Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For the first time ever—a comprehensive biography of one of the twentieth century’s most innovative creative artists: the incomparable, irreplaceable Jim Henson He was a gentle dreamer whose genial bearded visage was recognized around the world, but most people got to know him only through the iconic characters born of his fertile imagination: Kermit the Frog, Bert and Ernie, Miss Piggy, Big Bird. The Muppets made Jim Henson a household name, but they were just part of his remarkable story. This extraordinary biography—written with the generous cooperation of the Henson family—covers the full arc of Henson’s all-too-brief life: from his childhood in Leland, Mississippi, through the years of burgeoning fame in America, to the decade of international celebrity that preceded his untimely death at age fifty-three. Drawing on hundreds of hours of new interviews with Henson's family, friends, and closest collaborators, as well as unprecedented access to private family and company archives, Brian Jay Jones explores the creation of the Muppets, Henson’s contributions to Sesame Street and Saturday Night Live, and his nearly ten-year campaign to bring The Muppet Show to television. Jones provides the imaginative context for Henson’s non-Muppet projects, including the richly imagined worlds of The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth—as well as fascinating misfires like Henson’s dream of opening an inflatable psychedelic nightclub. An uncommonly intimate portrait, Jim Henson captures all the facets of this American original: the master craftsman who revolutionized the presentation of puppets on television, the savvy businessman whose dealmaking prowess won him a reputation as “the new Walt Disney,” and the creative team leader whose collaborative ethos earned him the undying loyalty of everyone who worked for him. Here also is insight into Henson’s intensely private personal life: his Christian Science upbringing, his love of fast cars and expensive art, and his weakness for women. Though an optimist by nature, Henson was haunted by the notion that he would not have time to do all the things he wanted to do in life—a fear that his heartbreaking final hours would prove all too well founded. An up-close look at the charmed life of a legend, Jim Henson gives the full measure to a man whose joyful genius transcended age, language, geography, and culture—and continues to beguile audiences worldwide. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BOOKPAGE “Jim Henson vibrantly delves into the magnificent man and his Muppet methods: It’s an absolute must-read!”—Neil Patrick Harris “An exhaustive work that is never exhausting, a credit both to Jones’s brisk style and to Henson’s exceptional life.”—The New York Times “[A] sweeping portrait that is a mix of humor, mirth and poignancy.”—Washington Independent Review of Books “A meticulously researched tome chock-full of gems about the Muppets and the most thorough portrait of their creator ever crafted.”—Associated Press

Book Synopsis A Plague of Prisons by : Ernest Drucker
Download or read book A Plague of Prisons written by Ernest Drucker and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The public health expert and prison reform activist offers “meticulous analysis” on our criminal justice system and the plague of American incarceration (The Washington Post). An internationally recognized public health scholar, Ernest Drucker uses the tools of epidemiology to demonstrate that incarceration in the United States has become an epidemic—a plague upon our body politic. He argues that imprisonment, originally conceived as a response to the crimes of individuals, has become “mass incarceration”: a destabilizing force that damages the very social structures that prevent crime. Drucker tracks the phenomenon of mass incarceration using basic public health concepts—“incidence and prevalence,” “outbreaks,” “contagion,” “transmission,” “potential years of life lost.” The resulting analysis demonstrates that our unprecedented rates of incarceration have the contagious and self-perpetuating features of the plagues of previous centuries. Sure to provoke debate and shift the paradigm of how we think about punishment, A Plague of Prisons offers a novel perspective on criminal justice in twenty-first-century America. “How did America’s addiction to prisons and mass incarceration get its start and how did it spread from state to state? Of the many attempts to answer this question, none make as much sense as the explanation found in [this] book.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer

Book excerpt: A portrait of a woman, an era, and a profession: the first thoroughly researched biography of Meryl Streep that explores her beginnings as a young woman of the 1970s grappling with love, feminism, and her astonishing talent In 1975 Meryl Streep, a promising young graduate of the Yale School of Drama, was finding her place in the New York theater scene. Burning with talent and ambition, she was like dozens of aspiring actors of the time—a twenty-something beauty who rode her bike everywhere, kept a diary, napped before performances, and stayed out late “talking about acting with actors in actors’ bars.” Yet Meryl stood apart from her peers. In her first season in New York, she won attention-getting parts in back-to-back Broadway plays, a Tony Award nomination, and two roles in Shakespeare in the Park productions. Even then, people said, “Her. Again.” Her Again is an intimate look at the artistic coming-of-age of the greatest actress of her generation, from the homecoming float at her suburban New Jersey high school, through her early days on the stage at Vassar College and the Yale School of Drama during its golden years, to her star-making roles in The Deer Hunter, Manhattan, and Kramer vs. Kramer.New Yorker contributor Michael Schulman brings into focus Meryl’s heady rise to stardom on the New York stage; her passionate, tragically short-lived love affair with fellow actor John Cazale; her marriage to sculptor Don Gummer; and her evolution as a young woman of the 1970s wrestling with changing ideas of feminism, marriage, love, and sacrifice. Featuring eight pages of black-and-white photos, this captivating story of the making of one of the most revered artistic careers of our time reveals a gifted young woman coming into her extraordinary talents at a time of immense transformation, offering a rare glimpse into the life of the actress long before she became an icon.

Book Synopsis Give Me One Wish by : Jacquie Gordon
Download or read book Give Me One Wish written by Jacquie Gordon and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a remarkable mother and daughter and their love as they make sense of life and their relationship in the face of a deadly disease. Jacquie Gordon cannot cure her daughter Christine's cystic fibrosis, but she can teach her to follow life's gifts so that she grows up fearless and ready to discover her place in the world. In high school Chris comes into her own. Her wit and style hide her illness and turn ordinary moments into events. In her senior year, fearful that her illness makes her unappealing, she finds a love that will touch the heart of every reader. At graduation, she wins the Headmaster's Award for "educating the school in the most profound sense." Christine leads us on a funny, heartbreaking, exhilarating path: Through rock and roll from the Sex Pistols to U2 through slam dancing and Christian Fellowship through getting fake I.D.'s and saying her prayers through oxygen masks and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, through the Muppets and dyeing her hair purple, to singing with a band to catapulting herself onstage to kiss her favorite rock star. Defying the terror of her illness, she spends her life rejoicing. At college, eager for independence, illness forces her home in the very first semester. She returns to her mother's care, not as a resentful teenager, but as a beautiful and fiery young woman determined to share with her mother what she has learned of life. Chris had everything except one thing: good health. And in her familiar hospital room, with her family by her side, she lost everything to cystic fibrosis three weeks after she turned twenty-one. You will not be able to put down this enthralling book that gives us a rare and intimate chronicle of a teenage girl growing up in the 70's and 80's. Replete with passages from Christine's ten journals, Give Me One Wish tells the healing story of a beautiful girl who never stopped trying to live and who succeeds beyond all expectation. Readers of Give Me One Wish will never forget her rich journey and her wonderful victories. Listed among ALA's Best Books for Young Adults 1988. "This is a terrific book, which I recommend highly. We at the Muppets all loved Christine a beautiful and sensitive soul, a lover of life; but I never knew, until I read this book, just how brave and strong a fighter she was." Jim Henson, The Muppets "Christine was, at last, so alive, and that is the quality that her mother so vividly portrays in this lovely memoir." Frank Deford, author of Alex: The Life of a Child "This is a relentlessly realistic work about what it is like to live with and die from a chronic fatal illness. There is no pap, no sugar-coating; which is why it is a very good book for anyone who has the courage to face life and death squarely as we must if we are to be wholly human, and if we are to see those glimpses of glory which lies only beyond the terror. There are many beautiful things about this book." M. Scott Peck, M.D., author of The Road Less Traveled " This book has class. Gordon's style is elegant in its directness, with honesty and without sentimentality." The New York Times "This is a beautiful book about a mother and daughter sharing all the problems of life the normal everyday crises and an extraordinary battle against disease and growing together through them. It is for mothers and daughters, parents and teenagers everywhere." Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey, author of bestseller, A Woman of Independent Means "Christine's story is for all secondary students and adults. It carries a heavy emotional impact, but Christine is a person teens should know. Her spunk, her humor, her talent shine through Gordon's superb narration and collection of photographs. A MUST FOR ALL SECONDARY LIBRARIES." English Journal National Council of Teachers of English "An truly extraordinary book a story and a life which simply cannot be forgotten." Alice Hoffman, author of Illumination Night, Seventh Heaven, The River Ki
