Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its founding in 1912, the short-lived Keystone Film Company—home of the frantic, bumbling Kops and Mack Sennett's Bathing Beauties—made an indelible mark on American popular culture with its high-energy comic shorts. Even as Keystone brought "lowbrow" comic traditions to the screen, the studio played a key role in reformulating those traditions for a new, cross-class audience. In The Fun Factory, Rob King explores the dimensions of that process, arguing for a new understanding of working-class cultural practices within early cinematic mass culture. He shows how Keystone fashioned a style of film comedy from the roughhouse humor of cheap theater, pioneering modes of representation that satirized film industry attempts at uplift. Interdisciplinary in its approach, The Fun Factory offers a unique studio history that views the changing politics of early film culture through the sociology of laughter.

Book excerpt: Before they exchange even a single word, Corrine knows that James will change everything. And sure enough, their serendipitous meeting in a North Carolina coffee shop sets off a whirlwind of desire and possibilities for the two. Timing, however, isn’t on the couple’s side. After their relationship ends, Corrine finds that years of putting her career and passions on hold for love have led to a stalled life. She once saw her receptionist job as temporary but got too comfortable and, before she knew it, lost sight of her dream of becoming a writer. Now, as Corrine makes her way into her late twenties, she’s on a quest to find herself. As she struggles to figure out what she really wants, she’ll discover that sometimes you have to take happiness into your own hands and that a fulfilling life is built on opportunities—even the missed ones.

Book excerpt: This novel is set in the golden decade before the Great War, when the music halls were the people's entertainment, before radio, television or cinema and bigger than all of them. The biggest draw of the day was entrepreneur Fred Karno, whose colossal comedy companies toured the country bringing laughter, slapstick, excitement and, above all, spectacle to the music hall stage. Arthur Dandoe is a young comedian trying to make his way up the hierarchy of the Fred Karno company. Along the way he develops a bitter professional and romantic rivalry with another ruthlessly ambitious performer; a young man destined to become the most celebrated on the planet - Charlie Chaplin.

Book excerpt: Our Bible Fun Factory Lesson Plans are "the essentials". The lessons that every single Christian child between 4-12 needs to be taught. As we explore Genesis, we find out that God is creative and he appreciates when we are creative as well. Lessons Included: Lesson 1: God's Creation Lesson 2: Noah & the Great Flood Lesson 3: God's Promise to Abraham Lesson 4: Abraham & Sarah Have a Baby Lesson 5: Isaac & Rebekah Find Each Other We have 3 core beliefs when we create Bible Lesson Plans: 1) They should be EASY for the teacher to teach. 2) They should be FUN for the child. 3) They should actually TEACH the child bedrock principles of the Christian Faith and the Bible. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Each of the Lessons Include: -Materials List (Don't worry, nearly everything can be gathered up at a moments notice from your own house. For example, you might need to grab a big spoon) -Complete Lesson (Including our much loved "teaching script" that tells you exactly what to say!) -Scripture Reading (we put the scripture reading in the lesson, to make it easy!) -2 Games (Kids LOVE games, each game teaches an important element of the overall lesson and lets the kids get up out of their seat and move around. Typically one game is geared to young children 4-7 and another for the 8-12 year olds) -2 Intro Activities (These activities get the kids engaged in the lesson and help to fill the time as kids trickle in.) -2 Lesson Activities (These activities vary from object lessons, crafts, treasure hunts, and more) -Closing Prayer (Our closing prayers are each designed to leave the kids with a positive message and reminder of the lesson). Class Length: The lessons are designed to run for one hour, but can easily be expanded to cover more time if needed. Age Level: The lessons include age-appropriate activities, discussion, and questions for children ages 4-12. Equally effective with mixed age groups or single age classes. Prep Time: Each lesson was designed to be taught after only 5-10 minutes of prep time. You don't need to go around collecting craft materials or spending an hour before class getting organized. You can literally "glance & go". Denomination: Our lessons can be used by churches of all denominations, as the topics covered are truly the foundation of Christian faith. In addition, any Bible translation can be used.
