This illustrated book provides a nostalgic look at the songs, singers and bands of the World War II era, from the rise of the big band sound in the prewar years to the emergence of the vocalists as stars from 1941 to 1945. Discover how legendary performers, including Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Dinah SHgre and kate Smith got their start singing with the great bands of the Dorsey brothers, Harry James and other famous bandleaders of the time.
Christmas trees, twinkling lights, skating in the park, and holiday displays are the hallmark elements for celebrating Jesus' birth for the sentimental residents of Nativity, Missouri.
Through separate treatment of Defoe, Richardson, Fielding, Smollett, and Sterne, the author tells the whole story of what lies between the practical Crusoe's shipwreck (1719) and the sentimental Yorick's stretching out of his hand (1768). In that half century, prose fiction grew to full stature.

CUSTOMIZING THE BODY
The Art and Culture of Tattooing
REVISED AND EXPANDED EDITION
In those days, a tattoo was still a souvenir—a keepsake to mark a journey, the love of your life, a heartbreak, a port of call. The body was like a photo album; the tattoos themselves didn’t have to be good photographs. . . . And the old tattoos were always sentimental: you didn’t mark yourselffor life if you weren’t sentimental (Irving, 2005: 74–75).
