Produktbeschreibung
Milton Hancock is a brilliant yet immature teenager who develops a machine capable of transporting objects through time. Things go horribly wrong when two hired hoodlums attempt to steal his project, separating Milton from his girlfriend, Jane, who unexpectedly finds herself transported into the past while Milton is helplessly trapped in a very unwelcoming future. Arrested as an illegal immigrant and thrown into a detention center in the lunar crater, Plato, Milton must use his brilliance and find the courage to make a daring escape from his evil captors. But when the arch villain Bertha is suddenly thrown into the past with plans to destroy their future, only one person will be able to follow her back in time and destroy her...but the one who goes can never return. Author Bio: As a teenager, Richard Meyer enjoyed writing short stories for his little sister, Janet. Inspired by the classics of Charles Dickens, Victor Hugo and Jules Verne, Richard plans to continue writing epic novels, as well as non-fiction stories. He and his wife, Dianne, have two grown children and live in Australia's Gold Coast.
Autorenporträt
Richard Meyer, Robert and Ruth Halperin Professor in Art History, teaches courses in twentieth-century American art, the history of photography, arts censorship and the first amendement, curatorial practice, and gender and sexuality studies. His first book, Outlaw Representation: Censorship and Homosexuality in Twentieth-Century American Art, was awarded the Charles C. Eldredge Prize for Outstanding Scholarship from the Smithsonian American Art Museum. In 2013, he published What Was Contemporary Art?, a study of the idea of "the contemporary" in early twentieth-century American art, and, with Catherine Lord, Art and Queer Culture, a survey focusing on the dialogue between visual art and non-normative sexualities from 1885 to the present. Professor Meyer is interested in the relation between the academic discipline of art history and the practice of museum curating. Prior to arriving at Stanford, he taught undergradaute curatorial courses at USC and the University of Pennsylvania, both of which culminated in museum exhibitions. In 2014, he will co-teach an undergraduate curatorial course with Connie Wolf, the Director of the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford, that will result in a collaboratively organized show at the museum. Outiside the context of university teaching, Meyer served as guest curator of Warhol's Jews: Ten Portraits Reconsidered at the Jewish Museum in New York and the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco and of Naked Hollywood: Weegee in LosAngeles at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.
