Book Description
Business as usual is not such a bad thing if you're Scott Adams. His "Dilbert" strip appears in more than 2,000 newspapers, and the "Dilbert" website attracts over a million unique visitors each month. His book The Dilbert Principle is arguably the best-selling business book of all time. He's sold more than 20 million books and calendars in North America alone, and cumulatively, his books have spent over a year on the New York Times Best-Seller List. If you're Dilbert, on corporate bureaucracy, entangled in technological red tape, and plagued by office politics on a daily basis. He counts among his coworkers an inept pointy-haired boss, a megalomaniacal dog, a volatile fellow engineer, and another who has made slacking his primary vocation. While this may not be the ideal work environment, it does provide plenty of laughter to those of us looking on, and that's something that should be a usual part of any business.
Every bit as essential as this first cup of coffee in the morning, this calendar features a daily or Sunday "Dilbert" strip on every daily page.
Customer Reviews:
DAILY DOSE OF DILBERT.......2004-12-28
Since Bill Watterson retired from doing Calvin & Hobbes several years ago, Dibert has been the most consistently funny comic strip going today and one of the very few I read with regularity. Anyone who's ever worked in an office can certainly appreciate Scott Adams' wry sense of humor for all things that happen in the office environment. The calendar is a nice way to give someone a daily dose of Dilbert as well as giving them something practical they can use in their day-today work activities.
As Vital as Your Morning Coffee.......2004-12-17
It's hard to buy a gift for someone you know likes Dilbert but probably has most of the books already. You can go for other business humor books, but apart from Augustus Gump's Management Secrets of T. John Dick, there's not much out there - and my boss already has that too. If you believe a daily dose of Dilbert is as important as that morning coffee, this calendar's a good solution. Just about every one of them at least makes you smile, even if you've seen them before. You also have the satisfaction of watching your boss laugh at the Pointy Haired Boss without spotting the similarities with his own behavior. Yikes, if he reads this, I'm sunk!

Book Description
Twayne Filmmakers SeriesSeries Editor: Frank Beaver, University of MichiganThis series explores the history of motion pictures by studying individual filmmakers and cinematic movements, illuminating the most significant aspects of film for the student, scholar, and general reader.An Academy Award-winning director whose trademark infotainment films, in which factually based events in history are presented with an editorial biasPlatoon, Salvadore, Born on the Fourth of July, and JFK Stone has spawned vigorous debate over the ethics of blurring the line between news journalism and fictional narrative. And while the aforementioned films lean towards news, many of his other films, such as Wall Street and Talk Radio are clearly fictionalized explorations of real situations in American society today.The Twayne Filmmakers Series provides students with rich opportunities for studying individual filmmakers, national cinema, and filmmaking technique. Books in the Filmmakers Series are written by major film scholars, historians, and critics who bring their special insights to a highly diverse collection of studies about the twentieth centurys major art form: the motion picture.Frank Beaver, Series EditorI opened it with dread, but as it turned out, I did not have to ignore this as another whipping. On the contrary, I learned things about myself and the way my films are perceived. My congratulations on a sincere and well-crafted analysis.Oliver Stone . . . a welcome addition to film collections.Library Journal
Book Description
”
Fast Cars, Cool Rides is empirically rich, full of arresting observations and revealing verbatim quotes.”
—American Journal of Sociology
"Best shines a fluorescent street light on young people in high octane motion, making meaning and community through their cars. . . . Best's subjects articulate an intricate interplay of class, race, gender, and identity formation; she's given a great American institution its props."
—Donna Gaines, author of Teenage Wasteland: Suburbia's Dead End Kids
"Best's insights and observations should help youth workers and other adults understand this often powerful symbol."
—Youth Today
"How pleasantly jarring to be invited to enter Santa Clara Street, to feel the heat of the summer, to smell the alcohol on the breaths of the youth, to hear the bottles breaking on the sidewalk and to, most importantly, be treated to a fine analysis of the experiences of some of these cruisers."
—Daniel Thomas Cook, author of The Commodification of Childhood: The Children's Clothing Industry and the Rise of the Child Consumer
"Has the potential to expand our knowledge about young people's great social power, their contributions to changing culture, and their influence in marketplace decision-making. . . . A compelling and thought-provoking read."
—Debra Van Ausdale, author of The First R: How Children Learn Race and Racism
”
In Fast Cars, Cool Rides, Amy Best takes the inside lane on how and why young people use their cars as a means of cultural expression. Whether the school parking lot, auto-shop class, or the San Jose cruising scene, and whether the goal is personal freedom, racial solidarity, masculine power, or feminine rebelliousness, the car is the vehicle for the job, affording youth the symbolic and material means to solidify their identities within the context of global consumer culture. An intelligent, well-written book on kids and their cars; buckle up and take this ride."
—Laura Grindstaff, author of The Money Shot: Trash, Class, and the Making of TV Talk Shows
"Amy Best once again proves herself a most astute observer of youth cultures. This exciting study of diverse American car cultures brims with insight about identity formation, commodification, and the making of diverse modern selves."
—Janice M. Irvine, author of Talk About Sex: The Battles Over Sex Education in the United States
"Social observers from Tom Wolfe to George Lucas have seen Californians' car-cruising as emblematic of our larger society and social structure. Amy Best studied the scene in San Jose. In her eyes, young people's actions and attitudes toward cars reveal links among gender, ethnicity, material culture, and contemporary social structure."
—Joel Best, author of Damned Lies and Statistics: Untangling Numbers from the Media, Politicians, and Activists
Bass booms from custom speakers, pick-up trucks boast lowered suspensions, chrome rims reflect stoplights, and bare arms dangle from open windows. Welcome to Santa Clara Street in San Jose, California, where every weekend kids come to cruise late at night, riding their cars slow and low. On the surrounding, less-traveled streets you can also find young men racing customized cars to see who has the "go," not just the "show." And, in the daylight hours, in a nearby suburb, you might find a brand new SUV parked in the driveway, a parents' Sweet 16 present.
In
Fast Cars, Cool Rides Amy Best provides a fascinating account of kids and car culture. Encompassing everything from learning to drive to getting one's license, from cruising to customizing, from racing to buying one's first car, Best shows that never before have cars played such an important role in the lives of America's youth as they do today. Drawing on interviews with over 100 young men and women, aged 15-24, and five years of research—cruising hot spots, sitting in on auto shop class, attending car shows—Best explores the fast-paced world of kids and their cars. She reveals a world where cars have incredible significance for kids today, as a means of transportation and thereby freedom to come and go, as status symbols and as a means to express their identities. But while having a fast car or a cool ride can carry tremendous importance for these kids, Best shows that the price, especially when it can cost $30,000, can be steep as working-class kids work jobs to make car payments and as college kids forgo moving out of Mom and Dad's house because they can't pay for rent, car payments, and car insurance.
Fast Cars, Cool Rides offers a rare and rich portrait of the complex and surprising roles cars can play in the lives of young Americans. Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a cool ride.

Good book, available free online.......1998-02-24
I realy enjoyed this book, good resource for most players. The book is available online free from TSR's homepage. Good luck in finding it.
Great Book! Only one problem..........1997-05-19
THE book for all who wish to build castles in the ADND world. With complete instructions for building your castle from the conception stage to the random encounters whilst building it. Numerous examples are evident, and there are even sections on the history of castles, chilvary, and even special racial castles are included. There is only one problem ... and this is that the entire book is available in electronic form (scanned & OCR'ed), from the TSR Inc. homepage at:

Book Description
New in paperback, The Typography Workbook provides an at-a-glance reference book for designers on all aspects of type.
The book is part of Rockport's popular Workbook series of practical and inspirational workbooks that cover all the fundamental areas of the graphic design business. This book presents an abundance of information on type - the cornerstone of graphic design - succinctly and to the point, so that designers can get the information they need quickly and easily.
Whereas many other books on type are either very technical or showcase oriented, this book offers ideas and inspiration through hundreds of real-life projects showing successful, well-crafted usage of type. The book also offers a variety of other content, including choosing fonts, sizes, and colors; incorporating text and illustrations; avoiding common mistakes in text usage; and teaching rules by which to live (and work) by.
Customer Reviews:
qualified rare type book.......2007-08-30
There is tons of type book around but this is one of the most useful type book on my shelf, recommend it.
good type book.......2007-08-14
This book is great to have and read. Works as a reference as well and can be used to get some ideas. If your interested in type and graphic design consider getting this book.
great intro.......2007-08-03
it give a great understanding of type and where you can take it. a perfect book for beginning students and other trying to better their designs and layouts.
Excellent author.......2007-03-30
A very good overview of typography in everyday situations, as a how-to and as shown by example. Many of the examples are in a style I don't personally like (I'm a traditionalist by nature and modern typography often borders on the chaotic in my opinion) but as a designer seeing what's being done out there is a necessity. This book is more than just a typographic showcase of current thought and work - it presents sound principles that underscore what's presented.
Typography Workbook.......2006-02-09
This book is very informative for designers working with typography. It applies to all different skill levels, there is always something to learn and this book is great to refer back to. I would recommend this book to all graphic designers. This book does not explain everything, but it is good to have as a close reference.

If you love history.......2007-09-02
If you love history, this is the book for you! Goes over everything in DEEP detail!!! This is a COLLEGE book so it's definitely hard to read and understand but you will definitely enjoy it!
Boycott this book.......2003-12-16
This is an OK book, but unfortunately Bentley's predatory practice of reorganizing the same information or renumbering the chapters every year or so keeps students buying the expensive paperback, selling it back for far less to bookstores which then cannot sell it. The contents of the book are indistinguishable from other editions; you don't need the newest one.
If you need this book for a class, buy a used one and refuse to support Bentley's intellectual laziness.
Awesome book!.......2002-09-07
We order a used version of this book and are amazed by how good of condition it came in and all! It was great and a personal note was included in the box which made it all the better!
Customer Reviews:
This book is invaluable, especially when seeking funding!.......1999-05-27
As someone who works privately with students and researchers in the social sciences, I give this book my highest recommendation. The essence of any research project is the proposal. For dissertation students, the proposal is the blueprint for the entire dissertation process. For researchers in the social sciences, the research proposal is the most important vehicle for securing funding. When researchers contact me in regard to assistance with their proposal, I recommend that they buy this book and use it as a reference. The information contained in this book is invaluble.
