Synopsis Shivers Down Your Spine by : Alison Griffiths

From the architectural spectacle of the medieval cathedral and the romantic sublime of the nineteenth-century panorama to the techno-fetishism of today's London Science Museum, humans have gained a deeper understanding of the natural world through highly illusionistic representations that engender new modes of seeing, listening, and thinking. What unites and defines many of these wondrous spaces is an immersive view-an invitation to step inside the virtual world of the image and become a part of its universe, if only for a short time. Since their inception, museums of science and natural history have mixed education and entertainment, often to incredible, eye-opening effect. Immersive spaces of visual display and modes of exhibition send "shivers" down our spines, engaging the distinct cognitive and embodied mapping skills we bring to spectacular architecture and illusionistic media. They also force us to reconsider traditional models of film spectatorship in the context of a mobile and interactive spectator. Through a series of detailed historical case studies, Alison Griffiths masterfully explores the uncanny and unforgettable visceral power of the medieval cathedral, the panorama, the planetarium, the IMAX theater, and the science museum. Examining these structures as exemplary spaces of immersion and interactivity, Griffiths reveals the sometimes surprising antecedents of modern media forms, suggesting the spectator's deep-seated desire to become immersed in a virtual world. Shivers Down Your Spine demonstrates how immersive and interactive museum display techniques such as large video displays, reconstructed environments, and touch-screen computer interactives have redefined the museum space, fueling the opposition between public and private, science and spectacle, civic and corporate interests, voice and text, and life and death. In her remarkable study of sensual spaces, Griffiths explains why, for centuries, we keep coming back for more.

Synopsis When the Shivers Run Down Your Spine by : Ronda West

Kate Plain is just that- plain. She blends into her surroundings and observes. Painfully shy and unaware of any of her potential charms, she just goes to work every day, does her time there, quietly and efficiently and then comes home. At night she puts on fuzzy pajamas, gets a warm cup of coco and then writes lurid stories that are published under an alias. Even the picture on the cover of these books are not of her- they are pictures of her sister Elyse. A high-powered publisher is interested in signing Kate to an exclusive deal that will allow her to write full time but first he wants to meet her. In person. The problem is that he is expecting to see the energetic, sexy and completely uninhibited Elyse and not the shy mouse, Kate. The bigger problem Kate quickly realizes is that her sister is nowhere to be found (as usual) so she will have to take on her look and try to hide the fact that she is so shy and retiring. The publisher, Colton Pidcock is tall, domineering and kind of frightening to poor Kate but there is something else about him, something familiar but something alarming as well. She finds herself shivering nearly every time he is near her and she kind of likes it. As they start getting to know one another, certain things peak Kate's curiosity and she starts digging into the publisher and his mysterious life history. A frantic phone call from her sister's roommate and a few strange phrases from the man himself make her wonder what Colton Pidcock is really up to and what it might mean for her future and her life.
