An American House
An American House is set in a small Northeastern Iowa town during the 1930s. In his first novel, Paul Bland has written what appears to be a simple story on its surface, but the meaning runs deep. It is, in fact, about larger issues, an examination of the meaning of home, and too it reflects the social and political climate of the era leading up to World War II and the Holocaust. It is a beautifully written taleabbreviated and metaphysical, spiritual, visually colorful and yet one-dimensional, and shaded with grays as a photograph might be.
Real England
We see the signs around us every day: the chain cafs and mobile phone outlets that dominate our high streets; the disappearance of knobbly carrots from our supermarket shelves; and the headlines about yet another traditional industry going to the wall. For the first time, here is a book that makes the connection between these isolated, incremental local changes and the bigger picture of a nation whose identity is being eroded. As he travels around the country meeting farmers, fishermen and the inhabitants of Chinatown, Paul Kingsnorth reports on the kind of conversations that are taking place in country pubs and corner shops across the land - while reminding us that these quintessentially English institutions may soon cease to exist.
My Waterloo Stories
The setting of the book is a small town in Northeastern Iowa and the Midwest, 1960s to present day. Mr. Bland shares his memories of growing up in Iowa and his adolescent visits to rural areas of Northern Missouri. Paul Bland holds an undergraduate degree in English and a master's degree in Secondary Education, English from The City College of New York. As well as being a writer, he is a middle and high-school teacher of English Humanities and writing.
Rings and Their Modules
This book is an introduction to the theory of rings and modules that goes beyond what one normally obtains in a graduate course in abstract algebra. The theme of the text is the interplay between rings and modules. At times rings are investigated by considering given sets of conditions on the modules they admit and at other times rings of a certain type are considered to see what structure is forced on their modules. Standard topics in ring and module theory such as chain conditions on rings and modules, injective and projective modules and semisimple rings are included as well as subjects like category theory and homological algebra. The text also contains presentations on topics such as fl...
It Is About the Bike
The book traces a young mans upbringing in a working class part of Sheffield. Like most school leavers of his era, he enters into the steel industry, and a heavybeer-drinking culture. In an attempt to lose weight and return to a reasonable level of fitness he resorts to his childhood love of cycling. His enthusiasm for his passion soon turns to obsession. His life changes, his job and family are sacrificed in pursuit of his goal. Eventually, he realises he isnt destined for greatness and rediscovers how to ride a bike just for enjoyment.
Paul Bartel
Director Paul Bartel enjoyed poking holes in the expectations of audiences and critics with amusing films about murder, greed and transgressive sex--among them Death Race 2000 (1975), Eating Raoul (1982) and Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills (1989). He believed that strange stories that aroused laughter had the potential to disorient viewers and challenge their beliefs about American culture and values. This first book-length study of Bartel's life and work traces his emergence as an independent auteur whose work was praised by Hollywood luminaries like Steven Spielberg, Jim Jarmusch and Brian De Palma. Bartel's experiences as a gay man are explored. Interviews with people who knew him--including Roger Corman, Joe Dante and John Waters--are provided, along with critical analysis of each film.
