Ultra-Talk: Johnny Cash, the Mafia, Shakespeare, Drum Music, St. Teresa of Avila, and 17 Other Colossal Topics of Conversation
ISBN: 9780820329093 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In "Ultra-Talk," David Kirby poses a simple question: What makes a cultural phenomenon truly great? Exploring a wide variety of "king-sized cultural monuments," Kirby argues that one qualification for greatness is that a phenomenon be embraced by both the elite and the general public. Further, he argues, it must be embraced repeatedly over time. Kirby turns his critical eye to subjects that have been studied and written about, sought after avidly, discussed passionately, and even resisted vigorously around the world. Auto racing, Dante, folk music, food, Leonardo da Vinci, films, poetry,... In "Ultra-Talk," David Kirby poses a simple question: What makes a cultural phenomenon truly great?

Evidence of Harm: Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: A Medical Controversy
ISBN: 9780312326456 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In the 1990s reported autism cases among American children began spiking, from about 1 in 10,000 in 1987 to a shocking 1 in 166 today. This trend coincided with the addition of several new shots to the nation's already crowded vaccination schedule, grouped together and given soon after birth or in the early months of infancy. Most of these shots contained a little-known preservative called thimerosal, which includes a quantity of the toxin mercury. Evidence of Harm explores the heated controversy over what many parents, physicians, public officials, and educators have called...

A Concise History of Finland
ISBN: 9780521539890 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Few countries in Europe have undergone such rapid social, political and economic changes as Finland has during the last fifty years. David Kirby here sets out the fascinating history of this northern country, for centuries on the east-west divide of Europe, a country not blessed by nature, most of whose inhabitants still earned a living from farming fifty years ago, but which today is one of the most prosperous members of the European Union. He shows how this small country was able not only to survive in peace and war but also to preserve and develop its own highly distinctive identity,...

Talking about Movies with Jesus: Poems
ISBN: 9780807137727 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Celebrated poet David Kirby says that when he was a boy he wanted to run away and join the circus but never found one he liked, so he invented his own. Many of the poems in his dazzling new collection, Talking about Movies with Jesus, suggest his personal carnival is still a work in progress. Much like a traveling circus, Kirby's poems are defined equally by their transient nature and by their destination. The poem "The Phantom Empire" -- which features Gene Autry repeatedly having to escape from a fictional city 20,000 feet underground in order to make it back home in time to voice his...

The Ha-Ha: Poems
ISBN: 9780807128947 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 55 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) A feature of English landscape architecture, a ha-ha is a wall at the bottom of a ditch; its purpose is to allow the presence of cows and sheep on one's lawn, but at an agreeable distance and with none of the malodorous unsightliness that proximity would bring. Similarly, The Ha-Ha, the latest offering from poet David Kirby, is both an exploration of the ways in which the mind invites chaos yet keeps it at a distance and an apologia for humor, reflecting Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh's observation that tragedy is merely underdeveloped comedy. Embracing wit, wide-ranging scholarship, and an...

Get Up, Please: Poems
ISBN: 9780807162903 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In comical and complex poems, David Kirby examines our extraordinarily human condition through the lens of our ordinary daily lives. These keenly observant poems range from the streets of India, Russia, Turkey, and Port Arthur, Texas, to the imaginations of fellow poets Keats and Rilke, and to ruminations on the mundane side of life via the imperfect sandwich. Whether remembering girls' singing groups of the 1950s or recounting a child asking his priest if his dog would go to heaven, Kirby has the ability to make us laugh, but he can also bring us to tears through our laughter.

Little Richard
ISBN: 9780826429650 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A brilliant new biography of the extraordinary, outrageous performer who helped open the floodgates of Rock 'n' Roll. In June, 2007, Little Richard's 1955 Specialty Records single, "Tutti Frutti," topped Mojo magazine's list of "100 Records That Changed the World." But back in the early 1950s, nobody gave Little Richard a second glance. It was a time in America where the black and white worlds had co-existed separately for nearly two centuries. After "Tutti Frutti," Little Richard began garnering fans from both sides of the civil rights divide. He brought black and white youngsters together...

What is a Book?
ISBN: 9780820324784 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In What Is a Book? David Kirby addresses the making and consuming of literature by redefining the four components of the act of reading: writer, reader, critic, and book. He discusses his students, his work, and his practice as a teacher, writer, critic, and reader, and positions his theories and opinions as products of "real" life as much as academic exercise. Among the ideas animating the book are Kirby's beliefs that "devotion is more important than dissection" and "practice is more important than theory." Covering an impressive range of writers--from Emerson, Poe, and... In What Is a Book?

Lab Coats in Hollywood: Science, Scientists, and Cinema
ISBN: 9780262518703 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, released in 1968, is perhaps the most scientifically accurate film ever produced. The film presented such a plausible, realistic vision of space flight that many moon hoax proponents believe that Kubrick staged the 1969 moon landing using the same studios and techniques. Kubrick's scientific verisimilitude in 2001 came courtesy of his science consultants -- including two former NASA scientists -- and the more than sixty-five companies, research organizations, and government agencies that offered technical advice. Although most... Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, released in 1968, is perhaps the most scientifically accurate film ever produced. The film present... |
