This biography of three generations of the De Mille family, including the epic Hollywood film-maker Cecil B.De Mille, traces their rise to prominence from theatrical origins in the 19th century to their later dominance in stage productions, film and dance. Many previously unpublished family photographs complement the study. Anne Edwards has written several books on the film industry which include biographies of Judy Garland, Katharine Hepburn, Vivien Leigh and Shirley Temple.

Based on the premise that one of the best ways for a student to understand a topic is to write about it, this is a book that teaches students how to write philosophical essays. Geared toward first-time philosophy students, the book is a supplement for any Philosophy course in which the instructor requires the students to write essays. Most of the work involved in a Philosophy class is reading assigned material, thinking about it, and then writing about it – whether on an exam or in an essay written outside of class. This book is designed to make all three of those activities easier. Writing to Learn begins with helpful hints on how to read philosophy (chapter 2). In chapters 3 through 7 students are guided through several different types of essays, beginning with the simplest summaries that demonstrate knowledge and understanding, and progressing through essays that require the application of theories to new situations, the analysis and evaluation of arguments used, and finally, the synthesis of several theories or arguments.

Without doubt the twentieth century's most celebrated operatic diva, Maria Callas blazed new paths, set new standards and changed the face of opera for ever. With her incandescent fame,extraordinary voice and dramatic talent, she should have led a sublimely happy life, yet betrayal and tragedy were her constant companions. Callas is both icon and myth, her private life indelibly coloured by passion, vulnerability, rejection, the madness of a voracious press and personal tragedy. The mystery of Callas's last days, the charlatan who preyed upon her, her private angst over Onassis, her thwarted affair with the homosexual Italian director Visconti and her traumatic New York childhood and youthful struggle to survive in war-torn Greece are told in this vivid account. Anne Edwards shows us the real Maria Callas, whose craving for affection and complex neurosis affected not only her life but her music.
