Terence Young directs this 1950s espionage thriller starring John
McCallum, Nadia Gray, Jack Warner and Christopher Lee. When the
Swedish scientist Dr. Nils Ahlen (McCallum) discovers a means of
transmuting sound impulses into electrical currents, his invention
inevitably becomes the sought after tool of governments, businesses
and criminals everywhere. When his wife Helga (Mary Laura Wood) and
key parts of his invention go missing, Ahlen enlists Inspector
Peterson (Warner) of the local police to help him track them down.
The quest leads them to snowy northern terrain where a showdown
with the abductors beckons...
In 1865, when San Francisco's Daily Evening Bulletin asked its
readers if it were not time for the city to finally establish a
public park, residents had only private gardens and small urban
squares where they could retreat from urban crowding, noise, and
filth. Five short years later, city supervisors approved the
creation of Golden Gate Park, the second largest urban park in
America. Over the next sixty years, and particularly after 1900, a
network of smaller parks and parkways was built, turning San
Francisco into one of the nation's greenest cities. In Building San
Francisco's Parks, 1850-1930, Terence Young traces the history of
San Francisco's park system, from the earliest city plans, which
made no provision for a public park, through the private garden
movement of the 1850s and 1860, Frederick Law Olmsted's early
involvement in developing a comprehensive parks plan, the design
and construction of Golden Gate Park, and finally to the expansion
of green space in the first third of the twentieth century. Young
documents this history in terms of the four social ideals that
guided America's urban park advocates and planners in this period:
public health, prosperity, social coherence, and democratic
equality. He also differentiates between two periods in the history
of American park building, each defined by a distinctive attitude
towards "improving" nature: the romantic approach, which prevailed
from the 1860s to the 1880s, emphasized the beauty of nature, while
the rationalistic approach, dominant from the 1880s to the 1920s,
saw nature as the best setting for uplifting activities such as
athletics and education. Building San Francisco's Parks, 1850-1930
maps the political, cultural, and social dimensions of landscape
design in urban America and offers new insights into the
transformation of San Francisco's physical environment and quality
of life through its world-famous park system.

Interracial strife hits Atoka County, Alabama in Director Terence
Young's tense thriller. When local white woman Nancy Poteet (Linda
Evans) is raped one night, apparently by a black man, the
subsequent murder of a black teenager threatens to undermine the
fragile balancing act of local County Sheriff 'Big Track' Bascomb
(Lee Marvin). Undermined by his Klan-supporting deputy (Cameron
Mitchell) and local employer/Mayor, Hardy Riddle (David
Huddlestone), Bascomb tries to keep the lid on the powder-keg of a
potential race-war.
Who are the real campers? Through-hiking backpackers traversing the
Appalachian Trail? The family in an SUV making a tour of national
parks and sleeping in tents at campgrounds? People committed to the
RV lifestyle who move their homes from state to state as season and
whim dictate? Terence Young would say: all of the above. Camping is
one of the country's most popular pastimes-tens of millions of
Americans go camping every year. Whether on foot, on horseback, or
in RVs, campers have been enjoying themselves for well more than a
century, during which time camping's appeal has shifted and
evolved. In Heading Out, Young takes readers into nature and
explores with them the history of camping in the United
States.Young shows how camping progressed from an impulse among
city-dwellers to seek temporary retreat from their exhausting
everyday surroundings to a form of recreation so popular that an
industry grew up around it to provide an endless supply of
ever-lighter and more convenient gear. Young humanizes camping's
history by spotlighting key figures in its development and a
sampling of the campers and the variety of their excursions.
Readers will meet William H. H. Murray, who launched a craze for
camping in 1869; Mary Bedell, who car camped around America for
12,000 miles in 1922; William Trent Jr., who struggled to end
racial segregation in national park campgrounds before World War
II; and Carolyn Patterson, who worked with the U.S. Department of
State in the 1960s and 1970s to introduce foreign service personnel
to the "real" America through trailer camping. These and many
additional characters give readers a reason to don a headlamp, pull
up a chair beside the campfire, and discover the invigorating and
refreshing history of sleeping under the stars.
The End of the Ice Age brings together twelve tales of hardscrabble
characters circling in their lonely orbits. These are stories of
unfulfilled expectations, infidelities and small though ultimately
meaningful victories that allow us to withstand greater losses.
This could be Carver territory if it was not so obviously Young's
world. These stories will linger with you for a long time.
The bad news is everywhere...death by prescription drugs. Michael
Jackson or Whitney Houston get the headlines. But there are
thousands of other people who suffer and die because of the wrong
prescription. This is one harrowing story about a father, a family,
a daughter. Fifteen year of Vanessa began taking Prepulsid after
her doctor prescribed the drug to alleviate a stomach disorder.
Suddenly, unexpectedly, she collapses and dies in her family home.
Confusion, grief, remorse get channeled by Terence Young into
determination to get to the root causes of his daughter’s death.
His investigations take him from Health Canada to the Corner’s
Office, from the sales people of major drug manufacturers to the
medical profession, from the legal profession to the courts. This
is a compelling story, a remarkably well-written and fully
documented book which takes you into the inner workings of the
global drug companies, the intricate relationships between the
pharmaceutical industries and the regulatory bodies of government,
the complicity of the medical profession and the tragic
consequences for the public. Terence H. Young’s deeply personal
story will affect every reader. Death by Prescription has also been
the subject of a documentary film.
