Book Culture and Narrative in Martin’s \u3ci\u3eA Song of Fire and Ice\u3c/i\u3e
Get PDFWhat do books represent in G.R.R. Martin\u27s A Song of Ice and Fire? This article examines their role as objects and their limitations within a narrative obsessed with loss of knowledge. Books, which are handled, lost, found, read, or destroyed, are both a shorthand for a fantasy world’s material culture, but also a metafictional nod to the reality of the reader. Contemporary fantasy authors, I posit, are both fascinated by texts, and also troubled by their limited chance of survival over the very long periods that the genre tends to sketch. Deep time is hostile to book knowledge, and it is the loss of knowledge that poses the greatest challenges to fantasy realms so concerned with the distant past. Contemporary fantasy is occupied by the assumption that knowledge must be sought where it is hidden; that book learning is marginalised and dismissed; that there is a scarcity of both books and knowledge more generally; but that the ‘hidden truth’ might not, in the end, be trustworthy. In short, transmission of information is threatened; and if Martin’s epic is also a meditation on climate catastrophe, these anxieties conjure a feeling of transcience and threat

38. Inlet Spools Fixture
No full textThis capstone project, Inlet Spools Fixtures and Time Savings Analysis, focuses on the lack of fixtures and alignment of weldolets on the inlet spool. Designing a fixture for inlet spools ensures the precise and efficient alignment of weldolets, ultimately saving time and reducing costs. A time study is first conducted on the current process, followed by the design and development of a new fixture, concluding with testing and analysis of the results. The newly developed fixture streamlines the alignment of weldolets and allows workers to begin tack welding immediately, securing them in place. This improvement significantly reduces production time and labor costs.https://dc.swosu.edu/rf_2025/1030/thumbnail.jp

Get PDFGreetings, COP Community!
We are so proud of our student pharmacists and graduates. Whenever I meet alumni, I am impressed by their accomplishments. To look back and remember their first weeks of pharmacy school and to now hear about their career journey and successes reminds us of how a quality pharmacy education can positively impact the personal and professional growth of young people. It also helps us as teachers, preceptors, and mentors to remember why we have dedicated our careers to pharmacy education. The COP is 85 years young, and we continue to strive to provide a personalized educational experience that prepares graduates to be practice ready in an evolving and changing landscape.
With kindest regards,
