Download or read book Monster Trucks written by Marty Garza and published by Cartech. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past four decades there have existed a variety of debates concerning the creation of the monster truck. Most of the arguments are flawed, as they are largely based on the fundamental presumption that the monster truck is a static concept in terms of both construction and purpose. This book delineates how the monster truck is not a singular creation but instead the sum of many technologies orchestrated in a manner to achieve purposes that, like the vehicles, have evolved over time. Author Marty Garza takes the reader on a journey through various phases of monster truck development and occasionally provides evidence of the existence of variations of the concept that predate the establishment of the term. Monster truck fans will be provided with not only the nuts and bolts of individual technological developments but also the context in which they were created. Monster Trucksdepicts unique images that are true to the very nature of the developments themselves. The imagery may be dated, but it's vitally important for the preservation of the heritage of the monster truck industry and serves to recognize those individuals whose contributions have been largely overlooked though they played a significant role in achieving the spectacular level of technology observed today.

Book excerpt: Comedian and star of The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and host of The Great American Baking Show Ellie Kemper delivers a hilarious, refreshing, and inspiring collection of essays “teeming with energy and full of laugh-out-loud moments” (Associated Press). “A pleasure. Ellie Kemper is the kind of stable, intelligent, funny, healthy woman that usually only exists in yogurt commercials. But she’s real and she’s all ours!” —Tina Fey “Ellie is a hilarious and talented writer, although we’ll never know how much of this book the squirrel wrote.”—Mindy Kaling Meet Ellie, the best-intentioned redhead next door. You’ll laugh right alongside her as she shares tales of her childhood in St. Louis, whether directing and also starring in her family holiday pageant, washing her dad’s car with a Brillo pad, failing to become friends with a plump squirrel in her backyard, eating her feelings while watching PG-13 movies, or becoming a “sports monster” who ends up warming the bench of her Division 1 field hockey team in college. You’ll learn how she found her comedic calling in the world of improv, became a wife, mother and New Yorker, and landed the role of a bridesmaid (while simultaneously being a bridesmaid) in Bridesmaids. You’ll get to know and love the comic, upbeat, perpetually polite actress playing Erin Hannon on The Office, and the exuberant, pink-pants-wearing star of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. If you’ve ever been curious about what happens behind the scenes of your favorite shows, what it really takes to be a soul cycle “warrior,” how to recover if you accidentally fall on Doris Kearns Goodwin or tell Tina Fey on meeting her for the first time that she has “great hair—really strong and thick,” this is your chance to find out. But it’s also a laugh-out-loud primer on how to keep a positive outlook in a world gone mad and how not to give up on your dreams. Ellie “dives fully into each role—as actor, comedian, writer, and also wife and new mom—with an electric dedication, by which one learns to reframe the picture, and if not exactly become a glass-half-full sort of person, at least become able to appreciate them” (Vogue.com).
