Anyone interested in being surprised, having a rude awakening, and being shocked that causes them to see things in a different way will find this creative work stimulating. B. G. Webb refers to himself as a guru who lights gas lamplights in old London. Instead of drugs, the author presents an essay, a poem, a drawing, a photo, a piece of music after another to light up the readers mind to consider a different way to look at the mysteries of life. This exciting and, perhaps to some, a disturbing work is dedicated to the doubters of mankind such as Marie Currie, Albert Einstein, Rachel Carson, Pearl Buck, Stephen Hawking, Carl Jung, and all the others. So if you feel you are brave enough, buy this book and go from street to street on a psychedelic trip into the unknowninto the mysteries of lifeand hopefully, gain new insights. As you do, you will hear the music of India, the chants and sounds coming from holy men, and beautiful women dancing in unison to the rhythms of drums, zitars and tambourines. Om, om, om.

This novel is dedicated to all the brave men and women who fought and died during World War II. It is a wonderful recreation of that critical time in the struggle against Fascism. The reader feels he is there back in 1944. Mark David Johnson, in his late teen, keeps a diary of his observations and feelings of that yearfrom battles in the Pacific, to D-Day, and the Battle of the Bulge in Europe. He and his family experience an awakening about their heritage and their ability to face danger with courage. The lessons they learn fit as much to our critical times as they did in 1944.

A Family Systems Guide to Infidelity offers an explanatory model and concrete techniques, enabling therapists and counselors to treat the core of a couple’s relationship problems instead of merely applying a therapeutic bandage. Chapters give therapists proven techniques to help couples redevelop trust, rebalance power, increase satisfaction, and recover from the wounds that infidelity causes. This text uses case studies from clinical practice, examples of public or historical figures, and scenarios from popular movies to illustrate concepts, and it provides a systemic explanatory model for understanding infidelity, one that focuses on marital dissatisfaction, power imbalances, unfulfilled dreams, and the discovery of infidelity.

Hundreds of Hollywood-on-Hollywood movies can be found throughout the history of American cinema, from the days of silents to the present. They include films from genres as far ranging as musical, film noir, melodrama, comedy, and action-adventure. Such movies seduce us with the promise of revealing the reality behind the camera. But, as part of the very industry they supposedly critique, they cannot take us behind the scenes in any true sense. Through close analysis of fifteen critically acclaimed films, Christopher Ames reveals how the idea of Hollywood is constructed and constructs itself. Films discussed: What Price Hollywood? (1952), A Star Is Born (1937), Stand-In (1937), Boy Meets Girl (1938), Sullivan's Travels (1941), In a Lonely Place (1950), Sunset Boulevard (1950), The Star (1950), Singin' in the Rain (1952), The Bad and the Beautiful (1952), Pennies from Heaven (1981), The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985), The Player (1992), Last Action Hero (1993).
