Customer Reviews:
Incredibly Funny!.......2001-12-29
I've been reading Jim Unger for a few decades now, and his dark, wry humor may occasionally be equalled (such as the Farside by Gary Larson), but it has never been surpassed. This book is a treasure, as are all of the compilations of his work. Highly recommended!

A fascinating window into the everyday life of the past, it features 239 authentic images from the 1840s through 1900, in which women of every class model the fashions of the era.

save your time and money.......2007-03-08
The pictures in the book are not bad quality, but thoes produced by the cd-rom are grainy, scratchy and very poor quality. not worth the effort, much less the money. keep on looking, better are out there.
Will be of especial interest to costume designers and students of women's fashion........2007-03-04

Stunning graphics.......2004-10-16
This comes in a large "paper-doll' size book. The images from from 1836 to 1900, they are gorgeous full colour depictions of Worth gowns, riding habits, bathing suits, men, women and children. This image are HUGE, approximately 800x1500 pixels is average size, in TIF format, perfect for web designs or for use in more personal graphics just as a web page or "siggies".
There is a detailed description of each costume 110 to be exact, and all are open CD ROM, too, so no bother with scanning them. They are Permission free use, so there is no limit but you imagination and you talent.
Great for web designers, graphics mavens, and even more useful for historical writers. Worth every penny.

Great Cover Art!.......2007-10-01
And a couple of the stories collected here are ok, but the bulk here is mostly disappointing. Look elsewhere for your Avengers fix.

Customer Reviews:
A humorous view at typically boring subjects.......1999-02-18
If you want to get a good laugh at scientific studies on almost anything, read this book! Anyoone with a little intelligence will appreciate the thought that went into this book. I only wish there was a followup! Imagine scientific proof that you can lose weight by eating frozen food! The calories burned by the body just to heat up the food can offset the caloric content of the food itself! Guranteed weight loss. See how to plunge a room into darkness with a 'dark bulb', removing all light and enabling a person to sleep at any time of the day. Lots more!
Book Description
A proposal to save the Grand Canyon by filling it with styrofoam piffles. The role Jell-O played in the mass extinction of dinosaurs. Why men's beards trigger hysteria and antipathy in cats. JIR is definitely still at it, and from hypothesis to experiment to conclusion here are 150 startling new discoveries reported in the pages of The Best of the Journal of Irreproducible Results, the magazine for biologists, protozoologists, mathematicians, astrophysicists, clinical psychologists, and physiographers. Selection of the Library of Science Book Club.

Fractal Breakfast Cereal.......2003-12-01
While I guess that I like this book, I don't really think that it's up to the lofty standards of 'The Journal of Irreproducible Results' or the latter day 'Annals of Improbable Research'. In this volume there are several wonderful articles such as "Preserving the Grand Canyon: Final Report" in which the author proposes filling the Grand Canyon with Styrofoam peanuts of various types, and "A Decade of Burnt Food" by the founder and curator of the Museum of Burnt Food. Unfortunately, the real gems here are relatively few and far between, and occasion the articles get into heavy-handed political criticism, especially in the Ig Nobel Prizes section, which I found to be inappropriate, irrelevant to science generally, and a put off.
Fundamentally, "The Best of Annals of Improbable Research", with many of the same cast of characters is a by far funnier (and genuinely science driven) book than this one, so for my money, between the two, I would go for "The Best of Annals of Improbable Research" without hesitation. The primary difference between the two is a matter of degree: both show science at its most ludicrous, and both use bizarrely convoluted 'experiments' (actual or imagined) and brazen misinterpretations to make for amusing pseudo-scientific reading. "The Best of Annals of Improbable Research", though, is much more rigorously scientifically based, whereas most of "Sex as a Heap of Malfunctioning Rubble" is mostly simple fiction in scientific garb. Yes, it is still funny, but given the wealth of articles published over the years in 'The Journal of Irreproducible Results' it could have been much, much funnier. I would recommend a subscription to the 'Annals of Improbable Research' magazine or a copy of "The Best of Annals of Improbable Research" instead of this book. Normally I think both AIR and JIR are too short, and I can't get enough. With "Sex as a Heap of Malfunctioning Rubble", I just wanted to get the book over with.
JIR's been funnier.......2001-10-04
As an avid reader of the "Best of JIR" books for many years, I didn't find this volume nearly as roll-on-the-floor funny as previous volumes. However, there are some real gems in here.
Very funny, but only for the scientifically inclined..........2000-05-16
This book is largely a collection of silly experiments--likethe testing of bricks for infectious diseases, or the reactions ofcats to photographs of men with various styles of beards--written up in the style of a scientific research paper, complete with footnotes. Most of the material is written in a very dry, technical style, which is exactly what makes it so funny--_if_ you're a scientist, or if you've at least been exposed to scientific journals in the past. If you do not fall into this category, you'll be left wondering what could possibly be the least bit funny about this nonsense; so if you're buying this as a gift, choose your recipient very carefully.
If you're interested in this book, you should also have a good look at The Best of Annals of Irreproducible Research; it's a collection of the same sort of material, and I found it to be a bit funnier than this collection. Both are very worthwhile to the right audience.

Book Description
The author of Barbarella and other successful screenplays analyzes the basic structures of effective screenplays, from initial plot lines to realized scripts. All the essential building blocks are discussed in depth: the need for a strong premise; the roles of protagonist and antagonist; the orchestration of plot, characters and dialogue leading to a clear resolution. This book not only instructs first-time writers on how to go about their work but also serves as a valuable check-list for established authors, and for actors, directors and teachers, in their task of deconstructing and assessing the value of the material placed before them.

The best of its kind.......2001-06-17
I've read many other books on how to play snooker, yet none of them surpasses the quality of this one. Clive Everton is acclaimed to be the best journalist of the sport, and he undoubtedly lives up to his reputation. This book covers every aspect of the game, starting from its history, the equipments, the very basics, tips and practice routines, and even hints for match plays. The book is filled with helpful diagrams and numerous pictures of the world's top players. If you're searching for snooker books, this is the only one you'll ever need.
