Ad Hoc Arabism is a revealing look at advertising and consumer culture in Saudi Arabia. Through careful study of the marketing strategies and hidden meanings behind the advertisements featured in a leading Saudi women's magazine, Roni Zirinski examines the process whereby international advertisers strip products of any cultural overlay, and then reattach them to local historical symbols. Each chapter is devoted to a specific family of products, such as watches, cars, food items, cosmetics, and electronics. This book provides an invaluable exploration of the inner workings of global advertising through a deep understanding of the cultural economics of the Middle East.

The leading design authority for the last century, AD under Astley is more popular and far-reaching than ever before, featuring a wide range of styles and tastemakers and helping to personalize interior design for us all. This book showcases highly original interiors and the personality and creativity of the bold-faced names who live in them. Spanning the worlds of fashion, music, film, art, and design, the people inhabiting these pages come from around the globe, showing us there are so many ways to create a beautiful home. The interiors encompass different milieus and styles, from city to country, classical to bohemian, modern to old world, including art-filled urban lofts and classic townhouses as well as country estates and tropical getaways. Astley takes us on a personal tour through some of her favorite homes photographed for the magazine, going deeper and showing previously unpublished images. From actor Dakota Johnson s relaxed indoor-outdoor mid-century modern house in Los Angeles to producer and screenwriter Shonda Rhimes s classically elegant New York City apartment, each of these carefully considered spaces reflects the personality and lifestyle of the people who live there. Artist Mariko Mori is shown in her minimalist white pod on a Japanese island, performer RuPaul poses in his glamorously over-the-top Los Angeles villa, and Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz show us the personal side of their strikingly modern home, inviting us into their art-filled living room. With beautiful photography by AD s top photographers, and thoughtful, illuminating texts by Astley and her team of editors on what makes each of these interiors so special, this volume is a celebratory tour de force of design and personal expression.
AD Nauseam: A Survivor's Guide to American Consumer Culture

With the style and irreverence of Vice magazine and the critique of the corporatocracy that made Naomi Klein's No Logo a global hit, the cult magazine Stay Free --long considered the Adbusters of the United States--is finally offering a compendium of new and previously published material on the impact of consumer culture on our lives. The book questions, in the broadest sense, what happens to human beings when their brains are constantly assaulted by advertising and corporate messages. Most people assert that advertising is easily ignored and doesn't have any effect on them or their decision making, but Ad Nauseam shows that consumer pop culture does take its toll. In an engaging, accessible, and graphically appealing style, Carrie McLaren and Jason Torchinsky (as well as contributors such as David Cross, The Onion's Joe Garden, The New York Times's Julie Scelfo, and others) discuss everything from why the TV program CSI affects jury selection, to the methods by which market researchers stalk shoppers, to how advertising strategy is like dog training. The result is an entertaining and eye-opening account of the many ways consumer culture continues to pervade and transform American life.
'All of Nichol's work is stamped by his desire to create texts that are engaging in themselves as well as in context, and to use indirect structural and textual devices to carry meaning. In The Martyrology different ways of speaking testify to a journey through different ways of being. Language is both the poet's instructor and, through its various permutations, the dominant 'image' of the poem. The [nine] books of The Martyrology document a poet's quest for insight into himself and his writing through scrupulous attention to the messages hidden in the morphology of his own speech.' -- Frank Davey
This is a book of poems and stories written by Bruna Di Guseppe's recounting her annual pilgrimages to Italy. The book is written in Italian and comes with many photos of her home town of Tufo.

I didn't "go West young man" seeking fame and fortune. I had no ambition to be a screenwriter. I never dreamed I could do it. Fact is, I had never seen a screenplay, lest of all read one. Instead, Hollywood came to me-"out of the blue." That initial encounter ended up consuming the better part of a twelve-year period in my life, and a hefty sum of money as well.Twenty years have now passed since my initial encounter with Hollywood. And I still receive inquiries asking, "Whatever happened to that big-screen Hollywood movie about the destruction of Jerusalem and the Jewish Temple circa A.D. 70 that you were working on?"This book is my story of the highs and lows I experienced and endured during those twelve years pursuing Hollywood, along with the resultant 125-page (in 81/2 x 11 format) and 12th and final draft of that script/screenplay those years and that adventure produced.Therefore, in this book you will discover: → How Hollywood came to me.→ What a big-budget, action-adventure, historical-epic screenplay looks like.→ How one pitches a project of this scope to producers, agents, and the studios.→ Warnings and dangers for screenwriters to beware of.→ Why Hollywood is the only town in the world where you can die from encouragement.→ Why I departed Hollywood and returned to writing books.
Ad 2188 - The World Under the Grand Caliphate: E Pluribus Umma

Al Kansii is chosen by Sheikh Assam of Ameristan to target the Han Empire's ruling People's Council. By 2188 the Empire is the only remaining independent power of any import as most of the world has become part of the Grand Caliphate. The Council has however Yu Lin, a scientific genius with unbound political aspirations. Can Yu Lin, aided by the beautiful and enigmatic Li Li, defeat the 'Angel of Death', a sci-fi weapon based on quantum tunneling, quantum entanglement, and neutrino beams? Contemporary religious and political issues, part of a long awaited debate, are intertwined with these mysterious concepts of quantum physics in this captivating story - a tale of 'A Thousand and One Nights' set in 2188. Using word plays in several languages and told at times with humor, the story unfolds as Al Kansii travels across continents - Paris, Washington, Kandahar, the Taklimakan and Gobi deserts, Mongolia and Manchuria, and other exotic places - while reflecting on the meanings of his mission, and the meaning of Time. Will he succeed? Will he survive? Will he tell us? Quantum theory is extrapolated to penetrate into the human mind and reach the depths of consciousness and consider the survival of thought after death and its transmission outside the brain. And while Al Kansii pursues his mission, will the Antarctica-based force reminiscent of the early Knights Templar, unsettle the Caliphate? This ambitious intellectual novel presents an aggressive but nonetheless essential thesis that recurs throughout the book, the conquest of peoples and the end of civilizations. The result is a sensation of disquietude in the reader's mind, at times even resignation and ultimately sweet melancholy - the last part of the book is strongly emotional and refers to an altruistic and conciliatory vision that lets us hope for a better world. Politics. Religion. Sci-fi. Metaphysics. Philosophy. "A provocative and truly exceptional novel."
Ad Parnassum is Nancy Weber's offbeat and eclectic novella, written in 1973. Included are two additional short stories: Might Have Been and A Name For It. REVIEWS "The writing in all three works is rich with action and conflict, and it encourages readers to burrow deeper into the hidden layers of meaning." - Publisher's Weekly "A swift, witty metafiction, Parnassus is life as seen through a kaleidoscope, offering a fresh take on a bright, ever-changing scene." - Kit Reed In Ad Parnassum, Nancy Weber has created a novella that is, on the one hand, entirely ingenious, fascinating and clever and, on the other, profoundly moving. More, she has introduced us to a heroine so singular and compelling that we can only hope that Weber will share her with us again, and soon. How Weber accomplishes this feat is as unique as her heroine. Ad Parnassum's extraordinary nonlinear structure (and I will not spoil the surprise by saying more) leads us through a warren of love and sex that are totally separated, sex and love that are complicatedly merged, philosophy where even Eve, Persephone and pomegranates play a role and, yes, cuisine Weber grasps us, plunks us down in the midst of the early seventies - the age of awakening to free love, restless longing to achieve or at least identify and pursue happiness - and takes us on our heroine's delightful, laugh-out-loud journey where there is no fact, conclusion or conviction that cannot be questioned, controverted or, at the least, finessed. A parting but essential note - try the recipes; they are as delectable as this novella. - Sherri Felt Dratfield "Weber is the pointillist of prose, crafting prismatic fragments of images that resonate in one's soul." - Rose Levy Beranbaum, author of The Baking Bible. "Nancy Weber excels at whatever she puts her pen to. In her rediscovered work, Ad Parnassum, dating from 1973, she invented an entirely new style of writing. The reader has to work at unraveling clues, but it's worth it when the pieces of the puzzle come together. There's a double reward, two equally surprising short stories all wrapped up in one package." - Vivian Fancher, Editor, CEOTraveler.com ABOUT THE AUTHOR When Nancy Weber was in second grade at Beach Park Elementary School in West Hartford, Connecticut, her poem, Spring, was published in the sixth grade magazine, causing an elation that shaped her life. If she isn't writing, she's just taking up space. Her books include two slipstream novels, The Playgroup and Brokenhearted; eight romances under the name Jennifer Rose; a pair of YA novels, Double Solitaire; and The Life Swap, the mostly true story of the glorious mess that came about in 1973 when she tried to become Micki Wrangler while Micki was trying to be her. Nancy wrote the American lyrics for Seagull: The Musical with noted Russian composer Alexander Zhurbin. Her pieces on food, sex, travel, and family appear often in www.nycitywoman.com, womensvoicesforchange.org, www.ceotraveler.com, and www.libidoforlife.com. She lives in Greenwich Village, the setting for her next novel, a murder mystery in which lovable swinging seniors are targeted by a repressed food blogger.
