DOWNLOAD EBOOKBased on the classic History of Broadcasting in the United States, Tube of Plenty represents the fruit of several decades' labor. When Erik Barnouw--premier chronicler of American broadcasting and a participant in the industry for fifty years--first undertook the project of recording its history, many viewed it as a light-weight literary task concerned mainly with "entertainment" trivia. Indeed, trivia such as that found in quiz programs do appear in the book, but Barnouw views them as part of a complex social tapestry that increasingly defines our era. To understand our century, we must fully comprehend the evolution of television and its newest extraordinary offshoots. With this fact in mind, Barnouw's new edition of Tube of Plenty explores the development and impact of the latest dramatic phases of the communications revolution. Since the first publication of this invaluable history of television and how it has shaped, and been shaped by, American culture and society, many significant changes have occurred. Assessing the importance of these developments in a new chapter, Barnouw specifically covers the decline of the three major networks, the expansion of cable and satellite television and film channels such as HBO (Home Box Office), the success of channels catering to special audiences such as ESPN (Entertainment and Sports Programming Network) and MTV (Music Television), and the arrival of VCRs in America's living rooms. He also includes an appendix entitled "questions for a new millennium," which will challenge readers not only to examine the shape of television today, but also to envision its future.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This book is the result of a study in which the authors identified all of the American women who earned PhD's in mathematics before 1940, and collected extensive biographical and bibliographical information about each of them. By reconstructing as complete a picture as possible of this group of women, Green and LaDuke reveal insights into the larger scientific and cultural communities in which they lived and worked." "The book contains an extended introductory essay, as well as biographical entries for each of the 228 women in the study. The authors examine family backgrounds, education, careers, and other professional activities. They show that there were many more women earning PhD's in mathematics before 1940 than is commonly thought." "The material will be of interest to researchers, teachers, and students in mathematics, history of mathematics, history of science, women's studies, and sociology."--BOOK JACKET.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKParents will do almost anything to get their kids to eat healthier, but unfortunately, they've found that begging, pleading, threatening, and bribing don't work. With their patience wearing thin, parents will "give in" for the sake of family peace, and reach for "kiddie" favorites-often nutritionally inferior choices such as fried fish sticks, mac n' cheese, Pop-sicles, and cookies. Missy Chase Lapine, former publisher of Eating Well magazine, faced the same challenges with her two young daughters, and she sought a solution. Now in The Sneaky Chef, Lapine presents over 75 recipes that ingeniously disguise the most important superfoods inside kids' favorite meals. With the addition of a few simple make-ahead purees or clever replacements, (some may surprise you!) parents can pack more fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants in their kids' foods. Examples of "Sneaky" recipes include: No Harm Chicken Parm Power Pizza Incognito Burritos Guerilla Grilled Cheese Brainy Brownies Health-by-Chocolate Cookies Quick fixes for Jell-O(R)

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Baby Boomers grew up to be a baffling mix of idealism, creativity, selfishness, destruction and other contradictions. They overturned morality, multiplied social pathologies, and attacked Western civilization. Yet the Boomers were raised by "The Greatest Generation," the generation that saw America through the Second World War, fighting and dying to rescue that civilization. What happened? Margaret Devlin, a Boomer, born in the 1950s, uses her own life to show us what happened - and how and why. She introduces us to her high-achieving Catholic family and, from her journals and other primary sources, she recounts the story of developing neuroses, as corruption from within and without set in motion destructive forces. Devlin's adventurous life is the main plot, as restless quests usher her into many experiences with fellow leftist Boomers around the globe, until events lead her to consider for the first time conservative ideas. To her amazement, they make sense. The family's and friends' stories are also an introduction to a deeper inquiry into parallel developments in the society, into ideas and their consequences, into how social engineering set to work on the Boomers, beginning with the child rearing that formed the adults they became. Devlin discloses the hidden engines that drove the corrupting and destabilizing of a generation. She exposes people behind social engineering, the hidden planners who set out to surreptitiously plant secularizing and leftist ideas, manipulate and unhinge minds, capitalize on human frailties, and guide a whole people to an end that they - not the individuals involved - determined. Boomers' Families seeks to wrest some good from the Boomers' story by using it to show how great is the power of unseen manipulators. But while it exposes mechanisms that the "invisible elite" use to control the unaware, it also shows that the human soul, with God's help, can uncover and resist this manipulation in order to live as a free, emotionally mature human being, following God's way of love and truth and not that of an arrogant, deceptive and error-ridden elite. Knowledge is power, and recognizing social engineering is the key to withstanding it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOne can obtain as many opinions about television as there are people with eyes. No two people see it in exactly the same way. You may not be aware of it, but up there, in that compartment of your brain where memories are stored, all sorts of strange images are stockpiled. The purpose of this book is to coax those memories out of their hiding places and bring them front and center, where you can savor them anew. Although this book is intended to be a comprehensive review of television during the past twenty years-the two decades that have passed since the medium became a commercial reality- it is not to be just a scholarly history. The programs and people represented here were chosen not because they were "good" or "popular" or "successful," but because each contributed, in some large or small way, to the progress of television.
