5 out of 5 stars Finest humanities textbook I've seen.......2000-02-07

We used this textbook for a humanities survey course at my high school. My teacher said it was the finest he'd seen out of dozens, and after using it for his class, I have to agree. The art, maps, pictures, and everything help bring the past to life, and the text, while easy to read, says everything it needs to.

    I love this book! It gets at the heart of American values without being preachy. The ideas are very accessable to young kids. Our family is having a ball with this.

    5 out of 5 stars Big ideas for little kids!.......2004-05-13

    I've always wondered how to teach about the USA in a meaningful way to my first graders. Now I've got this outstanding guide. Activities are "cute" without being shallow. It's got history, geography, American symbols, principles and values. What a great resource!

                  You might have heard that in the 1950s' there were "Peanuts books". Simple paperbacks for 40 cents could get you a Peanuts book filled with laughs and sometimes you could be lucky enough to reserve the next book out. This particular book focuses on Snoopy, starting off with some relatively funny strips and others you might have seen in other Snoopy books. But old Snoop (as Peppermint Patty calls him) still reigns the dog world after the last page. I'm fortunate enough to say that every Peanuts book I got in the 1950s' (which totals over 40) I still have in good condition, and you never know- look through a box of yours and you might find the 40 cent paperback you used to cherish.

                            Book Description

                            The definitive book on animation, from the Academy Award-winning animator behind Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

                            Animation is one of the hottest areas of filmmaking today--and the master animator who bridges the old generation and the new is Richard Williams. During his more than forty years in the business, Williams has been one of the true innovators, winning three Academy Awards and serving as the link between Disney's golden age of animation by hand and the new computer animation exemplified by Toy Story.

                            Perhaps even more important, though, has been his dedication in passing along his knowledge to a new generation of animators so that they in turn could push the medium in new directions. In this book, based on his sold-out master classes in the United States and across Europe, Williams provides the underlying principles of animation that every animator--from beginner to expert, classic animator to computer animation whiz --needs. Urging his readers to "invent but be believable," he illustrates his points with hundreds of drawings, distilling the secrets of the masters into a working system in order to create a book that will become the standard work on all forms of animation for professionals, students, and fans.

                            5 out of 5 stars An excellent cookbook of practical tips for animation.......2007-09-26

                            I am experienced at drawing but a beginner with animation. This book is just what I needed,with lots of diagrams demonstrating the tricks required to achieve animation that looks and feels real. Tips vary from facial expressions to human and some animal movement in all its forms. Tips on timing of changes and position to achieve the appearance of weight when the figure lands or fluid movement when it jumps.

                            I would recommend this book to any one just starting out with animation and even to the experienced animator looking for improvements to techniques.

                            Libro obligatorio para todo el que se dedica a la animacion, ya sea 2d como 3d, siempre es necesario mantener contacto con las raices y los conceptos basicos de la animacion.

                            5 out of 5 stars The Animators Bible!.......2007-08-05

                            If any beginner animator wants to know how to start 2D animation then this book is a must! Richard doesn't use fancy big words to describe what to do in animation, no, he keeps the sentence short, sweet, and simple. There are many pictures with at least a short sentence to guide you through the movement of animation with keys and breakdowns! He also covers the importance of weight, arcs and many more! In his introduction he gives you a story of his personal experience as an animator with people that have taught him the values of animation which shows that you're getting advice from a person who went through many years of learning! Plus he has worked on really smooth animations like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and "Thief and the Cobbler"

                            4 out of 5 stars Going back to basics.......2007-08-01

                            Alot of people these days get caught up with computer animation without really understanding the basic concepts of movement and animation. This book goes through and describes how it all used to be done on paper, and includes lots of example diagrams and drawings. A great reference book for people wanting to learn how to animate.

                            5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book.......2007-07-27

                            I recomend this book to both types of animators 3d and 2d. I personally am a 3D guy and used this 2D book to create quality animations. Highly recomend for animators of all levels.

                            5 out of 5 stars Songs of Flanders and Swann.......2007-03-10

                            Through their musical revues and recordings, Flanders and Swann made these songs popular during the late 1950s and through the 1960s. The songs are inoffensive and gentle but very witty. Although some of the people mentioned may have passed into history, their satirical humour still hits home. A fan will be pleased with the extensive list of titles found here - all of my favorites were included. Swann did not write down what he played but the arrangements here are very playable and will please anyone who has heard their recordings or saw them perform on stage or on television. I don't see the paperback binding holding up too long with hard use at the keyboard so I plan to spiral bind mine.
                            I was thrilled to find the book back in print and available in the United States and I am very pleased to own it.

                            5 out of 5 stars The Songs of Michael Flanders and Donald Swann .......2007-01-10

                            Witty and entertaining in that delightfully gentle British style. Songs like the Hippopotamus and Gnu as well as An Ill Wind and Madiera still amuse people of all ages who hear them for the first time. A book for the lovers of clever humour.

                            5 out of 5 stars Gentle Musical Satire.......2002-04-01

                            Their last hat dropped in 1968 and 9 years passed before the words and music of Michael Flanders and Donald Swann were finally published. Donald had never written down the music and played the shows extemporaneously from the lyrics; Michael thought the songs "wouldn't sound like much anyhow" taken out of the show's context, so the collection wasn't completed until two years after his death. It went out of print in the mid 1980's and was finally re-released in 1996. Forty years after the premier of "At the Drop of A Hat", the best comic songs of the 20th century are back in print.

                            In his forward, Donald claims some music is written exactly as he played it ("Misalliance," "The Armadillo," "The Sloth," and "The Whale"); some had "adaptations to make them easier"; and some are made "as accessible as possible for the clever-but-casual pianist . . . enabling even a learner pianist to have a go." However, even when simplified, Donald's harmonies, progressions, and key changes are still fresh and new, and pianists of all skill levels will be delighted.

                            Flanders and Swann fans will doubtless turn directly to "The Hippopotamus." As a piano player, I'm only a duffer with no formal training, and I suspect "The Hippopotamus" is one of those "made as accessible as possible." I was able to get a performance-ready version of it in a couple of hours. "Ill Wind" was also simplified, so the most technically difficult in the collection are probably "Misalliance" and "The Armadillo," both in the key of e-major (four sharps). For this "clever-but-casual pianist," they will take quite a while.

                            There are 41 songs in the book. All the songs from the Hats are here except "Je Suis Les Tenebreux," "Satellite Moon," "A Happy Song," "Kokoraki," "Too Many Cookers," "The Youth of the Heart," "Sounding Brass," "In the Desert," "First and Second Law," "Horoscope," "Friendly Duet," and "Sea Fever." Also, most of the Bestiary is included except the "Seahorse," "The Chameleon," "Dead Ducks," "The Duck Billed Platypus," "the Humming Bird," and "The Portuguese Man o' War."

                            Most of the songs are in the flat keys, but a surprising number are in the sharp keys including "The Gas Man Cometh," "Bedstead Men," "Madeira, M'dear," "The Wompom," and "The Hippopotamus." All songs are in the major except "The Spider" in c-minor.

                            The binding of the book will not hold up to heavy use on the music desk - the sheets will separate.

                            My kids loved reading & singing along with me. The whole story is also a song, the chorus going, 'Mud, mud, glorious mud. Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood, so follow me follow, down to the hollow, & there we will wallow in glorious mud.' Very funny!

                                        As editor of Boxoffice magazine, Ray Greene had access to all of showbiz's top names-actors, directors, and industry executives. Here he presents his take on everything from celebrity culture and movie trends to the darker side of the film business and its politics. Many of these collected essays originally appeared in Greene's Village View column, and they cover business developments and industry scandals, major cinematic works and mass-market ephemera, the rise of independent cinema, and the cult of stardom. This is an eyewitness account of how the film industry has changed over the last decade of the century.

                                        This autobiography covers a decade in the life of Boxoffice Magazine: a period during which Greene had access to the top names of Hollywood, from actors to executives. 1990s Hollywood history is revealed from an insider's viewpoint, providing articles of both personal reflections and encounters with industry leaders.

                                        5 out of 5 stars A good one for contemporary film fans.......2001-10-22

                                        I was surprised by this book, which I bought on a trip from Europe to the USA and read on the plane, and afterward. I was looking for something to read that wouldn't be too taxing. The dust cover copy made me think I was buying a book about celebrities, but there's actually a lot more going on here than that. The majority of the content is a thoughtful grouping of essays about the business and aesthetics of Hollywood in the 1990s - what the movies claimed to be about, what they were actually about, and how they shaped their arguments in such a way as to reflect, sometimes unintentionally, the tenor of the times. The writer has made me think differently about what I assumed to be a trivial era of moviemaking, and see the period with new eyes. And the book, while long, is easy to read, at times quite humorous, at times rather surprisingly serious.

                                        I would recommend that anyone purchasing this book use the glossaries as a way of organizing their reading. Although this book is arranged in sections, each individual chapter within a given section is complete within itself, and can therefore be read in whatever sequence the reader chooses based on his or her interests. I reread some essays, skipped a few entirely. By and large, I found "Hollywood Migraine" quite instructive, even though I consider myself already knowlegeable as a film fan.
