With motherhood comes one of the toughest decisions of a woman’s life: Stay at home or pursue a career? The dilemma not only divides mothers into hostile, defensive camps but pits individual mothers against themselves Leslie Morgan Steiner has been there As an executive at The Washington Post, a writer, and mother of three, she has lived and breathed ожзъщ every side of the “mommy wars ” Rather than just watch the battles rage, Steiner decided to do something about it She commissioned twenty-six outspoken mothers to write about their lives, their families, and the choices that have worked for them The result is a frank, surprising, and utterly refreshing look at American motherhood Ranging in age from twenty-five to seventy-two and scattered across the country from New Hampshire to California, these mothers reflect the full spectrum of lifestyle choices Women who have been home with the kids from day one, moms who shuttle from full-time office jobs to part-time at-home work, hard-driving executives who put in seventy-hour-plus weeks: they all get a turn The one thing these women have in common, aside from having kids, is that they’re all terrific writers Pulitzer Prize winner Jane Smiley vividly recounts how her generation stormed the American workplace–only to take refuge at home when the workplace drove them out Lizzie McGuire creator Terri Minsky describes what it felt like to hear her kids scream “I hope you never come back!” when she flew to L A to launch the show that made her career Susan Cheever, novelist, biographer, and New York Newsday columnist, reports on the furious battles between the stroller pushers and the briefcase bearers on the streets of Manhattan Lois R Shea traded the journalistic fast track for a house in the country where she could raise her daughter in peace Ann Misiaszek Sarnoff, chief operating officer of the Women’s National Basketball Association, argues fiercely that you can combine ambition and motherhood–and have a blast in the process Candid, engaging, by turns unflinchingly honest and painfully funny, the essays collected here offer an astonishingly intimate portrait of the state of motherhood today Mommy Wars is a book by and for and about the real experts on motherhood and hard work: the women at home, in the office, on the job every day of their lives.  Pass   57.1   Bett   Bett2006 г Твердый переплет, 368 стр ISBN 1400064155.

Here is history that reads like fiction: the riveting story of two founding fathers of American industry—Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick—and the bloody steelworkers’ strike that transformed their fabled partnership into a furious rivalry Author Les Standiford begins at the bitter end, when the dying Carnegie proposes a final meeting ожзъю after two decades of separation, probably to ease his conscience Frick’s reply: “Tell him that I’ll meet him in hell ” It is a fitting epitaph Set against the backdrop of the Gilded Age, a time when Horatio Alger preached the gospel of upward mobility and expansionism went hand in hand with optimism, Meet You in Hell is a classic tale of two men who embodied the best and worst of American capitalism Standiford conjures up the majesty and danger of steel manufacturing, the rough-and-tumble of late-nineteenth-century big business, and the fraught relationship of “the world’s richest man” and the ruthless coke magnate to whom he entrusted his companies Enamored of Social Darwinism, the emerging school of thought that applied the notion of survival of the fittest to human society, both Carnegie and Frick would introduce revolutionary new efficiencies and meticulous cost control to their enterprises, and would quickly come to dominate the world steel market But their partnership had a dark side, revealed most starkly by their brutal handling of the Homestead Steel Strike of 1892 When Frick, acting on Carnegie’s orders to do whatever was necessary, unleashed three hundred Pinkerton detectives, the result was the deadliest clash between management and labor in U S history WHILE BLOOD FLOWED, FRICK SMOKED ran one newspaper headline The public was outraged An anarchist tried to assassinate Frick Even today, the names Carnegie and Frick cannot be uttered in some union-friendly communities Resplendent with tales of backroom chicanery, bankruptcy, philanthropy, and personal idiosyncrasy, Meet You in Hell is a fitting successor to Les Standiford’s masterly Last Train to Paradise Artfully weaving the relationship of these titans through the larger story of a young nation’s economic rise, Standiford has created an extraordinary work of popular history.  отде   Шуре   Your   Skag2005 г Твердый переплет, 336 стр ISBN 1400047676.

The massive investments made in Hollywood today demand tight controls on mainstream cinema, which effectively dictate--and provide--exactly what the public wants to see or else Elaborate measures are thus taken everywhere and at all points to maintain a grip on the public's imagination, but the more adept Hollywood becomes at giving the public ожзюе what it wants, the less any given studio is able to say anything new or truly innovative As a result, one must often look to alternative outlets in otder to find a movie intended primarily as art--or even as a sincere effort at entertainment--instead of as a basic source of revenue Inside of the United States, this means looking to independent films; outside of the United States, it means filtering through an enormous mass of movies and moviemakers Foreign and independent movies often play the role of bellwether for Hollywood studios unable to experiment in new genres and styles: thus, behind the look of the studio smash Sin City, for instance, was the rigorous pulp style of Sam Mendes' Road to Perdition; before the sadism and cynicism of many current thrillers and horror movies (like American Psycho) there was the work of Neil Labute; and where would the domestic drama be without the crumbling relationships of Alexander Payne; where would Hollywood's plots be without the harsh, fragmented narratives of Guillermo Arriaga and Alejandro Inarritu? In Volume 1 of this revealing set, Mario Falsetto presents extended interviews with nine of the most prominent independent film directors working in America today; while in Volume 2, Liza Bear gives prominent international filmmakers the opportunity to address essential issues surrounding creativity and production in a number of different geographical setting and contexts.  EHLP   Tatt   Svia   DaviИздательство: Praeger Publishers, 2007 г Твердый переплет, 704 стр ISBN 0275999416 Язык: Английский.

Launched in 1980, cable network Black Entertainment Television (BET) has helped make blackness visible and profitable at levels never seen prior in the TV industry In 2001, BET was sold by founder Robert L Johnson, a former cable lobbyist, to media giant Viacom for 2 33 billion dollars This book explores the legacy of BET: what the network has provided ожзяс to the larger US television economy, and, more specifically, to its target African American demographic The book examines whether the company has fulfilled its stated goals and implied obligation to African American communities Has it changed the way African Americans see themselves and the way others see them? Does the financial success of the network--secured in large part via the proliferation of images deemed offensive and problematic by many black communities--come at the expense of its African American audience? In the words of reviewer Kristal Brent Zook, this is a "much-needed an important study" because "other scholarly books on black television do not address BET in any substantive way" and "most studies have been primarily concerned with textual analysis and issues of representation, not ownership " This book fills a major gap in black television scholarship and should find a sizeable audience in both media studies and African American studies 1 edition Автор Beretta E Smith-Shomade.  Wind   Road   Mari   консИздательство: Routledge, 2007 г Твердый переплет, 232 стр ISBN 0415976782 Язык: Английский.

"Scottish and Irish Romanticism" is the first single-author book to address the main non-English Romanticisms of the British Isles Murray Pittock begins by questioning the terms of his chosen title as he searches for a definition of Romanticism and for the meaning of "national literature" He proposes certain determining ожибй "triggers" for the recognition of the presence of a national literature, and also deals with two major problems which are holding back the development of a new and broader understanding of British Isles Romanticisms: the survival of outdated assumptions in ostensibly more modern paradigms, and a lack of understanding of the full range of dialogues and relationships across the literatures of these islands The theorists whose works chiefly inform the book are Bakhtin, Fanon and Habermas, although they do not define its arguments, and an alertness to the ways in which other literary theories inform each other is present throughout the book Pittock examines in turn the historiography, prejudices, and assumptions of Romantic criticism to date, and how our unexamined prejudices still stand in the way of our understanding of individual traditions and the dialogues between them He then considers Allan Ramsay's role in song-collecting, hybridizing high cultural genres with broadside forms, creating in synthetic Scots a "language really used by men," and promoting a domestic public sphere Chapters 3 and 4 discuss the Scottish and Irish public spheres in the later eighteenth century, together with the struggle for control over national pasts, and the development of the cults of Romance, the Picturesque and Sentiment: Macpherson, Thomson, Owenson and Moore are among the writers discussed Chapter 5 explores the work of Robert Fergusson and his contemporaries in both Scotland and Ireland, examining questions of literary hybridity across not only national but also linguistic borders, while Chapter 6 provides a brief literary history of Burns' descent into critical neglect combined with a revaluation of his poetry in the light of the general argument of the book Chapter 7 analyzes the complexities of the linguistic and cultural politics of the national tale in Ireland through the work of Maria Edgeworth, while the following chapter considers of Scott in relation to the national tale, Enlightenment historiography, and the European nationalities question Chapter 9 looks at the importance of the Gothic in Scottish and Irish Romanticism, particularly in the work of James Hogg and Charles Maturin, while Chapter 10, "Fratriotism," explores a new concept in the manner in which Scottish and Irish literary, political and military figures of the period related to Empire Автор Murray Pittock Murray Pittock.  Malc   Звон   Соло   автоИздательство: Oxford University Press, 2008 г Твердый переплет, 296 стр ISBN 0199232792 Язык: Английский.

Andrew Shenton's groundbreaking cross-disciplinary approach to Messiaen's music presents a systematic and detailed examination of the compositional techniques of one of the most significant musicians of the twentieth century as they relate to his desire to express profound truths about Catholicism It is widely accepted that music can have ожзьй mystical and transformative powers, but because `pure' music has no programme, Messiaen sought to refine his compositions to speak more clearly about the truths of the Catholic faith by developing a sophisticated semiotic system in which aspects of music become direct signs for words and concepts Using interdisciplinary methodologies drawing on linguistics, cognition studies, theological studies and semiotics, Shenton traces the development of Messiaen's sign system using examples from many of Messiaen's works and concentrating in particular on the "Meditations on the Mystery of the Holy Trinity" for organ, a suite which contains the most sophisticated and developed use of a sign system and represents a profound exegesis of Messiaen's understanding of the Catholic triune God By working on issues of interpretation, Shenton endeavours to bridge the traditional gap between scholars and performers and to help people listen to Messiaen's music with spirit and understanding Автор Andrew Shenton Andrew Shenton.  Tran   книг   Creo   DonaИздательство: Ashgate, 2008 г Твердый переплет, 235 стр ISBN 0754661687 Язык: Английский.

At a time when gimmicky, action-driven blockbusters ruled Hollywood, Jim Jarmusch spearheaded a boom in independent cinema by making low-budget films focused on intimacy, character, and new takes on classical narratives His minimal form, peculiar pacing, wry humor, and blank affect have since been adopted by directors including Sophia Coppola, ожзэы Hal Harley, Richard Linklater, and Wong Kar-Wai Juan A Suarez's book analyzes the director's work from three mutually implicated perspectives: in relation to independent filmmaking from the 1980s to the present; as a form of cultural production that appropriates existing icons, genres, and motifs; and as an instance of postmodern politics Автор Juan A Suarez Juan A Suarez.  Tato   Kary   спас   ЗареСерия: Contemporary Film Directors.

The end of the Second World War saw the emergence in Italy of the neorealism movement, which produced a number of films characterized by stories set among the poor and working class, often shot on location using non-professional actors In this study Christopher Wagstaff provides an in-depth analysis of neorealist film, focusing on three films ожзящ that have had a major impact on filmmakers and audiences around the world: Roberto Rossellini's Roma citta aperta and Paisa and Vittorio De Sica's Ladri di biciclette Indeed, these films are still, more than half a century after they were made, among the most highly regarded works in the history of cinema In this insightful and carefully researched work, Wagstaff suggests that the importance of these films is largely due to the aesthetic and rhetorical qualities of their assembled sounds and images rather than, as commonly thought, their particular representations of historical reality The author begins by situating neorealist cinema in its historical, industrial, commercial, and cultural context He goes on to provide a theoretical discussion of realism and the merits of neorealist films, individually and collectively, as aesthetic artefacts He follows with a detailed analysis of the three films, focusing on technical and production aspects as well as on the significance of the films as cinematic works of art While providing a wealth of information and analysis previously unavailable to an English-speaking audience, Italian Neorealist Cinema offers a radically new perspective on neorealist cinema and the Italian art cinema that followed it.  Низо   рома   Goin   АудиИздательство: University of Toronto Press, 2007 г Твердый переплет, 464 стр ISBN 0802097618 Язык: Английский.

In "The Citizen Audience," Richard Butsch explores the cultural and political history of audiences in the United States from the nineteenth century to the present He demonstrates that, while attitudes toward audiences have shifted over time, Americans have always judged audiences against standards of good citizenship From descriptions ожзяя of tightly packed crowds in early American theaters to the contemporary reports of distant, anonymous Internet audiences, Butsch examines how audiences were represented in contemporary discourse He explores a broad range of sources on theater, movies, propaganda, advertising, broadcast journalism, and much more Butsch discovers that audiences were characterized according to three recurrent motifs: as crowds and as isolated individuals in a mass, both of which were considered bad, and as publics which were considered ideal audiences These images were based on and reinforced class and other social hierarchies At times though, subordinate groups challenged their negative characterization in these images, and countered with their own interpretations A remarkable work of cultural criticism and media history, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking an historical understanding of how audiences, media and entertainment function in the American cultural and political imagination Автор Richard Butsch.  рабо   Herb   Руби   СодеИздательство: Routledge, 2007 г Твердый переплет, 200 стр ISBN 0415977894 Язык: Английский.

"The Tenth Muse: Writing about Cinema in the Modernist Period" explores writings on the cinema in the first decades of the twentieth century Laura Marcus examines the impact of cinema on early twentieth-century literary and, more broadly, aesthetic and cultural consciousness, by bringing together the study of the terms and strategies ожиаи of early writings about film with literary engagement with cinema in the same period She gives a new understanding of the ways in which early writers about film - reviewers, critics, theorists - developed aesthetic categories to define and accommodate what was called 'the seventh art' or 'the tenth muse' and found discursive strategies adequate to the representation of the new art and technology of cinema, with its unprecedented powers of movement In examining the writings of early film critics and commentators in tandem with those of more specifically literary figures, including H G Wells and Virginia Woolf, and in bringing literary texts into this field, Laura Marcus provides a new account of relationships between cinema and literature Intertwining two major strands of research - the exploration of early film criticism and theory and cinema's presence in literary texts - "The Tenth Muse: Writing about Cinema in the Modernist Period" shows how issues central to an understanding of cinema (including questions of time, repetition, movement, vision, sound and silence) are threaded through both kinds of writing, and the ways in which discursive and fictional writings overlapped The movement that defined cinema was also perceived as a more fragile and unstable ephemerality that inhered at every level, from the fleeting nature of the projected images to the vagaries of cinematic exhibition It was the anxiety over the mutability of the medium and its exhibition which, from the 1920s onwards, led to the establishment of such institutional spaces for cinema as the London-based Film Society, the new film journals, and, in the 1930s, the first film archives The Tenth Muse explores the continuities between these sites of cinematic culture and the conceptual, literary and philosophical understandings of the filmic medium Автор Laura Marcus Laura Marcus.  Скво   Nige   Rajn   СодеИздательство: Oxford University Press, 2008 г Твердый переплет, 528 стр ISBN 0199230277 Язык: Английский.

Редактор: Robert Cornfield Edwin Denby was the most important and influential American dance critic of the 20th century His reviews and essays which he began writing in the late 1930s and continued to write for almost thirty years were possessed of a voice, vision, and passion as compelling and inspiring as his subject As dance critic, ожибс first for Modern Music and then for the New York Herald Tribune, and as a contributor to numerous magazines and journals (Ballet, Dance Magazine, Mademoiselle, and Evergreen Review among them), Denby permanently changed the way we think and talk about dance This volume presents his reviews from Modern Music and the Tribune in chronological order, providing not only a picture of how Denby's dance theories and reviewing methods evolved, but also an informal history of the dance in New York from 1936 through 1945 Some of the reviews glimpse the vanished dancers and dances that were most particularly of their time In others, Denby returns again and again to the four artists he considered exemplary: Alicia Markova, Alexandra Danilova, Martha Graham, and George Balanchine It was Balanchine on whom Denby focused after he left the Tribune, and all of his post Tribune writings on Balanchine and the New York City Ballet are presented here in one section, providing a history of the early artistic development of the company and of Balanchine himself, while also showing Denby's most eloquent and deeply felt writing Finally there are his post 1945 reviews, essays, and lectures on such general dance subjects as the phenomenon of a truly good leap, classicism in ballet, and dance criticism itself Here as elsewhere in the collection, the simple elegance of his writing, its evocative power, and its extraordinary timelessness make it an essential part of our dance literature 2 edition.  tuchkas   Thin   реда   Издательство: University Press of Florida, 2007 г Мягкая обложка, 624 стр ISBN 0813030579.
