Описание: As Buster Keaton told an interviewer in 1965, “When I'm working alone, the cameraman, the prop man, the electrician, these are my eyes out there.... They knew what they were talking about”. Drawn from film trade magazines, newspapers, interviews and public records, this book tells the previously unpublished stories of the behind-the-scenes crew who worked on Keaton's silent films - like Elgin Lessley, who went from department store clerk to chief cameraman, and Fred Gabourie, who served as an army private in the Spanish American War before he became Keaton's technical director.“I'd ask, 'Did that work the way I wanted it to?' and they'd say yes or no”, Keaton said of his crew. He couldn't have made his films without them.

Renew your FAITH in Joseph Smith, the Book of Mormon, and the Restoration-and better understand the TRUE HISTORY behind why so many are now suffering from a crisis of faith.
During the 20th century, an organized objective to rewrite Latter-day Saint history from within, unbeknownst to the general Church membership, went head to head behind the scenes with traditional leaders of the Church. Meet the main players of this conflict: Leonard Arrington-progressive "Father of New Mormon History," Ezra Taft Benson-traditionalist defender, and many other advocates of traditionalist and progressive Latter-day Saint history.
As traditionalists and progressives sparred during the 1970s-1980s, a covert cold war commenced in Salt Lake City, Utah, with the progressives spying on the traditionalists, and the traditionalists spying on the progressives. Secret informants, leaked documents, falsified reports, and even employed pseudonyms-all were part of this struggle to dominate Latter-day Saint history. But how did, and does, this secret conflict affect you? Progressives, working in the Church History Department and at Brigham Young University, claimed 40 years ago that it would take a generation to re-educate the Church. Where are we now in that re-education?

Описание: "The Feeling" is a unique work of non-fiction representing the exposure of a secretive narrative that has been waiting in the wings for 30 years. It tells the story of Rachel and Michael Sanders, a couple living a suburban New York lifestyle in the 70s, appearing to be "The Brady bunch," but behind closed doors is anything but that. Michaels remorseless cheating interludes are linked to his unceasing anger and volatile moods. Rachel unlocks her husbands illicit affair, but her prime concern is to guard this secret, as she presumes, it is HER humiliation. It was a time when womens voices were hushed. Her spot-on "Pearl Harbor" attack directed to his mistress is boldly manipulative. Elements intriguing the reader are not limited to anger turning to rage, fear, deceitful cheating, sex, family, manipulation, and losses. What has the appearance of a normal family to others, is in no way the case. The story is an in-depth exploration of how feelings, simple or complex, acted upon or not, can change lifes outcome for a family. "The Feeling" is not your usual story of, "Boy meets girl, girl marries boy, boy cheats on girl," and so forth. The odd behavioral pattern in Michaels personality constructs a narrative not to be confused with ordinary. In addition, Rachels all-important feelings mature and ultimately reach an explosive point. This is the true study of Rachels ability to progress in life. It is feelings that promote actions, and actions that have consequences. Primarily, it is the unspoken feeling, the one that clearly tells you deep down, that all is not well that prompted the title.

Описание: Frequently surprising, sometimes bloody, and always absorbing, Behind Enemy Lines offers up tales of espionage, hit-and-run raids, and guerrilla warfare. The book provides a new perspective on familiar aspects of Civil War history, including shadowy agents, women using their feminine wiles, unashamed looting, and vengeful crusades. Popular historian Wilmer L. Jones reveals that, by subverting the methods of traditional warfare, small and sometimes unorganized groups as well as intrepid spies, daring raiders, and mutinous guerrillas turned the tide of the Civil War far from the fronts of the now-legendary battlefields. Each of the three sections--spies, raiders, and Guerrillas--introduces riveting accounts of the often-overlooked heroes and heroines of unconventional warfare. Behind Enemy Lines spotlights such fabled infiltrators as Belle Boyd, Allen Pinkerton, and Timothy Webster. It also examines how the South, with its daring cavalry and constant struggle for supplies, resorted to sometimes brutal offensives led by men like Turner Ashby, John Mosby, and John Hunt Morgan. Finally, the gripping and detailed narrative peers into the bloody guerrilla warfare, spotlighting John Brown, William Clark Quantrill, and Bloody Bill Anderson, as well as the genesis of the James-Younger Gang. Civil war buffs, history lovers, and espionage enthusiasts will find this fascinating volume a welcome addition to their libraries.

Описание:
"A vivid, engaging exploration of Cuban politics, culture and economic life."--America
"Considerably deeper than much of the work on the subject. It takes on the challenge of describing what's in a black box with energy and candor."--VisitCuba.com "The most informative, accurate, insightful, detailed account available on twenty-first century Cuba."--HavanaTimes.org "Marc Frank is the best foreign journalist reporting from Cuba today. We now have a behind-the-scenes look at the changes large and small taking place as the Cuban revolution molts from Fidel to Raul to the next generation."--Julia Sweig, author of Cuba: What Everyone Needs to Know
"A must-read book to grasp what has been happening in Cuba over the past ten years."--Wayne Smith, director of the Cuba Project, Center for International Policy
"Frank enriches his fascinating reportage with his unparalleled access to expressive Cubans from all walks of life."--Richard Feinberg, University of California, San Diego
"With a sharp eye for human detail and a clear understanding of what makes Cuba tick, Frank's narrative bears eloquent, balanced, and always sensitive witness to the troubled trajectory of Cuba from the 'dark days' of the 1990s economic collapse through to the challenging changes under Raul. It genuinely gets 'inside' the otherwise confusing system and society, and is all the more welcome for that."--Antoni Kapcia, coeditor of The Changing Dynamic of Cuban Civil Society
"Gripping and insightful. It is rare indeed to find reporting as authoritative and well sourced as this about what remains an impenetrable and opaque regime."--Michael Reid, author of Forgotten Continent: The Battle for Latin America's Soul
As a U.S.-born journalist who has called Havana home for almost a quarter century, Mark Frank has observed in person the best days of the revolution, the fall of the Soviet bloc, the great depression of the 1990s, the stepping aside of Fidel Castro, and the reforms now being devised by his brother. In Cuban Revelations, Frank offers a first-hand account of daily life in Cuba at the turn of the twenty-first century, the start of a new and dramatic epoch for islanders and the Cuban diaspora.
Examining the effects of U.S. policy toward Cuba, Frank analyzes why Cuba has entered an extraordinary, irreversible period of change and considers what the island's future holds. The enormous social engineering project taking place today under Raul's leadership is fraught with many dangers, and Cuban Revelations follows the new leader's efforts to overcome bureaucratic resistance and the fears of a populace that stand in his way.
In addition, Frank offers a colorful chronicle of his travels across the island's many and varied provinces, sharing candid interviews with people from all walks of life. He takes the reader outside the capital to reveal how ordinary Cubans live and what they are thinking and feeling as fifty-year-old social and economic taboos are broken. He shares his honest and unbiased observations on extraordinary positive developments in social matters, like healthcare and education, as well as on the inefficiencies in the Cuban economy.
Ultimately, Cuban Revelations is an objective account by a reporter who has lived with the Cubans for many years as their old world falls apart and they set about trying to build a new one.

Описание: "A Christmas Story" has become a perennial holiday favourite since its release in 1983. While millions watch the movie every year on television, few know the story behind the film's production, release, and unlikely ascent. Ralphie Parker's quest for "a Red Ryder carbine action, two hundred shot Range Model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing which tells time" didn't begin or end with the release of Bob Clark's sleeper hit. Adapted from Jean Shepherd's radio broadcasts and short stories, A Christmas Story has inspired a mountain of merchandise, sequels, a stage adaptation, and a big-budget Broadway musical. There's also a tourist attraction in Cleveland and annual conventions. Not bad for a movie that was only a modest hit during its original theatrical run. Now, in time for its 30th anniversary, the story of the making of the film -- and what happened afterwards -- is being told for the first time. Complete with rare and previously unreleased photographs and drawing on original interviews with cast and crew, "A Christmas Story: Behind the Scenes of a Holiday Classic" is sure to make you glad you didn't shoot your eye out
