Book excerpt: They were arguably the most talented song and dance troupe ever to come out of Hollywood in the 1940s. In three short years, from 1946 to 1948, this team of five veteran musical performers produced, eight wildly popular "B" features for Monogram Pictures. They were The Teen Agers, in the first series of films to capture the idealized spirit of clean-cut post WWII high school youth. Their real lives, however, were very different from their screen personalities. Only one member actually graduated from high school. There were rivalries and stage mothers, culminating in spousal abuse, alcoholism, multiple marriages, depression, and suicide. All but one died tragically and she became Lois Lane.

Book Synopsis The Teen Interpreter: A Guide to the Challenges and Joys of Raising Adolescents by : Terri Apter
Download or read book The Teen Interpreter: A Guide to the Challenges and Joys of Raising Adolescents written by Terri Apter and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Teen Interpreter is a generous roadmap for enjoying the most challenging, and rewarding, parenting years. Once children hit adolescence, it seems as if overnight “I love you” becomes “leave me alone,” and any question from a parent can be dismissed with one word: “fine.” But while they may not show it, teenagers rely on their parents’ curiosity, delight, and connection to guide them through this period of exuberant growth as they navigate complex changes to their bodies, their thought processes, their social world, and their self-image. In The Teen Interpreter, psychologist Terri Apter looks into teens’ minds—minds that are experiencing powerful new emotions and awareness of the world around them—to show how parents can revitalize their relationship with their children. She illuminates the rapid neurological developments of a teen’s brain, along with their new, complex emotions, and offers strategies for disciplining unsafe actions constructively and empathetically. Apter includes up-to-the moment case studies that shed light on the anxieties and vulnerabilities that today’s teens face, and she thoughtfully explores the positives and pitfalls of social media. With perceptive conversation exercises that synthesize research from more than thirty years in the field, Apter illustrates how teens signal their changing needs and identities—and how parents can interpret these signals and see the world through their teens’ eyes. The Teen Interpreter is a generous roadmap for enjoying the most challenging, and rewarding, parenting years.

Book Synopsis The Impossible Has Happened by : Lance Parkin
Download or read book The Impossible Has Happened written by Lance Parkin and published by Quarto Publishing Group USA. This book was released on 2016-07-19 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biographer goes in search of Gene Roddenberry, creator of the world’s most successful science fiction franchise. This book reveals how an undistinguished writer of cop shows set out to produce “Hornblower in space” —and ended up with Star Trek, an optimistic, almost utopian view of humanity’s future that has been watched and loved by hundreds of millions of people around the world. Along the way, Lance Parkin examines some of the great myths and turning points in the franchise’s history, and Roddenberry’s particular contribution to them. He looks at the view that the early Star Trek advanced a liberal, egalitarian, and multi-racial agenda; charts the various attempts to resuscitate the show during its wilderness years in the 1970s; explores Roddenberry’s initial early involvement in the movies and spin-off Star Trek: The Next Generation (as well as his later estrangement from both), and sheds light on the colorful personal life, self-mythologizing, and strange beliefs of a man who nonetheless gifted popular culture one if its most enduring narratives.
Book Synopsis The New Chameleons by : Michael R. Solomon
Download or read book The New Chameleons written by Michael R. Solomon and published by Kogan Page Publishers. This book was released on 2021-02-03 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER: NYC Big Book Award 2021 - Marketing & PR Consumers are changing but the marketing categories used to identify them have not. Engage with this new generation of consumers who increasingly take for granted that products and advertising will blend their multiple brand identities rather than market to them as a specific subculture. Male or female, work or play, online or offline. These and other market categories are no longer relevant as modern consumers defy traditional boundaries and identify as members of multiple subcultures. The New Chameleons reveals how to engage with this new generation and how to stand out among the competition. Global consumer behavior expert Michael R. Solomon directs marketers to move beyond their traditional categories and communicate with consumers as individuals rather than as a market segment. He explains how traditional marketing is based on the assumption of boundaries between us and them, the individual and the collective, producer and consumer, work and play, humans vs. computers, and editorial vs. commercial. He then shows how those boundaries are blurring: people identify with members of multiple subcultures; individuals seek collective advice before making a purchase; consumers no longer distinguish between purchases online or in-store; consumer-generated content becomes the norm; gender identity is fluid; gamification strategies turn work into play; and identity marketing becomes more popular. Combining history, data, experience and examples, The New Chameleons is written for every marketer (or reader) who wants to offer products and services that resonate with consumers now and in the future.
