Book Description
When many people retire, they discover to their dismay that they're no longer in Who's Who, but in Who's He? The psychological change is much greater than they'd expected, but it doesn't have to be that way. In fact, the Third Act can be the best part of anybody's life.
With humor, wisdom, practical advice, and inspiring stories from some of America's most distinguished leaders, Edgar M. Bronfman, former CEO of Seagram's, explores the most important lessons he's discovered about planning what you will retire to; about the many different ways to learn, grow, and take on new challenges; about giving back through volunteerism, constructing a new career as fulfilling as the first, or simply following your heart. "It's not just the length of our lives that should concern us," he says. "It's the quality of our lives." The Third Act is an invaluable guide to improving both.

Act Three (if you have lots of money).......2003-06-24
I was eager to read this book, but quickly discovered that most of the advice and insight provided really only would only be helpful to people who are dripping with money. Not everyone can afford a psycho-therapist or a consulting firm to give them advice on making the transition to retirement. How many of us can afford a private spa to cool off after workouts? How many of us can expect to find diversion in retirement by being on the board of directors?
Also, in several places you will find the myth that people who don't work have a meaningful life. This is absolutely not true.
The one plus for the book are the resources given Appendix B. Some of the things listed look like they have value to the non-wealthy.
A Self-Serving, Unimportant Book.......2002-07-30
In my opinion, The Third Act, a new book by Edgar M. Bronfman is a bust as an offering toward establishing a more clear, balanced and reasonable view of what retirement looks like and will look like in the U.S. But, first, give me a moment to digress.
Iýve got a pile of newspaper and magazine and even web-based articles by journalists with apparently no near-term plans to retire who build articles around quotes from financial planners with the same mindset. In these articles, we get forewarnings about possible problems and disappointments with retirement: ýa life of leisure is not all itýs cracked up to beý or ýpeople discover a year or so into retirement that hitting the golf course daily is boring and traveling is tiring.ý These are direct quotes from a recent article written by an Eileen Ambrose from the Baltimore Sun, who gives us this other tidbit: ýExecutives miss the deference once shown by underlings now that they are merely among other retirees.ý Do you believe that? She seems to be saying that, to some, spending the rest of oneýs life ýmerely among other retireesý would be a fate worse than death! And this leads us to a review of Mr. Bronfmanýs new book.
The thesis of The Third Act seems to be that it is not only right, but also very possible, if you work at it, for folks who were prestigious and important in their work life to retain similar status and recognition in retirement. To prove his point, the author brings us name after name of big shots, what they did in their careers and what they are doing or plan to do in retirement. The end result, unfortunately, is a self-serving, name-dropping effort that tries to make us believe that the author and his buddies are on to something unique in their quests for a meaningful retirement.
I think the book is baloney. Youýll find no retired bus drivers or ex-cops or clerks from back offices featured here. No, every ýretiredý person introduced in this book is 1) a big shot by definition and 2) a dear friend of the author. Wouldnýt it be really nice if all the big shots, including the author himself, had the opportunity to write a good-selling book about themselves and their buddies in retirement? Such a system would keep them where they deserve to be: in the limelight and gaining income at the same time. Baloney!
Starting with the author, who really is writing a book about himself more than anything else, the people in the book are those of privilege. His father, for example, ran The Seagram Company, and his son, the author, became CEO after him, and, guess what, the authorýs son took over after him. In this theme, the author introduces former president Jimmy Carter right off as ýan excellent exemplar of the vitality and promise of the Third Act.ý Not exactly a typical retiree, of course. When Carter finds that heýs a million bucks in debt when he leaves the White House, he simply signs for a book deal to wipe that out. Boy, do we learn something there that will help other retirees be successful. Not!
Then there is the overachieving Dr. C. Everett Koop, who the author says will be ýgoing full speed until the day he dies.ý While this goal may be a worthy one in retirement, who is the enemy? In the book, Koop goes on to define his fear that he may become like others he knows in retirement who ýcease to be interested in life and follow their wives around the supermarket.ý Again, surely a fate worse than death, like, Iýd guess, a former sports star relegated to sitting on the bench. Baloney!
We are introduced to lawyers and CEOs, directors of art galleries and presidents of Universities, and, perhaps most importantly, celebrities. Walter Cronkite and Mike Wallace make the list, but the most unabashedly silly parts of the book are reserved for ýmy friend Kitty Carlisle Hart.ý She offers other retirees or soon-to-be-retirees such important advice as ýIým out every day and every night, and Iým always put together. Iýve got my makeup on, my hair done, and I have a nice dress. Whatever else may come my way, Iým up, Iým out and I look good.ý Cool!
The author tells us that he and his wife met Ms. Carlisle years ago while on a trip to Jamaica, where he shares with us that he ýleaned over and lightly kissed those smiling lips.ý An important insight, for sure. Later, the author says, ýKitty is real tonic. Sheýs charming, beautiful, and tough as steel. She personifies the can-do factor so necessary in the Third Act.ý While this may be true, we doubt if she would have made the book if her name didnýt precede her.
While the book is a light, quick read and will not hurt anyone in the process of its publication, it is, again, in my opinion, a bust as far as providing meaningful insight for retirees or soon-to-be retirees. For those looking for better guidance and deeper insight, might I recommend "breaking the watch," by Joel Savishinsky and "The Joy of Not Working," by Ernie Zelinski
Pretty thin.......2002-07-22
I ordered this book as part of my retirement planning. It did confirm some things I already knew, i.e. you need a plan, you need to keep active and you need to keep healthy. These are hardly new concepts. While it does have interesting interviews with well known, well heeled personalities, their options are quite different than most. It lacked any meaningful advice or planning tools for self discovery. It is great reading for the American aristocracy. But I don't qualify.
Change of Life, Change of Perspective.......2002-06-13
I was pretty bored after my retirement. One can only play so much golf and I have a terrible time getting past the windmill.
I was starting to get on my wife's nerves puttering around the house with nothing to do so I picked up this book for some help.
It's a fascinating read and has many great ideas. I have now slimmed down quite a bit (no more donuts and beer for breakfast) and reinvented myself. I am now my wife's twin sister Violet. We actually talk now, share clothes and do a quilting circle together on Tuesday evening. Our life together has truly been reinvented. The children are a bit concerned and our grandkids are a bit confused but hey that's their problem.
The golden years can be truly exciting if one is not afraid of a little change. Enjoy!

Book Description
More than just military history, George Walshs narrative digs deeper, revealing the humanity of Lee and his lieutenants as never beforetheir nobility and their flaws, their chilling acceptance of death, their tender relations with sweethearts in the midst of all of the carnage that was the American Civil War.The Civil War is one year old in 1862 when the fifty-five-year-old Robert E. Lee assumes command of the Army of Northern Virginia. Damage them all you can, he exhorts his men. His army, ragtag in uniform and elite in spirit, responds ferociously in one battle after another, from the Seven Days and the Valley Campaign through Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, to the final siege of Richmond and Petersburg.Here we encounter in depth the officers who stir the imagination: the dutiful Lee, Stonewall Jackson, stolid James Longstreet, egotistical Jeb Stuart, and many others.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent One Volume Treatment of ANV.......2003-06-21
George Walsh hit a grand slam with DAMAGE THEM ALL YOU CAN: ROBERT E. LEE'S ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA. Told almost exclusively from the point of view of the Confederate side this book does a wonderful job of getting into the hearts and minds of the men who fought for the Confederacy. The stereotypes of the lost cause or southerners as a pack of racists are replaced by a very human portrait of the men (and sometimes their loved ones too) who fought and died for what they believed in. Walsh has done a very real service to the memory of the Army of Northern Virginia. The battle narratives are really good as is the analysis of Lee's thoughts, decisions and occasional frustration with his subordinates. An excellent treatment!
Walsh does a superb job chronicling Lee's Stalwart Army!.......2003-04-13
Strolling through the Mall I decided to stop in for a brief visit to the mass market oriented bookstore. Thumbing through the Civil War offerings I picked up this outstanding book. I did not recognize the name of George Walsh. He is a Yankee writing on the army whose story has been so well told from Southern superstars such as Douglass Southall Freeman, Clfford
Dowdey and Shelby Foote. Why plunk down a Visa card to purchase it?
Curiosity satisfied is the answer! Walsh writes in a personal style introducing the men and the units making up Lee's fabled Army of Northern Virgnia. Even an old Civil War buff such as I learned new things about the Victorian warriors of Dixieland who lend the forces of Lee against the enemy.
This book is an excellent survey of the war in the Eastern theatre. It is a valuable additon to my Civil War library. I highly recommend Walsh's book to anyone even casually interested in learning more about the American Illiad that is our Civil War!
Damage Them All You Can: R.E. Lee's Army of No. Va........2002-12-28
"Damage Them All You Can:" Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia written by George Walsh is quite frankly one of the best accounts of The Army of Northern Virginia that I've ever read. General Robert E. Lee assembled the best army to ever, to this point in time, fight on American soil. In fact, The Army of Northern Virginia man for man, out Generaled, out fought all that the North could throw against it.
Walsh's book is a true delight to read, the principles in the book seem to come alive as you read on in the book. The prose is written with vivid descriptions and the author gives the reader insights albeit shrewd of how the battles were fought.
I got the inpression that I was there with the incisive insights the author gives the reader, from the Generals, to the commanders, right down to the trenches, told with deeply moving detail. I encourage anyone interested in reading about the Civil War or the "Yankee War of Aggression" to read this book.
I've read Foote, McPherson, and Catton's writings about this time in American History, but Walsh's account here is the best and most personal one that I've ever read, with a probing into the character and the battles that made them feel like they were fought right before your eyes.
This book is, by all accounts, for a single volume the best book written about one of the best fighting armies the Confederacy ever had... the Army of Northern Virginia. This book is worthy of a place in your library on American History.
"Damage Them All You Can" should a have a sub-title.......2002-12-09
I am the author of "Damage Them All You Can." Would you please run the subtitle of my book on your web page?
The subtitle is: Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia.
By running it you will provide the potential buyer with instant information as to what the book is about.
Thank you.
Book Description
Since its original publication in 1987, Channels of Discourse has provided the most comprehensive consideration of commercial television, drawing on insights provided by the major strands of contemporary criticism: semiotics, narrative theory, reception theory, genre theory, ideological analysis, psychoanalysis, feminist criticism, and British cultural studies.
The second edition features a new introduction by Robert Allen that includes a discussion of the political economy of commercial television. Two new essays have been added—one an assessment of postmodernism and television, the other an analysis of convergence and divergence among the essays—and the original essays have been substantially revised and updated with an international audience in mind. Sixty-one new television stills illustrate the text.
Each essay lays out the general tenets of its particular approach, discusses television as an object of analysis within that critical framework, and provides extended examples of the types of analysis produced by that critical approach. Case studies range from Rescue 911 and Twin Peaks to soap operas, music videos, game shows, talk shows, and commericals.
Channels of Discourse, Reassembled suggests new ways of understanding relationships among television programs, between viewing pleasure and narrative structure, and between the world in front of the television set and that represented on the screen. The collection also addresses the qualities of popular television that traditional aesthetics and quantitative media research have failed to treat satisfactorily, including its seriality, mass production, and extraordinary popularity.
The contributors are Robert C. Allen, Jim Collins, Jane Feuer, John Fiske, Sandy Flitterman-Lewis, James Hay, E. Ann Kaplan, Sarah Kozloff, Ellen Seiter, and Mimi White.

Excellent Overview of Media Studies Methodologies.......2002-07-04
In a critical writing course I taught in Spring 2002, I used Channels of Discourse, Reassembled as the core text for the course readings. The many chapters within are written by the best of the best in the fields of media studies and cultural studies, and the methodologies are presented in an easy-to-read manner which is informative and full of examples and case studies. This is an excellent book for media studies students, as its chapters lay out the basic information they should know about many of the methodologies often used in media criticism.
Book Description
Narrative and Genre introduces students to two key concepts in Media Studies, complementing Image and Representation published in 1998. The book covers the major narrative theorists and is illustrated with numerous case studies including The X-Files, Wuthering Heights, Se7en, and newspaper reporting. A brief history of narrative in literature surveys text from The Epic of Gilgamesh to Paul Auster's postmodern Ghost. The section on genre offers exhaustive case studies on film noir and the "hard-boiled" detective novel, the TV cop genre, and soap opera.

Where Rivers And Mountains Sing: Sound, Music, And Nomadism in Tuva And Beyond
ASIN: 0295980303 |
Book Description
This book celebrates the power of music, dance, and oral narrative to create identities by imaginatively connecting performers and audiences with ethnic and political groupings, global and sacred landscapes, histories and heroes, spirits and gods.
Three distinct cultural eras of Mongolian society are represented. Many Mongols are now performing publicly the diverse traditions of Old Mongolia that they practiced in private following the communist revolution of 1921; some are perpetuating the Soviet transformations of those traditions introduced prior to 1990; and yet others are dipping their curly-toed boots into new performance arts as they revel in musical encounters on the global stage. By highlighting the sheer variety of repertories, this book illustrates the rich diversity of Mongolia's peoples and performance arts.
An accompanying compact disc contains musical examples linked to the text.

Book Description
From Chaplin's brilliant use of Wagner in The Gold Rush to the Bach chorale closing Scorsese's Casino, classical music has played a fascinating role in movies. Dean Duncan provides a fresh critical survey of the aesthetics of classical music in film. Exploring tensions between high art and commercial culture, Duncan examines how directors quote themes and classical passages in genres ranging from the Soviet avant garde to Hollywood romances. Drawing on film theory, musicology, and cultural criticism, he clarifies the connections between two very different art forms.
Customer Reviews:
Great perspective on how music operates in film.......2005-08-04
Dean's book provides wonderful insight and explanation about the use of source music in films. The book was foundational for me. It helped me understand how film and music function together and convey meaning. And Dean's style, while academic and difficult to read casually, is genuine and sincere. As a musician and filmmaker, this book was very rewarding for me.

Moving a Game from Your Head to a Computer Screen.......2006-08-16
Computer games have changed dramatically over the past few years. Long gone are simple Pac-Man type games. Today's computer are vastly more powerful than the early PC's and competition has forced the gaming industry into every more sophisticated games. In addition to the powerful computers, extremely sophisticated software has come about to assist game development.
As Mr, Schuytema says, however, the most powerful, the most important piece of software is your mind. The most powerful computers, the most sophisticated software don't have the crativity you have.
All of the rest of this book then is on simply using the tools that are available to take your creativity and make it dance on the screen. It begins with the development of a plan. What is it that the game is supposed to do, what's the setting, the characters, what objects do these characters use: gun, bomb, chocolate bar?
Then it goes into the tools that he recommends the starting designer to use, specifically the scripting language Lua. This is a simple to use, easy way to get started. You can certainly use it through the prototyping stage, at which time you may or may not need to go to something lower level like C++ or C.
He develops a simple game through the book so that he can use Lua to illustrate what he is doing. A CD is included with the book that includes the game and a bunch of Lua software.
