  • Author : Paul Karasik
  • Publisher : Fantagraphics Books
  • Release : 2017-10-31
  • ISBN : 1606993615
  • Pages : 276 pages

Download or read book How to Read Nancy written by Paul Karasik and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything that you need to know about reading, making, and understanding comics can be found in a single Nancy strip by Ernie Bushmiller from August 8, 1959. Paul Karasik and Mark Newgarden’s groundbreaking work How to Read Nancy ingeniously isolates the separate building blocks of the language of comics through the deconstruction of a single strip. No other book on comics has taken such a simple yet methodical approach to laying bare how the comics medium really works. No other book of any kind has taken a single work by any artist and minutely (and entertainingly) pulled it apart like this. How to Read Nancy is a completely new approach towards deep-reading art. In addition, How to Read Nancy is a thoroughly researched history of how comics are made, from their creation at the drawing board to their ultimate destination at the bookstore. Textbook, art book, monogram, dissection, How to Read Nancy is a game changer in understanding how the “simplest” drawings grab us and never leave. Perfect for students, academics, scholars, and casual fans.

Book Nightmare Alley

  • Publisher : New York Review of Books
  • Release : 2011-04-06
  • ISBN : 1590174283
  • Pages : 304 pages

Download or read book Nightmare Alley written by William Lindsay Gresham and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2011-04-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soon to be a major motion picture from Academy Award–winning director Guillermo del Toro and starring Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, and Toni Collette. Nightmare Alley begins with an extraordinary description of a carnival-show geek—alcoholic and abject and the object of the voyeuristic crowd’s gleeful disgust and derision—going about his work at a county fair. Young Stan Carlisle is working as a carny, and he wonders how a man could fall so low. There’s no way in hell, he vows, that anything like that will ever happen to him. And since Stan is clever and ambitious and not without a useful streak of ruthlessness, soon enough he’s going places. Onstage he plays the mentalist with a cute assistant (before long his harried wife), then he graduates to full-blown spiritualist, catering to the needs of the rich and gullible in their well-upholstered homes. It looks like the world is Stan’s for the taking. At least for now.

Book A Perfect Mess

  • Author : Eric Abrahamson
  • Publisher : Little, Brown
  • Release : 2007-01-03
  • ISBN : 0759516499
  • Pages : 336 pages

Download or read book A Perfect Mess written by Eric Abrahamson and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2007-01-03 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since Einstein's study of Brownian Motion, scientists have understood that a little disorder can actually make systems more effective. But most people still shun disorder-or suffer guilt over the mess they can't avoid. No longer! With a spectacular array of true stories and case studies of the hidden benefits of mess, A Perfect Mess overturns the accepted wisdom that tight schedules, organization, neatness, and consistency are the keys to success. Drawing on examples from business, parenting, cooking, the war on terrorism, retail, and even the meteoric career of Arnold Schwarzenegger, coauthors Abrahmson and Freedman demonstrate that moderately messy systems use resources more efficiently, yield better solutions, and are harder to break than neat ones.Applying this idea on scales both large (government, society) and small (desktops, garages), A Perfect Mess uncovers all the ways messiness can trump neatness, and will help you assess the right amount of disorder for any system. Whether it's your company's management plan or your hallway closet that bedevils you, this book will show you why to say yes to mess.

Book The Art of Asking

    Book Details:
  • Author : Amanda Palmer
  • Publisher : Grand Central Publishing
  • Release : 2014-11-11

  • Pages : 224 pages

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FOREWORD BY BRENE BROWN and POSTSCRIPT FROM BRAIN PICKINGS CREATOR MARIA POPOVA Rock star, crowdfunding pioneer, and TED speaker Amanda Palmer knows all about asking. Performing as a living statue in a wedding dress, she wordlessly asked thousands of passersby for their dollars. When she became a singer, songwriter, and musician, she was not afraid to ask her audience to support her as she surfed the crowd (and slept on their couches while touring). And when she left her record label to strike out on her own, she asked her fans to support her in making an album, leading to the world's most successful music Kickstarter. Even while Amanda is both celebrated and attacked for her fearlessness in asking for help, she finds that there are important things she cannot ask for-as a musician, as a friend, and as a wife. She learns that she isn't alone in this, that so many people are afraid to ask for help, and it paralyzes their lives and relationships. In this groundbreaking book, she explores these barriers in her own life and in the lives of those around her, and discovers the emotional, philosophical, and practical aspects of THE ART OF ASKING. Part manifesto, part revelation, this is the story of an artist struggling with the new rules of exchange in the twenty-first century, both on and off the Internet. THE ART OF ASKING will inspire readers to rethink their own ideas about asking, giving, art, and love.

Book Palm Desert

    Book Details:
  • Author : Rudy VanderLans
  • Publisher : Emigre Incorporated
  • Release : 1999
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 100 pages

Download or read book Palm Desert written by Rudy VanderLans and published by Emigre Incorporated. This book was released on 1999 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book grew out of a simple packaging design for an audio CD. It is a tribute to a near mythical figure in the world of American music, Van Dyke Parks, whose prolific career produced six solo albums, numerous movie scores, children's books and uncounted credits as a session musician, lyricist, producer and arranger. In 1998 Rudy VanderLans took a trip to Palm Desert where Van Dyke Parks is said to have written most of the material for his legendary 1968 album, Song Cycle. The trip resulted in hundreds of photographs which Rudy VanderLans says were inspired as much by this remarkable musician's lyrics as by his own impressions. The 68 images published strive to echo Van Dyke's creative approach of blending classical, historical, vernacular, experimental, political and experiential themes.
