Edward R. Murrow and the Birth of Broadcast Journalismby Bob Edwards
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2004; US$ 19.95"Get it, read it, and pass it on." — Bill Moyers "Most Americans living today never heard Ed Murrow in a live broadcast. This book is for them I want them to know that broadcast journalism was established by someone with the highest standards. Tabloid crime stories, so much a part of the lust for ratings by today's news broadcasters, held no interest for Murrow. He did like Hollywood celebrities, but interviewed them for his entertainment programs; they had no place on his news programs. My book is focused on this life in journalism. I offer it in the hope that more people in and out of the news business will get to know Ed Murrow. Perhaps in time the descent from Murrow's principles can be reversed." — Bob Edwards more...

The Literary Monster on Filmby Abigail Burnham Bloom
McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers 2010; US$ 35.00Many monsters in Victorian British novels were intimately connected with the protagonist, and representative of both a character's personal failings and the failings of the society in which they lived. By contrast, more recent film adaptations of these novels depict the creatures as arbitrarily engaging in senseless violence, and suggest a modern fear of the uncontrollable. This dichotomy is here analyzed through examinations of the classic novels Frankenstein, Dracula, H. Rider Haggard's She, Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Wells's The Island of Dr. Moreau, and analysis of the 20th century film adaptations of the works. more...

Three Plays by H. Liebermanby Harold Lieberman

Roberts/Playwrighting Contest award and was produced at the Forest Roberts Theatre in Marquett, Michigan. With Ron Moody directing, Alexander Racolin produced the play in London. From the critics on Kafka in Love :Lieberman's script follows the anarchic logic of psychoanalysis, rushing backwards and forwards across Kafka's famous frontier between ordinary life and the terror that seems more real. The material is authentic, the atmosphere that of a Yiddish burlesque house. Striking from an unexpected angle the insight is genuine.
