Electronic Media, Second Edition: Then, Now, and Later Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)It would be difficult to be alive and even partially aware in the USA or any developed country right now and not experience how electronics and rapidly changing technology are shaping our lives. I'm one who was around when there was only radio and no TV, then black and white TV, and finally color TV,...

Soccer Madness: Brazil's Passion for the World's Most Popular Sport Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is worth reading, mostly because there simply aren't many books about Brazilian football, & you have to know about Brazil if you really want to know about football. Anyway, as a book about sociology of football, it is not bad. At least, there was quite a large amount of research and it...

Modern Manners: An Etiquette Book for Rude People Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you enjoy the intelligent and biting humor of a Dennis Miller and the vocabulary of a George Will you will love this book. If your idea of a great satirical read is "Mad Magazine" you will enjoy this book. If you think the Als - Gore and Franken - are brilliant you will hate this book.Click Here to...

Larry McReynolds: The Big Picture: My Life From Pit Road to the Broadcast Booth Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting, fun, and full of anecdotes about NASCAR. His "Big Picture" includes the 18 months he spent with my favorite driver, Dale Earnhardt. Part of the book is what we see on TV, but the better part is how NASCAR and broadcasting work behind the scenes, and what...

Way of the Earth Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is an unbelievably well written (and researched) investigation into the sources and manifestations of the spirit on our earth. The similarities between cultures on different continents proves, to me at least, that there is some form of communication and thought that is tracendent, above us, or beyond...

Frommer's London with Kids (Frommer's With Kids) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)What I like most about this guide compared to other guides, is that you can tell this is a REAL mother visiting these places with REAL children. And most importantly, she tells you about the places to avoid, as well as the best places to visit.when you're a mom, with two little boys, it is sometimes...

Authenticity: What Consumers Really Want Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is the latest in a series of several books (notably The Experience Economy: Work is Theater and Every Business a Stage and Markets of One: Creating Customer-Unique Value through Mass Customization) in which James H. Gilmore and B. Joseph Pine focus on what Peter Drucker once identified as one of...

Deion Sanders and the Sports Universe Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I haven't bought this book yet, so I don't know if the author has connected himself through six degrees to Sanders, but I can connect him -- through me!Deion Sanders played football for the greatest NFL team in history (Nye would argue this point; he would say Green Bay Packers), the Washington Redskins,...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Perfect gift for a high-schooler or grad with avid interest in a variety of sports fields. They can learn a lot through interviews the author conducted with top people in everything from college baseball (coach) to TV sports (director), from tennis pro to sports commissioner and more. Easy to read and...

L.A. Bizarro: The All-New Insider's Guide to the Obscure, the Absurd, and the Perverse in Los Angeles Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Years ago, I read the first L.A. Bizarro. LOL - admittedly, I was too young and too afraid to visit some of the places listed in the book, so I read it with a sort of voyeuristic wistfulness.Now, Older (not that much!) and braver, I was thrilled to find the new, updated L.A. Bizarro.This isn't your...

Lonely Planet Hawaii Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Lonely Planet has always been a trusted resource for traveling, and this HI version did not disappoint. I initially bought the guide hoping that it would give me enough information about the islands as a whole (to help decide which one to visit for my first trip to HI) and yet still contain enough details...

The Self-Aware Parent: Resolving Conflict and Building a Better Bond with Your Child Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Dr. Walfish's book is a testament to progressive parenting. Her ideas are thorough, thoughtful and clear. As a parent of 3 girls, ranging in age for 6-14, she is able to give me strategies and suggestions to deal with each of them. We cannot parent all of our children the same, and Dr. Walfish understands...

Once A Warrior Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Former UH Wideout - Ian Sample - generated a storm of controversy in Hawaii one month prior to the start of their 2007 season with the release of this book. The brouhaha that occurred was triggered by Sample releasing portions of his book, that his publisher chose to delete, on his personal MySpace blog...

The Oral History Workshop: Collect and Celebrate the Life Stories of Your Family and Friends Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Know Your Family, Know YourselfI wished I would have had this book before my dad died. He died in 2008 (my mom is in a home in the last stages of Alzheimer's). It was while staying at my parents house clearing out all their belongings I found this unmarked audio cassette tape. It was my dad reading a...

British Language & Culture (Lonely Planet Language & Culture) (Language Reference) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As an ex-pat American living in London, I find this book essential when trying to decipher the large number of different words and phrases that the Brits use: I can honestly tell you that the Phrasebook saved me from the horrors of a zucchini dinner when I found out what 'courgettes' really are. I also...

All Those Mornings . . . At the Post: The 20th Century in Sports from Famed Washington Post: Columnist Shirley Povich Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)An interesting conversation took place the other day. I mentioned to my grandfather, now in his early 80s, that I had just bought the new book entitled "All those Mornings...at the Post." And he responded with, "I grew up reading Shirley Povich."My response: "So did I, and I am 25." And so did my father....
