The Moose That Roared

The Story of Jay Ward, Bill Scott, a Flying Squirrel, and a Talking Moose

By: Keith Scott

For those of us who love The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, these names conjure up memories of some of the wittiest, most inspired, and relentlessly hilarious half-hours of animation ever produced. There was a kind of gleeful magic to the shows, a cumulative joy that transcended the crude animation and occasionally muddy sound, and it's this quality that was the essence of the legendary Jay Ward and Bill Scott. Jay Ward was the magnificent visionary, the outrageous showman who lobbied Washington for statehood for Moosylvania, and invited the press to a picnic on the floor of the Plaza Hotel's august Grand Ballroom. Bill Scott was the genial, brilliant head writer, coproducer, and all-purpose creative whirlwind, often described as the "soul" of the shows. In fact, Scott even provided the voices for most of the star characters, giving life to Bullwinkle J. Moose, Mr. Peabody, Dudley Do-Right, and George of the Jungle. From their tiny, oddball animation studio, Jay Ward Productions, they created some of the most memorable animation of all time, and gave birth to a family of characters whose undying popularity has cast them forever into the pop culture firmament. With their distinctively unorthodox, artist-friendly philosophy, Ward and Scott attracted some of the most talented writers and voice actors in the industry, and for a time, Jay Ward Productions was a kind of Camelot of cartoons. Now, through exclusive interviews with Bill Scott, Tiffany Ward, June Foray, and dozens of others intimately involved with the Ward epoch, as well as access to original scripts, artwork, story notes, letters, and memos, Keith Scott has created the definitive history of Jay Ward Productions, including episode guides and voice credits for all the Jay Ward cartoons. From the first "Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of a hat!" to the last "Watch out for that tree!", The Moose That Roared is not only the record of a legendary chapter in animation history, but also the story of a rare and magical relationship between two artists who were wildly, exuberantly ahead of their time, and the fascinating story of the struggle to bring their vision of bad puns and talking animals to unforgettable life.

Theorizing a Colonial Caribbean-Atlantic Imaginary

Sugar and Obeah

By: Keith Sandiford

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Theorizing a Colonial Caribbean-Atlantic Imaginary

Sugar and Obeah

By: Keith Sandiford

This book develops a theory of a Caribbean-Atlantic imaginary by exploring the ways two colonial texts represent the consciousnesses of Amerindians, Africans, and Europeans at two crucial points marking respectively the origins and demise of slavocratic systems in the West Indies. Focusing on Richard Ligon’s History of Barbados (1657) and Matthew ‘Monk’ Lewis’ Journal of a West India Proprietor (1834), the study identifies specific myths and belief systems surrounding sugar and obeah as each of these came to stand for concepts of order and counterorder, and to figure the material and symbolic power of masters and slaves respectively. Rooting the imaginary in indigenous Caribbean myths, the study adopts the pre-Columbian origins of the imaginary ascribed by Wilson Harris to a cross cultural bridge or arc, and derives the mythic origins for the centrality of sugar in the imaginary’s constitution from Kamau Brathwaite. The book’s central organizing principle is an oppositional one, grounded on the order/counterorder binary model of the imaginary formulated by the philosopher-social theorist Cornelius Castoriadis. The study breaks new ground by reading Ligon’s History and Lewis’ Journal through the lens of the slaves’ imaginaries of hidden knowledge. By redefining Lewis’ subjectivity through his poem’s most potent counterordering symbol, the demon-king, this book advances recent scholarly interest in Jamaica’s legendary Three Fingered Jack.

Without Faith

By: Keith McClean

Frank Tartt, a New York newspaper reporter, and a devout Catholic, loses his faith after the tragic, accidental death of his daughter. Once his faith is gone, he feels that if there is no judgement day in the next life, he should spend the rest of his days hunting down those who abuse their power for personal gain, without thought to the collateral damage inflicted on the innocent and vulnerable. Disregarding the laws of God or man, Tartt focuses his fury into acts of his own sense of justice and decides what price others will pay. New York Police Lieutenant Sean Horgan also tragically loses a child, his son, in a violent exchange with the son of a wealthy man who was in a position to buy his own son’s freedom. Still, Horgan continues to keep his strong faith and work within the confines of the law, but never forgets the injustice done to his son and his family. As investigations into high profile individuals are seemingly, inexplicably squashed from above, these two inherently good men cross paths. This is a gritty story where we feel the inner turmoil and desperation of these men and the people they investigate as they peel back layers of corruption and uncover dark secrets. All the while, readers witness Tartt’s downward spiral as he deals with the moral consequences of the path he has taken.

Letters from the Past

Letters from the Past

By: Keith J. Wilson

The chance discovery of a skeleton in the ruins of a building, uncovered during the construction of the M1 motorway near Northampton in the 1950s, leads to further investigations which connect the skeleton with nearby Hartington Hall and to documents which have been held in the possession of the owners. This find, far from clarifying the mystery associated with these documents, only introduces more unanswerable questions. The novel then travels back through the centuries, to the time of the English Civil War, to follow the fortunes of one man called upon to spy for the King by enlisting in the armies of Parliament. Both his honour and his love for the daughter of the man he serves are in peril as he pursues this hazardous task. Back in relatively modern times, the story ends with the discovery of a secret chamber which contains not only the hidden treasure, but also documents that answer many of the questions originally posed by those Letters from the Past. Descriptions of the siege of Oxford, minor skirmishes, the battles of Marston Moor and Naseby form a backdrop to this story of romance and adventure.Wilson offers a real insight into the world of ordinary men and women during a time of considerable turmoil, in a land which is so often described as green and pleasant. The story of Letters from the Past continuously poses new mysteries, questions and puzzles, providing a thrilling read for any fans of historical fiction, war novels and romance.

The Last Christmas Letter

The Last Christmas Letter

By: Keith C. Snyder

This book started out to be just a culmination of the original 30 Christmas Letters and the stories surrounding them, but in the end turned into much more encompassing story of our family and unfortunately my somewhat questionable life decisions and ongoing issues. Nothing to worry about here, as I am and always have been a law abiding, people loving, hardworking, person, but sometimes my way of doing things has left many wondering just what the heck I was thinking. As for the book, I think it is something that you will enjoy reading, as it probably more attune to your own life's stories than you'll probably want to admit. (Even when I die my picture will be somewhere in the back pages but with my luck it will probably be the one taken that night at the Lewiston Boy's Club and the headline won't be "Loving Father and Husband Passes", It will read, "Keith Embarrasses Mother" So, the next day I show up to grade school with one front tooth missing and my wrist all taped up and the teacher probably wondering what kind of torture I was being put through. But in actuality, she probably had taught all three of my older brothers and just figured I was just learning to be one of them. You just gotta love my family! Another thing I have learned is that Sharon and I don't shop the same. I shop like this. Look, like, buy, use! Sharon shops like this. Look... look... like....look... look....look.... like... look... like... look... look... look... really like... buy................... return! Well, I finally went home and the first night back Sharon fell off her crutches, dislocated one finger and broke another. (Boy you'd think that with those crutches she'd been able to hop right over that deer lying on the floor.) ((Maybe there is something to "me making things worse".))

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cold Calling

Expert Advice for Overcoming Fear, Building Confidence, and Finding Your Sales V

By: Keith Rosen MCC

Does this sound familiar? “If I could get in front of the prospect, the rest of the selling process becomes easier. It’s just getting in front of them that’s the challenge.” The fact is most cold calling efforts are doomed from the start. Salespeople lose sales not due to a lack of effort, but because they lack a prospecting system they are comfortable with and can trust to generate greater, consistent results. If you are prospecting the same way you have been for the last several years (including the “calling to check in, touch base or follow-up” approach) or haven’t been prospecting at all, you’re simply making it easier for your competition to take away the new business you are working so hard to earn. So, if you love to sell but hate (or don’t like) to prospect, this book is your opportunity to maximize your cold calling potential and boost your income by learning how to get in front of the right prospects in less time and create greater selling opportunities without the fear, pressure or anxiety associated with cold calling. This Complete Idiot’s Guide® will show you how to: • Utilize the seven steps to a permission-based cold calling conversation so that you don’t have to push your presentation and hope there’s a fit. • Create winning voice mail messages that will ensure more return calls. • Develop your MVP (Most Valuable Proposition) that separates you from your competition. • Craft the Compelling Reasons that would motivate a prospect to speak with you. • Prevent and defuse initial objections, such as “I'm not interested,” “We don't have any money now,” or “Call me back later.” • Design your own step-by-step prospecting and follow-up system that runs on autopilot and is aligned with your selling philosophy, strengths, objectives, and natural talents rather than taking the generic, “one size fits all” approach. • Develop the right questions and uncover new selling opportunities in seconds so that you can stop wasting precious time on the wrong prospects.

CSI NY: Four Walls

By: Keith R. A. DeCandido

Detectives Mac Taylor, Danny Messer, Sheldon Hawkes and Don Flack are called in to investigate a double-homicide at a medium security facility on Staten Island. The prison has been witness to a lot of racially-motivated tensions and it appears that things have finally boiled over in a lethal fashion. One of the murders seems to be an open-and-shut case -- a prisoner gets a shiv in his ribs and everyone sees it happen -- but the other is more of a puzzle. At first glance it appears that the victim was killed with a blunt instrument to the head while he was working out in the weights room -- but the CSI team's lab work uncovers something very different... Meanwhile, Detectives Stella Bonasera, Lindsay Monroe and Jennifer Angell look into the murder of a young woman who worked at a popular Italian bakery in the Bronx. There's a likely suspect, one who's been seen flirting with the victim and has a rap sheet for attempted rape -- but Stella isn't sure that everything is what it seems…

The Reunion

By: Keith Barton

Texas football, Vietnam, and mega mergers serve as a backdrop for this coming of age story of Jack Conners who becomes disillusioned with football and is instantly immersed in the atrocities and loneliness of war. The historical fictional piece takes place circa 1963-1990 and follows Jack's career from college to a horrific tour in Vietnam, law school, corporate law, and finally returning to his roots in South Texas.

Jack becomes disillusioned with football and quickly learns the atrocities and loneliness of war. Jack returns from Vietnam as a double amputee and marries Courtney Shaw in law school. He develops an addiction to Vicodin for his leg injury and admits himself to a rehab facility for Vietnam veterans. Throughout the book is the post-trauma of his Vietnam experience and his inability to deal with "survivor guilt." After a successful rehab, he takes an early retirement to marry his high school sweetheart after a painful divorce with Courtney.

Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction in Literature

By: M. Keith Booker

The Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction in Literature is a useful reference to the broad and burgeoning field of science fiction literature. Science fiction literature has gained immensely in critical respect and attention, while maintaining a broad readership. However, despite the fact that it is a rapidly changing field, contemporary science fiction literature also maintains a strong sense of its connections to science fiction of the past, which makes a historical reference of this sort particularly valuable as a tool for understanding science fiction literature as it now exists and as it has evolved over the years. The Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction in Literature covers the history of science fiction in literature through a chronology, an introductory essay, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced entries including significant people; themes; critical issues; and the most significant genres that have formed science fiction literature. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about this subject.

The Day I Killed Sasquatch

By: Dale Keith Moore

You must be the one who shot me.' He waited for my response. With tears flooding my eyes, I mumbled, 'I am so sorry...I thought you were Sasquatch...Please forgive me.' He took a deep breath. 'I believe that before I was conceived, God knew today would be the day I died. I forgive you. I know I have only a few minutes left, so please listen closely. No one is aware of my existence, and I want it to stay that way.' While deer hunting near his home in Mississippi, Dale shoots what he thinks is the legendary Sasquatch. When he goes to retrieve his kill, he is surprised to find a man, instead, with forgiveness and a set of instructions-bury him in the Hinton Graveyard and deliver his bag, unopened, to a certain oak tree across the river. While carrying out Sasquatch's final requests and attempting to clear his conscience, Dale is amazed to learn secrets about Sasquatch's family-as well as his own. Based in part on family stories told by his father, Dale Keith Moore weaves local folklore and history into an exciting and whimsical story that draws readers in.

The Robot's Rebellion

The Robot's Rebellion

Finding Meaning in the Age of Darwin

By: Keith E. Stanovich

The idea that we might be robots is no longer the stuff of science fiction; decades of research in evolutionary biology and cognitive science have led many esteemed scientists to the conclusion that, according to the precepts of universal Darwinism, humans are merely the hosts for two replicators (genes and memes) that have no interest in us except as conduits for replication. Richard Dawkins, for example, jolted us into realizing that we are just survival mechanisms for our own genes, sophisticated robots in service of huge colonies of replicators to whom concepts of rationality, intelligence, agency, and even the human soul are irrelevant. Accepting and now forcefully responding to this decentering and disturbing idea, Keith Stanovich here provides the tools for the "robot's rebellion," a program of cognitive reform necessary to advance human interests over the limited interest of the replicators and define our own autonomous goals as individual human beings. He shows how concepts of rational thinking from cognitive science interact with the logic of evolution to create opportunities for humans to structure their behavior to serve their own ends. These evaluative activities of the brain, he argues, fulfill the need that we have to ascribe significance to human life. We may well be robots, but we are the only robots who have discovered that fact. Only by recognizing ourselves as such, argues Stanovich, can we begin to construct a concept of self based on what is truly singular about humans: that they gain control of their lives in a way unique among life forms on Earth—through rational self-determination.

Is That What "Church" Was Meant to Be?

A Candid Look at Ministry and Fellowship in the Body of Christ

By: Keith C. Hubbs

This book can be a tremendous asset to pastors, church leaders, ministry volunteers and anyone else who desires to see their local church become more real, more enjoyable, more honest... more like the model of the early Church in the Book of Acts. A balance of spiritual truth, humor, practical application, and personal experience, Keith Hubbs takes you through scripture and history to examine the five-fold ministry of Ephesians 4, carefully describing its purpose and intent, its function, and its overwhelming absence in today's Church! It will challenge what you believe about the ministry and your call as a Christian. It will challenge what you think you know about the proper order of church government. It will challenge you to examine your own motives in ministry, and help you realize how YOU fit into God's plan for His Church!

Interactive Storytelling

Developing Inclusive Stories for Children and Adults

By: Keith Park

Interactive storytelling, where the story is spoken or chanted, began as a way to include individuals with severe and profound learning disabilities in larger group activities, whether children at school or adults in day services. The stories are performed in call-and-response - one person calls out a line and the rest of the group respond either by calling back the same line or by calling out a pre-arranged response - and require no previous experience in drama or storytelling. They can be performed anywhere, by anyone. Various stories are explored, ranging from folktales and pantomime to poetry, the works of Charles Dickens, Shakespeare and stories from the Old Testament. Each extract details the full call-and-response for performing the story. This approach to storytelling can be used by teachers and group facilitators in a variety of settings and with any group of children or adults, irrespective of their level of disability. This hands-on manual will enable teachers, therapists, parents and anyone working with children or adults in community settings to use performance and recital to bring stories, drama and poetry to life for people of all abilities. 'This book is a useful resource...is simply written...is especially appropriate for people working with children and adults with speech, language and communication difficulties.' - Child Language Teaching and Therapy.

The Masked Charlatan

A Mounting Unrest

By: Alan Keith

This is part 2 of the novel which explains my idea as a historian of the seventeenth century period just how a successful Gunpowder Plot attacking the Houses of Parliament changed English history completely. It explains how English history was completely altered when the King James I was killed as he came to reopen Parliament on November 5th 1605 and how the death of the king and the partial destruction of Parliament led to increasing confusion throughout England and a partial uprising of Catholics in the country. This book describes the increasing uprising which grew throughout England as Parliament got out of control once more with extremely detailed accuracy as to just how England was early on in the seventeenth century as well as bringing an important and thoroughly philosophical character named Captain Pouch to life to organise and control the devastating protests as well as through his own negotiating skills working out ways to bring the complete uprising in England under control to everyones satisfaction.

King, Melvin Burgess, Keith Gray, Patrick Ness, Anne Fine, Sophie McKenzie, Bali Rai, Jenny Valentine, Mary Hooper, and Andrew Smith. Some of today's leading international YA authors contributed to this hard-hitting collection of original short stories: some funny, some moving, some haunting, but all revolving around the same subject—virginity.

Wildcats over Casablanca

By: M. T. Wordell,Keith Ayling,E. N. Seiler

Wildcats Over Casablanca, first published in 1943, is a first-hand account by U.S. naval aviators in World War Two's 'Operation Torch' – the November 1942 British-American invasion of French North Africa and their fighting against the Vichy French. The exploits of the airmen, based on the aircraft carrier USS Ranger, and flying their trusted Grumman F4F “Wildcats” are described, as are sorties of the carrier’s bomber and scout squadrons. French battleship Jean Bart, still under construction following the French surrender to Germany, was in the Casablanca Harbor, and sunk as part of the Operation. The Operation was also significant as it was one of the first wartime engagements to use carriers in support of an amphibious landing. During the combat, co-author “Mac” Wordell, who commanded the squadron – known as the “Red Rippers” – was shot down and taken prisoner by the Vichy French, and an interesting perspective is provided of the divided French loyalties prevalent at that time.
