The horses that captured the moviegoers’ hearts are the common denominator in Hollywood Hoofbeats. As author Petrine Day Mitchum writes, “the movies as we know them would be vastly different without horses. There would be no Westerns—no cowboy named John Wayne—no Gone with the Wind, no Ben Hur, no Dances with Wolves…” no War Horse, no True Grit, no Avatar! Those last three 21st-century Hollywood creations are among the new films covered in this expanded second edition of Hollywood Hoofbeats written by the daughter of movie star Robert Mitchum, who himself appeared on the silver screen atop a handsome chestnut gelding. Having grown up around movie stars and horses, Petrine Day Mitchum is the ideal author to pay tribute to the thousands of equine actors that have entertained the world since the inception of the film medium. From the early days of D.W. Griffith’s The Great Train Robbery to Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, this celebration of movies promises something for every Hollywood fan… the raucous comedy of Abbot and Costello (and “Teabiscuit”) in It Ain’t Hay, a classic sports films like National Velvet starring Elizabeth Taylor, a timeless epic with Errol Flynn, and films featuring guitar-strumming cowboys like Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. INSIDE HOLLYWOOD HOOFBEATS Movie trivia and fascinating anecdotes about the stars of yesterday and today An inside look at the stunts horses performed in motion pictures and the lingering controversies Hundreds of illustrations, including rare movie posters, movie stills, and film clips Updated, expanded text including coverage of new movies and photographs Chapters devoted to action films, Westerns, comedies, musicals, child stars, and more Famous TV programs and their horses including Mr. Ed and Silver (Lone Ranger)
Stem cells, particularly pluripotent stem cells, hold significant promise for developing therapies for diseases and disorders for which there are no current treatments and for regenerating human cells, tissues, and possibly even organs. However, to be able to translate stem cell research into therapies, researchers must first address many scientific, ethical, and regulatory hurdles. The need for researchers and sponsors to demonstrate progress and the hopes of patient groups for new therapies have pressured researchers to move quickly into clinical trials and encouraged the opening of clinics offering unproven and unapproved stem cell treatments. This book tells the story of the development of the field, and identifies the ethical issues and challenges stem cell translation raises. It will be of interest to ethicists, scientists, and regulators working in the stem cell field, as well as the general reader following scientific developments.
Winner of the Western Literature Association’s Thomas J. Lyon Award Whether as tourist's paradise, countercultural destination, or site of native resistance, the American Southwest has functioned as an Anglo cultural fantasy for more than a century. In Translating Southwestern Landscapes, Audrey Goodman excavates this fantasy to show how the Southwest emerged as a symbolic space from 1880 through the early decades of the twentieth century. Drawing on sources as diverse as regional magazines and modernist novels, Pueblo portraits and New York exhibits, Goodman has crafted a wide-ranging history that explores the invention, translation, and representation of the Southwest. Its principal players include amateur ethnographer Charles Lummis, who conflated the critical work of cultural translation; pulp novelist Zane Grey, whose bestselling novels defined the social meanings of the modern West; fashionable translator Mary Austin, whose "re-expressions" of Indian song are contrasted with recent examples of ethnopoetics; and modernist author Willa Cather, who demonstrated an immaterial feeling for landscape from the Nebraska Plains to Acoma Pueblo. Goodman shows how these writers—as well as photographers such as Paul Strand, Ansel Adams, and Alex Harris—exhibit different phases of the struggle between an Anglo calling to document Native and Hispanic difference and America's larger drive toward imperial mastery. In critiquing photographic representations of the Southwest, she argues that commercial interests and eastern prejudices boiled down the experimental images of the late nineteenth century to a few visual myths: the persistence of wilderness, the innocence of early portraiture, and the purity of empty space. An ambitious synthesis of criticism and anthropology, art history and geopolitical theory, Translating Southwestern Landscapes names the defining contradictions of America's most recently invented cultural space. It shows us that the Southwest of these early visitors is the only Southwest most of us have ever known.

Amantine Aurore Lucile Dupin de Francueil naît à Paris en 1804. Fille d’un officier de l’armée impériale, elle est aussi l’enfant d’un siècle nouveau, qui s’ouvre sur toute une génération d’écrivains et d’artistes romantiques, dont elle fera partie. En 1822, elle épouse le baron François Casimir Dudevant et obtient son titre. La naissance de George Sand survient huit ans plus tard, à la faveur des Trois Glorieuses, qui marquent sa première prise de conscience politique. Elle quitte Nohant pour rejoindre Paris, commence à écrire, prend part à un groupe de littéraires romantiques et endosse une redingote masculine. Indiana, publié en 1832, marque le début d’une longue série de soixante-dix romans, auxquels s’ajoute une cinquantaine de nouvelles, pièces de théâtre et textes politiques. Sa vie intime est faite de liaisons passionnées, d’amours orageuses en compagnie de Musset, et de générosité envers ses amis artistes. Séparée de son mari, elle s’engage en 1848 aux côtés de Louis Blanc, soutient la cause féminine et participe à la lutte contre les inégalités sociales en publiant dans plusieurs journaux tels que la Cause du Peuple ou la Vraie République. De nombreuses lithographies issues de la presse d’opposition fleurissent alors à son encontre. Dans sa maison de Nohant, haut-lieu de la vie Romantique au XIXe siècle, George Sand reçoit les plus brillants esprits de l’époque : des écrivains comme Alexandre Dumas ou Gustave Flaubert, des cantatrices comme Pauline Viardot, son ami le peintre Eugène Delacroix, Jérôme Bonaparte, cousin germain de l’Empereur Napoléon 1er, ou encore le compositeur Frédéric Chopin, avec qui elle partage sa vie pendant près de dix ans. Cet ouvrage dresse le portrait intime, intellectuel et politique de cette femme, partagée entre deux classes sociales, mais actrice des changements d’un siècle. Le mythe qu’elle s’est construit elle-même grâce à son travail, ses engagements et sa manière avant-gardiste de réfléchir sur son époque, fait aujourd’hui d’elle, la plus grande femme de lettres du XIXe siècle. Audrey Pennel est Docteure en Histoire de l’art, diplômée de l’Université de Bourgogne. Elle anime régulièrement des conférences traitant de sujets relatifs au Moyen Âge tardif ou au XIXe siècle, notamment à propos du mouvement Romantique dans les arts, en politique et littérature, dont George Sand demeure une illustre représentante.
