Best-selling winner of the Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship Award, "Chocolate Days, Popsicle Weeks" tells the love story of Fitzie and Janice Fitzpatrick, Silent-Generation Boston Irish Catholics who run away to make it big in New York in the Sixties. "An oft-told tale" one reviewer noted, "but not the way Hannibal tells it. ... Again and again, I felt those frissons of pleasure which superior writing always sends down my back." How these not-so-silent, resilient young lovers manage to save their marriage from the wrecking-ball of Success makes for exhilarating reading-in what the Library Journal called "A great book."
Admans Dilemma
Author: Paul RutherfordPublisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1487522983
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 467
Book Description
The Adman's Dilemma is a cultural biography that explores the rise and fall of the advertising man as a figure who became effectively a licensed deceiver in the process of governing the lives of American consumers. Apparently this personage was caught up in a contradiction, both compelled to deceive yet supposed to tell the truth. It was this moral condition and its consequences that made the adman so interesting to critics, novelists, and eventually filmmakers. The biography tracks his saga from its origins in the exaggerated doings of P.T. Barnum, the emergence of a new profession in the 1920s, the heyday of the adman's influence during the post-WW2 era, the later rebranding of the adman as artist, until the apparent demise of the figure, symbolized by the triumph of that consummate huckster, Donald Trump. In The Adman's Dilemma, author Paul Rutherford explores how people inside and outside the advertising industry have understood the conflict between artifice and authenticity. The book employs a range of fictional and nonfictional sources, including memoirs, novels, movies, TV shows, websites, and museum exhibits to suggest how the adman embodied some of the strange realities of modernity.

A San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of 2016: “Intelligent and impassioned, Citizen Scientist is essential reading for anyone interested in the natural world.” Award-winning writer Mary Ellen Hannibal has long reported on scientists’ efforts to protect vanishing species, but it was only through citizen science that she found she could take action herself. As she wades into tide pools, spots hawks, and scours mountains, she discovers the power of the heroic volunteers who are helping scientists measure—and even slow—today’s unprecedented mass extinction. Citizen science may be the future of large-scale field research—and our planet’s last, best hope.
