The CNC Workshop is the only Computer Numerical Control (CNC) text and multimedia package currently available. This flexible, unique package provides many benefits that can't be found in stand-alone texts. Using the multimedia CD-ROM, students can visualize CNC concepts through vivid animations, virtually visit machine shops through videoclips of processes and machine tools, and view numerous examples. The CD also features CNCez, simulation software that actually allows students to program numerical control code and then see a simulation of the tool path or process that the code would generate. The code can also be sent to an actual machine. This package is an excellent simulation and animation tool for milling and turning and can be used to test existing programs or write and edit new programs.

An Adult Coloring Book for Authors! This book will help you paint powerful visual scenes that stick with readers long after they’re finished your book. The techniques described within are simple and easy to use. Think of this as a guided coloring book adventure. YOUR adventure. There are lots of systems and guides to plotting, but if you’re like me you have journals filled with notes, scenes and description... it can get overwhelming. I’ve based this book on traditional three-act story architecture, but it’s greatly simplified. Plotters and pantsers can use the guided exercises to gain greater visual clarity and build more meaningful scenes with resonance. This book will help you get organized and unlock hidden potential in your scenes that you didn’t know was there, by going beyond words and focusing on drawing and coloring your scenes until you have a full outline. This book makes an excellent workbook for writing retreats, is simple enough for children to use (it’s never too early to write your first novel), and introduces a new, and hopefully useful, way to organize your novel, improve your writing, and create unforgettable scenes that will make a deep and lasting impact.

That Moment When: An Anthology of Young Adult Fiction

Short Stories & Anthologies

A history of fallen angels, pirates, revolutionaries and other daring insurgents who liberated humanity and founded the modern world. Paradise Lost is a unique text in that responses to Milton's epic have not evolved in line with trends in literary theory, and instead rehash the three hundred year old disagreement on whether Milton's Satan is, in any sense, either by accident or deliberation, the hero of the story. This dialogue, like the biblical story of the Garden of Eden on which the epic is based, centers on the theme of temptation: in Paradise Lost Satan's deliberate and malicious destruction of Adam and Eve seems to guarantee his guilt, yet it is hard not to sympathize with the heroic passion of Satan's daring odyssey. Many modern critics read this as exactly the genius of Paradise Lost, that it is a seductive text, and that Milton's Satan must be resisted. On the other hand, it's easy to argue that this orthodox reading is medieval--a duty towards obedience to inherited wisdom and the strict containment of your own passionate tendencies; and that this reading is also completely at odds with the liberal, Faustian values of contemporary society. In this thesis, after exploring the orthodox response to Paradise Lost (and the reaction it generates), I'll demonstrate how Milton's writings are symptomatic of an ethical inversion in Western culture, which first caused Satan to be celebrated (as a symbol for revolutionary politics) and later condemned (as humanity confronted the depths of its unrestrained depravity). After tracing how responses to the character of Satan have evolved in literature and entertainment in line with political sympathies, my original contribution to knowledge will be a comparative reading of Paradise Lost through the lens of postmodern thought and existentialism as Satan's over-proximity with the Real (the abyss of freedom creates anxiety which demands action). Satan's crisis of identity can be divided into three major shifts: the development of subjectivity through a crisis of alienation; his resistance to a totalizing power discourse that defines his being; and his ultimate failure to exempt himself from the systemic order that relied on his transgression. The aim of this book will be to show how universally modern thinkers agree on the concept of evil as a negation of what is, in favor of anything else but this--a negation that is paradoxically the source of all human liberty and creativity (which nevertheless leads to death); and also to demonstrate how the silencing of so-called satanic elements allows and perpetuates social injustice and the marginalization of minority voices.
