Book Description
The world had turned upside down! During the cataclysmic days of World War II, the world was plunged into darkness, and rays of sunshine were few and far between. Many familiar sources of security that had provided comfort and optimism to the people of many nations had fallen by the wayside. The Great Depression had drained the already-exhausted people of their sources of livelihood; and now at their weakest point, chaos, blood, and death appeared to be reigning supreme. Suddenly childhood dreams and plans for success were dashed to the ground, and the world was searching for hope amid the despair of war and death. Don Heinrich and Dorrie Brain were swept up in this chaos and struggled valiantly to find their way forward despite all the uncertainties that plagued them and those around them. They lived in two very different cultures at a time when the world was large and communication was slow and almost nonexistent in many cases. Brought up in the Midwest of the United States, Don had come through the Great Depression, and he knew the realism of hardship and struggle. Dorrie, at the other side of the fierce Atlantic Ocean, had grown up in the small town of Shrewsbury, England, near the Welsh border. Neither one could know what kind of life was in store for them as they tried to sort through their limited options. The tide of world events was sweeping them along paths that neither had known before. Meet Don and the young man he had become as his character developed through many hardships. Meet Dorrie and the young woman she had become through her gentle English heritage. How could they know that destiny would soon propel them together in the most unlikely way? Together they found joy, love, and purpose amid the global chaos and uncertainty.

Book Description
Even though you're a child are you supposed to let others harm you? Does it give grown-ups the right to bully a kid? Adults can lie too. Defending the enemy is wrong because the antagonist is incorrect to pick on someone. Letting others pick at you will make them realize you're a poltroon. Going against a child victim is wrong. Those liars you listen to will laugh at you behind your back thinking you are a wooden head. When you take sides with the person who is unethical you're just as much of a birdbrain as him/her/them.

Remember when flying was glamorous and sexy, even fun? When airline food was gourmet, everyone dressed up for a flight, and stewardesses catered to our every need-at least in our imaginations? This classic memoir by two audaciously outspoken young ladies, who lived and loved the free-spirited stewardess life, jets you back to those golden days of air travel-from the captain who's as subtle as a 747 when he's on the make to the passenger who mistakes the overhead luggage rack for an upper berth; from the names of celebrities who were a pleasure to serve (and some surprising notables on the "bad guy" list) to the origins of some naughty stereotypes-Spaniards are the best lovers, actors the most foul-mouthed. This huge bestseller, a First Class jet-age journal, offers a hilarious gold mine of outrageous anecdotes from the high-flying and amorous lives of those busty, lusty, adventuresome young women of the swinging '60s known as "stews."

Sicker in the Head

Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 545
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An all-new collection of honest, hilarious, and enlightening conversations with some of the most exciting names in comedy—from lifelong comedy nerd Judd Apatow. “When I need to read an interview with a comedian while in the bathroom, I always turn to Judd Apatow for deeply personal insights into the comedic mind. Place one on your toilet today.”—Amy Schumer ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Vulture No one knows comedy like Judd Apatow. From interviewing the biggest comics of the day for his high school radio show to performing stand-up in L.A. dive bars with his roommate Adam Sandler, to writing and directing Knocked Up and producing Freaks and Geeks, Apatow has always lived, breathed, and dreamed comedy. In this all-new collection of interviews, the follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Sick in the Head, Apatow sits down with comedy legends such as David Letterman, Whoopi Goldberg, and Will Ferrell, as well as the writers and performers who are pushing comedy to the limits, and defining a new era of laughter: John Mulaney, Hannah Gadsby, Bowen Yang, Amber Ruffin, Pete Davidson, and others. In intimate and hilariously honest conversations, they discuss what got them into comedy, and what—despite personal and national traumas—keeps them going. Together, they talk about staying up too late to watch late-night comedy, what kind of nerds they were high school, and the right amount of delusional self-confidence one needs to “make it” in the industry. Like eavesdropping on lifelong friends, these pages expose the existential questions that plague even the funniest and most talented among us: Why make people laugh while the world is in crisis? What ugly, uncomfortable truths about our society—and ourselves—can comedy reveal? Along the way, these comics reminisce about those who helped them on their journey—from early success through failure and rejection, and back again—even as they look ahead to the future of comedy and Hollywood in a hyper-connected, overstimulated world. With his trademark insight, curiosity, and irrepressible sense of humor, Apatow explores the nature of creativity, professional ambition, and vulnerability in an ever-evolving cultural landscape, and how our favorite comics are able to keep us laughing along the way.
