal, and grief, he might just burn more bridges than he builds. All of it begs the question: Will he emerge from his metamorphosis as a butterfly? Or a hideous moth? Ryan's education is ultimately a story about striving to be more than the sum of one's experiences, while searching for the most elusive type of love: the kind that comes from within.

To his millions of fans worldwide, Ryan Gosling is not just a handsome face that can say "Hey girl!" in a way that makes them go weak at the knees (though he can and does), he is the defining icon of the new Golden Age of cinema, a 21st-century Cary Grant, as macho as he is feminine, with a total of 11 Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations under his belt, and a Golden Globe victory for Best Actor.Since his tenure as a leading man, 20 years ago in The Notebook, Ryan's films have grossed more than $2 billion dollars, and his next few projects will certainly add to that figure, with Project Hail Mary, Wolf Man, Gray Man 2, and Margot Robbie's Ocean Eleven reboot keeping him in the La La Land limelight for many years to come.I'm Just Ryan throws a bright spotlight on the actor's playful and positive sense of humour and philosophy and revels in his ridiculous charm and sexiness with a wealth of iconic quotes and facts about the man - the legend - himself."I did doubt my Kenergy in the beginning. I just wasn't sure I could do it but I just decided I was going to Ken as hard as I can. I Kenned in the morning; I Kenned at night. If I'm honest, I'm Kenning a little right now."Ryan, on channeling his "Kenergy"."Eva's the dream mother, and they're dream babies, and it's like a dream that I'm having right now. I'm dreaming it all."Ryan, on his wife Eva Mendes.Ryan Gosling's live performance of "I'm Just Ken" at the 2024 Academy Awards is already considered one of the most iconic moments in Oscars history. Dressed head-to-toe in pink, Ryan stole the show with Guns & Rose guitarist Slash and Mark Ronson, alongside 65 other "Ken's", and his Barbie co-stars. More than 20 million people tuned in to watch and sales of the song jumped by 900 per cent during the performance.

Ryan Longridge and Diane Hinton had lived in the same city for six years. Yet they had never met. When Diane started her new job at News 24 she was assigned to interview a nearly recluse rancher. Ryan did not want any reporters on his ranch. He preferred working with the animals. But the moment he saw Diane he felt that something about her was different. He had been a loner for seven years. Maybe he had stayed to himself long enough. Perhaps he could benefit from being interviewed. There was only one way to find out.
