Bill Ballou, Foreword by Peter Golenbock
Behind the Green Monster: Red Sox Myths, Legends, and Lore

2009 y.
Publisher:
Description: Separate Red Sox Facts from Fiction Johnny Pesky never hit a ball off the foul pole named for him. Bill Mueller--not Dave Roberts--was the key to Boston`s ninth-inning rally against the Yankees in Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS. Bill Buckner is hardly to blame for Boston`s Game 6 loss in the 1986 World Series. And, yes, Ted Williams almost certainly did hit a ball off the head of someone sitting 37 rows deep in the right-field bleachers. Few baseball franchises boast the complex mixture of myths, legends, and lore that characterize the storied history of the Boston Red Sox. In Behind the Green Monster, veteran newspaperman Bill Ballou sets the stories straight and separates the unforgettable facts from colorful fiction. [detailed...]

And that included being prepared to marry the son of a business associate of the family. Fifteen years later?long after she`d hitch-hiked to Los Angeles, long after she`d worked nights to put herself through college, and long after she`d written her first best seller, No Place For Family?Jacqueline is persuaded to go back to the tiny town of Pine Springs after her father`s death.

Behind the Pink Curtain: The Complete History of Japanese Sex Cinema

2008 y.
Publisher: FAB Press
Description: Behind the Pink Curtain takes the reader on a wild joy ride deep into the hinterlands of Japanese culture, society and radical politics by way of the weird but wonderful world of the Pink Film and Roman Porno genres. Behind the Pink Curtain focuses on the art and industry of one of the most notorious sectors of Japanese filmmaking, the erotic Pink Film, or pinku eiga genre, and the closely related Roman Porno films produced by Nikkatsu studios from 1971 to 1988. A phenomenon distinct from the cheaply-produced hardcore Adult Video (AV) market, from the early 60s onwards major Japanese film studios and independent producers alike have kept up a conveyor belt level of output of pornographic features intended purely for cinema release. Still today, just short of 100 such titles are shot on 35mm every year intended for screening in a specialist network of adult cinema across the nation. In recent years, many have found themselves released on DVD in the West or screened at international [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionThis sequel to the very successful `Behind with the Laundry and Living off Chocolate,` Lynette Allen`s newest book addresses the fact that for women the underlying causes of financial problems very often has nothing to do with money and everything to do with being in charge of their lives and emotions. When a woman feels down or troubled, a bit of retail therapy can provide a temporary salve and give a quick lift.Then, like a sugar surge, it`s back to reality as the bills pile up. Using Lynette Allen`s short tips, women of any age can discover alternative and more constructive ways of getting that high and holding on to it, permanently. Included along with the book is a CD of inspirational tips for women. Although this book does include strategies to help sort out a woman`s finances, it is not so much a book about controlling funds as it is a book that shows how to build up an inner bank of emotional resources to remove the need to buy, buy, and buy some more.

In the contrasting images of the past--model workers, Great Leap Forward parades, East German state visits, Big Character Posters --and today`s images--contemporary art exhibitions, rock and roll concerts, artist studios, galleries, and restaurants--this book bears witness to the birth and becoming [detailed...]
