Growing Up in Gulfport
Author: John Cuevas
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1439668299
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
During the '50s and into the '60s, Gulfport's booming downtown was unmatched in the state, while its vibrant waterfront nightlife kept the coast rocking long after other small towns were fast asleep. Those who lived in Gulfport during that golden age have warm memories of high school bonfires on the beach, submarine races at the Rock Pile and parties at the Fiesta. After a day splashing in the Gulf, there were Wheel Burgers at Spiders, ice cream cones at Stone's, cold beers at Elsie's and snowballs at the Pop Corn King. This nostalgic look at boomer-era Gulfport is the surest way to step on back to the glory years.

Gregory Peck
Author: Lynn Haney
Publisher: Da Capo Press
ISBN: 0786737816
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 498
Book Description
His first screen test was a disaster, his features were large and irregular, his left ear outsized the right, yet he would one day be headlined as the Most Handsome Man in the World. And most of his leading ladies—among them, Ingrid Bergman, Jennifer Jones, Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, and Ava Gardner—would not disagree. Irreverent, candid, refreshingly honest, Lynn Haney's carefully researched biography not only charts the remarkable career of the Oscar-winning star but also plumbs Peck's frequently troubling complexity in his off-screen roles as husband, father, lover, and son. About the tough times, Haney minces no words; but the misfortunes by no means eclipse the energy, intensity, and excitement that characterized Peck's five decades of moviemaking. This is a book filled with telling photographs, and a story cast with movie moguls from Louis B. Mayer to Darryl Zanuck, with directors from Hitchcock and Walsh to Huston and Wyler, with nearly every major luminary in Hollywood, and, starring for the first time in toto, Gregory Peck.

Life's a Blog
Author: Richard Plant
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 147594179X
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
WEB LOG Blog. New word. Old usage. You've been 'blogging' for years without the 'interweb', even if you didn't realise it. Blog is derived from 'Web Log'. Blogging is recording comments or opinions on facts of the day, and placing it (posting) on social media outlets for all to see. It is like keeping a public diary, which is what Rex and Katie have done singly and together over the years. "Life's a Blog" is the sixth dive into those diaries and the resultant stories, all based on fact, are an eclectic mix of memoir, travel, opinion and everyday living. Some are told with humour in verse. In some, fact may have been embellished a tiny bit. Join them on their journey. Enjoy the foibles of the people they come across. Marvel at the way 'the other lot' live life, love life and worry about life at the same time. And laugh out loud as you do! There might be a tear on one page, a smile on the next, then a frown, a laugh, some concern and an understanding that there is a sole universe for every single person on this planet.

Heaven in the American Imagination
Author: Gary Scott Smith
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199831971
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
Does heaven exist? If so, what is it like? And how does one get in? Throughout history, painters, poets, philosophers, pastors, and many ordinary people have pondered these questions. Perhaps no other topic captures the popular imagination quite like heaven. Gary Scott Smith examines how Americans from the Puritans to the present have imagined heaven. He argues that whether Americans have perceived heaven as reality or fantasy, as God's home or a human invention, as a source of inspiration and comfort or an opiate that distracts from earthly life, or as a place of worship or a perpetual playground has varied largely according to the spirit of the age. In the colonial era, conceptions of heaven focused primarily on the glory of God. For the Victorians, heaven was a warm, comfortable home where people would live forever with their family and friends. Today, heaven is often less distinctively Christian and more of a celestial entertainment center or a paradise where everyone can reach his full potential. Drawing on an astounding array of sources, including works of art, music, sociology, psychology, folklore, liturgy, sermons, poetry, fiction, jokes, and devotional books, Smith paints a sweeping, provocative portrait of what Americans-from Jonathan Edwards to Mitch Albom-have thought about heaven.
