Book was STOLEN from Chicago Public Library.......2007-01-17

The book was in great condition, with one MAJOR catch: it had a Chicago Public Library bar code on it. I called the library, read them the bar code, and they asked me to please return it, as it had been taken without their permission. Amazon kindly sent me another book, and the stolen edition goes back to the library!

how people see their job tells a lot about them.......2007-01-14

What's engaging about this is the stories. Studs is known for his work getting people to tell their stories. This is one of his contributions to the cultural history of America, told first person, in a way that is timeless and just as relevant today as when it was written. One way to sum it up might be to say this is about what people learned from their work, and about themselves and others in the process. The subject might sound boring, but it's alive and seething with emotions.

On the face of it this is a dated survey of Americans and how they feel about their jobs. While there's some nostalgia in here in the attitudes and jobs of eras past it's also a fun read and one that I would recommend to teens, college students and anyone interested in perspectives about work and how we see ourselves and others.

We all know that most people hate their jobs. Work is seen as something we have to do, and few of us seem to find a job that we like or enjoy. How we feel about work, and what we do for a living, in many ways defines who we are. Seeing people share their their perspectives on this helps us see ourselves in a different light, and taken as a whole this book helps us see a perspective of America's history.

One thing I found interesting in this was the work ethic people found even in jobs they hated. Work ethics seem to be less clearly defined today in a world where ethics have gone astray, and where people tend to care less about what they do and how they do it. Seeing the pride a man took in his work, even if he hated it, tells us something about the character of a person. It's also interesting to see how people who had jobs you would assume they would have hated were content in their roles and saw what they did as a service even when others might look down on them.

The construction worker who wants to make sure his son doesn't have to do what he does was one I enjoyed and remember. An airline stewardess in an era dominated by of bigoted males... the stories this books tells are about relationships and attitudes, and in a way it's still very vital and contemporary.

It's about relationships with work, family, with other people, and with ourselves and or past and future. You'll probably see yourself and people you know in the attitudes within this book. In that way it's timeless, candid and informative, and touching.

an epic of America--.......2006-04-05

This is a fascinating book. Filled with brief, antecdotal stories of people narrowing down their lives to reflections on their jobs, the very souls of many of these people shine through. People good and bad, generous and selfish, greedy, self-absorbed, charitable and open-hearted, Terkel has captured more than just an historical document chronicling the present-past-tense viewpoints of a handful of citizens, but has exposed a universal understanding of differences of opinion throughout the nation. People speak, sometimes angry, often full of regret and a sense of meaninglessness or loss, and they tell the story of human aspiration and dreams. For all the increasingly irrelevent references to issues and phenomenon of the early 1970s, for every comment on times gone by dimming increasingly into the past, there remains a profound relevence for every civilization to come (and no doubt every one that preceded the subjects) regarding the very search for meaning in our lives.

I could rarely recommend a more powerful book dealing almost esclusively with the conscience and so I urge you, when times look either up or down, to browse through this rather hefty tome and think deeply down into yourself and wonder if you are truly pleased with the direction of your life. Herein some of the most brazenly arrogant and humbly neglectful people relate both their triumphs and regrets. Somehow master-interviewer Terkel was allowed access to all of these demons pigeonholed beneath the romanticized personas people tend to put on when attempting to define themselves.

Buy this, read this. Now . . .

MAGNUM OPUS!!.......2006-03-31

Studs Terkel wanted to write a book about working for a living. So he sat down with a grocery store cashier and interviewed her about her job. He didn't ask very many questions; he just turned on a tape recorder and let her pour her heart out. She explained what she did for a living, how and why she came to do it, what she liked and disliked about her job. She talked about the little dramas and boredom that filled her working hours and the toll it took on her private life. When she was finished talking she had created a vivid "snapshot" with words of what it's like to work as a grocery store cashier.
Then Studs interviewed a bartender, a teacher, a pro athlete and dozens of other people from dozens of professions. They each created in their own words unique self-portraits of themselves at work. The book Working is like an art gallery filled with these detailed self-portraits.
And just like strolling through an art gallery looking at paintings will give you a feel for the visions of a variety of artists, reading Working will give you a taste of the flavor of the working lives of it's subjects.

The dreams and experiences of ordinary working folk.......2005-06-05

Labor history students will easily recall Studs Terkel's Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day And How They Feel About What They Do to be a landmark charting the dreams and experiences of ordinary working folk: add a new foreword by Adam Cohen of the New York Times to Terkel's classic and you return an important reference to modern times, with over a hundred interviews with working folk as relevant today as when it was first done.

This book touched my heart. Especially "Fathers and Sons". I felt inspired. I perfomed in the Musical it was one of the best memories I will ever have.I suggest this book because of its touching peices, and its hilarious moments. This book will give you a sense of how real people really feel about what they do. They sure took the words right out of my mouth. In the words of Mike, "Every one should have something to point to"(from the musical WORKING) And in the words of Ralph "Thank you very much" (also from the musical WORKING"

Book Description

"An untimely book in the best sense of that term. While others announce the solidity of common sense and the necessity of moral certainty, Thomas dumm explores the mysterious indeterminancy of ordinary life itself. Along the way he reveals how important this very indeterminancy is to politics and ethics. And his compelling engagement with thinkers such as Emerson, Thoreau, Cavell, and Deleuze illuminates the place of the extrordinary within the ordinary."
--William Connolly

"The apparent excesses in Emerson's and Thoreau's voices may be heard as efforts, addressed first to themselves, not to give in to a madness of despair over, and yet of hope for, an American democracy, a new world. Tom Dumm's politics of hte ordinary responds with mutually modifying ideas of the political and of ordinary life in which the ordinary is not one more order, violently conformed to, but the name of any time at which our desires for a better world find new chances of expression, and habitation. To provide such encounters of effective surprise requires a capacious interest in the unmarked eventfulness of the world, in the ways we ornament, perhaps in a choice of song, our getting along, and in posing awakening explorations and juxtapositions of texts-- matters that Tom Dumm's sometimes narrative, sometimes pedagogical, somtimes lyrical, always risky prose asks of itself, and receives."
--Stanley Cavell

In A Politics of the Ordinary, Thomas Dumm dramatizes how everyday life in the United States intersects with and is influenced by the power of events, on the one hand, and forces of conformity and normalcy on the other. Combining poststructuralist analysis with a sympathetic reading of a strain of American thought that begins with Emerson and culminates in the work of Stanley Cavell, A Politics of the Ordinary investigates incidents from everyday life, political spectacles, and popular culture.

Wether juxtaposing reflections about boredom in rural New Mexico with Emerson's theory of constitutional amendment, Richard Nixon's letter of resignation with Thoreau's writings to overcome quiet desperation, or demonstrating how Disney's Toy Story allegorizes the downsizing of the American white-collar work force, Dumm's constant concern is to show how the ordinary is the primary source of the democratic political imagination.

A very difficult read.......2000-10-25

I am reading this book for a political theory course. It's one of those cases where an academic author simply does not know how to write a book for people other than his highly-specialized theory colleagues. It's a pity, because I suspect that under all of this excessively precious verbiage there are actually some good ideas here.

Insightful, nuanced, and daring account of the ordinary.......1999-08-12

Beautifully written. With an extraordinary delicacy, this provocative inquiry into the political nature of the ordinary underpinning political life expands our thinking about the potential for freedom and democracy in late modernity. It's a remedy to cynicism that may make our hearts sing.

Very accessible and well-written.......1999-01-12

This title is one of Dumm's best. A page-turner, at times lyrical and always very detailed and well-informed, this book should be on the reading list of anyone interested in today's political scene.

Book Description

The sociology of consumption has concentrated unduly on the more spectacular and visual aspects of contemporary consumer behavior, thereby constructing an unbalanced and misleading view. This collection emphasizes ordinary rather than extraordinary items, routine and repetitive behavior rather than conscious decision-making. It studies practical contexts of use rather than decisions to purchase and analyzes collective identification rather than personal identity.
Ordinary Consumption promotes a distinctive approach to the understanding of the central practices of consumer society, it is a book with a controversial message, one which will be a source of debate about the appropriate agenda for future research.

Book Description

People ask how I came up with the name The Curmudgeon Report. Well, all the good ones were taken, and I had a deadline for starting a weekly column, which ran for five years in the Jacksonville Daily Progress—that's how. I almost changed the title after I read the dictionary definition of curmudgeon: a crusty, churlish, ill-tempered old man. I never display those qualities unless provoked—like when somebody disagrees with my opinion. Then, I heard the modern definition of curmudgeon: anyone hating hypocrisy and pretense, who can point out the unpleasant or ridiculous in a humorous manner. Now, that's more like it. I first became interested in writing in college and took inspiration from a teacher of creative writing, Dr. Ronald Evans. Dr. Evans gave me the best advice any aspiring writer could ever have: “Dare to dream,” he said, “be curious, and marry rich.”

A wasted opportunity.......2006-11-21

Musician's musician
==============

As anyone likely to be in the market for this book will already know, Nick Drake was possibly unique.

Nic Jones was an astonishingly original guitarist, master of wild tunings; Gordon Lightfoot a consummate songwriter; Art Garfunkel a sensitive and distinctive singer. But none of them combined all these attributes as Nick Drake did. Only Joni Mitchell seems comparable, and she didn't record until her late twenties; Nick made Five Leaves Left when he wasn't even old enough to sign the recording contract, and five years later he was dead.

Nick's music, then, is more than the sum of its parts, the melody, guitar-work, lyrics and voice interweaving to produce an "emergent phenomenon" -- the Nick Drake magic.

How did he do it? If we expect to find a clue, it should surely be in a book like the present one. Here, however, we have some good news and some bad news. First, the good news.

Contents of the book
===============

Nick's legacy is three studio albums, some alternative- and out-takes, plus a few odds and ends, mostly collected on Time of No Reply. All the tunes from the main albums are notated here including the instrumentals from Bryter Later. There are also five songs from Time of No Reply: the title track, "Rider on the Wheel", "Black Eyed Dog", "Hanging on a Star", and "Voice from a Mountain". "I Was Made to Love Magic", "Joey", "Clothes of Sand", "Mayfair" and "Strange meeting II" are omitted.

The book is intelligently and attractively designed. There is a thoughtful preface by Nick's preferred arranger, Robert Kirby, and then the complete lyrics are given, interspersed with many interesting and unfamiliar family photographs of Nick.

The songs are then presented in staff notation, grouped by album.

Now the bad news. The format throughout -- unfortunately for guitarists -- is vocal line plus piano. Guitar tunings and capo positions are specified, and chord symbols and fretboard diagrams appear above the staff, but there is no tab. Even "Horn", a pure guitar piece, is presented on a piano staff.

Also unfortunately for guitarists , the songs are notated at absolute pitch -- so that (for instance) "The Thoughts of Mary Jane" (which Nick plays in A capo'd at 6) appears in E flat.

And so we come to the crucial question.

How accurate are the transcriptions?
=========================

I haven't yet had a change to work right through the book, but the melody lines appear to be accurate, as do the lyrics -- something one should be able to take for granted, but often can't.

However, the accompaniments are not Nick's but arrangements by one Roger Day (it says in small print at the end). Where the guitar part is easily played on the piano -- as with the aforementioned "Horn" -- they are reasonably close; but this is not often the case with Nick's music. To be brutally frank, many of these arrangements could fairly be called travesties. One of the constant joys of discovering Nick's music, is that if you can only find the right tuning, many of his pieces almost play themselves. But here, most of that is lost.

For instance , "Road" (bizarrely labelled "Radio" on my copy of Pink Moon, incidentally) is a miniature masterpiece; the transcription, however, is a mere shadow of the original, and even the bass line is wrong. Furthermore, I'm not even convinced that the tuning given (DGDDAD capo'd at 4) is correct; it makes parts of the piece (the original, that is) virtually impossible, or at least very difficult. EADEBE capo'd at 2 seems to me more likely, and certainly much easier.

"Horn", on the other hand -- a very simple piece -- is completely accurate.

Summary
=======

If you're a pianist, or if you're just interested in the lyrics and melody lines, then this is a good, even an excellent book.

If you're a guitarist who wants to know what Nick played, however, then things are less rosy. It seems to me that an honest effort has been made to present information for guitarists; but it just isn't adequate.

You can certainly use this book as a starting point. If you have the time, energy and inclination, you can (as I have done, out of curiosity) copy a piano part here into a notation program such as Finale or Sibelius, and transpose it to the original guitar (i.e. sans capo) key. If you keep the voices in separate layers, you can then copy and paste the bass and treble clefs into a single guitar (8vb treble) clef. However, you will not in most cases get a correct guitar part without a lot of tweaking.

"More than accurate"? I think not.

The sad part of all this is that no one can now publish accurate guitar transcriptions without inviting a copyright infringement suit.

Accurate for Guitarists and Other Musicians.......2006-07-27

Trying to transcribe the utterly otherwordly sounds that emanated from Drake's acoustic guitar has proved fruitless to those of us who've attempted to figure out what tunings he uses on a particular track, what kind of guitar (6 or 12 string), what chord voicings/fingerings, etc. Luckily, we now have this book. It's more than accurate, and it has unlocked the secrets of many of the songs that musicians have probably given up trying to learn to play. So invest in this book. It's beautifully produced, also, with a nice layout that includes lyrics and photos.

Also, for guitarists who can't read music, there are chord tabulatures included. From what I can tell, everything is in the right key, and you're also prompted to use a capo on certain songs.

Finally, and just a "good neighbor" note from a longtime acoustic guitarist, Drake often tuned some of his strings higher (deliberately) to get different open tunings. There are ways around this (like tuning all the strings down a whole step, then slapping on a capo so you'll be in the right key but without the danger of having a taut string snap on you). Be careful if you tune your strings higher than concert pitch because they can break if you play with a lot of attack and rhythm. Use a light touch if you're tuning, say, your D string up a whole step to E, because most guitars aren't designed to hold that kind of tension on the neck, which can slowly begin to bow over time unless you remember to tune all the strings back to concert pitch when you're done.

Best of luck if you take the plunge. It's worth it!

When the day is done, hope so much your race will be all won.......2005-04-28

Great Book of music from a genius that is finally receiving recognition that is 30 years overdue. Although I myself am a Keyboard player, there are still some good arrangements for keys such as Day is Done and Fly. However, many of the pieces, a keyboard player would have to work out for themselves, as Nick Drake on many of his songs, used various guitar tunings, which does change the character of the piece. Overall, this music book is a must for any Nick Drake fan !!

Too many repetitions.......2006-11-15

I was dissapointed by this book. This book is too wordy, using repetition until you get exasperated and wording the paragraphs the longest. At the end you get tired of reading but nothing is left, only fatigue.

Besides the book doesn't have enough examples, and the ones it has are outdated. The book itself is by now outdated although it was written in 2000. The author did made a great investigation on certain subjects but for a designer and programmer like me it doesn't help at all, because I want concrete conclusions.

I don't recommend this book at all unless you like to read literature.

Dear Bill,.......2006-03-02

Bill,

In regard to "The Essential Guide to User Interface Design", 2nd Ed, please note the following:

1) Subject matter poorly organized. No chapter summaries, and the "overview" of the chapter is wordy, and doesn't directly link itself to details in the chapter, but rather vaguely talks about the chapter in ambiguous terms.

Action needed: Concise summaries and overviews, bulleted, using the same terminology as the chapter body.

2) Section and paragraph headings use the same font type and nearly the same font size. Distiguishing between a main heading and a subheading is nigh impossible. Juxtaposing the thick lines for sub headings and thin lines for main headings give the impression of similar importance, and destroys the coherency of each main subject.

Action needed: Double under-lines for main headings. Make them thicker as well. Single thin underlines for subheadings. A significant font size change between headings, subheadings, and lists. Italicize the list headings.

3) Repetitous material. The division of your topics, rahter than taking a top-down view and noting similarities of each component, you have taken a bottom up view and established a need to repeat material that applies to all topics. As an example, you have (paraphrased) said "control a can needs consistency. THis is how it is achieved." Rather than "All controls need consistency. here is how to acieve it in all situations"

Action needed: Divide the theory from the practice. Place general information (consistency, symmetry, readability, standardization, etc.) in one discinct portion of the book. Place the control explanations and tips in another. Also, quit utilizing synonyms as separate topics. Symmetry is Balance. Standardization is consistency. Stop taking single topics, finding synonyms, and writing on each one.

4) The lack of cited material in your text is disturbing. Your references pages are extensive, but no real effort has been made to link the material to the references.

Action needed: Put in-text citations.

5) Use the power point presentations to hightlight the text, not repeat it word for word.

I bought you book in new condition (never used) for less than ten dollars. I have no idea why the instructor chose it. It is painfully obvious that the instructor has no real world programming experience. It is also obvious that while you have a pedigree printed in your introduction, you have little actual coding or direct design experience. For someone that is supposed to specialize in media communications, your text is very poorly done.

Sincerely,

Jared Davis

This book should have been under 200 pages .........2004-01-09

There is useful information in this book but it
could have been said in about 1/10 of the space.
Concept are repeated ad nauseum. And author uses
ancient GUI styles for examples instead of current
ones. Extremely painful to read.

Required for anyone who is serious about interface design.......2003-01-16

The field of interface and interaction design is formally known as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). It is significant that a large amount of HCI deals with non-programming issues such as psychological approaches to end-user experience, social manners of the audience, and more. The Essential Guide to User Interface Design provide a comprehensive overview of the essentials of interface design.

The Essential Guide to User Interface Design focuses on the actual design of the GUI. While Interaction Design: Beyond Human-Computer Interaction explains why a user may react a specific way to a GUI, The Essential Guide to User Interface Design details the principles and techniques effective for GUI design. Although the book does focus on end-user interaction with systems, the bulk of the book focuses on the actual interface design and layout.

The book provides numerous examples of how small changes can affect end-user productivity, including how the selection of the appropriate component can be used to make a more efficient application. From a business perspective, Chapter 1 shows how one company saved a fortune in operational costs by simply redesigning one window in their application. While ROI is generally not a case for better GUI design, it is a compelling byproduct, nonetheless.

The book is divided into two parts. The first two chapters make up Part 1 and provide an overview of the importance of the user interface. The basics of HCI and GUIs are also detailed in this section.

Part 2 constitutes the bulk of the book (Chapters 3 through 16). In Part 2, the author describes 14 steps involved with the user interface design process. Steps 1 and 2 involve understanding who the end user is and the business function. Steps 3 - 14 go into the nitty gritty of interface design and address menus, windows, control selections, text and messages, and more. The Essential Guide to User Interface Design also provides screen shots that illustrate how to properly design effective user interfaces.

A Worthwhile New Edition.......2002-06-05

I'd owned the first edition, and this new edition has been thoroughly updated to cover Web design. I'd highly recommend this, especially for developers who are starting out to create their first user interface--though I've got to say, even I learned a lot from the detailed, real-world examples the author provides. Well worth the price of entry!
