William McKinley and His America
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Morgan, H. Wayne, PUBLISHER: Kent State University Press, An extensively revised and expanded edition of the authoritative biography of William McKinley When George W. Bush won the White House, he was the first incumbent Republican governor elected president since William McKinley in . William McKinley was the last of the Civil War veterans to reach the White House. Known widely as the Major, in honor of his military rank, he rose through Congress to head the crucial Ways and Means Committee where, in the early s, he passed a strong and popular tariff bill. That success caught the eye of Marcus Hanna, a Cleveland industrialist with a passion for politics and an ambition to help make and elect a president. Democrats complained that McKinley was a mere puppet of the wealthy Hanna, but historians generally believe they were a well-matched team of two strong-willed men. With Hanna's help, McKinley was elected governor of Ohio in . In McKinley swept away all rivals to win the presidential nomination on the first ballot. Faced in the general election by the well-respected and highly touted orator William Jennings Bryan, Republicans adopted their "Front Porch Campaign. "Thousands of citizens from across the country were brought to McKinley's home in Canton for a handshake and a few words. Hanna arranged for this $3.5 million campaign to be paid for by big business, with oil baron John D. Rockefeller writing the largest check. McKinley's military service and his support among veterans were significant factors in his campaign. He became the first presidential candidate in a generation to win a majority of the popular vote. McKinley was a popular president. Pushed reluctantly into the Spanish-American War, McKinley was instrumental instarting America on the path to becoming a global power. He was reelected by a landslide, and in , after delivering a speech at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, he was assassinated by anarchist Leon Czolgosz. McKinley's vice president, Theodore Roosevelt became the nation's 26th president. H. Wayne Morgan's extensively revised and expanded edition of McKinley and His America will prove to be a welcome resource to historians and scholars.
Julie Andrews: A Life on Stage and Screen
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Windeler, Robert, PUBLISHER: Birch Lane Press, In she celebrated fifty years in show business, having made her professional singing debut at the London Hippodrome in -- at age twelve. In the half century since those last days of British vaudeville through her smash Broadway comeback in Victor/Victoria, Julie Andrews has triumphed as an entertainer. At thirteen Andrews performed for the Queen of England; at nineteen she was a Broadway star. At twenty-one, as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, she became a theatrical legend. By thirty, she was the highest-paid and most beloved actress in the world, with an Academy Award for her first movie, Mary Poppins, and almost instant worldwide box-office championship with The Sound of Music. Her remarkable body of work had stamped her indelibly with an image she would come to hate; the quintessence of perky, wholesome innocence. After two flop musicals, Star and Darling Lili, the press and the public seemed to ignore her. She had turned into box-office poison in Hollywood. But even in semi-exile she worked in an Emmy-winning television variety series, wrote two successful children's books, and concentrated on her growing family. Julie Andrews had become a superstar before she became her own person, and now she made up for lost time. When she reemerged in movies in the s, it was in sensationally different roles, many of them created for her by her husband, Blake Edwards. After Duet for One, The Man Who Loved Women, and A Fine Romance there was no going back to Mary Poppins. In the s she returned to concert tours, musical recordings, and Broadway. She also returned to controversy, by refusing her nomination for an almost certain Tony Award to stand with the "egregiouslyoverlooked" -- the rest of the cast and crew, especially her writer-director husband. Here at last is the full life story of Julie Andrews -- her meteoric rise, her devastating fall, and her remarkable comeback; from the little English girl with the freaky four-octave, crystalline voice to the dynamic legend who has outlasted her critics. Robert Windeler's affectionate and insightful biography reveals the full-blooded woman behind the high and low notes.

By ninth grade she had quit school and spent most of her time in Central Park searching for drugs. While Karen Johnson's experiences may seem like many urban horror stories, hers took a dramatic turn the day she decided to move west and change her name to Whoopi Goldberg.

She lived on welfare and scrambled for whatever jobs she could get, including work as a bricklayer and a makeup artist for a mortician.

She went on to win an Academy Award for her role in Ghost. Whoopi Goldberg had finally made it big.

Cd Jazz Pat Metheny Secret Story
Molti aggettivi sono stati spesi nel corso degli anni per descrivere le virtù tecniche e compositive di Pat, ma forse l'unico che rende giustizia all'artista è "genio". Durante una carriera iniziata circa 35 anni fa, le composizioni di Pat Metheny hanno interessato quasi tutti i generi musicali, dal Jazz al Rock, passando attraverso le Colonne Sonore e la World Music, sempre con la consueta "genialità" che non solo ha ricevuto un grandissimo successo di mercato con oltre 20 milioni di dischi e CD venduti sino ad ora, ma anche regalato a Pat importantissimi riconoscimenti sul piano artistico. Basti pensare che l'artista statunitense ha vinto in totale 17 Grammy award (7 consecutivi) su 33 nomination, per giunta in 10 categorie differenti, impresa sino ad oggi ineguagliata da qualsiasi altro compositore o band! Detto dei Grammy, Pat è riuscito a vincere 3 Gold Records, sia con il suo ensemble storico (Pat Metheny Group) – Still Life Talking e Letter From Home –, che come solista, guarda caso con Secret Story. Quest'ultimo album, pubblicato nel , è un progetto sontuoso che vede coinvolti oltre a membri della prestigiosa London Simphony Orchestra, circa 80 special guest come Will Lee, Charlie Haden, Steve Rodby, Anthony Jackson, Steve Ferrone, Paul Wertico, Gil Goldstein, Lyle Mays, e Toots Thielemans giusto per citarne alcuni. Da uno squisito punto di vista musicale, come sonorità l'album offre spunti di Jazz, New Age, Musica Classica, Rock, World Music ecc. In parole povere è semplicemente un mix irresistibile di diverse influenze musicali che, in un certo senso, vengono ridefinite. E' uno dei pochi album che portereste su un'isola deserta e che potete ascoltare milioni di volte senza stancarvi. Alterna passaggi epici ad altri scherzosi, tristi, intensi, felici. E' davvero difficile cercare di descrivere la bellezza, lo spessore musicale ed emotivo di tale album, composto, come dicevamo, da un genio all'apice della sua forma. Ed è proprio per questo che per una volta ci asterremo dal suggerire le migliori tracce. La verità è che ciascuna di esse è eccezionale a suo modo. Ascoltate questo Album se non lo avete ancora fatto. Non ve ne pentirete! Questa "Storia" non dovrebbe rimanere "Segreta" …
