Inside the Hollywood Fan Magazine
The fan magazine has often been viewed simply as a publicity tool, a fluffy exercise in self-promotion by the film industry. But as an arbiter of good and bad taste, as a source of knowledge, and as a gateway to the fabled land of Hollywood and its stars, the American fan magazine represents a fascinating and indispensable chapter in journalism and popular culture. Anthony Slide's Inside the Hollywood Fan Magazine provides the definitive history of this artifact. It charts the development of the fan magazine from the golden years when Motion Picture Story Magazine and Photoplay first appeared in 1911 to its decline into provocative headlines and titillation in the 1960s and afterward.

New Carlisle
Long described as a dreamer and wanderer, Richard Risley Carlisle traveled from the East, purchased 160 acres, and platted the town of New Carlisle in 1835. The little town on the hill grew as many settlers found the flat, fertile prairie lands surrounding the town ideal for farming. The construction of the Michigan Road just a few years prior had opened up settlement in New Carlisle and the surrounding Olive Township. The railroad built in 1852 ensured success of the town as it bypassed other rival towns causing them to fade into obscurity. The images in this book give a glimpse into the small-town life of New Carlisle and the surrounding areas such as the communities of Hamilton and Hudson Lake that played such an important part of the community's rich heritage.

Military Medical Ethics
Dual loyalties exist in many medical fields, from occupational health to public health. Military health professionals, as all health professionals, are ethically responsible for their patients' well-being. In some situations, however, military health professionals can face unique ethical tensions between responsibilities to individual patients and responsibilities to military operations. This book summarizes the one-day workshop, Military Medical Ethics: Issues Regarding Dual Loyalties, which brought together academic, military, human rights, and health professionals to discuss these ethical challenges. The workshop examined two case studies: decisions regarding returning a servicemember to duty after a closed head injury, and decisions on actions by health professionals regarding a hunger strike by detainees. The workshop also addressed the need for improvements in medical ethics training and outlined steps for organizations to take in supporting better ethical awareness and use of ethical standards.
GAMESMANSHIP
For some, betraying justice is a small price to pay for riches. For others, the truth is more important than money. When deceit and integrity clash, gamesmanship controls the outcome. A legal thriller filled with compelling characters and suspense, GAMESMANSHIP is a masterful tale where justice becomes a dangerous game of hide-and-seek. After a workplace accident claims lives, a corrupt trial lawyer and a greedy business owner enter into a devious conspiracy to unfairly profit from the tragedy. For them, altering evidence — even committing murder — is justifiable when the shared reward is a half-billion dollars. The dead workers, a key witness, and the integrity of the justice system mea...

The Knee Baby
The Knee Baby By: Constance White The Knee Baby is an honest, fearless look at life on an eastern North Carolina tobacco farm during the Eisenhower and Kennedy Administrations. Told from the post-depression point of view of a precocious toddler, it clearly shows the misery of life in the hook-worm and poverty-ridden South. These true stories will make the reader laugh aloud, despite the harsh circumstances of the sharecroppers’ lives. The R-rated language reflects the grittiness of the situation. The story is told through the eyes of a bright toddler, named Connie, also known as the knee baby. Written in Southern dialect, reminiscent of the style of Eudora Welty, this is poverty and hopelessness at its wittiest. It is a savage song of the South.
