Blowing the Bloody Doors Off: and Other Lessons in Lifeby Michael CaineImagine spending seven satisfying hours with English actor Michael Caine while he tells you all about his life. This audiobook offers just such an experience, and the time flies. Caine is warm, conversational, funny, serious, and wise, and listeners will enjoy every anecdote and word of advice. With a cast of celebrity friends, colleagues, and cherished family members, Caine recounts his childhood, WWII years, many part-time jobs, and long-in-coming "overnight" success. He offers humorous, candid opinions on his career, including his films, plays, and costars. While the audiobook seems like a master class in acting, Caine turns his best-learned lessons into excellent rules to adopt whatever one's career choice: Arrive on time and prepared; be ready for luck; and when you fail, learn from it. Enjoyable listening. S.J.H. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine

New!! Credo Reference is a library database that contains full-text dictionaries, encyclopedias, and other reference books that can be searched using key words. Use this database to find definitions, overview articles on a topic, or even pronunciation of medical terms. Credo Reference provides access to hundreds of in-depth topics covering every major subject from Accounting to Art History and Shakespeare to Einstein, and includes Mind Maps that visually show relationships between topics and keywords. Why use Wikipedia when Credo Reference is a resource that is easy to use, free through the Library, and contains the same type of information, but does so using credible and cited articles from previously published encyclopedias and dictionaries?
