Extra Lives: Why Video Games Matter $13.39 Tom Bissell is a prizewinning writer who published three widely acclaimed books before the age of thirty-four. He is also an obsessive gamer who has spent untold hours in front of his various video game consoles playing titles such as Far Cry 2 Left 4 Dead BioShock and Oblivion for literally days. If you are reading this flap copy the same thing can probably be said of you or of someone you know. Until recently Bissell was somewhat reluctant to admit to his passion for games. In this he is not alone. Millions of adults spend hours every week playing video games and the industry itself now reliably outearns Hollywood. But the wider culture seems to regard video games as at best well designed if mindless entertainment. Extra Lives is an impassioned defense of this assailed and misunderstood art form. Bissell argues that we are in a golden age of gaming-but he also believes games could be even better. He offers a fascinating and often hilarious critique of the ways video games dazzle and just as often frustrate. Along the way we get firsthand portraits of some of the best minds (Jonathan Blow Clint Hocking Cliff Bleszinski Peter Molyneux) at work in video game design today as well as a shattering and deeply moving final chapter that describes in searing detail Bissell"s descent into the world of Grand Theft Auto IV a game whose themes mirror his own increasingly self-destructive compulsions. Blending memoir criticism and first-rate reportage Extra Lives is like no other book on the subject ever published. Whether you love video games loathe video games or are merely curious about why they are becoming the dominant popular art form of our time Extra Lives is required reading. From the Hardcover edition. |

Why Boys Fail $14.69 The signs and statistics are undeniable: boys are falling behind in school. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the biggest culprits are not video games, pop culture, or female-dominated schools biased toward girls. The real problem is that boys have been thrust into a bewildering new school environment that demands high-level reading and writing skills long before they are capable of handling them. Lacking the ability to compete, boys fall farther and farther behind. Eventually, the problem gets pushed into college, where close to 60% of the graduates are women. In a time when even cops, construction foremen, and machine operators need post-high school degrees, that's a problem. Why Boys Fail takes a hard look at how this ominous reality came to be, how it has worsened in recent years, and why attempts to resolve it often devolve into finger-pointing and polarizing politics. But the book also shares some good news. Amidst the alarming proof of failure among boys around the world there are also inspiring case studies of schools where something is going right. Each has come up with realistic ways to make sure that every student male and female has the tools to succeed in school and later in life. Educators and parents alike will take heart in these promising developments, and heed the book's call to action not only to demand solutions but also to help create them for their own students and children. |
