  Say Hello to My Little Friend -...

  When Brian DePalma's operatically violent and profane Scarface debuted in 1983, the film drew almost as much fire as the relentless gunfire in the film itself. The movie was a remake of 1932's Scarface—revamped for a new era of drugs, sex, and graphic violence. Attacked as both a celebration of cocaine-fueled excess and a condemnation of it, the film's reputation only grew as the years went by. But the real story of its success started nearly a century ago—when Hollywood first fell in love with the American gangster . . . 
   
   
   
  Hollywood's infatuation with money, power, and organized crime has captured the public's imagination and made Scarface one of its most enduring modern myths. From a 1912 gangster film by D. W. Griffith to the 1932 hit Scarface starring Paul Muni, to Brian DePalma's 1983 shocker, the antihero's rise and fall exposes the dark side of the American Dream—whether it's Prohibition Era bootleggers or modern-day drug dealers. When actor Al Pacino got the idea of doing a remake of Scarface after screening the original, a legend was (re)born—and the rest is history. With guns blazing and chainsaws whirring, movie biz writer Nat Segaloff tears into this pop culture phenomenon with fascinating insights, stunning revelations, and a true fan's glee. This is a must-listen book for movie buffs, crime lovers, and culture vultures everywhere.

  Sikhism, one of the world's youngest major religions, has roots that stretch deep into the socio-political and spiritual fabric of South Asia. Founded in the late 15th century by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in the Punjab region, Sikhism emerged as a response to the spiritual needs and social injustices of the time. It champions the principles of equality, justice, and service, inviting individuals from all walks of life to join in a collective pursuit of truth and devotion to one God.  
  At its core, Sikhism is a monotheistic faith that emphasizes the importance of a personal relationship with the divine. The teachings of the ten Gurus, recorded in the Guru Granth Sahib, the sacred scripture of Sikhism, serve as a guiding light for millions around the world. This scripture not only contains hymns and poetry that extol the virtues of love, compassion, and humility but also reflects the rich cultural diversity of its origins, incorporating elements from various religious and philosophical traditions. 
  Sikhism's distinct identity is marked by its unique practices, such as the wearing of the Five Articles of Faith (the Five Ks), community kitchen (Langar), and the commitment to social justice and equality. The faith’s communal spirit, reflected in the Gurdwara—a place of worship and gathering—fosters a sense of belonging and collective responsibility among Sikhs.  
  As we delve deeper into the teachings, rituals, and historical development of Sikhism in this book, we will explore the faith's contributions to the global religious landscape and its impact on contemporary society. We will examine how Sikh values resonate in today’s world, addressing critical issues such as religious tolerance, community service, and social equity.

  The Great Lakes are graveyards of a vast number of shipwrecks (30,000 by some estimates), and Lake Michigan has more than the other four lakes combined. The stories of those wrecks tell the history of that mighty lake in its endless, mercurial challenge to human endeavor. 
   
   
   
  Michael Schumacher charts the course of shipping disasters great and small on Lake Michigan. He illuminates the details of maritime weather and shipcraft, the lives devoted to and lost on the water, and the mistakes and monumental failures that led to these ships' watery ends. 
   
   
   
  Here are tragic tales like that of the Eastland, the deadliest shipwreck in Great Lakes history, lost while docked in the Chicago River; the Rouse Simmons, a wooden schooner loaded with Christmas trees; the train ferry Milwaukee and the Wisconsin, a package freighter, gone within one week of each other in October 1929; and the passenger vessel the Lady Elgin, a devastating loss met with incredible heroism. 
   
  The stories of these shipwrecks, spanning a full century of commercial traffic on Lake Michigan, document the myriad forms of bravery and misfortune that mark our encounters with the Great Lakes.
