タイトル: Killing Monsters著者: Gerald Jones出版社: Basic Books出版日: 2002年04月03日古本非常に良い。端が少し摩耗しているが、汚れのないきれいな本。製本状態は良好。ダスト ジャケットが付属している場合は、それも含まれます。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。Children choose their heroes more carefully than we think. From Pokemon to the rapper Eminem, pop-culture icons are not simply commercial pied pipers who practice mass hypnosis on our youth. Indeed, argues the author of this lively and persuasive paean to the power of popular culture, even violent and trashy entertainment gives children something they need, something that can help both boys and girls develop in a healthy way. Drawing on a wealth of true stories, many gleaned from the fascinating workshops he conducts, and basing his claims on extensive research, including interviews with psychologists and educators, Gerard Jones explains why validating our children's fantasies teaches them to trust their own emotions, helps them build stronger selves, leaves them less at the mercy of the pop-culture industry, and strengthens parent-child bonds.Jones has written for the Spider-Man, Superman, and X-Men comic books and created the Haunted Man series for the Web. He has also explored the cultural meanings of comic books and sitcoms in two well-received books. In Killing Monsters he presents a fresh look at children's fantasies, the entertainment industry, and violence in the modern imagination. This reassuring book, as entertaining as it is provocative, offers all of us-parents, teachers, policymakers, media critics-new ways to understand the challenges and rewards of explosive material.News From Killing Monsters: - Packing a toy gun can be good for your son-or daughter. Contrary to public opinion, research shows that make-believe violence actually helps kids cope with fears. - Explosive entertainment should be a family affair. Scary TV shows can have a bad effect when children have no chance to discuss them openly with adults.- It's crucial to trust kids' desires. What excites them is usually a sign of what they need emotionally.- Violent fantasy is one of the best ways for kids to deal with the violence they see in real life.

Their peaceful routine is broken when a chaotic energy signature attacks a city, bringing them face to face with a new villain, the Carnage Reaper. The Reaper can manipulate carnage and grows stronger with every act of violence, forcing Pullenboy and The Keeper into a brutal battle.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The heroes are aided by Nexus, a being of pure order, and Genesis, a powerful creator who can manipulate creation itself. Together, they defeat the Carnage Reaper and restore balance to the city, but the victory feels hollow as they realize a new kind of threat has emerged, one that tests the very essence of existence. The Keeper decides to go back in time to stop the energy surge that gave them their powers, hoping to break the cycle of endless battles.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Throughout their journey, they encounter various allies and threats, including the Voidweaver, a being that seeks to unravel the fabric of existence, and the Decaying One, a force of entropy that threatens to consume the universe. They also team up with legendary figures like the X-Men, Spider-Man, and Iron Man to combat these cosmic threats. Along the way, Pullenboy gains new reality-manipulating powers from a Mutagen Orb, which helps him and his team in their battles.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book's themes of unity, hope, and the balance between chaos and order are constant as the heroes' journey continues. They face trials, collect powerful artifacts like the Cosmic Harmony fragments and the Shard of Eternity, and form alliances with powerful beings like the Cosmic Sage, the Grim Reaper, and the Chronarch. The story explores the idea that even the most malevolent forces may not be inherently evil but are driven by a desire for a new order, prompting the heroes to seek redemption instead of just destruction. In the end, their journey is a testament to the power of unity, courage, and the unyielding spirit of guardians who stand for harmony in the face of chaos.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

How strong would Superman have to be to ?leap tall buildings in a single bound Could Storm of the X-Men possibly control the weather? And how many cheeseburgers would the Flash need to eat to be able to run at supersonic speeds? Face front, True Believer, and wonder no more! Because in "The Physics of Superheroes" acclaimed university professor James Kakalios shows that comic book heroes and villains get their physics right more often than you think. In this scintillating scientific survey of super powers you?ll learn what the physics of forces and motion can reveal about Superman's strength and the true cause of the destruction of his home planet Krypton, what villains Magneto and Electro can teach us about the nature of electricity?and finally get the definitive answer about whether it was the Green Goblin or Spider-Man's webbing that killed the Wall Crawler's girlfriend Gwen Stacy in that fateful plunge from the George Washington Bridge! Along the way, "The Physics of Superheroes" explores everything from energy, to thermodynamics, to quantum mechanics, to solid state physics, and Kakalios relates the physics in comic books to such real-world applications as automobile airbags, microwave ovens, and transistors. You?ll also see how comic books have often been ahead of science in explaining recent topics in quantum mechanics (with Kitty Pryde of the X-Men) and string theory (with the Crisis on Infinite Earths). This is the book you need to read if you ever wondered how the Invisible Woman of the Fantastic Four can see when she turns transparent, if the Atom could travel on an electron through a phone line, or if electromagnetic theory can explain how Professor X reads minds. Fun, provocative, and packed with more superheroes and superpowers than an Avengers-Justice League crossover, "The Physics of Superheroes" will make both comic-book fans and physicists exclaim, ?Excelsior!? Quotes: ?"The Physics of Superheroes" is clear, rapid, funny, and endlessly informative? as if Stan Lee and George Gamow had teamed up to battle the nefarious forces of ignorance.? ?Gerard Jones, author of "Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters, and the Birth of the Comic Book" ?Author James Kakalios is a scientific genius who could put Lex Luthor and Dr. Doom to shame. Superman should have him on retainer. I do?because "The Physics Of Superheroes" is this comic-book writer's newest favorite indispensable resource.? ?Mark Waid, writer of "Spider-Man, Superman," and the "Fantastic Four"

Stan Lee is the most legendary name in the history of comicbooks. The leading creative force behind the rise of Marvel Comics, he brought to life some of the world's best-known heroes and most infamous villains. His stories, featuring super- heroes who struggled against personal hang-ups and bad guys who possessed previously unseen psychological complexity, added wit and subtlety to a field previously locked into flat portrayals of good vs. evil. Lee put the human in the super-human. In the process, he created a new mythology for the twentieth century. In this treasure trove of marvelous memories, Stan tells the story of his life with the same inimitable wit, energy, and offbeat spirit that he brought to the world of comicbooks. He moves from his impoverished childhood in Manhattan to his early days writing comicbooks, followed by military training films during World War II, through the rise of the Marvel empire in the 1960s to his recent adventures in Hollywood. The story of a man who earned respect by blazing new creative trails in a storytelling form once dismissed as just for kids, Excelsior! is an inspirational story about following one's vision, no matter the odds. Yet it's also the story of how some of the most exciting and memorable characters in the pop-culture universe came to thrill a generation.

Just like that. Easy as pie.Sure, she hasn't mastered reverse propulsion and her turns are kind of sloppy, but she's real good at loop-the-loops.Problem is, the good folk of Lowland County are afraid of Piper. And her ma's at her wit's end. So it seems only fitting that she leave her parents' farm to attend a top-secret, maximum-security school for kids with exceptional abilities.School is great at first with a bunch of new friends whose skills range from super-strength to super-genius. (Plus all the homemade apple pie she can eat!) But Piper is special, even among the special. And there are consequences.Consequences too dire to talk about. Too crazy to consider. And too dangerous to ignore.At turns exhilarating and terrifying, Victoria Forester's debut novel has been praised by Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight saga, as "the oddest/sweetest mix of Little House on the Prairie and X-Men...Prepare to have your heart warmed." The Girl Who Could Fly is an unforgettable story of defiance and courage about an irrepressible heroine who can, who will, who must . . . fly.This title has Common Core connections.Praise for Victoria Forester and The Girl Who Could Fly "It's the oddest/sweetest mix of Little House on the Prairie and X-Men.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Jim Henson's Tale of Sand Screenplay【電子書籍】[ Jim Henson ]

＜p＞Between 1967 and 1974, Jim Henson and his longtime writing partner Jerry Juhl developed three drafts of a screenplay for a feature-length film entitled TALE OF SAND. It was durning the development of the later drafts of the screenplay that Jim Henson became involved in the production of SESAME STREET and THE MUPPET SHOW, and left behind the experimental filmmaking of his youth to concentrate on the creations that would in time make him a household name. TALE OF SAND remained in the vaults of The Jim Henson Company as the only feature-length screenplay written by Henson that he was never able to produce during his lifetime. Stunningly illustrated and adapted by acclaimed artist Ramon K. Perez (WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN), the most critically acclaimed graphic novel of 2012-- winner of 3 Eisner Awards and 2 Harvey Awards including Best Graphic Album-- finally makes its digital debut on comiXology.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
