The various photos showing abandon railroad grades and shots of once busy steel-rails covered over in asphalt are especially telling.And while the folks looking for photos of coal-drags over tall mountains may be disappointed, anyone that wants to understand how the railroads REALLY affected towns across the eastern United States, then you need this book.A good book that combines railroading with American history. The author's story has enough interest on its own that it works best when Weller steps back and simply tells it, particularly his frequently troubled relationships with luminaries in film and television such as John Huston (for whom Bradbury penned his most successful screenplay, "Moby Dick") and Rod Serling, whose "Twilight Zone" series frequently paid homage to, and possibly plagiarized, Bradbury's ideas while rejecting the author's own teleplays. Full of references, quotes and superficial historical clips. This book is an exciting mystery, a chilling horror story, and a touching tale of friendship all rolled into one. I needed this book for information regarding the adjustments of the shifting mechanism. Flowery, vague. Hearst had no real choice but to join her captors and rob banks under her new name "Tania".

This lively and thoughtful book will provide grist for many good debates among educators and those who care about our schools. --Heather Kirkpatrick, vice president of educatioRevised, Expanded, and Updated Edition Cutting Through the Hype: The Essential Guide to School Reform offers balanced analyses of 23 currently popular school reform strategies, from teacher performance pay and putting mayors in charge to turnaround schools and data-driven instruction. Written by two savvy and experienced educator-researchers, Cutting Through the Hype is a book for expert and nonexpert readers alike—policymakers, researchers, school leaders, teachers, and concerned citizens and parents—indeed, for all who are committed to schools and have a stake in their success.". Avoiding the heated rhetoric and exaggerated claims that accompany many education reforms, each chapter explains clearly and concisely what each reform intends to do, what happens in reality, and what it takes to make it work
