Book excerpt: Since the dawn of children's television in the 1950s, toy companies have been keen to capitalise on the success of these programmes. Toy historian and collector Anthony A. McGoldrick here charts the history of the most successful TV toys from Muffin the Mule in the 1950s to Star Trek: The Next Generation in the 1980s. The colourful illustrations – whether of Daleks, iconic cars, action figures or spaceships – evoke the excitement of the programmes and also of playing with the toys that allowed children to recreate them. Whether you grew up in the days of Andy Pandy, The Saint, Kojak or Knight Rider, this book offers a nostalgic look at some of the most appealing toys of the late twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living on Violet Circle, a place that's less of a neighborhood and more of an insane asylum poured into the street, I thought I was prepared for anything. After you've seen a woman strip down at the laundry room to wash the clothes she's wearing, then saunter across the street naked, you've seen it all, right?How naïve I was.After the factory closed, leaving me and a good portion of the town unemployed, I took a job managing Scarlet Toys. I knew it wouldn't be a typical work environment, selling adult toys in a town more uptight than a constipated nun, but some things you just never see coming.Like the protesters covered in poison ivy, screaming about smut peddlers.Or a dancing dinosaur named Fappy.Or the allure of the man standing in the center of all the chaos.Wyatt Lawson, a six foot, four inch heap of muscle with a quick smile, ignited my interest in more than the available manager position. Like the missionary one. Or the rodeo. Maybe the side rider. What can I say? I'm an overachiever.Let's just hope he doesn't scare easily.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deserted mansion. Empty picture frames. A perfect red rose in a snowy garden. There is rich and powerful magic here, and a mystery to unravel . . . When Natasha is forced to take shelter from a sudden, terrible blizzard, she is lucky to see a mansion looming out of the snow. Inside it’s beautiful: the fire lit, the table set. But there is no one there. And on the walls, instead of paintings, are empty frames. In the garden, she finds one perfect red rose about to bloom, a vivid splash of scarlet against the snow. Dreamily she reaches out a hand . . . Only to have the master of the house appear – a terrifying, gigantic creature who looks like a cross between a bear and a man – and demand vengeance on her for taking his rose. So begins an extraordinary adventure that will see Natasha plunged deep into the heart of a mystery. She begins to realise she has stumbled onto a great tragedy – a spell of revenge laid on the young man the Beast once was, devised by a powerful sorcerer. But even if she can break the spell, the Beast she has now come to love will be snatched from her. Natasha will have a long journey, and many ordeals, ahead of her before there can be a happy ending. Inspired by two beautiful Russian fairytales – The Scarlet Flower (the Russian version of Beauty and the Beast) and Fenist the Falcon, Scarlet in the Snow is a beguiling mix of magic, romance, adventure and mystery.

Download or read book Dark Toys written by David Hopkins and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wide-ranging look at surrealist and postsurrealist engagements with the culture and imagery of childhood We all have memories of the object-world of childhood. For many of us, playthings and images from those days continue to resonate. Rereading a swathe of modern and contemporary artistic production through the lens of its engagement with childhood, this book blends in-depth art historical analysis with sustained theoretical exploration of topics such as surrealist temporality, toys, play, nostalgia, memory, and 20th-century constructions of the child. The result is an entirely new approach to the surrealist tradition via its engagement with "childish things." Providing what the author describes as a "long history of surrealism," this book plots a trajectory from surrealism itself to the art of the 1980s and 1990s, through to the present day. It addresses a range of figures from Marcel Duchamp, Giorgio de Chirico, Max Ernst, Hans Bellmer, Joseph Cornell, and Helen Levitt, at one end of the spectrum, to Louise Bourgeois, Eduardo Paolozzi, Claes Oldenburg, Susan Hiller, Martin Sharp, Helen Chadwick, Mike Kelley, and Jeff Koons, at the other.

Download or read book The Toys of War written by George Herman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brutal "execution" of the patriot woman of Faenza, Diamante, in violation of the laws of sanctuary, creates a division between Cesare Borgia and his sinister condottieri. Maestro Leonardo da Vinci, quietly attempting to reconcile his new profession as engineer to Cesare Borgia, with his philosophy of non violence is caught between the factions. When a sentry is strangled by a "man with strong hands," and two of the condottieri are murdered with Leonardo's own "toys of war", a wedge is driven between the artist/engineer and his patron, an alienation that could prove fatal to Leonardo.Placed under guard by Cesare, the maestro manages to send word of his plight to Niccolo of Pavia, now a Bergamini courtier. Niccolo, enlists the services of the traveling commedia dell'arte players known as I Comici Buffoni, and together they gather the information and evidence that could prove Leonardo's innocence and expose the plot behind the murders.What they learn brings Leonardo and Niccolo to the little Adriatic port of Sinigaglia, where a trap is sprung, a trap that Paolo Giovio called "il bellissimo inganno"—the "magnificent deceit." Here, too, Leonardo comes to realize that the real "toys of war" are not the battle weapons he designs for Cesare, but something much more repugnant and horrifying!

Book excerpt: "The writing is reminiscent of Clive Cussler - a combination of tech/action/suspense that kept me interested up to the end." There are still mysteries and treasures out there. Jason Kincaid and Expedition Inc. are adventurers for hire. They’ve found missing artifacts, sunken treasures, and more. If there’s a mystery, and the money is right, they’re the team for you. When an old friend makes a startling discovery off the coast of Canada, she reaches out to the team after being ignored by the authorities. If she’s wrong, no big deal. If she’s right, the geopolitical repercussions would be staggering. The historical repercussions would be unprecedented. Once on their way, they realize they’re not the only ones chasing this mystery. Who will get there first? Who will play the dirtiest? Graham Island is a picturesque island of nature preserves, national parks, and towns too small to mention. Oh, and probably, maybe, a secret World War Two military base. Were enemies closer than everyone thought during the war? What were they doing on this island that no one thinks twice about? What’s there now, and who’s going to get it?
