Back in the 1960s, the Burke Family Singers were America’s answer to Austria’s von Trapp Family. Throughout that tumultuous decade the fabric of the nation’s life was of course torn by the war in Vietnam and the impassioned drive of the civil rights movement. It was against this churning backdrop that a large Rhode Island family - mother, father and 10 children - set out on the first of what would prove a long series of coast-to-coast tours, whose only purpose was to bring the glorious sound of their music to audiences everywhere. They performed in major cities and remote sma

Written for readers who have a passion for Shakespeare, Shakespeare’s Wordcraft takes a comprehensive look at Shakespeare’s stellar use of language devices throughout his plays, devices he used to ink memorable lines like these: + I must be cruel only to be kind + Fair is foul, and foul is fair + Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more! + Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears! In a clear, accessible, non-academic style - using plain terms, modern quotes, and several thousand examples - Shakespeare’s Wordcraft deftly reveals how these lasting lines were not

The earlier Film Noir Readers, which now boast a combined sale of well over 30,000 copies, have all quite deliberately conveyed a sweeping overview of the classic period, demonstrating how broad and inclusive noir movies are.

Its purpose is to identify the key films and motifs of noir and to analyze in depth the prototypical pictures that, while vivid examples of certain cinematic themes, bend and break their molds to find new ways to enthrall and frighten us. Like its predecessors, Film Noir Reader 4 is generously illustrated and features ess

While television commercials often elicit groans from the viewer, they mean work for actors and can be the bread-and-butter backbone of an actor’s career, providing a safety net of income while he or she climbs the ladder to greater success. And for those actors who achieve face-to-product recognition, commercial work can provide handsome residuals for years to come. While many books on the market include some information on commercial work, Acting in the Million Dollar Minute deals exclusively with the art and business of acting in commercials. Here the "art" is narrow: script terminolo
