Critically analyzing four decades of television situation comedies from The Honeymooners to The Bill Cosby Show, Hamamoto shows how the sitcom reflects, explains, legitimates, and challenges the society in which it is grounded, illumining the power of laughter both to reaffirm and to question existing social structures. . . . Hamamoto offers a well-researched and refreshingly lucid study, immensely readable for its astute scholarship. Indispensable for students and scholars of television, popular culture, and comedy. Choice Nervous Laughter examines forty years of situation comedy, decade by decade, providing the first truly panoramic view of TV's most popular dramatic form. Within this context, Hamamoto traces what he describes as the dominant liberal democratic ideology implicit within situation comedy and explains its enduring popularity. Examining liberal democratic culture, politics, and society he demonstrates how the sitcom resolves social contradictions. Borrowing freely from the social sciences, history, and literary criticism he explains the curious grip the TV sitcom has had on its audience for over forty years. This book critically assesses the relationship between the media and society bringing questions of power, equality, and democracy to the foreground. Nervous Laughter is important reading for both the specialist and the general reader in its analysis of postwar American society. Nervous Laughter is a study of liberal democratic culture, politics, and society. It describes the ways affirmative aspects and contradictions of liberal democratic ideology are given form in television situation comedy. It provides a close reading of forty years of television texts. Arguing against mainstream theories of mass communications, the author presents an analytic framework that looks instead at conflict and contradiction within class society. Challenging the legitimacy of airwave control by non-democratic social institutions, Nervous Laughter concludes with a modest agenda that might lead to democratization of television.

"Destined to rank among the best of the new generation of American private eye writers." --Chicago Sun-Times Thomas Black hits P.I. pay dirt when he shadows a alleged philanderer to a tryst. But instead of two illicit lovers, he finds two bodies, an apparent murder-suicide. The dead man's grieving widow doesn't believe her late husband pulled the trigger--on his lover or himself. Everyone--including Black's own sexy client--seems to be hiding something. Maybe the name of the murdered man's equally dead girlfriend, Bea Hindenburg, should have warned Black that this case was destined to crash and burn. . . . "Emerson's sense of creating lean plot and dialogue improves with each book." --The Seattle Times

You'll not find six more remarkable characters: a cashier-turnedmotivational speaker, an undertaker with a toenail fetish, a girl wrapped in dreams, a man who communicates with whales, a garbage man with a peculiar sense of smell, and a Guinness Book of World Records representative. When a random holdup at a local grocery brings them together, their once separate lives intertwine in a humorous blend of lyricism, whimsy and wit. This is a rare book about what love does to us, how our lives are changed by being in love—and the odd ways in which we sometimes behave. Up-and-coming novelist McNulty shows herself to be a writer to watch.

This is Lisa Mauro's first compilation of drawings, doodles and cartoons selected from her inventory of art. Her work has been felt to be irreverent, surreal, scary, cringe-worthy, silly and dizzying -- especially if you have just gotten off one of those spinning teacup rides at the county fair. Charles Manson, Martha Stewart, Abe Lincoln, Vincent Van Gogh, Il Duce, Carl Jung, Santa, Jesus, and many, many others contained within these pages will delight and entertain you. Reading Lisa's book is often described as akin to eating a delicious chocolate and vanilla soft serve ice cream cone -- only you just have to be prepared for the wicked ice cream headache afterwards. Bon Appetit!

Organisational Development in Healthcare introduces the practical ways in which change in health services can be promoted. It includes descriptions of all of the most important approaches to change currently being used in the NHS discussion of when they work best and details of the evidence of their impact. 'The interest in organisational development reflects a growing realisation that many of our previous managerial methods are inappropriate and that a new set of techniques and approaches are required. As this book points out creating a new set of jargon techniques and alchemy will surely mean that organisational development is as divorced from what clinicians do patients experience and the public expects as previous reform programmes. Change ideas such as case management for long term conditions that should directly appeal to what clinicians want to achieve could become yet another project done by management that will pass when the enthusiasm wanes and which totally alienates those it should most appeal to. This book provides a key guide to leaders trying to engage their staff in changing their organisations by bringing together theory and experience. This is important as too often theory is neglected and there is inadequate reflection on experience' Nigel Edwards in his Foreword 'An invaluable addition to every practising health manager's bookshelf. I hope you gain a great deal from reading this book and I hope it helps in the efforts that are underway to transform our National Health Service.' David Fillingham in his Foreword

Nervous Laughter written by Joseph Andrew Huver and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2011 with American poetry categories.
Nervous Laughter is the first collection of poetry written by Andrew Huver. The authors' collection often deals with laughter that comes through pain and sorrow: the laughter of comfort. The domestic world features prominently in the collection. The poems in Nervous Laughter explore the domestic world with humor, love, and an endless desire to understand the immediate world-the world of mind. The authors' poems delight in human experience all while expressing a deep reverie for the brevity and fragility of life. He draws upon the poetic vision of those poets who have sought to understand the world by ordering their experience in new ways. His work is heavily influenced by the work of such poets as Wallace Stevens and Elizabeth Bishop for its imaginative depth, and such contemporaries as Billy Collins, Sharon Olds, and Mark Doty for its playful wit.
