The intimate animal : the science of sex, fidelity, and why we live and die for love / by Garcia, Justin R.,1985-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."To be human is to be intimate. Intimacy is core to the human condition, a key pillar of a loving relationship, and an evolutionary drive. But human intimacy comes in two forms -- physical and emotional -- that aren't necessarily experienced with the same partner or at the same time. From the thrill of attraction, to the pangs of heartbreak, says evolutionary biologist and Kinsey Institute Director, Dr. Justin Garcia, this uniquely human tension between emotional and physical intimacy is what explains so much of the joy, and the pain, of romantic love. In The Intimate Animal, Dr. Garcia applies an evolutionary lens to the full spectrum of intimate experiences, including why we love who we love (even people who are wrong for us); why we stay in unfulfilling relationships but stray from gratifying ones; why we might open our relationship or be in a mutually committed relationship with multiple partners, why we grow apart and move on -- or choose to stay together even when it's hard. Whether you are still searching for that special someone, considering taking a relationship to the next level, or looking for ways to keep the romance of a long-term relationship alive Dr Garcia will equip you with a deeper understanding of how the intimate animal (us!) navigates the beautiful messiness of deciding to share a life with someone. In a world where moments of true human connection are becoming more elusive, this is the essential evolutionary toolkit for finding and nurturing the love that defines our lives"--

"Marla Gibbs has been a Hollywood icon for generations of fans. Now, at ninety-three, she chronicles her climb from a difficult youth in which she yearned for safety and love, to the high-stakes world of Hollywood where she became a confident power broker learning to work behind the scenes for fair pay, access, and more creative control for herself and her colleagues. Told in her forthright voice, It's Never Too Late illuminates Gibbs' daring move to Los Angeles to rebuild her life after an abusive marriage, how she became an actor, and how she eventually learned to balance acting with show running. She was a "Boss Bae" decades before the term would become entertainment industry shorthand for a power flex. While developing 227 her lawyer won her "all rights, courtesies and privileges of an executive producer without the credit." Though the authority she wielded behind the scenes created deep tensions on and off the set, her hard-luck young life had prepared her to succeed even as her tenacity was put to the test. Her experiences laid the groundwork for power brokers like Shonda Rhimes and Issa Rae. An inspiring personal portrait of triumph and Hollywood that reminds us we can leave the past behind, It's Never Too Late is the true tale of a remarkable life and a wise guidebook for aspiring artists, entrepreneurs, and entertainment fans"--

The last kings of Hollywood : Coppola, Lucas, Spielberg and the battle for the soul of American cinema / by Fischer, Paul(Documentary film producer),author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The untold, intimate story of how three young visionaries -- Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg -- revolutionized American cinema, creating the most iconic films in history while risking everything, redefining friendship, and shaping Hollywood as we know it. In the summer of 1967, as the old Hollywood studio system was dying, an intense, uncompromising young film school graduate named George Lucas walked onto the Warner Bros backlot for his first day working as an assistant to another up-and-coming, largely-unknown filmmaker, a boisterous father of two called Francis Ford Coppola. At the exact same time, across town on the Universal Studios lot, a film-obsessed twenty-year-old from a peripatetic Jewish family, Steven Spielberg, longed to break free from his apprenticeship for the struggling studio and become a film director in his own right. Within a year, the three men would become friends. Spielberg, prioritizing security, got his seven-year contract directing television. Lucas and Coppola, hungry for independence, left Hollywood for San Francisco to found an alternative studio, American Zoetrope, and make films without answering to corporate capitalism. Based on extensive research and hundreds of original interviews with the inner circle of these Hollywood icons, The Last Kings of Hollywood tells the thrilling, dramatic inside story of how, over the next fifteen years, the three filmmakers rivalled and supported each other, fell out and reconciled, and struggled to reinvent popular American cinema. Along the way, Coppola directed The Godfather, then the highest-grossing film of all-time, until Spielberg surpassed it with Jaws -- whose record Lucas broke with Star Wars, which Spielberg surpassed again with E.T. By the early 1980s, they were the richest, best-known filmmakers in the world, each with an empire of their own. The Last Kings of Hollywood is an unprecedented chronicle of their rise, their dreams and demons, their triumphs and their failures -- intimate, extraordinary, and supremely entertaining"--
