cool.......2000-04-04
its very interesting to flip through and the pictures are all so incredible. It shows the difference between how advertising then differs from ads now. However, i have seen better, therefore the 3 stars. But buy this book if you have time because it is interesting.

Book Description
"Today in the valley of total corporate control there exists a people's life-line. It is comprised of people who are resisting everything about the corporate elite, from its ambiance and aerosol to its broadcast hype. And they are resisting not by dropping out but by joining up."
"This book is about theatre for the 98%.
Call it our theatre.
Call it the other theatre.
Call it political theatre.
Call it poor theatre.
Call it democratic theatre.
Call it downtown theatre.
Call it makin' do.
Whatever you call it, it is people's theatre."

Book Description
How could it get any worse?
For the latest book in the phenomenally successful Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series, the authors have pulled out all the stops, harkening back to the core appeal that made the first book a runaway bestseller. Here are all new scenarios for living life on the very edge. Imperiled readers will learn immediate, hands-on strategies for surviving an elephant stampede, a 16-car pile-up, a mine collapse, and a nuclear attack. Discover how to take a bullet, control a runaway hot air balloon, break a gorilla's grip, endure a Turkish prison, and free a limb from a beartrap. Whether stranded on an iceberg, being chased by a pack of wolves, spinning out on a motorcycle, or being buried alive, The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Extreme Edition has all the right stuff for those times when everything goes wrong.
Customer Reviews:
No Luck If You Happen to Be in Prison.......2007-02-18
I had this book sent to a guy I've been seeing. He's in prison. He asked me to send him other books on spiritual enlightenment and how to unleash the brain's potential, but I decided on my own that what he could really use at a time like this was a copy of "The Worse-Case Scenario Survival Handbok: Extreme Edition." The instruction on how to gut a squirrel will probably not be of much use to him since there aren't any trees nearby, but the tip on what to do if choking on lint seemed pretty useful. He wrote back to me saying, "but I look and re-check for what to do when I'm stuck behind concrete and barbed wire and my [girl] is outside, any ideas?" I was hoping he'd make it back to me sooner than as scheduled. That is the only reason I gave this book 4 instead of 5 stars. Maybe they should come up with a Prison edition.
Worth it if only to laugh at some of the scenarios.......2006-09-17
The book is extremely entertaining and it might save your life, too. It covers scenarios James Bond would aspire to.
"How to endure a Turkish prison"
"How to survive an elephant stampede"
"How to survive a nuclear attack"
"How to take a bullet"
"How to control a runaway hot air balloon"
"How to break a gorilla's grip"
Plus other scenarios that are more practical and more likely for one to encounter.
"How to free a limb from a beartrap"
"How to survive on an iceberg"
"How to survivean attack by a pack of wolves"
"How to recover a motorcycle spinning out of control"
"How to survive a 16-car pile-up"
"How to survive a mine collapse"
Bottom line, there is some practical advice here for emergencies, but it is the entertainment, laugh-out-loud factor that makes it worth it.
Very handy.......2006-03-12
Nice book wich completes the collection with useful tips among some
a bit weird ( vampires)
Hilarious! Don't leave home without it!.......2006-02-02
Ever imagined yourself in an elephant stampede? In a runaway baloon? Buried alive? Gripped by a gorilla? Stuck in a bear trap? Ever dreamed of being a hero(in) rescuing everybody in a helicopter that the pilots left?
If you have this book, then you have solutions to all these situations: You will be able to control the baloon, control the helicopter and land it, survive from a pack of volves, deal with a quadruple blowout, how to survive a nuclear fallout etc.
Remember the scenes from the movies that our hero(in) has to survive some kind of "tricky" situation (his/her food poisoned let's say)? And remember yourself thinking about what would you do if you were him? That's right: This book is absolutely for you!
Most probably you will never use the tactics you have read in this book. But believe me, it's a really interesting, fascinating, funny book that you'll finish in less than an hour.
The price tag is nice also. It's amazing, affordable, fascinating, a good time-passer. What would you want more?
Book Description
Through the examination of a range of literary and cinematic texts, from William Wyler's classic The Best Years of Our Lives to the novels of Henry James, Silverman offers a bold new look at masculinities which deviate from the social norm.
Book Description
Enriched by examples from actual teaching experience,
Teaching for Musical Understanding is an exciting new look at the practice of teaching music. Drawing on current learning theory, the text shows teachers how to step out of the center of the music classroom - to guide, instead of direct, students to develop their own appreciation and understanding of music.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent! Very accessible and appropriate for beginners as well as veterans.......2007-08-18
Dr. Wiggins has carefully formulated a guide to constructivist musical instruction that is accessible to all in the education field. The book is clear and specific, offering many example lessons and modeled approaches for classrooms. While the book is aimed primarily at elementary school educators, there are serious implications for music education at all levels. Do not miss out on the companion CD, an essential piece when using the sample lessons in the classroom.
Teaching for Musical Understanding is Core.......2005-07-09
While I have not had the honor of meeting Jackie Wiggins, I am never the less very impressed with this book. I especially found the first four chapters helpful. This textbook was referred to frequently during my recent Curriculum Planning class taught by Northwestern graduate, Dr. Michelle Kaschub.
Yes, this is it........2001-07-13
I have studied with the one and only Dr. Jackie Wiggins and still have more to learn from her. She has helped me realize how much I will love to teach music. This book will surely help me through many a curricular dilema. How do I do this and still accomplish that? Yes it is possible!
If you teach music or plan to teach music in the future, do yourself a favor and buy this book. It will certainly help anybody, from the experienced teacher to the undergrad student waiting nervously to teach an entire class for the first time (like me).
