Book Description
Set in 1970, in the last, dark days of hippiedom, Perv -- A Love Story is the saga of Bobby Stark, a sixteen-year-old batch of desire and angst struggling to stay sane in a world gone Day-Glo. As the novel opens, Bobby loses his virginity in a drug-addled tryst with a one-armed barber's daughter. For his sins he's thrown out of school and dispatched to live with his mom, a festive electro shock aficionado, whose condo he flees to track down Michelle, the gorgeously damaged, lasped Hare Krishna-ette he's adored since kindergarten. Like the rest of their generation, the couple hit the road for California, only to be picked up in a hell-fueled Lincoln by a pair of Bad Hippies -- Meat and Varnish -- smacked-out spiritual cousins to Charles Manson. From here the trip gets vicious.... Already an underground classic, Perv-A Love Story is relentlessly twisted, sexy, and savagely funny literary excursion, a novel of doomed youth in the era when Flower Power had begun to wilt.

Book Description
The New York Times Bestseller From one of the country’s most recognizable journalists, Lesley Stahl of CBS's 60 Minutes: How becoming a grandmother transforms a woman’s life. After four decades as a reporter, Lesley Stahl’s most vivid and transformative experience of her life was not covering the White House, interviewing heads of state, or researching stories at 60 Minutes. It was becoming a grandmother. She was hit with a jolt of joy so intense and unexpected, she wanted to “investigate” it—as though it were a news flash. And so, using her 60 Minutes skills, she explored how grandmothering changes a woman’s life, interviewing friends like Whoopi Goldberg, colleagues like Diane Sawyer (and grandfathers, including Tom Brokaw), as well as the proverbial woman next door. Along with these personal accounts, Stahl speaks with scientists and doctors about physiological changes that occur in women when they have grandchildren; anthropologists about why there are grandmothers, in evolutionary terms; and psychiatrists about the therapeutic effects of grandchildren on both grandmothers and grandfathers. Throughout Becoming Grandma, Stahl shares stories about her own life with granddaughters Jordan and Chloe, about how her relationship with her daughter, Taylor, has changed, and about how being a grandfather has affected her husband, Aaron. In an era when baby boomers are becoming grandparents in droves and when young parents need all the help they can get raising their children, Stahl’s book is a timely and affecting read that redefines a cherished relationship.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Egelkraut-Remp-Wolfram Uhl-Adler Families, 1788-1943 Small beginnings sometimes lead to unexpected developments. When Albert C. Wolfram invited a number of relatives to meet at his home in Monterey, Indiana, on Sunday, September 23, 1917, he Prob ably did not think that a family history would be an offshoot 0 that gathering; however, this small book can easily be traced to that family meeting, the first wolfram-egelkraut reunion. This gathering was continued annually in August. The name Wolfram was used with Egelkraut because the idea originated in the Wolfram family; and also to identify it with people who lived in the community, since no one named Egelkraut was known in this part of Indiana. For several years the meetings were held at Monterey, then transferred to Potawatomi Park, South Bend, as being more nearly central. An offering was received annually, the balance above expenses accumulating in a fund with the making of a family history in view. It was at the reunion in 1922 that formal action was taken toward a permanent record of the family, and a committee was appointed to carry out this action. The committee consisted of Albert C. Wolfram, Kate Hardesty, Edna Stahl, Allen A. Norris, Mary Merz and Charley Egelkraut. The task of writing the book fell to Dr. Norris, who cheerfully started upon his duties as author. But plans and objectives were not yet fully developed and Other members of the committee were somewhat lax, probably because they did not know what to do. The work lagged and another committee was appointed some years later to assist him further. Even then, there was lacking the co operation necessary for assembling all the desired information, though much of the genealogy was compiled by Dr. Norris with the assistance of Ida Klampe. At the 1941 reunion, Allen Norris asked, because of ill health, to be relieved of the work. His request was granted, after which the group decided that the Stahl girls should take it up. It was suggested that you sit on people's doorsteps until you get the information you want. After a number of drives and calls, numerous letters and cards and some research work, the missing data and stories for most of the families have been collected and some historical facts added. Members of the family now living have drawn from the storehouse of their memory incidents they learned from their parents, grand parents and friends, and have passed them on to the rest of us. Dates have been secured from family Bibles, other records and tombstones. Old letters, old papers, legal and Otherwise, old account books, family albums, encyclopaedias, history books and libraries have been among the contributors to this book. Consequently, it is the result of the combined efforts of the entire group, .as in all but a few cases, at least one member of a family co-operated in supplying information. We regret that in a few instances we have had no responses, and that the accounts for those families are, therefore, very brief or lacking alto gether. We have striven for accuracy and are very sorry for any errorsthat may have crept in. We express our deep appreciation for all assistance and contributions.

Book Description
Plagued by the suicides of both his siblings, and heir to alcohol and drug abuse, divorce, and economic ruin, James Brown lived a life clouded by addiction, broken promises, and despair. In The Los Angeles Diaries, he reveals his struggle for survival, mining his past to present the inspiring story of his redemption. Beautifully written and limned with dark humor, these twelve deeply confessional, interconnected chapters address personal failure, heartbreak, the trials of writing for Hollywood, and the life–shattering events that finally convinced Brown that he must "change or die." In "Snapshot," Brown is five years old and recalls the night his mother "sets fire to an apartment building down the street." In "Daisy," Brown purchases a Vietnamese potbellied pig for his wife to atone for his sins, only to find the pig's bulk growing in direct proportion to the tensions in his marriage. Harrowing and brutally honest, The Los Angeles Diaries is the chronicle of a man on a collision course with life, who ultimately finds the strength and courage to conquer his demons and believe once more.

Book Description
The profusion of research on film history means that there are now few Hollywood filmmakers in the category of Neglected Master; John M Stahl (1886–1950) has been stuck in it for far too long. His strong association with melodrama and the womans film is a key to this neglect; those mainstays of popular cinema are no longer the object of critical scorn or indifference, but Stahl has until now hardly benefited from this welcome change in attitude. His remarkable silent melodramas were either lost, or buried in archives, while his major sound films such as Imitation of Life and Magnificent Obsession, equally successful in their time, have been overshadowed by the glamour of the 1950s remakes by Douglas Sirk. Sirk is a far from neglected figure; Stahls much longer Hollywood career deserves attention and celebration in its own right, as this book definitively shows. Drawing on a wide range of film and document archives, scholars from three continents come together to cover Stahls work, as director and also producer, from its beginnings during World War I to his death, as a still active filmmaker, in 1950. Between them they make a strong case for Stahl as an important figure in cinema history, and as author of many films that still have the power to move their audiences.
