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.

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...

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...

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...

Alan Rudolph\'s Trouble in Mind: Tampering with Myths
ISBN: 9780472039395 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Despite a career spanning over forty years, filmmaker Alan Rudolph has flown largely under the radar of independent film scholars and enthusiasts, often remembered as Robert Altman’s protege. Through a reading of his 1985 film Trouble in Mind, Caryl Flinn demonstrates that Rudolph is long overdue for critical re-evaluation. Exploring Trouble in Mind’s influence on indie filmmaking, Rudolph’s dream-like style, and the external political influences of the Reagan era, Flinn effectively conveys the originality of Rudolph’s work through this multifaceted film. Utilizing archival materials...

Just a poor guy working an after-school job at a South Beach shoe repair shop to help his mom make ends meet. But a little magic changed it all. It all started with the curse. And the frognapping. And one hot-looking princess, who asked me to lead a rescue mission. There wasn't a fairy godmother or any of that. And even though I fell in love along the way, what happened to me is unlike any fairy tale I've ever heard. Because before I knew it, I was spying with a flock of enchanted swans, talking (yes, talking )... I'm not your average hero. I actually wasn't your average anything.
