Ted Roggen
Press Releases

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Press Releases is an insightful glance into the life of one of Houston`s most successful advertising and public relations men. A veteran of fifty years in the business, entrepreneur Ted Roggen paints a colorful picture of five decades in the advertising and public relations arena. In a series of graceful vignettes about the many prominent clients he has represented over the years, Press Releases is less an autobiography than a loosely woven history of one man`s memory, as it has wound itself around the partiuclarity of places and times that will not come again. With humor and grace, Mr. Roggen not only gives the reader an unforgettable glance into his own life, but also a glimpse into the lives of many prominent figures who helped to shape the style and glamour of an era.

Bernhard Fulda
Press and Politics in the Weimar Republic

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Press and Politics offers a new interpretation of the fate of Germany`s first democracy and the advent of Hitler`s Third Reich. It is the first study to explore the role of the press in the politics of the Weimar Republic, and to ask how influential it really was in undermining democratic values. Anyone who seeks to understand the relationship between the press and politics in Germany at this time has to confront a central problem. Newspapers certainly told their readers how to vote, especially at election time. It was widely accepted that the press wielded immense political power. And yet power ultimately fell to Adolf Hitler, a radical politician whose party press had been strikingly unsuccessful. Press and Politics unravels this apparent paradox by focusing on Berlin, the political centre of the Weimar Republic and the capital of the German press. The book examines the complex relationship between media presentation, popular reception, and political attitudes in this period…. [detailed...]

Description: A party planner to the stars offers guidance to the earthbound on creating the perfect celebration, from designing the ideal lighting to choosing the best floral arrangements.

Both reassuring and inspiring, Bailey details ways to maximize party space, outlines the divergent effects of candlelight and electric light, gives useful suggestions for designing an event to please… [detailed...]

Singletary entered the world of glassblowing as an assistant, mastering the techniques of the European tradition as he worked alongside Seattle-area artists such as Benjamin Moore and Dante Marioni. He also had opportunities to learn the secrets of the Venetian glass masters while working with Italian legends Lino Tagliapietra and Pino Signoretto.

Pretend We`re Dead: Capitalist Monsters in American Pop Culture

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In Pretend We’re Dead , Annalee Newitz argues that the slimy zombies and gore-soaked murderers who have stormed through American film and literature over the past century embody the violent contradictions of capitalism. Ravaged by overwork, alienated by corporate conformity, and mutilated by the unfettered lust for profit, fictional monsters act out the problems with an economic system that seems designed to eat people whole. Newitz looks at representations of serial killers, mad doctors, the undead, cyborgs, and unfortunates mutated by their involvement with the mass media industry. Whether considering the serial killer who turns murder into a kind of labor by mass producing dead bodies, or the hack writers and bloodthirsty actresses trapped inside Hollywood’s profit-mad storytelling machine, she reveals that each creature has its own tale to tell about how a freewheeling market economy turns human beings into monstrosities. Newitz tracks the… [detailed...]

Pretending You Care: The Retail Employee Handbook

2007 y.
Publisher: Hyperion
Description: Ah, retail. It has lured in the best of us with promises of employee discounts (a sham), the `fun` of working with people (not so much), and flexible hours (don`t make me laugh). What we got instead: cranky customers, sadistic managers, idiotic coworkers, and, oh yeah, the hell that is doing inventory. But there are ways to lessen the pain, and this retail handbook will show you how. Inside you`ll learn how to handle the crazies (both customers and coworkers), feign product knowledge, and make the best of working the register, all the while, of course, pretending you care. This book takes years of retail experience and condenses it into a guide that is as funny as it is useful. If you work in retail now, have done so in the past, or plan to do so in the future: this is the book for you. [detailed...]

Pretending and Imagination in Animals and Children

Description: This book provides an overview of recent research presenting conflicting interpretations of children`s understanding of the psychology of pretense and describes sociocultural factors which influence children`s pretenses. Studies of nonhuman primates provide examples of their pretenses and other simulative activities, explore their representational and imaginative capacities and compare their skills with children. Although the psychological requirements for pretending are controversial, evidence presented in this volume suggests that great apes and even monkeys may share capacities for imagination with children and that children`s early pretenses may be less psychological than they appear.
