Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Man's Planet is a slightly off-centered geologist's introduction to how politics, pop-culture and the earth sciences mix it up every day in all of our lives. A humorous look at a myriad of issue that grace the news and drive political debates from local councils to international discourse. One Man’s Planet picks apart the rhetoric on all sides of these debates to look at how the science describes the issue, often to the nakedness of the opposing parties. Tackling topics like climate, energy, water, and hazards, Stephen Testa channels Beanie Babies, Mad Max, and Shakespeare among others to examine the latest scientific understanding of these issues. Author Stephen Testa weaves science, personalities, pop culture and politics into a very informative and entertaining tapestry on the planet today and the planet's tomorrow.

Download or read book Mad as Hell written by Dave Itzkoff and published by Times Books. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The behind-the-scenes story of the making of the iconic movie Network, which transformed the way we think about television and the way television thinks about us "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" Those words, spoken by an unhinged anchorman named Howard Beale, "the mad prophet of the airwaves," took America by storm in 1976, when Network became a sensation. With a superb cast (including Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch, and Robert Duvall) directed by Sidney Lumet, the film won four Academy Awards and indelibly shaped how we think about corporate and media power. In Mad As Hell, Dave Itzkoff of The New York Times recounts the surprising and dramatic story of how Network made it to the screen. Such a movie rarely gets made any more—one man's vision of the world, independent of studio testing or market research. And that man was Paddy Chayefsky, the tough, driven, Oscar-winning screenwriter whose vision—outlandish for its time—is all too real today. Itzkoff uses interviews with the cast and crew, as well as Chayefsky's notes, letters, and drafts to re-create the action in front of and behind the camera at a time of swirling cultural turmoil. The result is a riveting account that enriches our appreciation of this prophetic and still-startling film. Itzkoff also speaks with today's leading broadcasters and filmmakers to assess Network's lasting impact on television and popular culture. They testify to the enduring genius of Paddy Chayefsky, who foresaw the future and whose life offers an unforgettable lesson about the true cost of self-expression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While this book is about America in 2028 under a socialist government that no longer provides protection for its citizens and no longer believes public should have the right to protect themselves. That no longer believes our Constitution and Bill of Rights means the same as it did one hundred or even fifty years ago. Then calls this progress with their new ideas of how the nation should be run. While discarding old definitions to replace with their new interpretations. Forgetting past promises to balance the budget, control government spending. Free speech is redefined and limited; gun ownership is restricted to firearms that do not pose a problem against law enforcement. Even then very strict enforcement of very restrictive laws applies. Inter-structure means paying for government programs as well as repairing roads, dams, bridges and all it meant in the past. A time when Citizenship means nothing, and any human with their feet on American soil, all have the same rights. A time when inflation has grown so bad that retirement funds are valueless. Then only a small percentage of Americans are able to maintain a small standard of living in 2028.A time when opposition to the government is treason.
