  Famously referred to by US president Woodrow Wilson as “the war to end all wars,” the first world war eclipsed all previous wars with its scale of destruction. With over twenty-seven nations involved, the battle-field horrors and political outcomes of the first truly global military conflict had repercussions that are still felt today.NPR presents a vivid portrait of what most experts consider the first modern war, including profiles of America’s flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker, unlikely savior of war-torn Belgium Herbert Hoover, and the last surviving doughboy Frank Buckles.Contents:Introduction by Rachel MartinWashington’s World War I MemorialStumbling Into World War I, Like Sleepwalkers1913 Leads a Tour of the World a Century AgoA Race Against Time to Find WWI’s Last DoughboysThe Human Toll of the War To End All WarsNational World War I MuseumFrank Buckles: Last U.S. Veteran of World War IBelgian Exhibit Honors Hoover’s WWI EffortChristmas TruceBattle of the River AisneWWI Poetry: The Words of WarGround War: Winston RochetLast Post: Final Thoughts from Britain’s WWI VetsDiary Provides Black Soldier’s View of WWIBattle of the SommeFrance Pays Tribute to Early U.S. Fighter PilotsThomas Sopwith, Plane Designer“Fast Eddie” RickenbackerRobert K.

  Brian Moylan takes readers on a table-flipping, finger-pointing VIP voyage through reality TV in The Housewives (2021). 
  The Real Housewives of Orange County began on Bravo in spring 2006. Its stars were tanned, taut, and bejeweled; their houses were like mansions; and the drama was gossip-fueled and wine-soaked. Along with the Real Housewives of New York, Atlanta, New Jersey, Miami, Potomac, and others, the show has become an institution after fifteen seasons. The housewives have launched thirty-one books, fourteen albums, a cocktail line, a couple supermodel kids, Andy Cohen's talk show career, and over one million memes. They’ve been involved in two jail terms, thirty-six divorces, and a White House party crash. 
  Culture maven and Housewives fan Brian Moylan offers the inside scoop on every iconic fight and storyline. He has a lot to say about the legacy and fandom of a property that is inextricably linked to modern pop culture.

  Voices of Liberty is a play for a single actor that was performed at Lincoln Center, Faneuil Hall in Boston and in tours across the country. A narrator introduces people from both sides of the American Revolution, and we learn what Liberty meant to them. Before the first shots were fired, Patrick Henry passionately defends the colonists right to stand against British tyranny. Then we share the first battle of the war with a British soldier as he yearns for something more valuable in his life. There’s a high-born British officer who thinks little of the colonists until he encounters them in conflict. We meet a colonial farmer volunteer who gives a detailed account of what happened at Bunker Hill and tells how that day taught him the meaning of freedom. General Washington’s aide describes the day he recruited a spy, and finally we discover how Nathan Hale’s last words became a beacon of hope to all in the colonies.

  Author Barry Stone has served his apprenticeship as a western movie geek and aficionado. The Magnificent Seven, The Wild Bunch, Red River – for 50 years the western has been the only genre in a life that 'just ain't big enough for two'. He has written on the history of cinema for the illustrated reference book Historica, is a regular attendee to western premieres for FOX Studios Australia, and was recently a guest of the Museum of Western Film History in Independence, California.
  
  Intrigued by the idea of frontier wilderness, of law and order vs lawlessness, and a firm belief that 'the better the bad guy, the better the film', he goes beyond the American south-west to pay homage to the Italian and even Australian western – and, after much deliberation, he ranks them in order…
