Download or read book Natural Selection written by Gary Giddins and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long recognized as America's most brilliant jazz writer, the winner of many major awards--including the prestigious National Book Critics Circle Award--and author of a highly popular biography of Bing Crosby, Gary Giddins has also produced a wide range of stimulating and original cultural criticism in other fields. With Natural Selection, he brings together the best of these previously uncollected essays, including a few written expressly for this volume. The range of topics is spellbinding. Writing with insight, humor, and a famously deft touch, he offers sharp-edged perspectives on such diverse subjects as Federico Fellini and Jean Renoir, Norman Mailer and Ralph Ellison, Marlon Brando and Groucho Marx, Duke Ellington and Bob Dylan, horror and noir, the cartoon version of Animal Farm and the comic book series Classics Illustrated. Giddins brings to criticism an uncommon ability, long demonstrated in his music writing, to address in very few words an entire career, so that we get an in-depth portrait of the artist beyond the film, book, or recording under review. For instance, Giddins offers a stunning reappraisal of Doris Day, who he terms "the coolest and sexiest female singer of slow ballads in film history." He argues eloquently for a reconsideration of the forgotten German-language novelist Soma Morgenstern. In a section on comedy, he offers fresh perspectives on the three great silent film stars--Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd--while resurrecting the legendary Jack Benny and reevaluating the controversial Jerry Lewis. There's also a memorable look at Bing Crosby's film career (he calls Crosby's blockbuster Going My Way "a neglected masterpiece") and a close examination of Marcel Carne's beloved Children of Paradise. Of course, Giddins also supplies excellent commentary on jazz: major and underrated figures, and especially the uses of jazz in film. A wonderful gathering of little-known treasures, Natural Selection will broaden the perception of Gary Giddins as one of our most important cultural critics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Testing to Assessment: English as an International Language provides a critical review of conventional and alternative approaches to the assessment of English literacy skills in various parts of the world. It presents empirical studies conducted in three major settings: in countries such as Japan and Brazil where English functions as the language of international commernce; in multilingual countries such as Nigeria and Zimbabwe where English is the national language of education and government; and in such countries as Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States where English is the dominant language. The book opens with a discussion of language assessment in relation to debates about the nature of literacy; it concludes with a discussion of policy implications, which is grounded in literacy theory as well as in practical constraints such as available human and material resources.

Book excerpt: Benny, a bear, used to live in the beautiful and lush Greenleaf Forest. There, the trees had leaves that went up to the sky and the sound of birds singing filled the air. He was different from the other bears in the woods. Many bears spent their days playing in the river and looking for honey, but Benny wasn't like them. He was different from his animal friends because of the gift he had. This young bear could hear the words in the trees and the sounds in the sky. Before the ground shook from an earthquake or the clouds cleared to bring rain, Benny knew it was coming. He seemed to understand the language of nature, which is a language only spoken by the earth and the sky. A dark cloud showed up in the sky much faster than anyone thought it would. The animals in the forest were busy with their daily jobs and didn't notice that danger was coming. But Benny knew something wasn't right. It was supposed to rain, and he was afraid that his friends might get wet while they were playing in the afternoon. Right away, Benny gave everyone a warning and told them to hide. Thanks to Benny, they were all able to hide in a nearby cave. Outside, they watched in awe as the rain turned the forest into a shimmering, pouring beauty. Even though it was storming outside, Benny's friends were thankful for him. They were amazed at how well he could tell the weather. In that moment, Benny had an epiphany while standing in the dark cave with his friends, who were warm and comfortable. This amazing ability to see what would happen in nature before it happened wasn't a rare quirk; it was his talent. It was a great tool that could be used to protect and help people from the mood swings that happen naturally. It was clear to Benny that his unique link to the land and sky was both a gift and a duty. He chose not to hide this gift any longer, as if it were a valuable find. Benny, on the other hand, decided to use his skill to protect the people who lived in the bush. In his ideal world, no animal would be caught off guard by a storm, all species would be able to find cover before the ground shook, and people would help each other out when things got tough. After that day, Benny wasn't just a young bear living in the Greenleaf Forest. He changed into a protector, a friend all over the world, and a sign of hope. The gift he had went from being a small part of his life to a goal. Benny, the one-of-a-kind bear who could see disasters coming, was ready to go on an adventure beyond his wildest dreams to help people and make the world a better place for his family in the forest. Chapter 2: Making a Choice. It made Benny feel confused when he found out how talented he was. He was aware of his wonderful abilities and was eager to find ways to use them to make the world a better place. The little bear chose to tell his parents, who were the two animals he trusted the most, what was going on. It was warm in their den, and the smells of dirt and pine made them feel at ease when Benny told them his secret. He talked about how he could tell when the sky was about to storm, or the ground was about to shake. His parents listened carefully, and the respect and pride in their big eyes showed. They knew their son was different from other kids, but they were shocked to learn of his amazing ability. When Benny was done talking, there was a quiet that made it sound like the forest was listening. Then his parents said something reasonable and encouraging. These people told Benny that his skill was very important and could be used to protect and save many lives. They told him to think about what was best for everyone and be careful when using his skill. Benny felt like he had a purpose and was sure of himself because they believed in him. He decided that keeping within the safe boundaries of Greenleaf Forest wasn't enough. The whole world was better off because of his special skill. With his brave heart and the light of his parents' love for him, Benny made a choice that would change his life forever. He chose to leave the safety of his home and go for a walk in the woods where he had grown up. Benny knew the trip that was coming up would not be easy. He found out that the world outside of Greenleaf Forest was very big, very dangerous, and full of places he had never been before. Still, he felt strong when he thought about helping others, staying safe, and preventing harm. He pictured telling people and animals about impending disasters so they could get ready and avoid harm and fear. After Benny made this choice, his life changed in a new way. He had grown from a young bear with a special skill to a defender with a mission, a light of hope in a world that was mostly dark and cruel. On his way, Benny knew he would meet strange people, some of whom would be nice and some of whom would be mean. He also knew that he would face challenges that would test his bravery and determination. But Benny was ready. He had a lot of amazing skills and a strong desire to make the world a better place. He was ready to leave the safe confines of Greenleaf Forest, share his gift with the world, and go on a trip to help people in need by giving them safety and hope. He was brave and determined when he made this choice, which would take him on a journey he could never have imagined. Chapter 3: The first expedition. Benny set out on his first trip with mixed feelings of excitement and fear. He had a big goal in mind. The goal was to find a town close to the Greenleaf Forest line where people lived with animals and didn't know how dangerous things they were above. Benny could feel it: a wake-up call from nature that the water was rising and that there would be a storm that would destroy everything in its way. When Benny got to the settlement, he walked quickly and with purpose. It was a beautiful area, with homes spread out like brushstrokes on a lush painting. The people who lived there were calm and simple, unaware of the disaster that was about to happen

Download or read book Passing Game written by Murray Greenberg and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2008-11-04 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benny Friedman, the son of working class immigrants in Cleveland's Jewish ghetto, arrived at the University of Michigan and transformed the game of football forever. At the time, in the 1920s, football was a dull, grinding running game, and the forward pass was a desperation measure. Benny would change all of that. In Ann Arbor, the rookie quarterback's passing abilities so eclipsed those of other players that legendary coach Fielding Yost came back from retirement to coach him. The other college teams had no answer for Friedman's passing attack. He then went pro -- an unpopular decision at a time when the NFL was the poor stepchild to college football -- and was equally sensational, eventually signing with the New York Giants for an unprecedented 10,000, bringing fans and attention to the fledgling NFL. Passing Game rediscovers this little-known sports hero and tells the story of Friedman's evolution from upstart to American celebrity, in a vivid narrative that will delight and enlighten football fans of all ages.

Download or read book Last Boat Out of Shanghai written by Helen Zia and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic real life stories of four young people caught up in the mass exodus of Shanghai in the wake of China’s 1949 Communist revolution—a heartrending precursor to the struggles faced by emigrants today. “A true page-turner . . . [Helen] Zia has proven once again that history is something that happens to real people.”—New York Times bestselling author Lisa See NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR • FINALIST FOR THE PEN/JACQUELINE BOGRAD WELD AWARD FOR BIOGRAPHY Shanghai has historically been China’s jewel, its richest, most modern and westernized city. The bustling metropolis was home to sophisticated intellectuals, entrepreneurs, and a thriving middle class when Mao’s proletarian revolution emerged victorious from the long civil war. Terrified of the horrors the Communists would wreak upon their lives, citizens of Shanghai who could afford to fled in every direction. Seventy years later, members of the last generation to fully recall this massive exodus have revealed their stories to Chinese American journalist Helen Zia, who interviewed hundreds of exiles about their journey through one of the most tumultuous events of the twentieth century. From these moving accounts, Zia weaves together the stories of four young Shanghai residents who wrestled with the decision to abandon everything for an uncertain life as refugees in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the United States. Benny, who as a teenager became the unwilling heir to his father’s dark wartime legacy, must decide either to escape to Hong Kong or navigate the intricacies of a newly Communist China. The resolute Annuo, forced to flee her home with her father, a defeated Nationalist official, becomes an unwelcome exile in Taiwan. The financially strapped Ho fights deportation from the U.S. in order to continue his studies while his family struggles at home. And Bing, given away by her poor parents, faces the prospect of a new life among strangers in America. The lives of these men and women are marvelously portrayed, revealing the dignity and triumph of personal survival. Herself the daughter of immigrants from China, Zia is uniquely equipped to explain how crises like the Shanghai transition affect children and their families, students and their futures, and, ultimately, the way we see ourselves and those around us. Last Boat Out of Shanghai brings a poignant personal angle to the experiences of refugees then and, by extension, today. “Zia’s portraits are compassionate and heartbreaking, and they are, ultimately, the universal story of many families who leave their homeland as refugees and find less-than-welcoming circumstances on the other side.”—Amy Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club

Download or read book The End of My Life written by Vance Bourjaily and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vance Bourjaily’s classic novel of World War II dramatizes an entire generation’s loss of innocence When Thomas “Skinner” Galt leaves Greenwich Village to volunteer as an ambulance driver with the British Army, he anticipates the adventure of a lifetime. What he fails to understand is that no matter where he comes from or how many books he has read, once he dons a military uniform, his life will cease to be his own. Stationed first in the Middle East and then in Italy, Skinner and his fellow American volunteers, Rod, Freak, and Benny, endure boredom, fear, and the exquisite frustration of following orders. They seek solace in their friendship with one another and in the debauched diversions available to men during wartime. But as the days and nights drag on, Skinner begins to drift away from his comrades—and from himself. Too late, he discovers that the path he has chosen leads only to tragedy. Inspired by Vance Bourjaily’s experiences as an ambulance driver in the American Field Service and commissioned by legendary editor Maxwell Perkins, The End of My Life marked the arrival of a writer heralded by the New York Times as “a Dostoevsky of the generation that came of age in World War II.” Elegant, spare, and fiercely honest, this is a timeless portrait of the devastating effects of war on the human spirit.
