Flying High Remembering Barry Goldwater

Flying High Remembering Barry Goldwater
William F. Buckley Jr., "Flying High: Remembering Barry Goldwater"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 046501805X, 0465008364 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 0.2 mb
If any two people can be called indispensable in launching the conservative movement in American politics, they are William F. Buckley Jr. and Barry Goldwater. Buckley's National Review was at the center of conservative political analysis from the mid-fifties onward. But the policy intellectuals knew that to actually change the way the country was run, they needed a presidential candidate, and the man they turned to was Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater. Goldwater was in many ways the perfect choice: self-reliant, unpretentious, unshakably honest and dashingly handsome, with a devoted following that grew throughout the fifties and early sixties. He possessed deep integrity and a sense of decency that made him a natural spokesman for conservative ideals. But his flaws were a product of his virtues. He wouldn't't bend his opinions to make himself more popular, he insisted on using his own inexperienced advisors to run his presidential campaign, and in the end he electrified a large portion of the electorate but lost the great majority. Flying High is Buckley's partly fictional tribute to the man who was in many ways his alter ego in the conservative movement. It is the story of two men who looked as if they were on the losing side of political events, but were kept aloft by the conviction that in fact they were making history.

Fire Management in the American West Forest Politics and the Rise of Megafires

Fire Management in the American West Forest Politics and the Rise of Megafires
Mark Hudson, "Fire Management in the American West: Forest Politics and the Rise of Megafires"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 1607320886 | EPUB | pages: 256 | 1.1 mb
Most journalists and academics attribute the rise of wildfires in the western United States to the USDA Forest Service's successful fire-elimination policies of the twentieth century. However, in Fire Management in the American West, Mark Hudson argues that although a century of suppression did indeed increase the hazard of wildfire, the responsibility does not lie with the USFS alone. The roots are found in the Forest Service's relationships with other, more powerful elements of society-the timber industry in particular.

Film Noir From Berlin to Sin City
Mark Bould, "Film Noir: From Berlin to Sin City "
English | ISBN: 1904764509 | 2005 | 144 pages | EPUB, MOBI | 2 MB + 879 KB
Film Noir explores the murky world of a genre responsible for many of film's most enduring images. Mark Bould discusses problems of definition and the often ambiguous nature of film noir and looks at modern films that could be called neo-noir. Iconic and enduring, film noir attracted great stars (Bogart, Bacall, Mitchum, Lancaster), many of the best directors of the era (Wilder, Lang, Preminger, Hawks, Siodmak, Welles) and this book is an indispensible guide to this popular genre.

Fantasies of the Bookstore

Fantasies of the Bookstore
Eben J. Muse, "Fantasies of the Bookstore "
English | ISBN: 110844539X | 2022 | 75 pages | PDF | 756 KB
This Element surveys the place of the bookstore in the creative imagination (the fantasies of the bookstore) through a study of novels in which bookstores play a prominent role in the setting or Description. Nearly 500 'bookstore novels' published since the first in 1917 have been identified. The study borrows the concept of 'meaningful locations' from the field of human geography to assess fictional bookstores as narrative events rather than static backgrounds. As a meaningful location, the bookstore creates the potential for events that can occur both within the place of the store and in the wider space within which it functions. Elements of the narrative space include its spatio-temporal location, its locale or composition, and the events which these elements generate to define the bookstore's sense of place.
