The Media and the Mayor's Race

The Failure of Urban Political Reporting

By: Phyllis C. Kaniss

A study of the way a key group of reporters and their news organizations cover a political campaign in Philadelphia. Three methods were used: participant-observation, content analysis, and interviewing. The ultimate intention was not simply to measure and analyze the news coverage of one particular race but to shed light on the underlying processes and organizational structures that influence news coverage of local elections.

More Tales of the West Riding

By: Phyllis Bentley

Phyllis Bentley returns to the West Riding to tell tales of life, love, murder, betrayal and friendship. Amongst the familiar mills, towns and rolling hills, we find heart-warming – and sometimes heartbreaking – characters brought to life with Bentley's charismatically authentic touch. Broken into two parts, 'Past Events,' and 'Present Occasions,' we visit first the West Riding of the late Victorian and early Edwardian Eras. We witness a man lie, cheat and kill for the object of his desire. Friends are pulled apart by their own rivalry. A child is punished for the crimes of her parents. In the sometimes harsh reality of this period, we still find companionship, humour and hope. In 'Present Occasions,' we return to the more modern West Riding of the 1970's. Here, although time has moved on, we see the same salt-of-the-earth characters. But is there a place for the mills, with their traditional ways of life, in the modern world? This charming collection of stories, first published in 1974, is a wonderful example of Bentley's literary skill, and a welcome return for her many fans, to the West Riding.

Black Cat Weekly #79

By: N.M. Cedeño,Bryon Quertermous ,Phyllis Ann Karr ,Hal Charles,Philip José Farmer ,George O. Smith ,Francis Beeding,Wenzell Brown ,Oliver Saari ,Franklin W. Dixon

Our 79th issue features a pair of original mysteries by N.M. Cedeño (thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken) and Bryon Quertermous (thanks to Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman). Cedeño is no stranger to BCW readers, having already appeared in our pages twice before. Hopefully Bryon Quertermous will match that hat trick, too. Rounding out the mystery section are a pair of novels: Francis Beeding’s The House of Doctor Edwardes (filmed by Alfred Hitchcock as Spellbound) and The House on the Cliff, by Franklin W. Dixon, which you may recognize as the very first Hardy Boys book. If you grew up reading the modern revisions of the original Hardy Boys series (which began in 1927), you’re in for a shock: these brothers are tougher, edgier, and face real peril. They were definitely watered down beginning in the 1950s. And often the titles were the only things that remained from the original stories. And, of course, no issue would be complete without a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles (the writing team of Hal Blythe and Charlie Sweet). In the science fiction & fantasy section, Phyllis Ann Karr continues the adventures of her legendary fantasy duo, Frostflower and Thorn, in “Night of the Short Knives.” Don’t skip her Afterword about the story; it’s fascinating. Plus we have tales by Philip José Farmer, a rare science fiction foray by mystery author Wenzell Brown, and tales by Oliver Saari and George O. Smith. Great stuff. Here’s the lineup: Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure: “Disappearance of a Serial Spouse,” by N.M. Cedeño [Michael Bracken Presents short story] “An Impossible Theft,” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery] “Visiting Artist,” by Bryon Quertermous [Barb Goffman Presents short story] The House of Doctor Edwardes, by Francis Beeding [novel] The House on the Cliff, by Franklin W. Dixon [novel, Hardy Boys #1] Science Fiction & Fantasy: “Night of the Short Knives,” by Phyllis Ann Karr [short story, Frostflower & Thorn] Daughter,” by Philip José Farmer [short story] “Murderer’s Chain,” by Wenzell Brown [short story] “Moon Dust,” by Oliver Saari [short story] “Bombs Awry,” by George O.

A Bit of Irish Gold

A Love Story

By: Phyllis Karsnia

In 1888, after eight years of waiting and planning, Matt Donahue is finally ready to flee Irelands oppression and journey to America. He has dreamed of having land of his own and a right to vote. But since the quota for Irish immigration has been filled, Matt must travel to Scotland in order to book passage to America. On the trip, Matt meets a beautiful young woman named Annie Rice. They share a brief but unforgettable kiss, and as Marr starts his journey to America, he is unable to forget her. Once he arrives in New York City, he begins a correspondence with Annie; as he works his way from Pennsylvania to Ohio and, finally, to Minnesota, their love blossoms through the written word. From an iron ore mine in Tower, Minnesota, Matt joins a gold rush to Rainy Lake City and eventually buys a parcel of land outside the small village of Koochiching, Minnesota. Finally with the new home to call his own, he returns to Ireland hoping Annie will marry him. But is she already married? Will she move to America against her mothers wishes? Based on atrue story and filled with vivid historical details, A Bit of Irish Gold beautifully captures the immigrant experience.

The Battle for Children and Custody

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Mothers on Trial

The Battle for Children and Custody

By: Phyllis Chesler

Updated and revised with seven new chapters, a new introduction, and a new resources section, this landmark book is invaluable for women facing a custody battle. It was the first to break the myth that mothers receive preferential treatment over fathers in custody disputes. Although mothers generally retain custody when fathers choose not to fight for it, fathers who seek custody often win—not because the mother is unfit or the father has been the primary caregiver but because, as Phyllis Chesler argues, women are held to a much higher standard of parenting. Incorporating findings from years of research, hundreds of interviews, and international surveys about child-custody arrangements, Chesler argues for new guidelines to resolve custody disputes and to prevent the continued oppression of mothers in custody situations. This book provides a philosophical and psychological perspective as well as practical advice from one of the country’s leading matrimonial lawyers. Both an indictment of a discriminatory system and a call to action over motherhood under siege, Mothers on Trial is essential reading for anyone concerned either personally or professionally with custody rights and the well-being of the children involved.

Silversword

By: Phyllis A. Whitney

In the Hawaiian Islands, a divorcée is threatened by a dangerous deception from her past, in this novel from “a superb and gifted storyteller”(Mary Higgins Clark). Hawaiian-born Caroline Kirby was only six years old when her parents died under mysterious circumstances, and she was shuttled off to live with her grandmother in San Francisco. Now, after years under the strict governance of the old woman, followed by an unhappy marriage, the young, newly single Caroline is anxious to return to the lush vistas of her island home, reunite with her long-lost relatives, and above all, finally defy her eccentric grandmother’s sinister warning to never question the past and never, ever go home again. At first, Maui is even more splendid than she remembered, and family and acquaintances more inviting than she could have dreamed—including David Reed, a childhood friend who now offers the possibility of a new romance. But soon, in the imposing shadow of the Haleakala volcano, where her parents met their fate, Caroline begins to fear that her entire world has been built on a lie, and everyone she has come to trust is guarding a long-dormant secret so shocking it could not only change her life, but end it. From the Edgar and Agatha Award–winning “Queen of the American gothics” (The New York Times), Silversword is a novel filled with “ever-reliable scenic suspense” (Kirkus Reviews). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Phyllis A. Whitney including rare images from the author’s estate.

Alfred Stieglitz

Taking Pictures, Making Painters

By: Phyllis Rose

A fascinating biography of a revolutionary American artist ripe for rediscovery as a photographer and champion of other artists Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946) was an enormously influential artist and nurturer of artists even though his accomplishments are often overshadowed by his role as Georgia O’Keeffe’s husband. This new book from celebrated biographer Phyllis Rose reconsiders Stieglitz as a revolutionary force in the history of American art. Born in New Jersey, Stieglitz at age eighteen went to study in Germany, where his father, a wool merchant and painter, insisted he would get a proper education. After returning to America, he became one of the first American photographers to achieve international fame. By the time he was sixty, he gave up photography and devoted himself to selling and promoting art. His first gallery, 291, was the first American gallery to show works by Picasso, Rodin, Matisse, and other great European modernists. His galleries were not dealerships so much as open universities, where he introduced European modern art to Americans and nurtured an appreciation of American art among American artists.

The 8th Ghost Story MEGAPACK®

25 Modern and Classic Ghost Stories

By: Talmage Powell,Phyllis Ann Karr,Stephen Wasylyk,Mary Elizabeth Counselman,Wallace West,Charlotte Brontë,H. G. Wells,Mary Elizabeth Braddon,J. Sheridan Le Fanu,Arthur Conan Doyle,George MacDonald

We love ghost stories here at Wildside Press—witness the fact that we have now now reached our eighth volume in this series. Very few other genres are so versatile and enduring as tales of the supernatural. Ghosts can (and have) appeared in literature for thousands of years, in all countries and continents (and times past, present, and future) throughout the world. But the Victorian era particularly seemed to embrace ghost stories, and that’s when Christmas ghost tales became not just a staple of literature, but a requirement. Seemingly all British fiction magazines (and many newspapers) had to publish at least one ghostly tale in the month of December. Proving that the ghost story tradition is strong to the present day, we have an original story from Phyllis Ann Karr (author of the Frostflower and Thorn series), plus two drawn from Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine (which strayed a little more into the fantastic and horrific in the 1960s that it does today), plus another modern story by Wallace West, who is best known as a science fiction writer. Good stuff. Here is the complete lineup: UNSEEN—UNFEARED, by Francis Stevens RUNNING WOLF, by Algernon Blackwood UNCLE CHRISTIAN’S INHERITANCE, by Erckmann-Chatrian MOMMY, by Mary Elizabeth Counselman A GHOST’S REVENGE, by Tighe Hopkins THE HAUNTED HOUSE, by George MacDonald THE THING IN THE UPPER ROOM, by Arthur Morrison DIE, GEORGE!, by Stephen Wasylyk HEINRICH, by Wallace West RESURGAM, by Rina Ramsay THE SPECTRE OF TAPPINGTON, by Thomas Ingoldsby THE INEXPERIENCED GHOST, by H.

It was a late decision but a wise one, because in the face of danger, Private Alfred Arthur Bridges proved to be as brave as a giant. Throughout his time serving in South Africa and the wastes of Siberia, Private Bridges kept a diary, supplemented by a collection of newspaper and regimental magazine articles of the period. Always modest and unassuming, often quietly amusing, it offers a vivid picture of the horrors and hardships of the Russian campaign and a fascinating perspective on a long-ago war.

Tainted. From Farm Gate to Dinner Plate, Fifty Years of Food Safety Failures

By: Phyllis Entis

Salmonella in eggs. Listeria in deli meats. Melamine in milk. Cyclospora in lettuce. In a world where irrigation water is contaminated by run-off from cattle feedlots and where food processors cut corners, the food preparation skills we learned from our parents and grandparents are no longer good enough to keep us safe. Using a variety of foodborne disease outbreaks, often illustrated with the stories of individual victims, Tainted explores the ways in which food becomes contaminated. Some of the stories - such as the deadly 1993 Jack in the Box outbreak - will be very familiar. Others will not. In this update to her 2007 book, “Food Safety: Old Habits, New Perspectives,” Phyllis Entis draws on nearly five decades of experience to explain how our regulatory systems have failed us, and to talk about what can be done to protect consumers from unsafe food.
