Having previously examined the role of women in fairy tales in From the Beast to the Blonde, Marina Warner now sets out on an equally eclectic study that was originally supposed to be about men, but instead became a treatise on the grotesque. Taking on everything from Zeus to Bluebeard, from Punch to the Teletubbies, she examines the ways in which we give voice to our fears in order to master--and even mock--them. In that light, her sections on the modern cultural transformation of children themselves into "little monsters" should prove quite interesting to readers of Joseph Campbell and other scholars who take erudite approaches to pop and folk culture.
Book Description
An exciting new work, richly illustrated, on the age-old images and stories about frightening men.
In this provocative new work, Marina Warner goes beyond the terrain she covered in her widely praised From the Beast to the Blonde. She explores the darker, wilder realm where ogres and giants devour children, where bogeymen haunt the night and each of us must face our bugaboos. No Go the Bogeyman considers the enduring presence and popularity of figures of male terror, establishing their origins in mythology and their current relation to ideas about sexuality and power, youth and age.
Songs, stories, images, and films about frightening monsters have always been invented to allay the very terrors that our dreams of reason conjure up. Warner shows how these images and stories, while they may unfold along different lines--scaring, lulling, or making mock-always have the strategic, simultaneous purpose of both arousing and controlling the underlying fear. In a brilliant analysis of material long overlooked by cultural critics, historians, and even psychologists, Warner revises our understanding of storytelling in contemporary culture, of masculine identity, racial stereotyping, and the dangerous, unthinking ways we perpetuate the bogeyman.

Terrific treatment of the terrors that go bump in the night.......2006-04-05
I happened to be researching a paper for my graduate studies and came across a mention of this book. I was fortunate to find an inexpensive copy of the hardcover edition (though, in retrospect, the book is worth its original retail price). Warner does an excellent job presenting not only a historical perspective on the bogeyman figure (from ogre to nursery cautionary figure to cannibal) but also a literary foundation for such a beastie. Whether you are interested in horror tales or folklore, this book will be a worthwhile primer in the topic of fear.
"The Children Were Snugly Put To Bed In A Comfortable Crust".......2005-10-13
Marina Warner's No Go the Bogeyman (1998) is a mesmerizing, rollicking, and joyously politically incorrect examination of the sociological origins of the nighttime bedroom phantasm known throughout the West as 'the bogeyman,' a being that the author links directly to the cannibalistic ogre figure so prevalent in classic fairytale lore.
The bogeyman, Warner theorizes, is a psychological and metaphorical shadow manifestation of the 'bad father,' who corresponds almost exactly to the 'wicked stepmother' of fairytale tradition. Warner believes that these negative parental images are obscure, metaphorical, and atavistic visages from an early time, when overt and covert competition for immediate survival amongst family members was a terrifying fact of daily life. Warner suggests that while most parents may today fulfill the required roles of guardian, nurturer, and provider in most cases most of the time, every adult has the inherent potential to relinquish one or all of them, and become an abandoner at best, and a predator, child killer, or cannibal at worst.
Not that Warner lets children off easily: like Camille Paglia, Warner refuses to see children as essentially benign, innocent, and tender-hearted. Warner sees infancy in particular as a time of "unappeasable demands and violent greed," behavior which, by a strange but spontaneous circularity, is often the very behavior by which "ogres and giants--and cannibal witches" are defined. Thus, part of the reason such tales exist and are read to impressionable children is because the stories teach their young audiences to recognize and reject their own worst personal and social inclinations.
Does the human need to eat, and thus destroy other life at some level, result in a continuous but little realized psychic cycle of guilt, self-loathing, anxiety, and horror for mankind, especially when commingled with incestuous familial entanglements? Are we all 'monsters' of some kind at some level? In a hilarious but acute look at the present-day "American identity," the author perceives many Americans as "pillowy and flaccid and fluffy and fat, like babies," members of a "generalized cult of childishness, a widespread, let's pretend infantilism" which "then fosters the image of the monster babies: they have something which we lack, which we desire. Baby envy has eclipsed [...]envy."
Warner also deftly illustrates how Freud's Oedipal theory, in which the young male child secretly desires to destroy the father with whom he feels competitive, is the direct inverse of the ogre's desire to devour his children and thus, Kronos-like, eliminate any competition his offspring may represent in the years to follow. Thus while the son, partially projecting a sense of his own unacceptable instincts, sees the father as the "child-guzzler," the father may perceive his child as a life-sucking parasite that may rob him of his future, drain away his vitality, and one day assume his place and position if something isn't done to prevent it.
The profusely illustrated No Go The Bogeyman features wonderfully erudite commentary on an enormous number of diverse subjects, including the myths surrounding Kronos, the Cyclops, Scylla, and Circe, Goethe's poem 'The Erkling,' the artwork of Goya, Hieronymus Bosch, Caravaggio, Jacque-Louis David, William Hogarth, Gustave Dore, Richard Dadd, and Henri Rousseau, Lewis Carroll's 'Alice' books, Dante's Divine Comedy, Punch & Judy shows, Beatrix Potter's 'The Tale of Samuel Whiskers,' Maurice Sendak's 'Where the Wild Things Are,' 1933's 'King Kong,' Bigfoot legends in America, David Lynch's 'Blue Velvet' (1986), Josephine Baker, Carmen Miranda, Halloween celebrations, and Carnival.
5 stars - excellent.......2000-03-22
A fabulous and profoundly insightful book that answers some very significant (and perhaps unconscious) questions: Why are we compelled to scare our children? And why do children delight in being terrified? An absolute must for both parents and students of folklore.

A solid guide to digital printing.......2005-02-08
This clear and concise guide is a great resource for beginners and serious amateurs. Well-organized and well written, it covers all aspects of digital photo printing, from selecting equipment, supplies, and software to preserving and presenting photos. Windows and Macintosh users alike will find good information. Rather than focusing upon a single photo-editing program, the author gives general photo editing advice, with examples from a variety of software packages. Confusing issues like camera resolution versus screen resolution versus printer resolution are explained clearly. One shortcoming is that the explanations of how to set levels and apply sharpening to images are too brief and simplified. There are also a few too many illustrations showing equipment and supplies. The author has wisely provided ample cross-referencing between chapters, and has included a number of information-rich tables.

Great reference.......2007-09-13
An excellent resource for anyone who works with weeds. The books are well organized and easy to use with a great deal of information. The photos are excellent, not only of the weeds, but also weed seeds which are not commonly found. This is very helpful and already a frequently used reference.
Weeds of California and Other Western States.......2007-08-10
I am amazed at the scope of this book in covering the diversity of weeds. The pictures, as well as descriptions, enabled me to identify the weeds easily.
Overall I find it an excellent guide and would recommend it for both the amateur gardener as well professional.

One of the best graphic novels...............2002-04-22
Ginga Legend Weed is a graphic novel about a brave puppy named Weed. Weed starts out living in the mountains (Nothern Alps) with his mother. Weed befriends cowardly but kind-hearted GB. When the pup's mother passes away, her last wish is that GB take Weed to the Ohu Mountains where they may find his legendary father Gin, boss of the Ohu Mountains. It was said that Gin defeated a bear gathering several other dogs together to attack 10 years ago, but now it only remained as a legend. GB and Weed flee from the Northern Alps to search for his long-lost father. In their long and hard adventure, the two dogs battle other fierce wild dogs and befriend unlikely mutts. This is a great and almost realistic story - the first graphic novel I've ever read about a puppy!
Ginga legend weed.......2002-02-08
This book is a great manga and it was very pleasing and interesting to read. Although it finished somewhat a cliff hanger, the drawing and artwork were 5 star rated.
great but you have too see silver fang.......2001-12-30
This serie only gets better and better....but It can't be compared with the original silver fang
wonderful.......2001-12-09
This is wonderful, just wonderful... you have to be a swede to really appreciate this wonderful manga nostalgica..
since me and most of my friends grew up watching silver fang(ginga nagareboshi gin), the prequel to ginga:legend weed, this book is really great, and hopefully it will be released in sweden, that's the only downside to it, since it will probably be a while until we swedes get it, in swedish with "our" original names.
may have lost something in translation, but still great read.......2001-07-17
This is a really cute manga comic, the illustration is pleasent but not over the top, the style is easy to read and follow. It's the first manga i have ever read with a puppy hero. Weed is a cute pup with a good heart. I would probably not recommend it for for young readers due to a certain amount of low level violence but readers over 10 to 100 will enjoy the uplifting story of a cute little pup and his friend GB as they travel to find Weed's father.

A Good Start.......2000-04-19
"A Good Start" can be taken two ways. There is plenty of information here to get you started finding interesting, music related sites on the web. One site leads to the next, and so the book provides a valuable service, as a good start.
On the other hand, it's only a start. It's a huge web out there and this book just begins to scratch the surface.
The format and layout is good - the screenshots of the home pages make for interesting browsing through the book. The descriptions are to the point, but offer enough information for you to decide whether or not a particular site would be interesting to you.
As I've never heard of any other book like this one, it's easy to say that this is the best book available to begin exploring websites of interest to musicians.

Great Leadership Training Tools.......2007-01-05
50 More Ways to Use Your Noodle offered more GREAT ways to work with people, build teams, and have a great time. I've used the activities with junior high, high school, college, and adult age groups and they all enjoyed the activities and the follow-up discussions really helped open their eyes to new situations or ways of approaching challenges. Easy to follow instructions and fun reading. The biggest challenges I've faced with using these materials are deciding which of the fun activities to use and finding space to keep all of the noodle supplies between trainings! :-)

A solid guide to managing high-performance employees who are also high maintenance.......2006-02-07
Written by expert business coach Katherine Graham Leviss, High-Maintenance Employees is a solid guide to managing high-performance employees who are also high maintenance. Chapters cover how to identify high- maintenance high performers, understanding the most effective communication methods when dealing with different personalities, the four basic behavioral styles (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Compliance), coaching strategies, advice for integrating a high-maintenance high performer into a team, what to do when working for a high-maintenance, high performer boss, and much more. Key tips are frequently broken down into bullet points for easy reference and memorization. A practical-minded, highly readable guide to easing through personality differences for maximum business success.
Recommended for supervisors, human resource specialists and Type A's.......2006-01-23
Author Kathi Graham-Leviss discovered early in her career that she wasn't like many of her colleagues. She was driven, and she wanted the freedom to make her own decisions. Her bosses told her frankly that she wasn't an easy person to manage. In short, Leviss was a "high-maintenance high-performer" - an HMHP. She was one of those Type A personalities who had to achieve her goals no matter what. Graham-Leviss is now a job coach and consultant who helps companies attract and nurture HMHPs. In her book she takes a behavioral approach, examining HMHPs' characteristics and responses, and suggesting ways to manage them. The book is written from a decidedly pro-HMHP standpoint, and focuses on coaching HMHPs rather than, for example, telling them that their exasperating behavior had better change or else. Actually, she will persuade you that harnessing the energies of driven personalities is essential for any organization. We recommend this book to supervisors, human resource specialists and high-maintenance high-performers (you know who you are).
