The Cattleman: Heart Of A Hero The Cattleman Countermeasures (West Texas Watchmen Series #2)
by Angi MorganThe author of The Sheriff “pens a lovely comeback story . . . With equal parts action, romance and compelling characters, she hits all the right notes” (RT Book Reviews, Top Pick).A city girl like Beth Conrad has no business on Nick Burke’s Texas ranch. Even if the city girl in question is a DEA agent investigating gunrunners supposedly using Nick’s land as a staging ground. One look in her eyes and he can’t resist helping with her sure-to-fail mission . . . or his undeniable attraction to her. But Nick is fighting demons from his past, which leaves little room for romance. Beth vows to help Nick face his PTSD, and Nick promises to pose as her fiancé to help her bring down the perps. But when circumstances force Nick to relive the traumatic shooting that altered his life—this time with Beth’s safety in the balance—he makes it his duty to ensure the outcome will be a whole lot happier.
The Celluloid Atlantic: Hollywood, Cinecittà, and the Making of the Cinema of the West, 1943–1973 (SUNY series, Horizons of Cinema)
by Saverio GiovacchiniOffers a fresh look at American and Italian cinema in the postwar period.The Celluloid Atlantic changes the way we look at American and Italian cinema in the postwar period. In the thirty years following World War II, American and Italian film industries came to be an integrated, transnational unit rather than two separate, nation-based entities. Written in jargon-free prose and based on previously unexplored archival sources, this book revisits the history of Neorealism, World War II combat cinema, the "Western all'Italiana," and the career of John Kitzmiller, the African American star who made Italy his home and was the first person of color to win the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival. The Celluloid Atlantic makes the trailblazing argument that culturally hybrid genres like the so-called spaghetti Western were less the exceptions than the norm. Giovacchini argues that the waning of the Celluloid Atlantic in the early 1970s was due to the economic policies of the first Nixon administration, specifically its important, but largely neglected, Revenue Act of 1971, as well as to the ideological debates between Europeans and Americans that intensified during the American intervention in Vietnam.
