Book excerpt: Sweeney is a Chihuahua puppy who has only one goal in life-to love, and be loved in return. Yet for Sweeney, this dream seems to be impossible. Even though her friend, a German Sheppard named King, tries to keep her spirits up, her owners abuse and neglect her. Finally, they abandon her in the woods to starve to death or be killed. Sweeney survives with the help of a tough, smart squirrel named Squeaky, and begins a harrowing adventure that takes her to the Humane Society of Connecticut. She meets many human and animal friends there. In spite of their affection for her, Sweeney longs for a permanent home. A construction worker named Jimmy Star adopts her, and she gets a new name-Rocket. But when Jimmy's mean landlady forces Jimmy to move, trouble begins for both Jimmy and Rocket. The semiautobiographical Rocket & the Construction Worker is designed for young adult readers, but can be enjoyed by readers of all ages.

Download or read book Cue the Sun written by Emily Nussbaum and published by Random House. This book was released on 2024-06-25 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rollicking saga of reality television, a “sweeping” (The Washington Post) cultural history of America’s most influential, most divisive artistic phenomenon, from the Pulitzer Prize–winning New Yorker writer—“a must-read for anyone interested in television or popular culture” (NPR) “Passionate, exquisitely told . . . With muscular prose and an exacting eye for detail . . . [Nussbaum] knits her talents for sharp analysis and telling reportage well.”—The New York Times (Editors’ Choice) Who invented reality television, the world’s most dangerous pop-culture genre? And why can’t we look away? In this revelatory, deeply reported account of the rise of “dirty documentary”—from its contentious roots in radio to the ascent of Donald Trump—Emily Nussbaum unearths the origin story of the genre that ate the world, as told through the lively voices of the people who built it. At once gimlet-eyed and empathetic, Cue the Sun! explores the morally charged, funny, and sometimes tragic consequences of the hunt for something real inside something fake. In sharp, absorbing prose, Nussbaum traces the jagged fuses of experimentation that exploded with Survivor at the turn of the millennium. She introduces the genre’s trickster pioneers, from the icy Allen Funt to the shambolic Chuck Barris; Cops auteur John Langley; cynical Bachelor ringmaster Mike Fleiss; and Jon Murray and Mary-Ellis Bunim, the visionaries behind The Real World—along with dozens of stars from An American Family, The Real World, Big Brother, Survivor, and The Bachelor. We learn about the tools of the trade—like the Frankenbite, a deceptive editor’s best friend—and ugly tales of exploitation. But Cue the Sun! also celebrates reality’s peculiar power: a jolt of emotion that could never have come from a script. What happened to the first reality stars, the Louds—and why won’t they speak to the couple who filmed them? Which serial killer won on The Dating Game? Nussbaum explores reality TV as a strike-breaker, the queer roots of Bravo, the dark truth behind The Apprentice, and more. A shrewd observer who adores television, Nussbaum is the ideal voice for the first substantive history of the genre that, for better or worse, made America what it is today.

Download or read book Rockets and Rodeos and Other American Spectacles written by Thomas Mallon and published by Houghton Mifflin. This book was released on 1993 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A decade after exploring the diaries of everyone from monarchs to madmen in the much-acclaimed A Book of One's Own, Thomas Mallon now paints a brilliant mural of America itself. Crossing the country from Alaska to Florida, from Hawaii to New England, Mallon gets up close to a dozen different national spectacles, including rocket launches, a rodeo championship, political campaigns, the trial of a bank robber, a small town's summer festival, and a pre-execution vigil at San Quentin. Traveling with him, readers will join a host of characters in unique, moving, and entertaining circumstances. On a winter night near the Arctic Circle, they'll sit at Mary Farrell's blockhouse console as she rides herd on the scientists trying to blast a tiny rocket into the emerald-green aurora borealis. They'll chat with an uncomfortable Dan Quayle ("Would you like a stick of sugarless gum?") aboard Air Force Two; watch some eager auction-goers bid for the late Sir Rex Harrison's toupee; and, fifty years after Pearl Harbor, listen to survivors weep for their lost comrades. Rockets and Rodeos is an extraordinary group portrait of the United States, written with the same wit and elegance, the consistently sharp and affectionate eye, that have won Thomas Mallon high praise for his novels and essays.

Book excerpt: Several "pieces first published in The New Yorker recall the path terror in the Middle East has taken from the rise of al-Qaeda in the 1990s to the recent beheadings of reporters and aid workers by ISIS ... They include an ... impression of Saudi Arabia, a kingdom of silence under the control of the religious police; the Syrian film industry, then compliant at the edges but already exuding a feeling of the barely masked fury that erupted into civil war; [and] the 2006-11 Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Gaza, a study in disparate values of human lives. Others continue to look into al-Qaeda as it forms a master plan for its future, experiences a rebellion from within the organization, and spins off a growing web of terror in the world"--
