    Book Description

    Goal-directed movement is central to the relationship between brain and behavior in humans and other animals. This book presents a detailed investigation of the topic, one that integrates psychology and physiology. The author's account is based on a large body of experimental data from human
    and animal work, with particular emphasis on clinical cases. It probes such questions as: Are complex movements organized on the same mode as simple ones? How rigidly organized are coordinated actions like orienting or grasping? Where do visual feedback signals arise? The author's work takes
    into account the growing acceptance of the idea that movements are not directly dependent upon sensory events, but that they are governed by internal representations which are built according to specific, experimentally accessible rules.

    5 out of 5 stars State Park Guide.......2007-09-19

    This book is a great tool for planning driving trips in the United States. A companion to National Parks of the United States, National Geographic has done a great job with descriptions, points of interest, directions, and contact information for the significant State Parks. We don't travel without these two books!

    2 out of 5 stars A Little Disappointed.......2005-10-08

    The book read like an advertisement, and did not include all of the State Parks. I returned it. There were a lot of pretty pictures, though.

    5 out of 5 stars The book to count on when choosing a place to camp........2004-11-17

    This book is outstanding. If you are looking for some of the most beautiful and pristine places to camp in the U.S. this is a great resource. We traveled around the U.S. for 3 months and used this book to help us determine where to go in each state. We were never dissapointed. The information is clearly presented and the editors choose the best of the best in terms of natural beauty!

    This book gave me even more valuable information than I anticipated. I recommend it for anyone who may want to write and get published in magazines.

    5 out of 5 stars Essential resource for freelancers.......2006-07-04

    The "Writer's Digest Handbook of Magazine Article Writing" takes information from a wide variety of highly successful freelance writers and edits it together into a seamless instructional manual. It starts off with a discussion of finding ideas that addresses more than inspiration--it delves into methods to find topics that will sell. "Querying" and "Finding Markets" teach you to pick markets for your work and get assignments from them. "Selling Reprints and Rewrites" and "Business and Rights-Related Issues" help you to understand what your work is worth to whom, and how to make sure it remains worth as much as possible to you.

    "Researching" and "Interviewing" get you through the information-gathering phase, which can take longer than the actual writing. "Avoiding Problems" helps you to avoid accidental plagiarism and similar legal problems. "Writing Techniques and Revision" deals with general issues of writing magazine articles, while "How to Write Common Articles" delves into specifics on article types such as profiles, roundups, how-to articles, service journalism, art-of-living articles, and even pieces for children's magazines. "Working With an Editor" shepherds you through the relationships that will make or break your career.

    Because the book gets into so many specifics (there's even a sidebar on writing book reviews!) regarding particular article types and so on, you're likely to find it useful even if you've already done some magazine freelancing. It's so helpful to know all the little rules of thumb and instructions regarding different types of articles, not to mention what editors are looking for and get the least of in their submission piles.

    The chapter on working with editors presents particularly valuable information in a remarkably even-handed and balanced format. It presents a number of ways to maintain a good relationship with your editor, and these tips are useful and specific. A "damage control" section is included, since everyone runs into trouble now and then despite the best of intentions. There's information on "problem editors" to watch out for and how to best work with (or avoid) them, as well as types of writers that editors hate to find themselves working with and how you can avoid being one of these writers.

    Quotes from freelancers and editors liven things up and bring a personal touch to the book. Clear, bulleted lists of helpful points are balanced by enough detail to make sure that you can figure out what you're doing in specific circumstances. The information presented is broad enough to be applicable to any sort of magazine freelancer, and specific enough to be applicable to every sort of magazine freelancer.

    This handbook, put together by the editors of Writer's Digest, covers soup-to-nuts terrain for anyone contemplating--or already a few steps down--the road to a part- or full-time living off freelance writing. Topics covered include breaking in (and cultivating editors once you have), tax tips, and even time management so you can get that scribing done. What this book is not is a market guide--there's no contact information in here for editors, magazines, and the like. But this tome will have you more focused, with sights set, when that contact information is on your desk.

    5 out of 5 stars Making Money Freelance Writing.......2007-04-18

    The Writer's Digest Handbook of Making Money Freelance Writing, from the editors of Writer's Digest magazine, offers insight for writers seeking to turn to a freelance writing career.

    For those starting out in the business, or those looking for inspiration from other freelance writers, this book offers information from various authors on how to keep the money flowing in; how to call an editor; guide to copyright, work for hire situations; the art of negotiation; how to make time for writing; beating taxes; work expenses and so on.

    There are three sections in the book covering the above aspects and many more: Section 1- Conducting the Freelance Business, lists twenty-two articles on how to bring in the money, tips for the beginning freelancer, setting your rates, billing your clients, tax tips, making a full-time impression even though you are a part-time writer, and many more.

    When I started my freelance career, the most important article to me in this section was, "Four Tips for Beginning Freelancers", by Liza Galin Asher.

    In her article, Liza reveals some good tips for new freelancers to keep them on the right path. The first tip, Writing is a business, she talks about how freelancers are actually like salespeople only their ideas are their "products". This really is key to remember because if a freelancer doesn't work selling their written work, their talent and creativity will not be printed and thus, will go unnoticed. The more experience the freelancer gets in selling their work as well as writing it, they will become more proficient and will not have to focus so much on selling their work.

    Think small and Local. Here Liza urges the freelancer to remember their goal is to get published and to jump to writing articles for big time magazines like Vanity Fair, or Vogue. Freelancers should start out writing for newspapers, trade newspapers and magazines in their neighborhood. It is good to start small and work your way up.

    Liza says the best way to get the most out of what you write is to keep re-selling the articles you have already written. Once you sell and article, go back to it and re-write it with a new angle and submit it elsewhere. An article is never retired so long as you can keep putting a new spin on it each time your write, or add important information that has recently become available. Also keep in mind to resubmit rejected articles to other publications. Just because one place didn't find a need for your work, doesn't mean someone else will reject you.

    Lastly, Liza reminds novice freelancers that just because you sold your first piece, doesn't mean it is time to quite your job. The freelance writing life is uncertain and there are many lulls from when you make your first sale until the next time you make a sale. She does mention that if your salary from freelancing makes at least fifty percent of your regular job's salary, then you would probably be safe in quitting your real job.

    Section 2 - Freelance Opportunities, lists fifteen articles on: the market for writers, expenses, work for hire, ghostwriting, using pictures with work, as well as a few others.

    One good article from this sections is Dennis E. Hensley's "Simple Steps to Multiple Marketing". Here Dennis, lists the various levels of smallest local publishers to the largest circulation periodicals as well as their pay ranges.

    He also talks about the four requirements freelancers must have in order to sell their work to more than one editor. Freelancers should make sure their previous work doesn't overlap too much with the reprint readers market's audience. He states how he did this by selling a piece to Detroit Free Press and then selling the same piece to The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel as people in Indian didn't receive the Detroit Free Press.

    When you are selling the same piece of writing to a different editor than you did before, be sure to send in different photos than you sent in last time with the submission. This will offer a new visual perspective to readers who may have already read the article somewhere else. Yet, if you don't have new photos, it is best to send in the same photos you used before with the manuscript than to send in no photos at all.

    When you are writing for a new publication, freelancers should re-write their article in the style of their target market. Freelancer should study any back issues they can get in order to determine the correct tone and slant to use when re-working their piece.

    Adding news items relevant to your readers is also a good idea.

    Hensley urges writers to remember to sell only their one time rights as selling all rights, removes the author's say in how their work is used. The author also will not be able to use that work elsewhere.

    Lastly, Hensley talks about seven ways for freelancers to get multiple sales from their work.

    Section 3 - The Freelancer's Lifestyle, has eleven articles covering the topics of: making time to write, home office, handling distractions and interruptions, quitting your day job and so on.

    The most important issue I find among people who like to write is finding the time to do so. Robyn Carr's article "How to Make Time to Write" approaches this obstacle. She talks about how some people don't sit down to write because of the lack of time. They don't want to start writing in fear that they may not have time to continue the following day. Other reasons include being too exhausted at the end of days work to think straight and many writers fear they will be interrupted when they do sit down and begin scratching pen to paper, or typing on their computers.

    As well as their being many reasons not to write, Robyn also talks about different kinds of writers such as all-or-nothing writer, scheduled writer, catch-as-can writer, and the super writer. No matter what kind of writer you are, you probably have a busy schedule that either includes a little time for writing, or none at all. Robyn suggests rearranging your schedule to fit writing time when it will not be of an inconvenience to your spouse, your boss, etc. For example, you can write a bit before going into work, on your lunch break, or before bed. If rearranging your schedule doesn't work, try taking time from something else you are doing, but may not be enjoying as much.

    Though writing is important, Robyn makes sure her readers understand that writing is not more important than the job that brings in steady cash flow; it's not more important than you marriage or your children. It's all about balance and finding what works for you and your family.

    There are many more great articles in Making Money Freelance Writing, that will be helpful for the novice freelancer. The information is invaluable in educating any freelancer as well as keeping them on the right track. I highly recommend reading this book if you are a freelancer in search of insightful articles from other authors in your field who have been where you are and understand the situations you may be facing.

    4 out of 5 stars Outdated but still applicable........2007-03-14

    The most striking thing about WRITER'S DIGEST HANDBOOK OF MAKING MONEY FREELANCE WRITING, is that more than ten years after publication, it is comically out dated. More on that later. The introduction tells us this is a collection of the best questions asked by readers and answers provided by Writer's Digest members on how to make money in the writing game.

    As one would expect, the articles are impeccably well written. The book is exceptional in its progression and layout, divided into three sections; Conducting the Freelance Business, Freelance Opportunities, and The Freelancer's Lifestyle. No, that last section has nothing to do with golfing, cocktail parties or cruising the Caribbean. It is a compilation of articles regarding setting up your office space, when to quit your day job, finding time to write and other such topics.

    The book is now more than ten years old and, let's face it, technology has come a long way in a decade. The reader will chuckle when reading that making phone calls while holding down a job should be avoided. Instead one should use a nearby payphone during their lunch break. Good luck finding a pay phone these days. Many of these articles are similarly out dated, but still contain relevant value when placed into context.

    There are a few articles here that have withstood the test of time and still give this book marketability today. I found particularly interesting and informative, an article by John Wilson on reslanting your work for multiple sales; a short piece by Linda Brodsky titled Writing the Copy; and the crème de la crème, Big Bucks in Business Writing by Robert Bly. This is one of three articles by Bly.

    Though not exactly hot off the press, a handful of articles found here make this book relevant and applicable even today. This will not make your top ten list, but you will learn from it if you want to invest a little time here.

        Finding success peddling words to magazines doesn't have to begin as a starving-artist-in-the-garret existence of firing ignorant queries into the void and counting on raw talent and blind luck to see you through. Jean Fredette's handbook should be up there with the dictionary and thesaurus for any would-be feature writer. With 33 experts sharing advice on everything from killer queries to manuscript mechanics and resell etiquette, the Handbook of Magazine Article Writing is a far better choice than one of those how-to-be-a-writer seminars, and has more valuable information on hand at a better price.

        5 out of 5 stars Review by Irene Watson, author of "The Sitting Swing.".......2005-11-12

        A classic book that should be kept and used by anyone wanting to write an article for publication. This book gives more "how to" than any other book I've seen on the market.

        5 out of 5 stars Same Answers to the Same Questions From Another Generation.......2004-01-11

        Handbook of Magazine Article Writing answers often sought-after questions, such as:
        - What do editors look for in your work?
        - Is a cover letter always essential?
        - Can you sell the exact same article a number of times within certain groups of publications?
        - And, How do you keep your readers reading?

        With 33 experts, including Don McKinney, James Morgan, Lois Duncan, John Brady, and Candy Schulman, this book proffers advice on everything from queries to the mechanics of writing an article. With so much talent packed into this 246-page book, the difficulty of publishing a newer edition is understandable. However, this book would benefit if it were brought into the age of the Internet.

        If you are looking for the basics on article writing, and want it only from the masters of manuscript, then the Handbook of Magazine Article Writing is for you!

        1 out of 5 stars Worst Book EVER read.......2002-10-21

        This book is writen by a series of authors. Each chapter is written by a single author, and each write about a single theme. However the chapters are too shallow. No good substance found for a serious person trying to write a good article that may be a good candidate for publishing. The autors are more interested in telling how good they are (in their own perspective) than willing to teach anyone about their supposed knowledge.

        3 out of 5 stars A good read but not very informative.......2002-04-10

        This book was easy to read and had some valuable information but skipped over a lot of the nuts and bolts. I would pass on it next time.

        The 2,000 cuts offered here are a fine example of the craftsmanship and quality that imbued early advertising with its classic and lasting appeal. Editor Leslie Cabarga has choosen a stunning variety of images that are free to reproduce, making this book ideal for graphic designers and advertising departments. The cuts themselves offer a wide range of themes, from recreation to business and back again, and are appealing for both their technical production and kitsch value. The book's only failing is it's use of space: some of the images are packed too densely, making their use a bit tricky. Overall, though, a wonderful book.

        2 out of 5 stars BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE GETTING.......2000-02-23

        I was very disappointed with the book. Apparently it's part of a series and has a cookie cutter feel. After the part about Dachshunds (maybe 1/2), the rest is generic dog information. I really wanted more about the topic in the title. The title is a bit deceiving - so don't expect too much.

        5 out of 5 stars A Must Have Book.......1999-01-05

        This is one of the best I have read. Dealing with everything you need to know, from getting prepared to an emergency. With every suggestion, there is an answer, and some of her personal experiences. A well written book for all dachshund owners, or visa-versa.

        5 out of 5 stars Great book for new dachshund puppy owners.......1998-01-10

        The book is a good general information source for all Dashchund owners. The introduction is very well written. How to care, feed and groom your Doxie is well presented. The Basic Training and the health section is a must for first time dachshund owners. To assist the purchasers of my litter of puppies, I will present a copy of the book to each family to help answer questions they will encounter in the training and care of their new puppy.

        5 out of 5 stars authors comments!.......2000-04-21

        Few dolls speak of childhood like the Ginny doll. As a young toddler in the 1950s, Ginny the character, was a spokesperson for her generation. In the days when children played in the present with dolls that represented themselves, Ginny doll was always a favorite. Her wardrobe, accessories and study construction has made her a living legend that still continues today. The Ginny doll is a part of the American heritage of dolls. I hope you enjoy this book as it is a chapter of Americana that we never want to forget. A. Glenn Mandeville
