The Cagebirds: A Play (Acting Edition)
David Campton Manufacturer: French ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0573033668 |
Customer Reviews:
Worth more than just a read.......2000-03-27
The basic plot of this play is based on the seven deadly sins, although it takes some time to work out which sin the mistress has. These 'birds' are trapped in a cage but are more than happy to be there. Until the Wild One joins them in the cage there is no real communication between the actors, and the play seems a little confusing. However the Wild One begins to bring the depth into the play that is not immediatly apparent in the first few scenes.
With lines such as, 'Remember out there, where the wind blows, and the sun shines, and heat and light and air have nothing to do with central heating or electric lamps or air conditioning.' It is possible to imagine this really happening within a birdcage and one bird desperatly trying to escape while the others are set against it. The one thing that this play will give you to take away, is that everyone is trapped in one way or another, Campton uses the idea of birds trapped in a cage, but it could be anything that traps us.

Cagebirds
David Campton Manufacturer: Samuel French ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: B000H8X8YA |
Product Description
Cast: 8w. In this one act play, a "room" and a "cage" and "people" and "captive birds" become symbols through which to see reality. Six women live in a locked room, each absorbed in her own petty interest and in placating the "Mistress" who takes care of them. Then a "Wild One" is thrust in among them. She talks of breaking out of the room to find freedom. She troubles the others who remain secure in their cage, and they all join against her in the shattering conclusion. An unusual opportunity for 8 actresses. One int. set.

Customer Reviews:
This is verging on being a catalog........2001-05-02
It is well laid out with a section on how to use the book. Most of the pictures are black and white with special designated sections called "Colour Review". There is a periods and styles chart. And lots of advertisements with phone numbers. Various disciplines are covered; some are Irish antiques, carousel animals, Poole pottery, majolica, and ceramics, and French provincial furniture.
I actually obtained it for the section on glass. There are several good descriptions and trademark displays. It mostly targets 18th and 19th century glass. I would like it more if this book had described production methods. However it does cover what it promised "Prices"
Its wonderful........2000-06-16

Book Description
Designing Across Cultures shows designers how to create effective advertisements and designs for other ethnic groups by understanding which symbols, images, colors and typography they find most appealing--and which they don't.Freelancers and graphic design agencies alike will find this book invaluable. It features examples, case studies, before & after comparisons and the dos and don'ts of designing for other cultures. Also included are interviews with heads from some of the leading agencies, providing even more great advice for designers.
Customer Reviews:
What this book is and isn't.......2003-03-07
This book focuses mostly on those who live in "America" who are of different cultures. And that is a good thing.
What would be even more helpful for some of us, is to know how to design for international audiences outside of the US, but then I suppose that would be more than 1 book - more like a whole library of them.
And a further challenge is to be able to design "across cultures" internationally (which seems mostly impossible!)
But there are good, general guidelines which are valuable to those who need to make sure their concepts and designs, don't offend those to whom they wish to express ideas.
GET OUT YOUR LIST AND CHECK IT TWICE.......2002-06-01
The book offers countless insights on reaching specific groups, and warns of pitfalls to avoid. (Having just re-read the chapter on German-Americans I now understand why they kept looking funny at me back in the Old Country.)
Apart from being an indispensable volume for agencies and studios involved in multicultural marketing, it is fascinating reading and food for thought for every designer eager to more fully understand the global facets of our field. ...
Crucial Information for all designers.......2002-05-02
Wake up designers... the U.S. marketplace is no longer Caucasian. If your ads and editorial images are to be successful at gaining market share, then you've got to understand rather than offend. This book will tell you how. ...

5ive
Anna Louise Golden Manufacturer: St. Martin's Paperbacks ProductGroup: Book Binding: Mass Market Paperback ASIN: 0312972253 |
Book Description
Straight From The UKWith bad-boy good looks, talent to burn, and to-die-for English accents, the hottest new British invasion is 5ive, an all-boy band with a new kind of sound. Edgier than the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, 5ive is a powerhouse combination of pop, hip-hop, and rock, with some reggae and rap thrown in.
You've probably heard their cool tunes--like the chartbusting When the Lights Go Out and Slam Dunk (Da Funk)--now author Anna Louise Golden goes into their hearts and souls to find out...what kind of girls make their five hearts skip a beat...the amazing story of their rise to super-stardom...how they almost became the Spice Boys...why they've been branded the Bad Boy band (and whether it's really true)...and much, much more!
Contains 8 pages of fabulous color photos!
Customer Reviews:
Reads Almost Like A Novel.......2001-03-30
The book was written at the start of 1999, when Golden had hopes that Five would someday be big in the U.S. Unfortunately their second album stiffed in the U.S. and Five's manager Bob Herbert died. In a way anyone who reads this book knows how the story ended even though Golden herself did not.
THIS BOOK ROCKS!.......2000-07-02
