Book Synopsis Death Blow to Jim Crow by : Erik S. Gellman
Download or read book Death Blow to Jim Crow written by Erik S. Gellman and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Great Depression, black intellectuals, labor organizers, and artists formed the National Negro Congress (NNC) to demand a "second emancipation" in America. Over the next decade, the NNC and its offshoot, the Southern Negro Youth Congress, sought to coordinate and catalyze local antiracist activism into a national movement to undermine the Jim Crow system of racial and economic exploitation. In this pioneering study, Erik S. Gellman shows how the NNC agitated for the first-class citizenship of African Americans and all members of the working class, establishing civil rights as necessary for reinvigorating American democracy. Much more than just a precursor to the 1960s civil rights movement, this activism created the most militant interracial freedom movement since Reconstruction, one that sought to empower the American labor movement to make demands on industrialists, white supremacists, and the state as never before. By focusing on the complex alliances between unions, civic groups, and the Communist Party in five geographic regions, Gellman explains how the NNC and its allies developed and implemented creative grassroots strategies to weaken Jim Crow, if not deal it the "death blow" they sought.

Book Synopsis The Making of Star Wars (Enhanced Edition) by : J. W. Rinzler
Download or read book The Making of Star Wars (Enhanced Edition) written by J. W. Rinzler and published by Ballantine Group. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This enhanced eBook transforms The Making of Star Wars into an immersive multimedia experience worthy of the original film. It features exclusive content pulled from the Lucasfilm archives by author J. W. Rinzler: • 26 minutes of rare behind-the-scenes video* • 29 minutes of rare audio interviews with the cast and crew • New bonus photos and artwork not found in the print edition After the 1973 success of American Graffiti, filmmaker George Lucas made the fateful decision to pursue a longtime dream project: a space fantasy movie unlike any ever produced. Lucas envisioned a swashbuckling SF saga inspired by the Flash Gordon serials, classic American westerns, the epic cinema of Japanese auteur Akira Kurosawa, and mythological heroes. Its original title: The Star Wars. The rest is history, and how it was made is a story as entertaining and exciting as the movie that has enthralled millions for more than thirty years—a story that has never been told as it was meant to be. Until now. Using his unprecedented access to the Lucasfilm Archives and its trove of “lost” interviews, photos, production notes, factoids, and anecdotes, Star Wars scholar J. W. Rinzler hurtles readers back in time for a one-of-a-kind behind-the-scenes look at the nearly decade-long quest of George Lucas and his key collaborators to make the “little” movie that became a phenomenon. It’s all here: • the evolution of the now-classic story and characters—including “Annikin Starkiller” and “a huge green-skinned monster with no nose and large gills” named Han Solo • excerpts from George Lucas’s numerous, ever-morphing script drafts • the birth of Industrial Light & Magic, the special-effects company that revolutionized Hollywood filmmaking • the studio-hopping and budget battles that nearly scuttled the entire project • the director’s early casting saga, which might have led to a film spoken mostly in Japanese—including the intensive auditions that won the cast members their roles and made them legends • the grueling, nearly catastrophic location shoot in Tunisia and the subsequent breakneck dash at Elstree Studios in London • the who’s who of young film rebels who pitched in to help—including Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, and Brian DePalma But perhaps most exciting, and rarest of all, are the interviews conducted before and during production and immediately after the release of Star Wars—in which George Lucas, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Sir Alec Guinness, Anthony Daniels, composer John Williams, effects masters Dennis Muren, Richard Edlund, and John Dykstra, Phil Tippett, Rick Baker, legendary production designer John Barry, and a host of others share their fascinating tales from the trenches and candid opinions of the film that would ultimately change their lives. No matter how you view the spectrum of this phenomenon, The Making of Star Wars stands as a crucial document—rich in fascination and revelation—of a genuine cinematic and cultural touchstone. *Video may not play on all readers.

Book Synopsis The Death-Blow to Spiritualism - Being the True Story of the Fox Sisters by : Reuben Briggs Davenport
Download or read book The Death-Blow to Spiritualism - Being the True Story of the Fox Sisters written by Reuben Briggs Davenport and published by . This book was released on 2023-04-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been written in extreme haste. It does not pretend to literary style. But it pretends to absolute truthfulness and a reverent regard for justice. Its sole value is its character as a contribution to the real history of Spiritualism. As such, it is unquestionably of great importance, greater even than any work of the kind that has been published since the beginning of modern Spiritualism. It is, in fact, what its title sets forth-"THE DEATH-BLOW TO SPIRITUALISM." No one who does not love illusion for illusion's sake-better, in other words, than he loves the truth-can, after reading this volume, remain a follower of Spiritualism and its hypocritical apostles.
Book Synopsis The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death by : Corinne May Botz
Download or read book The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death written by Corinne May Botz and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2004-09-28 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death offers readers an extraordinary glimpse into the mind of a master criminal investigator. Frances Glessner Lee, a wealthy grandmother, founded the Department of Legal Medicine at Harvard in 1936 and was later appointed captain in the New Hampshire police. In the 1940s and 1950s she built dollhouse crime scenes based on real cases in order to train detectives to assess visual evidence. Still used in forensic training today, the eighteen Nutshell dioramas, on a scale of 1:12, display an astounding level of detail: pencils write, window shades move, whistles blow, and clues to the crimes are revealed to those who study the scenes carefully. Corinne May Botz's lush color photographs lure viewers into every crevice of Frances Lee's models and breathe life into these deadly miniatures, which present the dark side of domestic life, unveiling tales of prostitution, alcoholism, and adultery. The accompanying line drawings, specially prepared for this volume, highlight the noteworthy forensic evidence in each case. Botz's introductory essay, which draws on archival research and interviews with Lee's family and police colleagues, presents a captivating portrait of Lee.

Book Synopsis Death Blow to the Dad Bod by : Craig James
Download or read book Death Blow to the Dad Bod written by Craig James and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-28 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your Dad Bod is a Problem... You Are The Solution I know. This is a hard truth to hear. After all, it's not like you set out to have a body you're less than satisfied with. Yet, here you are. You got married; had kids. Your responsibilities rapidly stockpiled. Caring for your body was snuffed out by your responsibility to care for the lives of others. These are noble intentions, to be sure, but even the most noble intentions can lead to very regrettable consequences. The consequences of your actions (and inaction) have now become impossible to ignore. The days, weeks, months and years have gone by. Your body fat slowly climbed, your muscles have deteriorated, you've slid into a state of complacency, and you feel like a fraction of the man you once were. Death Blow to the Dad Bod is the solution for taking ownership over the mediocrity you're displaying to the world with your body. You will learn exactly what to do to get a lean, strong, masculine physique: What to eat How much to eat When to eat it How to train your body to shed fat and build muscle simultaneously When to perform cardio and weights for maximum effectiveness How to apply the most important training principle every time you train How to track your results What to do to eliminate any fat loss plateau And more... I get it. You feel like you've heard all this before. I'm not going to tell your itching ears what they want to hear for the sake of selling more copies of my book. I believe a man's reputation is worth more than any amount of money. So, here's the 100% honest truth. This system will work for every man who is willing to commit to following the instructions it provides. You put in the work, and you'll get the results you're after. That's my promise to you. The other promise I will give you is the promise that what I'm offering you won't be easy. I realize this doesn't help to sell books, but it's the truth. Anybody selling you on the idea that building a body you can be proud of is easy is being dishonest. If you embark on this mission it will likely be one of the most difficult things you've ever committed to. I've broken the process down into a very simple and easy to follow action plan. It's the day-to-day decision to feed your body and train it for success that will test how genuine your desire for change truly is. Finally, I will promise you that the end result is well worth every bit of sacrifice it takes to earn it. I've yet to have any man approach me after destroying his dad bod to tell me that it was a poor decision. Every single one of them would do it again without any hesitation. Until you've tasted life on the other side it's impossible to comprehend how profound the difference truly is. No amount of words can do it justice. What I'm offering you right now is the opportunity to experience it for yourself. Are you ready to see what's possible?
