      As the Modernist dream of a world purged of archaic decor and ornamentation recedes we should remember that the diet of a raw, umediated universe has always unsettled Homo Sapiens. This books looks at some of these mediations: How do we transform the stuff of the world and impart it with familiarity? How do pets come to be invested with pleasing form? How did provocative woman? And why is oil paint the ultimate "plastic" material, capable of mimicking everything under the sun - and a few other things besides? Taking its inspiration from Gaston Bachelard's idea of a material imagination, this book looks beyond the labour that ensures physical survival to the elaboration of the world into forms that accommodate our collective desires.

      Putting A Face On Things
    • Turk is a frustrated claims adjuster for a large insurance company and has developed a plan that will free him from his boring life and make him rich. If successful, his plan will liberate a vast majority of human beings from the drudgery and monotony of their jobs. Turk hopes to create the Primo-Primate Project and train chimpanzees to operate technology like cash registers or machines used in manufacturing. Consumers would be able to buy the chimps as surrogate workers, in turn freeing humanity from the mundane and dull. Due to his job, Turk has access to the personal information of policyholders. To finance his project, he develops a scheme to embezzle money from the company by creating a fictitious claimant who suffers an injury. Once he crosses the line into white-collar crime, Turk's life spirals out of control. He wanted excitement and more-and now, he's got it, as he faces either madness or revelation.

    • This book, called "I See You" explores how perceptions you have of other people and yourself, drives how you approach relationships with people that are not like you in some way. My goal is to use this book to target young people (and really all people) and to inspire them to separate their perceptions and their treatment of others which will ultimately lead to my goal of seeing more unity in society. 3 core ideas•In order to affect change, we must first seek to understand ourselves•The world becomes a better place only when individuals seek to understand others•Trying to fit others into our expectations only widens the gap between people
