Are you looking for a special book of endearing quick reads? Are you looking for a book of short stories to captivate you and stick in your mind forever? Here you go! Oh, oh! Look out! The flashes return! Along with some sparks and shorts too. An entire circuit of reading delight as Paul John Hausleben adds the fourth book of short pieces of fiction to the series “Flash Fiction, Thoughts, Essays, and Short Stories” by Mr. Paul John Hausleben. In the fourth book for the collection, the author once more mixes up the genres with his meditative thoughts on life with the various sparks, some religion, romance, along with doses of fantasy and emotional outpourings. When the author feels the stories are too emotional and a little on the dark side, he strategically mixes the collection up with some of his trademark humorous pieces, to keep the spirit of the book lively and enduring. The book is anchored by the critically acclaimed story, “Many Mansions,” a short story loosely based upon the Bible verse of John 14:2-6 and the remarkable romantic flash fiction piece “The Branch Sitters” and the emotional flash fiction piece “A Line of Stones.” These stories highlight the wide range of creativity of the author as he bridges genres effortlessly within layers of captivating storytelling. As the author writes in the opening notes of the book, “If you give me doses of inspiration that I can write forever.” This is another outstanding collection of thoughts, short stories, flash fiction, and general meanderings in this very popular series, all of which highlight and demonstrate the author’s exceptional skills at writing shorter stories and flash fiction pieces. As did the other books in the series, Flashes, Sparks, and Shorts, Flash Four will capture the hearts and minds of faithful followers of Mr. Hausleben’s previous work, and new readers that first experience the magical storytelling abilities of Mr. Paul John Hausleben.
The distinguished title of being the first high school precision dance and drill team in the world was initiated in Greenville, Texas, when Miss Gussie Nell Davis, originator of the world-famous Kilgore Rangerettes, began her teaching career at Greenville High School in 1928. Miss Davis' love for dancing influenced her girls' physical education classes through movement to music. She saw the need for extracurricular activities for these young women and began with organizing a pep squad to perform during halftime activities during the football games. Her creative ideas sparked the growth of this pep squad into a drum and bugle corps that transitioned into a precision dance and drill group, The Flaming Flashes, chartered in 1934. Dedicated to Miss Lori Butler, who celebrated her Silver Anniversary as director of this group, the chronological history encompasses activities from 1928 through 2015 and includes many interesting anecdotes contributed by former members of the GHS Band and Flashes, their family members, and community leaders.
Flash! presents a fascinating cultural history of flash photography, from its mid-nineteenth century beginnings to the present day. All photography requires light, but the light of flash photography is quite distinctive: artificial, sudden, shocking, intrusive, and extraordinarily bright. Associated with revelation and wonder, it has been linked to the sublimity of lightning. Yet it has also been reviled: it's inseparable from anxieties about intrusion and violence, it creates a visual disturbance, and its effects are often harsh and create exaggerated contrasts. Flash! explores flash's power to reveal shocking social conditions, its impact on the representation of race, its illumination of what would otherwise remain hidden in darkness, and its capacity to put on display the most mundane corners of everyday life. It looks at flash's distinct aesthetics, examines how paparazzi chase celebrities, how flash is intimately linked to crime, how flash has been used to light up - and interrupt - countless family gatherings, how flash can 'stop time' allowing one to photograph rapidly moving objects or freeze in a strobe, and it considers the biggest flash of all, the atomic bomb. Examining the work of professionals and amateurs, news hounds and art photographers, photographers of crime and of wildlife, the volume builds a picture of flash's place in popular culture, and its role in literature and film. Generously illustrated throughout, Flash! brings out the central role of this medium to the history of photography and challenges some commonly held ideas about the nature of photography itself.
