Epicenter Press, Incorporated. Very Good. 5.50(w) x 8.50(h) x 0.46(d). Paperback. 1997. 226 pages. <br>In the 1970s, the world's largest construction com panies invaded Alaska in a wild rush to build the 800-mile $8 bil lion trans-Alaska pipeline. Workers by the tens of thousands head ed north, hoping to make their fortunes working on the pipeline, in a stampede that dramatically affected Alaska. With the avalanc he of big money and new arrivals came new problems: drugs, prosti tution, gambling, and violent crime. Rapid economic and social ch anges ultimately touched the lives of virtually every Alaskan. Jo urnalist Dermot Cole, dean of the Alaska press corps, recalls the best of the pipeline stories with humor, authenticity, and drama . ., Epicenter Press, Incorporated, 1997, 3, Knopf Doubleday Publishing G., 2005. Good. Forty years after Tom Wolfe, Hunter S. Thompson, and Gay Talese launched th e New Journalism movement, Robert S. Boynton sits down with nineteen practi tioners of what he calls the New New Journalism to discuss their methods, w ritings and careers. The New New Journalists are first and foremost brilliant reporters who imme rse themselves completely in their subjects. Jon Krakauer accompanies a mou ntaineering expedition to Everest. Ted Conover works for nearly a year as a prison guard. Susan Orlean follows orchid fanciers to reveal an obsessive subculture few knew existed. Adrian Nicole LeBlanc spends nearly a decade r eporting on a family in the South Bronx. And like their muckraking early tw entieth-century precursors, they are drawn to the most pressing issues of t he day: Alex Kotlowitz, Leon Dash, and William Finnegan to race and class; Ron Rosenbaum to the problem of evil; Michael Lewis to boom-and-bust econom ies; Richard Ben Cramer to the nitty gritty of politics. How do they do it? In these interviews, they reveal the techniques and inspirations behind th eir acclaimed works, from their felt-tip pens, tape recorders, long car rid es, and assumed identities; to their intimate understanding of the way a tr uly great story unfolds. Interviews with: Gay Talese Jane Kramer Calvin Trillin Richard Ben Cramer Ted Conover Alex Kotlowitz Richard Preston William Langewiesche Eric Schlosser Leon Dash William Finnegan Jonathan Harr Jon Krakauer Adrian Nicole LeBlanc Michael Lewis Susan Orlean Ron Rosenbaum Lawrence Weschler Lawrence Wright., Knopf Doubleday Publishing G., 2005, 2.5, London England: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1992. Paperback. Couple of slight creases to cover. Slight wear to bottom edge of spine. Michael crawford is probably best known for his role as the hapless Frank Spencer in the television series Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em but, more recently he has also enjoyed success in the title roles of the British state musicals Billy and Barnum. Then as the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera he was hailed as a superstar both in London's West End and on Broadway. The author reveals, however, that Crawford was by no means an instant success, and that behind this unique talent lies a series of failures and disappointments, a failed marriage and problems with women. In this intimate and informed biography, which includes interviews with many of Crawford's fellow actors, Anthony Hayward tells the real story of how this intensely private man became a superstar.
