Jonathan Schwartz
All in Good Time : A Memoir

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description All in Good Time is a luminous memoir about growing up in the shadow of the golden age of songwriting and Sinatra, from the celebrated radio personality and novelist Jonathan Schwartz. “Dancing in the Dark.” “That’s Entertainment.” “By Myself.” “You and the Night and the Music.” They are part of the American Songbook, and were all composed by Arthur Schwartz, the elusive father at the center of his son’s beautifullywritten book. Imagine a childhood in which Judy Garland sings you lullabies, Jackie Robinson hits you fly balls, and yet you’re lonely enough to sneak into the houses of Beverly Hills neighbors and hide behind curtains to watch real families at dinner. At the age of nine, Jonathan Schwartz began broadcasting his father’s songs on a homemade radio station, and would eventually perform those songs, and others, as a pianist-singer in the saloons of London and Paris,… [detailed...]

Description: Almost all careers in the 21st century require a working knowledge of science and mathematics, says Steve Metz, The Science Teacher field editor, in his introduction to All in a Day`s Work, 2nd edition.

Ida M. Tarbell
All in the Day`s Work: An Autobiography

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn this frank and informative autobiography, the veteran investigative journalist Ida M. Tarbell looks back on her nearly fifty-year career. At the age of eighty-two, one of the original muckrakers writes with her characteristic candor about a life spent defying categories and challenging complacency. Tarbell was the only woman in her class of forty students at Allegheny College, and upon graduation she began an internship at The Chautauquan, which was the start of a lifelong immersion in the world of journalism. She further honed her skills during a three-year stint in Paris, but the breakthrough came in 1894 when she was hired as a full-time writer for McClure`s magazine. It was at McClure`s--where, again, she was the only woman on staff--that Tarbell made her name as a determined journalist, one of the fearless brigade of truth-seekers famously chastised by Theodore Roosevelt, who coined the term `muckraker` in order to discredit those who attacked senators… [detailed...]

All the Available Light: A Marilyn Monroe Reader

2002 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Forty years after her death, one would think that enough had been written about Marilyn Monroe to satisfy even the most avid fan. Yet here is another book that looks at the legacy of this icon. McDonough, author of a forthcoming novel (The Four Temperaments) and, ironically, a tribute to the Barbie doll, has gathered together 17 essays by authors past and present who muse on Marilyn as cultural icon, sex goddess, victim, and actress. Joyce Carol Oates (`Centerfold`) and Gloria Steinem (`The Woman Who Will Not Die`) share these pages with Sir Laurence Olivier (`The Prince and the Showgirl`) and Clare Booth Luce (`The Love Goddess Who Never Found Love`). Some of these pieces were previously published, some were excerpted from longer works, and some were written for this collection. At times, it is difficult to tell which have been previously published and where, McDonough would have done well to list this information along with the piece itself instead of in the introductions to each… [detailed...]

All the Mighty World : The Photographs of Roger Fenton, 1852-1860 (Metropolitan Museum of Art Series)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionRoger Fenton (1819-1869) was England’s most celebrated and influential photographer during the 1850s, the “golden age” of this radically new medium. Fenton’s majestic pictures of cathedrals, country houses, and varied countryside were without peer in England—as were his views of the royal castles and Houses of Parliament that embodied Britain’s power. But Fenton’s choice of subjects ranged more widely still: he was among the first to photograph the Kremlin and other landmarks of Moscow and Kiev, he was commissioned in 1855 to document the Crimean War, producing early war photographs, and he created theatrical Orientalist costume pictures and a startling series of lush still lifes. Fenton had first studied law and painting, but soon after he took up the camera he was making photographs that were technically superb and highly original in their handling of composition, perspective, atmosphere, and light. Always he strove… [detailed...]
