Death & Grief

Dodd, Mead

For this irresistible collection of outrageous visual puns, artist Derek Pell has imaginatively embroidered upon the physical features of familiar animals to produce a mutated menagerie of impossible creatures. Included are the bald eargull, displaying the head of the national bird and a body comprised of a huge human ear; a beebra (a zebra with bee's wings); a concadillo, combining the aspects of a conch and yes — an armadillo; as well as such absurdities as an eelbarrow from Wheeling, West Virginia; a lighthouse fly from Beacon Hill; a prayhound from Holy Toledo, Ohio; a toot owl from Whistler, Illinois; a vampire brat from Fangor, Maine; and a whelk from Lawrence, Kansas — in all, 60 rib-tickling whatchamacallits. For those puzzlists unable to determine the names of creatures from their pictures, an identifying label is printed upside down beneath each illustration.

A pataphysical interpretation of the Warren Report on the assassination of JFK, which Pell argues should stand as a hallmark of postmodernist fiction. We can testify that, in the annals of conspiracy theory, no one has ever seen anything like Pell's document. A poetic expose of curtain rods, bullet design, and grassy knolls, with a journey through Oswald's secret diary.

This collection of satirical texts skewers and roasts every major work of classic and contemporary erotica, from the KAMA SUTRA to FIFTY SHADES OF GREY. John Strausbaugh in THE NEW YORK PRESS said "Pell's deft lampoons are like precision sniper fire." Novelist Robert Coover said "Derek Pell is a wordplay master and a parodist of great wit and cunning." D. Harlan Wilson calls NAKED LUNCH AT TIFFANY'S "...a true work of literature." Includes a shocking and inflammatory introduction by Nile Southern, author of THE CANDY MEN: THE ROLLICKING LIFE AND TIMES OF THE NOTORIOUS NOVEL CANDY.

Step-by-step examples show all the capitalist tools readers need (like how to use the Timeline and vector drawing tools) to liven up their Web sites with Flash animations, preloaders, fancy bourgeois layouts, and rollovers.

For the first time a Bachelor Degree graduate with a First Class Honours pass shares knowledge and experience with the student community in an effort to help more students graduate with First Class Honours, and raise the awareness of degree education. This book examines the mindset of a First Class student and highlights the strategies and techniques the author used to gain his First Class Honours degree. It will also inspire you to reach for new highs in your degree course and beyond. The student is guided in the process of producing outstanding coursework assessments using real assessment examples (many of which were marked in excess of 70%) which are accessed via the 1stAcademy website. All aspects are covered: essays, reports, preparing presentations, final projects, and exam revision techniques that work, even under exam pressure. The focus is to maintain consistency of marks throughout the degree course. Consistency in marks allows for a 'balance out' effect allowing the student latitude with weaker subjects. As the author says: "It is not ability alone that determines your graduation grade; organisation and applied effort are of equal importance."
