Originally published in 1929, this book details the famous silent actor and sex symbol Rudolph Valentino and his lover Natacha Rambova’s travels back to Europe in 1923. Valentino kept a diary at this time, into which he faithfully recorded his thoughts whilst living the American dream, proving his naysayers back home in Italy wrong: “My Dream is coming true! From day to day, night to night, here and there, I am going to write down my impressions. I am going to put down on paper the things I think, the things I do, the people I meet, all of the sensations, pleasurable and profitable that are mine. I shall never go home, I said to myself, until I can go home somebody...”

The Rudolph Valentino Brown Story

The Rise of the Legendary House of Brown Hair Salon

By: Rudolph Valentino Brown

THE RUDOLPH VALENTINO BROWN STORY, which chronicles The Rise of the Legendary House of Brown Hair Salon in Houston, TX, is without a doubt the most moving story about one mans climb to success against great odds. Having come from a small town, born of slimly educated parents, and with little other than the clothes on his back and a few packed away in a brown paper bag, Rudy sets out on a journey to California to seek his dream. Little did he know then that his dream was not in California but right there in Houston, Texas, on a street called Lyons. However, once there, he decides to dig in, fi nd a job, and make something of himself. He does just that. He eventually gives birth to the House of Brown Hair Salon. In fact, he ultimately accomplishes what few ever attain in their lifetimesuccess and the American Dream. As told in his words, Rudolph Valentino Brown takes us on a journey of a thousand miles in which he sharpens his talent for hair design, and that talent takes him on a trail to do hair for some of the most celebrated performers and entertainers in our lifetime. Now in its 50th year, the House of Brown Hair Salon is stronger than ever.

Day Dreams

By: Rudolph Valentino

To you, my gentle reader, I wish to say a foreword of warning before you peruse the contents of this book. I am not a poet nor a scholar, therefore you shall find neither poems nor prose. Just dreams - Day Dreams - a bit of romance, a bit of sentimentalism, a bit of philosophy, not studied, but acquired by constant observation of that greatest of masters! . . . Nature! While lying idle, not through choice, but because forcibly kept from my preferred and actual field of activity, I took to dreams to forget the tediousness of worldly strife and the boredom of jurisprudence's pedantic etiquette. Happy indeed I shall be if my Day Dreams will bring you as much enjoyment in the reading as they brought to me in the writing. Rudolph Valentino

Power and Principle

The Politics of International Criminal Courts

By: Christopher Rudolph

On August 21, 2013, chemical weapons were unleashed on the civilian population in Syria, killing another 1,400 people in a civil war that had already claimed the lives of more than 140,000. As is all too often the case, the innocent found themselves victims of a violent struggle for political power. Such events are why human rights activists have long pressed for institutions such as the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate and prosecute some of the world’s most severe crimes: genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. While proponents extol the creation of the ICC as a transformative victory for principles of international humanitarian law, critics have often characterized it as either irrelevant or dangerous in a world dominated by power politics. Christopher Rudolph argues in Power and Principle that both perspectives are extreme. In contrast to prevailing scholarship, he shows how the interplay between power politics and international humanitarian law have shaped the institutional development of international criminal courts from Nuremberg to the ICC. Rudolph identifies the factors that drove the creation of international criminal courts, explains the politics behind their institutional design, and investigates the behavior of the ICC. Through the development and empirical testing of several theoretical frameworks, Power and Principle helps us better understand the factors that resulted in the emergence of international criminal courts and helps us determine the broader implications of their presence in society.

Fate, Honor, Family and Village

Demographic and Cultural Change in Rural Italy Since 1800

By: Rudolph M. Bell

The Italian peasantry has often been described as tragic, backward, hopeless, downtrodden, static, and passive. In Fate and Honor, Family and Village, Rudolph Bell argues against this characterization by reconstructing the complete demographic history of four country villages since 1800. He analyzes births, marriages, and deaths in terms of four concepts that capture more accurately and sympathetically the essence of the Italian peasant's life: Fortuna (fate), onore (honor, dignity), famiglia (family), and campanilismo (village).Fortuna is the cultural wellspring of Italian peasant society, the worldview from which all social life flows. The concept of Fortuna does not refer to philosophical questions, predestination, or value judgments. Rather, Fortuna is the sum total of all explanations of outcomes perceived to be beyond human control. Thus, in Bell's view, high mortality does not lead peasants to a resigned acceptance of their fate; instead, they rely on honor, reciprocal exchanges of favors, and marriage to forge new links in their familial and social networks. With thorough documentation in graphs and tables, the author evaluates peasant reactions to time, work, family, space, migration, and protest to portray rural Italians as active, flexible, and shrewd, participating fully in shaping their destinies.Bell asserts that the real problem of the Mezzogiorno is not one of resistance to technology, of high birth rates, or even of illiteracy. It is one of solving technical questions in ways that foster dependency. The historical and sociological practice of treating peasant culture as backward, secondary, and circumscribed only encourages disruption and ultimately blocks the road to economic and political justice in a post-modern world.

Discovering our Mission and Purposes

Discovering our Mission and Purposes

By: Rudolph Burdett

THIS IS NOT A BOOK ON EVANGELISM. As a Christian, we all have a mission. Also, as a Christian, we should implement purposes in our life. Everything that is made is made for a purpose. To use something other than what it is made for can be disastrous. This book talks about what can and will cause us to lose our mission and purpose. It also challenges us to allow others to see Christ in us with specific traits that drive us and lead us to fulfilling our purposes. It offers a contrast to the cries of our secular society that reaches out and talks about what we need to do to discover our mission and purpose in Christ. Upon reading this book, a person will find out that many biblical characters experienced problems, but they continued in accomplishing their purposes and mission. In other words, they did not give up. We should not let anything hinder or cause us to quit.

Trains Across the Continent, Second Edition

North American Railroad History

By: Rudolph Daniels

Trains Across the Continent North American Railroad History Second Edition Rudolph Daniels A wonderfully readable, illustrated guide to the history of railroads in America. "Trains Across the Continent is everything you need to know about railroad history—both educational and enjoyable reading." —Dean Bruce, President, Railroad Education Training Association "Trains Across the Continent should be in every public school library in the country. Quickly and concisely Dr. Daniels leads you through the maze of building, merging, and a myriad of other details necessary to understand modern railroading. Steam, diesel, passenger, and freight are all carefully explained on a national scale rather than railroad specific, making this book even more of a useful tool for the student." —Donald D. Snoddy, Historian, Union Pacific Railroad "Trains Across the Continent" is a truly comprehensive account of how railroads helped shape, and are continuing to shape, the history of North America." —Jonathan B. Hanna, Historian, Canadian Pacific Railway "Nothing but positive comments about it from faculty and students alike. . . . The industry bible in this area." —Phillip B. Cypret, Sacramento City College "Professor Daniels displays both passion and scholarship in this nicely arranged buffet of subjects both large and minute, important and interesting, serious and fun, to present a delicious overview of railroad history." —James D. Porterfield, author of Dining by Rail "Daniels manages to make brief mention of all major points of North American railroad history . . . from the workings of a steam locomotive to the dawn of the railroad mega-merger, nearly every conceivable aspect of railroading receives attention. . . . This volume is a must for those wishing to broaden or hone their knowledge of the birth and evolution of the railroad industry in North America." —Rail News Updated maps, new appendices, a greatly expanded bibliography, detailed discussions of the recent attempted mergers of the CN and BNSF, of the diesel locomotive, and of railroad electrification further round out the usefulness of Trains Across the Continent as the complete and concise introduction to North American railroads. Rudolph Daniels is Chair of the Behavioral Sciences Department at Western Iowa Tech Community College, where he teaches history and Railroad Operations Technology.
