Glasnost Bizarro
Dan Piraro Manufacturer: Chronicle Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 0877016933 |
Book Description
With legions of fans being drawn to its inimitable style, Bizarro has become one of the country's fastest-growing syndicated cartoon panels since its launching in 1985. In this new collection, his fourth to date, Dan Piraro once again demonstrates an uncanny talent for making wildly startling situations even more extravagant. Notorious for his provocative and elaborately executed drawing style, Piraro is like a curious, mischievous child, lifting rocks and peeking around corners to reveal the secrets of the universe as he perceives them. It's a crazy, improbable world, and Glasnost Bizarro gives loyal readers (as well as unsuspecting ingenues) the chance to belly-laugh at the author's peculiarly skewed sensibilities.Customer Reviews:
One of his best.......2000-05-10
Which IS one of his better collections, although not reaching the level of his earliest work!
Still, Piraro's Bizarro is in the class of Gary Larson, so if you don't know him, you definitely have to give it a shot.
well-drawn, funny.......2000-04-20

Killing Yourself to Live: 85% of a True Story
Chuck Klosterman Manufacturer: Scribner ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0743264460 |
Download Description
For 6,557 miles, Chuck Klosterman thought about dying. He drove a rental car from New York to Rhode Island to Georgia to Mississippi to Iowa to Minneapolis to Fargo to Seattle, and he chased death and rock 'n' roll all the way. Within the span of twenty-one days, Chuck had three relationships end -- one by choice, one by chance, and one by exhaustion. He snorted cocaine in a graveyard. He walked a half-mile through a bean field. A man in Dickinson, North Dakota, explained to him why we have fewer windmills than we used to. He listened to the KISS solo albums and the Rod Stewart box set. At one point, poisonous snakes became involved. The road is hard. From the Chelsea Hotel to the swampland where Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane went down to the site where Kurt Cobain blew his head off, Chuck explored every brand of rock star demise. He wanted to know why the greatest career move any musician can make is to stop breathing...and what this means for the rest of us.Customer Reviews:

ASIN: 0393325415 |
Book Description
In the tradition of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Ecco is one of the greatest sleuths of our time, a mathematical wizard who uses logic and computer programming to solve crimes, find treasures, and explore space. Join his team, expand the frontiers of your knowledge, and match wits with him on intriguing cases like "The Virus from the Spy" and "The Secrets of Space" and "The Caribou and the Gas." The puzzles collected here require no formal background beyond arithmetic and elementary algebrajust lively curiosity and keen intelligence. With thirty-six illustrated cases organized around eight major mathematical themes (from Combinatorial Geometry and Geography to Ciphers and Secrecy) this book will encourage you to use your mind and your computer in ways you never previously imagined.Customer Reviews:
Interesting puzzles, but who's Dr. Ecco?.......2004-06-12
The puzzles on the other hand are pretty interesting. Ranging from solving codes through organizing buildings in space to transporting monkeys, the puzzles are a nice way of teaching mathematical concepts. As the descriptions of the puzzles and Dr. Ecco's solutions thereof progress, the reader is asked to participate on different levels in solving of the puzzles. Cybernovices and cyberexperts can learn about math in a fun way.
I recommend this book for those interested in solving puzzles of any kind who are not detered by corny storylines. If you are not sure whether you'd like this book, I recommend you flip through it at a book store to make sure.
Ecco strikes again.......2003-07-17
The book is a fun and intersting read on its own, but I have also drawn on the book's puzzles in teaching (a course on logic and discrete math).
It's very cool to have a book that can entertain and educate at the same time! Looking forward to Ecco's further adventures.

What an Awsome Book!.......2006-07-28
Good for the computer illiterate.......2006-03-03
NOT a good way to learn FrontPage.......2003-05-22
A positive outcome of using this tutorial is that I was forced to figure out how to get around the mistakes in the exercises, so I did learn some things. I accomplished this by bugging people who know about computers for help. If I hadn't had anyone to ask, I might have been stuck on the page layout chapter forever.
I'm trying to learn FrontPage quickly, and this book has wasted hours of my time. BEWARE!
sheeesh.......2003-03-12
First let me say that I am a web designer, and have been building sites for several years. I've used Frontpage before, but have been using Dreamweaver for the past 3 years.
Anyway, I'm teaching a class on Frontpage, and was looking for a book to use for the class. This isn't it.
Chapter 11 on publishing your site covers everything except publishing to a remote server from your local machine (which is the most common way to publish). It finally covers publishing on the next chapter entitled "Managing Your Site", but unfortunately the instructions aren't even close to what is available in FrontPage 2002. Evidently they were using a pre-release version of the software. Try going through the instructions on p.279 ????? "Views Bar" "ServerAdmin" "Web Folders" icon?????? I had to glance at the cover of the book to make sure I hadn't accidently picked up a book on FP 2000 by mistake.
I haven't really explored the book very thoroughly, so it might be a decent book, but just from looking at a few different topics I'm ready to toss it already.
