Book Synopsis In the Land of Giants by : Max Adams
Download or read book In the Land of Giants written by Max Adams and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cultural exploration of the Dark Age landscapes of Britain that poses a significant question: Is the modern world simply the realization of our ancient past? The five centuries between the end of Roman Britain and the death of Alfred the Great have left few voices save a handful of chroniclers, but Britain's "Dark Ages" can still be explored through their material remnants: architecture, books, metalwork, and, above all, landscapes. Max Adams explores Britain's lost early medieval past by walking its paths and exploring its lasting imprint on valley, hill, and field. From York to Whitby, from London to Sutton Hoo, from Edinburgh to Anglesey, and from Hadrian's Wall to Loch Tay, each of his ten walking narratives form free-standing chapters as well as parts of a wider portrait of a Britain of fort and fyrd, crypt and crannog, church and causeway, holy well and memorial stone. Part travelogue, part expert reconstruction, In the Land of Giants offers a beautifully written insight into the lives of peasants, drengs, ceorls, thanes, monks, knights, and kings during an enigmatic but richly exciting period of Britain’s history.

Book Synopsis Irwin Allen Television Productions, 1964-1970 by : Jon Abbott
Download or read book Irwin Allen Television Productions, 1964-1970 written by Jon Abbott and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2009-09-30 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before establishing himself as the "master of disaster" with the 1970s films The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno, Irwin Allen created four of television's most exciting and enduring science-fiction series: Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Lost in Space, The Time Tunnel and Land of the Giants. These 1960s series were full of Allen's favorite tricks, techniques and characteristic touches, and influenced other productions from the original Star Trek forward. Every science-fiction show owes something to Allen, yet none has equaled his series' pace, excitement, or originality. This detailed examination and documentation of the premise and origin of the four shows offers an objective evaluation of every episode--and demonstrates that when Irwin Allen's television episodes were good, they were great, and when they were bad, they were still terrific fun.
Book Synopsis Gulliver in the Land of Giants by : Ms Anna Grzeskowiak-Krwawicz
Download or read book Gulliver in the Land of Giants written by Ms Anna Grzeskowiak-Krwawicz and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-07-28 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Józef Boruwlaski was the most famous dwarf of the Enlightenment age. Polish-born, he travelled extensively throughout Europe, appearing and performing at royal courts and salons, before settling in Durham in his later life until his death at the age of 97. He was described in Diderot's Encyclopédie and the press of his day - both on the continent and in the UK - sustained an interest in him and kept tabs on his life and experiences. His memoirs, published in a bilingual (French and English) version in 1788, show him to have been an intelligent and sharp observer of the world he inhabited. The life story of this miniature gentleman is not only highly interesting in its own right, but also offers a new perspective on the culture of the Enlightenment. Through a meticulous survey of source materials in Poland, France, and the United Kingdom, the author has managed to unearth and reconstruct many heretofore unknown details about Boruwlaski's life and adventures, about his travels first on the continent and then in the United Kingdom. It is not typical biography, but rather an attempt at identifying certain social roles that were imposed upon Boruwlaski: a plaything of the salons, a source of entertainment for the masses, an adventurist against his own wishes. At the same time, his story is that of a man who spent his whole life trying to escape from such roles imposed upon him. Boruwlaski's memoirs are included in full, containing many of the letters he sent to his wife, with critical annotation. The author also investigates for the first time the sizeable differences between the many different versions of the memoirs published during his own lifetime. This monograph offers not only an opportunity to rediscover the fascinating life story of an intriguing man, but also gives a unique point of view on Europe's uppermost elite in the Enlightenment age - as people who remained deeply fascinated with deformities and oddities despite their own self-professed 'refined' tastes.

Book excerpt: Valerie in Giantland takes place ten years after our heroes crashed on the Land of the Giants. Without losing the feel and character of the original story this novel shows us a more mature group of seven and relates what has happened to them since the last episode was shown on TV. Written as a diary by Valerie, we see her more in depth as well as the other characters and how the years have made them relate to each other and their environment. There are adventures not just in the main Giant city, but at sea, in the depths of the jungle, and in a lost civilization of little people that will remind one of tales by Edgar Rice Burroughs and H. R. Haggard. They are not alone among the Giants as what happened to them happened to others and in this novel there is discovery of colonies of other "little people". You will finally learn what this land is really all about and how it relates closely to our own Earth. The reader will be reunited with Giants who made appearances in the series and will see how they tie in together in surprising ways for a major climactic ending. Actually a beginning as this book sets the scene for new adventures to come. The Sci Fi Guy, Forry Ackerman himself praises the book as being as "fast moving and exciting as an Indiana Jones adventure". Forry has been the agent for hundreds of successful authors as well as a critic and collector with an international reputation. He compares Valerie in Giantland with the "young adult fiction by Andre Norton and Robert Heinlein." Reviews "I think what we have here is a novel in the genre that would appeal to young adults like the early work of Robert A. Heinlein and Andre Norton. I was really surprised at the professionalism of it." - Forest J. Ackerman, Famous Monsters of Filmland Editor, Book Reviewer, and former agent for 460 science fiction authors. "It has a fast moving pace with the kind of strong characters favored by Heinlein and Norton. The book emphasizes a most powerful idea: the struggle to be free. At this period in our history it holds a powerful message at a time when it is needed." - Ron Rogers, Author and Reviewer. "A rollicking good action adventure yarn from start to finish. When do we see a sequel? When do we see a movie? The original series and Irwin Allen have been truly honored by this." - Robert Nichols, English Department Chair and Author.
