Product Description

What reader has not been inspired by stories of incredible adventures? Author Randy Ellis, an avid runner, became intrigued with the life of Andy Payne, a long distance runner who became a national hero in the 1928 Transcontinental Footrace. The two shared more than a love of running - they were both Cherokee Indians from Oklahoma. When Randy laid plans to recreate the 3,000 mile journey, it took time, money, commitment and especially faith. The book relates the amazing stories of two men with dreams and a deep desire to glorify God. This is the perfect gift for anyone who needs encouragement to stay in the race.

Simply Outstanding.......2000-10-05

I'm an aspiring promoter and I found this book simply outstanding. This book gave me a vivid picture on how to put on a fund raising event. It was very easy to read and gives valuable information for organizations to build a fund raising concert. I really don't like to read and I found Mr Hollan's personal experiences very interesting. I was further intrigue by the planning and professionalism outline in each chapter. For anyone wishing to put on a fundraising concert, I highly recommend this book. Thanks Mr. Hollan for writing such a great book!

I LOVE CHER.......1999-10-28

I love cher's concert book becouse i love her and i love her concerts.cher is a GREAT person to be a singer,a acter,and to make her own books. Cher was so luck do be married to Sonny.

Everything an organization needs to know about concerts!.......1999-08-24

The author dispenses a complete and concise guide that can be used by any organization in planning the benefit concert. The arrangement of chapters allows the committee to walk through the process knowing full well what is involved. Hollan's sense of humor is evident throughout the book and it is apparent that he has an uncanny ability to attend to detail without losing sight of the goal. Much of the book can be used by individuals or organizations in planning events other than concerts; his tips for dealing with sponsors and the media are very helpful. A great resource for any event planner!

Profit from your concert.......1999-08-23

The concert book is a must read for fund raisers. The author's practical experience and easy to read style will jump start your fund raising campaign to new heights.

Book Description

This volume is specifically designed to assist the library media specialist in developing skills for project proposal writing. Blanche Woolls meticulously covers all steps, from developing an idea, finding a source of funding, writing and submitting a proposal, through managing a resource project. Beginning with an overview of the current funding situation, Woolls moves to the proposal itself. She discusses such aspects as stating a need, writing goals and objectives, and covers topics such as choosing personnel, itemizing the budget, evaluating the project, and reviewing the proposal itself. Woolls includes a discussion of funding sources other than government agencies, in which she provides suggestions for approaching private foundations and corporations. A bibliography and three appendixes concerning project management appear at the end of the book. Included among them are sample proposals which will serve as excellent models for new project proposals writers.

Book Description

This volume provides information on the history and operation of major foundations located outside the United States. Unlike statistical directories covering foreign foundations, this book treats the most important foundations in thirty-one different countries and provides historical essays often written by the respective officers themselves. As one of the very few book-length accounts of international foundations in English, the volume offers not only essential data on individual organizations, but a platform for comparing the structure and function of various foundations as well. The book is made up of 146 historical sketches of the most significant foundations in thirty-one countries, categorized by type as independent, corporation-sponsored, community, or operating. Approximately half of the sketches were provided by persons within the foundations, while the remaining ones were derived from histories and reports, correspondence, interviews, and other research. Each sketch contains basic information on the founding, purpose, activities, financing, governance, and location of a foundation, to the extent that it was available. Also included are three appendices, which provide topical and chronological listings of the institutions. In addition, bibliographical references to sources utilized and references for further reading are supplied at the end of each sketch. The volume will be a valuable reference source for foundations throughout the world, government agencies and college and university administrators, and public and academic libraries. It will also be relevant to courses in the history of philanthropy and intellectual and social history.

Book Description

Alternately idolized and derided, Morrissey is perhaps the only English pop star to have successfully created his own culture: an eccentric world of foibles, insuppressible opinions, and bizarre obsessions. He claims to have loved rarely, and despite leading an intensely private life, his sexuality has been the subject of acres of press coverage. The Smiths were one of the last of the great British rock bands, their wry, disaffected tunes sung by Morrissey in a haunting, melancholic voice. After the Smiths disbanded in 1987, Morrissey went on to a successful solo career. In this biography, complete with a discography, David Bret talks to friends and colleagues about one of music’s most iconic and enigmatic figures.

Customer Reviews:

Dreadful.......2007-09-20

There is little I can add about this dreadfully written and obviously lacking in research cut and paste 'biography' that hasn't already been said by the previous two reviewers, except to say that are both absolutely correct in their observations.

Along with all of the already mentioned faults in this book there are a number of factual inaccuracies (Gary Numan as the frontman for Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark? - I don't think so), no involvement or interviews with anyone remotely close to the book's subject and the irritating and persistent looming presence of the author's ego, all of which combine to make this an unsatisfactory read for even the most casual of Morrissey fans.

As one review notes, the book tells us more about the author than it does about the subject. Unfortunately the things it does reveal about the author are things which any well-balanced person would probably prefer to keep quiet and which I, as a reader, would definitely prefer not to know.

You'll learn a lot about Barbara and David Bret (the author)!.......2006-05-07

This wasn't awful...you will learn a bit more about Morrissey, but there was a lot of annoying filler in between. The author is obsessed with letting people know that he's quite fluent in French and proceeds to tell you all the translations he's made for Barbara,that some play that Barbara was in had a character named afer HIM, that one time Morrissey went looking for him and wife (possibly while watching Barbara) etc etc. He tries to make it subtle...but it's obvious and just annoying. One of the chapter names is in French, which is ridiculous because the reference is to a French book...so even if you understand French a bit, you won't get what Bret is talking about. All of this adds up and becomes incredibly distracting.

As I said before, you do get a bit of a Morrissey overview, I'm not sure how accurate it all is but he does give some good Moz quotes here and there...although 99% all appear to come from the magazine Les Inrockuptibles. He also goes over a few of Morrissey's songs and albums, but I was a bit dissapointed with his analyses quite a few times. For example, Bret calls "The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get" a love song. This is possible, but the more common view is that this song is about trying to freak out Mike Joyce...no mention whatsoever about this from Bret.

I give it 3 stars because it's not an awful biography, and the writing isn't too bad...but Bret comes off as a pretentious, annoying guy who likes to blow his own trumpet way too overtly. I'd give it 2 1/2 if possible.

Lamentable.......2006-03-25

I am a keen reader of music biographies, and this without a doubt or even a close contender, absolutely the worst I have ever read. The subject of the book is fascinating, it is the author that is the problem here.

David Bret is surely the most pretentious man to have ever put pen to paper. He doesn't seem to feel that a page is complete unless it has at least one "phrase francaise" in italics on it, where surely the English word would suffice. I speak French, so I can understand him, even though I find it extremely frustrating, but not everyone with an interest in Morrissey is bilingual and this is extremely alienating to the reader. It doesn't stop there though. Despite Bret's assertion that Morrissey doesn't speak a word of French, "not even a `merci' in-between songs at a concert", he gives Chapter 6 a French title- "On ne badine pas avec l'amour". Quite why this is appropriate for an English language biography on Morrissey is beyond me frankly. All I can think of is that David Bret wants the whole world to know that he can speak French. Well done David, give yourself a pat on the back.

Throughout the book he constantly creates comparisons between Morrissey and the French singers (and friends of David Bret), Edith Piaf (who I have at least heard of) and Barbara (who???) which quite frankly do not appear to be there. In my opinion, the low point of the book is when he claims that, "Few songs better sum up Morrissey's life than [.....] `There's a place in hell for me and my friends', later adapted into French by this author for Barbara" and then proceeds to quote his French translation rather than Morrissey's own words!!!! This sort of self-indulgence is absolutely inexcusable.
Another exercise in self-indulgence comes at the start of Chapter 5. Each chapter starts with a quote, usually from Morrissey himself or from a music journalist, but in Chapter 5 we are treated to a quote by none other than Mr David Bret!! This is surely journalism at its absolute worst.

It's not even as is there is a decent biography lurking underneath all the pretension. A few dates, excruciatingly dull descriptions of certain concerts in minute details, and a frankly boring analysis of Morrissey's songs is pretty much all there is to this lamentable biography. The whole book tells us far more about the author than it does about Morrissey, it is littered with his own opinions, such as the pointless part where he informs us what his second favourite Morrissey song is, yet strangely without ever mentioning his favourite, he tells about his own godmother and about how the famous Barbara named a character in a play after him, yet it is very thin on actual content.
He mentions an interview that Morrissey did with a magazine that was successful due to "the fact that [the journalist] published his comments verbatim [...] without attempting to draw attention to himself, as too often happens with the music press"
Surely this must have been written with a trace of irony, as this book is the worst example that I have ever seen of an author being more concerned about drawing attention to himself than his subject.

Then of course there is the issue of sexuality. Looking at reviews of David Bret's other books seems to suggest that he has a certain fascination with homosexuality and bisexuality, so of course he has a field day with Morrissey, going over throwaway comments and hearsay repeatedly, without of course managing to draw any conclusions.

All in all this is a deeply unsatisfying attempt at a biography. In the first half of the book he jumps around from the 80's to the 90's and then back again, until you have no clue where you are, and then in the second half he seems to just rush through it as if desperate to finish. Maybe he was getting as bored of it as I was. His research seems to have extended only to looking under his bed through all his back issues of a certain French rock magazine and picking out quotes from Morrissey, and he has certainly never spoken to the man himself. He actually includes a quote from Morrissey talking about the first edition of this book when it came out, "It's unsettling to read supposedly factual accounts of you and your life from people who have never come within twenty feet of you"

Although after reading this book I feel I know absolutely nothing at all about Morrissey, I am absolutely certain he would LOATHE both the book and its author.
David Bret is too obsessed with himself, Barbara, and the fact that he can speak French to actually engage us or tell us anything we want to know. Oh yes, and the `extensive' discography at the back doesn't even contain Vauxhall and I. Utterly pathetic.

Best book by far.......2005-12-21

This book has everything: song lyrics, recipes, dance moves, stories to read, art projects, hanukkah blessings. Very recommended.

For the whole family!.......2000-12-30

My husband is Jewish, but I and my son are not, so as we celebrated Hanukkah this year, we wanted to get a book that would be interesting to everyone. We originally found the book at the library. It is wonderful book and has everything we were looking for: music (Hannukah songs and the tunes for the blessings), poems, stories, recipes, games and of course the Blessings with the words in both English and Hebrew. The illustrations are colorful and really reflect the joy of Hanukkah. We liked it so much that we purchased it so that we can make it a part of our Hanukkah tradition.
