Professor loves baseball. Professor feels loss when home team deserts him. Professor moves, divorces, remarries, discovers local minor-league club, winds up on board of directors. Professor turns experience into insightful and engaging memoir of his decade and a half as a part owner of the Class A Waterloo (Iowa) Diamonds, farm team for the Cleveland Indians.
Klinkowitz is quick to point out that owning a minor league franchise is far more work, responsibility, and disappointment than romance portrays it to be. "True," he admits, "we'd acquired our franchise for nothing"--a story in itself--"and had labored mightily to keep it essentially worthless, of value only to ourselves and the thousand or so fans who loved it on a daily basis." Yet, for all the hours vending beer, filling ticket requests, making sense of directives from the parent organization, repairing the team bus, watching his league be encroached upon by slick out-of-town owners in search of that romantic adult fantasy, and, quite literally, fighting city hall, there are more than a fair share of intangible payoffs: retrieving a hitter's first home-run ball, the face of a player when he's called up a rung, the friendships with fans, the sense of civic pride, and the camaraderie with fellow beleaguered owners. In the end, Waterloo sadly loses its team. "Having been proved a busher once again," Klinkowitz muses, "I haven't let this ... humiliation turn me away ... I would have saved them if I could." That he couldn't makes for an emotionally complex, funny, and moving parable. --Jeff Silverman
Book Description
Owning a Piece of the Minors is by and about a man who lived his dream and acquired a baseball team. When Jerry Klinkowitz joined the group that ran the Waterloo, Iowa, Diamonds in the 1970s, ownership of a minor league baseball franchise conferred little mystique. Neglected for a half century, minor league baseball was at best obscure. Yet in the purchase of fantasy, what difference if your desire is out of style?
Klinkowitz continued his work with the Diamonds through the 1980s and much of the 1990s. In Owning a Piece of the Minors, he maps out his personal journey through baseball and probes his fluctuating fortunes and those of his team as he evolves from a fan to a team executive and, most important, to a writer writing about baseball. This baseball story begins with a nine-year-old Klinkowitz who is elated when Milwaukee lures the Braves from Boston; this story of a love affair with baseball might have died—and in fact suffered a ten-year hiatus—when the apostate Braves fled to Atlanta in 1965.
Klinkowitz rediscovered the joy of being at the baseball park when, as a middle-aged professor, he took his own children to the Waterloo Diamonds games. Gradually his involvement with the Diamonds grew deeper until he owned the team. His immersion into team activities was complete, from shagging batting practice and working the beer bar to struggling with the Cleveland Indians and then the San Diego Padres as minor league affiliates to accommodate baseball's resurgence.
Klinkowitz writes of loss—first the Braves and later the Diamonds; of writing baseball fiction; of attending the 1982 World Series back in Milwaukee; of the great old ballparks around the country, including Wrigley, Fenway, and old Comiskey Park; of fictional and factual accounts of how the Diamonds franchise was lost; of friendships among season ticket holders in "Box 28"; and of Mildred Boyenga, the club president and Baseball Woman of the Year. A first-rate stylist, Klinkowitz shows the problems and perks and, most rewarding, the priceless relationships made possible in the world of baseball.

Major overlap!.......2001-03-22
As mentioned in the previous review, this work is a collection of separate essays. Because of that there is a lot of overlap in terms of the stories told. Each essay recaps what the previous essay already recapped, and so on. And on and on. When the author expresses fresh material, the reading is a true pleasure. Therefore, I think these essays would be better digested read separately, ie between readings from another work. I read them straight through and kept getting the feeling that I had heard this story a thousand time before. Also, half of the book is the author critisizing his own work. Is it just me, or does critisizing ones own work, or rather praising one's own work, seem amazingly egocentric?????
Good insider's view..........2001-01-08
...of what it's like to be involved with a small-town minor league baseball team. The author uses humor and sensitivity to capture how his love for baseball as a child - lost for a number of years - was rekindled by his association with the Waterloo, Iowa team. It's a relatively quick and easy read. My only negative, is that because it's a series of independent essays combined in this book, there are a number of redundancies throughout. That is a minor downside however. I plan on reading more by the author.

Book Description
In this pioneering study, Anna Lawton examines the fascinating world of Soviet cinema under Glasnost and Perestroïka. She shows how the reforms that shook the foundations of the Bolshevik state and profoundly affected economic and social structures have been reflected by changes that revolutionized the film industry and in the films the industry produced. Lawton discusses the restructuring of the main institutions governing the industry; the abolition of censorship; the emergence of independent production and distribution systems; the problems connected with the dismantling of the old bureaucratic structure and the implementation of new initiatives. She also surveys the films that remained unscreened for decades for political reasons, films of the new wave that look at the past to search out the truth, and those that record current social ills or conjure up a disquieting image of the future. Together they portray a society in search of its roots and of new directions.

Book Description
Stand-Up Comedy in Theory, or, Abjection in America is the first study of stand-up comedy as a form of art. John Limon appreciates and analyzes the specific practice of stand-up itself, moving beyond theories of the joke, of the comic, and of comedy in general to read stand-up through the lens of literary and cultural theory. Limon argues that stand-up is an artform best defined by its fascination with the abject, Julia Kristeva’s term for those aspects of oneself that are obnoxious to one’s sense of identity but that are nevertheless—like blood, feces, or urine—impossible to jettison once and for all. All of a comedian’s life, Limon asserts, is abject in this sense.
Limon begins with stand-up comics in the 1950s and 1960s—Lenny Bruce, Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Mike Nichols, Elaine May—when the norm of the profession was the Jewish, male, heterosexual comedian. He then moves toward the present with analyses of David Letterman, Richard Pryor, Ellen DeGeneres, and Paula Poundstone. Limon incorporates feminist, race, and queer theories to argue that the “comedification” of America—stand-up comedy’s escape from its narrow origins—involves the repossession by black, female, queer, and Protestant comedians of what was black, female, queer, yet suburbanizing in Jewish, male, heterosexual comedy. Limon’s formal definition of stand-up as abject art thus hinges on his claim that the great American comedians of the 1950s and 1960s located their comedy at the place (which would have been conceived in 1960 as a location between New York City or Chicago and their suburbs) where body is thrown off for the mind and materiality is thrown off for abstraction—at the place, that is, where American abjection has always found its home.
As the first study of its kind, Stand-Up Comedy in Theory, or, Abjection in America will appeal to a wide audience including those interested in cultural studies, Jewish studies, gender and queer theory.

Extremely Well Thought out Book of Essays .......2004-10-15
Beyond John Limon's well-constructed prose, he has a great understanding of his subject matter. I found his thesis for this book of essays fascinating--a cultural connection of Jewish heterosexual males comics of the 1960s (though I believe Bruce experimented sexually), and the pushing of the comedic form as it has influenced the evolution of comedy/satire of today.
His essays on Lenny Bruce and Nichols and May are some of the best writing on these comic/social satirists in print, and great reason to buy this book. His analysis of Elaine May's subtle character work I found extremely insightful, and proved her impact in this male dominated world of humor in the 50s and 60s; she has influenced many through the years, yet is rarely applauded in recent years for she her brilliance and contribution.
BRILLIANT BOOK!.......2003-09-27
There are no words to describe how fantastically astute this book is. John Limon is diabolically intelligent.
Disappointed.......2002-09-12
This book appears to be directed at the PhD, scholarly crowd. Though somewhat overeducated myself, I found its prose, sentence structure and content difficult to decipher without reading various passages multiple times. I gave up.
Though Mr. Limon is undoubtedly a brilliant author, if you're a comic, a comedic writer or an improviser looking for practical advice, you will be disappointed.

Tracking Matching.......2007-09-01
Excellent book with a very easy exposition of photogrammetry an the newest applications it offers. Very good to understand what's behind camera tracking software in the postproduction market.
Its the one.......2007-06-08
If you want to know about "black" art of matchmoving this would be the author and this would the book.
Great for the novice and experienced user........2007-05-31
Recently, I started doing matchmove work again, after a two year break. Before starting the new job, I wanted to brush up by reading this book. This is an excellent reference and I wish I had it when I started matchmoving four years ago. For the novice I can not recommend this book enough. For a manual, this book is easy to read and breaks down all aspects of matchmoving in just 250 pages. I did not go over the tutorials on the CD, I am just reviewing the written portion of the book.
Great overall book.......2007-01-08
The book covers the general theory behind of matchmoving and photogrametry pretty clearly. There's step by step tutorials that guide you thru the matchmove process such as manual and auto tracking. I was a beginer and learned quiet a lot. I only wished he covered more on the interface of matchmover. Still a great book though.
The only Matchmoving book.......2007-01-05
Since this is only the Matchmoving book out there, there not much to say. The book has some really nice tutorials, is clearly written, and once you finish the book you should be able to go out and shoot your own footage for CG animation/fx.
Book Description
An hour-by-hour re-creation of the D-Day invasion and its aftermath, told through new and highly detailed computer-generated maps, explanatory texts, and contemporary photographs.
June 2004 marks the sixtieth anniversary of the largest amphibious military operation in history. D-Day was the culmination of four years of planning and preparation, which had begun in summer 1940 when Britain stood alone and under imminent threat of a German cross-Channel invasion.
This groundbreaking study of D-Day and the subsequent campaign charts the gradual evolution of the invasion plan, encompassing the intelligence efforts, the Anglo-U.S. strategic debate over where the Allies should attack, and the elaborate deception put in place to fool the Germans about the true D-Day objective. The buildup culminates in an hour-by-hour and day-by-day account of the landings by air and by sea on the beaches of Normandy—Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword—and the subsequent grim struggle for six weeks to break through the German defenses.
At the center of this fascinating re-creation of the D-Day invasion are 70 maps in full color, which incorporate the latest computer technology. Many are in fact based on the same maps used by the Allies in 1944. Detailed drawings and 80 photographs, both modern and contemporary to the period, help bring the beaches of Normandy to life. The book also includes contributions by French and German historians.
Featuring:
- Splendid full-color maps with detailed explanatory captions
- Section introductions with comprehensive examinations of how, when, where, why, and who
- An authoritative text by a noted military historian
- 175 illustrations, 70 in color

the d-day atlas.......2006-08-03
great book. good maps & pictures.not as detailed as some other d-day books i have but maps are very good.great add on to other d-day volumes in your library. recomended!
The perfect guide for touring the Normandy battlefields.......2006-07-11
I used this book as my bible during a multi-day tour of the Normandy battlefields. The level of detail and first rate analysis really set this book apart. I carried this book the entire time I was in Northern France and referred to it constantly.
The maps as some of the most beautiful historical maps I have ever seen. They are clear, well designed, and contain a wealth of information. The level of detail is down to small roads and individual building in many maps. So many military history books skimp on maps. The full-color works of art in this book are almost worthy of framing. The author provides great commentary on the strategy and tactics of the invasion. Crisp line drawings of important weaponry are used throughout the book. I wish every major historical battlefield had such a great guide.
As the Title Projects.......2006-05-11
Messenger's D-Day Atlas has many maps that are very easily read and the text within the book itself is very well written. If you are looking for a good overview of the invasion and it's aftermath, complete with anecdotes and easy to follow maps, then this is a book that you should be happy with.

Book Description
Essayist Stephen Miller pursues a lifelong interest in conversation by taking an historical and philosophical view of the subject. He chronicles the art of conversation in Western civilization from its beginnings in ancient Greece to its apex in eighteenth-century Britain to its current endangered state in America. As Harry G. Frankfurt brought wide attention to the art of bullshit in his recent bestselling On Bullshit, so Miller now brings the art of conversation into the light, revealing why good conversation matters and why it is in decline.
Miller explores the conversation about conversation among such great writers as Cicero, Montaigne, Swift, Defoe, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, and Virginia Woolf. He focuses on the world of British coffeehouses and clubs in “The Age of Conversation” and examines how this era ended. Turning his attention to the United States, the author traces a prolonged decline in the theory and practice of conversation from Benjamin Franklin through Hemingway to Dick Cheney. He cites our technology (iPods, cell phones, and video games) and our insistence on unguarded forthrightness as well as our fear of being judgmental as powerful forces that are likely to diminish the art of conversation.
Customer Reviews:
Research Paper?.......2007-06-28
I had high hopes for this book, and am enjoying certain passages. However, it really smacks of Term/Research Paper (sometimes endless quotes with no conclusory statement). I find it more enjoyable when Miller is simply formulating his own conclusions and opinions.
'Crossfire' has become our Conversation (3.5 *s).......2006-12-08
According to the author and any number of conversation experts from the ancient past to the present, conversation is not simply ordinary brief exchanges necessitated by daily life. No, conversation is practically an art form engaged in by cultured and educated people concerning issues and ideas of the day. It must be conducted in an agreeable manner: with give and take, tolerance, politeness, and even wit. Boorishness, argumentativeness, and lecturing - all undermine conversation. Furthermore, highly controversial and divisive issues especially those involving politics and religion are to be handled with care if not avoided.
From an historical perspective, the author focuses mostly on 18th century England where refined conversation of the sort described above took place in literally thousands of coffee shops and clubs. Apparently it was distressful to those who were poor conversationalists, as they were then relegated to the background. Women, some renown, were participants. Many of the famous authors and personages of that era appear on the pages of this book: Hume, Pope, Johnson, Boswell, Addison, etc. Noted Frenchman Roussuau disregarded conversation for its hypocrisy and the use of politeness as concealment. The author draws a contrast between the ancient Spartans and Athenians - the former eschewed conversation as detrimental to the military state, while the latter had a rich cultural life with Plato, Socrates, and the like.
The leading figures of colonial America, as Englishmen, were conversationalists. However, the author as well as any number of visitors and chroniclers of American life finds conversation to be quite limited across American history. The reasons are varied: lack of learning and suitable locations, the strong, silent American personality, and the commercial nature of American society requiring instrumental talk. Americans have a tendency to use conversation as a form of therapy for personal problems or to use it, a la Dale Carnegie, to influence others - both distortions in the author's estimation.
Modern culture is in many ways hostile to conversation. The author points to the advocacy of violence in some cultural forums. The rise of personal electronics is isolating, whether it be iPods or laptop computers. Completely distorting the fact that conversation involves actual participation, it is now a spectator sport: watched on television or listened to on right-wing talk radio. And those supposed conversations and talk are often highly opinionated and acrimonious - bound to make the cultured Europeans of years ago turn over in their graves. The CNN program Crossfire epitomizes the breakdown of conversation and the pathetic substitute.
The book is just a bit rambling as the author ranges back and forth across countries, eras, and people. He notes some very fledgling attempts to start discussion groups through book stores, coffee shops, and the like, but he concludes that prospects for conversation in the US are not good. More could be said. The absence of conversation and the rise of propaganda disseminated through the media and advertisers, if not even educational institutions, make the prospects for our entire democracy quite tenuous. We seem to have lost the broad social understanding that can be achieved through conversation; now we have the partisanship that is rooted in acrimonious shouting with extremist consequences. It is difficult to see the path back form this morass.
Conversation: A History of a Declining Art........2006-07-30
Great read offering possible insights and reasons for the obvious decline in casual conversation in America specifically and the west in general.
Technology is a big part of the cause. How foolish is it to have a family in the same house messaging each other? What ever happened to face-to-face communication in the family, in the neighborhood, in the village, in the country?
Food for Thought.......2006-07-15
An affecting, enagaging rumination on the past, present, and future of conversation. The book is strongest in examining the great 18th century conversationalists -- Hume, S. Johnson -- and in offering observations on "conversibility" in the modern age. In some of the other historical chapters, Miller does not seem quite as well informed, and the thread of the essay stretches a bit thin.
But overall the book is fun and very much worth reading. It makes one appreciate the delights of conversation and yearn to be a better conversationalist.
Talk is Not Cheap.......2006-04-23
Miller's faith in the value of good-humored, reasonable talk among civilized people flies in the face of the current tendency toward opinionated,virulent, and self-serving public discourse. Yes, he rants occasionally, but the ranting is funny and right-on, a slam-dunk comment on the level to which manners have slumped in our age. His scholarship is impeccable and his style a model of what conversation should be--witty and wise. Barbara Gardner, PhD, Mendocino, CA
