Behind the Screen

By: Lawrence Jarvik,Laurence Jarvik

PBS originataed with good intentions: Making the world better through education. But according to media analyst Laurence Jarvik, America's only taxpayer-supported public broadcasting network has gone astray. " ... must reading for anyone who is interested in how the public broadcasting system was created, what it achieved, and where it has gone wrong." -- David Horowitz In his new book, PBS: Behind the Screen, Jarvik provides the first independent, historical account of our nation's television network. Based on years of research and scores of interviews, he tours readers through PBS's evolution, from the early days, when the network was a shining vision in the minds of educators and philanthropists, to later years, when it became the focal point of a never-ending, sometimes ugly tug-of-war between opposing political camps. "PBS: Behind the Screen answers the following questions: - Does Sesame Street really educate? - What political agenda underlies PBS's hard-hitting documentary programs? - Is the real Bill Moyers the carefully crafted image viewers see on the screen? - What challenges did William F. Buckley Jr. have to overcome before Firing Line could be broadcast? - Just how much did America's favorite chef, Julia Child, really know about cooking when she started out?

Miss Cyclone

By: Laurence Peyrin

Cette femme est une surdouée ! Une merveilleuse raconteuse d'histoire qui nous plonge avec subtilité et tendresse dans le monde des femmes." Gérard Collard, La Griffe Noire Coney Island, là où New York se jette dans la mer, est un endroit enchanteur l’été, avec sa fête foraine légendaire, et fantomatique l’hiver quand les manèges sont à l’arrêt. C’est là qu’Angela et June, 16 ans, ont grandi ensemble. Deux jeunes filles vives et joyeuses, que rien ne destinait à s’entendre, et que rien ne peut séparer. Mais une nuit, la nuit où toute la jeunesse new-yorkaise pleure la mort de John Lennon, leur vie prend un tour inattendu : Angela, par un mélange de fatalisme et d’innocence, accepte de son petit ami ce qu’elle ne voulait pas vraiment. Parce qu’elle n’ose pas en parler à June, son silence devient un secret... Et leur destin à toutes les deux en sera changé à jamais. Une amitié indéfectible vibrant au rythme de New York, la ville où bat le coeur du monde. L'histoire ciselée et envoûtante du chemin parcouru par Angela et June pour se construire une belle vie. Journaliste de presse pendant vingt ans, Laurence Peyrin se consacre désormais à l’écriture. La Drôle de vie de Zelda Zonk, son premier roman, a reçu le prix Maison de la Presse en 2015.
