The New Wave, 30th Anniversary Edition

Book Description

Three decades after its first publication, The New Wave is still considered one of the fundamental texts on the French film movement of the same name. Led by filmmakers as influential as Truffaut and Godard, the New Wave was a seminal moment in cinematic history, and The New Wave has been hailed as the most complete book ever written about it.

The New Wave tells the story of the New Wave through examinations of five of the most important directors of the era: Truffaut, Godard, Chabrol, Rohmer, and Rivette. With detailed notes and over fifty breathtaking stills, the book has appealed both to academics and interested novices alike.

The thirtieth anniversary edition includes a new afterword by the author.

Book Description

Acclaimed food writer and cultural historian John T. Edge continues his sumptuous feast of a series on iconic American foods-with recipes included.

With Fried Chicken and Apple Pie, John T. Edge launched a series of short books that celebrate American culture through the lore of our favorite foods. Now, with Hamburgers & Fries, Edge continues his quest to discover the very essence of America through the dishes we love and cherish.

Across the nation, from backyard barbecues to Big Macs, Edge follows the evolution of the burger from frugal repast to deluxe treat, but always with a celebration of American brawn and freedom. He revisits Depression-era days, when most hamburgers were extended with bread crumbs, and goes on to trace the arc of the American experience that leads us to the haute burgers of today, with foie gras at their centers and selling for $50 apiece. Best of all, the acclaimed food writer gives us fifteen recipes for the best burger we've ever sunk our teeth into.

Customer Reviews:

Very enjoyable, but overpriced.......2006-03-27

Edge is a fine writer, and what he's written is entertaining, enjoyable and informative. If you're interested at all in hamburgers (and if you're reading this, you obviously are), then you'll definitely want to read it. But this is a small, short book, easily read in one sitting, and in my opinion overpriced. There aren't even any photographs to add to the fun. So I'd suggest you wait for a price reduction, or find a used copy, because there's not enough content here to justify its $13 Amazon price, much less its $20 list price. At $8 or less, you'll be happy to have it in your library...and if that were the price, I'd give it 4 stars. (Photos would have given it 5.)

YUM.......2006-01-08

I just love cheeseburgers. I got this book for Christmas and read it in 5 days. Just fun stuff- hamburger lore. If you're not a big burger fan go watch Oprah, but if you are this is a fun book!

Hold the fries!.......2005-09-08

John T. Edge's new book, "Hamburgers and Fries" is an earnest and breezy look at America's signature food. Who would know how diverse a nation we are when it comes to the concoction of the simple burger. Edge tells us all about it.

After a brief history of the hamburger, the author sets off in search of some of the tastiest and unusual burgers that can be found. From places as diverse as Mississippi and Connecticut, Edge discovers the local fare and is good enough to include the recipes in his book. (I'm from Connecticut and have never heard of a steamed cheeseburger.....I'll have to try one!)

Edge describes areas of the United States as having burger "microclimates". In San Antonio, for instance, it is not unheard of to have a burger that melds refried beans, Cheez Wiz and Fritos corn chips...the chips being found just under the bun. I suppose one hasn't lived until he or she has tried the Hawaiian "loco moco", though when in Hilo I think I might opt for the "local burger". But peanut butter on a hamburger?? In Cleveland and Missouri it happens. Taste is more individual than I thought.

I was disappointed that, despite its title, "Hamburgers and Fries" leaves the fries part mostly untouched. A scant fifteen pages is given over to the usual hamburger accompaniment. The book's lack of direction leaves a little to be desired as well. Still, Edge is one happy camper when it comes to burgers and I could see him hosting one of those half-hour food shows on tv someday.

How to punish a wimp who plays an anti Sicilian.......2002-10-16

Anyone who does not stay on the main line as white against the Sicilian deserves to be punished, and this is the book that will show you how to do just that. Black is assured an advantage against c3, Nc3, and even f4 systems, but you have to know how to do it. Its not the greatest opening book I've read, but its the best for anti-sicilian systems. Everything you need is right here, but since its out of print, you better get it while you still can. If a publisher is reading this, how about coming out with a second edition?

Beating the Anti-Sicilians.......2000-06-06

This book is a must for anyone who wishes to use the Sicilian as a weapon against e4. I play the Najdorf and Dragon variations of the Sicilian as black and I get annoyed when my opponent cops out of an open Sicilian with Anti-Sicilian moves such as 2.c3 or 2.Nc3. This book by Joe Gallagher is the answer to such weak cop outs! The book is written by a leading expert on the Sicilian and certainly makes the player with the white pieces suffer. Buy this book and white will never have a chance!

Comprehensive examination of PR strategies.......2007-01-05

I have used previous editions in the classroom but this one is even more thorough and has up-to-date examples which make it even more interesting. Worth keeping as a desk reference even if you aren't a PR person!

What happened to editing?.......2005-12-02

Although I found this text interesting, and mostly informative, the practice of editing seems to have slipped through the cracks. And for this purpose, I offer my eye for future editions! The order of content, as well as combining similar themes, could have been a bit more well thought out.

Eighth Edition of a Classic.......2007-01-11

From the very first page this book gives a good introduction into the daily life of a professional account executive a public relations firm. This is designed to ltet the student know how his workday is likely to be spent. Perhaps in eight editions they've learned how to approach students.

That brings up the question of what's new in the eighth edition. One important step is the new chapter on Conflict Management. This has become very critical in today's world as investigative reporters are constantly seeking conflicts to spread to the public. There's a new 'casebook' at the end of every chapter that presents a situation in depth that is left as a discussion subject for the student or the class. Finally the book is completely revised to use up to date in areas as diverse as salary ranges or notable public relations campaigns such as those mounted by John Kerry and George Bush.

This is the student edition of the book which contains a 64 page practice test at the end of the book.

ASIN: 0970910304

Book Description

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS: INTEGRATED THEORY, STRATEGY & TACTICS is designed for thoughtful marketing/communications practitioners and students interested in a more comprehensive, eclectic, provocative alternative to traditional advertising and sales-promotion books. The authors are marketing professors from Northwestern University and Fairleigh Dickinson University with extensive business and consulting backgrounds. The book includes sidebars written by some of the top marketing communications professionals in the country.

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS begins with an overview of the marketing communications process, including research, strategic objectives, corporate culture/identity, branding/positioning, creativity, and media/messages. It then guides the reader through a variety of tactics (advertising, publicity, sales promotion, word-of-mouth communication, etc.) and how to evaluate marketing-communication programs. The book then concludes with a "special topics" section that covers legal issues; distinctions between consumer and business-to-business marketing communications; international issues; philosophical issues; etc.

The book is perhaps the first true marketing communications book, in the sense that it is not just a glorified advertising or sales-promotion book, but gives equal weight to a variety of marketing communications tactics.

As a marketing consultant and someone who has personally had the privilege to meet and work with Dr. James Hutton, I give my glowing endorsement for a well written and useful marketing manuscript. Dr. Jim Hutton is a professor of Marketing Communications and this book is geared for the classroom. However, business owners and professionals in all industries would do themselves justice by buying and reading this book.
