Sinossi

Bizarre Casting Choices explores the often-surprising world of casting decisions in film and television. It examines why actors who seem completely wrong for a role are sometimes chosen, and the impact these choices have on the final product. The book argues that these seemingly odd pairings can add unexpected dimensions to characters, challenging audience expectations.

 
The book delves into instances of intentional miscasting and casting decisions that, on the surface, seem illogical. For example, understanding these choices requires considering factors beyond simple talent, such as star power and directorial vision. It also explores how historical context and shifting cultural norms impact casting decisions, particularly in biographical films.

 
Beginning with a definition of "bizarre" casting, the book progresses through case studies, analyzing factors that contribute to these decisions. It considers the financial aspects of casting, the director's role in challenging conventional choices, and the impact of casting controversies.

 
Ultimately, the book emphasizes the ethics of casting, especially in biographical works, and the filmmaker's responsibility to portray subjects accurately.

    From his first day of teaching in one of the most deprived towns in the United Kingdom to the end of his career as headteacher of a large international school, Graham Lacey reflects on thirty-five years at the 'chalkface', through a number of specific experiences that helped shape his views, practical and theoretical, on educational matters.
    
    While Graham is convinced there are certain prerequisites for a successful career in the profession, his tales illustrate that there can be no substitute for bitter experience. They reveal the steadily narrowing gap between the heady idealism with which Graham entered the profession and the painful reality as he progressed through it.
    
    His anecdotes are laced with humour and predicaments that are likely to resonate with members of the teaching profession and shed light on human behaviour for other readers.
    
    In short, Graham suggests that a comical or chastening experience may turn into a salutary lesson learnt. In that sense, Graham implies, the school classroom is perhaps no more nor less different from the world outside it.

    From from New York Times bestselling author and retired US Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills, here are twelve principles to heal after trauma and overcome adversity. “This book is a master class in recovery, renewal, and recalibration.  Travis does not make excuses. Travis does not complain.  Travis is not held back by challenges he faces—he is propelled forward by them.  Let’s be more like Travis.”  —From the Foreword by Jocko Willink    We all have those moments, the ones where we are set adrift by a life-changing event.  Yet we often lack the ability to parse these moments, understand how to respond, and move beyond them.  Travis Mills, a veteran and a quadruple amputee, was confronted with this in the wake of the incident that claimed his limbs and changed the trajectory of his life forever.   In Bounce Back, Travis reveals the path that helped him through tough times—and allowed him to continue to be a dedicated family man, husband, and father to two amazing children. Along the way to his physical and emotional recovery, Travis developed the tools to keep moving forward, and he has outlined them in twelve principles, including:   That Dog Don’t Hunt—Stop Torturing Yourself and Stop Asking Why   Snap Your Fingers, Wiggle Your Toes, and Get the F*** Out of Bed—Create Small, Achievable Goals for Moving Forward   Stay Within the Guard Rails—Manage Your Emotions and Control Your Attitude   Get a Battle Buddy—Never Underestimate the Power of a Support System   Serve—Find Your Voice, Build on Your Strengths, and Live Meaningfully   Travis’s message—that we cannot control what happens to us, and we can only focus on how we react and move forward—will inspire survivors from all walks of life.

    Narrated by Trelani Michelle 
    Krak Teet is a Gullah Geechee phrase meaning “to speak.” This audiobook preserves the voices of Savannah’s Black elders—grandchildren of the enslaved who laid the city’s cobblestone roads and introduced its famous red rice and deviled crabs. 
    These first-hand accounts share stories of struggle—Ms. Madie’s family fleeing after her father sold a pig without permission, Mr. Roosevelt packing his mother’s stab wounds with cobwebs, Ms. Florie marching Broughton Street twice a day to protest segregation—and stories of triumph—Queen Elizabeth Butler becoming the first Black woman in Savannah to own a car, Ms. Sadie earning $500 a week running numbers, and the city desegregating months before the Civil Rights Act. 
    Krak Teet repositions Savannah’s Black history as central to the American story, not a sidebar.

    Against All Odds: The Heart of a Champion is the true story behind the Most Inspirational Book winner at the International Impact Book Awards — a boy who refused to quit, and a father who refused to give up on him. 
     
    Brandon Juarez was too small. That's what the coaches said — picked on, overlooked, and told to his father's face that he would never play college ball. Eric Juarez refused to accept it. He told that coach his son WAS going to play — even if he had to take him to try out for every university in the country — because he would never be the father who told his boy he wasn't good enough. 
     
    That night, Brandon fought his demons alone. The next morning, he walked in and said, "Dad, let's train." 
     
    From that day on, Eric never had to push him again. Not once. Through faith, prayer, and training six, seven hours a day, the kid they counted out fought his way to the next level — and won the big game. The same coaches who wrote him off came back to apologize. 
     
    "I'm a story about a boy who refused to quit, and a father who refused to give up on him." 
     
    If you've ever watched your child get counted out — or been counted out yourself — this is your story.
