Author Marlin Heckman has compiled over 200 vintage postcards to chronicle the history of the "Queen of Beaches."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've never heard of the Queen Mary?' They looked shocked. 'Oh yeah! The Queen Mary! Where's it headed?' 'The United States, ' one girl answered. 'What are the chances of stowing away?' I asked. All I had to my name were the clothes on my back, a toothbrush, a razor, my passport, and about $3.50, coupled with a prayer in my heart. 'I'll tell you what, mate. If you got guts enough to stowaway, we'll get ye aboard, and we'll take care of ye.' Without knowing it, I was stepping into a small part of history. In his true-life adventure story, Stacy Miller tells the tale of how he wandered across Europe, only to find himself a stowaway trying to get home on the illustrious RMS Queen Mary's final voyage. During the RMS Queen Mary's 'Last Great Cruise, ' a thirty-nine-day historical voyage from Southampton, England, to Long Beach, California, via Cape Horn, Stacy boarded in Lisbon, Portugal, three days out of Southampton with thirty-six days left to her journey. Though intending to stay undercover, he is discovered and made a crewmember in the middle of this international affair. However, Stacy's story isn't just about being a stowaway on a ship. It's about how a twenty-one-year-old American boy grew up, became stranded in Europe, and took a leap of faith to become a part of an historical event. Find out how his story ends in Stacy Miller's action-packed memoir, The Last Stowaway: RMS Queen Mary.

Book excerpt: A funny, colorful, fascinating tour through the work and life of one of today’s most influential graphic designers. Esquire. Ford Motors. Burton Snowboards. The Obama Administration. While all of these brands are vastly different, they share at least one thing in common: a teeny little bit of Aaron James Draplin. Draplin is one of the new school of influential graphic designers who combine the power of design, social media, entrepreneurship, and DIY aesthetic to create a successful business and way of life. Pretty Much Everything is a mid-career survey of work, case studies, inspiration, road stories, lists, maps, how-tos, and advice. It includes examples of his work—posters, record covers, logos—and presents the process behind his design with projects like Field Notes and the “Things We Love” State Posters. Draplin also offers valuable advice and hilarious commentary that illustrates how much more goes into design than just what appears on the page. With Draplin’s humor and pointed observations on the contemporary design scene, Pretty Much Everything is the complete package.
Download or read book Sound Souvenirs written by Karin Bijsterveld and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, the importance of sound for remembering the past and for creating a sense of belonging has been increasingly acknowledged. We keep "sound souvenirs" such as cassette tapes and long play albums in our attics because we want to be able to recreate the music and everyday sounds we once cherished. Artists and ordinary listeners deploy the newest digital audio technologies to recycle past sounds into present tunes. Sound and memory are inextricably intertwined, not just through the commercially exploited nostalgia on oldies radio stations, but through the exchange of valued songs by means of pristine recordings and cultural practices such as collecting, archiving and listing. This book explores several types of cultural practices involving the remembrance and restoration of past sounds. At the same time, it theorizes the cultural meaning of collecting, recycling, reciting, and remembering sound and music.
