American Silent Horror, Science Fiction and Fantasy Feature Films, 1913-1929

By: John T. Soister,Henry Nicolella,Steve Joyce

During the Silent Era, when most films dealt with dramatic or comedic takes on the "boy meets girl, boy loses girl" theme, other motion pictures dared to tackle such topics as rejuvenation, revivication, mesmerism, the supernatural and the grotesque. A Daughter of the Gods (1916), The Phantom of the Opera (1925), The Magician (1926) and Seven Footprints to Satan (1929) were among the unusual and startling films containing story elements that went far beyond the realm of "highly unlikely." Using surviving documentation and their combined expertise, the authors catalog and discuss these departures from the norm in this encyclopedic guide to American horror, science fiction and fantasy in the years from 1913 through 1929.

Young Children, Parents and Professionals

Enhancing the links in early childhood

By: Margaret Henry

As early year education and very early child care increase, parents and professionals face many difficult questions. What are the effects of early education on children? Are parents fulfilling their roles? What should teachers' roles be? Seldom asked are more basic questions: What are the fundamental needs of young children? Or parents? Or professionals? How can these differing sets of needs be met? Margaret Henry proposes three dimensions of caregiving behaviour through which parents and professionals not only help young children to develop, but can also help one another's development. Evidence of positive change comes both from her own research in family day care and from the work of her students, practicing teachers and child care personnel. Their examples involve often hard-to-reach parents - those who are tired, employed, alienated, bossy and culturally and ethnically diverse. There are practical suggestions here for professionals and parents interested in enhancing their relationships with one another and the outcomes for young children.

Joseph Andrews

By: Henry Fielding

This fascinating volume contains a detailed treatise written by Henry Fielding on his seminal work, Joseph Andrews. Including interesting examinations of his characters and motifs, as well as comments on writing prose fiction in general and the various vicissitudes that come with it, this is a volume that will prove invaluable to the student of English Literature, and it is not to be missed by fans of Fielding's seminal work. 'Joseph Andrews, or The History of the Adventures of Joseph Andrews and of his Friend Mr. Abraham Adams', was the first published full-length novel of the English author and magistrate Henry Fielding, and indeed among the first novels in the English language. Henry Fielding (1707 – 1754) was an English novelist and dramatist known for his rich earthy humour and satirical prowess, and as for being the author of the famous novel Tom Jones. The chapters of this book include: 'Of Writing Lives in General, and Particularly of Pamela with a Word By the Bye of Colley Cibber and Others'; 'Of Mr. Joseph Andrews, His Birth, Parentage, Education, and Great Endowments, With a Word or Two Concerning Ancestors'; 'Or Mr. Abraham Adams the Curate, Mrs. Slipslop the Chambermaid, and Others', et cetera.
