Download or read book Cinemascope Two written by John Reid and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2005-02-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If it were not for the vision and enterprise of Darryl F. Zanuck and 20th Century-Fox, chances are none of us would be enjoying widescreen films today. Instead, we'd still be watching movies and TV on the same postage-stamp screen that became standard when movies began to talk in 1927. This survey of Fox's contributions to the CinemaScope Revolution which that studio started back in 1953, examines no less than 140 key films (with extensive cast and technical credits, plus release details and other background information, including prizes and awards).
Download or read book Mounthaven written by Bernard Peyton Chamberlain, Jr. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-03-20 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mounthaven is a multi-layered tale. Four generations and a hundred years of a Virginia family that, having survived the Civil War, acquires a derelict mansion and surrounding acreage called Mounthaven. The year is 1903. The place is already over a century old when Mary Carter Stokes, wife of a failed Yankee gentleman farmer and daughter of Major Moses Carter, late of the Army of Northern Virginia, first sees the property no plumbing, no electricity and the grounds a total disaster -- and it begins to sink in that this is to be where she will eventually die. Thus it becomes the story of Marys elder son, Edmund Carter Stokes and his Yankee but wealthy bride, as Ed, using Mounthaven as a base, struggles to complete the mission laid upon him by his mother-- to restore the family to the place in society it occupied before the war while Eds own son, Carter, flounders to free himself from these very values, for most of which Mounthaven serves as a decaying metaphor.

The squawking parrot knows it all, the secret keeper of this land, of wine and river, war and love, and dreams men brought to river bank; alas they tried to build them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frederick Snow, first footman, is the perfect servant: efficient, hardworking, and completely bereft of emotion. Unbeknownst to his employers, he's the lost Duke of Snowmont, on the run from a suspicious stepfather and a powerful magic he can only control by burying his passions beneath his frosty demeanor. He's managed to hide behind his carefully ordered life until an impertinent miss arrives and challenges everything he thought he wanted. If Charlotte Erlwood wants to land a wealthy, titled husband at her great aunt's house party, she has to stop losing her temper – especially with inordinately handsome footmen. Perhaps if she recruits Frederick for her matrimonial schemes, she'll be able to direct her attention toward suitable single noblemen and away from inappropriate dalliances. But Frederick's frigid control is no match for Charlotte's irrepressible spirit, and her passionate kiss could summon the darker side of his magic...or wake his heart from its frozen sleep.

Download or read book A Bird s Eye View of American Women written by Howard ("H") Worth and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Bird's Eye View of American Women describes women in a cynical, sarcastic, humorous fashion from an outside, "Bird's Eye," point of view. The main focus is to bring forth novel insights about women. Numerous illustrations are included to enhance the written content. A few selections detail important issues concerning both sexes. For example, in the "Office Worker" title, dangerous "gossipers" are discussed-ones who are always hunting, gathering, and blabbering personal information amongst others. Having been involved in healthcare training, the author shares behind-the-scenes footage of healthcare staff in a hospital. The "Psychopath" tells the true story of an emotionally disturbed female stalker on a quest for affection. There are twenty titles to entertain readers' hearts and minds. Those who have an affinity toward bathroom-type humor will surely appreciate some of the insights provided. In fact, it would be very surprising to the author and illustrator if at least a few internal smiles, if not outbursts of laughter, were not emanated. There is no other cynical 'humor book' like this one...enjoy.

P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos head-on, boldly upturning his fear of the unknown with a heart-warming story of found family, acceptance, and perseverance in the face of human cruelty and the cosmic apathy of the universe. Emrys brings together a family of outsiders, bridging the gaps between the many people marginalized by the homogenizing pressure of 1940s America. Aphra Marsh, descendant of the People of the Water, has survived Deep One internment camps and made a grudging peace with the government that destroyed her home and exterminated her people on land. Deep Rootscontinues Aphra’s journey to rebuild her life and family on land, as she tracks down long-lost relatives. She must repopulate Innsmouth or risk seeing it torn down by greedy developers, but as she searches she discovers that people have been going missing. She will have to unravel the mystery, or risk seeing her way of life slip away. The Innsmouth Legacy Book 1: Winter Tide Book 2: Deep Roots At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
