Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a unique story of the superhero genre, as it attempts to create an origin of superheros and their superhuman powers. It also gives a rare look into the, often depressing and neurotic, lives of superheroes. This is the story of Wallace Duffy, a simpleton, an introvert, and a wimp. Wally is certainly not the kind of person the neighbors would suspect is a superhero. Wally's teen years are something he would prefer to forget. He was the target of ridicule ever since his late grandfather told Wally's friends that he and Wally were superheroes by ancestry. His adult years did not seem to be much of an improvement. They were filled with heartbreak due to his inability to express himself romantically to Chloe Spade, the love of his life. That was now about to change, ever since he discovered that his grandfather was not just a senile old man. Everything the old codger said was true."--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Visions of Yesterday written by Jeffrey Richards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Film is an important source of social history, as well as having been a popular art form from the early twentieth century. This study shows how a society, consciously or unconsciously, is mirrored in its cinema. It considers the role of the cinema in dramatizing popular beliefs and myths, and takes three case studies – American populism, British imperialism, German Nazism – to explain how a nation’s pressures, tensions and hopes come through in its films. Examining the American cinema is accomplished by analysing the careers of three great directors, John Ford, Frank Capra and Leo McCarey, while the British and German cinemas are studied by theme. The analysis of the British Empire as seen in film broke exciting new ground with a pioneering account of ‘the cinema of Empire’ when it was first published in 1973. With full filmographies and a carefully selected bibliography it is an outstanding work of reference and its lively approach makes it a delight to read. Reviews of the original edition: ‘A work of considerable force and considerable wit.’ – Clive James, Observer ‘...a work that is original, mentally stimulating and most pleasurable to read.’ – Focus on Film

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current characters in children’s entertainment media illustrate a growing trend of representations that challenge or subvert traditional notions of gender and sexuality. From films to picture books to animated television series, children’s entertainment media around the world has consistently depicted stereotypically traditional gender roles and heterosexual relationships as the normal way that people act and engage with one another. Heroes, Heroines, and Everything in Between: Challenging Gender and Sexuality Stereotypes in Children's Entertainment Media examines how this media ecology now includes a presence for nonheteronormative genders and sexualities. It considers representations of such identities in various media products (e.g., comic books, television shows, animated films, films, children’s literature) meant for children (e.g., toddlers to teenagers). The contributors seek to identify and understand characterizations that go beyond these traditional understandings of gender and sexuality. By doing so, they explore these nontraditional representations and consider what they say about the current state of children’s entertainment media, popular culture, and global acceptance of these gender identities and sexualities.
