Book Description
Phenomenal Stories #11 is our first Special Issue, focusing upon the editor's obsession with once-world-famous author Robert W. Chambers. The editor literally wrote the book - the only biography - about Chambers, a writer who influenced such luminaries as H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard and many others. This Special Issue features two of Chambers' classic horror stories - thankfully in the public domain - "The Yellow Sign" and "Repairer of Reputations." Also featured are cover art depicting Chambers by Carole A. Tomlinson and takes on Chambers from J.D. Hayes-Canell and Richard H. Nilsen, as well as the 2nd part of the 'The Darkness' from Carlos Rios. Don't worry, we're also continuing the Adirondack mystery story of Hal Johnson in 'An Old-Fashioned Shooting, ' as well as the science fiction novel 'Time: Book 01: Timenami' from Shawn M. Tomlinson. Phenomenal Stories is a modern-day tribute to the science fiction/horror/fantasy/speculative pulp magazines of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s

Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
It has been a long, strange road, and probably has no end clearly in sight. Many more books are in the works as I write this in early December 2018. For example, I have published nine novels to date, and am writing nine more, with plans for some beyond that. The Shawn M. Tomlinson's Guide to Photography series has 29 titles in print, with another five or six nearly complete, and plans for 30 to 40 more. I'm also trying to rework and rearrange those books into omnibus editions by chronology and by theme.I never will get every book done I want to do, but it keeps me busy.I always planned on putting out a catalog of all the Zirlinson Books, but kept getting waylaid for one reason or another until now. This catalog is available as a print book in color. The color print book will be cost prohibitive for many people, so there likely will be a black and white version available, too.

Retaining Women in Engineering
Author: Robert N. Stavig
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 100074020X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Diversity drives better business results; however, despite decades of effort, women make up only 15% of engineers. Retaining Women in Engineering: The Empowerment of Lean Development approaches the problem of women leaving engineering from a systems-level perspective to change the way engineering is done and level the playing field between men and women. This book utilizes the six principles of Lean Development and draws from the learnings of the field of medicine, recognizing that access to a vast amount of written knowledge is an important part of a physician’s learning process. Using these principles, the book provides leaders with concrete strategies and methods to change the way engineering is done and learning occurs. Integrated within the book are "gray box stories" which describe two different worlds that engineers work in: that of traditional development and that of Lean Development. These stories underscore the way that the gender confidence gap, bias, and stereotypes affect a female engineer’s career. Additionally, the book highlights how the methods of Lean Development strengthen an individual’s ability to control their learning and career, and a leader’s ability to coach others more effectively. Ultimately, this results in more capable teams. Furthermore, not unlike the marine chronometer (a clock) which solved the centuries old challenge of establishing the longitudinal location for a ship at sea, this book finds the "clock" that levels the playing field between men and women. This book will help leaders at every level within an engineering firm, as well as women engineers and managers who want to grow to their full potential, and others who care about gender equity.

The Starday Story
Author: Nathan D. Gibson
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1604738316
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Association of Recorded Sound Collections Awards for Excellence Best Research in Record Labels–Certificate of Merit (2012) The Starday Story: The House That Country Music Built is the first book entirely dedicated to one of the most influential music labels of the twentieth century. In addition to creating the largest bluegrass catalogue throughout the 1950s and '60s, Starday was also known for its legendary rockabilly catalogue, an extensive Texas honky-tonk outpouring, classic gospel and sacred recordings, and as a Nashville independent powerhouse studio and label. Written with label president and co-founder Don Pierce, this book traces the label's origins in 1953 through the 1968 Starday-King merger. Interviews with artists and their families, employees, and Pierce contribute to the stories behind famous hit songs, including "Y'all Come," "A Satisfied Mind," "Why Baby Why," "Giddy-up Go," "Alabam," and many others. Gibson's research and interviews also shed new light on the musical careers of George Jones, Arlie Duff, Willie Nelson, Roger Miller, the Stanley Brothers, Cowboy Copas, Red Sovine, and countless other Starday artists. Conversations with the children of Pappy Daily and Jack Starns provide a unique perspective on the early days of Starday, and extensive interviews with Pierce offer an insider glance at the country music industry during its golden era. Weathering through the storm of rock and roll and, later, the Nashville Sound, Starday was a home to traditional country musicians and became one of the most successful independent labels in American history. Ultimately, The Starday Story is the definitive record of a country music label that played an integral role in preserving our nation's musical heritage.

Young, Gifted & Black: The Story of Trojan Records
Author: Michael de Koningh
Publisher: Omnibus Press
ISBN: 1787591042
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
When it was formed, Trojan Records epitomised the punk DIY ethic over a decade before 1976. With a blizzard of individual labels and a marketing strategy that involved selling product out of the backs of vans, the company spearheaded the injection of reggae and ska into the vein of British youth consciousness. In its first brief six-year incarnation, Trojan produced nearly 30 hit singles, created the legendary compilation series Tighten Up and launched new acts like Jimmy Cliff, Desmond Dekker, Ken Boothe, The Pioneers, Bob And Marcia, Greyhound and Dave And Ansell Collins, all against a background of cut-throat politics, cultural division and prejudice. Featuring a comprehensive discography, Young, Gifted And Black is the official story of Trojan Records, lifting the lid on the scheming, backbiting and sheer seat-of-the-pants inspiration that made the label such a powerful force for black UK music.
