This volume provides an overview of the use of propaganda and bias, and the historical accuracy in more than 350 films and film series. The author chose works that are based on personal stories, or that portray documented historical incidents. The majority of films discussed deal with 19th- and 20th-century events. Organization is by broad topics such as the military, sports, music, race relations, labor, business, politics, and crime. Entries range from about a half-page to two pages.
At the end of WWII, themes in music shifted from soldiers' experiences at war to coming home, marrying their sweethearts, and returning to civilian life. The music itself also shifted, with crooners such as Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra replacing the Big Bands of years past. Country music, jazz, and gospel continued to evolve, and rhythm and blues and the new rock and roll were also popular during this Time. Music is not created without being influenced by the political events and societal changes of its time, and the Music of the Postwar Era is no exception.
The Songbook provides the words and music for all 60 songs and chants from the Tiny Talk series. It can be used in conjunction with the series, or alongside any kindergarten material. The songs and chants have been specially written for 3-6 year olds by world-famous songwriter Carolyn Graham. Charming illustrations set the context and bring the songs to life for young children. Melody lines and guitar chords in the Songbook enable teachers to play their own instruments in the classroom. Spiral binding allows the book to lie flat on a piano or music stand, freeing the teacher's hands for playing an instrument or using the Tiny Talk puppets.
What do Terry Pratchett, Jackson Pollock, Star Trek, and Velcro have in common?
They are all invoked by science writer Jennifer Ouellette to shed vibrant new light upon some of the most revolutionary scientific developments in the history of mankind. The Addams Family Values illustrate Newton's laws, Back to the Future demonstrates the finer points of special relativity, and Jeannette Winterson's novel Gut Symmetries provides an elegant metaphorical framework for string theory. Combining anecdote, analogy, and colourful historical details with literature, art, and music, Black Bodies and Quantum Cats is witty and entertaining proof that physics is not arcane or even very scary, but is instead an exciting human endeavour - and a fundamental part of our everyday world. I recommend this book to all lovers of true life and nature - physics- around us :) - stovokor
