Baltimore seen through the eyes of John Waters, Anne Tyler, Charles S. Dutton, Barry Levinson, David Simon--and also ordinary citizens.
The city of Baltimore features prominently in an extraordinary number of films, television shows, novels, plays, poems, and songs. Whether it's the small-town eccentricity of Charm City (think duckpin bowling and marble-stooped row houses) or the gang violence of Bodymore, Murdaland, Baltimore has figured prominently in popular culture about cities since the 1950s.
In Come and Be Shocked, Mary Rizzo examines the cultural history and racial politics of these contrasting images of the city. From the 1950s, a period of urban crisis and urban renewal, to the early twenty-first century, Rizzo looks at how artists created powerful images of Baltimore. How, Rizzo asks, do the imaginary cities created by artists affect the real cities that we live in? How does public policy (intentionally or not) shape the kinds of cultural representations that artists create? And why has the relationship between artists and Baltimore city officials been so fraught, resulting in public battles over film permits and censorship?
To answer these questions, Rizzo explores the rise of tourism, urban branding, and citizen activism. She considers artists working in the margins, from the East Baltimore poets writing in Chicory, a community magazine funded by the Office of Economic Opportunity, to a young John Waters, who shot his early low-budget movies on the streets, guerrilla-style. She also investigates more mainstream art, from the teen dance sensation The Buddy Deane Show to the comedy-drama Roc to the crime show The Wire, from Anne Tyler's award-winning book The Accidental Tourist to Barry Levinson's movie classic Diner.

Описание:
"O Holy Night." We sing the lyrics. We love the music. But are we merely mouthing empty words and vain repetitions? Are we just humming the tune? Or do we honestly think about the underlying message? If we pay attention to what the lyrics are saying and concentrate on them in a worshipful attitude, the song takes on a whole new meaning.
This 25-day devotional leads readers through the beloved Christmas carol's inspiring lyrics, and encourages a sense of wonder, awe, and reverence during the holy season leading up to Christmas day, but is equally effective any time of year.

Описание:
Brothers is the story of two young German boys growing up in pre-WWII Germany. The year is 1937 during Hitler's reign of Germany. It is a time of great turbulence and strife. The brothers, Hans and Danny, develop opposing ideologies about the Nazi Reich as a result of their different life experiences and temperaments. The older brother, Hans, is coerced into becoming an SS officer, while his younger brother, Danny, joins a covert resistance movement. This is the story of how the boys learn how to handle this dichotomy. It is a story of love, loyalty, and courage. Finally, this is a story about Fritz, one remarkable dog, who is the personification of all of those characteristics.
Brothers is an historical fiction story that can be enjoyed by anyone from age 13 on up. Due to its rich vocabulary and content it was not designed for younger readers. The story covers many themes, including The Power of One, Bullying, Brotherhood, and True Courage.
