Dalton Trumbo

Blacklisted Hollywood Radical

By: Larry Ceplair,Christopher Trumbo

James Dalton Trumbo (1905--1976) is widely recognized for his work as a screenwriter, playwright, and author, but he is also remembered as one of the Hollywood Ten who opposed the House Un-American Activities Committee. Refusing to answer questions about his prior involvement with the Communist Party, Trumbo sacrificed a successful career in Hollywood to stand up for his rights and defend political freedom. In Dalton Trumbo, authors Larry Ceplair and Christopher Trumbo present their extensive research on the famed writer, detailing his work, his membership in the Communist Party, his long campaign against censorship during the domestic cold war, his ten-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress, and his thirteen-year struggle to break the blacklist. The blacklist ended for Trumbo in 1960, when he received screen credits for Exodus and Spartacus. Just before his death, he received a long-delayed Academy Award for The Brave One, and in 1993, he was posthumously given an Academy Award for Roman Holiday (1953). This comprehensive biography provides insights into the many notable people with whom Trumbo worked, including Stanley Kubrick, Otto Preminger, and Kirk Douglas, and offers a fascinating look at the life of one of Hollywood's most prominent screenwriters and his battle against persecution.

Searching for the Anthropocene

A Journey into the Environmental Humanities

By: Christopher Schaberg

Debated, denied, unheard of, encompassing: The Anthropocene is a vexed topic, and requires interdisciplinary imagination. Starting at the author's home in rural northern Michigan and zooming out to perceive a dizzying global matrix, Christopher Schaberg invites readers on an atmospheric, impressionistic adventure with the environmental humanities. Searching for the Anthropocene blends personal narrative, cultural criticism, and ecological thought to ponder human-driven catastrophe on a planetary scale. This book is not about defining or settling the Anthropocene, but rather about articulating what it's like to live in the Anthropocene, to live with a sense of its nagging presence--even as the stakes grow higher with each passing year, each oncoming storm.

Lt. John Brooks, Jr

A Hero of the Battle of Lake Erie

By: Christopher S. Baldwin

First Lieutenant Marine John Brooks, Jr. was the only US commissioned officer killed in the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie, yet he has been all but forgotten in the annals of American history. Brooks graduated from Harvard Medical School and then served as an officer in the US Marines from 1807-1813. He was the third son of Col. John Brooks Sr., a Revolutionary War hero and the two term 11th Governor of Massachusetts. John Brooks Jr. spent 6 of his military years commanding the Marine Guards onboard the (1807) USS Wasp, USS Congress, USS Essex, and USS Constitution and was chosen for a secret mission by President James Madison before serving Oliver Hazard Perry onboard the USS Lawrence in The Battle of Lake Erie. In the Battle of Lake Erie, his duty was to recruit and train Marines for the entire fleet. He was killed early in the battle by a cannonball that struck him in the thigh/hip that took away his hip joint. Being mortally wounded, he survived for only about 2 hours and died 20 minutes before the battle was won. In that 2 hours of agony, he focused his concerns on Captain Oliver Perry and the rest of the Lawrence crew; not himself. Although he was a senior officer on the ship and entitled to the surgeon's care ahead of the crew's, Brooks refused care. This freed surgeon, Usher Parsons, to attend the heavily wounded 104 man crew consisting of Narragansett Indians, whites and blacks of lesser ranks, volunteers, slaves and children. The United States Navy named a 1919 destroyer the USS John Brooks in his honor. The Story of Lt. Brooks has never been written, and I hope you will learn of and appreciate his service to our country"--Back cover.
