The Neighborhood

Lessons and Light from My Youth

By: Paul H. Price

Childhood is the very foundation of adulthood. The ideals and expressions of life we hold in our adulthood have their origins and rudiments in the ideals and expressions of life we encounter and gather and live out in our youth. Be they feelings of worth or worthlessness, the vigor and hope of making something of ourselves, or an acquiescence to the belief that things of consequence are beyond our reach, or the lens of optimism or of doubt with which we view our own existence, all have their budding and beginnings in the experiences, or lack of experiences, of our childhood. And growing up in the 1950s and 1960s was at a very unique convergence of circumstances of combined societal, economical, political, spiritual, and cultural seismic shifting perhaps unlike any other era. We were a nation barely emerging from decades of world-wide wars and economic ruin and social survival, trying now to find our footing and our own stride and our equilibrium and our very identity. Never were we more communally encased and even secure in, and at the same time struggling to break out of, our traditions, our superstitions, our ignorance, our fears, our limitations, and our collective innocence.

Superstud

Or How I Became a 24-Year-Old Virgin

By: Paul Feig

Lost in love and don't know much? Paul Feig knew even less... Like any other red-blooded, straight young man, Paul Feig spent much of his teenage years trying to solve the mystery of women. Unlike most red-blooded, straight teenage boys, however, Paul Feig was sadly at a considerable disadvantage. He was tall and gangly. He had a love for musical theater. And, perhaps the death knell for his burgeoning sex life, Paul was a tap dance student. (And we have the pictures to prove it—see the front cover.) Infused with the same witty and infectiously readable style of his first book, Kick Me, Superstud chronicles the trials and tribulations of Feig’s young dating life with all the same excruciating detail as an on-air gastric bypass—and you just won’t be able to tear yourself away. Feig’s series of shudder-to-think but oddly familiar (come on—we’ve all been dumped by someone we didn’t even like that much) anecdotes include: his first date, at an REO Speedwagon concert with the most endowed girl in school, who leaves him sitting next to a puddle of puke; his first breakup, accomplished by moving across the country; his mortifying date with his secretly bigoted girlfriend; his discovery of a new self-love technique that almost lands him in the hospital; and his less-than-idealistic “first time,” which he nevertheless elevates to biblical proportions. In Superstud, Paul Feig tells all in a hilarious but true testament to geekdom, love, and growing up.

The Story of Hollywood

An Illustrated History

By: Gregory Paul Williams

Before the film industry arrived, Hollywood was filled with quaint bungalows, millionaires' estates, and churches dedicated to teetotalism. Movies shattered Hollywood's tranquillity, and brought wealth, fame and glamorous movie stars. The giants of the movie industry invented klieg-lighted movie premieres and the Academy Awards in Hollywood. Go beyond the star-studded surface to the district's days of union busting, gangsters, and scandal, foreshadowing Hollywood's seedy decline. The book concludes with Hollywood's redevelopment that continues today. The book features the famous faces and places that made the town legendary, offering a unique perspective on celebrity nightlife and the behind-the-scenes stories of day-to-day life. Lavishly illustrated with over 800 vintage images from the author's private collection, "The Story of Hollywood" brings new insights to readers with a passion for Hollywood and its place in the history of film, radio, and television.

From My Earliest Memory

Peek Into My Past

By: Paul Schwertmann

When looking back over my eighty-six years, it is hard to imagine that those years are behind me. I thank God for every one. Many told stories that only I can tell. I wish there were more years spent with my two daughters, for they grew up so fast. In writing my autobiography, God has given me remembrance of the past. I pray that this true story will hold dear to my daughters’ (Christy and Lori’s) hearts, giving them a little map of their heritage. There were many bumps in the road, but God had straightened them all out.

Good Night, Paul

The Journey to My NHL: Living the Dream

By: Paul C. J. Campbell, BEd, DAUS

Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Paul Campbell has lived on three continents, sailed several oceans, and had many unique life experiences, most of which included his family. Paul was an athlete from a young age and eventually became a professional. His lifelong dream of making the NHL came to a horrific halt after a terrible car accident almost ended Paul's life and took the life of his good friend. After coming out of a coma, Paul started a new journey, which began in a wheelchair. He went on to earn two degrees from the University of New Brunswick. Today Paul teaches, coaches, changes lives, is a ski instructor, and a guest lecturer. While Paul never played major league hockey, he received a higher calling: to his own NHL (National Helpers League). Paul told people he would make the NHL, and even though his NHL is very different, it is even more important in the global scheme of things.

A Practitioner's Guide to European Patent Law

For National Practice and the Unified Patent Court

By: Paul England

This new edition is a comprehensive and practical guide to European patent law – a 'ius commune'. The book highlights the areas of consistency and difference between the most influential European patent law jurisdictions: the European Patent Office, England and Wales, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. The book also draws insights from further afield, with contributions from other, very active, patent jurisdictions, including Italy, Sweden, Denmark, and Switzerland. Uniquely, the book addresses European patent law by subject matter area, assessing the key national and EPO approaches together rather than nation by nation. Each chapter outlines the common ground between the national approaches and provides a guide for the possible application of European patent law in national courts and the UPC in the future. In addition to featuring content on new countries, the second edition includes new chapters dedicated to the substantive aspects of FRAND, declarations, and evidence. There is also an expanded commentary on construction, including common terms used in patent claims. A must-read for anyone working in the field of European patent law.

Dynamic Physical Education for Secondary School Students

By: Timothy A. Brusseau,Heather Erwin,Paul W. Darst,Robert P. Pangrazi

Dynamic Physical Education for Secondary School Students (DPE) continues its legacy as the go-to textbook for preparing future secondary physical educators. Now in its 10th edition, this trusted resource presents a standards-based approach to teaching physical education. DPE guides physical education teacher education (PETE) students through the process of creating a positive learning environment that is developmentally and culturally appropriate for all students and is designed to develop skills that promote physical activity outside of school and across the life span. DPE is an ideal resource for preparing preservice physical educators to feel confident and effective in the class setting from day one. It provides the foundational knowledge to teach quality physical education and complements that learning with a host of ready-to-use activities and lesson plans. PETE students can use each lesson plan as is or build their own lesson plans from the provided activities. The principles of DPE have been implemented and studied for more than five decades and have stood the test of time. The text emphasizes skill development, activity promotion, and physical fitness behaviors that serve as the foundation of quality physical education programming and teaching. The enhancements in this 10th edition continue to build on those pillars to put theory into practice: Updates throughout the text stress the importance of culturally relevant pedagogy and curricula and emphasize social–emotional learning. QR codes link directly to complete units and lessons on the Dynamic PE ASAP website so readers can immediately see application of specific activities. Activity chapters have been reorganized around game themes to better align with current curriculum approaches, and new activities and games (such as pickleball) have been added. This text will help current and future educators promote physical activity beyond the school day. It offers a vast array of evidence-based activities and instructional strategies that will help PETE students shape quality physical education programs, employ successful teaching practices for secondary students, administer a comprehensive school physical activity program (CSPAP), and offer activities that motivate students and improve their skill and competence. Teaching tips also provide insights drawn from the real-life experiences of teachers and teacher educators. DPE continues to meet the needs of preservice and in-service teachers in developing curricula that meet physical education standards. DPE continues to be one of the most widely used and influential secondary physical education texts in the field. It helps readers implement current best practices and equips students with the information they need to create engaging and meaningful PE programs.

Built in 1929, Chicago Stadium was the crowning achievement of local sports promoter Paddy Harmon. The largest sports arena in the world when it was built, the stadium was completed at a total cost of $9.5 million. The "Madhouse on Madison" witnessed an active 65-year reign as the city's greatest auditorium. Home to both the Chicago Blackhawks and the Chicago Bulls, the stadium's attendance eclipsed that of others around the nation as it hosted numerous boxing matches, the first playoff game of the National Football League, rodeo competitions, and concerts (featuring Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and later KISS) among other events. Chicago Stadium fell to the wrecking ball in 1995.

To Walk on Water

By: Timothy Paul Neller

Terry thought that his life would change drastically when he became a Christian, and it did, but not in the way that he thought it would. Instead of life being easier, it became much harder, each day filled with temptations that were challenges to his newfound faith. His feelings about himself and those around him intensified, and when he felt himself sliding back into his old habits, his closest friends, Lolly and Nick, assured him that they were always there to support him, urged him not to lose his faith, and reminded that God would always give him the strength and wisdom to handle any problem. He wasn't so sure about that when his girlfriend Jenny came back from New York City after trying out for the New York Ballet and would no longer talk to him. After her trip to New York, Jenny too was struggling with her faith and began to question whether or not God even existed. She shut herself off from those around her, began to hate her father, and felt hopelessly lost. It was only through her friend, Lolly, that she again began to see things more clearly. But Terry continued to struggle, and it was only when the lives of all his friends had been threatened and he seemed to have lost everything did he come to know God and to understand his true purpose.

King Leary

By: Paul Quarrington

Selected as the 2008 CBC Canada Reads Winner! "A dazzling display of fictional footwork… The author has not written just another hockey novel; he has turned hockey in a metaphor for magic." Maclean's Percival Leary was once the King of the Ice, one of hockey's greatest heroes. Now, in the South Grouse Nursing Home, where he shares a room with Edmund "Blue" Hermann, the antagonistic and alcoholic reporter who once chronicled his career, Leary looks back on his tumultuous life and times: his days at the boys' reformatory when he burned down a house; the four mad monks who first taught him to play hockey; and the time he executed the perfect "St. Louis Whirlygig" to score the winning goal in the 1919 Stanley Cup final. Now all but forgotten, Leary is only a legend in his own mind until a high-powered advertising agency decides to feature him in a series of ginger ale commercials. With his male nurse, his son, and the irrepressible Blue, Leary sets off for Toronto on one last adventure as he revisits the scenes of his glorious life as King of the Ice.

Into the Night Sky

RAF Middleton St George: A Bomber Airfield At War

By: Paul Tweddle

Britain's most northerly bomber base - Middleton St George in County Durham - played a key role in the RAF's strategic night bomber offensive against Germany - from the day its resident Whitley bomber squadron flew its first offensive operational sorties in April 1941 up until the end of the war in Europe in May 1945. Over four hard years of total war, its squadrons of Whitleys, Halifaxes and Lancasters flew in all the main RAF offensives against the Third Reich. These included the Thousand Bomber Raids, the Battles of the Ruhr, Hamburg and Berlin, and finally the huge daylight raids that pulverised the failing heart of Nazi Germany in the closing months of the war in Europe.

Historical Dictionary of the Broadway Musical

By: William A. Everett,Paul R. Laird

The Broadway musical has greatly influenced both American and world culture. Shows such as Oklahoma! and Annie Get Your Gun are as American as apple pie, while the long runs of imports such as Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, and Les Misérables have broken records. Shows filled with rock and pop music such as Mamma Mia! and Wicked enthrall audiences, and revivals of beloved shows play an important role in contemporary Broadway culture. Actors Ethel Merman, Yul Brynner, Julie Andrews, Bernadette Peters, and Audra McDonald; composers and lyricists Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Jeanine Tesori; and directors and choreographers George Abbott, Agnes de Mille, Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse, Tommy Tune, and Susan Stroman—to name only a few—have gained national and international recognition by way of the Broadway musical stage. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Broadway Musical contains a chronology, an introduction, an appendix, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1000 cross-referenced entries on Broadway shows, composers, playwrights, directors, producers, designers, actors, and theatres. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Broadway musicals.

Made in Detroit

A South of 8 Mile Memoir

By: Paul Clemens

A New York Times Notable BookA powerfully candid memoir about growing up white in Detroit and the conflicted point of view it produced. Raised in Detroit during the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s, Paul Clemens saw his family growing steadily isolated from its surroundings: white in a predominately black city, Catholic in an area where churches were closing at a rapid rate, and blue-collar in a steadily declining Rust Belt. As the city continued to collapse—from depopulation, indifference, and the racial antagonism between blacks and whites—Clemens turned to writing and literature as his lifeline, his way of dealing with his contempt for suburban escapees and his frustration with the city proper. Sparing no one—particularly not himself—this is an astonishing examination of race and class relations from a fresh perspective, one forged in a city both desperate and hopeful.
