Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The South Park Line's early history is known for a paucity of information and surviving records—there IS data out there, but it is scattered around far and wide. Dan Edwards has been relentlessly hunting down varied sources to painstakingly assemble this chronology of Colorado and Southern Railroad history. This, Dan's second book (in a planned series of seven), is another major step forward into unravelling the history of the South Park line. Focusing on the Leadville and Breckenridge areas, this book also touches on the upper portion of the Clear Creek line above Georgetown and the plan to connect that “high line” to the other “high line” at Montezuma, near Dillon. The present work fills in many gaps, highlights new information, and of course raises new questions. Like his first book, this effort presents events primarily in chronological order as recorded by newspaper reporters, company officials in internal correspondence, and court records and documents. Also, many facts are gleaned from additional sources as found in archives and library records and railroad commissioner reports.The text is sometimes dry, sometimes riveting, but SO MUCH IS HERE!—rate wars; court battles; market crashes; titanic egos; railroad (strategic) and crew (tactical) confrontations; starry-eyed grand plans never realized (like standard gauging, ambitious extensions, and loooong tunnels); brutal mountain winters shutting down the road and isolating towns; avalanches and all-too-often train wrecks; strikes; sabotage; desperados; fires; profound corporate maneuvering both public and private; bankruptcies and reorganizations; and much, much more.And even some comedy—the embarrassing results of George C. Wortman's (of Wortman's Spur) determined search for a mail-order bride, the railroad employees using the Rotary snow plow's blades as a roulette wheel, and other “episodes” that are hilarious and fall firmly into the realm of “you just can't make this stuff up.”Tying names and dates to places and events and clarifying some myths and rumors—while debunking others—brings the mosaic of nebulous South Park history more clearly into focus. Dan occasionally provides background information to many of the reported events that helps to connect the dots.There may be a few “red herrings” thrown in, but these curve balls are few and usually are reported but once. After reading all the history books written in the usual past tense, it is actually entertaining to read an account of the history of the line “as it is unfolding.” I look forward to, and am grateful for, Dan's continuing research into the history of this road. We have been hungry for this information for far too long. Students of South Park history, whether serious or merely curious, will find the results of Dan Edwards' research helpful and enlightening.

Book excerpt: Since the first episode aired on Comedy Central in 1997, South Park has proven to be one of the most socially relevant and downright hilarious television shows of all time. No series skewers pop culture and politics with more effective wit and wisdom than South Park—from dysfunctional family life to bad manners to the entire country of Canada, for the residents of this tiny town, no subject is sacred or taboo! A regular ratings monster and Emmy-winner, South Park is also an unlikely source of advice on all facets of life. Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny along with the rest of the town offer hilariously twisted insights and questionable counsel on topics such as teamwork, spirituality, and the opposite sex. South Park Guide to Life is a much anticipated collection of colorful illustrations and original lines from the show. Great for grads and fans alike!

Download or read book South Park and Philosophy written by Richard Hanley and published by Open Court. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s long-running Comedy Central hit cartoon South Park has been equally cheered and reviled for its edgy humor, poited satire of current events and celebrities, and all-around obnoxiousness. But is there more to Kyle, the lonely Jew, Timmy and the Crips, Cartman’s bitchiness, Chef’s inappropriate advice, and Kenny’s continued violent deaths than meets the eye? This collection of essays affirms that possibility. Individual chapters take a sometimes witty, often provocative look at “Is South Park a Libertarian Manifesto?", "That's So Gay!", and "Why Is Cartman Such an Asshole?”. The writers apply classical philosophical analysis to this two-dimensional dystopia, whether in Paul Draper’s “Why Good Things Happen to Bad People — The Problem of Evil in South Park” or Randall Auxier’s “Finding South Park on the Map: Officer Barbrady, Mayor McDaniel, and Chef in Plato’s Republic.” South Park and Philosophy presents new and thoughtful approaches to understanding this surprisingly meaningful show.
