Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Film)

By: Christina St-Jean

ABOUT THE BOOK When Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and their friends first arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the literary world was set ablaze. Readers young and old alike were captivated by this group of inquisitive, spunky and daring youth, and it didn’t take long for the powers that be to decide to bring Harry Potter and Hogwarts to the big screen. Legions of fans followed Harry, Ron and Hermione through to the last book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and eagerly anticipated the final book’s launch to the big screen. When Part One of the film came out in November, 2010, the Broadcast Film Critics’ Association was impressed, giving the film 87 out of a possible 100 points. Part 1 went on to rack up nearly a billion dollars worldwide, becoming the third highest grossing movie of 2010, behind Toy Story 3 and Alice in Wonderland. It seemed an interminable wait for Part 2 to hit theatres, but when it did in July, 2011, the fans were profusely appreciative, coming out in droves to wait in line for ticket pre-sales. In fact, the film broke a pre-sales record; $32 million was grossed in pre-sales alone. As expected, the film was lauded and earned an estimated $1.3 billion in worldwide revenues. MEET THE AUTHOR Chris St-Jean is an Ontario English teacher with a great passion for American literature in particular and the written word in general. Her two daughters, aged 3 and 7, also seem to have a love of books. She follows global events as closely as she can but also enjoys entertainment news. Currently, she is working towards a black belt in karate EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK David Yates, who also directed Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, directed both parts of the series finale. David Heyman returned as producer, as he had done for the other films of the series, and was joined by J.K. Rowling and David Barron. It was Heyman himself who discovered the as-yet unpublished Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone manuscript back in 1997. He admits that the response from the fans was unprecedented for him; in fact, no other film series followed the same characters throughout a linear storyline throughout eight films. The series, in fact, has gone on to become the highest-grossing series of films of all time. Perhaps what has also helped make the series so successful is having the same screenwriter at the helm for six of the seven books. Buy a copy to keep reading!

The Big Bang Theory: Behind the Scenes of the Hit TV Show

By: Christina St-Jean

This book is part of Hyperink's best little books series. It's close to 3,000 words of fast, entertaining information on a highly demanded topic. Based on reader feedback (including yours!), we may expand this book in the future. If we do so, we'll send a free copy to all previous buyers. ABOUT THE BOOK Who knew that a show about nerds would be so unspeakably cool? That a UCLA particle physics professor would be hired to ensure scientific accuracy throughout a 30 minute CBS sitcom? Apparently, the producers and creators of the smash hit The Big Bang Theory did, and the show now boasts some 12 million viewers a week. And it seems that the show is also inspiring would-be and current physicists (and other scientists, too); according to the show’s science consultant, Dr. David Saltzberg of UCLA, emails are received from both high school and graduate students asking him about certain scientific aspects of the show. He also notes that there was a lot of background work that the writers did prior to shooting, such as following graduate students around and exploring what a physicist’s apartment might actually look like. According to Saltzberg, a real physicist’s apartment was a bit too boring, so the producers had to dress up Leonard and Sheldon’s apartment a little. But, the science itself was spot on. MEET THE AUTHOR Chris St-Jean is a Canadian teacher who has enjoyed American literature for as long as she can remember. Her daughters, ages three and seven, seem to have inherited her appreciation for books as well. She spends her free time writing short stories, hanging out with her husband and children, and working toward a black belt in karate. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Simon Helberg as Howard Wolowitz: One of Helberg’s biggest passions was music until he hit the 11th grade. That’s when he played a delivery part in an all-female production. Since then, he’s appeared in shows like Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and Joey, often being typecast as the geek. He got the role of Wolowitz in 2007, prior to the show’s start. Kunal Nayyar as Raj Koothrappali: Nayyar is the newest to the small screen; he was born in London, England and grew up in India. He decided to pursue educational opportunities in the United States and majored in business at the University of Portland in Oregon while taking some acting classes. From there, he went to Temple University in Philadelphia and earned his Masters of Fine Arts. He is a cricket fan and had a guest starring role on NCIS before snagging the part on The Big Bang Theory... Buy a copy to keep reading!

Quicklet on House Season 3 (TV Show)

By: Christina St-Jean

ABOUT THE BOOK House M.D. is a medical-themed television show that started back in 2004, shortly after the production team of David Shore, Paul Attanasio and Katie Jacobs pitched the idea to Fox Broadcasting. While the medical procedural itself was hailed as something like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, the character of Gregory House, M.D. didnt come around until Chase, Attanasio, and Jacobs were approached by the network to liven up the premise. A human element was required in order to give the show a spark. Actor Hugh Laurie was the right ingredient. The third season of House M.D. is made up of 24 episodes. The season opens with the doctor recovering from gunshot wounds received in the second season finale. Much of the season depicts House coping with his returning leg pain following his ketamine treatment at the end of Season 2, and dealing with the intricacies of the legal and human systems. MEET THE AUTHOR Christine Saint-Jean is an Ontario English teacher with a great passion for American literature in particular and the written word in general. Her two daughters, aged 3 and 7, also seem to have a love of books, as her 7-year-old just started reading Tom Sawyer herself. Saint-Jean follows global events as closely as she can but also enjoys entertainment news. Currently, Saint-Jean is working towards a black belt in karate. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK At this point in the Emmy Award-winning series, the acclaimed doctors ego and addiction to Vicodin has only grown. He has recovered from his gunshot wounds, which were sustained at the end of Season 2, and although he is starting to regain use of his leg, he is back on the Vicodin. His addiction, as always, doesnt stop him from solving some of medicines most challenging mysteries. He has, however, become more of a nuisance to his peers; Wilson and Cuddy have both grown concerned over the godlike egotism they see coming from their friend and make the decision to clip his wings a little. House M.D. continues to resonate with society, particularly the medical community and those struggling with rare medical conditions. People have suggested diagnoses for themselves because of situations which have come about on the series, leaving the medical community struggling to explain to their patients why they shouldnt base their diagnoses on what a television doctor proposes. That said, House M.D. continues to fascinate and spark discussion, both about the characters and the medical issues themselves. CHAPTER OUTLINE Quicklet on House Season 3 (TV Show) + There's a Doctor in House + About the Producers and Directors + House: The legend falters + Episode Summaries + ...and much more House Season 3 (TV Show)

Quicklet on Randy Pausch, Jeffrey Zaslow's The Last Lecture

By: Christina St-Jean

ABOUT THE BOOK I’d stumbled upon Randy Pausch, a youngish professor from Carnegie Mellon University, quite by accident in 2011. I’d been looking for a good PowerPoint presentation about time management, and the one he gave was deemed to be really interesting, according to the Google searches I’d done. As I read the mini-bio attached to the file, it occurred to me that I’d heard the name before, so I did some further searching and realized he had written “The Last Lecture”, which I’d heard so much about a few years ago. I immediately headed out and picked up a copy. As I read, I was stunned by the powerful simplicity of his writing. I had already watched “The Last Lecture” on YouTube, as millions had during the time in which the presentation had gone viral, but I was surprised at the profound effect the book had on me. This was a man who, by all accounts, had everything going for him: a great job that he loved, three very young children and a beautiful wife whom he adored. MEET THE AUTHOR Christina St-Jean an Ontario English teacher with a great passion for American literature in particular and the written word in general. Her two daughters, aged 3 and 7, also seem to have a love of books, as her 7 year old just started reading Tom Sawyer herself. Christina follows global events as closely as she can but also enjoys entertainment news. Currently, she is working towards a black belt in karate. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK If anything, The Last Lecture showed to the world just how pervasive media attention is today; after the lecture itself became a YouTube sensation, Pausch made appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show and Prime Time Live with Diane Sawyer, in addition to appearing on Time’s Top 100 list of the world’s most influential people for 2008. He drew the attention of Katie Couric, The Wall Street Journal’s Jeffrey Zaslow, director J.J. Abrams, and none other than Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner. He testified before Congress to encourage more funding to be directed to pancreatic cancer research and received a letter from the original President Bush. Buy a copy to keep reading!

Quicklet On Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Quicklet On Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

By: Christina St-Jean

ABOUT THE BOOK I first fell in love when I was about nine years old. My mother handed me a well-worn copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer because I was hungry for something to read and she ended up losing me for several days as I became lost in Tom’s adventures. What wasn’t to like about this kid? He was smart, charming, and a bit of a rogue. He had wonderful imagination and dreamed of big adventures. As a kid who was often drawn into the adventures of Luke Skywalker and Indiana Jones, I felt a real connection with Tom’s fantastic imagination. I also felt myself drawn into his seemingly idyllic existence in the sultry summers on the Mississippi, and I could almost feel Tom sitting beside me, discussing what brand of mischief he’d fallen into. Twain’s leisurely, conversational writing style became more appealing as I grew up. Like Tom, I almost refused to grow old, and now that I have children of my own, the oldest of whom is making her first forays into reading chapter books, I’m eager to introduce Tom and his gang of robbers to them. I see a lot of Tom’s spirit in my kids; there’s the same love for life, for adventure, and for spinning a great story. In truth, Tom is not all that different from a 20th or 21st century kid. In many ways, he is someone many of us might have known when we ourselves were kids. What better way to reawaken our own childhoods than to disappear in Tom’s story? MEET THE AUTHOR Chris St-Jean is a Canadian teacher who has enjoyed American literature for as long as she can remember. Her daughters, ages three and seven, seem to have inherited her appreciation for books as well. She spends her free time writing short stories, hanging out with her husband and children, and working toward a black belt in karate. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK When readers compare Mark Twain’s boyhood in Hannibal, Missouri and the life of young Tom Sawyer in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, they are bound to see parallels. In fact, Twain based the characters of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn on two kids he knew during his formative years. In his autobiography, Twain wrote that The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is, in essence, a fictionalized account of his boyhood, with depictions of the school, the scenery and even the interactions with his classmates and teacher told in rich detail. While many may have a romanticized view of schooling in the 19th century, Twain paints a picture not unlike those told by our own 21st-century children. Children look for distractions in and out of the classroom, homework is done with varying degrees of care, and the teacher piles on the work, trying not to get frustrated with the lack of attention from her students. Tom doesn’t make any claims of being a well-behaved young man, and Twain certainly doesn’t portray him as such. Much of what Tom relays in his world is pleasant, reminding readers of a simpler existence free from the stresses of adulthood. As in the real world, however, evil casts shadows along the fringe of Tom’s reality, reminding us that things aren’t always perfect. These connections between a classic and reality today are likely why The Adventures of Tom Sawyer continues to be Twain’s best-selling work. In an ironic twist, while this is a novel seemingly geared to older children, Twain himself has said, “It is not a boy’s book, at all. It will only be read by adults. It is only written for adults.” Regardless of the intended audience, this is certainly a book which continues to resonate with an audience of any age. Buy a copy to keep reading!

Walking In the Footsteps of the Fallen

Walking In the Footsteps of the Fallen

Verdun 1916

By: Christina Holstein

A visit to the battlefield of Verdun is usually dominated by the forts of Douamont and Vaux, the museum at Fleury and the striking, huge Ossuary. Although this gives a flavor of the horrific fighting that took place in the area, particularly in 1916, the visitor will be hard pressed to get much more than an impression from such places. This book seeks to guide the battlefield pilgrim into parts of the battlefield that get rarely visited by means of a series of walks, a number of which include the major sites. The four tours have been carefully walked. All are practicable for a reasonably healthy adult; the tours vary in length, most taking a half day to complete and the longest (the last) a day. In a twist to the usual walks to be found in the Battleground series, Christina makes full use of the numerous field graves and isolated memorials that are to be found on the Verdun battlefield, a number of which will bring visitors to the most visited sites. In the course of these walks many physical remnants will be found, such as gun positions, bunkers and trench systems, the significance of which is fully explained. The walks have not been chosen at random; by following these the tourer will get a far greater understanding of why the fighting at Verdun developed as it did and why such places as Fort Vaux were so significant to both sides. The field graves and memorials to the combatants, very often of individuals, provide an opportunity to give their story and the unit action in which they were fighting when they were killed. Verdun is a battlefield where the story of units and individuals can easily become lost in the horror of the incessant fighting that raged over ten months; and over ground which is extremely difficult to read because of the post war forestation program. Profusely illustrated and with excellent mapping, a hallmark of Christina Holstein's books, a visitor who follows the walks in this book will be left with a far clearer idea of the men who fought and died here and of the features of the battlefield and their significance in this battle that so challenged the endurance of the armies of two nations.

The Veiled Empress:

An Unacademic Biography

By: Benjamin A. Morton,Christina Morton

Aimée du Buc de Rivéry was a French heiress who went missing at sea as a young woman. There is an unsubstantiated legend that she was captured by Barbary pirates, sold as a harem concubine, and was the same person as Naksidil Sultan, a Valide Sultan (Queen Mother) of the Ottoman Empire. The strangely romantic story—heretofore a baffling mystery—of the lovely French girl who became Crown of the Veiled Heads reveals an unknown chapter of history and throws a new light upon the revolution in Turkey, the destruction of the Janissaries, the downfall of Napoleon. How it came about that the young Sultan Mahmoud broke the power of Napoleon is told for the first time. An unacademic biography, the author presents first a pageant of Martinique, the enchanted little island where the Veiled Empress and Josephine, Empress of the French, were born. The paintings give a vivid glimpse of the joyous clash of color in the costumes, a flower of eighteenth century France run riot in tropical soil. In this Land of Ghosts there is a curious reflection of the life of the past in the light of the present.

Verdun 1917

The French Hit Back

By: Christina Holstein

A tour of the historic French battlefield that goes beyond the usual dates and places, and reveals the full story of the fighting after the fighting. Despite the popular view, the French army did not cease offensive operations after the disastrous Nivelle Offensive of spring 1917 and the subsequent mutinies. Nor did the fighting at Verdun come to an end in 1916. The successful French counteroffensives at the end of that year led to preliminary planning for a two Army operation in 1917 to break out of the Verdun salient and recapture the strategically very significant Briey coal basin. The French Army mutinies of May and June 1917 led to a more limited version of the plan being implemented, with the aim of establishing new lines for a breakout in 1918. The need to rebuild morale in the French army meant that nothing was left to chance. The immense logistical effort of this late summer 1917 campaign and the detailed planning and careful training at all levels brought success to an army weary of war but determined to win. The industrial nature of the preparations, the spectacular numbers of guns, and the first appearance of the Americans at Verdun presage the campaigns of 1918 and the final Allied victory. Christina Holstein, Britain’s premier expert in the battlefields around Verdun, leads the reader around the various vital points of this largely unknown battle of 1917, one which was crucial for the rebuilding of a French army that played such a notable part in the victorious Allied campaign of 1918. Like all the books in the Battleground Europe series, it is profusely illustrated and mapped using contemporary and modern material, with clear maps to support each of the tours.

Slavery in Indian Country

Slavery in Indian Country

The Changing Face of Captivity in Early America

By: Christina Snyder

Slavery existed in North America long before the first Africans arrived at Jamestown in 1619. For centuries, from the pre-Columbian era through the 1840s, Native Americans took prisoners of war and killed, adopted, or enslaved them. Christina Snyder's pathbreaking book takes a familiar setting for bondage, the American South, and places Native Americans at the center of her engrossing story. Indian warriors captured a wide range of enemies, including Africans, Europeans, and other Indians. Yet until the late eighteenth century, age and gender more than race affected the fate of captives. As economic and political crises mounted, however, Indians began to racialize slavery and target African Americans. Native people struggling to secure a separate space for themselves in America developed a shared language of race with white settlers. Although the Indians' captivity practices remained fluid long after their neighbors hardened racial lines, the Second Seminole War ultimately tore apart the inclusive communities that Native people had created through centuries of captivity. Snyder's rich and sweeping history of Indian slavery connects figures like Andrew Jackson and Cherokee chief Dragging Canoe with little-known captives like Antonia Bonnelli, a white teenager from Spanish Florida, and David George, a black runaway from Virginia. Placing the experiences of these individuals within a complex system of captivity and Indians' relations with other peoples, Snyder demonstrates the profound role of Native American history in the American past.

The Women's Rights Movement since 1945

A Reference Guide

By: Christina G. Larocco

Documenting the history of the American women's rights movement from 1945 through the 2016 election, this reference offers a crucial and objective look at the changing strategies, goals, and challenges of American feminists. Many aspects of women's lives in the mid-twentieth century—including legal subjugation to their husbands, limitations in education and employment, and restrictions on sexual and reproductive autonomy—are unthinkable today. Women's lives improved only through the concerted action of several generations of activists, whose work lies at the center of this volume. This book traces women's changing relationships to family, work, education, government, and sexuality from 1945 through the 2016 election. The book begins with an overview essay that places the women's rights movement in its historical context. This is followed by a chronology offering concise profiles of key events. A series of chapters then discusses the history of the women's rights movement since 1945 and what the movement has accomplished. Biographical entries profile key figures involved in the movement, and a selection of primary source documents gives first-hand accounts of the movement. An annotated bibliography directs readers to additional sources of information.

In Search of Mr Darcy

Lessons Learnt in the Pursuit of Happily Ever After

By: Christina Ford

A coming-of-middle-age memoir, about the search for love, friendship and the ever-elusive Mr Darcy Prince Charming? Happily ever after? Childhood fairy tales are full of promises, but the reality - life - is a very different story. And that story has a hell of a lot to teach us. With honesty, humour and warmth, Christina Ford looks back on four decades of dates, loves, marriages, friendships, affairs, parenting disasters and step-parenting nightmares. For all those who have ever wondered if there is life after divorce, sex after 40, or who have had their heart broken and questioned if they will ever find love again, this is a reaffirming rallying call that mid-life is exactly that - the middle and not the end.
