"...an unprecedentedly rich source of contemporary science fiction..."METROPOLARITY is a DIY sci-fi collective based, bred, and tested in the colliding future-present of Philadelphia. This Style of Attack Report contains select work from Metropolarity's four founding members, who contribute theory, practice, and experience of home grown speculative visioning for both historical documentation as well as personal and collective survival. The collection serves as a model and a record of how Black, brown, queer, low-resource, working, ill and in-recovery people can project themselves into the future, conjuring resources, technology, and magic that aid us in the present. Also this sci-fi is FIRE cuz the crew don't play.

This volume contains a selection of papers presented at TRAC 2014, as well as some invited contributions. In keeping with the aims of TRAC, several papers make make innovative use of interdisciplinary theory: in humanistic geography, philosophy and archaeology; social psychology; and the cognitive science of religion in the study of Roman monuments, military social history and religion. Other papers share a common theme: the critical interpretation of archaeological evidence. A more careful consideration of non-grave good pottery sherds from graves suggests that these often disregarded items potentially shed light on funerary rites which are usually considered to be invisible; the potential importance of plant remains, particularly of exotic and rare species, in ritual deposits is examined and a new perspective on the negative aspects of Roman conquest of Northern Gaul presented. New approaches towards our understanding of space and landscape in the Roman world comprise an examination of the suburbs of ancient Rome and preliminary results of an ongoing project exploring the relationship between wetland landscapes and domestic settlements, presenting a case study from Spain.

Keep this in your back pocket, tucked between calculus text books, hidden from your step-dad, and left to rot on a public transit seat.

Part memoir, part travelogue, Drinking from the Dragon’s Well is a vivid and warmly personal account of a year spent teaching English in Wuhan, China, and later in Taiwan. One of the drove of foreign teachers to descend upon the once inaccessible People’s Republic of China, Alex Smith arrives filled with great expectations. She proceeds to negotiate a city, and a country, for which no amount of reading could prepare her. Her eagerness to learn the language, make friends and explore the culture often turns to bewilderment as she copes with unglamorous daily life – and with the loneliness of a stranger in a strange land. This is not pre-packaged, tourist China. A keen-eyed and sensitive observer, Smith attempts to plumb the soul of an ancient country that is beginning both to open up to the outside world, and to have a startling impact on it. Her fresh, highly readable narrative draws the reader into the mayhem, mystery and magic of modern-day China with remarkable deftness.

Just as Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book reworked Kipling’s The Jungle Book for a modern audience with a liking for the supernatural, Devilskein & Dearlove is a darker, more edgy, contemporary reworking of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic The Secret Garden. An orphaned teenager is taken in by a reluctant distant relative, and in her new home makes an unexpected friend and finds a secret realm. It has shades of the quirky fantastical in the style of Miyazaki’s (Studio Ghibli) animated films like Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle (originally a novel by Diana Wynne Jones).

Devilskein & Dearlove

Young Erin Dearlove has lost everything in a violent attack on her family. She now lives with her bohemian aunt Kate in a run-down apartment block. Locked into a fantasy of her previous life, she shuns all overtures of friendship from her new neighbours, until she meets Mr Devilskein, the demon who lives on the top floor, and opens a door into another world.
