A Man Filled With Love & Rage

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Some books will bend the truth, shade the truth, downright distort and destroy the truth to protect the guilty and the innocent just so they can talk about the book and its characters in abstract terms. Well, that’s not how I play the game. Hell, I never played that damned game at all. This book of poems is actually about A Man Filled With Love & Rage ( and a strong libido). Sound interesting? Buy a copy and read it, you’ll be glad you did. If it doesn’t sound interesting just keep walking, you probably wouldn’t understand it anyway. And that’s about it.

Belly of the Beast

By: Al Ferber

The beast is always there, waiting to consume and digest the least aware among us, the least careful, most unguarded, most distracted. Distracted by song, art, love, and in some rare cases, happiness. Their ultimate destruction is the ultimate goal of the beast. Before digestion he engages through desperation in his victims emotional and spiritual ruination. He is everywhere, he eventually consumes everyone, he is quick but patient and eventually grabs even the most vigilant. Our only saving grace, pleasurable hallucinations before, during the chase, and those we experience in the midst of consumption for those shall be our last. Welcome to that dark dank hopeless place that is his dreaded heartless human rendering belly.

Throwing Beer Cans at the Moon

By: Al Ferber

Is about the Easter egg hunt of the apocalypse, the over cooked hamburger on a stale hamburger bun, the disappointment of an acne breakout just before the senior prom, the green hornet in your omelet, the pecker tracks on brand new sheets, skid marks in your underwear, and he holy book of consistent inconsistencies. Amen. I think. But maybe not.

Six Nights on the Sun

By: Al Ferber

The massive hallucinatory nightmare flashed in fragmented strobe light fashion in his mind, before his eyes, into his ears as sonic booms, shot out through the ends of his fingers, bubbled up in his mouth and down his throat, in what they call “the suicidal delirium tremon dance”. And he danced it straight through its burning end. And out into the scorching world for another lap around the track. And then some.

Next Stop, Hell

By: Al Ferber

We are all on a roller coaster ride. We are all passengers on a runaway train. We are drivers under the influence, of something: love, hate, ambivalence, jealousy, lust, some element of emotion, unbridled passion. We are all careening toward the abyss. We are all on a crash course with isolation, desperation. We are all trapped in burning buildings. We are always just one step away from hell. Heaven & Hell reside within us. Which one, do you think, is behind door number two. These poems provide a roadmap to hell. Good luck on your journey.

Work-Life Advantage

Sustaining Regional Learning and Innovation

By: Al James

Work-Life Advantage analyses how employer-provision of ‘family-friendly’ working arrangements - designed to help workers better reconcile work, home and family - can also enhance firms’ capacities for learning and innovation, in pursuit of long-term competitive advantage and socially inclusive growth. Brings together major debates in labour geography, feminist geography, and regional learning in novel ways, through a focus on the shifting boundaries between work, home, and family Addresses a major gap in the scholarly research surrounding the narrow ‘business case’ for work-life balance by developing a more socially progressive, workerist ‘dual agenda’ Challenges and disrupts masculinist assumptions of the “ideal worker” and the associated labour market marginalization of workers with significant home and family commitments Based on 10 years of research with over 300 IT workers and 150 IT firms in the UK and Ireland, with important insights for professional workers and knowledge-intensive companies around the world

Hotel Fantastique

By: Al Ferber

Hotel Fantastique was built in the early part of an unknown century in a part of a city that was on the edge of a town that was on the outskirts of every dream that was ever dreamt or would ever be dreamed to provide asylum and sanctuary for fugitives from the Killing Fields and the Land of the Screaming Leaves. It is owned and operated by all of those who would be so bold as to trade their grand or meager kingdoms for a dream and send out invitations to all points in geography, space and time. Gus I think it (Hotel Fantastique) is fantastique.....it should be known by the faculty who teach medical ethics clinical care. Spencer M. Marcus, M. D. Well its a bit pricey.....its in a part of town that used to be nice but has become quite seedy....I like that it is near theaters and museums as well as some very fine restaurants...but I still have to explore some of the adjacent alleys.......Herbert L. Martin, Artist, Educator Book me a suite. I hear that Jean-Paul is making a guest appearance this weekend. Is it true? Do I have to bring my own lesbians, or are they provided?"

Private Stash

Love Poems from Heaven and Hell

By: Al Ferber

Al Ferber has created a world as seen through the eyes of Gus. Gus is irascible, nasty, haunted by ghosts, and transformed by his loves. Gus shamelessly invites us into his richly textured fantasies to witness his pain, his doubts, and his exuberance for living. Ferbers Gus is a master of the ordinary. He remembers streets he played on and neighborhoods of childhood conquests and defeats. We share his bed, and the inner recesses of his agile, wily mind. Gus fearlessly shapes poems out of scraps of memory and comes up whole for his efforts. Ferber is an original voice and through Gus spins out vivid scenes from a life."

L' Strange Cafe

By: Al Ferber

L Strange Cafe represents over 200 pages of Al Ferbers work (mainly GUS) and about 150 pages of work by 16 other poets (Gus L Strange Poetics Orchestra & Blues Band) from Orefield, PA to the North & South ends of Bucks County to Center City to South Philadelphia to New Jersey to Maryland to Virginia to South Carolina to Tennessee to the state of Washington. We may not have covered the map but we sure have dotted it some. As you read through the four sections of the book (LStrange Cafe, Up the Alley & Across The Street-Orchestral Movement, Blues Band Jam, & Hallelujah Chorus {for Cathi}) you may notice some interesting poetic conversations going on between poets and poems. You will find poems in collision, one poem amplifying an aspect or aspects of another poem, one poem responding to another, one poem speaking to another, one or more poems replying to another poem. Thats right. Poems talking to each other. Bar talk, as it were. This book is literally a handful, a belly full, a heart full, a soul full, your worst nightmare, your most memorable dream. The cover will knock your socks off. Under the covers will take care of the rest.

The Time of Their Lives

The Golden Age of Great American Book Publishers, Their Editors, and Authors

By: Al Silverman

A lively portrait of mid-twentieth-century American book publishing—“A wonderful book, filled with anecdotal treasures” (The New York Times). According to Al Silverman, former publisher of Viking Press and president of the Book-of-the-Month Club, the golden age of book publishing began after World War II and lasted into the early 1980s. In this entertaining and affectionate industry biography, Silverman captures the passionate spirit of legendary houses such as Knopf; Farrar, Straus and Giroux; Grove Press; and Harper & Row, and profiles larger-than-life executives and editors, including Alfred and Blanche Knopf, Bennett Cerf, Roger Straus, Seymour Lawrence, and Cass Canfield. More than one hundred and twenty publishing insiders share their behind-the-scenes stories about how some of the most famous books in American literary history—from The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich to The Silence of the Lambs—came into being and why they’re still being read today. A joyful tribute to the hard work and boundless energy of professionals who dedicate their careers to getting great books in front of enthusiastic readers, The Time of Their Lives will delight bibliophiles and anyone interested in this important and ever-evolving industry.

The Handshake

By: Ella Al-Shamahi

It's a little book of wonder, it's fantastic' Chris Evans 'A fabulously sparky, wide-ranging and horizon-broadening little study ... joyously unboring' Sunday Times Friends do it, strangers do it and so do chimpanzees - and it's not just deeply embedded in our history and culture, it may even be written in our DNA. The humble handshake, it turns out, has a rich and surprising history. So let's join palaeoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi as she embarks on a funny and fascinating voyage of discovery - from the handshake's origins (at least seven million years ago) all the way to its sudden disappearance in March 2020. Drawing on new research, anthropological insights and first-hand experience, she'll reveal how this most friendly of gestures has played a role in everything from meetings with uncontacted tribes to political assassinations - and what it tells us about the enduring power of human contact. Because the story of the handshake ... is far from over.

Live Fast, Die Young

The Wild Ride of Making Rebel Without a Cause

By: Lawrence Frascella,Al Weisel

The complete story behind the groundbreaking film Rebel Without a Cause is vividly revealed in this fascinating book as provocative as the film itself. The revolutionary film Rebel Without a Cause has had a profound impact on both moviemaking and youth culture since its 1955 release, virtually giving birth to our concept of the American teenager. And the making of the movie was just as explosive for those involved. Against a backdrop of the Atomic Age and an old Hollywood studio system on the verge of collapse, four of Hollywood's most passionate artists had a cataclysmic and immensely influential meeting. James Dean, Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo, and director Nicholas Ray were each at a crucial point in their careers. The young actors were grappling with their fame, burgeoning sexuality, and increasingly reckless behavior, and their on- and off-set relationships ignited as they engaged in Ray’s vision of physical melees and psychosexual seductions of startling intensity. Through interviews with the surviving members of the cast and crew and firsthand access to both personal and studio archives, the authors reveal Rebel's true drama: the director’s affair with sixteen-year-old Wood, his tempestuous “spiritual marriage” with Dean, and his role in awakening the latent sexuality of Mineo, who would become the first gay teenager to appear on film. This searing account of the upheaval the four artists experienced in the wake of Rebel is complete with thirty photographs, including ten never-before-seen photos by famed Dean photographer Dennis Stock.

The Hirschfeld Century

Portrait of an Artist and His Age

By: Al Hirschfeld

I am down to a pencil, a pen, and a bottle of ink. I hope one day to eliminate the pencil. Al Hirschfeld redefined caricature and exemplified Broadway and Hollywood, enchanting generations with his mastery of line. His art appeared in every major publication during nine decades of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, as well as on numerous book, record, and program covers; film posters and publicity art; and on fifteen U.S. postage stamps. Now, The Hirschfeld Century brings together for the first time the artist’s extraordinary eighty-two-year career, revealed in more than 360 of his iconic black-and-white and color drawings, illustrations, and photographs—his influences, his techniques, his evolution from his earliest works to his last drawings, and with a biographical text by David Leopold, Hirschfeld authority, who, as archivist to the artist, worked side by side with him and has spent more than twenty years documenting the artist’s extraordinary output. Here is Hirschfeld at age seventeen, working in the publicity department at Goldwyn Pictures (1920–1921), rising from errand boy to artist; his year at Universal (1921); and, beginning at age eighteen, art director at Selznick Pictures, headed by Louis Selznick (father of David O.) in New York. We see Hirschfeld, at age twenty-one, being influenced by the stylized drawings of Miguel Covarrubias, newly arrived from Mexico (they shared a studio on West Forty-Second Street), whose caricatures appeared in many of the most influential magazines, among them Vanity Fair. We see, as well, how Hirschfeld’s friendship with John Held Jr. (Held’s drawings literally created the look of the Jazz Age) was just as central as Covarrubias to the young artist’s development, how Held’s thin line affected Hirschfeld’s early caricatures. Here is the Hirschfeld century, from his early doodles on the backs of theater programs in 1926 that led to his work for the drama editors of the New York Herald Tribune (an association that lasted twenty years) to his receiving a telegram from The New York Times, in 1928, asking for a two-column drawing of Sir Harry Lauder, a Scottish vaudeville singing sensation making one of his (many) farewell tours, an assignment that began a collaboration with the Times that lasted seventy-five years, to Hirschfeld’s theater caricatures, by age twenty-five, a drawing appearing every week in one of four different New York newspapers. Here, through Hirschfeld’s pen, are Ethel Merman, Benny Goodman, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Katharine Hepburn, the Marx Brothers, Barbra Streisand, Elia Kazan, Mick Jagger, Ella Fitzgerald, Laurence Olivier, Martha Graham, et al. . . . Among the productions featured: Fiddler on the Roof, West Side Story, Rent, Guys and Dolls, The Wizard of Oz (Hirschfeld drew five posters for the original release), Gone with the Wind, The Sopranos, and more. Here as well are his brilliant portraits of writers, politicians, and the like, among them Ernest Hemingway (a pal from 1920s Paris), Tom Wolfe, Charles de Gaulle, Nelson Mandela, Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill, and every president from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Bill Clinton. Sumptuous and ambitious, a book that gives us, through images and text, a Hirschfeld portrait of an artist and his age.

Equivocation in the Theatre of the Absurd

Discourse Analysis

By: Haidar Kareem Al-Aabedi

This book is the first attempt made to analyse the equivocal language of the Absurd Theatre via pure linguistic models carefully employed and illustrated by a wide range of significant examples, questions, and discussions. It provides the multiple tools necessary for understanding this language from various perspectives. Dr. Haidar K. Al-Abedi was Lecturer in English at University of Baghdad, Al-Muthana University, and Al-Israa University College. ``Haidar has to be complimented at the outset for selecting a very interesting topic . . . It is not surprising that a person from Iraq â€“ and the ravages the country is sadly facing these days â€“ is interested in an area which has its significant socio-cultural origin in the ravages of the World War II. The scope of the research also effectively covers the entire school of the British exponents of the Absurd Theatre. In fact, the first chapter discusses the central keyword â€“ equivocation â€“ in scholarly detail. There is an interesting discussion about the various types of equivocation from chapter two to five quite elaborately conducted by the researcher.'' Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee, Saurashtra University, India ``This book is an elaborate analysis of a number of plays written by different dramatists. By elucidating the equivocal verbal and non-verbal communication used by characters, the book addresses a wide range of social, religious, cultural, and political themes and issues which appeal to its audience/readers and are involved in constructing meaning through its peculiar use of language.''

Central West End, St. Louis

By: Al Montesi,Richard Deposki

In the 1860s, with bustling river traffic alive with boats and men, St. Louis was a picturesque river town. This was the St. Louis that Mark Twain, Edna Ferber, and T.S. Eliot wrote about: a town on the mysterious but profitable Mississippi. After the Civil War, profits from contracts with the Union and river trading brought increased wealth to the community. Prosperous residents were challenged to find land that could hold their prestigious mansions and gardens. Their eyes turned to the western section of the town, which in time became known as the Central West End.

Theories of labour market segmentation

A critique

By: Ray Loveridge,A.L. Mok

The objectives of this book are: to review and develop a framework of key analytical concepts in the field of labour market segmentation; to develop and test these concepts against available data; to indicate weaknesses in the data in the light of the analysis; to offer a critique of manpower policies in some European countries in the light of the foregoing analysis; and to indicate areas of further research. The authors hope that this survey of the literature and the comments that accompany it will prove useful to policy makers and students alike. The authors woulp like to acknowledge the role of the Directorate General for Social Affairs of the European Community, Brussels, in initiating and supporting the production of this volume of criticism and discussion. We have especially appreciated the role of David White, on whose advice we came to rely in directing our critique upon the application of segmental theory to matters of labour market policy. Others whose help and advice we have relied on are John Morley, also of the European Community, Peta Small, who typed the several drafts, and our respective wives and families whose encouragement and discreet silences enabled us to get past the nth draft.

Scott and Lori confront dysfunctional family life, sexual temptations, false prophets, race relations, social elitism, and other contemporary problems. How Scott and Lori work through those problems helps us to know how to move from Christian belief into Christian behavior.

Beyond the Lecture

Interacting with Students and Shaping the Classroom Dynamic

By: Katie A. L. McAllister

Higher education is undergoing a reinvention. More and more instruction is moving beyond the traditional lecture to include active learning and engagement supported by technology. Without training, many instructors simply continue to lecture, but those wishing to develop their pedagogy can take action and move beyond passive methods of delivering content. This book is essential reading for novice instructors, for those wishing to shift from lecturing to active learning, and for experienced educators wishing to examine their teaching practice. A detailed discussion of academic research empowers instructors to examine, develop, and justify their approach to teaching. The focus across topics rests on effective interactions and the overall classroom dynamic, grounded in psychology, the science of learning, and perspectives on critical thinking. Each chapter includes self-assessments and “things to try” in order to understand current practice and develop the ability to promote student engagement, foster critical thinking, manage challenging behaviors, and positively shape the classroom dynamic. While the primary audience is the college or university instructor, the key concepts and suggestions in this book are also appropriate for pre-college teachers and for individuals interested in developing effective interpersonal interactions.
