This book was released on 2017-03-29 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drop into The Bone-God’s Lair and take a walk on the Wild Side! Here is premier horror-sci-fi writer A. R. Morlan's introduction to some of Pop Culture's most famous (and infamous) practitioners, from Marilyn Monroe’s poignant farewell in "The Sweet End of the Lollipop," to Andy Warhol’s wandering spirit in Norm Littman's 15 Minutes, and Jim Morrison's incorruptible presence in "He's Hot, He's Sexy, He's..." Morlan captures the essence of each cause celebre, including a few monsters thrown in for good measure: H. P. Lovecraft's Dunwich Horror monster, in "Taking Down the Book of the Rough Beast" and Adolph Hitler in "The Gemütlichkeit Escape." Toss in a sci-fi classic "The Time-Vacation Trilogy," and you have the recipe for imaginative writing at its best.

Download or read book The Infamous Cherry Sisters written by Darryl W. Bullock and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-01-07 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raised in poverty on an Iowa farm, the Cherry Sisters had little education and no training. But they possessed a burning desire to take to the stage and show the world what they could do--and what they could do was awful. Their unique act was "so bad it was good." When the sisters took the stage, they were met with rotten fruit and vegetables, festering meat, dead cats... Riots often broke out after (and sometimes during) their concerts, but they carried on, changing attitudes--and laws--along the way. This book follows the five women through their forty-year career in vaudeville theaters across the U.S. Proud, fearless and fiercely independent in a time when women were treated as second-class citizens, the Cherry Sisters insisted that their voices be heard.

Download or read book Radical written by Nicholas von Hoffman and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2010-06-29 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Left to Right, one man has influenced them all: Saul Alinsky. Radical is a personal portrait of this controversial mastermind of popular movements, a man who is often called the American Machiavelli. The tactics and strategy of Alinsky, who died in 1972, have been studied by people as diverse as Barack Obama, Cesar Chavez, Hillary Clinton, Dick Armey, the Tea Partiers, and activists and organizers of every persuasion. Thousands of organizations around the country owe their inspiration and origins to Alinsky -- who is to community organizing what Freud is to psychoanalysis. As told by his friend and proté Nicholas von Hoffman, whom Alinsky dubbed "in all the world my favorite, drinking, talking, and thinking companion," Radical is an intimate look at the man who made a career of arming the powerless and enraging the powerful. From Alinsky's smuggling guinea pigs into the Joliet state penitentiary to the famous Buffalo fart-in. von Hoffman's book reveals the humor as well as the ideals and anger that drove Alinsky to become a major figure in a democratic tradition dating back to Tom Paine. Many of the stories about politicians, bishops, gangsters, millionaires, and labor leaders, which Alinsky did not want made public in his lifetime, are told here for the first time in Radical. Von Hoffman captures Alinsky's brilliant critique of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s organizational tactics and where and why they succeeded or failed. It was a career that began in the politics and violence of the Great Depression and worked its way through the Communist threat, the racial struggles, and the Vietnam War protests of the second half of the twentieth century. The first book to explain why so many have co-opted Alinsky's ideas, and the first to explain why so many contemporary politicians misunderstand his message, Radical will become essential reading for anyone interested in American politics, past and present.

Download or read book Organizing Locally written by Bruce Fuller and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We love the local. From the cherries we buy, to the grocer who sells them, to the school where our child unpacks them for lunch, we express resurgent faith in decentralizing the institutions and businesses that arrange our daily lives. But the fact is that huge, bureaucratic organizations often still shape the character of our jobs, schools, the groceries where we shop, and even the hospitals we entrust with our lives. So how, exactly, can we work small, when everything around us is so big, so global and standardized? In Organizing Locally, Bruce Fuller shows us, taking stock of America’s rekindled commitment to localism across an illuminating range of sectors, unearthing the crucial values and practices of decentralized firms that work. Fuller first untangles the economic and cultural currents that have eroded the efficacy of—and our trust in—large institutions over the past half century. From there we meet intrepid leaders who have been doing things differently. Traveling from a charter school in San Francisco to a veterans service network in Iowa, from a Pennsylvania health-care firm to the Manhattan branch of a Swedish bank, he explores how creative managers have turned local staff loose to craft inventive practices, untethered from central rules and plain-vanilla routines. By holding their successes and failures up to the same analytical light, he vividly reveals the key cornerstones of social organization on which motivating and effective decentralization depends. Ultimately, he brings order and evidence to the often strident debates about who has the power—and on what scale—to structure how we work and live locally. Written for managers, policy makers, and reform activists, Organizing Locally details the profound decentering of work and life inside firms, unfolding across postindustrial societies. Its fresh theoretical framework explains resurging faith in decentralized organizations and the ingredients that deliver vibrant meaning and efficacy for residents inside. Ultimately, it is a synthesizing study, a courageous and radical new way of conceiving of American vitality, creativity, and ambition.

Download or read book Nymphs of the Pavement written by Richard Gurnham and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2014-05-05 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1842 the mayor of Lincoln reportedly lamented that ‘there is more debauchery in Lincoln than in any other town of its size in the kingdom.’ Lincoln races had long been a magnet for vice: by 1828, one newspaper reported up to 500 ‘thieves, prostitutes and gamblers’ on the course. But as the nineteenth century progressed, small market towns such as Louth and Horncastle and the little ports of Boston and Grimsby began to report growing numbers of ‘fallen women’ arriving from neighbouring villages where there was little work, and where many families faced severe poverty and malnutrition. This fascinating volume explores an extraordinary underworld of ‘unfortunates’, criminals, gamblers and bon vivants, all held in the thrall of the brothel-keepers – most of whom were female. Informative, tragic, compassionate and surprising, it reveals some incredible truths about life in Victorian Lincolnshire.

Book excerpt: Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, London was gripped by the supposed curse of Tutankhamun, whose tomb in the Luxor sands was uncovered in February 1923 by the British archaeologist Howard Carter. The site was plundered, and over the next few years more than twenty of those involved in the exhumation or in handling the contents of the tomb perished in strange and often terrifying circumstances, prompting the myth of the 'Curse of Tutankhamun'. Nowhere - particularly London's West End - appeared to be safe for those who had provoked the ire of the Egyptian death gods. A blend of meticulous research and educated conjecture, historian and screenwriter Mark Beynon turns armchair detective as he uncovers a wealth of hitherto unpublished material that lays bare the truth behind these fatalities. Could ' London's Curse' be attributed to the work of a macabre mastermind? It soon becomes apparent that these deaths were not only linked by the ominous presence of Tutankhamun himself, but also by a murderer hell-bent on retribution and dubbed by the press as 'The Wickedest Man in the World'.
