Synopsis

In the golden age of radio, the airwaves crackled with the excitement of breaking news, the laughter of beloved comedians, and the pulse-pounding thrill of sporting events. Radio was the primary source of entertainment and information for millions of Americans, weaving its way into their daily lives like an invisible thread.

This book takes you on a nostalgic journey through this magical era, exploring the factors that led to radio's rise to prominence and the impact it had on American culture. From the legendary broadcasters who brought the world into people's living rooms to the popular shows that captured the nation's imagination, you'll discover the stories behind the voices and the shows that shaped a generation.

You'll meet the pioneers of radio, like Guglielmo Marconi and Lee de Forest, whose inventions made it all possible. You'll learn about the different genres of radio shows, from the lighthearted comedies of Amos 'n' Andy to the hard-hitting news broadcasts of Edward R. Murrow. And you'll see how radio played a vital role in shaping public opinion, influencing political discourse, and bringing people together during times of crisis.

This book is a celebration of the golden age of radio, a time when the airwaves were alive with the sound of dreams. It's a journey back to a simpler time, when families gathered around the radio to listen to their favorite shows and when the world seemed just a little bit smaller. So tune in and let the golden age of radio transport you to a time when the airwaves were truly magical.

Unruly Desires - American...

William Benemann

In its voracious hunger to fill its decks and spars with the bodies of strong young sailors, the nineteenth century US Navy and the commercial maritime industry welcomed eccentrics, criminals, outcasts, and misfits into a community of the marginalized, one that held very different values and expectations than the towns and villages from which the young men fled, a community that offered a tentative refuge to men who were sexually attracted to other men. 
 
 
 
Drawing from biographies and autobiographies, diaries, newspapers, government reports, Congressional hearings, religious tracts, pornography, ships' logs, medical treatises, maritime fiction, court-martial reports, personal letters and business correspondence, Benemann provides an in-depth examination of nineteenth century LGBTQ culture as it developed at sea and in America's port cities.

A.A. Castor

What if love isn't enough to keep him loyal? What if discipline is the only language he respects?

With dark humor, razor-sharp insights, and no sugarcoating, author A.A. Castor hands women the blueprint to take control, reclaim respect, and—if you choose to stay—make him fear the price of losing you more than he craves the thrill of betrayal. 
If you've ever whispered, "He'll change if I love him harder," this book will scream back: 
"He'll only change when it costs him more to lose you than to keep you."

Heal the Beasts - A Jaunt...

DVM Philipp Schott

How and why did humans begin to treat sick and injured animals? And how did those practices, and the associated attitudes, evolve from prehistory to the present day? 
 
 
 
To answer these questions, Dr. Schott shares stories of twenty-two different animal healers and veterinarians from across eras and continents, examining the always fascinating, often unexpected, and sometimes hilarious veterinary methods employed by these people and their colleagues. But at the heart of the tale lies the evolution of the human-animal bond, which has been more cyclical than linear. 
 
 
 
James Herriot will be familiar to many people, but most of the other featured vets will be new. They range from Palakapya, who treated fighting elephants in India almost 3,000 years ago, to Dr. Louis Camuti, who had the first feline house call practice anywhere, tending to the cats of celebrities in mid-twentieth-century Manhattan. Along the way, we see every kind of person trying to heal every kind of creature. 
 
 
 
Whether you have a passion for animals, the history of the medical sciences, or just quirky history, this light-hearted exploration of the empathetic relationship between man and beast will entertain and delight.
