Summary of Dana Brown's Dilettante
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had a spotty record in life already. I was quiet and shy when I was young, and I didn’t have any skills or interests. I had a vague interest in being a rock star, but I wasn’t a good musician. I was never good at anything. #2 I was a fun-loving, social person, but I didn’t have many close friends. I felt self-conscious and desperate for approval and acceptance. I was able to move on from friendships without sentiment, like an emotional transient. #3 The hotel business was started by Ian Schrager and his partner, Steve Rubell, who opened the Morgans Hotel on the east side of Madison Avenue between Thirty-seventh and Thirty-eighth in 1980. They imported some of the nightclub flair and high-design aesthetic to their new venture, dimming the lights, painting the walls in dark muted tones, and Robert Mapplethorpe prints on the walls. #4 The Royalton Hotel’s lobby was anarchic and upscale, and it had been designed by French designer Philippe Starck. It was dark but thoughtfully lit. Everything was purposeful, in its right place, no detail too small to go unnoticed or unattended.

Killing Women
"The examination of women and violence has traditionally focused on women who are killed or who are the victims of violence. Women murderers were often portrayed as vengeful wronged women or as maternal protectors. Recently, however, there have been significant shifts in the characterization of women who kill, in both popular culture (Lara Croft, Buffy, and Kill Bill) and in the current global political landscape (the so-called angels of death in Palestine). The essays in this book explore gender and violence by focusing on visual culture -- films, museums, art, archives, and the news media -- and by engaging with contemporary theories and practices of identity politics and the debates about...

Tom Feigel lived it, as a twenty-year-old crew chief in a Huey. Super Slick is the story of his year in Vietnam. Tom Feigel grew up a typical post-World War II kid who wrestled in high school, had a steady girl, and loved worki...
