Book excerpt: An award-winning documentary photographer delivers a stunning visual history of the Silicon Valley technology boom, in which he was witness to key moments in the careers of Steve Jobs and more than seventy other leading innovators as they created today’s digital world. An eye-opening chronicle of the Silicon Valley technology boom, capturing key moments in the careers of Steve Jobs and more than seventy other leading innovators as they created today’s digital world In the spring of 1985, a technological revolution was under way in Silicon Valley, and documentary photographer Doug Menuez was there in search of a story—something big. At the same time, Steve Jobs was being forced out of his beloved Apple and starting over with a new company, NeXT Computer. His goal was to build a supercomputer with the power to transform education. Menuez had found his story: he proposed to photograph Jobs and his extraordinary team as they built this new computer, from conception to product launch. In an amazing act of trust, Jobs granted Menuez unlimited access to the company, and, for the next three years, Menuez was able to get on film the spirit and substance of innovation through the day-to-day actions of the world’s top technology guru. From there, the project expanded to include the most trailblazing companies in Silicon Valley, all of which granted Menuez the same complete access that Jobs had. Menuez photographed behind the scenes with John Warnock at Adobe, John Sculley at Apple, Bill Gates at Microsoft, John Doerr at Kleiner Perkins, Bill Joy at Sun Microsystems, Gordon Moore and Andy Grove at Intel, Marc Andreessen at Netscape, and more than seventy other leading companies and innovators. It would be fifteen years before Menuez stopped taking pictures, just as the dotcom bubble burst. An extraordinary era was coming to its close. With his singular behind-the-scenes access to these notoriously insular companies, Menuez was present for moments of heartbreaking failure and unexpected success, moments that made history, and moments that revealed the everyday lives of the individuals who made it happen. This period of rapid, radical change would affect almost every aspect of our culture and our lives in ways both large and small and would also create more jobs and wealth than any other time in human history. And Doug Menuez was there, a witness to a revolution. In more than a hundred photographs and accompanying commentary, Fearless Genius captures the human face of innovation and shows what it takes to transform powerful ideas into reality.

Book excerpt: The deluxe edition of Disco: The Bill Bernstein Photographs is limited to 100 signed and numbered copies. This collector's item includes a signed photograph exclusive to this edition and is presented in a bespoke slipcase. Containing many previously unpublished photographs, Disco takes the viewer on an access-all-areas tour of late-'70s New York nightlife. "Who were these people of the night...? It was the Posers. The Watchers. The Posers watching other Posers watching the Watchers, watching the Dancers, watching themselves." Bernstein's eye was drawn to the characters that lived for the night, rather than the celebrities, the unknown men and women who were transformed by the nightclub haze, and this is one reason his photographs from this time feel so authentic and immersive.

Download or read book '93 Til written by and published by Goff Books. This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To be a skateboarder today is a much different experience than it was for much of the 1990s. The photographs, quotes, and anecdotal text in ''93 til' captures a time in skateboarding when making a livable income as a professional skater was a luxury and public understanding of skateboarding was at an all-time low. It was a time when skateboarding was searching for an identity, a time before Instagram and big corporate influences. Street skating was coming of age, testing its limitations and aligning itself with a new and innovate style of hip-hop culture that was emerging. Looking back, many skaters today feel as though the '90s were the golden years of skateboarding. ''93 til' is a captivating portal into a decade and a culture that is remembered with warmth and nostalgia. Much of the photography that Pete has unearthed for '93 til was buried in boxes for close to two decades and hasn't never been seen or published before. The 250-page book also contains several timeless images from his years shooting for SLAP and Transworld Skateboarding Magazine that will be familiar to the initiated. In addition to his stunning action shots are plenty of portraits and unguarded, candid moments that span from the late '80s up through 2004. The book reveals a raw, unapologetic perspective of a world that no longer exists."--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Brackett’s diaries read like a funnier, better-paced version of Barton Fink.” —Newsweek Screenwriter Charles Brackett is best remembered as the writing partner of director Billy Wilder, who once referred to the pair as “the happiest couple in Hollywood,” collaborating on such classics as The Lost Weekend and Sunset Boulevard. He was also a perceptive chronicler of the entertainment industry, and in this annotated collection of writings from dozens of Brackett’s unpublished diaries, film historian Anthony Slide clarifies Brackett's critical contribution to Wilder’s films and enriches our knowledge of Wilder’s achievements in writing, direction, and style. Brackett’s diaries re-create the initial meetings of the talent responsible for Ninotchka, Hold Back the Dawn, Ball of Fire, The Major and the Minor, Five Graves to Cairo, The Lost Weekend, and Sunset Boulevard, recounting the breakthroughs and the breakdowns that ultimately forced these collaborators to part ways. In addition to a portrait of Wilder, this is rare view of a producer who was a president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Screen Writers Guild, a New Yorker drama critic, and a member of the Algonquin Round Table. With insight into the dealings of Paramount, Universal, MGM, and RKO, and legendary figures such as Alfred Lunt, Lynn Fontanne, Edna Ferber, and Dorothy Parker, this book reveals the political and creative intrigue at the heart of Hollywood’s most significant films. “A fascinating look at Hollywood in its classic period, and a unique and indispensable must-have for any movie buff.” —Chicago Tribune “This feels as close as we can get to being in the presence of Wilder’s genius, and he emerges as the cruelest as well as the wittiest of men.” —The Guardian “Not only rare insight into their often-stormy partnership but also an insider’s view of Hollywood during that era.” —Los Angeles Times “Very entertaining.” —Library Journal

Book excerpt: Snow Beachis the definitive book of snowboarding in the late 80s and early 90s: action and style on the mountain. In these early years, snowboarding culture was full of rebellious riders: off-season skateboarders and generation X's outcasts trying to find their way through early adulthood and adolescence. At the same time, the sport was maturing and growing into the mainstream giant it is today.Snow Beachdraws on the best photographers of the era to document the lifestyle, fashion, and feats of athleticism that defined the decade. In these tightly cropped action and lifestyle shots, snowboarders flaunt their outsider status as champions of the alternative winter sport. The images inSnow Beachare of snowboarders with grunge, punk, and hip-hop sensibilities. There is a lingering 80s ski flair mixed with the emerging 90s look pioneered by fledgling brands like Burton, Sims, and Ride, showcasing looks that are popular in modern fashion. With about 40 years of history as a seasonal activity, snowboarding has done a sparse job archiving and documenting its own history and there are no definitive books on the subject currently available. Assembled by creative director Alex Dymond and with photo contributions from Bud Fawcett, Dano Pendygrasse, Jon Foster, Trevor Graves, Vianney Tisseau, and many more,along with essay contributors Jesse Huffman and Pat Bridges,Snow Beachis here to set the record straight.

Book excerpt: The Golden Era deals with End Time Revelation the Prophetic word of GOD. GOD'S powerful revelation on what is going to take place in the near future and how it will effect our lives and our future generations. Matthew 24:1-3 &14 And JESUS went out, and departed from the temple and His disciples came to Him for to shew Him the building of the Temple. And JESUS said unto them, See ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. This book will help you understand the role that President George W. Bush played in protecting the future and the causes of recession. America was the Matrix of the world and Osama Bin Laden believed that if he could destroy the matrix he could weaken the nations. Knowing who the antichrist is, and his number 666 and the location where he will come out of is important for so many believe he will come from Rome. It will tell us about the two antichrist that will be known before the coming of JESUS and the last one from Gog and Magog. This book will explain the most important things we will need to know in order to survive when hard time come. The government can't prepare us for what is about to take place but the word of GOD can.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, this book uncovers the historical trajectory of U.S. independent hip-hop in the post-golden era, seeking to understand its complex relationship to mainstream hip-hop culture and U.S. culture more generally. Christopher Vito analyzes the lyrics of indie hip-hop albums from 2000-2013 to uncover the dominant ideologies of independent artists regarding race, class, gender, sexual orientation, and social change. These analyses inform interviews with members of the indie hip-hop community to explore the meanings that they associate with the culture today, how technological and media changes impact the boundaries between independent and major, and whether and how this shapes their engagement with oppositional consciousness. Ultimately, this book aims to understand the complex and contradictory cultural politics of independent hip-hop in the contemporary age.

Pieper, is a collection of essays which gather a host of academicians from a wide variety of disciplines including sociology, psychology, literature, fine arts, history, religious studies, communication, and media studies.

The collection's cross-disciplinary investigation also examines gender images and narratives which, in the advertising page, are frequently associated with utopian fantasies. The analyses offered in Utopian Images and Narratives in Advertising will appeal to any scholar or student engaged in mass media, communication, and the effect of advertising and consumerism on individuals and cultures.

Download or read book What Is The Golden Era Of Action Figures, The Different Action Figures Lines That Were Released During The Golden Era Of Action Figures, The Best Action Figures Lines That Were Released During The Golden Era Of Action Figures, And How The Golden Era Of Action Figures Revolutionized The Action Figure Industry written by Dr. Harrison Sachs and published by The Epic Books Of Dr. Harrison Sachs. This book was released on 2023-01-22 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on what is the golden era of action figures, demystifies the different action figures lines that were released during the golden era of action figures, reveals the best action figures lines that were released during the golden era of action figures, and expounds upon how the golden era of action figures revolutionized the action figure industry. The golden era of action figures is a period of time in which action figures offered action figure collectors maximum value at their respective retail prices. The overall value that the action figures of the golden era of action figures offered action figure collectors at their respective retail prices is disproportionately incomparable to the overall value that the action figures that were released in the 2010s era of action figures and the 2020s era of action figures offered action figure collectors at their respective retail prices. The golden era of action figures is also a period of time that is characterized by far more than just low prices on high-quality action figures. An abundance of high-quality action figures were produced amid the golden era of action figures. The golden era of action figures is also a nostalgic period of time for action figure collectors to reminisce about since an exorbitant amount of iconic fantasy characters from beloved mass media franchises were materialized into action figures amid the golden era of action figures. The golden era of action figures is also a period of time in which action figures collectors were enticed to collect action figures since there were a copious amount of iconic fantasy characters from beloved mass media franchises that were materialized into high-quality action figures that were being sold at low retail prices at retail stores amid the golden era of action figures. In the golden era of action figures, it was a viability for an action figure collector to be able to complete action figure waves and rapidly build an action figure collection since there were a cornucopia of high-quality action figures that were released in the action figure market amid the golden era of action figures that were being sold at low retail prices at retail stores amid the golden era of action figures. There were a copious amount of high-quality action figures that were released in the action figure market amid the golden era of action figures. The high-quality action figures that were released in the action figure market amid the golden era of action figures not only have high-quality aesthetics, high-quality shadings, high-quality textures, high-quality details, and high-quality sculpts, but also have high-quality accessories. An exorbitant amount of high-quality action figures that were released in the action figure market amid the golden era of action figures also have ample points of articulation which provides them with latitude for dynamic maneuverability. In the golden era of action figures, customers were furnished with the option to purchase high-quality action figures at low prices from retailers via brick-and-mortar retail stores and from e-commerce retailers via e-commerce websites. The golden era of action figures is also a period of time in which an exorbitant amount of people became action figure collectors. The action figure market in the golden era of action figures was appealing to action figure collectors since a myriad of iconic fantasy characters from beloved mass media franchises were materialized into high-quality action figures that were being sold at low retail prices at brick-and-mortar retail stores and on e-commerce websites amid the golden era of action figures. The golden era of action figures was not only a time period in which a plethora of innovations were implemented in the action figure industry, but also was a time period in which it was possible for customers to be able to buy high-quality 6”-7” action figures that are apart of a 1:12 action figure scale at around the $8 price point per action figure. The golden era of action figures is a stark contrast to the 2020s era of action figures in which action figure collectors would need to concede to paying exorbitant retail prices of $20-$125 per action figure to be able to buy high-quality 6”-7” action figures from retailers via brick-and-mortar retail stores and from e-commerce retailers via e-commerce websites.
