  Escaping Korth (Before The Fall, #3) (eBook, ePUB)

  As if the threat of torture and interrogation isn't enough… K'urt Knox, a Korthan cyborg warrior assigned to interrogate human combatants alongside his mogha companion, W'ard, is complicated by the fact that when they enter the prison cell this time, he can't speak. He knows this prisoner from his childhood, from a time when Korthans and humans lived together in peace. Now, he recognizes the fully mature human female combatant he is supposed to interrogate as his mate. Liana Walker is an agronomist for the Human Colony Alliance. Studying newly terraformed soil on a neutral world, she is pleased to find the terraforming process worked. Her pleasure soon turns to fear when she is captured by Korthan warriors. With no end of war between their peoples in sight, the Korthans declare her a combatant and imprison her on Korth-with a deadly creature hiding in Liana's dark cell. Attraction and longing build between Liana and K'urt, but there is something else lurking in the shadows, something W'ard is determined to dispatch once and for all. Meanwhile, K'urt must try to find a way to convince the Korthans that Liana isn't a combatant and deal with the fact that his fated mate is a sworn enemy. If their love is to stand a chance, they need to find a way to escape Korth. Will Liana recognize K'urt from their childhood, and if she does, will she trust him and the feelings growing between them before it is too late?

  The Life and Death of Objects (eBook, PDF)

  Lars Lerup's conceptual explorations as a designer and thinker have been inspired by philosophers and artists from Foucault to Beckett. Lerup's furniture designs elude consumer culture. They conform neither to what is commonly understood as useful nor to what is typically regarded as necessary. They question the assumed functions of furniture and, at the same time, their assigned place in space. His pieces interrogate their roles and positions and introduce a disturbing or at least disconcerting note to conventional floor plans. This autobiography of a design project is about rendering visible the consumerism that is driving the current economically motivated expansion of our cities, and dealing with the consequences for the environment and society.

  Conversations on Violence

  Whether physical or metaphorical, institutional or interpersonal, violence is everywhere. A seemingly immutable fact of life, it is nonetheless rarely engaged with at the conceptual level. What does violence actually mean? And is it an inevitable part of the human condition? Violence: An Anthology brings together many of the world's leading critical scholars, artists, writers and cultural producers to provide a kaleidoscopic exploration of the concept of violence. Through in-depth interviews with thirty figures including Marina Abramovic, Russell Brand and Simon Critchley, Brad Evans and Adrian Parr interrogate violence in all its manifestations, including its role in politics, art, gender discrimination and decolonisation. Provocative, eye-opening and bracingly original, Violence: An Anthology sheds light on a defining political and ethical concern of our age.
