The Call to Teach.......2000-08-22

I was a doctoral student of Dr. Hansen's at the University of Illinois at Chicago. After several courses with him, it is obvious that he shares with his students the deep sense of bonding that takes place between teachers and students and the dedication that transcends financial, professional or other considerations that propel one into education. According ot Dr. Hansen, there are many "calls" that one responds to when selecting education as a career, and all are equally valid and important. Any teacher can easily find his or her own special reason for entering the profession in this book. Dr. Hansen's writing style is easy and conversational, so one can become absorbed in both the message and the language. If a teacher needs to rediscover and reconfirm the significance and joy of teaching, I would highly recommend this book.

Book Description

Attempting to explore and explain the similarities and differences in pension policy both intra- and inter-regionally, this book analyzes the political economy of radical pension reform in using case studies from Argentina, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Peru, Poland and Uruguay. By shedding light on the political viability of market-oriented reforms the book is a valuable and unique contribution to the understanding of the political economy of policy reform.

Book Description

Behaviour at work can no longer be stereotyped as global or local – modern or traditional – with very little in-between. Instead work behaviour is a complex interplay between Global and Local values. It takes place in a Glocality. Thus individual achievement co-exists with group aspirations, pay diversity takes place in a social context, teamwork reflects cultural narrative, and labour mobility is bound by community bias. Globalization and Culture at Work: Exploring their Combined Glocality breaks new ground by exploring such glocalities, and the implications they create for managing human potential better. The volume is essential reading for researchers, managers, culturalists and consultants of work behaviour alike.

Book Description

Faith will help a rider to get past the humps and bumps to enjoy the ride of his life. It will also help a person to get by past mistakes and enjoy the eternal ride of everlasting life. The ride of all rides! Now that is something to talk about.

When salty old bikers get together, they often share some of the best motorcycle stories ever heard by mortal ears. Tales abound about the “fastest bike to ever run” or the “coolest bike on the planet” or even “the worst piece of motorcycle garbage I ever owned”. There is very little that hasn't been tried, accomplished, seen, or messed up by these knights of embedded pea gravel.

Author and Chaplain Michael T. Abadie shares lessons that have been plentiful as a member in the fraternity of “Ride, High Side, and Slide”. This diverse and colorful brotherhood rejoices in the awareness that being a bit different from mainstream society is not necessarily a bad thing. God loves bikers too, and Shiny Side Up is Michael T.'s way of spreading the word.

Product Description

With the thoroughness of a book by Mel Bay, this method presents mandolin technique and note-reading in a progressive, step-by-step fashion. Given the diverse applications of this versatile instrument, this method was carefully written to build the musicianship and technique needed to play both classical and contemporary mandolin styles. Music theory concepts and additional playing techniques are introduced as needed. Exercises and tunes are presented in all keys, many in duet format to be played by teacher and student. In notation only.

Customer Reviews:

Good introduction to musical notation, but not really mandolin.......2007-07-08

This book is good for people who do not know how musical notation. It introduces all of the scales, and key signatures, basic music theory. However there was no description of how to pick, exercises in chords, rhythm. I already play the violin, and basically you could just as well play everything in the on the violin, so this book did not add any "mandolin" knowledge.

Mel Bay's Complete Mandolin Method/93221.......2006-07-25

As a beginer I believed there would be more practical aspects such as picking etc. However it is a valuable tool for my learning.

just what I wanted.......2006-03-22

I was looking for configurations for all sorts of chords, and this book fulfilled my search.

Not too bad........2005-09-28

This thick book gives you everything you need to know on how to read notation. There is a 2nd book that is needed called "easy mandolin solos." The book suggests that you buy this one for practice.

Classical.......2005-09-12

This course is meant for the lover of classical music. It starts with explaining the classical music notation. This increases the difficulty for beginners: you have to learn the classical notation and also learn to play the mandolin. As it doesn't have the tablature notation it will take some time before you can really play a tune. Bit old-fashioned teaching style.

Book Description

For three hundred years, New Jersey writers, books, and historical events have helped shape the cultural landscape of the nation, and yet the state is rarely credited for its numerous contributions to American letters and folklore. Paging New Jersey is just the book for those interested in uncovering a treasure trove of information about the Garden State's key role in the creation of U.S. literary and popular culture.

James F. Broderick's unique look at of the state's literary and cultural history answers intriguing questions such as: how author Peter Benchley got the idea for Jaws; where Aaron Burr shot Alexander Hamilton; why the Hindenberg exploded over Lakehurst in 1937; and where to search for Captain Kidd's buried treasure along the Jersey Shore. Most people know that television's fictional Tony Soprano lives in New Jersey, but what about the state's other mobsters—the real "goombahs"?

Writers included are Peter Benchley, Mary Higgins Clark, James Fenimore Cooper, Stephen Crane, Mary Mapes Dodge, Mary Wilkins Freeman, Allen Ginsberg, Joyce Kilmer, Toni Morrison, Joyce Carol Oates, Anna Quindlen, Albert Payson Terhune, Walt Whitman, and William Carlos Williams.

Full of commentary, biographical information, and history—along with suggested reading lists— Paging New Jersey is a crash course in Jerseyana. For those who live in the state, expatriates, and yes, even those who think all New Jersey has to offer is the Turnpike, Broderick's engaging book provides an entertaining look at the Garden State's rich cultural heritage.

Yes!.......2004-10-23

This book gets it right, mapping the literary landscape of New Jersey. Up to date and thorough, it even references one of my favorite contemporary authors, Christopher Klim!

Although Rocky and His Friends remains the cleverest and best-loved cartoon series of the baby boom era, information about the creation of the program is notoriously hard to come by. Jay Ward declined to give interviews in his later years, key artists have died, and virtually nothing survives from the hastily organized studio in Mexico City where much of the animation was done. Despite these handicaps, Australian actor Keith Scott, the voice of Bullwinkle in the 2000 film, has assembled an impressively complete studio history.

Unlike other television cartoon producers, Ward and his partner, writer and voice actor Bill Scott, insisted on making shows they thought were funny. The witty scripts, read by a cast of superb voice artists, remain as entertaining today as they were when Rocky debuted in 1959. And, as Scott documents, what occurred off-camera was often just as zany. The Coney Island Film Festival, a lavish publicity stunt to promote "Fractured Flickers," Ward's send-up of silent films, turned into a spectacular disaster when a rainstorm drenched the park--and the guests. The book has some weaknesses: there are only a few black-and-white illustrations, and Scott fails to address the impact of the cartoons--Matt Groening has frequently cited them as an influence on The Simpsons. The often repetitious text would have benefited from judicious editing. These caveats aside, The Moose That Roared will delight the legions of vociferous fans whose love for Rocky, Bullwinkle, Boris, Natasha, Dudley Do-Right, George of the Jungle, Super Chicken, Fred, and the rest of the Jay Ward characters continues, 40 years after Rocky began its initial run. Also available: the original cartoons on VHS, the large-format episode guide The Rocky and Bullwinkle Book, and Fractured Fairy Tales, updated by an Entertainment Weekly writer. --Charles Solomon

Book Description

The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show was the first cartoon to reach both kids and adults with its humour. For the first time, read the fascinating behind-the-scenes history of the shows creation, the fierce script battles, and the impact of the show on 1960s culture.

Customer Reviews:

A must for die-hard fans.......2007-02-27

I agree with the general consensus of reviews that the book is too wordy. I'm a huge Moose And Squirrel fan, but I haven't actually managed to plow thru the whole book yet. If you have the videos of the cartoons, seen the movie with Jason Alexander and Rene Russo, and interrupt meetings at work with "Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!! But that trick never works...", then you Need this book. If not, just get it from the library.

That said, you just can't get this info anywhere else. Keith Scott has done a terrific job in going over (dredging up?) the history of the show, from Jay Ward's inspiration, to Ward's partner Bill Scott inventing, or more like "falling into", the voice for The Moose (mostly because he just happened to be there during casting), the constant tension with the cartoon artists in Mexico who did the work, all the publicity stunts Ward tried to pull, etc.

(For example, there was the episode about the "Kerwood Derby" -- a derby hat -- which was a pun on the name of TV star Durward Kirby. Kirby's people on The Garry Moore Show were not amused, and threatened a lawsuit, which Ward eagerly awaited, because of the old maxim "there's no such thing as bad publicity".)

And Now For Something You'll REALLY Like!.......2007-01-15

Contrary to some other reviews here, I found Mr. Scott's book to be an easily readable, fascinating and fun look into the life and work of Mr. Jay Ward.

Mr. Ward was a man about whom little has been written before this. Mr. Scott does an admirable job, in my opinion, of telling his story and renewing interest in his work. I, for one, will be buying every Rocky & Bullwinkle DVD there is to buy, chiefly on the strength of the memories resurrected for me by this book.

Mr. Ward apparently was also a big kid at heart, himself (in the sense that he loved to have fun and, if something wasn't fun, he wouldn't do it. Even to the point, at times, of turning down some projects.) He also believed in producing a quality product in a time when "children's cartoon" and "quality product" were not synonymous phrases. Kudos to Mr. Ward for taking that approach to his work! He was also ahead of his time, and very right, in believing that kids were smarter than most people thought back then and, as such, would be capable of understanding the type of humor employed in his cartoons. I guess you could say he was one of the first people to express, through his work and in his own special way, that "Kids are people, too". Again, kudos for that!

From Crusader Rabbit, (the first children's cartoon created specifically for television in 1948) to Rocky & Bullwinkle, to Cap'N'Crunch and Quisp & Quake (to show you what I've learned, I didn't even know he created these last two!) they're all here to be remembered and enjoyed anew.

So, sit back, relax, read and enjoy....This really is a wonderful book.

The Moose That Snored?.......2006-04-16

I really, really wanted to like this book. I was a huge fan of Jay Ward, Bill Scott and the gang who brought us Rocky and Bullwinkle, George of the Jungle, Dudley Do-Right and the rest. I've shopped at the Dudley Do-Right Emporium and own a Super Chicken animation cell.

Unfortunately, Keith Scott's true enthusiasm for the subject matter pushes this book about 100 pages beyond what would have been a more reasonable length. I admire his pluck, but wish I had those three hours of my life back. A little editing would have gone a long way.

Might overwhelm the reader on a first look; it's funnier, easier going when revisited.......2005-06-29

Some reviewers have found that Keith Scott's monumental tribute to Jay Ward Productions contains almost too much information to be easily enjoyed. The book deals with the "Rocky and Bullwinkle" TV cartoons only in part; to put the R & B phenomenon into context, Scott takes the reader back to Jay Ward's early days, then details the challenging and often harrowing path Ward took through life: a traumatic, near-fatal accident; unscrupulous business associates; impossible working conditions; constant interference from TV and advertising executives; many attempts to launch other TV and movie projects; and ultimately, disenchantment when the work wasn't very rewarding anymore. Through it all Jay Ward, his partner Bill Scott, and his like-minded staff persevered in their genially nutty way, and created some of the funniest shows ever committed to film.

It's interesting to read about these behind-the-scenes aspects, but the business content overshadows the comedy content on the first reading. The sheer volume of peaks and valleys over 40 years is enough to give any reader a workout. The book is commendably thorough when it comes to dates, places, and people, and the entire gallery of Jay Ward creations is on display, from Crusader Rabbit to Dudley Do-Right, from George of the Jungle to Quaker cereal commercials.

This writer suggests that you read the book a second time. Once you know the back story, the climactic events are easier to digest, and you can savor the narrative's basic, irreverent humor. One of the appendices lists all the pun-filled titles of the Bullwinkle adventures ("Cheerful Little Pierful" or "Bomb Voyage"), and some of these will make you laugh out loud.

If you're a big fan of the Jay Ward canon and/or vintage television, this book is highly recommended for both reading and reference. If you're a casual Rocky and Bullwinkle fan, you may get more than you bargained for.

Good topic, terrible read.......2005-05-31

In the hands of A.J. Liebling or Jane Kramer, this would have been an excellent book. After all, the subject is superb. But being a Red Sox fan doesn't make you a good hitter, and being a Jay Ward fan doesn't make you witty. Keith Scott has no literary style. The book has none of his subject's wit. It is as if a writer tried to describe Rembrandt by telling you where he bought his paints. The book should have been edited down by at least half. Watch Jay Ward's reruns; forget this boring book.

Uncommonly creative!.......2003-10-08

I just love the techniques in Tim Meehan's book. Even though I've used FCP for about a year, I learned more than a few things from these pages. (Fire-breathing dogs, anyone?) And, I've got to say that the author's creativity (some wacky techniques in here) really added to the enjoyment of learning. I just hope the publisher will create a new edition for FCP4.
