Nombre de pages: 468

Terence Fisher, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing... Plus qu'une date de l'histoire du cinéma qui vit l'épouvante assumer enfin sa dimension érotique et violente ; le cycle gothique produit par la firme britannique Hammer Films fut en France un véritable emblème subversif. Le déferlement sur les écrans à partir de 1957 de Frankenstein s'est échappé, La Nuit du loup-garou ou encore Dracula prince des ténèbres offre l'histoire d'une étonnante bataille d'Hernani faite de luttes esthétiques, de passions cinéphiles sur fond de révolution pop et de bouleversements politico-culturels. En retraçant ces évènements sous la forme d'Un passionnant récit agrémenté d'entretiens fleuves, Nicolas Stanzick livre non seulement le premier ouvrage consacré en France à la maison Hammer, mais il apporte du sang neuf à l'abondante littérature anglo-saxonne déjà parue sur le sujet. Voici le récit de la condamnation morale unanime d'un genre et de la naissance conjointe de la cinéphilie fantastique française, petite communauté joyeusement libertaire et populaire, adepte fièrement revendiquée d'un cinéma du sexe et du sang. Voici la chronique de ces francs-tireurs qui nous...

Nombre de pages: 172

The present volume deals with popular culture from an interdisciplinary perspective. Popular culture, as an important part of the public sphere, has attracted the interest of social scientists for many decades; however, most studies tend to rely on the anthropological perspective or, less commonly, on the sociological perspective. This edited volume breaks down disciplinary barriers to bring together a plethora of methodological and theoretical approaches to the study of popular culture. Moreover, the volume will foster dialogue between international scholars conducting research on the topic.

Golf

Nombre de pages: 175

Everyone knows the name Callaway. The Callaway Golf Company is world famous for its premium golf equipment. What most people do not know is that Ely Callaway might never have gotten his golf manufacturing company off the ground without the expertise offered by the world's premiere golf physicist-Leon Z. Seltzer. Goldwin Golf has described Seltzer as 'the engineer physicist with a passion for golf...a rare individual with equal measures of scientific stature and golf fanaticism. He is respected by his peers and renowned for his theories that have shaped some of the major companies in golf. He is a man with a deep love for the sport, as well as being a fine historian and was one of the better amateur golfers in the country.' John Wong of Hireko Golf says Seltzer's innovative articles 'have given me a much more complete understanding of the how's, why's and what if's of golf physics. He is truly the Grand Master of golf physics.' Golf: The Science and the Art is a wide-ranging must read for students of the game, as well as a technical primer for the professional seeking an understanding of the science of golf.

When a group of middle-class buddies obsessed with golf set up a bet to see who can finagle their way onto the nearby private course, their friendship is tested in ways they had never expected in this humorous novel from Rick Reilly, one of America’s most popular sportswriters. Missing Links is the story of four middle class buddies who live outside of Boston and for years have been 1) utterly obsessed with golf and 2) a regular foursome at Ponkaquoque Municipal Course and Deli, not so fondly known as Ponky, the single worst golf course in America. Just adjacent to these municipal links lies the Mayflower Country Club, the most exclusive private course in all of Boston and a major needle in their collective sides. Frustrated by the Mayflower's finely manicured greens and snooty members, three of Ponky's finest and most courageous—Two Down, Dannie, and Stick—set up a bet: $1,000.00 apiece, and the first man to somehow finagle his way on to the Mayflower course takes all. Lying, cheating, and forgery are encouraged, to put it mildly, and with the constant heckling and rare aid of Chunkin' Charlie, Hoover, and Bluto--a few more of Ponky's elite--the games begin. One of the...

Innovations and Creations

Auteure: George Manus

Nombre de pages: 274

My main hobby became inventions and creations, mainly related to Golf. I took it as my first challenge to construct the most compact collapsible Golf Trolley ever seen. As a consequence of working with the above mentioned challenge, thoughts about reinventing the wheel was quite logical, as many golfers prefer to use an electric trolley. As I am a keen golfer myself, I constantly had in mind how one could improve ones game by means of training aids. I first concentrated on a well-known challenge that most of us amateur golfer are facing, namely to keep the head and eyes behind the golf ball at impact. Not to confuse the reader too much, it is certainly difficult enough to understand a lot of the contents in the book, I decided to split between the various groups of developments leading to what in the end became "Golf Trolleys", "MACWheel", "The Short Game Coach", "Golf Putters" and "Other Training Aids for Golf". Along the way I have made some simple documentation and taken photos of some of the models I made, mainly to prove the feasibility of the ideas and as background for the patent office to make drawings and to get an understanding of the various principles. I make excuses...

Caddie to the Stars

Auteure: Tim Peel

Nombre de pages: 89

I wrote this book to show what a great job caddieing is and the many opportunities it affords. It's a life-changing job. If done right by the caddie master, this can open doors to the caddies that never would have happened in other jobs. As a caddie master, I would set up the caddie to put them in the right situation. If the young caddie wanted to be an actor, lawyer, or car salesman or work on Wall Street, you would have them caddie for the members or guests that best suits their future ambitions. It's like a working interview. They can see how hard you work and how you interact with others and how professional you perform your job. As a caddie master, it is your absolute responsibility to inform the college-bound caddies of the caddie scholarship programs that are available. So hopefully, this book can inspire young kids into the great world of caddieing. It's a life changer! --Caddie Master Tim Peel

GOLF

Nombre de pages: 403

When learning Thomsen was writing Golf: Find Center, Enter the Circle, many had emphasized the diversity of golf due to its natural setting, and golf's natural setting was open to amateurs, professionals, and all ages also. Thomsen was quick to agree. "Golf can serve the needs of many. It's my job to open up to more and increase the standards within the art form--golf." Thomsen said. Some have asked, "Who do you think will read it, Jack?" "Few," came the reply. "Golfers mainly, and only the most obsessive of those. There's no popular market for this book. Materialism is too much in demand, and serving the spirit has become lost in the equation." That brief exchange reveals an unvarnished truth: golf is essentially caught in a materialistic grasp as an overview of the game, and yet as an art form, independent players function in it. the artist Vincent van Gogh had sold few of his paintings. Someone else had done that. Is the treasure the money or the art? Golf: Find Center, Enter the Circle's genesis from a personal journal's beginning had been imbued with a Joycean stream of consciousness that, in its intuitiveness, is likely to engage none but the determined reader. by way of...

The great Labour unrest

Auteure: Lewis Mates

Nombre de pages: 522

The Great Labour Unrest examines the struggle between liberals, socialists and revolutionary syndicalists for control of Britain's best established district miners' union. Drawing widely on a vast and rich body of primary sources, this study reveals the debates that grassroots activists had during the fascinating and turbulent 'Great Labour Unrest' period. It charts the contexts in which the socialists challenged the union's Liberal leaders from the late 1890s and considers the complex strikes in 1910 against the implementation of the Liberal government's miners' eight-hour day. It analyses the emergence and development of a mass rank-and-file movement in the coalfield based around demands for a miners' minimum wage and, when this principle was won in March 1912, for an improved minimum wage. This book is of interest to academics, advanced students and lay people interested in political, social and economic history, political thought, economics, and industrial relations.

Nombre de pages: 189

This book, although it has been classified as an autobiography, is really a series of short stories that will leave you smiling. There are paragraphs in this book that are so candid and sometimes revealing, that my first reaction was... Lou, your wife is going to kill you for saying that in print!!! Lou's story about the Russian girls is just one of those stories and is very funny. Don't think for a minute that this is just another autobiography. Lou begins by telling of life growing up as a young boy in Lower Manhattan in the 1920's and 1930s. Times were tough in those years and you had to be resourceful to stay alive and help put food on the table. As Lou states, "Everyone was just trying to make ends meet ... lots of poverty and hard times." If you're looking for tales like those portrayed in the movie 2009 Gangs of New York, forget it this is more like the perseverance portrayed in the 1939 Streets of New York with Jackie Cooper. Lou goes on to tell of his efforts to get into the U.S. Army during WWII; he was kept at bay by his loving mother for a while and was finally inducted and sent to Europe to fight. It is here that he meets the love of his life, Irene, in a small German ...

The 3-Degree Putting Solution

Auteure: Michael Breed

Nombre de pages: 155

The award-winning Golf Channel instructor and host of The Golf Fix revives a long-lost technique for adjusting your putter's loft, with winning results. Acclaimed instructor Michael Breed resurrects the crucial lessons of negative loft-3 degrees of it, to be precise-and shows how it can revolutionize any player's short game. Drawn from years of self-funded technical research, The 3-Degree Putting Solution presents the key to fixing putting woes once and for all. The secret is to change the loft on the putter face from 4 degrees of positive loft (as conventional wisdom dictates) to a negative loft of 3 degrees. The result? Backspin is greatly reduced, ensuring a more consistent speed and a "truer" roll. And by leaning the putter shaft forward, golfers can all but eliminate the ball's pesky air jump immediately after impact. Shrinking the chance of error on each putt, Breed has perfected the 3-Degree technique to incorporate optimal grip, posture, and alignment, as well as intuitive skills such as mental conditioning and how to read the green. This breakthrough guide offers practice drills with dozens of photographs and illustrations, making the 3-Degree technique a powerful lesson...
