Berlitz Guide To The Channel Islands...5 stars.......2005-02-24

This very neat little paperback book is a colorful introduction to the Channel Islands, located in the Gulf of St. Malo between England and France. The pictures are wonderful and the text is full of the long and distinguished history of these islands. This book made me want to drop everything and go visit there! Really! Buy a copy of this book today, and maybe you will want to go there too.

A biography for young adults about the famous Confederate general of the American Civil War.......2006-04-11

Robert E. Lee: First Soldier Of The Confederacy is a biography for young adults about the famous Confederate general of the American Civil War, Robert E. Lee. From his early childhood, to the education he sought at West Point Military Academy in order to spare his impoverished mother the expense of paying for his tuition, to his difficult military career and his fateful decision to serve the Confederate army, to the late years of his life, Robert E. Lee: First Soldier Of The Confederacy chronicles the facts about Lee's contribution to history. Biographer Earle Rice Jr. also offers a glimpse into Lee's personality through chosen quotes, such as Lee's admonishment to a young man who thought his time in the army was wasted: "However long you live and whatever you accomplish, you will find that the time you spent in the Confederate army was the most profitably spent portion of your life." Black-and-white as well as color photographs and illustrations add a visual touch to this faithful and highly accessible chronicle of Robert E. Lee's life.

Book Description

A touching and hopeful look at the underworld of the office temp from hilarious author Leslie Carroll.

Meet Alice Finnegan: 30–something, single, and stuck in a cycle of horrific secretarial temp jobs. She's trying to fulfil her childhood ambitions of on–stage stardom while sharing an apartment with her 90–something grandmother, a feisty, funny, former Ziegfeld showgirl.

Along the rocky road to independence Alice encounters a colourful cast of oddballs, nuts, and control freaks (including members of her immediate family). And just to keep life interesting, she succumbs to the pitfalls of office romances and the perils of nasty bosses as she endeavours to keep her sanity intact and make that big break into the spotlights.

Customer Reviews:

More than Fluff!.......2006-02-07

The main character Alice is a struggling actress in New York City. Between auditions she has taken on temp jobs to make ends meet. She is hired at the law firm of Newter & Spade to paraphrase and sum up legal documents. The first day she has already made an impression on her female boss and a male lawyer trying to make partner at the firm. Two people, two different impressions. Alice is caught up in a drama that she didn't know she was starring in or even auditioning for the part, both professionally and personally.

She and her two friends, who are also wannabe actors from college, are getting frustrated that their passion and dreams of acting seems to be stepping from their grasp.

I found this book comforting in the fact that even in this quai-fictional book, life at times can just plain stink and there is now way to map life out.

Very entertaining!.......2005-12-05

Leslie Carroll's exploration of a single woman's professional life and search for romance is intelligently written and touching. Her experiences with temp-agencies in New York City had a frighteningly familiar ring of truth! It's a show-biz novel without the glitz and glamour, but it's also the story of professional struggle that any working woman can relate to, no matter what her career.

Entertaining, serious and witty........2005-08-05

I first read Carroll's Play Dates and loved it. I wanted to read another one of her books and see if she was a one hit wonder or if she had some substance. She is the latter that's for sure! Very talented writed. I'm looking forward to reading her other 2 books.

This books takes us through a journey with Alice and her out-spoken grandmother and Alice's so-called boyfriends. I love how Carroll also inserts summaries into the story and does not give us a day to day basis story. That helps move the story along nicely and yet takes the reader to what is really important.

This book has so many twists and turns and I never saw them coming! That's what kept it interesting and I always wanted to read on and not set the book down.

However, once the play that Alice wanted to audition for was mentioned, I had a funny feeling of what was to come. I wouldn't say it gave it away completely but it steered me in the direction that I thought the series of events would happen and they did.

All in all, great read and fun.

Temp/Actress.......2005-07-12

I found this novel very good. However, we didnt find out if Dan Carpenter was married or if the little girl was his daughter?? or did I sleep through those pages??That character didnt seem to be finished.

The other reviews go in to detail about the book and what it is about so I won't repeat what was already written.

I can't wait to read more books by this author as this one was very enjoyable.

Disappointing .......2004-09-07

I quickly ordered this book after reading the first five pages on Amazon.com, convinced that I would love it. However, I was sorely disappointed. The characters were likeable enough, however too much of the plot was given away on the back cover of the book or by foreshadowing within the book itself. The few details of the story that weren't so easy to guess (or read on the back) were not very exciting. I found myself simply wanting to finish the story, and was never really absorbed by the plot. Very unsatisfying. On a positive note, there were some very amusing parts concerning the main character's daytime jobs -- reminded me of a few of my summer jobs in college! All in all, it was simply average entertainment. I am not sure if I would call it a waste of time, but it was pretty darn close!

A Grand Slam In Laughs.......2007-10-04

A national bestseller when initially published in July 1985, Jay Johnstone - with author Rick Talley - pens a hilarious autobiography on his career in baseball and as one of the game's all-time most creative pranksters.

With chapter titles like, "Jay Johnstone's All-Crazy Team And List Of Bests," "Hey, Some Of My Best Friends Are Crazy" and "Managers I Have Terrorized," Johnstone touches all the bases in his pro career known oftetimes more for his practical jokes than his clutch hits; he was one of the best pinch-hitters ever and shined in tight spots during the championship seasons of the 1978 New York Yankees and 1981 Los Angeles Dodgers.

But the book soars when Johnstone is in his most wackiness. He has taken to the field wearing monster masks, oversized sunglasses and a Star Patrol helmet, exchanged uniforms with a groundskeeper and swept infields during games, was a singer for the Big Blue Wrecking Crew and placed brownies in Steve Garvey's glove.

There are also sections on the high-jinks of other players, including star relief pitcher Moe Drabowsky using the bullpen telephone for more than trying to contact the manager in the dugout. That story alone is worth buying the book.

But through it all, Johnstone loved to play the game, while having a little fun (which is seemingly a missing ingredient in today's MLB): "How will I be remembered? Maybe someday a rookie will hear my name mentioned and say:

'Jay Johnstone? He was so crazy that when he came into the hotel room, his pillow jumped out the window.'

And that kid might have a chance in this game."

Epic baseball storytelling.......2006-04-28

This piece of work along with the follow-up "Over the Edge" is a must read for any baseball afficianato, especially in need of a few genuine good laughs. The way Jay tells a story really puts the reader in the moment and captures the unique humor of the game that seems to have graced years gone by. There are very few characters of the game left in what has become more of a business, but if you ever read "Snake", or Joe Namath's book, you'll love this one.

great baseball book by a funny, interesting man.......1999-12-04

Jay Johnstone memorializes his long and mirthful career for us in this and others of his books. He is a library of humourous stories about baseball, and it would be a cold soul indeed who got through this book without busting a gut laughing.

What makes it especially interesting is that he's by no means a dumb jock/buffoon--he just played one. Also visible is a hardworking, dedicated athlete who wanted very badly to win, and who cares about others--particularly his wife and daughter. When you finish this book you will probably wish you could meet him and just hang out with him.

Book Description

Drinking alcohol can, in rare instances, provoke a temporary psychotic often violent reaction called pathological intoxication. Although it was medically identified in 1869, pathological intoxication has been an enigma to the law for over a century, primarily because the actual medical and psychiatric aspects of the concept have not been adequately explained before. But, as the authors of this volume point out, it is crucial for the defense attorney and the prosecutor to understand whether pathological or ordinary intoxication is involved in a particular case because pathological intoxication furnishes the basis of important and perhaps decisive defense strategies beyond those which derive from ordinary intoxication. This interdisciplinary study provides the first in-depth exploration of both the medical and psychiatric facts underlying the phenomenon of pathological intoxication and explores the suitability of various defense theories. Written especially for practicing criminal defense lawyers, public defenders, prosecutors, and forensic psychiatrists, the volume begins by examining the clinical and experimental evidence of pathological intoxication. In subsequent chapters, the authors alert the attorney to the indications that a defendant should be examined for possible pathological intoxication and include hard-to-find medical sources of support for the concept to persuade courts and prosecutors of its legitimacy. A series of chapters thoroughly explores all the relevant legal defense strategies available in pathological intoxication cases including the defense of automatism, the law of insanity, involuntary intoxication, and diminished capacity and extreme mental and emotional disturbance. Throughout, the authors incorporate both domestic and foreign literature relating to pathological intoxication. The inclusion of ample case examples as well as a wealth of medical and psychiatric data make this book a major contribution to our understanding of both the phenomenon of pathological intoxication and its implications for legal defense strategy.

A necessary read.......2001-02-17

This is a book every teacher should read. It was written honestly and I was quickly absorbed by the teacher's struggle and personal life.

A good honest book.......2001-02-17

This was a humorous look at teaching in South Central Los Angeles. All the struggle and pain comes through but you can't help but laugh at all the troubles. A wonderful read.

Doesn't know where it is going.......2000-10-01

I wonder what the author's goal is in this book? Is she trying to write a Harlequin Romance novel or a tell all story about becoming a teacher in South Central Los Angeles? If she is trying to do the later, then she should have elaborated and described the conditions of the schools, the students, and the problems about being in that system rather than just stick in a few pages in the end about a problem student of hers.

Also, she should have left out all the troubles that she had wearing high heel shoes -- it is just unbelievable that someone wouldn't have anything but high heel shoes (even if they used to work in the corporate world). As well as leaving out all the whining about heavy workloads and confusion on the first few days of school.

In addition to the context problems, the book itself is poorly written and organized.

Finally, on the brighter side -- it could have been an interesting book and the topic should be explored. We need to know what the true state of affairs is in our school system even if it is controversial.

Written in 2002 -- much still holds up in 2006 E360.......2006-06-29

Hi, full disclosure here -- I've also written about this space in several books and reports including the National Assn of Broadcasters MULTIMEDIA 2000 -- HOLLYWOODUSA section I wrote in 1994 and scores of articles for Film & Video Magazine, BUSINESS 2.0 and ad/entertainment trade pubs including HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, digitrends.net and imediaconnection.com where I still write about emerging entertainment platforms. But onto this book. Also I don't thing I've met either of the authors Al or Patricia FYI. Al's a professor of NYU and Patricia is the exec editor of Entertanment Managament magazine which I've never seen -- I'm sure it's good. (Couldn't find a link online) Anyway -- 12 chapters covering such topics as 1) Marketing basics 2) People & players 3) Movies 4) Network TV/Syndicatio/Radio 5) Cable and Satellite & PPV 6) Publishing 7) Music 8)Sports 9) Travel & tourism 10) LBE & experiential branding. I'm writing this the week that NBC decides to advertise on Youtube.com for it's fall shows. And I look in this index and only see about 5 pages for Internet. So take that with a grain of salt...I do LOVE that they include Sports, Travel & Tourism and one of my favorites LBE (location based entertainment & what they call experiential branding). They define the 4C's of Entertainment Marketing as 1) content 2) conduit 3) consumption and 4 convergence....In the new economy many of us believe that the 4C's that matter are a) connectivity, b) community c) commerce and d) content. As one of my pals says -- if you don't put butts in the seats it doesn't matter how cool the convergence is :)) COMMERCE COMMERCE -- making money while you sleep -- either advertising or sponsorship are crucial in the new arena of entertainment marketing. This book gives a great profile of Barry Diller who I believe is one of the old economy gurus who really GOT and GETS the new economy. Eisner and Ovitz are also mentioned-- neither are players anymore and I doubt whether many people want to follow Ovitz path...Disappointed to only see 2 pages on Sponsorship when it is SOOO big -- think NASCAR -- think PIXAR's CARS -- zillions of sponsors Only two pages on merchandising -- which I have to really disagree with -- since Jurassic Park -- most of the major films have made more money with merchandise-- T shirts/licensing etc than with their content! THE INDEX IS GREAT -- the book belongs on your shelf even if it's a bit dated-- good way to see how the world changed between 2002 and 2006 -- 4 years WOW -- now ESPN is on 12 platforms -- ranging from mobile to Internet to Broadband to Satelillite, PPV etc. And of course the rise of social networking -- Myspace.com and Youtube.com are changing how marketing is done daily. Xspace is what many people here in Hollywood call Myspace's promo of X-Men --really awesome promo.

Great breadth of coverage.......2005-12-05

This is a great compendium providing both breadth - film, cable TV, publishing, music, etc. are covered - with perspective since the narration works in recent and long-past history. In the movie section that was of particular interest to me, there was theory and also practical information such as some films aren't shown to press reviewers in advance, which is a sure sign the studio has little confidence in the appeal of these films. Etc. By the way, I'm author of "Marketing to Moviegoers" from Focal Press that covers once slice of "Marketing Revolution's" broad turf.

What a disappointment!.......2005-04-03

The eBook format is a HUGE disappointment. You cannot print anything or extract anything. What a waste. Now I have to buy the hardback, too. . .

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS eBook FORMAT!!!! It is like throwing good money after bad.

From A Former Student.......2003-10-09

This book mirrors the way Al teaches - colorful stories with rich insights into the industry. The book is a must read for anyone interested in the fabulous world of Media and Entertainment. It makes for an easy and fun read; most importantly when you are done, you actually remember what you read!
Al has had an illustrious career that he passionately and enthusiastically shares with his students. Now the rest of the world is privy to his wisdom. Read it, you won't be disappointed.
