Population Solutions?

December 12, 2009 by ctaylor5uk
This topic is very prominent in the news right now, and rightly so. Dr. Jack Kervorkian (AKA Dr. Death) has recently published a book - When the People Bubble POPs is a clear and detailed analysis of human overpopulation of Planet Earth.

“Not many of us know what chaos really implies: it is
usually defined as confusion, a mixed mass without due
form or order. Life under such conditions is unimaginable
if not experienced first-hand. And it is inevitably coming
for all humanity to experience as part of a cataclysm of
monumental magnitude caused by the “crime” of
widespread “biocide” and the involuntary suicide now
being senselessly committed by the kind of serial biological
killers called us.”

 cover by Chris Taylor - ctaylor5uk@yahoo.co.uk

 From the introduction -
 This is a very unusual book, which it is meant to be.
Parts of it, like fiction, would seem to overstep one’s
conventional idea of ordinary propriety as well as limits of
decently fanciful human imagination. But some readers will
persevere out of piqued curiosity underscored by an
uneasy feeling that the book’s message, no matter how
outlandish it may at first strike one to be, somehow seems
relevant and important to one’s own existence. Others may
choose to read on merely because they find the book’s
pretentiously farcical seriousness somewhat amusing.
Nevertheless, I trust that every reader will in the
end conclude that such judgments should be of little
concern and that what really matters is reflection on its
dour message, which must be pondered by every sentient
person of every color and race everywhere on this ailing
earth. To many, the message may be unconvincing,
ludicrous, and totally incapable of provoking action on any
of the extraordinary and weighty, even revolutionary,
corrective or preventive measures called for. Therefore, it
is imperative that this book’s message be deeply and
permanently ingrained in human consciousness—that this
book at least be read. And, for that alone, I thank you.
 
This book contains his theories on how to overcome our
population issues – some of which you will find disturbing!!

I think I am going to enter more of these competitions, if you do well the publicity is massive (the prize isn’t bad either).

If you know of any similar competitions please let me know.

Object of Dreams

January 17, 2010 by ctaylor5uk
A new Liverpool magazine is soon to be published – Object of Dreams.
 
I have recently helped design some of the mag for them (check out the reviews and bars pages).
I like what Object of Dreams stands for and its editors have a clear passion and drive…
 
“Object of Dreams is a bi-monthly magazine, published by Object Publishing.
Mourning the gap for showcasing talent in Liverpool Object of Dreams was begun by Liverpudlian progenies Dina Karim and Louise Dalrymple.
It is a platform for up and coming artists and writers to showcase their work to a city we love in all its glory.
Offering combined media experience of over a decade, Dina acts as Editor and Louise as Creative Director.
Object of Dreams is at the forefront of cutting edge commentary and design providing the people of Liverpool with a magazine aimed for the bookshelves.
This is the fruits of our labour, our homage to Liverpool, the object of our dreams.”
 
Tonight -
Liverpool’s Radio City 96.7 FM will be interviewing Editor of Object of Dreams Dina Karim on Sunday, from 7pm to 8pm. Listen live!

Got this Derwent sketching set of my sis and thought I’d test them out. No reason for the choice of image other than it was in a magazine next to me – but stuck at home because of the snow. (dam!!)

 

what a lovely gift. ta sis.

Life of Pi

January 6, 2010 by ctaylor5uk

Just finished a book called Life of Pi, by Yann Martel.

I ‘borrowed’ this book from my sis, I picked it up because of the design and striking illustration. It has actually won the Man Booker Prize in 2002 so thought would give it a go.

‘Brilliant read’ is my conclusion, I am not going to tell you all about it but because of the way its written I kept forgetting its fiction and believing this boy went through these emotions and saw these sites. Funny in parts emotional in others, this plus the superb illustrations by Tomislav Torjanac (who won a competition for the honor) creates a fine story and is esthetically top draw.

‘ After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, one solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra with a broken leg, a female orang-utan- and a 450 -pound Royal Bengal tiger.

Review an interesting book and I will post it here (within reason!!)
