Porn?
Porn is not dead, but it's not feeling itself either. The quantity of pornography being consumed is greater than ever, but what was once disguised by a brown paper bag is now the subject of mainstream movies and the subtext of global news stories. Somewhere between the explicit revelations about President Clinton's sex life and the making of The People vs Larry Flynt, dirt lost much of its ability to stain, leaving something of a cultural vacuum in the process. Provocative questions about sexual imagery and the sex industry in the Western world have now been explored by an idea storm in the form of a groundbreaking book: "Porn?" The concept of cutting-edge British monthly Dazed & Confused, a...

The Persian Project
THE PERSIAN PROJECT by Mark Irving The year is 1978 and Iran is in turmoil. Political, religious and societal forces have coalesced to threaten the shah's reign-and imperil U.S. interests in the area at the height of the Cold War. Despite disarmament talks with the Soviet Union, the U.S. fears deception, and has taken steps to monitor Soviet activity in the area. In a timely and perceptive prequel to his popular Clint Jagger series of international thrillers, Mark Irving mines his public affairs experience and expertise in Tehran in the mid-1970s to create a work of fast-paced fiction that brings alive the series of events of that period that were a harbinger of today's headlines-and the thr...

Irving Thalberg
Hollywood in the 1920s sparkled with talent, confidence, and opportunity. Enter Irving Thalberg of Brooklyn, who survived childhood illness to run Universal Pictures at twenty; co-found Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer at twenty-four; and make stars of Lon Chaney, Norma Shearer, Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, and Jean Harlow. Known as Hollywood's "Boy Wonder," Thalberg created classics such as Ben-Hur, Tarzan the Ape Man, Grand Hotel, Freaks, Mutiny on the Bounty, and The Good Earth, but died tragically at thirty-seven. His place in the pantheon should have been assured, yet his films were not reissued for thirty years, spurring critics to question his legend and diminish his achievements. In this definitive biography, illustrated with rare photographs, Mark A. Vieira sets the record straight, using unpublished production files, financial records, and correspondence to confirm the genius of Thalberg's methods. In addition, this is the first Thalberg biography to utilize both his recorded conversations and the unpublished memoirs of his wife, Norma Shearer. Irving Thalberg is a compelling narrative of power and idealism, revealing for the first time the human being behind the legend.
