Il est surtout connu pour son rôle de Hans dans Freaks, la monstrueuse parade (1932) de Tod Browning. La vie de Harry Earles est étroitement liée à celle de trois de ses sœurs, et en partie à leur taille peu commune. Kurt Schneider est né à Stolpen en Allemagne, le 3 avril 1902. Ses parents étaient Emma et Gustav Schneider, et sa famille compte 7 enfants. Comme sa sœur Frieda, née quelques années avant lui, le 12 mars 1899, il apparut qu'il était atteint de nanisme. Par la suite, ses parents donnèrent naissance à deux autres enfants avec cette même particularité : deux filles, Hilda, née le 29 avril 1907, et Elly, née le 23 juillet 1914. Kurt et Frieda furent les deux premiers parmi eux à se produire dans des spectacles de foire, dans un numéro inspiré du conte Hansel et Gretel. Ils furent repérés par un Américain du nom de Bert W. Earles, qui décida de leur faire franchir l'Atlantique pour faire des tournées de spectacles à travers les États-Unis. La tournée s'appelait le 101 Ranch Wild West Show. Kurt et sa sœur Frieda vivaient alors à Pasadena, en Californie, avec la famille Earles. Suite au succès que rencontraient Kurt et Frieda, à la scène Harry et Grace, Earles fit également venir aux États-Unis leurs ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Michael Dunn (October 20, 1934 August 30, 1973) was an American actor and singer who shunned the usual "cute" typecasting of dwarf actors and sought serious roles requiring dramatic skill. He was a trailblazer who ultimately inspired a generation of dedicated actors with extreme short stature, including Zelda Rubinstein, Mark Povinelli, and Ricardo Gil. Michael Dunn suffered from medical Dwarfism, a result of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SED, subtype unknown), a genetic defect of cartilage production caused by a mutation in the COL2A1 (type II collagen) gene. This disorder, classified as a skeletal dysplasia, caused distorted development of his limbs, spine, and ribcage and led to early, widespread osteoa...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1388973 ...

Product Description
An introductory textbook for tertiary courses in cultural studies, communications studies, and social semiotics. It aims to equip the student with the conceptual materials necessary for advanced undergraduate study in these fields. Where other textbooks in his area ask the student first to learn and then to apply a body of theoretical work, Tools for Cultural Studies begins by identifying a number of aspects found in actual situations of social sign use, and examines how these may be thought through in the most effective ways. Rather than treat its materials as elements of a single overall theory of communication, it develops a flexible set of conceptual tools for a practical analytic competence. As well as pointing out the complex nature of the social, it encourages a critical and inventive attitude to cultural theory itself. ... Read more

From the author: Family-centered care (FCC) is a model of patient care delivery that encourages the inclusion of the family in the planning and provision of care. Although this model has been discussed extensively in the literature and adopted by some institutions, it is one that many have difficulty implementing. The purpose of this study was to test the elements of a FCC philosophy developed for maternal/child units at a major medical center. Questionnaires developed for this study and translated into four languages were completed by 193 parent/patient participants. The questionnaire asked participants to rate the importance of FCC interventions and report which interventions had been provided. Most of the participants were Caucasian, married, female, had an annual income of $20,000 or less, had 12 or fewer years of education, and were younger than 40 years of age. Overall, "feeling welcome when I come to the hospital" was the highest rated item by parents of hospitalized neonates and children and perinatal patients. Findings from this study will be used to implement a FCC care philosophy.
