Penfield Prep: A Satirical Novel
ISBN: 9781439215333 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 554 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Hypatia Hogan is driven to New Hampshire by her father, Mick, in his broken-down Rambler for a job interview at Penfield Prep, almost convinced that she will not get the position because her father had just told her that he had mailed a newspaper clipping with her resume describing a near riot recently when she was chosen Miss Hudson County over some local favorites. Little did she know that the headmaster and English Department Chair had their fingers crossed that she won't turn down the job as 47 others had after they learned that the opening had been created because the last teacher was...

Freedom of Information : Open Access, Empty Archives?
ISBN: 9781857434200 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act has been broadly welcomed by contemporary British historians as a means of increasing access to public records within the thirty-year rule. But the benefits of this formal commitment to open government are untested, and experiences in other countries with FOI or Access to Information legislation have raised a number of shared problems and concerns. These problems are common among countries with FOI legislation. But there has been very little discussion among historians and archivists internationally about dealing with these issues as well as...

The New German Cinema: Music, History, and the Matter of Style
ISBN: 9780520238237 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When New German cinema directors like R. W. Fassbinder, Ulrike Ottinger, and Werner Schroeter explored issues of identity--national, political, personal, and sexual--music and film style played crucial roles. Most studies of the celebrated film movement, however, have sidestepped the role of music, a curious oversight given its importance to German culture and nation formation. Caryl Flinn's study reverses this trend, identifying styles of historical remembrance in which music participates. Flinn concentrates on those styles that urge listeners to interact with difference--including that...

ISBN: 9781490834320 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The sound of a massive drum was the first thing I noticed, when Juliet and I stepped out of the compact car. Each time the confident student struck the drum, the students that were lined up in neat rows facing him would expertly stand at attention then relax into the at-ease stance. With their little heads locked in position to face forward, only their curious eyes darted to appraise us, as we walked past them in flowing salwars toward their principal who stood waiting to greet us. We were the invited guests to teach in their school. And it was very apparent by the radiant smiles on the...

Brass Diva: The Life and Legends of Ethel Merman
ISBN: 9780520260221 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Broadway star Ethel Merman's voice was a mesmerizing force and her vitality was legendary, yet the popular perception of La Merm as the irrepressible wonder falls far short of all that she was and all that she meant to Americans over so many decades. This marvelously detailed biography is the first to tell the full story of how the stenographer from Queens, New York, became the queen of the Broadway musical in its golden age. Mining official and unofficial sources, including interviews with Merman's family and her personal scrapbooks, Caryl Flinn unearths new details of Merman's life and...

The Mexican Stand-In: Innocence Re-Crucified
ISBN: 9781532724237 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 486 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Set against a Mexican backdrop of drug cartels, corrupt politics and police, suppressed indigenes and Spanish colonists, The Mexican Stand-In is a dynamic re-imagining of the life of a modern-day Jesus. Its author, Togol O'Flinn, has cleverly created a 21st century equivalent (in many ways) of the Roman/Jewish Palestine of 2000 years ago; with its class structures, wealth hierarchy, its fusion of different languages, cultures and traditions and religion. The well-written story uses many references and details from the New Testament alongside imagination to fill in details of His birth, youth...

The Love Chateau and Other Stories
ISBN: 9781456328993 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Love Chateau is the story of a Shangri-La for lovers. It is preceded by seven different kinds of love stories, not easy to categorize because most of the principal characters are not usually thought of as lovers, although the warmth we associate with love is there, wearing different clothes. Here the reader will also find stories of social comment, mystery, magical realism, and, most of all, humor. One finds humor in the tale of the Irishman who did not believe in baths but used Vicks VapoRub instead of soap, the adventures of the inventors of sperm necklaces and the locksmith who...
