A Splurch in the Kisser

The Movies of Blake Edwards

By: Sam Wasson

With one of the longest and most controversial careers in Hollywood history, Blake Edwards is a phoenix of movie directors, full of hubris, ambition, and raving comic chutzpah. His rambunctious filmography remains an artistic force on par with Hollywood's greatest comic directors: Lubitsch, Sturges, Wilder. Like Wilder, Edwards's propensity for hilarity is double-helixed with pain, and in films like Breakfast at Tiffany's, Days of Wine and Roses, and even The Pink Panther, we can hear him off-screen, laughing in the dark. And yet, despite those enormous successes, he was at one time considered a Hollywood villain. After his marriage to Julie Andrews, Edwards's Darling Lili nearly sunk the both of them and brought Paramount Studios to its knees. Almost overnight, Blake became an industry pariah, which ironically fortified his sense of satire, as he simultaneously fought the Hollywood tide and rode it. Employing keen visual analysis, meticulous research, and troves of interviews and production files, Sam Wasson delivers the first complete account of one of the maddest figures Hollywood has ever known.

The Problems of Sulphur

Reviews in Coal Science

By: Sam Stuart

The Problems of Sulphur discusses all aspects of the problems associated with sulfur in coal. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 addresses the forms of sulfur in coal and evaluates processes directed at the chemical removal of sulphur. Part 2 expands on this to look at alternative means of removing sulfur both physically and biologically, sulfur removal during the combustion of coal and flue gas desulfurization processes. Part 3 looks at the role of sulphates in the atmosphere from the points of view of their formation, transport and deposition and of their effects on health, materials and the atmosphere. The book will be of value to engineers, environmentalists, and chemists.

Is Sharma a Quiet Don?

Transcending Scam, Stake and Survival

By: Sam Venkatesam

‘Is Sharma a Quiet Don?’ is the surreal story, rather a high voltage thriller on theft and misuse of nuclear technology under the disguise of Research and Development (R&D). Venkatesh Sharma, a simple South Indian Brahmin is an Expat (Expatriate Executive) business man in Haipon, a nuclear armed country. He lives and works happily in Haipon as a well-recognised and well respected Expat. It all changes one day. Venkatesh realizes that he is quietly drawn into a terrorist intrigue to smuggle some crucial nuclear secrets from a key industry in the US. He scuttles their plans smartly in the last minute. But he gets caught in the vicious dragnet of self-survival which entails his keeping the terrorists happy on one side and helping the Haiponese Government to nab the terrorists at the same time. The terrorists use the hallowed R&D labs of Haipon for their nefarious designs and race to their goal. The game involves high level honchos of Haiponese Government and hence is sophisticated and involved, to say the least. Can Venkatesh Sharma satisfy the hidden agendas of all the stakeholders, namely the terrorists, Haiponese government and himself?

Dock Workers

International Explorations in Comparative Labour History, 1790-1970

By: Sam Davies,Colin J. Davis,David de Vries,Lex Heerma van Voss,Lidewij Hesselink,Klaus Weinhauer

Workers who loaded and unloaded ships have formed a distinctive occupational group over the past two centuries. As trade expanded so the numbers of dock labourers increased and became concentrated in the major ports of the world. This ambitious two-volume project goes beyond existing individual studies of dock workers to develop a genuinely comparative international perspective over a long historical period. Volume 1 contains studies of 22 major ports worldwide. Built around an agreed framework of issues, these 'port studies' examine the type of workers who dominated dock labour, their race, class and ethnicity, the working conditions of dockers and the role of government as employer, arbitrator and supporter. The studies also detail how dockers organized their labour, patterns of strike action and involvement in political organizations. The structure of the port city is also outlined and descriptions given of the waterside environment. These areas of investigation form the basis for a series of 11 thematic studies which comprise Volume 2. Drawing on the information provided in the port studies, these essays identify important aspects and recurring themes, and explain how and why particular cases diverge from the rest. The final chapter of the book synthesizes the various approaches taken to offer a model which suggests several configurations of dock labour and presents suggestions for future research. This major scholarly achievement represents the most sustained attempt to date to provide a comparative international history of dock labour. An annotated bibliography completes this essential reference work.

Invisible Insanity

A Social History of Mental Illness

By: John Deadman,Sam Sussman,David Streiner

From the frontlines of the fight for dignity and appropriate treatment for those struggling with mental health challenges, John Deadman, Sam Sussman, and David Streiner offer a social history of mental illness in Canada and the world that is rich in research, personal experience, scientific knowledge, and challenging truths. Reaching back to ancient times, the authors trace the story of mental health treatment and connect past events to the eventual policy of deinstitutionalization in Canada. As eyewitnesses to the painful fallout of deinstitutionalization, the authors are well-positioned to describe the results of this policy, particularly for the severely mentally ill: incarceration, homelessness, and helplessness. The shocking visibility of these challenges has led to calls for action, but major social institutions, such as government and religious organizations, have been unable to provide lasting solutions. Invisible Insanity: A Social History of Mental Illness in Canada and the World will appeal to mental health professionals, those who suffer from mental illness, family and friends of those who suffer, and members of society as a whole. It’s an issue that touches all of us in some way, and the authors will inspire readers to advocate for comprehensive care that meets the needs of patients and treats them with the dignity and professionalism they deserve.

Doctor Quintard, Chaplain C.S.A. and Second Bishop of Tennessee

The Memoir and Civil War Diary of Charles Todd Quintard

By: Sam Davis Elliott

Trained as a physician and ordained an Episcopal priest, Charles Todd Quintard (1824--1898) was a remarkable man by the standard of any generation. Born, raised, and educated in the North, he migrated to the South to pursue a medical career but was inspired by the bishop of Tennessee to serve the church. When Tennessee seceded from the Union in May 1861, Quintard joined the Confederate 1st Tennessee Infantry Regiment as its chaplain and during the maelstrom of the Civil War kept a diary of his experiences. He later penned a memoir, which was published posthumously in 1905. Sam Davis Elliott combines a previously unpublished portion of the diary with Quintard's memoir in Doctor Quintard, Chaplain C.S.A. and Second Bishop of Tennessee. Quintard offers an unusual perspective and insightful observations gained from ministering to soldiers and civilians as both a priest and a physician. With thoughtful editing and annotating, Quintard's writings provide a valuable window into the high command of the Army of Tennessee at some of its more critical junctures and substantial detail of the last eight months of the war in Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. Quintard was present during the early fighting in Virginia, marched into Kentucky with Braxton Bragg, attended to the wounded at Murfreesboro and Chickamauga, witnessed two Confederate retreats from Middle Tennessee, and watched the Federal armies overrun the Deep South in the spring of 1865. He met such diverse personages as Robert E. Lee and Federal Major General James H. Wilson; prayed with Bragg, Leonidas Polk, and John Bell Hood; shared a bed once with Nathan Bedford Forrest; and performed the sad duty of conducting the funerals of Patrick Cleburne and others killed at Franklin, Tennessee. Throughout his military service, he organized hospitals and relief efforts, filled in as a parish priest, and served as chaplain at large of the Army of Tennessee. After the war, Quintard became the prime mover in the revival of Leonidas Polk's dream of an Episcopal Church--sponsored University of the South, and in 1865 he was consecrated bishop of Tennessee, a position he held until his death. These interesting and lively war-year remembrances of one of the Confederacy's most exceptional characters shed new light on the little-known western theater's military, civilian, and religious fronts.

The Politics of Dating Apps

Gender, Sexuality, and Emergent Publics in Urban China

By: Lik Sam Chan

An examination of dating app culture in China, across user demographics--straight women, straight men, queer women, and queer men. In this exploration of dating app culture in China, Lik Sam Chan argues that these popular mobile apps are not merely a platform for personal relationships but also an emerging arena for gender and queer politics. Chan examines the opportunities dating apps present for women's empowerment and men's performances of masculinity, and he links experiences of queer dating app users with their vulnerable position as sexual minorities. He finds that dating apps are both portals to an exciting virtual world of relational possibilities and sites of power dynamics that reflect the heteronormativity and patriarchy of Chinese society.

British and Canadian Evangelicals in an Age of Self-Spirituality

Caught in the Current

British and Canadian Evangelicals in an Age of Self-Spirituality

By: Sam Reimer

Evangelical Christianity is known for its defence of traditional Christian teachings and resistance to liberalizing trends. Many Western evangelicals themselves do not yet realize how their faith is being reshaped by the modern zeitgeist. Caught in the Current explores how and why Western evangelicals are changing. Church attendance is declining, conservative moral positions are unpopular, and young people are drifting away from the faith. Evangelism is avoided, so few are joining congregations. Yet these surface changes are only symptoms of a more profound shift that church leaders have not fully apprehended. Drawing upon 125 interviews with British and Canadian clergy and active laity, Sam Reimer argues that evangelicals have been deeply influenced by a post-Christian culture that has rejected institutional religious authority and embraced self-spirituality. As individual evangelicals struggle to navigate these waters, and to distance themselves from politicized evangelicalism in the United States, they are caught between conformity and resistance, between faithfulness to church moral teachings and accommodation of secular values. Many are responding by turning inward to define their Christian beliefs for themselves. The ironic result is that the decline of institutional religious authority is not happening just in Western culture, but within evangelical churches as well. Caught in the Current is an insightful and nuanced assessment of how British and Canadian evangelicals are navigating a post-Christian culture, often in ways that are distinct from how their counterparts in the United States approach it.

The Martel Band of Opelousas witnessed a legal public hanging of a convicted serial murderer in 1923 Evangeline Parish. Trumpeter Evan Thomas of Crowley could have been a rival to Satchmo but was cut down on the bandstand in the Promised Land neighborhood of Rayne, La.

Unto All the Nations

No preacher before him had used the mass media to such advantage. No preacher before or after him has delivered the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ to so many. Billy Graham, who has preached in person in more than eighty nations to more than 110 million people, has reached hundreds of millions more through radio and television. Yet since his first outdoor meeting in 1949, the focus of this extraordinary North Carolina-born evangelist has remained the same: to proclaim the Christian faith to nonbelievers. Unquestionably regarded as one of the leading Christian figures of his generation, Billy Graham has become a friend to presidents, but more importantly, a messenger of hope to the lost.
