A test pilot, veteran of Desert Storm, crashes while testing a top
secret military device. His injuries rob him of his memory,
reducing him to the level of an animal - but an animal with the
intelligence and reasoning power of a man, and the fear and
desperation of a hunted beast. He leads the men who would save him
on a fantastic chase through the desolate and hostile country of
Death Valley, pitting animal instinct against sophisticated
technology.
Fire For Effect is a WWII story, but not of the ordinary kind.
Based on a true incident, it involves a little known, but vitally
important branch of Military Intelligence - the IPWs -
Interrogators of Prisoners of War. It is the story of a battle of
wits between two officers, good men both, with strong convictions,
integrity and a firm sense of duty - but on opposite sides. And it
concerns a potentially catastrophic event about to happen.

2011 Reprint of 1899 Edition. "The Importance of Being Earnest, A
Trivial Comedy for Serious People" was first performed on 14
February 1895 at St. James's Theatre in London. It is a farcical
comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personae in
order to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the
social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major
themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as
serious as marriage, and the resulting satirical treatment of
Victorian manners and customs. Its high farce and witty dialogue
have helped make it Wilde's most enduringly popular play.

Think giving birth is just one day so your birth choices don't
matter? Think again. Playwright Karen Brody interviewed over one
hundred low-risk, educated mothers about their birth experiences
and turned what she discovered into a critically acclaimed play
"Birth." Today the play is part of BOLD, a global movement to
improve childbirth choices for mothers. If you want to understand
childbirth today then this is a must-read (and see ) play. The
themes in "Birth" are universally found in most industrialized
countries today: a surprisingly large number of pregnant women do
not know their birth options and the risks of medical
interventions; pregnant women are being physically and verbally
coerced; power - and pleasure - are available to women who give
birth; and that inside all pregnant moms there is a knowing that
their bodies rock. "Birth" has been performed to sold-out audiences
throughout the world as part of the BOLD movement, raising money
for projects that educate pregnant mothers and expand their
childbirth choices. This book includes the complete second edition
of "Birth," a foreword by bestselling women's health author Dr.
Christiane Northrup, and Karen Brody's reflections on childbirth
today and how pregnant mothers can have an empowering birth.

Director Martin Scorsese, the legendary storyteller, decided to
make his first-ever 3D film based on the Brian Selznick illustrated
novel which he read four years ago, immediately connected to, and
then shared with his youngest daughter. In reading books to my
daughter, we re-experience the work. So it's like rediscovering the
work of art again, but through the eyes of a child. He decided to
turn to a different film format, and screenwriter John Logan was
chosen to turn Selznick's words and illustrations and transform
them into a screenplay. He had to cut and change some elements of
the book, but, as Selznick says in his introduction: John performed
a kind of magic trick. He took my story and turned it inside out.
He turned it into a story that feels like it was always meant to be
a movie, and yet he also took the time to celebrate books [and] all
happens in the context of a gigantic, glorious, heartfelt,
cinematic masterpiece just makes it all the more meaningful. "Hugo"
is the astonishing adventure of a wily and resourceful boy whose
quest to unlock a secret left to him by his father will transform
Hugo and all those around him, and reveal a safe and loving place
he can call home. Scorsese has assembled an impressive acting
ensemble comprised of rising new talent working alongside venerated
stars of the stage and motion pictures, including Ben Kingsley,
Sacha Baron Cohen, Asa Butterfield, Chloe Grace Moretz, Ray
Winstone, Emily Mortimer, Helen McCrory, Christopher Lee, Richard
Griffiths, Frances De La Tour, Michael Stuhlbarg, and with Jude
Law.
This book is a combination how-to for screenwriters and a memoir of
a woman's journey to becoming a working writer in Hollywood. It is
vital instruction for writers of all genres who want to learn to
get to story fast. Filled with stories from the show biz trenches,
it educates as well as entertains.
