Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FROM THE FOREWORD: You are here (I presume) because you've read my 2015 memoir "DeForest Kelley Up Close and Personal: A Harvest of Memories from the Fan Who Knew Him Best" or its 2001 predecessor "DeForest Kelley A Harvest of Memories: My Life and Times with a Remarkable Gentleman Actor."I am here because so many of you wrote to tell me that you're still hankering for every morsel of experience I enjoyed as a fan and friend of Carolyn and DeForest Kelley. I'm doing this for you now for three reasons: 1. I'm no longer a spring chicken and I want to help extend the Kelley legacy as far into the future as I possibly can 2.the 20th anniversary of De's passing is this year (June 11, 2019)3.the 100th anniversary of De's birth will occur on January 20, 2020 Based on the 5-star reviews that flooded in after the publication of my Kelley memoir, I succeeded beyond my wildest dreams. Fans said, "I feel like I've truly met and know De and Carolyn now." BULLS EYE! That's exactly what I was aiming for! I succeeded so well, in fact, that I started getting my own fan mail from readers who loved De or were just discovering him for the first time. They asked me follow-up questions. They wanted to continue to inhabit my experiences with the Kelleys, including the mundane. True fans can never get enough of the Kelleys. So, I'm doing everything I possibly can to be sure that my readers get everything I have to share with you before I'm shoveled off this mortal coil. I consider this my magnum opus. It has been quite the undertaking, when you consider the thousands of hours I spent typing these phone visits originally (immediately or shortly after each of the 1000-plus conversations occurred), the time I spent rifling through them and my journals for the 2001 version of my memoir of my life and times with the Kelleys, and this final "no holds barred" iteration. Whew!!! So, to those who reached out and inquired, thank you. Although this has been a herculean undertaking, by tackling the phone logs again I've been able to re-experience the magic. In fact, I feel as if I resurrected the Kelleys and spent additional time with them because I had forgotten so much of what was in the phone logs! So, in asking me to tell it all, you've blessed me as much as I hope these six volumes will bless you.
Download or read book DeForest Kelley Up Close and Personal written by Kristine Smith and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-23 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If not for a question I couldn't answer back in 2000, this book probably would never have been written. When DeForest Kelley's biographer Terry Lee Rioux asked me, "How did you go from being a fan-on the outermost reaches of fandom-to being at Mr. Kelley's bedside when he died?" I was struck speechless. Finally, I responded, "I have no idea. That's something only De could answer. I can't speak for him." Terry persisted: "You know the answer. You just have to connect the dots..." The question pestered me. My 30-plus year association with DeForest Kelley had all just seemed so miraculous to me. That's because I still hadn't come to grips with the reality that De and Carolyn Kelley weren't just being kind to one of their most ardent fans. I had become a friend. Terry's question led me to re-visit the scores of journals and four behemoth three-ring binders that I had filled with the conversations I had painstakingly recorded after each visit and call. You wouldn't think-as crazy about the Kelleys as I was-that I would have forgotten a single moment. But I had. This is how I discovered, for the very first time, the path that our friendship took. My hope is that my precious journey will bring you as close to meeting "the real McCoy" up close and personal as I was blessed to experience.
Download or read book From Sawdust to Stardust written by Terry Lee Rioux and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2005-02-28 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the forty-year history of Star Trek®, none of the television show's actors are more beloved than DeForest Kelley. His portrayal of Leonard "Bones" McCoy, the southern physician aboard the Starship Enterprise™, brought an unaffected humanity to the groundbreaking space frontier series. Jackson DeForest Kelley came of age in Depression-era Georgia. He was raised on the sawdust trail, a preacher's kid steeped in his father's literal faith and judgment. But De's natural artistic gifts called him to a different way, and a visit to California at seventeen showed a bright new world. Theater and radio defined his early career -- but it was a World War II training film he made while serving in the Army Air Corps that led to his first Paramount Studios contract. After years of struggle, his lean, weathered look became well known in notable westerns and television programs such as You Are There and Bonanza. But his work on several pilots for writer-producer Gene Roddenberry changed his destiny and the course of cultural history. This thoroughly researched actor's life is about hard work and luck, loyalty and love. It is a journey that takes us all...from sawdust to stardust.

Download or read book Live Long And written by William Shatner and published by Thomas Dunne Books. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Star Trek legend and veteran author William Shatner discusses the meaning of life, finding value in work, and living well whatever your age. "I have always felt," William Shatner says early in his newest memoir, that "like the great comedian George Burns, who lived to 100, I couldn’t die as long as I was booked." And Shatner is always booked. Still, a brief health scare in 2016 forced him to take stock. After mulling over the lessons he's learned, the places he's been, and all the miracles and strange occurrences he's witnessed over the course of an enduring career in Hollywood and on the stage, he arrived at one simple rule for living a long and good life: don't die. It's the only one-size-fits-all advice, Shatner argues in Live Long and..:What I Learned Along the Way, because everyone has a unique life—but, to help us all out, he's more than willing to share stories from his unique life. With a combination of pithy humor and thoughtful vulnerability, Shatner lays out his journey from childhood to peak stardom and all the bumps in the road. (Sometimes the literal road, as in the case of his 2,400-mile motorcycle trip across the country with a bike that didn't function.) William Shatner is one of our most beloved entertainers, and he intends never to stop entertaining. His funny, provocative, and poignant reflections offer an unforgettable read about a remarkable man.
Download or read book Realising REDD written by Arild Angelsen and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REDD+ must be transformational. REDD+ requires broad institutional and governance reforms, such as tenure, decentralisation, and corruption control. These reforms will enable departures from business as usual, and involve communities and forest users in making and implementing policies that a ect them. Policies must go beyond forestry. REDD+ strategies must include policies outside the forestry sector narrowly de ned, such as agriculture and energy, and better coordinate across sectors to deal with non-forest drivers of deforestation and degradation. Performance-based payments are key, yet limited. Payments based on performance directly incentivise and compensate forest owners and users. But schemes such as payments for environmental services (PES) depend on conditions, such as secure tenure, solid carbon data and transparent governance, that are often lacking and take time to change. This constraint reinforces the need for broad institutional and policy reforms. We must learn from the past. Many approaches to REDD+ now being considered are similar to previous e orts to conserve and better manage forests, often with limited success. Taking on board lessons learned from past experience will improve the prospects of REDD+ e ectiveness. National circumstances and uncertainty must be factored in. Di erent country contexts will create a variety of REDD+ models with di erent institutional and policy mixes. Uncertainties about the shape of the future global REDD+ system, national readiness and political consensus require exibility and a phased approach to REDD+ implementation.
Download or read book Postmodern Public Administration written by Hugh T Miller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-26 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This widely acclaimed work provides a lively counterbalance to the standard assessment-measurement-accountability prescriptions that have made showing you did your job more important than actually doing it. Now extensively revised, it articulates a postmodern theory of public administration that challenges the field to redirect its attention away from narrow, technique-oriented scientism, and toward democratic openness and ethics. The authors incorporate insights from thinkers like Rorty, Giddens, Derrida, and Foucault to recast public administration as an arena of decentered practices. In their framework, ideographic collisions and everyday impasses bring about political events that challenge the status quo, creating possibilities for social change. "Postmodern Public Administration" is an outstanding intellectual achievement that has rewritten the political theory of public administration. This new edition will encourage everyone who reads it to think quite differently about democratic governance.

Book excerpt: Essay by Donald Kuspit The first monograph by famed actor and director Leonard Nimoy, this eerily beautiful photographic study of the female form reveals Nimoy's intrigue with Old Testament mythology and ancient spirituality. The Shekhina, described by the Kabbala as God's feminine counterpart, is understood by mystics to be a crucial element of both divine and human spirit, symbolising the creativity and wisdom without which no being is complete.
