Product Description
Volume #6 in the Korean Culture Series. The history of making and using knots in Korea dates back to prehistoric times, when people first began farming and forming settlements. In the aftermath of devastating social turmoil in the first half of the 20th century, maedeup was quickly becoming a dying art. Kim, Hee-jin embarked on a quest to learn the techniques of creating traditional maedeup, and dahoe, or knots and cords, from the last surviving artisans of the craft. After studying the various techniques with the masters, Kim organized and developed them into the art of Korean traditional ornamental knot-making, known as maedeup.

Enjoyable! .......2007-01-09
Although this book is written for adults, we purchased this book for our 7 year old son who is currently researching comics, their origins, and authors. It has been a constant companion...traveling with us everywhere! I have had the opportunity to read portions also and I too have found very well written, interesting and informative. The comics choosen have given our family quite few chuckles! Great for anyone who enjoys comics and wants to know more about comics through the years.
The artwork and history of over fifty comic geniuses.......2006-07-03
This gigantic collection of comics describes the strips that appeared in newspapers rather than on newsstands. There is a small amount of natural crossover, but the author is focused exclusively on what appeared in newspapers. For most of the main strips, he gives a brief historical recapitulation of the spirit of the times as well as a short biography of the people who created the strip. For the strips that have continued across generations of cartoonists, he explains when the transition took place and why.
As can be expected, the best part of the book is the cartoons. Walker gives a small but thorough sample of the flavor of the strip and how it changed over the years. There were some that I remember so well from my youth, in particular "Mandrake the Magician." When I was young, I always got up very early and opened the Sunday morning paper to read the cartoons. I always read them in the order from my least to most favorite. This meant that I shifted back and forth, but that was fine to me.
Even though I am now and will always remain a news junkie, the comics will always be my favorite part of the paper. They give us adventure, excitement and something to look forward to, and in this book you can learn a great deal about the people who made and continue to make them happen.
Down the Memory Lane of Comics..........2005-04-28
Hey,where to start in writing a review on a book about Comics, when one has been reading them for over 60 years.An excellent book in every way.Physically,this book is beautifully constructed,with top of the line paper,printing and color illustrations.A great dust jacket, as well as glossy hard covers printed with comic strips.A large volume 10X14 inches,over an inch thick and 326 pages...WOW! By the way ,there is a companion book,which is just as good,covering Comics before 1945;same size and by the same author.
What great memories this book brought back.I was born in 1935 and was an avid Comic Strip reader of 10 where this book starts.
While there are many strips covered in this book that are unfamiliar to me,and probably to most people;all my favourites are there.All through the years,in my opinion the Strips and writers were at their best in the 40's and 50's.But then that was when they were really growing up and so was I.
My favourites were Dick Tracy,Little Orphan Annie,Li'l Abner,Smilin' Jack,Popeye,Beetle Baily,Joe Palooka,Blondie,Tarzan,Captain Easy,Mandrake the Magician,Mutt and Jeff ,Smokey Stover,Henry,Superman,Terry and the Pirates,Pogo and later Doonesbury.
Dick Tracy was my overall favourite,especially in its prime with super characters such as Flattop,Mumbles,The Mole,Brow, B.O.Plenty,Gravel Gertie and little Pebbles,Pruneface,etc.,etc.
Then there was Li'l Abner with Daisy Mae and Ma and Pa Yokum.The nation wide craze set off by those wonderful Shmoos and then the creation of Sadie Hawkins Day antics that swept the schools and colleges.Nothing like that kind of stuff today!
I guess all this fun was just too much for the prudes of political correctness, and their misguided efforts put the end to it all.
At the height of the Comic Strip days,everyone was aware of the 'funnies'and knew all the characters.If you didn't know who Dagwood or Annie's dog Sandy,or Fearless Fosdick was;you just didn't know what was happening.There is nothing like it today.I found the papers kept dropping reader favourites,cutting back on the number of strips,introducing strips with agendas and social engineering,to the point many readers lost interest and abandoned them.
As a matter of fact ,I was really following only Pogo and Doonesbury for the last few years and sadly we have even lost Pogo.Dick Tracy is not even carried by out largest paper in Toronto.I just read the Tracy strips on the Net for 2005.Fletcher and Collins give it a good try,but the storylines and artwork fall way short of the master, Chester Gould.Not only that,punching the keyboard and reading the screen is a poor subsitute for sitting back with the funny papers enjoying a coffee after breakfast or dinner;again in my opinion.
This book also covers a lot of what I call cartoons,and does a great job of it,but cartoons just aren't what the world of Comic Strips was all about.
Walker has also included a huge list of references if one wants to dig further.
This book should not be thought of as a review of any particular strip.It is really a history of Comics,a reference to use if one wants a quick look-see of what a strip looked like and a little about the artists who drew the strips.It also tells a lot about what went on behind the scenes with the artists,newspapers and syndicates over the years.
It also talks about Comics as an artform.Here I agree,one only has to look at how the artwork progressed in a strip like Dick Tracy and more recently Doonesbury,to see the advancement from very simple sketches to excellent art of colors, silhouette,perspective and all, to appreciate it.
After reading the book, I hope one day to visit the International Museum of Cartoon Art;although I continue to think of the Comic Strips as one thing and Cartoons as something completely different.
A great gift for a friend or yourself if you were a follower of the "strips".
Cornucopia of Comics.......2005-01-25
Blondie, Archie, Nancy, Pogo, Beetle Bailey to Peanuts, Garfield, Mutts and Calvin and Hobbes, here's a lavish, full-color, oversized, hardback, coffee table book celebrating the best part of the newspaper. Comics curator Brian Walker, son of Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey, Hi and Lois), collects the best examples of this much-loved medium over the last half century. Now that the companion volume, The Comics Before 1945, has appeared, Walker's labor of love is complete. Together these inviting volumes offer a compelling tribute to the art of the funny papers. And Amazon's irresistable price is nearly half off retail.
A Great Look at the Funnies.......2002-12-15
I've felt for a while that the newspaper comic strip is the most ignored form of popular art, rarely looked at critically. While comic books prosper and have gone well beyond the standard superhero format, the comic strip languishes, rarely allowing new and creative strips to break through, while "institutional" strips (those that have not been amusing for years but are institutions, such as Heathcliff or Crock) dominate the paper.
In this sense, this book is not very helpful; it is a relatively uncritical appreciation of the comics. Nonetheless, it is an excellent book, a good summary of the major artists and developments in the comics since World War II. All the big strips are here: Garfield, Peanuts, Doonesbury, Calvin & Hobbes, the Far Side and many more, along with plenty of material from bygone eras.
This book is around 50% text and 50% comics, so there is plenty of fun stuff to read in either format. For what it is - an appreciative history - it is fantastic. The only flaw is that Walker ignores the comic strips of alternative newspapers, therefore neglecting such important works as Groening's Life in Hell (without which, there would be no Simpsons).
For anyone who has ever enjoyed the comics, this book is a great look at the field and a lot of fun.

How to Eat Like a Child: And Other Lessons in Not Being a Grown-up

Customer Reviews:
My kids loved it.......2000-12-09
Great book- lighthearted way for young people to think about what to do in a social situation. My kids would read it aloud in the carpool and never tired of it.
A great book.......2000-04-05
This book is one of the funniest which I have ever read. If you have kids, get it for them-they will enjoy it immensely. One of mine lent it to one of their friends at school. She never gave it back! It is funny while incorporating good points about manners. It is a great read, and I strongly advise you to buy it.
Get ready for a side- splitting good book!.......1999-02-08
The fact that this book is no longer in print is just ridiculous. I own this book, and my friend and I used to spend hours with D.I.H.T.S.H.?, gagging with laughter! He kept asking where I got it, but I had to say it was out of print. Everyone should read this book. It's too good to pass up!
Dern, kids. They just don't have any manners these days........1997-08-17
Have you always hated it when you did something and your relatives reprimanded you for it, even though you have no idea why, even when they say that it's bad manners? Well, now you will with this book! It's sort of a parody of those quizzes you find in those magazines like "Vogue" or "Seventeen" and those old, old etiquitte books. The right answers are obvious, but the wrong choices are ten times funnier! Edward Koren's pen-and-ink illustrations makes the book all the more funnier (or more disgusting--check out that kid who talked with his mouth full of corn), and Delia Ephron, who wrote an equally funny book about love, does magic to what could have been a really boring topic. By the looks of things today, nobody really pays attention to their manners anymore, do they? Do they?
Prepare yourself for a laugh-fest.......1997-07-17
I am shocked that this favorite is out of print. I am a children's librarian and the book is a hilarious read-aloud. I used to have two copies at my previous job, but now am searching for two more at my new library. This is because one will surely be taken and not returned. The waiting list for this one is mighty long
Book Description
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge ("The Brave-Hearted Will Take the Bride"), universally known as DDLJ, opened to huge popular acclaim in India in 1995. Audiences flocked back to see it again and again. Directed by first-time filmmaker Aditya Chopra, it has since become the longest-running film in the history of Indian cinema and has changed the face of Bollywood. DDLJ was the first contemporary Hindi film to focus on Indian residents abroad (specifically, in this case, London). It's a heady cocktail of European locations, flashy cars, gorgeous mansions--a feast for a newly liberalized nation--and the hearty, rustic traditions of Punjab. DDLJ has spawned numerous imitations and epitomizes popular Indian cinema today. But, as Anupama Chopra points out, it's a paradoxical film that affirms old-fashioned values of premarital chastity and family authority, underlining the idea that Westernization need not affect an essential Indian identity.

My Favorite Bollywood Movie.......2005-10-16
This movie is beautiful. It is a long movie, but you will never know it because you become so engrossed in the story. The actress is beautiful and you really feel for her character. The gentleman who plays her father is great! The singing, dancing, and clothing are wonderful. I watch this one as often as I can.
The only thing I did not like - the special features did not have English captions, so you really couldn't enjoy them.
I also purchased the soundtrack to this movie. It is excellent and has more songs that were used in the movies.

What I wish someone would have taught me........2007-01-05
I would first like to start out by saying that Mr. Magadini has created a reasonable workbook for polyrhythms and that it is a worth purchasing. I am sure he put effort and creativity into the accompanying CD and the excercises. Polyrhythms are a valuable and powerfully expressive
discipline, and there aren't many books that adress them.
However - There are a number of things wrong with this book that will thwart the studen't attempt to really understand polyrhythms and perform them, and I could foresee any drummer without a teacher quickly throwing this text away in frustration, or working through the examples but never understanding them, and always playing them with apprximations and errors.
So let me first state that THIS TEXT DOES NOT EXPLAIN POLYRHYTHMS. The excercises are reasonable and good, but no explanation of really anything is given. It is easy to notate some polyrhythmic excercises, and certainly Magadini has spent the time to make the excercises worthwhile, I'm not saying that part is easy - he deserves some credit - but that is all you will find here. All excercises are naturally notated as tuplets, with no explanation of any of them whatsoever, and no breakdown of their timing so that they can be understood pricesely. So now, let me clarify some things for you here so that when you purchase this book, you can work through it with understanding.
First - Spend some time with a metronome on 60-65bpm and using two handed sticking (LRLRLRLetc.) play 2 beats per click, then 3 per click and get the feel for 3, then 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Now spend shifting back and forth between them - one click gets two beats, the next click gets a triplet; shift between them in different patterns (but not at once as in polyrhythm) and really get the feel for tuplets of all kinds. It is important to really ground the tuplets into your understanding so you can play them naturally, at least up to 7 at first. You can increase the bpm as you get more proficient.
Second - Now for combining those polyrhythms. Okay, now that you understand and can play a 7 tuplet and a 3 tuplet naturally, you can play them together at the same time in 4/4 no problem...so...GO! Oh wait, you mean it's mind-fu@#ingly hard to just do it like that? Yes it is, most certainly, don't feel bad, it's not you. So let me break it down for you. Our normal understanding and ability to parse the space between a beat usally lies in the realm of 4 - 1 e + a (Read one E and A) or 3 - 1 A a (Read one and A). So when combining 4 beats with a 7 tuplet in 4/4 requires that that each quarter note be subdivided into 7 subbeats in order to accurately play 4 against 7. Like this... in 4/4 ->
(I apologize for the horrible formatting - there is nothing I can do about it - I would recommend rewriting these examples on paper yourself, because the text here is not the same as I typed it.)
1 - - - - - - 2 - - - - - - 3 - - - - - - 4 - - - - - - :
1 - . - 2 - . - 3 - . - 4 - . - 5 - . - 6 - . - 7 - . - :
Now - how can anybody really conceptually or verbally (1 e A a) split up every beat of 4/4 into 7 at a moderate to fast tempo? Try thinking or verbally saying 1eAaeAa at 160bpm - You can't - which is why -
When first learning a polyrhythm you take the larger number and renotate the excercise in a time signature represented by the larger number.
So let's give it a try. You want to play 7 against 4 in 4/4? Well, great. You can do that. But first renotate it in 7/4. (I don't have graphics here so I can't upload the actual notation) Like this...
(Once again, due to amazon's formatting - please rewrite this example on paper so you can see for yourself)
1 e A a 2 e A a 3 e A a 4 e A a 5 e A a 6 e A a 7 e A a :
x . . . x . . . x . . . x . . . x . . . x . . . x . . . :
x . . . . . . x . . . . . . x . . . . . . x . . . . . . :
Thus now you have a beats on -
1---2--a3---4-A-5---6e--7---
Now you can play the polyrhythm accurately and perfectly at a slow speed, increase the speed more and more, making sure that you are still playing it correctly and not shifting the subdivisions. Once you truly understand the polyrhythm this way you can verbalize (yes out loud, and still in 7/4) just the 7 beats while still accurately playing the 4 against them, and then switch to verbalizing the 4 while still playing the 7 accurately against them. When you do this verbalization you may find that you start messing the other one up, this is fine, keep practicing at a slower tempo and then speed up when you got it. When you can do all of this, then you can play the rhythm in 4/4 accurately. Just listening to the CD examples, especially when they are not played in all tempos is a frustrating and innacruate way to learn, and you will never truly conceptually understand what you are doing, and it will indeed fall apart.
Third - The first several pages increase in complexity at such speed and without any true explanation of anything that I would perhaps recomend perhaps just going to around page 7 or 8 and starting from those excercises onward. It's up to you.
Fourth - I would like to emphasize once again that there is no true explanation of anything, just excercises here. Magadini rules, he deserves respect, I am glad he spend time and effort making this book, but it could most certainly use a revision taking in mind better organization, also breaking down the polyrhthms so that the student can really understand them, and explain compositionally some theory behind polyrhythms. So with that in mind...
If you would like to actually understand a bit more about polyrhythms from a compositional perspective I would recommend reading the rhythm secion of New Music Resources by Henry Cowell - which explains the harmonic ratios of polyrhythms as consonance and dissonance according to the harmonic series. Also of interest would be the Book I of the Schillinger System of Musical Composition by Joseph Schillinger which explains interference patterns (complete or incomplete) as the basis of all rhythms in existence, and he expounds upon this throughout the System in great detail. Both of these books are rare and probably out of print, but at least provide a unique theoretical framework from which to work with polyrhythms.
So my hopes of this review are that you don't have to figure everything out on your "own", and that your learning process can be a more fluent and rewarding experience. Have fun renotating.

Book Description
ROI selling works within a company's existing sales methods to increase the effectiveness and production of their sales force.
Current economic conditions are forcing everyone from large corporations to smaller privately held companies to maximize their revenue streams from new and existing customers. To be successful, firms today must outsell their competition and exceed customer expectations-thus creating long-term satisfaction and loyalty.
While basic sales methodologies instruct salespeople on the nuts and bolts of the sales process-who to approach in an organization, when to ask questions, and what to ask-ROI Selling takes them to a new level. Using a unique ""360 Degree Measurement"" technique, this guide provides practical tools for turning valuable customer feedback into a compelling case for their products and services.
Sales professionals will be able to demonstrate to the customer how their products and services will produce a more successful and tangibleoutcome than the competition. Techniques from ROI Selling are currently being used to effectively increase the productivity of sales forces in a variety of industries, and they have been licensed by the authors of Solution Selling as part of their training programs that reach thousands of sales professionals each year.
Through the use of actual case studies, ROI Selling provides stories, success criteria, and actual statistics on value estimation to aid readers in building compelling ROI models for their own products and services.

Should be part of every enterprise sales and marekting managers well thumbed library.......2007-05-01
As part of our mantra at Rocket Builders to bring metrics into sales and marketing I was asked to review this book. A very valuable book for those in the enterprise sales market and/or markets where the customer needs material that really shows the ROI from using your goods and services. This includes customers who have become "jaded" by implementations that took longer and cost more than budgetted with little to show for it. They will love the part where you can show them the cost of waiting/not deciding. (So will you)
Not a book for the faint of heart as it is quite thorough and all encompassing wrto getting and using metrics in sales. It is definitely written with VP sales and CFO in mind. The very last chapter discusses ROI used in marketing and despite the brevity, it is a useful chapter. If I was to point to one flaw, it is that this book, like so many others in sales , does not address how and why most marketing materials do not really help the sales process. The problem is as much due to sales as marketing. But that is the subject for another day(s)?
Chapters are quick, short and perhaps a bit too concise in explanation. It takes a while to get through and I would not recommend it as an airplane book. You need quiet, time and reflection to use this. If you do, the results should be very useful to you

Making money with ROI Selling.......2006-09-09
Having been a sales mentor for 7 years, and having sold large solutions into the Enterprise for 23, this book has been exactly what I have been looking for. The need to quantify value in an easy, neutral fashion, and have your prospect do it with you, is exactly how the deals are being done today in this overheated, competitive technology market.
I have adapted my practice to ROI selling, brought it to my clients, and have found new clients because of it. One of the best elements of the book is the ability to engage with the author, and actually get his help. In several instances, I did this, and it was very competitive and highly professional.
I recommend this to vendors selling software and technology, CEO's who have to buy those solutions, and executives who need to sell there projects to their own C-level. With tools like ROI Selling, you can more easily advance your business and career. Great work!
ROI Selling.......2006-07-19
Written with the professional in mind: very understandable and credible step by step process for gathering and collecting customer information which will be used in the ROI presentation. Very useful for all sales prefessionals - regardless of experience.
Ten times worth it !!.......2006-04-07
I really recommend it to any person who wants to learn how to build a solid Roi Model. This is the best tool to show your prospects/customers a truly value justification based on real information from their own company. Improve loyalty 100%!!
I am glad I found this book!
Congratulations to the author!
ROI Selling Experience.......2006-02-14
ROI Selling: I recommend for any individual working on or thinking about implementing value justification/ROI documentation into the sales process. As more and more sales situations increase in complexity the greater the need for a valid credible documentation of ROI will be needed. Customers do not have a sohpisticated method of valuing a solution, those sales professionals that can provide a credible model will win more than lose.
The methodology is great. The process the book uses is very nice to follow and not only is helpful on a general level but is providing actionable results.
My only wish is to have more examples from real life that could be packaged on a cd-rom. However the handful that are provided are a great starting point from which to build.
Even if you think you have a good ROI model you should get this book to validate your model.
