Da ColtonBurpo overlevde sprukken blindtarm, var familien overlykkelig over miraklet. Det de ikke var forberedt på, var det som kom for dagen i månedene etterpå - en fortelling like vakker som den var uvanlig, om den lille guttens snarvisitt i Himmelen. Colton, som ennå ikke hadde fylt fire år, fortalte foreldrene at han var utenfor kroppen under operasjonen - og han skildret nøyaktig hva foreldrene holdt på med akkurat da i en annen del av sykehuset. Han snakket om besøket i Himmelen og gjenfortalte ting han hadde hørt av mennesker han hadde truffet der, personer han aldri hadde møtt her i livet og som fortalte ham om ting som skjedde til og med før han ble født. "Himmelen er på or'ntli" er Coltons fortelling, gjengitt av faren og gir oss et glimt av den verden som venter oss. En verden der "ingen er gamle og ingen bruker briller", ifølge Colton.

Principles of Virology is the leading virology textbook because it does more than collect and present facts about individual viruses. Instead, it facilitates an understanding of basic virology by examining the shared processes and capabilities of viruses. Using a set of representative viruses to present the complexity and diversity of a myriad of viruses, this rational approach enables students to understand how reproduction is accomplished by known viruses and provides the tools for future encounters with new or understudied viruses.This fully updated edition represents the rapidly changing field of virology. A major new feature is the inclusion of 26 video interviews with leading scientists who have made significant contributions to the field of virology.

By the early 1980s, the traditional regional structure of British rail was increasingly outdated and, in 1982, the passenger business was split into three sectors: InterCity, London & South East and provincial. For the first time in railway history, all of the main-line services operating into the London termini along with the rest of the railways in southeast England were united into a single and co-ordinated structure. In 1986, following the appointment of Chris Green as Chairman, the London & South East sector was rebranded as Network SouthEast with a new and bright livery of red, white and blue. With the area of operation extended to include King's Lynn and Exeter, there was to be almost a decade of major investment in new rolling stock, infrastructure and marketing that was to see NSE as one of the most innovative of railway operators.NSE-branded locomotives operated on services from Waterloo to Exeter, from Paddington over the GWR main line and over the ex-GER lines of East Anglia, whilst major investment saw electrification to Norwich and the reopening of the Snow Hill tunnel, permitting the creation of the electrified service from the ex-Midland main line through to the former Southern Region. New units arrived in large numbers, revolutionising services, for example, into London Marylebone.

During Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's glory days, the studio's famous Arthur Freed Unit made an extraordinary string of dazzling musicals. One of its very best was The Pirate. Based on a successful 942 Broadway production, the film was directed by Vincente Minnelli and starred Gene Kelly and Judy Garland. It showcased some of the brightest work of these three gifted moviemakers and entranced many critics and viewers with exotic set decor and costumes, brilliant Technicolor application, stunning dance routines, and a clever plot about an actor who pretends to be a famous pirate to win the love of a fanciful island girl.The Cinematic Voyage of The Pirate: Kelly, Garland, and Minnelli at Work follows the model of Hess and Dabholkar's previous study of Singin' in the Rain. Drawing on exhaustive research in archives, memoirs, interviews, and newspaper coverage, it takes the reader from the original conception of the story in the mind of a German playwright named Ludwig Fulda, through S. N. Behrman's Broadway production starring Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, to the arduous task of crafting a suitable screenplay at MGM. Behind-the-scenes issues such as Garland's personal problems during the making of the film and the shaping of the film by Minnelli and Kelly are among the many subjects detailed here.While the initial reception of The Pirate reinforced hopes for its success, many audiences did not understand the film's tongue-in-cheek aspect, and some critical reviews were mixed. This shaded the perception of the film and its significance. As this careful study shows, The Pirate was a commercial and critical success despite some early misperceptions. The movie made a small profit for MGM, and the film grew in public appeal over time.The Pirate has been studied by film historians, gender studies scholars, and film studies professionals since it was released in 1948; and The Cinematic Voyage of The Pirate contributes to a growing literature asserting the importance of single-film production history and the significance of the film musical in the golden age of Hollywood.
