Marvel Comics - The Untold Story

Synopsis

The defining, behind-the-scenes chronicle of one of the most extraordinary, beloved, and dominant pop cultural entities in America’s history -- Marvel Comics – and the outsized personalities who made Marvel including Martin Goodman, Stan Lee, and Jack Kirby.   
“Sean Howe’s history of Marvel makes a compulsively readable, riotous and heartbreaking version of my favorite story, that of how a bunch of weirdoes changed the world…That it’s all true is just frosting on the cake.”  —Jonathan Lethem 
For the first time, Marvel Comics tells the stories of the men who made Marvel: Martin Goodman, the self-made publisher who forayed into comics after a get-rich-quick tip in 1939, Stan Lee, the energetic editor who would shepherd the company through thick and thin for decades and Jack Kirby, the WWII veteran who would co-create Captain America in 1940 and, twenty years later, developed with Lee the bulk of the company’s marquee characters in a three-year frenzy. Incorporating more than one hundred original interviews with those who worked behind the scenes at Marvel over a seventy-year-span, Marvel Comics packs anecdotes and analysis into a gripping narrative of how a small group of people on the cusp of failure created one of the most enduring pop cultural forces in contemporary America.

    Growing up, Mickey Rowe was told that he couldn’t enter the mainstream world. He was iced out by classmates and colleagues, infantilized by well-meaning theatre directors, barred from even earning a minimum wage. Why? Because he is autistic. Fearlessly Different: An Autistic Actor’s Journey to Broadway’s Biggest Stage is Mickey Rowe’s inspiring story. As an autistic and legally blind person, it was always made clear to Mickey the many things he was apparently incapable of doing. But Mickey did them all anyway—and he succeeded because of, not in spite of, his autism. He became the first autistic actor to play the lead role in the play The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, landed the title role in the play Amadeus, cocreated the theatre/philanthropy company Arts on the Waterfront, and founded the National Disability Theatre. Mickey faced untold obstacles along the way, but his story ends in triumph. Many people feel they are locked out of the world of autism—that it’s impossible to even begin to understand. In Fearlessly Different, Mickey guides readers to that world while also helping those with autism to feel seen and understood. And he shows all people—autistic and nonautistic alike—that the things that make us different are often our biggest strengths.

    Timorous: adj, 1) shy, not bold 2) easily frightened.
    
    Economics: n, social science concerned with the production and consumption of goods and services.
    
    What is the best way to run a country? How long should a person be obliged to work every day? What will the economy look like after Brexit?
    
    In this new take on the Scottish economy, experts Trebeck, Boyd and Kerevan address how our economy can serve us, as opposed to the people serving the economy. They believe that current economic policies are not aligned with what we as people need in these times of rampant inequality and inequitable distribution, advocating an increased focus on the quality of Scotland's economy. Using Scotland as an example for the economic workings of any country, Tackling Timorous Economics shows a better way of how economics could work for us.

    “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” 
    Have 16 words managed to be wildly interpreted in over the 200 years since America was founded? Have a vast majority of laws, mandates and other legal talks have had so much debate than this phrase? 
    How far does the First Amendment go in regards to Religious Freedom? Should there be Freedom of Religion or Freedom from Religion? 
    When laws cannot be settled in state or district courts, they go to the highest law of the land: The Supreme Court. There, Nine Justices appointed to lifelong terms weigh in on matters that could affect the whole country. There have been many hotly debated cases over the years:Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores: Does a Christian Employer have to cover contraceptives they don't believe in?Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission: Can a Private for-profit company turn away customers considered a protected class due to religious reasons?Kennedy v. Bremerton School District: Can a football coach pray on the 50 Yard Line and is a school responsible for it?Yeshiva University v. YU Pride Alliance: Can a religious university deny a LGBTQ club due to religious reasons? 
    These are questions for the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court gives an opinion to each of these legal questions.

    Here Be Dragons takes us on one’s man’s quest to make healthcare more accessible and affordable for all. Web Golinkin began his healthcare leadership journey by starting the first 24-hour cable TV network dedicated to health, America’s Health Network, which was eventually sold to Fox. He then helped to revolutionize healthcare with RediClinic, one of the first companies to put healthcare clinics inside drug, grocery, and big box stores, and was later sold to Rite Aid. More recently, Web was CEO of FastMed, one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing operators of urgent care clinics.But this is not a book about unbridled success. It is the true story of what happens when you are bold enough to try to transform a hidebound, multi-trillion-dollar industry. Retail clinics are now a permanent part of the healthcare landscape, but getting there did not come without a fight and required all the passion, endurance, and street-smarts that Web could muster at every step along the way.
