Book Description
This insightful book is the first to present a comprehensive survey of the Modernist movement as it emerged in America between 1920 and 1960 in various graphic media. It identifies and examines great works in advertising, information design, identity, magazine design, print, dimensional design, and posters that by mid-century had defined American graphic design. R. Roger Remington begins by discussing the emergence of Modernism and its major historical influences, including European avant-garde art movements, technology, geopolitical issues, popular culture, educational innovations such as the Bauhaus, architecture, industrial design, and photography. The heart of the book brings together the key works of mid-century Modernism, presenting them chronologically from the 1930s to the 1950s. The final section shows the impact of and reactions to these Modernist influences as graphic design in America matured into the 1960s and beyond. Handsomely designed and illustrated, American Modernism is destined to become a classic text in the study of design and visual culture.

Good book.......2000-04-16
this is very practicle giving advice on both sides of the fence.
Amazon.com
The increasing girth of Kirstie Alley's rear end has figured prominently (pun intended) on many a tabloid cover in recent years. At the peak of her career ("Cheers"), of course, her butt was indeed at its smallest. It's no surprise that she therefore sums up her life philosophy this way: one's level of happiness tends to be inversely proportional to the size of one's posterior.
With extremely salty language on par with what you might hear in a 50 Cent song, Alley has penned a self-deprecating Hollywood tell-all in the disguise of "note-to-self"-style diary entries. With many apologies to Bridget Jones, we learn that Alley is a former cocaine addict who once participated in the snorting of a six-foot-long trail of powder at a party. (She's says she's currently a Scientologist and credits L. Ron Hubbard with curing her of her narcotic addiction, as well as her issues with food.) We also learn--for better or worse--that she has the hots for John Travolta, Kid Rock, and Ben Affleck, and that she blames her weight gain for a super-extended period of unplanned celibacy.
As crass as she is (she kisses and tells, even including the sordid details of her losing her virginity in the front seat of a Chevy Impala), it's hard not to feel sympathetic for Alley. She admits that following a miscarriage in her third month of pregnancy and subsequent diagnosis of infertility—which were also broadcast in the tabloids--her weight started ballooning. And as much as she dishes about Hollywood actors such as Tim Matheson (of Animal House fame), she has the decency to leave Parker Stevenson, her ex-husband and father of their two adopted children, out of the gossiping. Even so, overall, this feels like a strangely extended endorsement of Dianetics. --Erica Jorgensen
Book Description
If anyone in Hollywood knows about weight obsession, it's Kirstie Alley. After she rose to fame on Cheers as the svelte and gorgeous Rebecca Howe, she watched as the tabloids mercilessly charted her fluctuating weight. Well, look out, Hollywood, because this beloved star is ready to strike back-with a starring role in a new, unscripted com-edy series on Showtime called Fat Actress. She plays a fictionalized version of herself as she searches for work and love in the land of glitter and glamour. The show, which prompted a huge media buzz when Showtime announced plans for it, premieres just as this witty and wry new book hits bookstores across the nation.

The real Kirstie.......2007-08-31
"What you see is what you get" with Kirstie Alley! This quick-read will make you laugh and realize that, celebrity or not, we all face the same dilemmas. I very much appreciated Kirstie's candor - she is real, down-to-earth gal!
good reading if you like Kirstie.......2007-08-23
Cute, just as Kirstie. There is no diet information in this book. Just Kirstie accepting her size. It was good and I enjoyed it. I think acceptance is what this book is about.
A funny little book with a misleading title.......2007-02-04
Kirstie Alley's How to Lose Your Butt and Regain Your Life is in no way shape or form a diet book. It's not really a story about how Kirstie regained her life, unless you count her thinly-veiled stories of how Scientology changed her life as inspirational. No, it's more a joke book, a humorous piece of nonfiction, a collection of stories from her past complete with photographs. And it's funny. Hilarious, occasionally, and her self-deprecating humor and ability to acknowledge her fall from grace is interesting to read.
Written in the form of a diary followed by a story from the past, Kirstie tells her readers about everything from her numerous failed diet attempts (the Master Cleanse, the grapefruit and boiled egg diet, strange herbal laxatives that once made her poop her pants), the boys who taunted her during her childhood and her hopes that they eventually got what they deserved, and how her children kept her grounded even as she read about her escalating weight in the tabloids.
Her story is every woman's story who has ever struggled with her weight, because for the most part she makes no reference to her years as a famous actress. We hear about her going to auditions and the fact that she might be on set during a particular entry, but as a whole it's more about her life, her feelings, and her struggles. The fact that she can laugh at herself and be so down-to-earth is one of the best parts of this story.
So despite the misnomer that is the title, HTLYARYL is a funny little book that will make you feel a little bit better when your favorite jeans get too tight. After all, at least no one's printing a picture of you in the tabloids claiming you weigh 300 pounds.
Funny but too short.......2007-01-14
Kirstie gives up snippets from her life that are totally funny. However she skips a lot. Was she ever married, why did they divorce? Is her son really named True or is that a nickname? You can't give us all these intimidate details about your sex life and popping in your car then leave out important events in your life. She doesn't tell the story in chronological order so it wasn't even clear she had kids until the very end of the book.
While I enjoyed the book and thought Kirstie to be someone fun to hang out with, I lost respect for her when she talked about Scientology. I felt like her little mentions of this Scientology event she went to or that was like advertising. Why do we need to know you had an awakening at one unless it's subtle advertising? I guess that's why she's such close friends with John Travolta. Still I thought her smarter than that to join a cult.
Misleading title & disappointing read.......2006-08-15
I was very disappointed with this book. Perhaps it was because I hoped Kirstie would discuss her Jenny Craig experience more, give some insight into her personal struggle and provide tips for struggling with significant weight loss based on her experiences. Instead, she jumped from topic to topic, focused more on her drug addiction history and sex life and barely skimmed the surface of the weight issue. Although her wonderful wit was apparent throughout, the book was poorly written and difficult to follow. If you're looking only for Kirstie's unique type of humor, you may really enjoy it. However, if you're more interested in finding some self-help tips or empathy for the struggles of the obese, forget it because you won't find anything in this one.
Customer Reviews:
The not so fashinable side of this book.......2005-11-24
This book has some lovely, classy and well organised pictures, plus a fair comment. However, half the book comments the worst side of Oscar fashion and the dresses that were admired so much at their time are often left aside. Personally I would have liked to see more glamour rather than more trash.
Hardly complete, and not much fun.......2004-07-20
This poorly-written, poorly-edited, poorly-designed book doesn't serve its subject matter very well. The photos did not reproduce well (not even the recent photos!) and some of the design choices (like the circles that highlight details on the various gowns) have no value from an editorial or visual standpoint.
There are many years that are represented by only three or four gowns -- even recent years! Surely there have been more standouts than that? I expected this book to be a feast for the eyes, an endless parade of gowns ranging from elegant to outrageous, but the pickings are indeed slim.
I thought there were some grievous omissions, but I couldn't put my finger on what, or whom. Geena Davis now comes to mind -- love her or hate her, there's no denying the fact that the statuesque form of this six-footer is hard to ignore. Why isn't she represented anywhere? Why not more about men's fashion? Why not more profiles of designers, a closer look at Oscar-night jewelry and how it's loaned out, even a spread or two of how one actress's Oscar fashions progressed throughout the years? The scope of this book isn't terribly imaginative or (as the title proclaims) complete.
The writing is awful. This isn't really the sort of book you pick up for the writing anyway but, seeing as how the pictures weren't even that good, I ended up reading the little blurbs of writing and found them full of clunky, poor word choices and bad jokes.
Speaking of bad jokes, yes, we all know Cher can be wacky. We've all seen her black zigzag outfit with the crazy rooster headdress a million times already. Is there any reason for no fewer than THREE photos of this godforsaken getup to appear in this book? Especially since the author repeatedly expresses a dislike of it? Making fun of Cher's sequinned rooster outfit is nothing new; it's been done to death, and by funnier, more articulate people than this author. We didn't need more of it in this book.
Just show us more pictures of beautiful gowns!
Disappointing treatment of a great subject !!!.......2004-03-07
I bought this book for my wife who has been an Oscar fan for 50 years or more. She found the book to be poorly written, poorly edited and it seemed to have a hangup on hippie type dresses. Her remark about the photos was "there certainly must be a lot of glamourous type photos that could have been used".
JUST LOOK WHAT SHE HAS ON!.......2004-01-22
Few can resist the glitz, glitter and suspense of Oscar night. Who would want to as where else is such a concentration of beauty and fashion to be found? While, of course, the actual award presentations are the crux of the evening that stroll down the famous Red Carpet has become a must-see for many.
Now, for the first time in this eye-popping volume is a collection of the silver screen's beauties over the past 75 years. All are captured in brilliant full-color photographs (500 of them). Many of the gowns chosen brought oohs and aahs - a few brought "What in the world is she wearing?"
Not only do readers find a parade of Oscar dresses but they're also given insider information re fashion and style analysis. What fun it is to see Katharine Hepburn in the casual duds she wore for her 1974 appearance and surely no one can forget Bjork's "swan dress" just two years ago. Cher, of course, is one of a kind in her Bob Mackie dresses.
While styles may change we find that elegance doesn't as witnessed by Mary Pickford in her exquisite 1930 gown. Lithe and lovely as ever there's Audrey Hepburn in a lovely Givenchy that emphasizes her tiny waist, and, of course, La Taylor stuns in a red Halston strapless. Halle Berry took top honors in the fashion category last year, and Grace Kelly looks royal and elegant in a silk gown designed by Edith Head.
There are lot of memories in "Oscar Fashion" plus much to be learned and enjoyed.
- Gail Cooke
Great book!.......2003-12-11
Author Reeve Chace has captured the facts and fun of Oscar fashion in this entertaining and beautiful book; even the cover is velvet! I loved it.

Pictures Are Pritty.......2006-03-17
Idid a book report on this in school. Mrs Farris, my homeroom teecher, said I was smart and she liked the book too. She asked me which pictures I liked best. I said the Wizard of Oz pictures were my most favorite. Mrs. Farris hugged me. I got a gold star. Have you read this book? I think maybe I will be an actor too.
FROM THE REAL EDITORS.......2006-03-11
It is unfortunate that the screening process for book reviews on the amazon.com site is so lax and, apparently, completely unmoderated.
Our Book, "The Academy Awards: The Complete History of Oscar" is a legitimate work put together by respectable authors and journalists - including a Pulitzer Prize winner (Kinn - for journalism 1982) and MacArthur Fellow (Piazza 1990). If there happens to be one or two small factual errors, we apologize. All will be corrected in a new updated edition, celebrating 78 years of OSCAR magic, to be published on June 1, 2006.
Although it may be humorous for fringe element type persons to write ridiculous reviews of our book here on this public site, we would like to remind you that we, like any other business, value the worth and integrity of our product above all else. Seven different fact checkers reviewed the galleys of this book and as far as we can tell (yes, we checked into ALL of the mistakes listed on this site) only 3 factual errors made it through to publication. I repeat, Three. And again, all have been corrected for the new edition.
Again, we ask the public at large (with a finger pointed at a few notable pranksters) to stop writing fake, false, comic and libelous reviews of our book on this site. We have spoken with the people at AMAZON several times and while no legal action is pending, they are considering taking down a number of these reviews which are clearly meant as parody.
We invite you to enjoy our book free from the ridiculous accusations that have been made against our writers and our product. "The Academy Awards: The Complete History of Oscar" was awarded the Tremond Award in 2004 for excellence in Korean Primaturship and Entertainment Reporting.
I myself personally oversaw the publication of this book during the months of 06/2003 through 08/2003. Many, many nights I stayed late at the office going over proofboards and watching the presses roll. And this unflagging dedication did not come at no price. It is not worth mentioning that I have eleven sick daughters at home. Or that my wife was federally mandated to have her face excised and mutually expressed to the outer limits of Mommy Cat Planet 8 before her 11th tri-mester.
If I can just send one word of caution to you the people of earth, passed down to me by the giant slithering cosmos OverSnake who rules all (and who is inching ever closer to this miserable green marble ready to strike and destroy) it would be this:
The virus we have sent to earth to infect and destory your personages begins first as an inability to comprehend simple facts printed in large, printed compendiums of entertainment related information. Next is a faint itching inside the brain, followed by a complete collapse, bleed-out, re-absorption of minerals into the earth - and then a long period of scant to no sexual activity.
You stupid earthlings have no idea what is coming. Read your little Oscar books while you can. Soon you shall all be reduced to ash, silt and a sticky substance similar to that of guacamole produced by the nether regions of an incarcerated and fatally gaseous baboon.
I break with thee! I BREAK WITH THEE!
Great book, but Let's Have a New Edition!!.......2006-03-10
My gosh, this book seems to have sparked a lot of responses, both pro and con!!! Me, I'm a book lover -- and a movie lover!! So I loved it, this book about movies! I won't weigh in on all the things people said below, but I will say that when my kids get all worked up and yell at each other, I just smile and say, "Hey fellas, take a chill pill!" (And to that Marguerite Duras lady, I'd just say, "Honey, get back on the meds!!") But back to the book: I loved it. Love love loved it. Great pictures, great words. All I want to say is, let's have a new edition! There have been so many good movies since this book came out, and it's a shame not to see them here -- a few of my recent faves include "The Passion of the Christ," "The Gospel," "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," and most recently "Crash." "Crash" is super serious and intense but is one of the best movies ever made. If you are white, you should see it with a black person, and then talk. These are films that make me think and feel, films that make me feel closer to God and to my fellow man, films that me sit up and say, "Gosh darn it, films are great!" Sorry to be so excited, but that's just how I feel!!!! (I also like movies that aren't so spiritual too, especially horror and fantasy -- have you seen M. Night Shamalamam's "The Village"? Super spooky. I also like anything with Chevy Chase --fun-knee!!)
R.I.P. Grandma..........2006-03-08
Yes, hello, I must be truthful and tell each and every one of you the one or two things I know about life, love and this book. My name is Marguerite Dumas (not that one) and I am a simple woman living on the plains of Ohio. For many moons I have been tending to my grandmother, Emmeline DuFray, as she lay worsening in her sick bed. Time dragged on... One day, Nana said to me "Darling, wouldn't it be fun if I could read again? If we could sit together here by this fire you have built - or maybe it's my chronic hot-leg again, fooling me into thinking that my feet are warm - if we could sit and I could read to you about days gone by? If say, there existed some sort of published and sanctioned tome which would illustrate life as it used to be? Showing and Telling us about people, life and awards given out to illustrious heroes of screen? Well, little did Nana know that I had recently joined up with a local book-cart-peddling-travelling-librarian and that she was due to arrive today with a whole slew of books for me and my precious Nana to pour over. Of course, then the rains came and it was a good 2.4 years before anyone or any books found their way to our door. But finally, on clear spring day i saw the book cart on the horizon and I ran to Nana, I ran i tell you, and I shook her out of her diabetes induced coma with my two strong hands. And she awoke with a start and asked in a voice so frail only the mice could hear it: "Oscar... book... today?" "YES!" i shrieked so loud that some of the mice exploded with joy! Moments later the book-peddler-hussy was at our door and I welcomed her with all my arms and love into the small home we call our house. She had with her this fine big black book which was known in all the counties as THE oscar book. She left (taking with her a simple sandwich of moss and greens) and I sat down by the (actual) fire to read to my Nana. And let me tell you - at first it was glorious. Her blinded eyes shone and her hair glistened and her face was alive - ALIVE i tell you - for the first time in years. I read and read and read - and then I read some more. But... somewhere along the way I noticed that Nana was not responding in the same way. Somewhere along the way i noticed bits of spittle at the corners of her mouth. What could it be I wondered? Why the tremor? I read on - lingering over sidebars chock full of old hollywood chit-chatty details. But Nana was heaving now. Slowly but surely bringing up the lunch I had made. And then Christmas dinner. And then bits of her stomach lining. Well, I was frightened but at this point i just had to know who had won Best Actress 1956. Soon, it was morning again and Nana was reduced to a heap on the floor, shrieking and scrambling like some sort of large, fleshy half-paralyzed crab. Oh, I tried to help her - but somehow the book became more important to me in those moments. Somehow that book became my grandmother. I know that sounds strange. But something inside of me turned that day. And as i lay Nana's corpse into the river and watched it float away - i knew that from that day forward, I would be living inside this book - THIS BOOK - THIS VERY BOOK - and that I would need no other. No man, no woman, no food. Just this book - and all that it has to offer.
This Book Saved My Life.......2005-12-09
A personal tale: I was looking in a shop window, and not at the traffic in the street, when I was hit by a 1999 Jeep Cherokee that swerved up onto the sidewalk two Christmases ago. Drunk driver, egg nog. I spent the next ten months in bed, much of it in extreme pain, some of it near death. Though it saddens me to admit it, yes, I despaired, I was not plucky. I longed for the sweet oblivion the nurse would slip me in my IV and nothing else interested me at all. So I was hardly receptive when my Aunt Esther came to visit one day, and brought me this massive book on the history of the Oscars. In fact, I was furious -- I was in complete traction, metal pins in my arms, how was I supposed to pick up this weighty slab of a book to read it? Aunt Esther had a sick sense of humor, I thought to myself, although deep down I knew, she was just an inveterate cheerer-upper. Then, one evening, Nurse Rafferty saw the book on my bedside table and began to leaf through it. In the dim light of my hospital room, I watched her face light up with joy as she looked at the pictures. I didn't know what she was looking at, and frankly, I didn't care. All I cared about was the light in her eyes, the way she brushed her bangs out of her face, and the way she bit her lips and began to hum a show tune somewhere around the middle of the book. I was, dear reader, in love. Nurse Rafferty then told me the tale of her childhood, growing up dirt poor in an abusive foster home. The one bright spot for her, the one thing that kept her alive, was the glamour of Hollywood, the dream of Tinseltown. She fled her awful home and made it to Los Angeles. She learned to dance, she did a commerical or two, she stripped for a living, and eventually she became a nurse--my nurse. Even though her dreams of Hollywood greatness died, she wasn't bitter, and the pictures still brought a smile to her face. Now, I have read the reviews of this book here--the carping, petty, small minded little hobgobblins who worry about whether or when Clark Gable won an Oscar, or about what role Chita Rivera played, or who Madonna was influenced by. I picture the tiny, pathetic little worlds these people inhabit and I sigh. Looking for accuracy in a book dedicated to America's great Dream Factory?! I suppose I could get angry at their pedantry, or I could get sad for them -- but no. I am too busy loving Nurse Rafferty--my wife now, for these last two years. Though my arms are crippled and my gait is poor, though my left eye is gone and no one would ever mistake me for Clark Gable, I am a happy, happy man. The movies saved Nurse Rafferty, and she saved me. Dear reader, should you chance to pick this book up in some remainder bin at your local bookseller, think of us, Nurse Rafferty and I, and see if you don't find yourself humming a show tune, too.

if you play Chopin then this book is a must.......1997-11-04
The most concise and definitive work of this type for the Chopin pianist. Each chapter, written by a different author, is a gem, and as a whole the book describes nearly all of Chopin's works in detail. It is very logically organized and musically delighful! Examples abound, references both to and from other composers works are enlightening and with very few exceptions, the authors are quite objective in their discussions of Chopin's music. Whenever I decide to record or play a Chopin piece, I still first read the commentary in this book which relates to the piece. The book contains several databases of Chopin's works, one chronological and one by type of piece. The chapter covering Chopin's songs is worth the price of the entire book. If you play Chopin, then this book is required reading. If you do not play Chopin then you will after reading the book. And you can't have my copy, which I purchased in 1973 and which I still use every day.

Financial decisions made easier.......2007-07-12
This book helped me to decide how to invest my retirement funds, and it is written simply and with definite recommendations. That was a great help and made my job of investing so much easier. I sent a copy to my daughter because I found it to be so helpful.
Finance.......2007-05-24
Great overview - wish I had read this when I was younger! Now I am going to
give it to both my children.
Excellent book...arrived in excellent condition.......2007-05-14
I originally borrowed this book from the library but after reading through it, I knew it was a title I wanted to own. As the title suggests, the book provides simple financial strategies, but they are by no means dumbed down or oversimplified. The author (Jane Bryant Quinn) stresses the importance of automating not only investing, but short-term saving and debt reduction as well.
I saved on this item by ordering one that contained a publisher's mark but was in otherwise new condition. The book arrived in exactly the same condition as was described. This turned out to be an inexpensive way to add this title to my personal library.
Financial Direction.......2007-05-10
This is a must-read for the person who is looking for some commonsense advice on managing their finances. Jane is straight to the point, and gives some great recommendations for investing
Excellent source for demystifying the investment world.......2007-03-31
Written in a friendly, no nonsense tone, Smart and Simple Financial Strategies for Busy People is an excellent resource for people who are trying to look ahead in their financial planning. Quinn covers a variety of investment options(mutual funds, indexed funds, CD's, stocks, etc) explaining the values and disadvantages of each. She makes recommendations and provides examples for a good investment portfolio for a variety of specific life circumstances.
I found her information on pre-paid college tuition fascinating(I'd never heard of such a thing!) and her descriptions of differnt IRA's immediately pertainent.
Let's face it, if you are considering this book, you are looking for the right way to invest your money and secure your financial future. This book provides the specifics for how much you need to invest and where in order to reach your desired retirement income. It provides the tools to do the calculations for your own circumstances, and addresses the life changes that could affect your planning.
Most importantly, this book delivers on simple strategies. You don't need to be Warren Buffet to implement these techniques. Once you open your accounts, this is something that can be managed once a month or once a year and can be done online in minutes. Electronic maintenance makes management so easy you'll wonder why you didn't start earlier. More importantly, your future self will thank you.
I highly recommend this book for people in the early stages of financial planning. I've purchased this book as gifts for family members and friends because it is such a good resource. My SO and I used this book as leap stone for financial discussions. Most importantly, I've used the techniques myself, to start my own retirement portfolio, savings account for home purchase, and a college fund for my unborn children.
