People Celebrates the 70s is a lively, affectionate salute to an over-the-top decade: the superstar-studded, disco-driven, walk-on-the-wild-side 1970s. Put on your platform shoes and re-live the '70s story as only People can tell it -- from Musical Sensations like Cher, Elton John, Peter Frampton and ABBA... to the "I Am Woman" vibe of Helen Reddy, Jane Fonda and Erica Jong... to the "Disco Inferno" glory days of John Travolta and the Bee Gees in Saturday Night Fever.

You'll climb in the ring with Sylvester "Rocky" Stallone, blast out an anthem with Bruce Springsteen, and put on your eyeliner with David Bowie.

John Kenneth Muir

Heavy Paperback (2 to 4 lbs)

This filmography covers more than 300 horror films released from 1990 through 1999. The horror genre’s trends and clichés are connected to social and cultural phenomena, such as Y2K fears and the Los Angeles riots. Popular films were about serial killers, aliens, conspiracies, and sinister “interlopers,” new monsters who shambled their way into havoc. Each of the films is discussed at length with detailed credits and critical commentary. There are six appendices: 1990s clichés and conventions, 1990s hall of fame, memorable ad lines, movie references in Scream, 1990s horrors vs. The X-Files, and the decade’s ten best. Fully indexed, 224 photographs.

"Independent filmmaker and horror-film scholar John Kenneth Muir says, 'Art does not exist in a vacuum. Instead, it is inexorably bound to the time period from which it sprang.' In his entertaining and scholarly filmography of over 200 films arranged by year, Muir sees the historical and social happenings of the 1970s as giving rise to the unusually high number of groundbreaking horror films of the decade, as well as the more routine ones. Following a general introduction, Muir provides a synopsis and commentary, a list of cast and crew, significant quotations by critics for each motion picture as well as by participants in the film's making when available, and stills for selected films. Interesting appendixes, notes, a bibliography, and an index are included."--"The Best of the Best Reference Sources," American Libraries, May 2003.

How Breakfast Got Its Crunch

Americans love their breakfast cereal, which is second only to milk and soda in supermarket spending. Cereals and their cartoon spokescharacters are some of the most enduring pop-culture icons of the 20th century. The Great American Cereal Book is the definitive compendium of breakfast cereal history and lore, celebrating the most recognizable brands and packaging, such as Cheerios, Cocoa Puffs, Frosted Flakes, Grape-Nuts, and Trix. Award-winning writer Marty Gitlin and co-author Topher Ellis provide behind-the-scenes stories about the creation of these iconic kitchen-table companions, with 350 images of cereal boxes, vintage ads, and rare memorabilia.

Praise for The Great American Cereal Book:

 “Instantly evokes feelings of childhood—watching Saturday-morning cartoons and being bombarded with commercials for sweet cereals with colorful mascots like Toucan Sam and Tony the Tiger.” —TMagazine.Blogs.NYTimes.com



"A fascinating find for those interested in the creation and marketing of this grocery-store staple." —The Oklahoman 

 “There’s a new book out about cereal, and it looks cereal-ously good. No, but in all cereal-ousness, it's about the history of cereal, and you’d have to be a [ce]real breakfast Grinch to not at least be stirred by the picture of E.T., the cereal.” —TheHairpin.com

 

"Fortified with full-page, full-color photos, it's an enjoyable, comprehensive read about one of the overlooked staples of the national diet." —Philadelphia City Paper


“A crisply colorful history of a favorite kids’ food that became a pop culture icon.” —Tampa Bay Times

“Whether you're a food history buff, package-design geek, or just an enthusiastic consumer of the country’s favorite morning bowl, these pages provide enough—ahem—snap, crackle, and pop to keep everyone happy.” —Real Eats magazine
