Описание: "Often brilliant and invariably provocative." --New York Times Book Review Leave It to Beaver was not a documentary, a man's home has never been his castle, the 'male breadwinner marriage' is the least traditional family in history, and rape and sexual assault were far higher in the 1970s than they are today. In The Way We Never Were, acclaimed historian Stephanie Coontz provides a myth-shattering examination of two centuries of the American family, sweeping away misconceptions about the past that cloud current debates about domestic life. The 1950s do not present a workable model of how to conduct our personal lives today, Coontz argues, and neither does any other era from our cultural past. This revised edition includes a new introduction and epilogue, looking at what has and has not changed since the original publication in 1992, and exploring how the clash between growing gender equality and rising economic inequality is reshaping family life, marriage, and male-female relationships in our modern era. Now more relevant than ever, The Way We Never Were continues to be a potent corrective to dangerous nostalgia for an American tradition that never really existed.

Описание:
The work of Andrzej Wajda, one of the world’s most important filmmakers, shows remarkable cohesion in spite of the wide ranging scope of his films, as this study of his complete output of feature films shows. Not only do his films address crucial historical, social and political issues; the complexity of his work is reinforced by the incorporation of the elements of major film and art movements. It is the reworking of these different elements by Wajda, as the author shows, which give his films their unique visual and aural qualities.

Описание: Through a detailed examination of the party`s post-war development, this book outlines how nostalgia has shaped the party`s trajectory. It argues that Labour`s nostalgically-informed identity has determined the extent to which the party has been able to respond effectively to the changing nature of Britain. -- .

Описание: This books came out of pain, brokenness and heavy breathes. Came out from the struggle of depression, it came out from the inside, my dear. Before you jump into my rivers I have something to tell you .. You are reading my heart, my fear, my hope, my confusion and my peace . You are reading ME. Your soul exists inside mine, my heart beats for you and my tongue speaks for your silence. I write to touch the, dark, broken and most aching side of you. I will speak your pain out. You were never alone, my soul was always around you, feeling you, and hearing your screams.
Описание: The Aesthetics of Nostalgia TV explores the aesthetic politics of nostalgia for 1950s and 60s America on contemporary television. Specifically, it looks at how nostalgic TV production design shapes and is shaped by larger historical discourses on gender and technological change, and America’s perceived decline as a global power. Alex Bevan argues that the aesthetics of nostalgic TV tell stories of their own about historical decline and progress, and the place of the baby boomer television suburb in American national memory. She contests theories on nostalgia that see it as stagnating, regressive, or a reversion to outdated gender and racial politics, and the technophobic longing for a bygone era; and, instead, argues nostalgia is an important form of historical memory and vehicle for negotiating periods of historical transition. The book addresses how and why the shows construct the boomer era as a placeholder for gender, racial, technological, and declensionist discourses of the present. The book uses Mad Men (AMC, 2007-2015), Ugly Betty (ABC, 2006-2010), Desperate Housewives (ABC, 2004-2012), and film remakes of 1950s and 60s family sitcoms as primary case studies.

Описание: These three volumes of poetry are about love, philosophy, war, betrayal, and natural disasters and have a religious theme. The poems are meant to convey home truths and are meant to be enjoyed. They are often very powerful, but some are very whimsical too. They are also meant to offer comfort because every negative situation is a learning curve. It is up to us to take the positives from it.

Описание: The incredible true story of the death of Jimmy Hoffa, the most famous hit in Mafia history. Now a major motion picture.
Описание: This book traces the role of the New Ethnicity in the politics and culture of 1970s United States, and in particular the rise of the New Right. This upsurge in white ethnic consciousness began as a way to express discontent with American society and improve the lives of the working poor, but its alienating rhetoric advanced a conservative agenda.
Описание: In the tradition of Phil Knight's Shoe Dog and Ed Catmull's Creativity Inc. comes the incredible story of how Netflix went from concept to company - all told by co-founder Marc Randolph Silicon Valley lore has it that Netflix was born out of a frustration with video stores' late fees, and while that is a convenient, charming story it is far from the truth. In reality, the idea was just one of many more and far worse proposals, like personalized baseball bats and a shampoo delivery service, that Marc Randolph would pitch to his business partner, Reed Hastings, on their commute to work each morning. From this ever-shifting pool of potential ventures the pair, with Hastings as the primary investor and Randolph as the CEO, took a risk and founded Netflix. Not until years later, when a billion dollar company emerged out of a business model that - after countless disasters and flirtations with bankruptcy - seemed destined for failure would the risk pay off and become one of the mostly incredible and unlikely success stories of our time. Now with over 150 million subscribers the triumph of Netflix feels inevitable, but at a time when brick and mortar video rental stores were king and DVD technology had yet to take off, its success was far from guaranteed. From having to pitch his own mother on being an early investor, to a motel business conference room that served as a first office, to helping develop Netflix's now-famous company culture, Marc Randolph's improbable journey exemplifies how anyone with grit, gut instincts and determination can transform the world we live in. Telling his story in energetic, compelling prose, Marc chronicles the personal and professional labors that went into the creation of the company that has disrupted the very foundations of the entertainment industry.
