Disney Animation

The most complete book on the subject ever written, this is the fascinating inside story by two long-term Disney animators of the gradual perfecting of a relatively young and particularly American art from, which no other move studio has ever been able to equal.


The authors, Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, worked with Walt Disney himself as well as other leading figures in a half-century of Disney films. They personally animated leading characters in most of the famous films and have decades of close association with the others who helped perfect this extremely difficult and time-consuming art form. Not to be mistaken for just a "how-to-do-it," this voluminously illustrated volume (like the classic Disney films themselves) is intended for everyone to enjoy.


Besides relating the painstaking trial-and-error development of Disney's character animation technology, this book irresistibly charms us with almost an overabundance of the original historic drawings used in creating some of the best-loved characters in American culture: Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, Snow White and Bambi (among many, many others) as well as early sketches used in developing memorable sequences from classic features such as Fantasia and Pinocchio.


With the full cooperation of Walt Disney Productions and free access to the studio's priceless archives, the authors took unparalleled advantage of their intimate long-term experience with animated films to choose the precise drawings to illustrate their points from among hundreds of thousands of pieces of artwork carefully stored away.


The book answers everybody's question about how the amazingly lifelike effects of Disney character animation were achieved, including charming stories of the ways that many favorite animated figures got their unique personalities. From the perspective of two men who had an important role in shaping the art of animation, and within the context of the history of animation and the growth of the Disney studio, this is the definitive volume on the work and achievement of one of America's best-known and most widely loved cultural institutions. Nostalgia and film buffs, students of popular culture, and that very broad audience who warmly responds to the Disney "illusion of life" will find this book compelling reading (and looking!).

From New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, In the Lives of Puppets is a queer retelling of the Pinocchio tale, inviting you deep into the heart of a peculiar forest and on the extraordinary journey of a family assembled from spare parts.

In a strange little home built into the branches of a grove of trees live three robots - fatherly inventor android Giovanni Lawson, a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, and a small vacuum desperate for love and attention. Victor Lawson, a human, lives there too. They're a family, hidden and safe.

The day Vic salvages and repairs an unfamiliar android labelled 'HAP', he learns of a shared dark past between Hap and Gio - a past spent hunting humans.

When Hap unwittingly alerts robots from Gio's former life to their whereabouts, the family is no longer hidden and safe. Gio is captured and taken back to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams. So together, the rest of Vic's assembled family must journey across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommission, or worse, reprogramming.

Along the way to save Gio, amid conflicted feelings of betrayal and affection for Hap, Vic must decide for himself: can he accept love with strings attached?

Inspired by Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio, In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful standalone fantasy adventure from the author who brought you The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door.

Henry Scougal

This book is brand new and still sealed in the original shrink wrap. 

Synopsis | The edition of Scougal, from which this is a transcript, is the only one which has fallen under our notice, printed since 1739, which has the original preface of Bishop Burnet entire, and Archbishop Leighton's Rules for a Holy Life. 

It is believed to be an exact copy of the first edition, printed under the author's eye.* The commendation of two such names as Burnet and Leighton is sufficient for any book; but this has received the commendation of the most eminent Christians for almost two hundred years.

101 Great Ways To Improve Your Life

New Jersey

Hip-Hop Pedagogy and the Politics of Identity

For over a decade, educators have looked to capitalize on the appeal of hip-hop culture, sampling its language, techniques, and styles as a way of reaching out to students. But beyond a fashionable hipness, what does hip-hop have to offer our schools? In this revelatory new book, Marc Lamont Hill shows how a serious engagement with hip-hop culture can affect classroom life in extraordinary ways. Based on his experience teaching a hip-hop-centered English literature course in a Philadelphia high school, and drawing from a range of theories on youth culture, identity, and educational processes, Hill offers a compelling case for the power of hip-hop in the classroom. In addition to driving up attendance and test performance, Hill shows how hip-hop-based educational settings enable students and teachers to renegotiate their classroom identities in complex, contradictory, and often unpredictable ways.

An Uprising for Educational Justice

Black Lives Matter at School is an essential resource for all those seeking to build an antiracist school system."

--Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award-winning and #1 New York Times Bestselling Author 



Black Lives Matter at School succinctly generalizes lessons from successful challenges to institutional racism that have been won through the Black Lives Matter at School movement. This book will inspire many more educators and activists to join the Black Lives Matter at School movement at a moment when this antiracist work in our schools could not be more urgent and critical to education justice.



Contributors include Opal Tometi, who wrote a moving foreword, Bettina Love who shares a powerful chapter on abolitionist teaching, Brian Jones who centers Black Lives Matter at School in the historical context of the ongoing struggle for racial justice in education and prominent teacher union leaders from Chicago to Los Angeles and beyond who discuss the importance of anti-racist struggle in education unions. The book includes essays, interviews, poems, resolutions, and more from educators, students and parents around the country who have been building Black Lives Matter at School on the ground.

Very good clean tight copy, very good dust jacket. Collector’s 

"Much has changed in the past seventy-five years, and for that we owe no greater debt than to the publication of Arthur M. Schlesinger, Sr.'s life work, the first comprehensive social history of the United States ever undertaken, A History of American Life." "Published in twelve volumes from 1927 to 1944, A History of American Life pushed the study of American history into places it had never been before, and legitimized a new discipline - social history - in its wake. Few series before or since have boasted more notable contributors, among them Pulitzer Prize winners James Truslow Adams and Allan Nevins, and Schlesinger himself, one of the most influential historians of the twentieth century." "To this day, A History of American Life remains one of the most magnificent attempts ever made to comprehend the American experience in its totality, from the coming of the first explorers to the Great Depression. A work of astonishing narrative power, richly enjoyable in the broadest of its strokes and the most minute of its particulars, it offers a definitive answer to the question "What is the American civilization?" We celebrate its republication in a single volume, sensitively abridged by Mark C. Carnes, and including a lengthy introduction by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Sr.'s son, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., and an extended historiographical essay by Professor Carnes."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Somewhere in the Midwest, Amy Breis is going nowhere.
nbsp;
Amy has a job she hates, a creep boyfriend she's just dumped, and a best friend she can't reach on the phone. But at least her (often painfully passive-aggressive) mother bought her a pink unicorn sweatshirt for her birthday. Pink. Unicorn. For her twenty-seventh birthday.

Gliding through the daydreams and realities of a young woman searching for definition, Life with Mr. Dangerous showcases acclaimed cartoonist Paul Hornschemeier's gift for deadpan humor and dead-on insight with a droll aftertaste--an unlikely but welcome marriage of the bleak and the hopeful.

Life with Mr. Dangerous

b55d0c62-2f41-4df2-be66-b2d13adcf97b-1

The true story of a prominent psychiatrist, his young patient, and the past-life therapy that changed both their lives.

As a traditional psychotherapist, Dr. Brian Weiss was astonished and skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. His skepticism was eroded, however, when she began to channel messages from the "space between lives," which contained remarkable revelations about Dr. Weiss' family and his dead son. Using past-life therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase of his own career.

One book towards the back has some spotting on 7 or 8 pages. No dog ears, writing, underlining, or markings in any of the books that I saw. A little yellowing on the inside covers which is to be expected.
