Bombshell - Boogie Woogie II Your spouse, lover, significant other, or trusted friend - cheated on you. Wow! He or she betrayed the sacred vows and commitment you made on your wedding day, before witness and God only to leave you to suffer through the sickening whirlwind of anger, grief, anxiety, and, perhaps worst of all, your shattered sense of sense of self-esteem due to being caught up in the boogie woogie. You are terrified! Period! You feel hopeless; as there is no way you will ever be able to get past the horror and put the pieces of your devastated marriage or relationship back together again ... But it happened. You will get over it. Even the best in our society goes through the hurt and boogie woogie. Boogie Woogie II will share the pain, healing, laughter, and awareness of those perhaps caught up and those that were smart enough to heal and move on. But in order to defeat the boogie woogie the following notions must be accepted and understood: betrayal, being vengeful, feeling guilt, being in a state of fear, carrying around anger, feeling frustrated, and paranoid feelings, and disappointment (not necessarily in these order).

The golden age of animation stretched from the early 1930s to the mid-1950s, with movie cartoons reaching an extraordinarily high level of artistry and technique--far higher than today's TV cartoons, for instance. Nearly 1000 cartoons were produced by the seven major animation studios in the U.S. between January 1, 1939, and September 30, 1945--the immediate pre-World War II period up to the cessation of hostilities. More than a quarter of the cartoons substantially refer to the war, and thereby are invaluable in helping to understand American attitudes and Hollywood's reflection of them. The meat of Doing Their Bit is a filmography with extremely detailed summaries of the 260 or so commercially produced, animated, war-related shorts, 1939-1945. There is also a good bit of overall commentary on these films as a group. Two chapters wrap up animated cartoons of World War I and the general political tenor of animated talkies of the 1930s. This edition also includes a new chapter on the outrageous government-sponsored Pvt Snafus.

Philadelphia Stories is a kind of family album. As in their earlier volume, Still Philadelphia: A Photographic History, 1890-1940, Miller, Vogel, and Davis have collected photographs of ordinary lives and daily events from 1920 to 1960 that have shaped the collective memory of people in the Philadelphia area. Through a series of photo essays, Philadelphia Stories evokes the mood of an era that embraced the Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War, and the complacent prosperity of the 1950s. Contemporary photos document physical changes in the metropolitan area: the developing skyline, the streets of rowhouses, the expanding suburbs. Details on homelife, food prices, school activities, local politics, shopping, social mores, and neighborhood customs chronicle experiences that are in many ways distinct to Philadelphians but also indicative of dramatic social, political, and economic shifts in the United States over forty years. Using photojournalism as the dominant style of documentary photography—and consciousness making—the book also features three prototypical family albums. These collections of snapshots taken by local residents to record weddings, holidays, and other family events not only depict how people saw themselves at various times but reveal the kinds of memories they wanted to keep. While major national events create the context for this social history, the book focuses on the daily lives of Philadelphians: as they cope with the Depression, participate in New Deal programs, buy automobiles and television sets, grow Victory Gardens, hold air raid drills, visit the Freedom Train, move to the suburbs, cling to old neighborhoods, and maintain tradition amid flux.Philadelphia Stories celebrates the recent past in the words and images of those who experienced it. It is a family album for all who know and love the city. Author note: Fredric M. Miller is Curator of the Urban Archives Center, Paley Library, Temple University.Morris J. Vogel is Professor of History, Temple University.Allen F. Davis is Professor of History, Temple University.

His Will and Mine: Pleasing Benefits of Joyful Service to the Lord explains the terms and conditions of our existence before, during and after rebirth. The book gives reasons why this is possible for undeserving, sinful creatures like ourselves. Says author Andy Reddick, When making ourselves a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, we conform to His will as God orchestrates, but we find ourselves at peace, fully enjoying the enrichment process that changes us through His grace. Originality is featured as we serve and praise Him in complete happiness. Our perfection was lost as a result of once exercising free choice against God's will, but we are pardoned for this offense and all others. Therefore, excuses for hanging onto our own selfish agenda are lame. In the rebirth regeneration, Jesus allows us an alternative that delivers us away from the cursed world. This wonderful gift of salvation is a binding process with the most solid foundation in the universe, and the choice to subscribe to it is ours. From a state of being spiritually dead, we are raised to life and awakened to a magic kingdom with a joyful future, so notes the book His Will and Mine.

Healso became one of the culture's most mysterious and tragic figures--but after spending years lost in a wilderness of despair, Wilson has fought his way back to productivity. Now journalist Carlin, who conducted in-depth interviews with dozens of sourcesand listened to hundreds of hours of unreleased studio recordings and live music, tells a uniquely American story of the band, the music, and the culture the Beach Boys both sang about and helped create.--From publisher description.

The “after-hours club” is a fixture of the African American ghetto. It is a semisecret, unlicensed “spot” where “regulars” and “tourists” mingle with “hustlers” to buy and use drugs long after regular bars are closed and the party has ended for the “squares.” After-hours clubs are found in most cities, but for people outside of their particular milieu, they are formidably difficult to identify and even more difficult to access. The sociologist Terry Williams returns to the cocaine culture of Harlem in the 1980s and ’90s with an ethnographic account of a club he calls Le Boogie Woogie. He explores the life of a cast of characters that includes regulars and bar workers, dealers and hustlers, following social interaction around the club’s active bar, with its colorful staff and owner and the “sniffers” who patronize it. In so doing, Williams delves into the world of after-hours clubs, exploring their longstanding function in the African American community as neighborhood institutions and places of autonomy for people whom mainstream society grants few spaces of freedom. He contrasts Le Boogie Woogie, which he visited in the 1990s, with a Lower East Side club, dubbed Murphy’s Bar, twenty years later to show how “cool” remains essential to those outside the margins of society even as what it means to be “cool” changes. Le Boogie Woogie is an exceptional ethnographic portrait of an underground culture and its place within a changing city.
