A Thousand Cuts

The Bizarre Underground World of Collectors and Dealers Who Saved the Movies

By: Dennis Bartok,Jeff Joseph

A Thousand Cuts is a candid exploration of one of America's strangest and most quickly vanishing subcultures. It is about the death of physical film in the digital era and about a paranoid, secretive, eccentric, and sometimes obsessive group of film-mad collectors who made movies and their projection a private religion in the time before DVDs and Blu-rays. The book includes the stories of film historian/critic Leonard Maltin, TCM host Robert Osborne discussing Rock Hudson's secret 1970s film vault, RoboCop producer Jon Davison dropping acid and screening King Kong with Jefferson Airplane at the Fillmore East, and Academy Award-winning film historian Kevin Brownlow recounting his decades-long quest to restore the 1927 Napoleon. Other lesser-known but equally fascinating subjects include one-legged former Broadway dancer Tony Turano, who lives in a Norma Desmond-like world of decaying movie memories, and notorious film pirate Al Beardsley, one of the men responsible for putting O. J. Simpson behind bars. Authors Dennis Bartok and Jeff Joseph examine one of the least-known episodes in modern legal history: the FBI's and Justice Department's campaign to harass, intimidate, and arrest film dealers and collectors in the early 1970s. Many of those persecuted were gay men. Victims included Planet of the Apes star Roddy McDowall, who was arrested in 1974 for film collecting and forced to name names of fellow collectors, including Rock Hudson and Mel Tormé. A Thousand Cuts explores the obsessions of the colorful individuals who created their own screening rooms, spent vast sums, negotiated underground networks, and even risked legal jeopardy to pursue their passion for real, physical film.

EU Employment Law

From Rome to Amsterdam and Beyond

By: Jeff Kenner

This book traces the evolution of European Union employment law and social policy from its essentially economic origins in the Treaty of Rome through to the emerging themes post-Amsterdam: co-ordination of national employment policies,modernisation of social laws and combating discrimination. Each stage of development of Community employment law and social policy is analysed in depth to give a sense of perspective to this fast changing field. As the European Union seeks to meet the challenges of globalisation the need to develop social policy as a productive factor has come to the fore. The author explains how the social, economic and employment imperatives of European integration have always been intertwined and how the emergence of Community employment law from its hitherto twilight existence is best understood through an examination of consistent strands of policy development.

The Family

Power, Politics and Fundamentalism's Shadow Elite

By: Jeff Sharlet

A journalist's penetrating and controversial look at the untold story of Christian fundamentalism's most elite organisation- a self-described 'invisible' global network dedicated to a religion of power for the powerful. They are 'the Family' - fundamentalism's avant-garde, waging spiritual war in the halls of American power and around the globe. They consider themselves the 'new chosen'- congressmen, generals and foreign dictators who meet in confidential 'cells', to pray and plan for a 'leadership led by God', to be won not by force but through 'quiet diplomacy'. Jeff Sharlet is the only journalist to have reported from inside its walls. The Family is about the other half of American fundamentalist power - not its angry masses, but its sophisticated elites. In public, they host Prayer Breakfasts; in private they preach a gospel of 'biblical capitalism', military might and American empire. Citing Hitler, Lenin and Mao as leadership models, the Family's current leader, Doug Coe, declares, 'We work with power where we can, build new power where we can't'. Part history, part investigative journalism, The Family is a compelling account of how fundamentalism came to be interwoven with American power and the no-holds-barred economics of globalisation. No other book about the Right has exposed the Family or revealed its far-reaching impact on democracy, and no future reckoning of fundamentalism will be able to ignore it.

The Merit Myth

How Our Colleges Favor the Rich and Divide America

By: Anthony P. Carnevale,Peter Schmidt,Jeff Strohl

An eye-opening and timely look at how colleges drive the very inequalities they are meant to remedy, complete with a call—and a vision—for change Colleges fiercely defend America's deeply stratified higher education system, arguing that the most exclusive schools reward the brightest kids who have worked hard to get there. But it doesn't actually work this way. As the recent college-admissions bribery scandal demonstrates, social inequalities and colleges' pursuit of wealth and prestige stack the deck in favor of the children of privilege. For education scholar and critic Anthony P. Carnevale, it's clear that colleges are not the places of aspiration and equal opportunity they claim to be. The Merit Myth calls out our elite colleges for what they are: institutions that pay lip service to social mobility and meritocracy, while offering little of either. Through policies that exacerbate inequality, including generously funding so-called merit-based aid for already-wealthy students rather than expanding opportunity for those who need it most, U.S. universities—the presumed pathway to a better financial future—are woefully complicit in reproducing the racial and class privilege across generations that they pretend to abhor. This timely and incisive book argues for unrigging the game by dramatically reducing the weight of the SAT/ACT; measuring colleges by their outcomes, not their inputs; designing affirmative action plans that take into consideration both race and class; and making 14 the new 12—guaranteeing every American a public K–14 education. The Merit Myth shows the way for higher education to become the beacon of opportunity it was intended to be.

Mama, I Am Yet Still Alive

A Composite Diary of 1863 in the Confederacy

By: Jeff Toalson

Civil War studies normally focus on military battles, campaigns, generals and politicians, with the common Confederate soldiers and Southern civilians receiving only token mention. Using personal accounts from more than two hundred forty soldiers, farmers, clerks, nurses, sailors, farm girls, merchants, surgeons, chaplains and wives, author Jeff Toalson has created a compilation that is remarkable in its simplicity and stunning in its scope. These soldiers and civilians wrote remarkable letters and kept astonishing diaries and journals. They discuss disease, slavery, inflation, religion, desertion, blockade running, and their never-ending hope that the war would end before their loved ones died. A major portion of these documents were unpublished and were made available by the Brewer Library of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. With this, his third significant contribution to Civil War literature, Jeff Toalson joins the select company of Thomas W. Cutrer and Bell I. Wiley as historians who have devoted their body of work to preserving the 'voices' of common Confederate soldiers and civilians.

Corktown, or Through the Valley of Dry Bones

By: Jeff Augustin

THE STORY: Jackee, a fabulous fourteen-year-old-boy, takes us on a tour of one of Detroit’s oldest neighborhoods between 2007 and 2034. From the neighborhood’s urban blight to the gentrified renaissance, Jeff Augustin chronicles the life cycle of a city, affected by and affecting the lives of its residents. This tale filled with gospel music, graffiti, and organic coffee shows how—even when the music gets turned down, the graffiti is painted over, and the streets become safer—there’s a beating heart in a place’s history that can’t be erased.

Mechanically Inclined

Building Grammar, Usage, and Style into Writer's Workshop

By: Jeff Anderson,Lisa Thibodeaux

Some teachers love grammar and some hate it, but nearly all struggle to find ways of making the mechanics of English meaningful to kids. As a middle school teacher, Jeff Anderson also discovered that his students were not grasping the basics, and that it was preventing them from reaching their potential as writers. Jeff readily admits, “I am not a grammarian, nor am I punctilious about anything,” so he began researching and testing the ideas of scores of grammar experts in his classroom, gradually finding successful ways of integrating grammar instruction into writer's workshop. Just in time for its 20th anniversary, this long awaited second edition of Mechanically Inclined continues to merge the best of writer's workshop elements with relevant theory about how and why skills should be taught. It connects theory about using grammar in context with practical instructional strategies, explains why kids often don't understand or apply grammar and mechanics correctly, focuses on attending to the “high payoff,” or most common errors in student writing, and shows how to carefully construct a workshop environment that can best support grammar and mechanics concepts. In this new edition, longtime colleague, Lisa Thibodeaux joins Jeff in emphasizing four key elements for grammar instruction: short daily instruction in grammar and mechanics within writer's workshop; using high-quality mentor texts to teach grammar and mechanics in context; visual scaffolds, including wall charts, and visual cues that can be pasted into writer's notebooks; regular, short routines, like “express-lane edits,” that help students spot and correct errors automatically. Comprising an overview of the research-based context for grammar instruction, a series of over forty detailed lessons, updated research, compelling new mentor texts, and an appendix of helpful forms and instructional tools, Mechanically Inclined is a boon to teachers regardless of their level of grammar-phobia. It shifts the negative, rule-plagued emphasis of much grammar instruction into one which celebrates the power and beauty these tools have in shaping all forms of writing.

Democracy in Crisis

Lessons from Ancient Athens

By: Jeff Miller

The storming of the US Capitol building in January 2021 focused attention on the multiple threats facing contemporary liberal democracies. Beyond the immediate problem of Covid-19, the past two decades saw political polarization, a dramatic rise in inequality, global warming and other environmental threats, as well as the growth of dangerous cultural and political divisions. Western liberal democracies find themselves in the midst of what political theorists call a legitimation crisis: major portions of the population lack confidence in the ability of governments to address our most pressing problems. This distrust in government and traditional political parties opened the door to populist leaders and a rising tide of authoritarianism. Liberal democracies face major structural and normative challenges in the near future that require us to look beyond the traditional set of solutions available. Democracy in Crisis points back to the world's first democratic government, Ancient Athens, to see what made that political arrangement durable and resistant to both internal and external threats. The argument focuses on several distinctive Athenian institutions and practices, and considers how we might reimagine them in the modern world. The book addresses questions of civic ideology and institutions, with extended treatment of two distinctive Athenian institutions, ostracism and sortition.

Toward Spiritual Perfection

Principles for the Maturing Christian

By: Jeff Marshall

Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word he will never see death. Jesus the Christ Do you know what God desires of you to fulfill His purpose for your life? What does it mean to seek Gods spiritual perfection? When we see the word perfection, we see an unattainable ideal. How can we be perfect even spiritually perfect? The Bible explains that in the life of Jesus the Christ, The Child continued to grow and become strong, becoming full of wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him [Luke 2:40]. Jesus would later say, Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect [Matthew 5:48]. If you are eager to live life on your terms and worship your own way, then this book is not for you. Towards Spiritual Perfection examines the Bible from Gods perspectiveHis will for usand stresses that to be like His Son, we must deny our own wants and desires every day of our lives [Luke 9:23]. Are you ready to do Gods will, His way? If so, this book of practical principles is a must for you, as you mature in Christ.

Bohemian New Orleans

The Story of the Outsider and Loujon Press

By: Jeff Weddle

Winner of the 2007 Welty Prize In 1960, Jon Edgar and Louise “Gypsy Lou” Webb founded Loujon Press on Royal Street in New Orleans's French Quarter. The small publishing house quickly became a giant. Heralded by the Village Voice and the New York Times as one of the best of its day, the Outsider, the press's literary review, featured, among others, Charles Bukowski, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Robert Creeley, Denise Levertov, and Walter Lowenfels. Loujon published books by Henry Miller and two early poetry collections by Bukowski. Bohemian New Orleans traces the development of this courageous imprint and examines its place within the small press revolution of the 1960s. Drawing on correspondence from many who were published in the Outsider, back issues of the Outsider, contemporary reviews, promotional materials, and interviews, Jeff Weddle shows how the press's mandarin insistence on production quality and its eclectic editorial taste made its work nonpareil among peers in the underground. Throughout, Bohemian New Orleans reveals the messy, complex, and vagabond spirit of a lost literary age.

Colleen Moore

A Biography of the Silent Film Star

By: Jeff Codori

Colleen Moore (1899-1988) was one of the most popular and beloved stars of the American silent screen. Remembered primarily as a comedienne in such films as Ella Cinders (1926) and Orchids and Ermine (1927), Moore's career was also filled with dramatic roles that often reflected societal trends. A trailblazing performer, her legacy was somewhat overshadowed by the female stars that followed her, notably Louise Brooks and Clara Bow. An in-depth examination of Moore's early life and film career, the book reveals the ways in which her family and the times in which she lived influenced the roles she chose. Included are forewords written by film historian Joseph Yranski, a friend of the actress, and by Moore's stepdaughter, Judith Hargrave Coleman.

Curse of the Medallion

Death of James Dean Sparks a Curse

By: Jeff Edwards

The Death of James Dean Sparks A Curse! It had been a beautiful day in California. James Dean had wrapped up shooting the movie Giant and had planned to race his 1955 Porsche Spyder in an automobile race held at the Salinas Airport. Dean originally intended to pull his new silver Porsche Spyder on a trailer behind his station wagon but, at the last minute decided to drive the sports car to put some pre-race mileage on it. Following in Dean¿s station wagon were stunt car driver Bill Hickman and famous photographer Sanford Roth. Here is where our story begins. Bill Hickman and Sanford Roth followed Dean, not knowing the tragedy they would soon discover. Stopping for directions, the two meet an aspiring singer/songwriter known only as Garrett Arizona. Within minutes, the three come upon the fatal crash site. Bill and Sanford are devastated. Standing nearby, the young singer picks up a shiny metal object that will change his life forever. Fifty years later, a series of letters are discovered by the grandson of Garrett Arizona. The letters reveal not only the past but, also his future. Taking the letters, he embarks on a journey to find the grandfather he has never met. He may not survive it as he knows nothing of the Curse of Medallion!

Suffering from God's Perspective

Learning to Overcome Most of Your Pain

By: Jeff Biggerstaff

Many Christians suffer because they don’t fully understand who God is. People who are not Christians understand Him even less. If we knew what God expects of us and what He wants us to know and understand, then we would experience His blessings instead of suffering as we sometimes do. The author has been a dedicated Christian for 30 years. This book offers basic truths about God that he believes are needed by every Christian (and non-Christian) who wants to reduce the amount of suffering in their lives. The book begins with the most fundamental truths, then builds on those truths to assist readers in increasing their understanding. The truth of the Gospel has not changed in 2000 years. However, our understanding of the Gospel has grown, as each generation of Christians understands more than the previous generation. The author believes this book contains the next steps in increasing our knowledge, as we draw deeper wisdom from the scriptures to reduce our suffering. God offers us eternal life in a heaven filled with His mercy and goodness, and He offers us the same here on earth. There is no future other than the future that God offers us, through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ on the Cross. Jesus died on the Cross, so we can live our lives full of grace and peace. We should also experience many of God’s miracles as we live out our lives here on earth. This will happen if we choose to listen to His Word and believe and follow His Word. God looks closely at the quality of our decision making, since our decision making will determine the contentment of our lives. The author has entered God’s rest and so can you.
