What Happened To Sandra?
This is a true story of a horrific paedophile ring that led to the murder of a young girl and a survivor to tell the story. I had to let the world know the truth, as it ate away inside me like venom from a poisonous snake. My family and friends knew a completely different person, as I was really a great actress on and off stage and still can be today. It is about a young, innocent child with a life of such horrendous abuse. This book is certainly not for the weak, or the faint of heart, and it is all true, not elaborated in any way. It's sad and cruel, but there is some humour amongst the story. I do hope you enjoy or, better still, identify with this book.

The Color of Culture
Utilizing written sources as well as nationally representative survey data, Daniel H. Krymkowski analyzes the extent and causes of African American underrepresentation in the cultural realms of golf, hiking, hunting and fishing, water sports, winter sports, classical music, painting and sculpture, ballet, and the theater. African American participation significantly lags behind that of non-Hispanic whites in all of these areas, and it is not due to an aversion to these types of activities. Rather, as Krymkowski shows, its primary sources are racial-ethnic socioeconomic differences, as well as historic and contemporary discrimination, both overt and subtle. These causes are rooted in the systemic racism that continues to plague the United States. The lack of opportunity to participate in such cultural forms deprives African Americans of aesthetic experiences that are central to the human condition, and it has implications for both health and the accumulation of cultural and social capital. Krymkowski also explores current efforts to increase African American representation in these areas of culture and discusses the benefits of doing so.

"Twice the Thrills! Twice the Chills!"
In the mid-1950s, to combat declining theater attendance, film distributors began releasing pre-packaged genre double-bills--including many horror and science fiction double features. Though many of these films were low-budget and low-end, others, such as Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Horror of Dracula and The Fly, became bona fide classics. Beginning with Universal-International's 1955 pairing of Revenge of the Creature and Cult of the Cobra, 147 officially sanctioned horror and sci-fi double-bills were released over a 20-year period. This book presents these double features year-by-year, and includes production details, historical notes, and critical commentary for each film.
