The often forgotten role of Catholic sisters is told in experiences deeply rooted in self-realization and feminist methodology. In this collection of thirteen essays the contributors illuminate the little known world of a very creative and committed community of women—their aspirations, their values, their mission. An often neglected part of feminist research, this type of sisterly collaboration affirms the seminal paradigms in women's work and writing. These essays deal with many of the same issues of power, economic autonomy, friendship, spirituality, socialization, and professional commitment encountered in other feminist endeavors. Building Sisterhood gives the reader insight into the rigorous training involved in becoming a nun, including the complex relationships between the Monroe community, other IHM sites, and within the intricate church hierarchy. Feminist historian Margaret Susan Thompson places the essays within a historical context and provides detailed background for those unfamiliar with the life, duty, and experience of Catholic sisters. This book will make a unique contribution to feminist scholarship, religious studies, and women's history

On a planet called Frandis is a continent called Traztajor, which is divided into eight countries. Kangalor in the west is the largest of these countries. In the north, an area known as the upland is under the despotic rule of Zackard Lei, who is ruthless, brutal, and mad. Lei, the leader of the Das Blaazd Society of Thaumaturgery, has once before made war on the midland and downland areas of Kangalor, bringing much death and devastation until he was driven back behind his own borders by the brilliant and courageous leadership of Zaland Arj, the formidable leader of the Maj Society of Thaumaturgery. For five years, there was peace. Now Lei is plotting mayhem and turmoil for the unsuspecting population of Kangalor. He has developed a huge cannon and explosive devices to use against the Kangalor Army. He has ordered the building of a large fleet of ships whose only purpose is to land Leis soldiers, under blaazd leaders, all along the west coast of Kangalor and let his soldiers burn, slaughter, and plunder as they please. But there are dragons whose powerful black leader, the mighty Zagog, brings terrible revenge that will help to overturn Leis plans.

A deep dive into the trailblazing simulation game SimCity, situating it in the history of games, simulation, and computing. Building SimCity explores the history of computer simulation by chronicling one of the most influential simulation games ever made: SimCity. As author Chaim Gingold explains, Will Wright, the visionary designer behind the urban planning game, created SimCity in part to learn about cities, appropriating ideas from traditions in which computers are used as tools for modeling and thinking about the world as a complex system. As such, SimCity is a microcosm of the histories and cultures of computer simulation that engages with questions, themes, and representational techniques that reach back to the earliest computer simulations. Gingold uses SimCity to explore a web of interrelated topics in the history of technology, software, and simulation, taking us far and wide—from the dawn of programmable computers to miniature cities made of construction paper and role-play. An unprecedented history of Maxis, the company founded to bring SimCity to market, the book reveals Maxis’s complex relations with venture capitalists, Nintendo, and the Santa Fe Institute, which shaped the evolution of Will Wright’s career; Maxis’s failure to back The Sims to completion; and the company’s sale to Electronic Arts. A lavishly visual book, Building SimCity boasts a treasure trove of visual matter to help bring its wide-ranging subjects to life, including painstakingly crafted diagrams that explain SimCity’s operation, the Kodachrome photographs taken by Charles Eames of schoolchildren making model cities, and Nintendo’s manga-style “Dr. Wright” character design, just to name a few.
