Theaters Of Time And Space: American Planetaria, 1930-1970
Jordan D., II Marche Manufacturer: Rutgers University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 081353576X |
Book Description
"Marché carefully shows how local and national interests produced the first five major American planetarium theatersin Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, New York, and Pittsburghas well as hundreds of smaller onesin Pennsylvania schools and in other locations around the country. The millions of people who have found education or entertainment in a planetarium will find great background reading in Theaters of Time and Space!"Dr. Marvin Bolt, director, history of astronomy department, Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum, Chicago"A timely and valuable contribution to our understanding of the evolution of public science in America. Theaters of Time and Space clarifies the importance of emotional engagement in the public's enduring enthusiasm for astronomical discovery. Its natural audience is planetarium specialists, but it is also a cultural history that will engage the general reader."Dr. E. C. Krupp, Griffith Observatory
Every year, millions of Americans visit planetariums and are captivated by their strikingly realistic portrayal of the night sky. Today, it is indeed difficult to imagine astronomy education without these magnificent celestial theaters. But projection planetariums, first developed in Germany, have been a part of American museum pedagogy only since the early twentieth century and were not widespread until the 1960s.
In this unique social history, former planetarium director and historian of science Jordan D. Marché II offers the first complete account of the community of individuals and institutions that, during the period between 1930 and 1970, made planetariums the popular teaching aids they are today. Marché addresses issues such as the role of gender and social developments within the planetarium community, institutional patronage, and the popularization of science. He reveals how, at different times, various groups, including financial donors, amateur scientists, and government officials, viewed the planetarium as an instrument through which they could shape public understanding and perceptions of astronomy and space science.
Offering an insightful, wide-ranging look into the origins of an institution that has fascinated millions, Theaters of Time and Space brings new perspectives to how one educational community changed the cultural complexion of science, helped shape public attitudes toward the U.S. space program, and even contributed to policy decisions regarding allocations for future space research.

Go! Opium Pandamonium! Go!: From the Opium Pipe to Saturday Morning Children's Cartoons
Tequila Rush Manufacturer: iUniverse, Inc. ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0595319637 |
Book Description
In the 1990s, the Super Duper Power Pandas took the children's television and merchandising worlds by storm. The story and images of the crime-fighting, bamboo-eating Power Pandas were everywhere. Every parent in America knew them and every child in America loved them.What no one knew, though, was the Pandas' previous incarnation as a depraved, sexual, violent underground comic book, conveniently swept under the rug by a powerful corporation bent on winning over children's affection as well as taking their parents' money.
Now, for the first time in history, the complete and candid story of the Pandas' lurid origins are revealed, including synopses of the original forty-four issue comic book saga that spawned the children's cartoon and merchandising phenomenon.
Customer Reviews:
Death, violence, drugs, sex.... and oh yeah... pandas.......2004-07-16
Rush takes a fast-paced, behind-the-scenes look at how this violent, off-the-wall, lurid, underground comic book gave rise to a national phenomenon. The book also features detailed descriptions of all 44 issues of the comic that will relentlessly feed the wry, twisted sense of humor in you and undoubtedly make you laugh out loud. It's funny. It's violent. It's twisted. It might even be a little disgusting. But one thing's for sure, it's definitely entertaining. Just make sure you leave your discretions on the coffee table.
Whoa!.......2004-07-13
I gave it four stars the first time I reviewed it, but after reading it again, I gotta say..... 5 STARS!!!!

Big Bill Thompson, Chicago, and the Politics of Image

Customer Reviews:
After 70 years, an objective account.......2000-06-01
Learn about the Big Bill Thomson who inherited his money from lucky parents who owned the one section of Chicago which did not burn in the Great Fire of 1871.
Learn about the Big Bill Thompson who was one of the most celebrated athletes in late 19th century Chicago.
Learn about the Big Bill Thompson who as a cowboy turned a profit on his ranch while Teddy Roosevelt was losing money on his.
Learn about a Mayor Thompson who championed an "America First" policy while exploiting class envy for his own political gain.
The reader is left with the impression that Big Bill Thompson invented the type of politics in use today. Rather than focus on Thompson himself, however, the book also explores the campaigns of his opposition, leaving the reader with a full understanding of what worked for Thompson and why it worked.
The scandal involving contributions from gangsters which effectively ended his career is given the space it deserves at the end of the book, but is not the focus of the book, as are most contemporary news stories. The reader is left with a well-rounded and objective account of one of the most successful mayors in Chicago history -- and how he got there.
And as the final coup de grace at the conclusion of the book, the reader will undoubtedly be shocked when they realize that Big Bill Thompson never committed half the indiscretions attributed to Big Bill Clinton.
All in all, it was an excellent and enlightening read. Thoroughly enjoyable.

I Want My Life Back
Steve Hamilton , and Alison Lowry Manufacturer: Hazelden ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1592850839 |
Book Description
I Want My Life Back is not a pretty story- but it's beautifully told and absolutely compelling. The book's cover features a portrait of author Steve Hamilton. You'd guess his age to be somewhere in his late 60's. Guess again. He's 39, and he has seen several lifetimes of hurt and failure. Raised by an alcoholic father, Hamilton learned early how alcohol can dominate every dynamic in family life. Later, alcohol and drugs dominated every aspect of his own life.
This book is a moving and compelling portrait of the addicted life. Readers will learn how addiction comes to possess the mind, soul and body of its human prey. Readers will begin to understand why an addict like Hamilton can't quit the very thing that is destroying him. He leads readers to grapple with a mix of emotions: loathing, pity, sympathy, compassion, and ultimately, admiration. He has been clean and sober for more than a dozen years now, and he completely embraces the Twelve Step philosophy.
A powerful story powerfully told, I Want My Life Back is Leaving Las Vegas with a happy ending
