Smoke and Mirrors

2006 y.
Publisher: DAW
Description: Poor Tony Foster with his burgeoning wizardly powers. No matter how many times he and his undead ex-boyfriend battle malevolent spirits to save the cast and crew of Darkest Night (the most popular vampire detective TV series in North America), everyone else on the set regards him as only a lowly production assistant. Having fended off evil shadows from another world (in 2004`s Smoke and Shadows ), Tony now has to contend with filming haunted house scenes in a house that`s actually haunted. When all the doors slam shut, he finds himself trapped with ghosts repeatedly reenacting their deaths, his painfully cynical and egotistical colleagues and—worst of all—the boss`s bratty daughters. Huff delights in simultaneously bringing out the worst and best of her characters, and she`s really found her stride here. Underneath the supernatural trappings and the nonstop wisecracks is a whodunit full of devious plot twists and genuine character development, and the fine-tuned mockery… [detailed...]

Smokers and Sleepers : Photographs by Jerome Mallmann (Elvehjem Museum Art Catalogs)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionPhotographer Jerome Mallmann has captured images of New Yorkers in unguarded moments since the late 1960s. Images in this exhibition organized by the Elvehjem Museum of Art (now the Chazen Museum of Art) show a dispossessed population, those driven or escaping to the streets of New York to indulge in the compulsion to smoke or the need to sleep. The works are the result of twenty years of photography, always with small cameras, fast film, and without a flash, in order to intrudeas little as possible into subjects` lives. Candid and spontaneous, the photographs capture the complex rituals and terrifying realities of life on the streets of New York. Distributed for the Chazen Museum of Art, University of Wisconsin–Madison [detailed...]

Robert Sabbag
Smokescreen: A True Adventure

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comThis is a story from the long-ago days of Colombian marijuana smuggling--long ago, because most of the pot now smoked in the United States is grown domestically, and the top narcotics import from Colombia is cocaine. Author Robert Sabbag tells the tale of Allen Long, who got involved in this unsavory business in the 1970s because he wanted to provide high-quality cannabis for his buddies and also for the sheer adventure of it. Some readers will find Long a disconcerting protagonist--he`s a drugsmuggler, after all--though it may appeal to advocates of drug legalization and readers of High Times . Sabbag essentially romanticizes Long`s activities, such as when he writes about the `rather consoling absence of gunplay` that marked the business of marijuana smuggling in its primitive past. The storytelling is adequate, but parts of Loaded are plainly padded. Here`s a bit of sample dialogue: `This is really great pot.` `You like that?` `I don`t think I`ve ever smoked… [detailed...]

Smoking Cessation With Weight Gain Prevention: A Group Program: Facilitator Guide (Treatments That Work)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Cigarette smoking is the single greatest preventable cause of death, disease, and disability in the United States. It is the number one cancer killer of women, surpassing breast cancer. More than 70% of smokers have expressed a desire to quit, but are unable to do so alone. Independent cessation is extremely difficult, with a long-term success rate of 3-9%.Couple this difficulty with the fact that many female (and some male) smokers do not even try to quit because they are afraid of the resulting weight gain, and it seems a near impossibility for smokers to quit alone. Any amount of counseling, from even one ten-minute session, drastically improves a person`s chances for cessation success. Many therapists have clients who smoke, yet they do not encourage them to quit because they feel under-equipped to help them. There are very few books for mental health workers that teach smoking cessation techniques, almost all of the books on the market are self-help based. Of those that are… [detailed...]

Robert Tavernor
Smoot`s Ear: The Measure of Humanity

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Measures are the subject of this unusual book, in which Robert Tavernor offers a fascinating account of the various measuring systems human beings have devised over two millennia. Tavernor urges us to look beyond the notion that measuring is strictly a scientific activity, divorced from human concerns. Instead, he sets measures and measuring in cultural context and shows how deeply they are connected to human experience and history. The book explores changing attitudes toward measure, focusing on key moments in art, sculpture, architecture, philosophy, and the development of scientific thought. It encompasses the journey of Western civilization from the construction of the Great Pyramid to the first manned flight to the moon. Beginning with a review of early measuring standards that referred to the feet and inches of ideal bodies, the book then tracks how Enlightenment interest in a truly scientific system of measure led to the creation of the metric system. This “rational” approach… [detailed...]

Smooth Operators

2007 y.
Publisher: Universe
Description: Fashion is a fickle friend. Smooth Operator is an anti-style bible that catalogs (and celebrates) the very worst male fashion trends of the 70`s and 80`s. It is studded with . . . `studs` photographed in their natural habitat of cool bars, poolside lounge chairs, hopelessly fuel-inefficient sports cars, and . . . er, menswear catalogs. This pictorial celebration charts the changing fashion trends adorned by the hunks who were `macho, macho men` at a time when the Village People were chart toppers. Later, they were the Aqua Velva men with the latest in velour track suits, and ultimately they graduated to the white Miami Vice lounge-suit without socks and big hair. Today`s waxed and moisturized `metrosexual` will be agape at the copious display of chest hair on the `smooth operators` featured in underwear styles now deemed to be causes of impotence. Nylon no-wrinkle leisure suits, kimono-style sleepwear, chest hair revealing one-piece lounge wear, the vicissitudes of hairstyles, slip-on… [detailed...]

Snake Oil, Hustlers and Hambones: The American Medicine Show

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionLong before television and radio commercials beckoned to potential buyers, the medicine show provided free entertainment and promised cures for everything from corns to cancer. Combining elements of the circus, theater, vaudeville, and good old-fashioned entrepreneurship, the showmen of the American medicine show sold tonics, ointments, pills, extracts and a host of other `wonder-cures,` guaranteed to `cure what ails you.` While the cures were seldom miraculous, the medicine show was an important part of American culture and of performance history. Harry Houdini, Buster Keaton, and P.T. Barnum all took a turn upon the medicine show stage. This study of the medicine show phenomenon surveys nineteenth century popular entertainment and provides insight into the ways in which show business, advertising, and medicine manufacture developed in concert. The colorful world of the medicine show, with its Wild West shows, pie-eating contests, clowns, and menageries, is fully… [detailed...]
