A FREE LUNCH.......2003-10-08

Although a little uneven, this, the latest print edition to THE SIMPSONS TREEHOUSE OF HORROR featuring all new original artwork and stories, is still an entertaining and very funny book. Rarely is it really scary, but there are some truly inspired moements (MOE'S URBAN TALES OF TERROR: #62: THE PHANTOM GIRLFRIEND!!), visual gags and some daring plots (REASONS TO AVOID A ZOMBIE-RUN RESTURANT and HELL-O-WEEN, the last and best story of the entire book) are to be found inside. A major draw for these stories is the often new and original take on both the artwork and the actual look of the Simpsons. Artists are given free regin here to play with the look and style of The Simpsons, as well as placing them in odd and strange situations (even more odd and strange than even the television series is allowed to go). While third in the series, it shows no sign of getting old or growing stale. Perhaps not the best TREEHOUSE ever, but still remarkable and highly recommdned.

Lintball Leo's Not-So-Stupid Questions About Your Body.......2007-06-25

My 8 year old loved the humor in the book, and he appreciated all the important, hard to just "bring up" information that it gave him. I liked the good information that was given, but not "too much" for this age group! I'd definately recommend this book to anyone with a little boy!

Christian content.......2007-05-08

I was not put off by the other comments and reviews that this is a biblically based book because we're Jewish. In fact, I kind of liked the idea that some of these issues could be talked about openly and also with modesty. But when I got the book, I realized that the distinction needs to be made that there are references to the Christian bible, (in addition to the Hebrew bible) directly speaking about Jesus. That threw me off some and I've had to "edit" with a marker so it's not confusing or distracting from what we're teaching at home.

I do wish that there was more clarity in the description in the reviews which is why I'm adding my two cents here and hopefully make it more clear for others. I'll be giving the edited version to my son but I probably would not have bought it in the first place if I had seen it in person in a book store.

The issues covered span a pretty good spectrum and the author doesn't shy away from sensitive issues, handled by and large, in a fine way.

So, if you're Christian, you'll love this book for your growing son. I docked it one star only because it wasn't up front enough for me that it was Christian.

A must have!.......2007-02-19

I bought this book for my 9 year old son and I would highly recommend this to any parent of a tween boy. Yes, it is very biblically based and that is what is so great about it. Our kids are so inindated with what the world thinks these days, that's it's great to read something that is not based on worldly thinking. And, these are some pretty important subjects.

We had our son read the book first and then we asked him if he had any questions. At first, he did not, but as time as gone on, he has had some questions. The questions are trickling in, but at least he has some idea of what he is asking about.

Useful for presenting different opinions.......2007-01-09

I got this book for my 10 year old nephew. I read it all before giving it to him. He really didn't seem very interested just yet, but I think he will go back to this in a year or so. When I gave it to him, we talked about how this book gave a lot of facts about boys' bodies, but it also gave a lot of opinions about moral issues and things like that. I explained that I agree with some of the opinions, but disagree with others. I think this book is good for teaching kids that people have many different viewpoints on this topic and ultimately they will have to choose their own and it's ok if it's different than mine.

boys.......2007-01-07

My boys read this book together and talked about all their weird things they are going through. It opened up conversation. Don't agree with sex before marriage. So we discussed it and the problems with it.

Book Description

Leave the meaningful questions to the philosophers. Real life deals with the little things. The inane things. The petty things. And yes, well, the stupid things. Get ready to get real. And get stupid.

--If cats and dogs didn't have fur, would you still pet them?

--Do vegetarians eat animal crackers?

--Who do you know that is most likely to have been abducted by aliens?

And nearly 300 other pointless queries.

Customer Reviews:

Worth much more than you imagine!.......2007-09-19

David Borgenicht's book is actually not as stupid as it seems. Sometimes, those "embarrassing, personal and basically pointless questions" can start some seriously entertaining conversations.

For example, one of my favorites is, "Do you think that the first time corn ever popped it scared the hell out of the Indians?"

And then, just think about the following question would tell you about your friends and family. "What would you say as your "last words" if you wre about to be executed?"

The Little Book of Stupid Questions is one of the great ones. Don't pass it by as a joke book.

Stupid people don't ask stupid questions. Smart people do........2003-06-14

Don't remember who once said something like this: "A smart person is not who knows smart answers, but one who knows how to ask smart questions." Asking questions is an art that can ultimately bring prosperity and fun to our lives. This little book ain't stupid to ask normal 'stupid' questions. Instead, it asked some seemly stupid, but thought provocative questions. I enjoy most part of it.

Question such as "If you had a third eye, where would you put it?". This is a question that can trigger an intensive discussions with so many possible answers. This is not only where you want `the eye' to grow out/in on your body, it is also about how you are going to use it. And, this eye is not necessarily part of your body. It can be in Bill Gates' or Michelle Pfeiffer's head. Can the eye be portable or have a wing of its own to be wherever and whenever I want it to be? This one question is a piece of work on its own!

The only reason I gave this book four star instead of five because many questions from the book are not universal. You have to grow up in certain part of the world at certain period to appreciate the questions. For example, a question like "Who is the better boyfriend, Kramer..." You have to see the TV show (I am not going to advertise for it) to know what the author is talking about. These questions are the real `stupid' ones I suppose.

This book has more values than faults. It can make a great gift for friends, family, or yourself. It can be a perfect `kill-time' toy, or a primer for a `Philosophical moment'. Either way, you will be smarter every time you read it. Remember, stupid people don't ask stupid questions. They just give you stupid answers without thinking. Only smart people ask stupid questions, such as "Why apples fell from the tree?" and "Why men have two legs instead of six."

A great way to get to know someone!.......2003-02-14

My fiance (now husband) and I found this book to be a great way to get to know eachother. We found the questions to be somewhat silly, but thought-provoking. I'd really recommend this book to anyone who wanted to learn more about their partner, or to just start conversations in general. It is a lot of fun to go through.

Some people are born teachers, some become great through experience, and some become famous through their students. The renowned violin teacher Dorothy DeLay fits all three categories. She discovered her innate talent and love for teaching early in life, inspired by the great pedagogue Ivan Galamian, but her long association with him, first as his student, then as his assistant at the Juilliard School, ended in an acrimonious parting of ways. She then developed her own class of students at Juilliard and other prestigious conservatories, and soon acquired a worldwide reputation as unrivalled producer of prodigies and virtuosos. One of her first star pupils was Itzhak Perlman; it might be said that they made each other famous. The music world has long speculated about what sets DeLay and her teaching apart, and in this book, 10 years in the making, Barbara Sand tries to find some answers. She observed DeLay in action and interaction with her pupils at Juilliard, the Aspen summer school, and at home, and talked extensively with DeLay and her husband of almost 60 years, Edward Newhouse. Sand interviewed her assistants, her students past and present, and the conductors and managers who engage them. What emerges is a portrait of a woman whose inexhaustible energy, determination, inquiring intellect, and single-minded commitment to her work and her students give her a larger-than-life quality. This is a personal profile, not a description of a teaching method. Indeed, DeLay claims she has none, though it seems clear that she is guided by Galamian's technical principles. However, she rejects his well-known authoritarianism, responding to her pupils' individual needs and tempering stringent demands with generous encouragement and support. What makes her approach unique is her deep involvement in her students' lives, from choosing their wardrobes to remaining available to them as adviser and confidante long after they leave her studio. Even more remarkable is her ability to launch them into the concert world. Their gratitude and devotion are unstintingly expressed by Sand's carefully selected interviewees, as is her own wholehearted admiration. The book is a hymn of praise.

However, like all successful people, DeLay has her share of detractors. Sand dispatches them in a single chapter, mostly devoted to refuting criticism, some of which is undoubtedly inspired by envy. It is said that her students win major prizes and make successful careers because she attracts the best talents from all over the world, and because she has attained an unprecedented position of power and influence in the music profession's slippery back corridors. She takes only highly accomplished, motivated students who are preparing for solo careers and practice all day. Even the youngest children arrive playing virtuoso concertos, which indicates heavy family pressure and means that she can hand out the carrots while the parents wield the stick. Nevertheless, the chapter on prodigies makes the tortuous process of training and "handling" them sound utterly benign and healthy.

Sand discusses DeLay's well-known habit of keeping students waiting for hours and leaving much of the teaching to her assistants (whom she gets on the Juilliard faculty), explaining that she accepts too many students and spends too much time promoting them. But she mentions legitimate pedagogical issues only by implication. Unlike teachers who also perform, DeLay never plays for her students (beyond some technical demonstration) to avoid exposing them to a single influence; instead, she advises them to listen to different interpretations on many recordings. But doesn't this also produce imitation, and perhaps confusion as well? Entirely performance-oriented, DeLay focuses on what is effective onstage and encourages a large-scaled, extroverted playing style. She speaks emphatically about teaching her students to think for themselves, but never mentions fostering their emotional response to the music or helping them in the slow, inward process of discovering their own feelings. Yet isn't this the key to becoming a communicative artist?

Sand is an empathetic, adept interviewer, winning her subjects' confidence and eliciting frank, informative responses (though some could have used editing). Galamian, perhaps to contrast his teaching style with DeLay's, generally comes off rather badly; DeLay herself speaks about their rupture candidly but without rancor. The book contains much absorbing information, punctuated with many detailed descriptions of people's looks and attire. There are sweeping statements about players and teachers. Why, for example, are such great artist-teachers as Flesch, Busch, Enescu, Rostal, and Bron not mentioned among the 20th-century "teaching geniuses"? Sand's style is a pleasure to read, engaging, lively, humorous, and to the point, despite some moments of confusion and contradiction. Her perceptive insights and warm feeling for her subject bring us closer to understanding what makes Dorothy DeLay such a fascinating, controversial personality. --Edith Eisler

Book Description

The late Dorothy DeLay taught violin at Juilliard for more than 50 years, and a list of her pupils - from Itzhak Perlman and Kennedy to Midori and Sarah Chang - reads like a who's who of the violin world. For more than 10 years, the author was granted access to DeLay's classes at Juilliard and the Aspen School, allowing her to craft this fascinating book that is both an exploration of the mysteries of teaching and learning and a feast of anecdotes about an extraordinary woman. HARDCOVER.

Very Fair Portrayal of a Gargantuan Violin Pedagogue.......2007-08-07

Some have criticized this book for giving an overly-fawning portrayal of Dorothy DeLay. However, this book contains an excellent chapter devoted solely to DeLay's critics, and it doesn't shoot the critics down; it discusses the criticisms in a fair way.

Dorothy DeLay died in 2002 but her legacy lives on. This is the woman responsible for teaching Perlman, Sarah Chang, Midori, Salerno-Sonnenberg, Nigel Kennedy, Cho-Liang Lin, Mark Kaplan, Shlomo Mintz, Gil Shaham, Simon Fischer, and too many more to mention.

I never played for her, but did watch a lesson she taught once. Admittedly, it was rife with many of the things of which her critics complain: She arrived about three hours late (Getting "DeLayed"), and once the lesson began she was constantly answering the knock at the studio door, the phone ringing, etc.

However, knowing that many people sought to play for her at least once, so they could then put her name on their resume, she didn't always take these occasions seriously, especially given the hundreds and hundreds of violinists she heard in her life.

Those special musical geniuses that DeLay *did* take a special interest in, though, she took a long way. While some violin teachers like to focus only on developing technique through scales and exercises, DeLay never failed to emphasize the musical, expressive, artistic side of the violinist's development. Whereas her contemporary Ivan Galamian would say "I don't teach music," meaning he only taught technique, musical interpretation notwithstanding, Dorothy DeLay would constantly ask her students things like "Where do you think this phrase is going?" and "What do you think is the most important note in this phrase?" and "What do you think Beethoven might have been thinking when he composed this passage?" So many music teachers today, of all instruments, neglect this area of development as they view performance as an olympic sport of technique. Yes, the profession is extremely competitive, but in such competition, when there are 1000 violinists that can hit the notes, the ones that stand out are the ones with a superior *artistic* finish.

This book is an excellent survey of the inner world of Dorothy DeLay's studio; her philosophy, her former students, and much more. She was the single most influential violin teacher of the 20th century.

Mainly good except for some flaws.......2007-06-27

It's very interesing to know the inner workings of Juliard and business part of the classical world. It is sad but true that after so much hard work, the student may end up with no job (if you have no clout/connections)!
But have to agree that the book has a "fawning" tone abt it. Also, the almost "out of this world" (lack of a better word) praises it heaps on some of Delay's star students makes parts of it difficult to read.
But taking apart all these, it is still a pretty good read.

Amazing.......2003-11-10

Being a violinist, I found it utterly foolish to not read a book about one of the best teachers of the instrument in the 20th Century. The first day I purchased it I read almost 200 pages, literally unable to put it down.
The relationships Ms. Delay had with her students were not only educational ones, but personal friendships. How unreal that despite the graduation of many students, they still went back to her for lessons after landing their professional solo careers! Many times a violinist is too hard-headed and full of himself to get advice from another person, but such is not the case with the students of Ms. Delay.
I felt, as I read the book, that I could not only relate to some of the technical issues the students had, but that I was actually receiving a private lesson from Delay without ever touching my violin.
I definitely intend on reading this book again, and again, and again, with highlighter in hand. I have a completely different outlook on how I not only listen to the phrasing of music but in creating my own phrasing as well.
The world has lost a teacher, but more importantly a wonderful woman, which many could call a friend and mother-figure.
This was a fabulous book and I recommend it to every musician, no matter what instrument you play.

Interesting, but pulls too many punches.......2001-12-28

Barbara Lourie Sand's book about Dorothy DeLay is written by a polished journalist who knows how to tell a good story. The early part of the book is thus the most interesting, tracing DeLay's life and development, first as a moderately successful concert violinist and chamber musician, next as longtime assistant to the great pedagogue Ivan Galamian, and finally as legendary teacher and mentor of many of the most successful classical violinists of the 20th century.

Sand mentions in a preface that she shaped this book during the course of a ten-year association with DeLay during which she was also writing articles about some of her well-known students. She obviously had a warm and close relationship with DeLay, her husband Edward Newhouse, and her students, and while this gave her an enviable access it probably hurt her journalistic acumen in the end. Too often, troubling questions are raised and treated dismissively, or quickly dropped--the hardships of raising and nurturing exceptionally gifted children, or outright abuse in the name of discipline and training, for example. Sand treats DeLay's rupture with Galamian in a fair amount of detail, but does not mention that some of DeLay's students have broken very publicly with her as well. Criticisms of DeLay and her style are mostly confined to one chapter and are largely made by unnamed sources. Though DeLay's approach to teaching is discussed in detail, important issues, such as the pros and cons of learning from a teacher who herself never demonstrates, are left untouched.

In short, this book is a good read and intriguing glimpse into the arcane and competitive world of top classical music-making. Because of her unwillingness to "go for the jugular," as she admits at one point, Barbara Lourie Sand loses a chance to make it even more.

Minor quibble: The Accolay Concerto is _not_ part of the Suzuki violin literature.

Teaching Geniuses and All the Others, Too.......2001-01-23

Through Mrs. Sand's warm, informed voice the reader can enter the veiled world of Julliard: its politics, its students, and its famous teachers. Her subject is Dorothy Delay, a woman, we learn, who from the '40s and 50's on had the brillant talent and requisite nerve to break through the traditional male world of classical, dictatorial music teaching, and assert her own humanistic beliefs and style. This is a book also for people, musical and otherwise, who want to learn how to overcome professional barriers. It is inspiring.

Some may think that Delay's skill in building successful young careers lies in having the ear to choose the most talented applicants to her studio. However, this book is true to its title: anyone can find clues here for becoming a great teacher.

Super series for Film and Media Studies teachers (16-19 year olds).......2005-09-27

I am biased, as I'm the Series Editor, but every title in the series has lots of factual and conceptual background information for each topic, two sample six-week teaching schemes and teaching tips (and downloadable photocopiable worksheets and web notes from [...]) as well as 3-5 detailed case studies, full glossary and suggestions for further research.

Every writer is an experienced teacher and/or examiner and most titles (with the exception of ones with 'British' in the title) have a fairly international perspective.

Book Description

Due in part to the many film and video releases in the last decade of the twentieth century, there is a renewed interest in Jane Austen in high school and college classrooms. As an educational resource, Jane Austen in the Classroom helps teachers to guide readers who are being introduced to these novels-as well as readers who know and love Austen's works-through the process of "viewing the novel," reading Austen with an imaginative eye, and "reading the film," analyzing the adaptations as re-creations of Austen's cultural and fictional worlds. This book references the latest critical analyses of the novels and the videos. As a pedagogical tool, the text is a valuable resource for educators and students of the British novel and literature by women, offering innovative approaches to discussion, analysis, writing, and research.

RPG.......2007-09-03

Given that they were clearly Marvel's most popular team at the time, they got their own, impressive large boxed set focused entirely on the X-Men and their milieu.

This, of course, was a natural, and updated and upgraded the mutant menace to the Advanced game. A very well used supplement.

Excellent book for Managers.......2007-09-02

This is an excellent book for Managers or anyone studying statistics.Excel 2007 is being used extensively here which is a requirement for all stats students. There are some documentation errors or bugs with the calculations but they are minore. I hope the authors will rectify them in the next version.

Good textbook for business managers.......2007-06-10

Though I have not yet gone through the entire textbook, it does appear to be strongly oriented toward business managers. I actually purchased this book for review since I already had a graduate level statistics class about 10 years ago. I like this book because it teaches business cases. Also, the emphasis on using MS Excel was a big reason why I chose this book. One negative is that the quality of the manufacturing of this textbook is not great. I noticed a defect soon after recieving the product. However, I chose to live with the defect rather than send it back to the manufacturer.
