A media ecologist's view of the US's love affair with television and its effects on social and familial structures, as well as her impassioned arguments for turning the TV off. Pawlowski (speech communication, U. of Northern Colorado) outlines, for the general reader, the problems with television programming for regular viewers and, particularly, their families. She traces the history of TV viewing, including how programs have changed and what societal values this reflects or creates; the many roles the TV now fulfills that were previously occupied by people (family manager, gender mentor, sexual advisor, hero, friend, etc.); and what the future holds and how people may wean themselves from watching.

Tom is having second thoughts about his relationship with Janice. She’d been so carefree and eccentric when they’d fallen in love. Now he feels trapped in a poisoned relationship. She’s taken all the fun out of life with her militant vegetarianism, organic whines—err, organic wines and homemade aphrodisiacs. Now she’s just crazy - and her kooky friends are no better. But the craziness in Tom’s life only truly begins when she kicks him out and he hastily answers a room advertisement for what appears at first to be the perfect escape - a bachelor pad in the heart of Oxford. When the door is opened by his mysterious acquaintance, John, it seems as though fate has stepped in, and Tom quickly settles back into a life of blissful carnivorous freedom. Although Tom is no longer under Janice’s control, he unwittingly remains the victim of manipulation – this time from John – who wields far more influence over Tom’s personal life than he is aware of. Between their girlfriends, the weird smell in the front of the house, John’s secret agenda and police escapades at the neighbourhood grocer’s, eccentricity and crazy take on an entirely new meaning! This wonderfully hilarious coming of age story is just what the doctor ordered…with a pint and fish and chips, of course! Get your copy today and laugh your troubles away!

Pura Belpre Honor winner for The Revolution of Evelyn Serrano and one of America's most influential Hispanics--'Maria' on Sesame Street--delivers a beautifully wrought coming-of-age memoir. Set in the 1970s in the Bronx, this is the story of a girl with a dream. Emmy award-winning actress and writer Sonia Manzano plunges us into the daily lives of a Latino family that is loving--and troubled. This is Sonia's own story rendered with an unforgettable narrative power. When readers meet young Sonia, she is a child living amidst the squalor of a boisterous home that is filled with noisy relatives and nosy neighbors. Each day she is glued to the TV screen that blots out the painful realities of her existence and also illuminates the possibilities that lie ahead. But--click!--when the TV goes off, Sonia is taken back to real-life--the cramped, colorful world of her neighborhood and an alcoholic father. But it is Sonia's dream of becoming an actress that keeps her afloat among the turbulence of her life and times. Spiced with culture, heartache, and humor, this memoir paints a lasting portrait of a girl's resilience as she grows up to become an inspiration to millions.

As an American in London she’s discovered not every Englishman is Tom Hiddleston. There was the guy who wanted to suck her toes in public, and the guy who thought he was an alien. As in the kind from outer space. Broken heart? Kate’s been there. After her husband left her for a hot Brazilian, her world came crashing down. Her heart and her confidence pretty much got thrown in a blender set to “chop.” Her only options were to run home to America with her tail between her legs, or put on her big girl panties and get on with life. She chose the latter. Faith in men? Surprisingly restored by the dreamy Adam Wentworth whose kindness and wicked sense of humor send Kate’s damaged heart fluttering once again. After kissing so many frogs, she’s determined not to let this prince get away. To Kiss a Prince - Notting Hill Diaries - Book 2 Anna’s life has fallen apart. First, she gets fired and then she finds her boyfriend in bed with the neighbor. When she is offered a job across the Pond, Anna jumps at the chance to leave everything behind and start again. Even though her new boss, Bella, thinks she is beneath her, Anna finds herself enjoying her new life as the nanny to very adorable twin boys. What Anna isn’t expecting is Evander. He would be the perfect man for her if not for one pesky problem. He is the twins’ uncle and therefore off limits. Too bad Evander didn’t get the memo. Notting Hill is nothing short of magical as Valentine’s Day approaches and anything is possible as Evander sets out to win the love of the nanny who has stolen his heart. Kiss Me, Chloe - Notting Hill Diaries - Book 3 Unlucky in love? That's Chloe. She's got a list of crazy dates and nutty suitors a mile long. If only she could break the cycle just once and find her Mr. Right. Shattered dreams? Maybe. But Chloe isn't the type to give up on love.

If she can get over her own insecurities about dating, she might just find out that Mr. Right is right under her nose. Kiss Me, Stupid - Notting Hill Diaries - Book 4 After hitting the big 4-oh, Deb hits an all-time low. Her job sucks, her love life is non-existent, and she's tired of living in a small market town. So, she does what any woman of sense would do: quits her job, sells her house, and gets a life. What she doesn't expect is the attention of a very hot younger man. And the only chance she has for happiness is to get over herself and take a chance, even if it does seem stupid. Kissing Mr. Darcy - Notting Hill Diaries - Book 5 Like half the women in the known universe, Emma Roberts is in love with Mr. Darcy. When the opportunity to live in London presents itself, she jumps at the chance determined to find her own Mr. Darcy. Alas, the road to true love isn't quite as smooth as one might hope.
