                    Book Description

                    What kinds of licensing agreements do librarians, educators, and researchers commonly encounter? How can these best be negotiated? What does all that legalese mean? What do you need from a licensing agreement and how can you get it? Here is a practical guide designed and written to help non-lawyers understand, settle, and respond appropriately to licensing issues for materials in all formats.

                    Includes a checklist containing factors that help you decide whether or not to negotiate an agreement; which types of licensing agreements serve your purpose; what you need in a license (including language never to agree to and clauses that must be there to protect you and your users); model and suggested clauses; answers to frequent questions librarians and educators have about licenses; and an index of licensing terminology.

                                      Reprint of the 1868. Oversized Octavo. London : Trübner, 1868. Revised and enlarged edition. xx, 153 p. The early Greeks were the first civilization to practice a form of Geography that was more than mere map making or cartography. Greek philosophers and scientist were interested in learning about spatial nature of human and physical features found on the Earth. One of the first Greek geographers was Herodotus (circa 484 - 425 BC). Herodotus wrote a number of volumes that described the Human and Physical Geography of the various regions of the Persian Empire. The ancient Greeks were also interested in the form, size, and geometry of the Earth. Aristotle (circa 384 - 322 BC) hypothesized and scientifically demonstrated that the Earth had a spherical shape. Evidence for this idea came from observations of lunar eclipses when the Earth casts its circular shadow on to the moon's surface. The Greek geographer Eratosthenes (circa 276 - 194 BC) was the first who accurately calculated the equatorialcircumference of the Earth to be 40233 kilometers using simple geometric relationships. His intelligent but primitive method was unusually accurate. The equatorial circumference of the Earth using modern satellite technology provides a value of 40072 kilometers. The author has undertaken to collect and submit to a critical review all those treatises and passages in classical literature that make reference to geological observation. For some reason, this work is extremely rare, with only 11 institutional holdings on OLCL.

                                        An author "mythically reminiscent of Robert Asprin"* unleashes a royal pain.

                                        Caroline kissed every frog in the swamp until she found the one that turned into a prince--only Prince Hal isn't the handsome specimen she expected to find. Unless she can learn to love the princely sum of his parts, it'll be unhappily ever after.

                                        I bought this in the 9-12 year old section of a bookstore. I am a mom and I love reading Harry Potter, Series of Unfortunate Events and lots of other fantasy that was traditionaly meant for kids, so I saw this and figured it was another fun fantasy. I was really surprised as I read it. I am not a stick-in-the-mud, but I would never ever let my 9-12 year old read this book. It has references to sex and oral sex and Jew jokes etc. When the girls were talking about oral sex I almost fell out of my chair. Don't get me wrong, this book is truly hilareous and is a fairy tale parody which keeps you reading and wondering how it will all turn out. But if my daughter read it I would die. Not for kids. Great for adults. I'm selling mine so it's not on the bookshelf for my daughter to find. :) Check it out from the library instead.

                                        5 out of 5 stars The elusive good comic fantasy........2006-07-13

                                        John Moore joins the ranks of Terry Pratchett, Mark E. Rogers, Craig Shaw Gardner, Mary Gentle, Ester Freisner, Robert Rankin and Tom Holt(to name a few off the top of my head)in the ranks of writers of good comic fantasy. It's a shame that so few authors can make a living writing comic fantasy and when somebody does it well we should support them and buy buy buy. The Unhandsome Prince even manages to keep you laughing without resorting to the evil practice of the repeated pun. Story telling is an art and John Moore is worth keeping on your must read list.

                                        5 out of 5 stars A Delightful Spoof That is NOT Anti-Semitic.......2006-06-30

                                        There are three princes, Kenny, Jeff, and Hal. It is Kenny, the evil one, who wants to expel the Jews for exactly the same ignoble reasons Ferdinand and Isabella expelled the Jews from Spain, to sieze their assets and get out of paying money owed to them (see Charles Kimball, When Religion Becomes Evil: Five Warning Signs, p. 150). Princes Hal and Jeff get together and foil Kenny's evil plot.

                                        Caroline wanted to marry a Handsome Prince, so, knowing that a prince has been turned into a frog, she systematically kissed every frog in the swamp until, after kissing hundreds of plain frogs, she finally kissed the right one, but Prince Hal is anything but handsome in Caroline's opinion; she considers him "rather dorky," and feels cheated.

                                        Caroline and Hal set out for the royal palace along with Emily, the daughter of the deceased sorceress who cursed Hal to frogdom. After the order of expulsion is rescinded, Caroline persuades prince Jeff, who is about to become the new King, that he should knight a Jewish ally to demonstrate his support of fairness. Hal's comment is priceless; read the book and enjoy it.

                                        The Unhandsome Prince took me by complete surprise. It is hilarious. I'm really glad I picked up this book, because my humor, at least, is fully engaged with this novel.

                                        This book does something I've never seen another fantasy book do: the characters are amazingly modern. The ladies, instead of going out on a noble quest or having some innate, amazing talent, talk about dresses, boys, make-up, and hair. Some of the things they say are absolutely ridiculous and yet so normal that they're downright hilarious. There are a few pokes at modern society that are light-hearted and entertaining, a few more at the timeframe of the book, and definitely some of Mr. Moore's own quirky humor appears and I love it.

                                        The characters, even though they're set up to be like normal teenagers, are extraordinarily charming... perhaps because they don't have the same degree of meanness as the modern teenagers on which they're based. At any rate, I really fell in love with the quirky characters, even some who I thought I would hate in the beginning.

                                        The only thing that disappointed me was the romance. It just isn't at all satisfying. Other than that, this book is a wonderful read. I wish I could say more about the story and its characters, but I honestly don't wish to spoil this novel for future readers. (: At any rate, I'll definitely be reading more by Mr. Moore.

                                        John Moore's The Handsome Prince is best devoured on one happy day so the mood does not dissipate. It is a remarkable blend of opposites in that it maintains all the rather hoary traditions of the fairy tale, but views those traditions through a cynical modern eye. One eye only, you note, because the other is closed in a wink. We all know about the kiss that returns the frog to his human form, but have we ever considered a determined kisser who maps the swamp and sector by sector kisses all the frogs she can find and then releases them in a distant river so she won't have to kiss them twice? She even captures and expels the tadpoles! This is only one of the fairy tale traditions that has been completely changed for us by John Moore's cheerfully jaundiced eye. This was my first of his books, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest.
