Edward A. Freeman

Beschreibung

In "History of the Cathedral Church of Wells," Edward A. Freeman intricately chronicles the architectural, religious, and sociopolitical evolution of one of England's most significant ecclesiastical structures. The narrative blends meticulous historical research with a lyrical prose style that reflects the grandeur of the Cathedral itself. Freeman's work is situated within the Victorian era's burgeoning interest in Gothic architecture and medieval history, serving as both a scholarly treatise and a celebration of the Cathedral's enduring legacy. He delves into the myriad influences that shaped the church, from its early foundations to its modern-day significance, harmonizing historical facts with evocative descriptions. Edward A. Freeman, a prominent 19th-century historian and advocate for the importance of a united historical narrative, imbues his writings with a sense of place and purpose. His scholarly background, bolstered by an interest in ecclesiastical history and the social climate of his time, provides a rich context for understanding the intricate relationship between religion and architecture. Freeman's insights on the interplay between historical continuity and change allow readers to appreciate not only the Cathedral's past but its role in shaping community identity. "History of the Cathedral Church of Wells" is recommended for anyone with an interest in architectural history, religious studies, or the medieval period. Freeman's thorough research, enhanced by his poetic sensibility, renders this volume both informative and engaging, inviting readers to experience the timeless beauty and historical weight of Wells Cathedral.

Funny Voices in Small Padded...

Todd Schick

There are "how to" books on voiceover or voice acting and then, there is this singular book on the truth of the voiceover business.
Superbly narrated with extensive sound design, Todd brings over three decades of knowledge and experience in voiceover to the table. Weaving stories of the voiceover industry and its history, Todd reveals the raw truth of the business in what can only be described as an aural sculpture.
In comparison to most eBook/audiobook offerings, this book is like no other; setting precedent for sonic entertainment within the audiobook/e-book realm.
With the release of this book, Todd Schick throws down the gauntlet using the power of his voice and pen. Blending sound, comedy, drama and personal experiences, it boldly reveals the genuine, honest truth everyone should hear about the modern-day voiceover industry.
From the inventor of the modern-day voice talent business model, Todd Schick brings a cast of voices from many sources and colleagues (including his dog and parrot) to this rare, entertaining and incredibly informative publication on voiceover and voice acting; the first in an on-going series.
From the Author's Introduction:
"There is no such thing as the "bible" of voiceover or voice acting; to make that claim is to sell someone a dream.
Indeed, books on voiceover or voice acting are rarely narrated by the author, much less feature sound design.
Voiceover is an aural product; spoken words born from imagination, to communicate imagination. I could not in good conscience publish a book on voiceover without recording it; doing anything less would speak to the integrity of the content and author.
In my humble opinion, it's pointless to publish any book on voiceover and/or voice acting if the customer can't hear the product. That said, if you choose to purchase the e-book version of this publication, be sure to listen to it; you'll really be missing out by simply reading text.

William Shakespeare

As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1599 and first published in the First Folio in 1623. The play's first performance is uncertain, though a performance at Wilton House in 1603 (the house having been a focus for literary activity under Mary Sidney for much of the later 16th century) has been suggested as a possibility. 
As You Like It follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court, accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and, eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden. In the forest, they encounter a variety of memorable characters, notably the melancholy traveller Jaques, who speaks one of Shakespeare's most famous speeches ("All the world's a stage") and provides a sharp contrast to the other characters in the play, always observing and disputing the hardships of life in the country.

100 Things to Hate Before You Die

Claudia Stavola

Comedian Claudia Stavola understands we’re living in sensitive times and the word hate is controversial, so she doesn’t use it loosely. She only uses it for serious infractions like gender reveal parties, guys who wear shorts when it’s forty below, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina candle.  
You’ll be thoroughly entertained and in awe of how Stavola’s raucous sarcasm mirrors your inner most thoughts in this hilarious collection of easy-to-read essays. With her witty and insightful observations, she’s like a modern-day George Carlin, except hairier. (Hey, she’s Italian. She was born with a mustache). 
100 Things to Hate Before You Die is astute, honest, and laugh-out-loud funny. Claudia shares her aggravation over a range of topics from mundane things like Fakebook, crappy gift-givers, and ukuleles on talent show auditions, to more thought-provoking topics such as people with no shame, the need for a license to parent, and the death of Eddie Van Halen.  
Delivered with razor-sharp force, Stavola’s hysterical and unique takes on everyday a**holes makes this not only a great read for comedy lovers, but a must-read.

No Daylight in That Face -...

Barry Gifford

For a tour of noir cinema, No Daylight in That Face is the perfect companion, and Barry Gifford is an ideal guide. His choice selection of films exposes the menacing, moody, and oftentimes violent underbelly of this dark movie genre that occupies a favorite niche in American popular culture. Some are classics, some are little known and seldom seen, but all, once viewed, are deeply remembered by aficionados of noir. Gifford's roll call of unforgettables includes these, and more: The Asphalt Jungle, Body and Soul, Body Heat, Charley Varrick, Chinatown, The Devil Thumbs a Ride, D.O.A., Double Indemnity, High Sierra, Key Largo, Kiss of Death, Mean Streets, Mildred Pierce, Mr. Majestyk, Out of the Past, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, Strangers on a Train, and White Heat. 
 
 
 
Gifford identifies the directors and names the many noir stars, the greats and not-so-greats who were cast in the indelible roles of hoods, B-girls, psychopaths, grifters, gumshoes, waifs, tarts, femme fatales, mobsters, molls, and ex-cons. 
 
 
 
With a connoisseur's insight and an offbeat sensitivity perfectly tailored to his subjects, Gifford's brief essays cover a hundred of the noir buff's favorites. His highly polished impressions take the listener through five decades of noir to find both the heart and the art of the plotline.
