Grease, Tell Me More, Tell Me More is a fabulous rockin’ and
rollin’ origin story with every juicy inspiration that went into
creating it. . . . A must read for all Grease fans." - Didi
Conn, Grease’s “Frenchy” What started as an amateur play with
music in a converted trolly barn in Chicago hit Broadway fifty
years ago—and maintains its cultural impact today. Grease
opened downtown in the Eden Theatre February 14, 1972, short of
money, short of audience, short of critical raves, and seemingly
destined for a short run. But like the little engine that could,
this musical of high school kids from the 1950s moved uptown. On
December 8, 1979, it became the longest running show—play or
musical—in Broadway history. Grease: Tell Me More, Tell Me
More is a collection of memories and stories from over one
hundred actors and musicians, including the creative team and crew
who were part of the original Broadway production and in the many
touring companies it spawned. Here are stories—some touching,
some hilariously funny—from names you may recognize: Barry
Bostwick, John Travolta, Adrienne Barbeau, Treat Williams, Marilu
Henner, Peter Gallagher, and others you may not: Danny Jacobson,
creator of Mad About You; Tony-winning Broadway directors Walter
Bobbie and Jerry Zaks; bestselling authors Laurie Graff and John
Lansing; television stars Ilene Kristen, Ilene Graff, and Lisa
Raggio, and many, many more. Read about the struggles, the
battles, and the ultimate triumphs achieved in shaping the story,
characters, and music into the iconic show now universally
recognized the world over.

This book is written for beginning and intermediate wood carvers
interested in carving a traditional Hopi kachina-style doll. Tom
Moore, a respected kachina-style doll carver for forty years,
provides historical information about the evolution of kachina
dolls and kachina carvings. He traces the art form from the early
days, when the dolls were intended to be educational toys for
children, until modern times, when they became wood sculptures
collected by non-Hopis, costing thousands of dollars. This
fascinating book provides patterns, respectful background
information, and step-by-step instructions for carving and painting
Corn Dancer, Poli Sio Hemis, and Crow Mother in the traditional
manner. Tom's interpretations of the dolls include the traditional
"belly-acher" pose, bright colors of the 1980s style, and the
all-wood approach currently favored by Hopi carvers. The book
provides a photo gallery, index of terms, and lists of tools used
and materials required.

European first millennium BC studies have witnessed an increasing
theoretical divide between the approaches adopted in different
countries. Whilst topics such as ethnicity, identity, and agency
have dominated many British studies, such themes have had less
resonance in continental approaches. At the same time, British and
Iberian first millennium BC studies have become increasingly
divorced from research elsewhere in Europe. While such divergence
reflects deep historical divisions in theory and methodology
between European perspectives, it is an issue that has been largely
ignored by scholars of the period. This volume addresses these
issues by bringing together 33 papers by leading Bronze Age and
Iron Age scholars from France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Ireland,
North America, and the United Kingdom. Initial chapters from
leading specialists introduce major themes (landscape studies,
social organisation, historiography, dynamics of change, and
identity), providing overviews on the history of approaches to
these areas, personal perspectives on current problems, and
possible future research directions. Subsequent chapters by key
researchers develop these topics, presenting case studies and
in-depth discussions of particular issues relating to the first
millennium BC in the Atlantic realm of Western Europe.
This self-help book will put you back in touch with your guardian
angels or strengthen your spiritual beliefs. You will have more fun
and less stress in your life. It will assist you in achieving
whatever goals you have set for yourself in your life. It will
assist you in handling those major challenges we all experience in
life. This book will even inspire you to learn more about our world
and universe. How can I promise all these benefits? Because I have
been using these concepts for over ten years, and I can report
these successes from direct knowledge and experience. But this is a
self-help guide, so that means that it requires active
participation on your part. What you are going to read in this book
is unique information that you have never seen before! This book is
for people of all faiths and beliefs -- the only requirement is a
basic belief in angels.

Upcountry South Carolina Goes to War chronicles the lives and
concerns of the Anderson, Brockman, and Moore families of piedmont
South Carolina during the late-antebellum and Civil War eras
through 124 letters dated 1853 to 1865. The letters provide
valuable firsthand accounts of evolving attitudes toward the war as
conveyed between battlefronts and the home front, and they also
express rich details about daily life in both environments. As the
men of service age from each family join the Confederate ranks and
write from military camps in Virginia and the Carolinas, they
describe combat in some of the war's more significant battles.
Though the surviving combatants remain staunch patriots to the
Southern cause until the bitter end, in their letters readers
witness the waning of initial enthusiasm in the face of the
realities of combat. The corresponding letters from the home front
offer a more pragmatic assessment of the period and its hardships.
Emblematic of the fates of many Southern families, the experiences
of these representative South Carolinians are dramatically
illustrated in their letters from the eve of the Civil War through
its conclusion.
Oxbow says: In this synthesis of archaeological evidence for Iron
Age societies in the Severn-Cotswolds, Tom Moore seeks to examine
patterns of social organisation and process of social and landscape
change from c.800 BC to the mid-late 1st century AD. The chapters
look in turn at sites across the landscape, especially through
cropmarks, settlements, houses and other structures, burials, and
material culture evidence (pottery, querns, salt production,
metalwork, coins, agricultural production, glass beads).
"For all those finding it difficult: the sun will shine on you
again and the clouds will go away. Remember that tomorrow will be a
good day." Captain Sir Tom Moore captured the hearts of a nation,
as he walked 100 laps of his garden to raise money for the NHS.
Captain Sir Tom wished to celebrate many other inspirational
stories from this uncertain time, and with his blessing, these one
hundred stories make a book of hope for the future. This is a book
of gratitude for his inspiration, and a celebration of incredible
everyday heroes from across the UK. These beautifully illustrated

1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'A wonderful life story with lessons for
us all . . . beautifully written' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Gloriously
enthralling' DAILY MAIL __________ Captain Sir Tom Moore's story is
all our stories . . . Born at the tail end of the Spanish flu
epidemic, Tom Moore was raised in the Yorkshire Dales by a loving
family that had not escaped tragedy. Yet when the clouds of war
threatened, Tom raised his hand and joined up to fight. The Second
World War took him to the Far East, where his can-do spirit was
forged. Whether fighting for his life in Burma or helming a firm
back home, racing motorbikes or raising a family, he always sought
to do his very best. To make a difference to those around him.
Captain Tom's story is that of our parents and our grandparents. It
is the story of the past hundred years here in Britain. __________

From My Life, the autobiography of the famed music critic Eduard
Hanslick, appeared toward the end of his life, in 1894, when it
went through three printings. It was republished in 1911, and
again, more recently, in 1987, by Bärenreiter, and in 2011, by
Taschenbuch. Born in Prague, Hanslick studied piano with Tomaschek,
and though, like other compatriots and contemporaries, he studied
law and became a government functionary, he went on to become the
most noted and honored music critic in nineteenth-century Vienna,
making his mark with his relatively brief disquisition On the
Musically Beautiful, first issued in 1854. In the Brahms-Wagner
controversy, he was on the side of the former, and was the target
of Wagner’s vicious anti-semitism, even though he had been among
the first to champion Wagner’s work in Vienna. His long and
informative autobiography has never appeared in complete
translation to English or any other language.
