Описание: Richard Matheson (1926-2013) was a prolific author and screenwriter whose career helped shape the horror and fantasy genres in literature, film, and television for over sixty years. Matheson authored more than ninety short stories and dozens of novels, many of which--including I Am Legend, A Stir of Echoes, What Dreams May Come, The Shrinking Man, Hell House, and Bid Time Return--have been adapted into feature films. Despite his extensive body of work and influence, however, Matheson has remained largely outside the scope of academic scrutiny. The essays in Reading Richard Matheson: A Critical Survey provide the first critical overview of Matheson's texts, covering seven of Matheson's novels, a sampling of short stories, and several adaptations for both film and television. The essays are arranged thematically and address the sociopolitical anxieties reflected in Matheson's oeuvre; consider his precursors and successors; and situate him within narrative traditions of mythology, cinema, genre, and memory studies. By providing an overview of his career, Reading Richard Matheson illustrates how a commercial writer can contribute to academic discourses of literature and film. Though the essays use a variety of theoretical frameworks, the crossover nature of the collection reflects the broad range of Matheson's output. As such, this volume will appeal to fans of Matheson's work in general as well as scholars of literature, film studies, cultural studies, genre studies, media studies, memory studies, and popular culture.
I recommend becoming a Master of POSITIVE THINKING. It requires 3 specific skills.
You must see yourself saying
First: "I Can, I Will, and I Did,"
Second: Visualize the beginning of an ambition and the END of the goal, and
Third: To recognize and have 6 daily goals each day.
Teach others the same. The first person to correct is yourself. I would not allow myself to negatively approach another and so the goal became: "If you catch me saying any negative remark, I will change and do better."
It was a excellent decision to teach positive thinking, but my next endeavors in the classroom were good listening and confrontational skills. I have also written other books: "The Tough and Tender Listener" and "The Art of Friendly Confrontation" and they are available through me. These are the basic life skills many are missing.
My credentials include a Masters in Family Life Education from Michigan State University and a Masters in Guidance and Counseling from Eastern Michigan University.
As a counselor and friend I positively affected the lives of thousands of young people. Scores of letters, visits, phone calls and cards validate the results of my caring for them.
The most important skill in relationship is the ability to listen to another human being. This skill is referred to over and over but it does a good listener DOES NOT GIVE ANSWERS. They listen to find the core of the situation bothering another person. It can be resemble an onion where you find layer of layer of material, but when you come to the core of their situation, it is where they break into tears. This is the essence of what good listening is all about.
