Roald Dahl
Someone Like You

2009 y.
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd.
Description: Try a refreshing `Dip in the Pool` and savour the delights of `Skin`, follow `Galloping Foxley` and sample a little `Poison`. This collection, one of Roald Dahl`s earliest, is guaranteed to appeal to `Someone Like You`. In the opening story, `Taste`, the stakes of a dinner-party bet reach distasteful heights, and a wife serves up a new dish in `Lamb to the Slaughter` which goes down well with the boys in blue. Layers of deceit are stripped away in `Nunc Dimittis`, but what is revealed is far from honest. Meanwhile the `Man from the South` questions whether you really do need the little finger on your left hand…? Vendettas and desperate quests, bitter memories and sordid fantasies thwarted - here are fifteen reasons why Roald Dahl is the master of the short story. [detailed...]

Vincent Brook
Something Ain`t Kosher Here: The Rise of the `Jewish` Sitcom

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFrom 1989 through 2002 there was an unprecedented surge in American sitcoms featuring explicitly Jewish protagonists, thirty-three compared to seven in the previous forty years. Several of these?Seinfeld, Mad About You, The Nanny, and Friends?were among the most popular and influential of all television shows over this period. Viewers also saw a rising number of `Jewish` dramatic series and Jewish supporting characters overall. Vincent Brook asks two key questions: Why has this trend appeared at this particular historical moment and what is the significance of this phenomenon for Jews and for non-Jews? Interviews with key writers, producers, and `showrunners` such as David Kohan (Will and Grace), Marta Kauffman (Friends),Peter Mehlman and Carol Leifer (Seinfeld) and close readings of individual series provoke the inescapable conclusion that we have entered uncharted `post-Jewish` territory. Brook contends that the acceptance of Jews in mainstream white… [detailed...]

Something Incredibly Wonderful Happens: Frank Oppenheimer and the world he made up

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: As a young man Frank Oppenheimer followed in his famous brother s footsteps growing up in a privileged Manhattan household, becoming a physicist, working on the atomic bomb. Tragically, Frank and Robert both had their careers destroyed by the Red Scare. But their paths diverged. While Robert died an almost ruined man, Frank came into his own, emerging from ten years of exile on a Colorado ranch to create not just a multimillion dollar institution but also a revolution that was felt all over the world. His Exploratorium was a `museum of human awareness` that combined art and science while it encouraged play, experimentation, and a sense of joy and wonder, its success inspired a transformation in museums around the globe. In many ways it was Frank s answer to the atom bomb. K. C. Cole a friend and colleague of Frank s for many years has drawn from letters, documents, and extensive interviews to write a very personal story of the man whose irrepressible spirit would inspire so many.

Something More: Reflections on a Bountiful Life

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Something More by Alexander Kalenak, M.D. is a remarkable personal history of a WW II childhood, a pioneering career in sports medicine, and a life seeking the true meanings of medical care and spiritual faith. As a young boy hungry for knowledge, Alexander Kalenak played dirt lot baseball, shined shoes, delivered newspapers, and worshipped his older brothers speeding along in the family`s 1940 Buick. All this and more took place in a quintessential American landscape: a Pennsylvania coal mining town. In this memoir, Kalenak describes how his love of learning carried him into a career as a modern physician-scientist. He became an orthopedic surgeon just as sports medicine emerged as a field of specialty and he moved his young family to Hershey, Pennsylvania, to pursue the dream of being team physician for the Penn State Nittany Lions. For twenty-two years, he pioneered new surgical techniques and cared for countless football players and other athletes. Dr. K, or `Coach K,` as he was… [detailed...]

Something To Believe In: Politics, Professionalism and Cause Lawyering

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionLawyers in the United States are frequently described as `hired guns,` willing to fight for any client and advance any interest. Claiming that their own beliefs are irrelevant to their work, they view lawyering as a technical, not a moral or political, activity. But there are others, those the authors call cause lawyers, who refuse to put aside their own convictions while they do their legal work. This `deviant` strain of lawyering is as significant as it is controversial both in thelegal profession and in the world of politics. It challenges mainstream ideas of what lawyers should do and of how they should behave. Human rights lawyers, feminist lawyers, right to life lawyers, civil rights and civil liberties lawyers, anti-deathpenalty lawyers, environmental lawyers, property rights lawyers, anti-poverty lawyers?cause lawyers go by many names, serving many causes. `Something to Believe In` explores the work that cause lawyers do, the role of moral and… [detailed...]

Brian Tracy
Something for Nothing: The All-Consuming Desire that Turns the American Dream into a Social Nightmare

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: America`s greatness comes from people working hard to fulfill their dreams. But today that greatness is being undermined by people using the government to steal other people`s dreams (and money). Rather than participate and innovate in the marketplace, generating goods and services that benefit society, people are increasingly vying for political advantage to live at the expense of others. Something for Nothing reveals the social and personal threats inherent in this emerging `grabbing match` culture, juxtaposing free-market virtues against government vices, explaining how the something-for-nothing mentality corrupts the political system, undermines corporate success, and stifles the individual`s ability to prosper and contribute long-term to society. More than exposing the dangers, however, Tracy helps readers set a personal and culture-wide agenda for change. [detailed...]

Something in the Air: Radio, Rock, and the Revolution That Shaped a Generation

2007 y.
Publisher: Random House
Description: A sweeping, anecdotal account of the great sounds and voices of radio–and how it became a bonding agent for a generation of American youth When television became the next big thing in broadcast entertainment, everyone figured video would kill the radio star–and radio, period. But radio came roaring back with a whole new concept. The war was over, the baby boom was on, the country was in clover, and a bold new beat was giving the syrupy songs of yesteryear a run for their money. Add transistors, 45 rpm records, and a young man named Elvis to the mix, and the result was the perfect storm that rocked, rolled, and reinvented radio. Visionary entrepreneurs like Todd Storz pioneered the Top 40 concept, which united a generation. But it took trendsetting “disc jockeys” like Alan Freed, Murray the K, Wolfman Jack, Cousin Brucie, and their fast-talking, too-cool-for-school counterparts across the land to turn time, temperature, and the same irresistible… [detailed...]
