Book Synopsis Milwaukee Television History by : Dick Golembiewski
Download or read book Milwaukee Television History written by Dick Golembiewski and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Milwaukee - not New York, Chicago or Los Angeleswas the scene of a number of television firsts: The Journal Company filed the very first application for a commercial TV license with the FCC in 1938. The first female program director and news director in a major market were both at Milwaukee stations. The city was a major battleground in the VHF vs. UHF war that began in the 1950s. The battle to put an educational TV station on the air was fought at the national, state and local levels by the Milwaukee Vocational School. WMVS-TV was the first educational TV station to run a regular schedule of colorcasts, and WMVT was the site of the first long-distance rest of a digital over-theair signal." "This detailed story of the rich history of the city's television stations since 1930 is told through facts, anecdotes, and quotations from the on-air talent, engineers, and managers who conceived, constructed, and put the stations on the air. Included are discussions of the many locally-produced shows - often done live - that once made up a large part of a station's broadcast day. Through these stories - some told here for the first time - and the book's extensive photographic images, the history of Milwaukee television comes alive again for the reader." "From the first early tests using mechanical scanning methods in the 1930s, through the first successful digital television tests, the politics, conflicts, triumphs, and failures of Milwaukee's television stations are described in fascinating detail." --Book Jacket.

Book Synopsis Good Morning, Beautiful Business by : Judy Wicks
Download or read book Good Morning, Beautiful Business written by Judy Wicks and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's not often that someone stumbles into entrepreneurship and ends up reviving a community and starting a national economic-reform movement. But that's what happened when, in 1983, Judy Wicks founded the White Dog Café on the first floor of her house on a row of Victorian brownstones in West Philadelphia. After helping to save her block from demolition, Judy grew what began as a tiny muffin shop into a 200-seat restaurant-one of the first to feature local, organic, and humane food. The restaurant blossomed into a regional hub for community, and a national powerhouse for modeling socially responsible business. Good Morning, Beautiful Business is a memoir about the evolution of an entrepreneur who would not only change her neighborhood, but would also change her world-helping communities far and wide create local living economies that value people and place as much as commerce and that make communities not just interesting and diverse and prosperous, but also resilient. Wicks recounts a girlhood coming of age in the sixties, a stint working in an Alaska Eskimo village in the seventies, her experience cofounding the first Free People store, her accidental entry into the world of restauranteering, the emergence of the celebrated White Dog Café, and her eventual role as an international leader and speaker in the local-living-economies movement. Her memoir traces the roots of her career - exploring what it takes to marry social change and commerce, and do business differently. Passionate, fun, and inspirational, Good Morning, Beautiful Business explores the way women, and men, can follow both mind and heart, do what's right, and do well by doing good.

Life would change when, at the age of eleven, Ken landed a job in his uncle's Chinese restaurant.

His wildly popular books have inspired millions of home cooks, and he paved the way for a generation of celebrity chefs.

Book excerpt: All aboard for a delicious ride on nine legendary railway journeys! Meals associated with train travel have been an important ingredient of railway history for more than a century—from dinners in dining cars to lunches at station buffets and foods purchased from platform vendors. For many travelers, the experience of eating on a railway journey is often a highlight of the trip, a major part of the “romance of the rails.” A delight for rail enthusiasts, foodies, and armchair travelers alike, Food on the Move serves up the culinary history of these famous journeys on five continents, from the earliest days of rail travel to the present. Chapters invite us to table for the haute cuisine of the elegant dining carriages on the Orient Express; the classic American feast of steak-and-eggs on the Santa Fe Super Chief; and home-cooked regional foods along the Trans-Siberian tracks. We eat our way across Canada’s vast interior and Australia’s spectacular and colorful Outback; grab an infamous “British railway sandwich” to munch on the Flying Scotsman; snack on spicy samosas on the Darjeeling Himalayan Toy Train; dine at high speed on Japan’s bullet train, the Shinkansen; and sip South African wines in a Blue Train—a luxury lounge-car featuring windows of glass fused with gold dust. Written by eight authors who have traveled on those legendary lines, these chapters include recipes from the dining cars and station eateries, taken from historical menus and contributed by contemporary chefs, as well as a bounty of illustrations. A toothsome commingling of dinner triangles and train whistles, this collection is a veritable feast of meals on the move.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A true story and travelogue, originally written as a diary meant for the author's daughters to read when they got older, to let them understand that he thought of them and loved them all those days they were apart. The story begins in a desperate situation where the author's children are taken away from him abroad by his ex. He makes the decision to sell and give away all his possessions to be able to rush after them, from Sweden down to Portugal. Without knowing it, the process of letting go starts a cleansing that step by step leads him into insights high and low. The author travels through beautiful landscapes in his trusted survival capsule, a campervan called Beatrice. Surfing glassy waves and skiing big mountains he encounters both adventurers, misfits and freedom fighters. Many in similar predicaments. The story about this epicurean journey has been let to be as it came to the author sitting in his blue campervan, with the experiences, encounters and great surf and ski happening to him only moments before. Maybe, just maybe, his liberation can set you free as it did him. - - - - - - - - - - - - Reviews "In Alex Epicure's strong, heartfelt, revealing but at the same time deeply inspiring and life-affirming book, you are given vivid descriptions of powder-fluffy slopes of the French Alps and challenging surf spots along the Atlantic coast, all while taking part in his ups and downs on this epicurean journey through Europe. His fluent writing let you travel beside him in his trusted campervan called Beatrice, taking part of unexpected encounters, existential reasoning and poetic moments. I can only say that the book invites to read in one go, and I highly recommend it to anyone nurturing dreams of vanlife, or want to take a break from the grey treadmill for a while." / Fredrik Ekblad, Editor in Chief at Österlenmagasinet "A story that is confident with itself and creates a world where you want to be." / Åke Högman, Swedish Author and Journalist "The Book by Alex Epicure, is a highly readable break-up novel. I read it during a hot summer day in August, once I'd started I couldn't stop. I'm a picky book reader. Growing up with books like Jack Kerouac's" On the road "and Robert M. Pirsig's "Zen and the art of riding a motorcycle", my expectations of an unknown debutant were not high. To my surprise the book surpassed my demands by miles, giving exciting perspectives on life. I can not help but recommend everyone to read it." / Lars Magnusson, Editor in Chief at Magasinet Kullaliv
Book Synopsis Epicurus And The Pleasant Life by : Haris Dimitriadis
Download or read book Epicurus And The Pleasant Life written by Haris Dimitriadis and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that happiness is a choice accessible to all is far from new; the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus developed the Natural Philosophy of life over two thousand years ago, providing practical, contemporary guidelines to finding meaning and happiness. Unlike Plato, who valued the divine logic above all, Epicurus argued that the pursuit of ideals produced by logic alone leads to inner conflict, cognitive dissonance, dissatisfaction, and even depression. He suggested that by first embracing our natural desires, then using logic to determine which choices will increase pleasure over time, and using our will to take action, we could learn and change, and achieve happiness. Join the author Haris Dimitriadis on a journey through the history of philosophical thought, as well as an in-depth look at the modern neuroscience, psychology, and astrophysics, and discover why the ancient Epicurean Philosophy of Nature matters as much today as it did two thousand and three hundred years ago!

Book Synopsis Tending the Epicurean Garden by : Hiram Crespo
Download or read book Tending the Epicurean Garden written by Hiram Crespo and published by Humanist Press. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be Smart About Being Happy Gods may exist, but they’re too far removed to care about humans. So our best purpose in life is not to please gods, but to be happy. Which is not as easy as it sounds, since short-term pleasures and selfishness create longer-term misery. Thus taught Epicurus, 2,300 years ago. Hiram Crespo brings the Epicurean passion for maximum happiness into the modern age with this practical guidebook. Step one in what Crespo calls the “hedonic calculus” is to rein in desires, so they become easier to satisfy – just the opposite of the luxurious indulgence so often incorrectly associated with Epicureanism. From there, he offers a blizzard of ideas, from healthy recipes that stimulate natural “feel-good” chemicals in the brain to the journaling of positive events, even on a bad day. The highest attainable happiness, though, is communing with friends – it just doesn’t get any better than that. Being smart about being happy means using the best knowledge and tools available. Tending the Epicurean Garden is an excellent place to start.
Book Synopsis Epicureanism: A Very Short Introduction by : Catherine Wilson
Download or read book Epicureanism: A Very Short Introduction written by Catherine Wilson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-10 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epicureanism is commonly associated with a carefree view of life and the pursuit of pleasures, particularly the pleasures of the table. However it was a complex and distinctive system of philosophy that emphasized simplicity and moderation, and considered nature to consist of atoms and the void. Epicureanism is a school of thought whose legacy continues to reverberate today. In this Very Short Introduction, Catherine Wilson explains the key ideas of the School, comparing them with those of the rival Stoics and with Kantian ethics, and tracing their influence on the development of scientific and political thought from Locke, Newton, and Galileo to Rousseau, Marx, Bentham, and Mill. She discusses the adoption and adaptation of Epicurean motifs in science, morality, and politics from the 17th Century onwards and contextualises the significance of Epicureanism in modern life. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.
