Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explosive! Amazing! Terrifying! You won’t believe your eyes! Such movie taglines were common in the 1950s, as Hollywood churned out a variety of low-budget pictures that were sold on the basis of their sensational content and topicality. While a few of these movies have since become canonized by film fans and critics, a number of the era’s biggest fads have now faded into obscurity. The Cool and the Crazy examines seven of these film cycles, including short-lived trends like boxing movies, war pictures, and social problem films detailing the sordid and violent life of teenagers, as well as uniquely 1950s takes on established genres like the gangster picture. Peter Stanfield reveals how Hollywood sought to capitalize upon current events, moral panics, and popular fads, making movies that were “ripped from the headlines” on everything from the Korean War to rock and roll. As he offers careful readings of several key films, he also considers the broader historical and commercial contexts in which these films were produced, marketed, and exhibited. In the process, Stanfield uncovers surprising synergies between Hollywood and other arenas of popular culture, like the ways that the fashion trend for blue jeans influenced the 1950s Western. Delivering sharp critical insights in jazzy, accessible prose, The Cool and the Crazy offers an appreciation of cinema as a “pop” medium, unabashedly derivative, faddish, and ephemeral. By studying these long-burst bubbles of 1950s “pop,” Stanfield reveals something new about what films do and the pleasures they provide.

Book excerpt: Vinny Guadagnino, star of Jersey Shore, discusses his lifelong struggle to control the effects of social anxiety and stress, and teaches readers the tools and techniques he's used to stay calm and maintain his sanity in all types of crazy situations--both on and off the show. For more than a decade Vinny has been keeping a secret from his family, his friends, his castmates, and his fans: the fact that he's not as carefree and stress-free as he appears. Vinny suffers from panic attacks that strike without warning. They plagued him throughout his teens, forced him to move home from college, and tormented him during the first season of Jersey Shore. After fleeing the set during the filming of the fifth season of the show, Vinny realized he could no longer keep his problems to himself. It was time to speak out. In this book, Vinny discusses how he's confronted his demons head on, and he gives readers the tools to do so themselves. For the millions of his fans who are also feeling overwhelmed with the world around them and by their own thoughts, Vinny offers a practical plan for taking control of your life, your body, and your mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to Pop art scholarship through a recuperation of popular music into art historical understandings of the movement. Jukebox modernism is a procedure by which Pop artists used popular music within their works to disrupt decorous modernism during the sixties. Artists, including Peter Blake, Pauline Boty, James Rosenquist, and Andy Warhol, respond to popular music for reasons such as its emotional connectivity, issues of fandom and identity, and the pleasures and problems of looking and listening to an artwork. When we both look at and listen to Pop art, essential aspects of Pop’s history that have been neglected—its sounds, its women, its queerness, and its black subjects—come into focus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American International Pictures was in many ways the "missing link" between big-budget Hollywood studios, "poverty-row" B-movie factories and low-rent exploitation movie distributors. AIP first targeted teen audiences with science fiction, horror and fantasy, but soon grew to encompass many genres and demographics--at times, it was indistinguishable from many of the "major" studios. From Abby to Zontar, this filmography lists more than 800 feature films, television series and TV specials by AIP and its partners and subsidiaries. Special attention is given to American International Television (the TV arm of AIP) and an appendix lists the complete AITV catalog. The author also discusses films produced by founders James H. Nicholson and Samuel Z. Arkoff after they left the company.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of Jazz explores how the expressionism and spontaneity of jazz spilled onto its album art, posters, and promotional photography, and even inspired standalone works of fine art. Everyone knows jazz is on the cutting edge of music, but how much do you know about its influence in the visual arts? With album covers that took inspiration from the avant-garde, jazz's primarily African American musicians and their producers sought to challenge and inspire listeners both musically and visually. Arranged chronologically, each chapter covers a key period in jazz history, from the earliest days of the twentieth century to today's postmodern jazz. Chapters begin with substantive introductions and present the evolution of jazz imagery in all its forms, mirroring the shifting nature of the music itself. With two authoritative features per chapter and over 300 images, The Art of Jazz is a significant contribution to the literature of this intrepid art form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dana McAllister couldn’t help wishing she was starting her sophomore year in the old brick high school in Boston instead of in this modern, new school. Nothing seemed quite right to Dana since Dad’s company transferred him, and the family had moved to California. The new house was different, the town was different, even the trees were different. Most of all, her older brother, Bill, seemed different. Back in Boston, Bill was a star athlete, a top student, the most popular boy in school. Now, Dad was putting pressure on Bill to fill out his college applications, to join the soccer team, to excel in his studies. But Bill, who was entering his senior year, was silent most of the time and seemed troubled and withdrawn. The kids at school all seemed nice enough. There was Ian, an amateur photographer who took pictures of weirdos for his scrapbook of “California Characters.” There was Sheila, who could have been good-looking if she weren’t always such a mess. There was Joannie, the pretty blond cheerleader who was only interested in having a good time. And there was Eric, the blue-eyed, suntanned surfer whose brilliant smile sent shivers of pleasure up Dana’s back. For a while, Dana thought things were looking up. She fitted in easily with the “in” crowd and, at the school dance, Eric spun her around the floor. But Dana couldn’t help worrying about Bill. Especially after she’d stopped in his room one night and Bill told her about the voices he heard, about the way he could see his name “B-I-L-L” spelled out in the stars, about eating oranges to keep himself from turning blue. What was wrong with Bill? Why was he acting so weird? Then came the fateful night when things got out of control. Bill looked wild and frightened. “Help me!” he pleaded with Dana. But there was nothing she could do except stand by helplessly as hospital attendants took her brother away. Heartbroken and confused, Dana found herself torn between her love for her brother, concern for her bewildered parents, and worry about herself. How would people treat someone whose brother was diagnosed as a schizophrenic? Would Ian want a picture of Bill for his “crazy” album? How would perfect Joannie and handsome Eric react? Would Sheila remain her friend? How could she face going through life as the girl with the crazy brother?

Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of A Field of Darkness comes another compelling novel featuring the acerbic and memorable voice of ex-debutante Madeline Dare. Madeline Dare has finally escaped rust-belt Syracuse, New York, for the lush Berkshire Mountains in Massachusetts. After her husband's job offer falls through, Maddie signs on as a teacher at the Santangelo Academy, a boarding school for disturbed teenagers. Behind the academy's ornate gates, she discovers a disturbing realm where students and teachers alike must submit to the founder's bizarre therapeutic regimen. From day one, Maddie feels uneasy about smooth-talking Dr. Santangelo but when she questions his methods, she's appalled to find that her fellow teachers would rather turn on each other than stand up for themselves, much less protect the students in their care. A chilling event confirms Maddie's worst suspicions, then hints at an even darker secret history, one that twines through the academy's very heart. Cut off from the outside world, Maddie must join forces with a small band of the school's most violently rebellious students-kids whose troubled grip on reality may well prove to be her only chance of salvation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Crazy Quilt of Life goes back in time to chronicle life on the prairie as Lida Beaty-Jackson shares her vivid memories and experiences in her diary. She shares the pain and struggles of the journey west to a new home and new opportunities. Her unique and diverse neighbors are active players in a strong midwestern community. The charm and joy of their holiday celebrations in the late 1800s is set against the backdrop of the dangers of living on the prairie. This memoir provides a unique opportunity to experience life in the late 1880s through Lida Beaty-Jackson's personal writing. It offers an honest view of life in those days and allows us to appreciate how far our society has come in the last one hundred years in terms of technology and comfort. Lida's diary shows how much more difficult it was to eat, rest, stay healthy, and be safe from the elements in her time. They were able to find joy in the little things things that we in the present so often overlook. The Crazy Quilt of Life also includes intriguing ancestral information about Lida and her family the real lives of real people. The quilt pictured on the cover was sewn together by the author herself, Lida Beaty-Jackson, her mother, and her sister Minnie Elizabeth. The quilt remains in the care of Margaret Ann Parker today.

Book excerpt: From a prize-winning poet, a new collection that chronicles a weekend in the life of a group of friends coming of age in East Harlem at the dawn of the hip-hop era Willie Perdomo, a native of East Harlem, has won praise as a hip, playful, historically engaged poet whose restlessly lyrical language mixes "city life with a sense of the transcendent" (NPR.org). In his fourth collection, The Crazy Bunch, Perdomo returns to his beloved neighborhood to create a vivid, kaleidoscopic portrait of a "crew" coming of age in East Harlem at the beginning of the 1990s. In poems written in couplets, vignettes, sketches, riffs, and dialogue, Perdomo recreates a weekend where surviving members of the crew recall a series of tragic events: "That was the summer we all tried to fly. All but one of us succeeded."
