Patricia DeMarco has led a remarkable life, walking in the footsteps of environmental icon Rachel Carson. In doing so, Patricia has forged her own path through the same challenges Rachel faced. In her latest book, In the Footsteps of Rachel Carson, Patricia shares her journey, the lessons learned, and her hope and concern for the future of this planet we all call home. Patricia DeMarco is a local, regional, national, and global treasure, as well as being my personal hero. In the Steps of Rachel Carson she takes us with her through the jungles of Brazil to the snowy Alaskan wilderness, beginning and ending in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, her beloved hometown. Patricia shares her journey with us as she battles cancer, misogyny, big business, and corporate greed along the way-always sustained by family, flora, and fauna. Patricia provides an important message throughout her memoir that "the laws of nature are non-negotiable." We would do well to heed her warning. - Your Spiritual Journey Podcaster, Bob Dove PhD "In these times of ecological and social crises, it's easy to lose our way, to become heartbroken and discouraged. In these inspiring and intimate essays, Patty DeMarco's footsteps and those of Rachel Carson show us a path forward. May the examples of these world-changing women engender the next generation of Rachel Carsons we so desperately need." - Lou Leonard, Dean of the Falk School of Sustainability, Chatham University

He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself." - Johnny Carson A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. Among America's comedians, few if any have had the kind of influence on pop culture and society like Johnny Carson, the iconic host of The Tonight Show from 1962-1992. In addition to winning too many awards to count, Carson is proof that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, as admitted by subsequent comedy show hosts like Jay Leno and David Letterman, who not only vied to replace Carson but also used his format for their own shows (and still continue to do so). Carson may have pioneered the format of The Tonight Show, but he had already been involved in comedy for decades before then, starting with performances as "The Great Carsoni" when he was still a teen. The magic shows and comedy continued into college, where he had a running gag about interviewing pigeons on rooftops and asking them about a local political controversy. Carson's work was hailed by comedians like Red Skelton, who invited him to become a writer for him, and Jack Benny, who invited him onto the show, all before he had turned 30. For several years during the 1950s, Carson rotated around various daytime shows as host, meeting important friends like Ed McMahon along the way, but he made it big when he replaced Jack Paar as host of The Tonight Show in 1962. For the next 30 years, his mix of monologues, skits, and interviews would make his show must-see television on weekday nights, turning him into the highest paid television personality of the 1970s, and giving him the creative freedom to bring others along with him. In addition to bringing along his sidekick McMahon, Carson let guests host the show occasionally as well, thereby giving the spotlight to comedians like George Carlin, Letterman, Leno, and Joan Rivers. On the 25th anniversary of his debut on The Tonight Show, Carson earned a Peabody Award that labeled him "an American institution, a household word, the most widely quoted American." American Legends: The Life of Johnny Carson examines the life and work of one of America's most important entertainment icons. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about The Tonight Show's most famous host like never before, in no time at all.
Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit soll der Einblick in das literarische Werk von Carson McCullers um einen weiteren Aspekt, die Untersuchung des Raumes, bereichert werden. Fachfremde Forschungsergebnisse aus den Bereichen der Philosophie, Anthropologie, Physik, Musikwissenschaft, Psychologie und Architektur werden dabei ebenso berucksichtigt wie literaturwissenschaftliche und linguistische Aspekte. Die Abhandlung geht der Frage nach, ob die psychische Kondition eines Protagonisten, insbesondere in existentiellen Grenzsituationen, eine Entsprechung in Grenzbereichen des Raumes hat. Im zweiten Teil wird untersucht, inwieweit sich auch der Klangraum als bedeutendes Gestaltungselement im Erzahlwerk Carson McCullers' erweist."
Following the evolution of Ciaran Carson’s work, this book aims to trace the tension between orality and textuality, which can be discerned in the poetry of the Northern-Irish writer. Assuming these forces to be the two major sources of all literature, the author delineates, using deconstruction, how they inform and structure Carson’s poetic œuvre. Further thematic analyses focus on three major themes: memory, city and history, adopting various critical approaches, among them New Historicism and psychoanalysis. Finally, taking cue from Carson’s later work, an epistemological and metaphysical dimension of his poetry is revealed. This serves as the final vantage point from which the author offers a potential glimpse beyond the said dialectic, unveiling Carson’s broadly ethical project.
