Book Description
"Engaging--. Terrific--. Takes us over the collar line with grace and authority."--The New York Times
As a veteran reporter throughout the "downsizing" years of the auto industry in the United States and Canada, Queens-born Solange De Santis covered her fair share of auto plant closings, but almost always from the management's point of view. That is, until this mid-career, mid-thirties, Ivy League-educated journalist quit her job to become an assembly-line autoworker.
She was hired at a doomed General Motors plant, and quickly learned about the bone-crushing realities and mitigated rewards of hard, physical work. In
Life on the Line, De Santis offers a glimpse into a world that too many of us shy away from acknowledging, even as we accept the keys to our new cars. Completely candid, and as unexpectedly poignant as it is funny,
Life on the Line will change the way you view blue-collar work and the cars on which we all depend.

A lively, informative account.......2005-01-29
Solange de Santis' account of life on a car assembly line is a well-written, informative, page turner, albeit without the edge or the humor of Ben Hamper's "Rivethead." Her drive to understand the lives of people who did not have the privilege of growing up in the middle class is commendable. There is, however, one consequence of her actions that she never seems to contemplate: by choosing to take a job on the line, she in effect took it from another person who did not have the same options and for whom it would have been the best economic opportunity. For me, this phantom was present throughout the book.
Stands with the best works on working........1999-09-25
Solange De Santis was obviously not looking to "rip the lid off" assembly line work when she began either her experience at GM or her book. This is greatly to her credit. LIFE ON THE LINE does all readers the service of allowing them to make up their own minds. The author's point of view develops in the text at the same pace as her time passed on the line.
Crisp and insightful, this book can stand with the best of writing on the subject. The twofold treat is that those with no "shopfloor" experience may come to value more highly those who toil, and those who work on the line may be able to understand that they can be recognized and appreciated by ones not standing next to them in the heat and din.
Brava! From the author's brother.
Rich in detail and anecdote.......1999-07-30
How many Ivy-League educated journalists would be willing to break their backs and go work on the assembly line to relay this story authentically? Very few! This writer does, and so gets to know the tasks, the workers and the business of making vehicles from the most telling perspective of all. Thoroughly familiar with the corporate point of view from years of business writing, De Santis joins those people whose sweat and toil actually build our world. She gives us the private musings and dreams of hardworking folks who didn't get all the breaks in life that she did, and shows their courage and determination to survive the brutal decisions of an unfeeling corporation. It's sad that management just can't understand the rage of these people whose jobs have been given a death sentence for the sake of higher profits, yet who are expected to give 100% down to the last day. But their voices need to be heard.
An insightful look at the life of a line worker........1999-07-27
Ms.De Santis begins with the valid premise that the gulf between white-collar and blue-collar workers in widening, and that it's important for one group to understand the other. From there, she walks her readers through that life with an authenticity that only her real-life experience could provide. Interesting reading for anyone who cares about the present and future of manufacturing in North America.

June 12, 1999 Title: Life on the Line Author: Solange De Santis
After graduating from the highly touted Ivy schools with her master's degree in journalism and a BA in English, Solange De Santis toiled in a very successful white collared workplace. Her fascination though, with "the other side", "the blue collar workers" would somehow overpower all sanity and she would seek out employment in the bowls of the workforce. Her dreams of writing a book and her journalistic past are her rational for exploring her curiosities. Hiding her outstanding employment credentials, she lands an assembler job with General Motor's lisping Scarborough Van plant. Solange, nicknamed Sally by her line mates, would now have 18 months in which to "spy" and compile enough material on life within the plant, before being laid-off, along with its 2,700 strong population. This fascinating account of Sally's perseverance, and demanding requirements associated with manual labor, are truly astonishing. Pushing herself beyond physical limits she thought ever existed, she finds herself becoming attached to her co-workers, "a cog in the wheel". A strong bond develops with her work mates through common hardships somewhat like a "boot camp". Her vivid descriptions of the sites and sounds within the plant and the people she works with have clear images and sounds popping into my head. Her circle of friends, "from all woks of life", are so typical of the many groups within the plant. Reading through her book I find Sally dredging up raw nerve endings I thought were buried long ago, for I am one of the 2,700 employee's of the Scarborough Van Plant that devoted the better part of my working life, along with so many others, to that job, as one of Sally's co-workers, on a different shift, with a different circle of friends, only to find myself one day, writing my resume. This book should appeal to anyone looking for a realistic account of life within those "dark window factories", and the typical "labels" these people are saddled with. Bravo Sally, an outstanding read in contrast to your Wall Street journalism.
Book Description

Book Description
If you have trouble selecting a movie at the video store, do not despair: This smart, portable guide will help you find great movies you’ve probably never seen, both old and new and from every genre. The movies detailed in Great Movies You’ve Probably Missed were simply ahead of their time, had only limited distribution, belonged to another era, or simply were overlooked. Authors Ardis Sillick and Michael McCormick will introduce you to lost classics such as Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation (1974), arguably Coppola’s best film and Gene Hackman’s best role, or Akira Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress (1958), a comedy adventure that George Lucas acknowledges as the inspiration for Star Wars. If you like westerns, there’s Sam Peckinpah’s Ride the High Country (1962). Fans of the horror flick will want to see Bob Balaban’s Parents (1989). And the whole family will enjoy The Brave One (1956), a touching story about a Mexican boy who saves his pet bull from the bullfighting ring. As a bonus, famous writers, critics, and screenwriters, including Greil Marcus, Gay Talese, and Jonathan Yardley, reveal their favorite movies. While Blockbuster offers only the latest from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Julia Roberts and while Leonard Maltin and Roger Ebert encapsulate the good, bad, and indifferent in telephone book–size guides, Great Movies You’ve Probably Missed is an excellent browse for hardcore cinephiles, casual movie buffs, and anyone who would like to be pleasantly surprised at the video store.

Good Reference........2006-11-19
GREAT MOVIES YOU'VE PROBABLY MISSED is a movie reference book put together by Ardis Sillick and Michael McCormick. The book is aimed at people who enjoy watching good movies. It is basically a personal recommendation of good films that a casual film-goer might have missed seeing and/or have never heard of. The book is divided into genres: action/adventure, comedy, documentary, drama, family, fantasy/sci-fi, horror, musicals, mystery/suspense, and westerns. The films are listed in each genre by alphabetical order. Each film is listed with its director, screenwriter, and major cast members, as well as a short synopsis of each film and comments on why they should be seen. As a film lover, I enjoyed pursuing this book. It has become a go-to reference tool when I want to rent a movie and am unsure as to what to rent.

Book Description
From big screens to high-definition, America's obsession with the television started more than 50 years ago when the first TV catalogs and print advertisements began defining the suburban family by the size, color, and features of its television. TV WONDERLAND looks at the unique history of the television through the lens of advertising the campaigns, slogans, and sales pitches revealing the cultural fabric of the time. The centerpiece of the home, the television united families as moms, dads, kids, and sometimes neighbors, too, gathered together to watch their favorite programs. It entertained, it educated, it celebrated the holidays! No wonder it secured a place in the home for so long. The television was a permanent part of the family.

TV Wonderland: The Enchantment of Early Television.......2007-07-16
Do you remember when your family got your first color television set? Do you remember fighting with those silly rabbit ears for hours trying to get a better picture? Do you remember watching Howdy Doody, Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, Bonanza, or The Twilight Zone?
TV Wonderland: The Enchantment of Early Television takes the reader on a tour of remembrance of the early years of television from its conception through its various evolutions such as colour, bigger size, mobility, and cable television to how this invention transformed the average family. On every page, surrounding the text of this book, are the collections of hundreds of television advertisements showing the gradual changes in both television and in advertising. All of these aspects put together bring back long forgotten memories of a slower gentler time in our lives and in our communities.
A TV BOOK ABOUT...TV'S!!!.......2005-07-19
Remember the episode of Seinfeld where Kramer wrote a coffee table book about coffee tables? Well this is a TV book about...TV's. Not TV shows or TV actors, but that glorious box from which we derive so much entertainment. Specifically this is about TV of the 50's and 60's and one of those retro, pop-culture books that Collector's Press does so well. Through this collection of vintage advertising and lively bits of trivia, we see the development of television throughout TV's golden age.
We'll see as TV's develop from tiny 10" screens in mammoth, radio-type cabinets, to 21" color TVs in the 1960's. Along the way you'll revisit long forgotten brands such as Spartan, Capehart Farnsworth, Arvin, Air King, and Crosley. You'll chuckle at what passed for a portable TV with the large, box-like models from Philco and G.E. The ads tell the story of TVs advancement as they tout new antennas designed to give better reception in those pre-cable days and Westinghouse's new models for 1954 which were supposed to cut down on glare if watching in a dark room.
In those days, the TV was as much a part of the décor as any other piece of furniture and manufacturers gave customers a wide selection of different wood cabinets to choose from like cherry and maple. Some even housed radios making the first entertainment centers. TVs came in a rainbow of colors in the 50's and 60's too, especially the portables coming in bright reds, light blues, and yellows. Tacky? You bet...a lot more fun than today's cookie-cutter models.
And don't forget color pictures! TV Wonderland presents the very first color TVs such as the RCA Victor Color which started at a whopping $495.00, quite a sum back in the 1950's. The book is also sprinkled with interesting bits of trivia. As a testament to the popularity of westerns in the early days, during the 1958-1959 TV season seven of the top ten shows were westerns.
This is a marvelous little book. Well written with hundreds of classic advertising that will make you yearn for the days of your black & white Zenith!
Book Description
Ruby is an increasingly popular, fully object-oriented dynamic programming language, hailed by many practitioners as the finest and most useful language available today. When Ruby first burst onto the scene in the Western world, the Pragmatic Programmers were there with the definitive reference manual, Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide.
Now in its second edition, author Dave Thomas has expanded the famous Pickaxe book with over 200 pages of new content, covering all the improved language features of Ruby 1.8 and standard library modules. The Pickaxe contains four major sections:
- An acclaimed tutorial on using Ruby.
- The definitive reference to the language.
- Complete documentation on all built-in classes, modules, and methods
- Complete descriptions of all 98 standard libraries.
If you enjoyed the First Edition, you'll appreciate the expanded content, including enhanced coverage of installation, packaging, documenting Ruby source code, threading and synchronization, and enhancing Ruby's capabilities using C-language extensions. Programming for the World Wide Web is easy in Ruby, with new chapters on XML/RPC, SOAP, distributed Ruby, templating systems, and other web services. There's even a new chapter on unit testing.
This is the definitive reference manual for Ruby, including a description of all the standard library modules, a complete reference to all built-in classes and modules (including more than 250 significant changes since the First Edition). Coverage of other features has grown tremendously, including details on how to harness the sophisticated capabilities of irb, so you can dynamically examine and experiment with your running code. "Ruby is a wonderfully powerful and useful language, and whenever I'm working with it this book is at my side" --Martin Fowler, Chief Scientist, ThoughtWorks
Customer Reviews:
Good, but far from perfect........2007-08-27
This book is a great reference, but the tutorial is somewhat confusing. This has two main reasons:
1. Ruby itself is a somewhat confusing language. Really. Don't believe all the hype surrounding it. I'm not saying it isn't good, but it uses lots of concepts which aren't that common in other languages and the syntax is unnecessarily bizarre sometimes. Python has everything Ruby has, but it's *always* legible, clean and - let's face it - beautiful.
2. The top-down approach of the tutorial isn't efficient if you've never programmed before. I have a good deal of experience with other languages, so it was quite straightforward to me, but if that wasn't the case - and this book is also targeted at the newbie audience - I'd probably be lost sometimes.
That said, this is still THE book to get if you're interested in learning Ruby, at least until someone writes a better one.
Not for a Java programmer.......2007-07-26
Information is set in a haphazard manner. Cannot get a clear picture of how a Ruby program is structured.For ex: Chapter 4 is on "Containers, Blocks, and Iterators". Chapter 7 "Expressions" again has different information on Loops, Iterators, For ... In, Variable Scope, Loops, and Blocks etc.
Great book!.......2007-07-24
I decided to learn Ruby on my own and I'm glad I picked this book. It's very easy to follow and the instructions were very concise. If you're new to programming like myself, this book will be a great help in getting your feet wet.
A classic, a must-have for anyone learning Ruby.......2007-06-27
This is the book which made Ruby popular in America. I like the way they start out talking about blocks and closures early in the book. As the book notes a reviewer said about blocks "This is important!"
You must have one.......2007-06-21
Dave Thomas is surely one of the best writers I've ever seen. He doesn't treat you like an idiot, so it's perfect for experienced programmers to learn very fast many aspects of the Ruby language.
Customer Reviews:
A very informative book!.......2007-09-21
I guess everyone knows or has seen Dolly Parton perform. She knows how to take a lemon and make lemonade out of life's challenges. I highly recommend the reading of this book.
Hoping for a sequel, though.......2007-05-23
The best thing about Dolly Parton's autobio is 'hearing' her VOICE come through the print. Eternally optimistic and carefully eccentric, there's no doubt Parton has one of the most blithesome star qualities in the biz. And why not - it's her business to be so lovable.
While she hedges (considerably) on her 'indentured servitude' with Porter Waggoner and speaks infrequently about her creative process (writing and recording), when she gets a topic that pleases her - such as her childhood exploits - Parton lets go like one of her coolest numbers. Her humanism seems unbounded.
Since the publication of this book, Parton, confounding all reasonable expectations, returned to the studio with a revitalized muse, producing some of her most credible work (Grass Is Blue, and onward). Hopefully, we shall 'hear' Parton speak of her artistic reinvention in a future volume.
A laugh a page.......2007-03-05
I knew Dolly Parton had a good sense of humor but I didn't know it was as far out as it is. Although I've been a fan for a long time, I'm a "lazy" fan and didn't even realize she had an autobiography out there until recently. Just to think I could have been laughing 13 years ago. Duh! If you're feeling down and need a laugh, get this book. Dolly needs her own TV show and if the people who run Hollywood had good sense, she would have had it long ago. Of course, they don't so they would have probably put the wrong writers on it and it would have been cancelled in a week.
Dolly And Friends..........2005-08-05
Dolly had a hard life growing up in the wilds of East Tennessee; she started out poor and indeed did have a 'coat of many colors' as her children's book explained. She wore hand-me-downs in the backwoods of Sevier County where my paternal grandfather's people lived. She's funny. Coming from the country, it took some doing and lots of help to get where she is today. She has re-invented her personality through the years from the young lovesick girl who write 'I Will Always Love You' to Porter Wagoner. After all, she was a young country bumpkin from the Knoxville area, and we inexperienced girls fall hard for the first person we can admire. He gave her the first 'big' break, singing on his show in Nashville.
She had been on local talent shows in Knox County, Cas Walker's for country music. She migrated to Middle Tennessee to sing on the Grand Ole Opry where she met my friend, Hal Durham, who was manager of that fabulous old show on radio, television and live. I once attended at the Ryman and he gave Zachary and me a backstage tour.
In Nashville and in the movies, she had a good life but suffered some setbacks and depression. The two photo secitons show how little Dolly the girl was transformed into Dolly the bombshell blonde. She is the richest person in this area as she owns Dollywood, the major attraction for people from all the states who visit the Great Smoky Mountains and from other countries.
In her 'thanks' section, she included her favorite makeup, Revlon staff, and favorite lingerie shop, Frederick's of Hollywood. She includes Terry Morrow, local entertainment columnist for the News Sentinel daily Knoxville newspaper, and Ligiea Saveanu (whoever she is -- I was going to name my daughter Ligeia). From the Grand Ole Opry performers, she includes Archie Campbell from the famous Civil War area in EAst Tennessee, Bull's Gap, Grant Turner, and Bud Wendell, WSM announcer. Game show hosts were Bob Eubanks and Huell Howser; how could she leave out Wink Martindale and Pat Sajacks, both Tennesseans? For some reason, she included the Knoxville Democrat Party chairman, Jim Gray, Al Gore, Jim Sasser, and Sandra Fulton (wife of Dick Fulton of Nashville). Movie stars included Kevin Costner, Jane Fonda, and Delta Burke, while singers were Mac Davis, Billy Ray Syrus, Whitney Houtston and Reba McEntire. She has Johnny Carson, Eddie Hill, and many many others -- too many to mention.
Like most successful people, she has humility when it comes to feeling indebted to others for her success. She showed he CBS anchor a thing or two when he enterviewed her ans commented on her most obvious attraction. She has talent galore, and I wish Dolly could live forever. She will in the figure on Sevier County Courthouse Lawn, as a young country girl. Dolly is everything to everybody.
*****A Country Superstar!*****.......2005-06-08
Put simply, I LOVE this book! I've just finished reading it for the second time and it's even better than it was the first time.
I read it when it first came out in 1994 and was so jazzed to find it a few weeks ago in a used bookstore. I had a few other things to read before I picked up Dolly, but now that I have, I don't want it to end!
I can't say enough good and great and amazing things about this biography. She wrote it herself and it's honest, down to earth and funny as all get out. Because of it, I even added some more Dolly Parton CD's to my music collection and it was a very much needed trip down memory lane.
Thanks, Dolly, for such an amazing, revealing look at what makes you tick. Now, what I want to know is: when is your next book coming out. :)
Book Description
In September 1781, the captain of the British slave ship Zong ordered 133 slaves thrown overboard, enabling the ship’s owners to file an insurance claim for their lost “cargo.” Accounts of this horrific event quickly became a staple of abolitionist discourse on both sides of the Atlantic. Ian Baucom revisits, in unprecedented detail, the Zong atrocity, the ensuing court cases, reactions to the event and trials, and the business and social dealings of the Liverpool merchants who owned the ship. Drawing on the work of an astonishing array of literary and social theorists, including Walter Benjamin, Giovanni Arrighi, Jacques Derrida, and many others, he argues that the tragedy is central not only to the trans-Atlantic slave trade and the political and cultural archives of the black Atlantic but also to the history of modern capital and ethics. To apprehend the Zong tragedy, Baucom suggests, is not to come to terms with an isolated atrocity but to encounter a logic of violence key to the unfolding history of Atlantic modernity.
Baucom contends that the massacre and the trials that followed it bring to light an Atlantic cycle of capital accumulation based on speculative finance, an economic cycle that has not yet run its course. The extraordinarily abstract nature of today’s finance capital is the late-eighteenth-century system intensified. Yet, as Baucom highlights, since the late 1700s, this rapacious speculative culture has had detractors. He traces the emergence and development of a counter-discourse he calls melancholy realism through abolitionist and human-rights texts, British romantic poetry, Scottish moral philosophy, and the work of late-twentieth-century literary theorists. In revealing how the Zong tragedy resonates within contemporary financial systems and human-rights discourses, Baucom puts forth a deeply compelling, utterly original theory of history: one that insists that an eighteenth-century atrocity is not past but present within the future we now inhabit.
Book Description
For years, scientists and researchers have studied, speculated about, and searched for an enigmatic creature that is legendary in the annals of American folklore. Now, learn the truth about...
BIGFOOT!
In this fascinating and comprehensive look at the fact, fiction, and fable of the North American "Sasquatch," award-winning author Loren Coleman takes readers on a journey into America's biggest mystery -- could an unrecognized "ape" be living in our midst? Drawing on over forty years of investigations, interviews, and fieldwork on these incredible beasts, Coleman explores the modern debates about these powerful, ape-like creatures, why they have remained a mystery for so long, and what we can learn about ourselves from these animals, our nearest cousins!
From reports of Bigfoot's existence found in ancient Native American traditions, to the controversial Patterson-Gimlin film of a Bigfoot in the wild, to today's Internet sites that record the sightings almost as soon as they occur, Coleman uncovers the past, explains the present, and considers the future of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the natural world.
Customer Reviews:
You should own this book........2007-09-06
As with most books by Loren Coleman, this book is very much worth having. Once I got to reading it I had a hard time putting it down. It not only discusses bigfoot but North American Apes. I'm not a big book reviewer who can give an in depth review of what I have read but I can say that if you are into bigfoot and cryptozoology that you will not be disappointed.
Still Going In The 21st Century.......2007-04-17
Long one of the most respected researchers of Bigfoot, Mr. Coleman comes out with one of the best works of the early years of this century on the subject. Many hours of fascinating reading. I can't seem to get enough of this stuff. Though I can't say I agree with him and others recent doubts about the famous Yale, British Columbia capture of "Jacko" back in 1884. A story that always seemed to have a ring of truth to it.
And a big drive, way back, its gone...............2007-01-19
Loren Coleman knocks it out of park with this one. Great job Loren! If you are interested in the mystery of Bigfoot than this book is the one for you my friend...
Cryptozoology Must Have.......2006-11-10
An accessible, interesting read, this book belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in cryptozoology or natural mysteries. Coleman's prose is witty, and down-to-earth. His conclusions are fact-based and logical. The list of Bigfoot "hot spots" is worth the price of the book.
A good book by a man with a passion for the subject.......2006-06-24
Loren Coleman is a writer who believes what he writes, and has spent a life time in persuit of the the truth of bigfoot. I found the book to be well written and informative. It was not a white wash of the subject either. There was enough skeptical information presented in this book to make even hard core believers think hard before accepting rumors and stories as true. The book gave information on various bigfoot like creatures that don't fit the common bigfoot mold, without becoming disjointed. It's a very interesting subject that will never be fully settled until a bigfoot, alive of dead is found and studied

Book Description
We are different between ourselves as individuals. Implications of this fact of Nature permeate all facets of every human society. The book takes a philosophical stance in exploring the implications in democratic and autocratic systems, for the global economy and natural environment, and for the possible future paths of humans on the planet Earth. Specific properties of large dynamic systems play a role in some of the implications.
Customer Reviews:
A work in progress.......2000-10-29
Mr. Shakhmundes has written this book in order to explicate and explore some of his theories about society. The work, as I point out, is not a completed affair - the writing needs work, for instance. Nonetheless, Mr. Shakhmundes is intelligent and generally expresses his ideas with clarity. At times he will also directly address the reader with 'homework' assignments and challenges.
Shakhmundes spends a great deal of time discussing his views on human intelligence, its variance amongst individuals and its limits. Using simplified mathematical modes of expression, he argues that these differences and limitations are an obstacle to any sort of Utopia that can be dreamed of.
Personally, I feel Shakhmundes concentrates too much on the negatives of our differences. Little is said about the similarities that bind us together in the first place. Most distressing about the work is how it raises the question "Is There a Better Organization?" [for society], and subsequently fails to answer the question in any detailed manner.
However, don't let my criticisms deter you from reading. Here is the chance to communicate with a budding author. In fact, that is exactly what Mr. Shakhmundes desires - feedback. And the more the merrier.
