Summary

Disney and Marvel explores the groundbreaking merger between Disney, a family entertainment giant, and Marvel, a comic book powerhouse, and how this alliance reshaped Hollywood and global popular culture. The book explains how Disney strategically acquired Marvel to secure valuable intellectual property, fueling expansion into new markets and cementing dominance in the entertainment industry. For example, Marvel's near-bankruptcy in the 1990s highlights the precariousness that Disney helped overcome. The book uniquely balances both the business and creative angles of the merger, examining financial implications alongside creative transformations, like adapting comic characters for blockbuster films.

 
The book unfolds in three parts, beginning with a detailed history of Disney and Marvel before the merger, highlighting their respective challenges. It then scrutinizes the acquisition itself, dissecting the negotiation process and strategic rationale from Disney's perspective. Finally, it explores the post-acquisition era, focusing on Disney's integration of Marvel, the creation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and the broader cultural phenomenon of superhero films, making it essential for those seeking to understand corporate strategy, media trends, and the evolution of superhero storytelling.

    A one-of-a-kind collection including some never-before-seen photographs of the wild and unforgettable WHA from legendary sports photographer Steve Babineau
		
		 
On October 12, 1972, legendary Boston sports photographer, Steve Babineau, was in attendance for the debut of the New England Whalers. They were taking on the Philadelphia Blazers at the old Boston Garden — and Babs was shooting the action. Fifty years later, he’s still photographing big-league sports events — but this lovingly curated collection documents both his earliest published (and unseen) works and the wild emergence of the colorful, revolutionary, wild, and unforgettable WHA.
		 
In an era when rolls of film still had to be changed by hand and cameras were focused manually, when arena lighting was questionable and images had to be captured through the haze produced by smoking fans, Babineau captured it all: the timeless legends who were finally getting paid, the journeymen who finally got a shot at the pros, the 17-year-old who would go on to rewrite record books, the brawls and goals, the glorious ’staches and flows, the highs and the lows …
		 
Behind the Lens: The World Hockey Association 50 Years Later has the Golden Jet and the Howes, the teams that seemed to change names and cities as often as some players changed wooden sticks, and even the true origin story of that Wayne Gretzky photo that’s become the million-dollar holy grail for sports card collectors.

    Gothic art finds its roots in the powerful architecture of the cathedrals of northern France. It is a medieval art movement that evolved throughout Europe for more than 200 years. Leaving curved Roman forms behind, the architects started using flying buttresses and pointed arches to open cathedrals to the daylight. A period of great economic and social change, the gothic era also saw the development of a new iconography celebrating the Holy Mary, in contrast to the fearful themes of dark Roman times. Full of rich changes in all the different arts (architecture, sculpture, painting, etc.), Gothic art gave way to the Italian Renaissance and International Gothic.
