Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the true story about a well-educated woman, who is a mother, a professional writer and a newspaper editor. When she obtains a writers' grant to the US, she finds herself medically kidnapped by her trusted family. This book begins shortly after her arrival from the US where she tries again to find peace and love amidst continual stalking by her ex-husband and rich suitor, intrigues, email spying, and phone tapping. Betrayed by those she thought she could trust, she no longer knows who to trust in her struggle to escape back to the US. Her editorial job at a newspaper is eliminated upon her return. She is resilient and keeps going with freelance opportunities. Her trusted family then cuts off all access to her money at the business which she co-owns. Her elderly 'suitor', who wanted to portray her protector, dies and his son then pursues her with romantic intentions. This twisted chain of events creates disillusionment and visions of gross mistrust with respect to who can really help her. Rendering her powerless seems to be the "name of the game" where she will have to depend on someone of greater power to rescue her. Her female writer friends aid her in finding a safe and secure place as well as a network to sort out all these 'false intentions' of various characters. A sequel to The Caging of Kassandra, Kassandra hold on to her lifeline in the internet, hoping for destiny to be stronger than all that conspire to hold her down.

Download or read book Gaslight Melodrama written by Guy Barefoot and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1945, a year when American crime films were apparently moving out on to the streets of contemporary Los Angeles and New York, one reviewer noted the emergence of a 'cycle of mystery and horror pictures placed in the gaslight era of the turn of the century.' For another critic, it seemed that for Hollywood there was 'no world of today save the world of London by gaslight'. In Gaslight Melodrama, Guy Barefoot examines the films that gave rise to such comments, and the pattern of discourse that gave rise to such films. The book's main focus is provided by 1940s Hollywood melodramas such as Gaslight, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Hangover Square. It also discusses a related cycle of British films that located murder and melodrama in Victorian or Edwardian settings, and then looks beyond cinema to the Gothic novels of the 18th century, 19th century discussions of gas lighting in street, home and theatre, and ambivalent 20th century responses to the Victorian era. Combining close analysis of particular film texts with attention to cinema's cultural context, Gaslight Melodrama provides an exploration of the ways in which the past has been the site of contested meaning, and an examination of the network of melodramatic narratives embedded within familiar and lesser-known examples of classical Hollywood cinema.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early twentieth century, St. Louis was a hotbed for ragtime and blues, both roots of jazz music. In 1914, Jelly Roll Morton brought his music to the area. In 1919, Louis Armstrong came to town to play on the "floating conservatories" that plied the Mississippi. Miles Davis, the most famous of the city's jazz natives, changed the course of the genre four different times throughout a world-renowned career. The Black Artists Group of the 1970s was one of the first to bring world music practices into jazz. Author Dennis C. Owsley chronicles the ways both local and national St. Louis musicians have contributed to the city and to the world of music.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vancouver's streetscapes and neighbourhoods have changed drastically in recent years. New buildings representing current architectural trends are mixing with and often replacing those of earlier eras and tastes, and a maturing architectrual melange is emerging. This book invites the reader to explore the city's continually evolving urban landscape in a highly readable, yet authoritative, guide to its architecture. In this completely updated edition of Exploring Vancouver, with brand-new entries and accompanying photographs, Harold Kalman and Robin Ward have divided the city (including the North Shore, Richmond, Burnaby and New Westminster) into fourteen areas, selecting buildings and structures in these neighbourhoods that represent the best exakmples of the new and old architecture. Each area is preceded by an informative introduction that provides historical context for the entries that follow. There are over 400 entries, each featuring a short description that combines architectural, historical and social commentary. The prose is lively as the authors consider the new and the old, the modest and the grand, the attractive and the not-so-attractive in a wide-ranging work that encompasses everything from heritage to "monster" homes. This book is designed as a walking tour guide, with a map of each area showing the location of every entry.
