Pittsburgh has been part of the film industry since the days of silent film. Yet, it was not until the 1951 classic Angels in the Outfieldset at Forbes Fieldthat the Steel City had its first major role on the silver screen. Greater Pittsburghs film and television industry has since produced everything from the beloved childrens program Mister Rogers Neighborhood to the cult classic Night of the Living Dead. Most recently, Christopher Nolan has chosen to set the conclusion to his Batman trilogy in the city. From the first nickelodeon and film row of those early days to the locations and cutting-edge sets of today, local author John Tiech takes a behind-the-scenes tour of Pittsburgh cinema.

Warquest

Out of the Ashes

By: John D. Belcastro

1 Not for the faint of heart! Jump on for a wild and nonstop ride with Angel and his team of warriors as they grapple with the impossibility of survival on a ravaged planet. The result of a bionuclear Armageddon, the earth is forever ruined. A world where the weak long for death, the mighty dispense it. A world where the earth itself rebels to exterminate the parasite that is humanity. A world where those unfortunate enough to survive find themselves in a barren, toxic nightmare where death comes in grotesque form and living has lost all appeal. Angel Martin, the herculean warrior known as the Angel of Death for his exceptional body count during WWIII, invites you to become a spectator in a ringside seat where you will delight in all the action up close and personal. Watch out because when this madman goes on a rampage, blood, brains, and body parts explode! Together with his team of commandos, they must combat massive mutated monsters and demons from another dimension amid the collapse of a decaying civilization. The masses are dying, as well as those of Angel's family, from a mysterious disease brought on by the corrosive fulmination. However, when a beautiful escapee is rescued from an abusive military contingent, she reveals that her captured father is a bionuclear engineer who may hold a cure. In order to find and free the scientist, the team must negotiate with undesirables in barter towns, decimate well-equipped sex traffickers, battle mercenary militias, and clash with heavily armed slave barons. In order to accomplish this mission, Angel leads his teammates through a malicious environment rife with giant monstrosities, ghoul-infested cities, and nuclear wasteland in order to battle rogue military forces, cutthroats, and sinister organizations. They must infiltrate the ranks of warring factions and survivalist coalitions while constantly seeking arms and bartering for provisions vital to continuing their quest.

Historical Dictionary of Jazz

By: John S. Davis

Jazz is a music born in the United States and formed by a combination of influences. In its infancy, jazz was a melting pot of military brass bands, work songs and field hollers of the United States slaves during the 19th century, European harmonies and forms, and the rhythms of Africa and the Caribbean. Later, the blues and the influence of Spanish and French Creoles with European classical training nudged jazz further along in its development. As it moved through the swing era of the 1930s, bebop of the 1940s, and cool jazz of the 1950s, jazz continued to serve as a reflection of societal changes. During the turbulent 1960s, freedom and unrest were expressed through Free Jazz and the Avant Garde. Popular and world music have been incorporated and continue to expand the impact and reach of jazz. Today, jazz is truly an international art form. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Jazz contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1,500 cross-referenced entries on musicians, styles of jazz, instruments, recording labels, bands and band leaders, and more. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Jazz.

Fife

By: John Gifford

Fife's most famous buildings include Dunfermline Abbey, with its sturdy Norman nave; St Andrews cathedral, the focus of the old University town on the North Sea coast; the foursquare post-Reformation kirk at Burntisland; the palace of Falkland, where James V became Britain's first patron of Renaissance architecture on the grand scale; and the little royal burghs along the coastal fringe, each with its harbour and its strings of vernacular houses presided over by the kirk and tollbooth. Cupar, at the centre of Fife's long peninsula, is the seat of local government and one of the most charming and prosperous of Scottish towns. Less well known are Fife's tower houses like Scotstarvit, the old seaboard castles of St Andrews and Ravenscraig, the picturesque Balgonie Castle and the thoroughly domesticated Kellie Castle. Of Fife's churches one of the most beautiful is Dairsie; and three centuries of inventive design in burial monuments come to an unexpected climax in a work by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in the MacDuff cemetery, East Wemyss.

The Camp of Gods Tears

By: Marilyn Lee,John R. Mayfield

A highly evolved civilization, almost unknown to history, thrived in North America for centuries long before the coming of Europeans.The Camp of God's Tears is a tragic tale about this civilization as it ended. This story is grounded in fact according to archeological, genetic, and linguistic data as reflected in the Afterward which presents supportive information and a bibliography of nearly 400 sources. This saga is told as a narrative by Gray Wolf who begins his story during his late adolescence and follows through six generations until he becomes a great-grandfather.The Camp of God's Tears reveals the high level of sophistication of this culture which was far more advanced than many cultures of the same time period, circa 300 AD. More importantly, it articulates the depth of their spirituality and moral codes by which these people lived. While the mysterious ending of a great culture is heart-rendering, the story ends on a note of hope for contemporary times. The story came to me in a dream. It was told to me by Falling Star. She answered a myriad of questions I asked. She showed me the locations of where the events in the story took place. She showed me her People who wore exotic clothes made of finely woven textiles decorated with pearls, copper and other artistic ornaments. She showed me strongly built homes, their villages, and their expansive farms. I saw their social organization was powerful yet simple, a few shaman, elders, and no real leaders. She intrigued me with their immense earthworks which demonstrate accurate astronomical alignments to the Sun, Moon, stars, and galaxies. The organization of labor, engineering skills, mathematical and astronomical knowledge required to build these phenomenal earthworks amazes modern researchers. I asked Falling Star why she showed me all of this. She said her People wanted their story told and asked me if I would tell it. Of course, I said, and then I asked her why. She said her People were so deeply spiritual, so in tune and in touch with the Creator that they actively lived the principles of Oneness. Their ways demonstrated what being one and at one with the One . . . looked like in real life. She said the people of my time need to know these principles and to learn to live them, because humankind is struggling to regain balance in a troubled world.
