Swaab's b&w cartoons play up the outlandish circumstances as Sheinkin has Lincoln facing off against a professional wrestler before recognizing that he needs to return to his rightful historical role (an afterword reveals the ways in which Sheinkin used real-life details about Lincoln, including his tendency to crack jokes). You can read about us sitting in chairs, staring at the wall. After they follow Lincoln back in time, he informs them that he and other famous figures are sick of being called dull: "Since you insist on saying our lives are boring, well then we'll show you. When stepsiblings Doc and Abby express their distaste for learning about history, Lincoln himself emerges from a cardboard box portal to give them an earful. Sheinkin ( Undefeated) kicks off the Time Twisters series with two titles, including this lively Abraham Lincoln-themed romp.

Listed below are some of the topics we think should be covered, but we welcome proposals on any aspect of professional wrestling: It is intended that The Pro-Wrestling Book will draw upon a range of different approaches, including media studies, cultural studies, film and television studies, sports studies, sociology and gender studies. The sexual and racial politics of wrestling will be debated and also the ways in which pro-wrestling has been received and evaluated by audiences and critics. It will also discuss the aesthetics of different forms as well as the relationship between pro-wrestling and media (especially television). Accordingly, the book will consider the historical development of wrestling and the role it has played in different cultures. The book proposes to deal with wrestling in broad terms, inevitably exploring the powerful WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) organisation, but also looking at other styles and traditions. The book's starting point is that wrestling, notwithstanding its 'low' cultural status, is an important topic for analysis both for its intrinsic qualities and for what it tells us about culture and entertainment. The editors of The Pro-Wrestling Book are seeking essays on all aspects of rofessional Wrestling. NOTE: Look at fandome section for a library connection. ![]()
