Download or read book Hollywood Cartoons written by Michael Barrier and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-11-06 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hollywood Cartoons, Michael Barrier takes us on a glorious guided tour of American animation in the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, to meet the legendary artists and entrepreneurs who created Bugs Bunny, Betty Boop, Mickey Mouse, Wile E. Coyote, Donald Duck, Tom and Jerry, and many other cartoon favorites. Beginning with black-and-white silent cartoons, Barrier offers an insightful account, taking us inside early New York studios and such Hollywood giants as Disney, Warner Bros., and MGM. Barrier excels at illuminating the creative side of animation--revealing how stories are put together, how animators develop a character, how technical innovations enhance the "realism" of cartoons. Here too are colorful portraits of the giants of the field, from Walt and Roy Disney and their animators, to Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera. Based on hundreds of interviews with veteran animators, Hollywood Cartoons gives us the definitive inside look at this colorful era and at the creative process behind these marvelous cartoons.

Download or read book Summers at the Lake written by Jon C. Stott and published by Modern History Press. This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paddling a canoe into sunrise on the longest day of the year... watching a child take her first kayak ride with her father... gazing at a bald eagle, riding air currents high above the lake... chuckling as a hummingbird defends his feeder against intruders... dodging campfire smoke while burning marshmallows and telling scary stories to wide-eyed kids. These are some of the moments and memories depicted in Summers at the Lake. The essays-often humorous; sometimes tinged with a sweet melancholy--celebrate the people and events marking the progress of the seasons--from the budding of the first green leaves of May to their falling, gold and scarlet, in September. These prose poems capture the joy of simple, lake-side living and quiet reflection. "Jon Stott is a masterful storyteller. In Summers at the Lake, he shares memories that read like prose poetry. Each story takes us to a place of solitude and beauty and will stir pleasant memories of our own." --Sharon Kennedy, author of The Sideroad Kids: Tales from Chippewa County "This gentle book by a gentle man is the kind that grows on you. Reading it will give you the same benefits as meditating in lovely surroundings in peace and calmness." --Bob Rich, author of From Depression to Contentment "In Summers at the Lake, much can be learned about life in the U.P. and its enjoyable places. You can explore the wonders of the U.P. while dipping your toes into the everyday experiences of life near Crooked Lake." --Sharon Brunner, U.P. Book Review "Jon C. Stott delightfully describes the many joys of lakeside living with the unchanging activities of summer. Deb Le Blanc's photos will make readers feel as if they are right there at the cabin, next to the author." --Carolyn Wilhelm, MA, Midwest Book Review From Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com

Download or read book My Life and Lens written by Capt. Robert L. Bowen and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2017-03-20 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journalists possess critical responsibilities—one is simply to inform, another is to explain. As a military photojournalist during the Vietnam Era, Bob Bowen has captured visually with his camera and explained eloquently with his written words, the horrors and the honorable service of that period. In his new book My Life and Lens, Bowen articulates not only high action combat but the artful subtleties and tactics of warfare. He writes so well that the reader is pulled into the stories as if there in person. It is one thing to provide facts to America’s cumulative history; it’s another to display the facts through personal experiences. One will learn through reading this memoir that the life of a journalist in a war zone could be short-lived. It is dangerous work; but when successful, the work informs. This is what makes Bowen’s book such a compelling read. This memoir is an excellent pictorial and literary contribution not only to our nation’s history but in the recognition of those who honorably participated in that unpopular conflict. Respect is demonstrated to the families of the brave American heroes of this long-ago era by Bob Bowen’s memorializing them in his book. - Worth Earlwood Norman, Jr., retired account executive, EDS Corporation; author of two biographies—James Solomon Russell: Former Slave, Pioneer Educator, and Episcopal Evangelist (McFarland Publishing, 2012), William Jelks Cabaniss, Jr., Crossing Lines in His Business, Political and Diplomatic Life (Archdeacon Books, 2014) and one memoir, Six Bits: USMC 1962-1963 (My Years in USMC Bands 1962-1966) (Kindle eBook) I predict this is a great book by Bob Bowen who is writing about his own life during the Vietnam War. Bob is an expert photographer and was a war correspondent and a fine writer. This job was dangerous. This book could really take off and be a great success. I recommend it to anyone interested in the Vietnam War. The war was a harrowing experience for the men involved, and they have never been given proper credit for their bravery. - Don Gilmore, author, Eyewitness Vietnam The images you captured of our Marines in Vietnam are unequaled. Your book will be a smash hit! - Franklin Cox, author, Lullabies for Lieutenants My friend Bob Bowen has been a member of The American Legion for more than four decades, during which time he has been totally devoted to our country, our veterans, and their families. This memoir details his insights not only into war and coming home, but also into the people who are Americans. His life is proof that when most veterans take off their uniforms, they don’t quit their service to the nation. My Life and Lens is the inspiring story of how one Marine is still serving America. - Daniel S. Wheeler, National Adjutant, The American Legion
Download or read book 412 written by Craig Bohlin and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When my experiences began...* I started writing when I first learned how and when my experiences began, where I am from, and where I am presently. I am excited about an obscurity of suggestion and willing to venture into the unknown to obtain a classification of words and advice for metaphorical composition and creation. Resisting spoiled, misused, commercialized, deformed, mispronounced, and in general, degraded words. Sensitivity to colloquial speech, intrigue with definition and synonyms. When there seems like there is no such thing as free verse but only different kinds of rhythm. Choice and will are always involved for the use of words can be argued in an illuminating way or a misleading way. Direct, elegant and vivid, sudden transitions, connections in logical order, conception, concise word choice, the unrewarding exercise of discovering observation and justification. The poetic idiom given to generalization. Where discouragement and difficulties follow. When words fall densely onto the page, imposing upon comprehension of sensibility. I have written or have started writing many topical stories, including some with difficult vocabulary. I have studied poets, authors, and novelists and have researched their reputable writing concepts. I have currently completed working on condensing (through editing) a book that I have written, which is a series of short topical stories, if that. This is that book. When I write, I have little problem with punctuation and spelling, although I will find some errors in editing. My grammar skills are good, but I could always use more vocabulary skills. Subjective, spontaneous words that fall onto the paper and using as few words as possible to express an idea. I often find myself reading the dictionary to abstract new words, ideas, and topics. Writing, I believe, has at least one distinction, which entitles me to something. A communicational tool used as an explanation for what is to be held true and valued. Inventing accomplished expression sets me to musing, thinking, and searching. Amusing, melancholy expression that seem to fit justly and harmoniously. That which seems to fortify an idea, prompt and unfailing. Accuracy makes it deliver an explosion. Well-used words converge to form an especially planned distinction, in part, losing a special distinction. This is what is difficult. Arranging words justly and harmoniously, which seem to fit into a theme justly and harmoniously. "Honest criticism and sensitive appreciation are directed not upon the poet but upon the poetry."* Starvation for words is always regrettable because I believe writing is the most sophisticated form of communication. A writer may have the prolific arrangements of being confined to the surface, but by a form and method in which the past and present are constantly faced with each other and resulting in a contrast, which fires new interest which is wise and interesting. Perfecting truth and sincerity with an endless imagination...A strange combination of words to represent the brighter side of things. Having judgement with precision and accuracy and written by the testimony of instinct. The problem is that so much has been written with strong and persistent vacancies. It leaves little room for decision. ________________________________________________________________________________________ *The above is taken from the words of Mark Twain, Delmore Schwartz, T. S.
