Ray Booth
Booth showcases his innovative and sophisticated modern interiors, which mix a keen sense of tranquility with bold and elegant details, as well as homes renovated inside and out, and houses designed and decorated from the foundations up. Both his exteriors and interiors display a harmonious blend of traditional and contemporary elements, resulting in an appealingly timeless aesthetic. This exquisitely designed tome presents his forward-thinking vision. The spectacular projects featured span the country from coast to coast from a dramatic Los Angeles hillside dwelling with expansive windows to a contemporary Nashville home that marries brick, metal, and wood. For his own Provincetown seaside getaway, he has chosen an unexpected cutting-edge style. These projects show how he pushes the boundaries of design while imbuing spaces with soul.

They Called Him Al
Robert J. (Bob) Koster was born in Hollywood, the son of German-born Henry Koster, who escaped Nazi Germany and ultimately became a 1930s Universal Studios director of such major films as Three Smart Girls (1936) and One Hundred Men and a Girl (1937), both starring Deanna Durbin, as well as the Academy Award-nominated director of The Bishop's Wife (1947), Harvey (1950) with James Stewart, My Cousin Rachel (1952) with Richard Burton, The Robe (1953), Desiree (1954) with Marlon Brando, Flower Drum Song (1961), and The Singing Nun (1966). Bob Koster worked for thirty-five years in the movie industry, spanning the time from the big studio system to later independent filmmakers. He worked in various phases of production but mainly in the production department as an Assistant Director and a Unit Production Manager on films such as Child's Play 2 (1990), The Man in the Glass Booth (1975), and War and Remembrance (1988). Bob worked with some of the most famous directors and actors of their time. In his revealing memoir, his insights and comments on these films and the characters involved are fascinating and told as seen through the eyes of a child of the times. His father raised him in an atmosphere of glamour and drama, but he was also distant enough from it to be able to keep an interesting perspective on the fascinating circus surrounding him. His autobiography unfolds as an absorbing read for anyone interested in cinema history and the backstage activities surrounding Hollywood's Golden Era.

Collect All 21! Memoirs of a Star Wars Geek - The First 30 Years
Opening that first Darth Vader figure and putting him in a Landspeeder. Imagining a snowy elementary school playground as the wastes of Hoth. Seeing Return of the Jedi on opening night. Moments like these - and a galaxy more - make up three decades of "Memoirs of a Star Wars Geek." John takes the reader from a childhood packed with Star Wars guys (never "action figures") and Christmas wishes both fulfilled and unrealized, through the years when the trilogy lay dormant to the mainstream public's eye, and into an age of seeing George Lucas' universe as an adult while exploring it again as a parent. Gracefully laying bare both the good and not-so-good times, this collection, with its origins as a series on his web site, FieldsEdge.com, is a love letter from a self-aware geek written under the sometimes harsh light of hindsight, softened with understanding. It captures the innocence and wonder and infinite possibilities of what it meant to an eight-year-old to Collect All 21!

Stay Calm
"Uncertainty isn't something to fear--it's where possibility lives." --David Booth From one of the pioneers of index investing and a founder of factor investing comes a clear, calming, and empowering guide to building true wealth--rooted not in predictions, hacks, or market timing but in the science of how markets actually work. For more than 50 years, David Booth has been at the center of a monumental transformation in personal finance. As founder of Dimensional Fund Advisors, Booth has worked alongside Nobel laureates Gene Fama, Merton Miller, Myron Scholes, and Robert Merton, helping to transform investing from a game of speculation into a discipline grounded in evidence, diversification, and long-term thinking. In Stay Calm, he shares the lessons, mindset, and stories behind that revolution--and shows readers how to apply them in their own lives. In this accessible and engaging book, Booth explains why trying to pick stocks or predict the market's next move is a losing game, and why trusting markets--not gurus--gives ordinary investors a powerful advantage. Drawing on decades of data and experience, he explores: Why market prices reflect information faster than any individual can, and why this is good news for investors How to build a resilient, low-stress investment strategy using diversification, discipline, and patience How to avoid the emotional traps that cause investors to buy high, sell low, and miss long-term gains Why uncertainty is not a danger to be eliminated but a source of opportunity What "true wealth" really means--and how money can support a life of purpose, freedom, and meaning Warm, wise, and refreshingly free of jargon, Stay Calm is both a practical guide to long-term investing and a philosophy for living with clarity and confidence. Whether you're just starting out, rethinking your financial plan, or guiding others, this book will change the way you think about markets, risk, and what really matters.

American Small-Town Fiction, 1940–1960
In politics, literature, and popular culture the small town is closely identified with the American national experience. But what do we talk about when we talk about the small town? Does the national myth conceal a deep-seated reactionary tendency or does it hold within it the seeds of a new national imagining? The truth is that it does both; as a model of America, the literary both obscures and reveals the contradictions at the heart of the American experience.During the years from 1940 to 1960, America underwent a tremendous shift in terms of self-fashioning and self-mythologizing. This shift can be charted in representations of small towns. Authors like Henry Bellamann and Grace Metalious continued the tradition of Sherwood Anderson by showing the small town (and, therefore, America itself) as profoundly warping the souls of its citizens. Meanwhile, Ray Bradbury, Toshio Mori, and Ross Lockridge, Jr. sought to identify within the small town a potential for growth—away from the shadows cast by World War II and toward a more inclusive (and democratic) future. Examined together, these works are key aids toward understanding how America at midcentury refashioned itself in light of a new post-World War II order.
