Sommario/riassunto |
|
Show business is today so essential to American culture it's hard to imagine a time when it was marginal. But as David Monod demonstrates, the appetite for amusements outside the home was not "natural": it developed slowly over the course of the nineteenth century. The Soul of Pleasure offers a new interpretation of how the taste for entertainment was cultivated. Monod focuses on the shifting connection between the people who built successful popular entertainments and the public who consumed them. Show people discovered that they had to adapt entertainment to the moral outlook of Americans, which they did by appealing to sentiment. The Soul of Pleasure explores several controversial forms of popular culture-minstrel acts, burlesques, and saloon variety shows-and places them in the context of changing values and perceptions. Far from challenging respectability, Monod argues that entertainments reflected and transformed the audience's ideals. In the mid-nineteenth century, sentimentality not only infused performance styles and the content of shows but also altered the expectations of the theatergoing public. Sentimental entertainment depended on sensational effects that produced surprise, horror, and even gales of laughter. After the Civil War the sensational charge became more important than the sentimental bond, and new forms of entertainment gained in popularity and provided the foundations for vaudeville, America's first mass entertainment. Ultimately, it was American entertainment's variety that would provide the true soul of pleasure. |

A unique, integrated treatment of computer modeling and simulation ""The future of science belongs to those willing to make the shift to simulation-based modeling,"" predicts Rice Professor James Thompson, a leading modeler and computational statistician widely known for his original ideas and engaging style. He discusses methods, available to anyone with a fast desktop computer, for integrating simulation into the modeling process in order to create meaningful models of real phenomena. Drawing from a wealth of experience, he gives examples from trading markets, oncology, epidemiology, statist |

Holding on to secrets and lies is no way to build trust, and without trust, finding love is impossible. But Luna's not the only one keeping things hidden...Gabe is a mystery as well. Can they learn to trust each other outside the bedroomto nurture what is between them? Kristin Leigh pens a poignant tale of starting over in Luna Exposed, Book 1 of her new contemporary romance series, Exposure.Life. It happens, and it usually ends up being the worst possible scenario every single time. Suddenly and unexpectedly divorced, alone with two children and the world on her shoulders, Luna is fighting to achieve an independence she's never known before. Determined that life will not beat her, her first priority is a night out to forget the soured love that has haunted her every waking moment for a decade. But one night out can change everything, especially when it's with a man like Gabriel O'Malley.One year after her divorce, Luna's over it...her marriage, the depression, and the one-night stand that suddenly plops back into her life. Brought together again by circumstances beyond their control, Luna and Gabe don't bother fighting the attraction that still simmers between them. But relationships can be complicated, especially those with no clearly defined destination except a somewhat kinky bedroom. Luna's children |

and the charade of her marriage are only part of it. Gabe has a past too...one that's shrouded in mystery and secrets spanning two continents and three decades.Luna wants to be able to trust again, to love again, and Gabe is her first choice. But loving someone means sharing secrets, opening doors that might be best left closed. If they're going to stand a chance, there can be no more secrets, no more denial. Someone has to take the leap of faith first. Someone has to be exposed.Content Notes: Hot, Light BDSM, Contemporary |
