Over the last five decades, the films of director Brian De Palma (b. 1940) have been among the biggest successes (The Untouchables, Mission: Impossible) and the most high-profile failures (The Bonfire of the Vanities) in Hollywood history. De Palma helped launch the careers of such prominent actors as Robert De Niro, John Travolta, and Sissy Spacek (who was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Actress in Carrie). Indeed Quentin Tarantino named Blow Out as one of his top three favorite films, praising De Palma as the best living American director. Picketed by feminists protesting its depictions of violence against women, Dressed to Kill helped to create the erotic thriller genre. Scarface, with its over-the-top performance by Al Pacino, remains a cult favorite. In the twenty-first century, De Palma has continued to experiment, incorporating elements from videogames (Femme Fatale), tabloid journalism (The Black Dahlia), YouTube, and Skype (Redacted and Passion) into his latest works. What makes De Palma such a maverick even when he is making Hollywood genre films? Why do his movies often feature megalomaniacs and failed heroes? Is he merely a misogynist and an imitator of Alfred Hitchcock? To answer these questions, author Douglas Keesey takes a biographical approach to De Palma's cinema, showing how De Palma reworks events from his own life into his films. Written in an accessible style, and including a chapter on every one of his films to date, this book is for anyone who wants to know more about De Palma's controversial films or who wants to better understand the man who made them.

Everyday objects transformed into an extraordinary elephant sculpture Over the past two decades, British Columbia–based Indigenous artist Brian Jungen (born 1970) has become internationally recognized for his imaginative body of sculpture using repurposed material. This book takes a deep dive into his process and influences in the creation of a monumental elephant sculpture made out of couches—the first-ever public art commission at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Generously illustrated, the book offers a significant visual record from early sketches and ideas through to production, transportation and installation. It details Jungen’s deep material explorations which highlight a long history of inequality, a concern for the environment and a profound commitment to Indigenous ways of knowing and making. A timeline from Henry Moore's public sculpture The Archer to Couch Monster sets Jungen’s career in context, and an interview between AGO Chief Curator Julian Cox and Jungen looks at the development of the project.
As a left winger for the Philadelphia Flyers, Brian Propp was constantly in motion, racking up goals and assists and amassing over one thousand points during 15 NHL seasons. In retirement, he scarely slowed down, chasing opportunities in business, broadcasting, and leadership. But his life was changed forever on September 3, 2015, when he suffered a massive brain stroke. The life-threatening event temporarily took away Propp's ability to speak and walk. It required several years of dedicated rehabilitation just to return to normal life. In Angel On My Wing, Propp shares the full story of his personal journey on the ice and beyond—one of triumph, heartbreak, then determination. Today, he provides hope and motivation for other stroke victims. This candid chronicle of rebirth through hard work, discipline, patience, and faith will resonate among hockey fans and throughout the recovery community.
From the Introduction: This pretty much is what the title says. Many of the stories/novellas here will have only been done in limited print runs, such as in fanzines, magazines, pamphlets, special editions or online magazines. It's a mixed genre of stories and these are what Brian considers the best of the rest of the stories in his body of work. We've got 111,000+ words in this collection so that means lots of enjoyment in what is likely the last collection coming from Brian. "The Challenge" As some fools do. But do you dare? Yes? Well, don't "The Man Who Photographed Beardsley" They should have been pictures from life - or was he simply impatient? "The Cyprus Shell" There are some you can eat, while others have their own pick-me-ups. "Clean Slate" If you're in debt to the Devil, don't mess with look-a-like sisters. "The Deep-Sea Conch" Some species build nests; while others are much like the cuckoo.... "The Ugly Act" But what's a pimple or two - if there's only you? "Irving's Story" Her downstairs knew best, every time. "The Running Man" It may be true you can run - but as for finding a place to hide...? "Somebody Calling" The only way she could. He simply had to listen harder. "Vanessa's Voice" Both beautiful ... and deadly "The Vehicle" Some might think of him that way, others as a dyadic personality? "Mandraki" Take care who you lie down with ... and where "Two Stone Tom" Yes, except he was an entire science heavier than that "The Long Last Night" Was it just a myth - or a Mythos? "The Weird Wines of Naxas Niss" A wizard's stolen potion is another man's gateway to Nirvana...maybe "Stealer of Dreams" Always remember, once they're gone they might stay gone
An emotional memoir by a mother who shares the harrowing experience of losing her son to suicide.

In this emotional memoir, Brian's mother tries to understand the sudden mental illness that took over Brian's life and led to his suicide. She describes the failures of the systems that could have helped him. And she shares her efforts to heal-a difficult path that other grieving families know all too well.
