Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of Beyond Jennifer & Jason, the bestseller that revolutionized baby naming, offer the last word on the perfect first name. Hope is hot, Hortense is not-- at last, here's what parents really need to know before naming a baby. For years you knew what to expect from a baby-name book: a long, dull list of names with their dictionary definitions. All that changed with Beyond Jennifer & Jason-- the groundbreaking book on styles and trends in baby names that has been called "the best baby-naming book ever written" (The News Journal). Now Rosenkrantz and Satran return with an all-new baby-name guide that is destined to become a classic. Like other books, it's packed with entries on girls' and boys' names from A to Z, but no one else gives you the inside story on names: why the world has all the Ashleys it needs, why everyone loves Emily, and why you should or should not call your son Ishmael. Drawing on sources as diverse as ancient myths, current TV series, the Bible, and world literature, The Last Word on First Names is a readable, witty, and illuminating guide to the real-world meaning of Miranda, Max, and thousands of other names from Abigail to Zelig. No one should name a baby without this book.

Download or read book Terrorism 1992 1995 written by Edward F. Mickolus and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1997 with total page 988 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the author's fifth chronology on international terrorism. The volumes cover the period from 1968 through 1995, and provide the most comprehensive picture of international terrorist activities ever published. As with the last four volumes, this one also contains a bibliography on the key literature on the topic. Terrorism in the period covered by this volume, 1992 to 1995, followed many of the trends seen in the previous two decades. While most people recall the spectacular events, those were infrequent due in part to the security cooperation of like-minded governments. Most terrorist events were low-level bombings with few casualties. But the period saw the advent of a new type of terrorist non-group. Composed of small, loosely organized bands of zealots with widespread contacts, they have made combatting terrorism all the more difficult. Given the problems of tracing groups and uncovering patterns, this volume will be invaluable for scholars and researchers involved with contemporary nationalism, fundamentalist groups, and international terrorism.

Download or read book Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle written by Robert Young and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1994-06-14 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle had an interesting and varied career as a vaudeville monologist, musical comedy star, and silent film comedian, writer, director, and producer. He was also the subject of scandal, having been accused of rape and murder in 1921. Though he was never indicted on these charges and was acquitted of manslaughter, his reputation was tarnished and the incident is alluded to even today. This book draws upon extensive research to provide an objective record of his life and work. The biography portion of the volume overviews Arbuckle's many accomplishments and sheds light on his controversial life. Much of the material in the book comes from exclusive sources, such as the tape-recorded memoirs of Arbuckle's first wife and the author's recent, lengthy correspondence with the comedian's third wife and widow. Also included are two interviews with Arbuckle from 1916 and 1931, and a 1931 article about the path of his career after his scandal. The bulk of the volume provides entries for Arbuckle's theater and film work. These entries provide cast listings, plot summaries, and critical commentary. An extensive annotated bibliography lists books and articles of additional interest.
