Product Description
This book presents the inside story of one of Britain's best loved, best known actors, which reveals in his own words, for the first time, exactly what makes him tick. Robert Lindsay describes not only the lasting influences of his childhood, schooling and family, but also how his acting started and then took off with Citizen Smith. He reflects on the highs of a runaway West End and Broadway success, the lows of a brief flirtation with Hollywood and what keeps his feet on the ground. Beyond the stories of Robert Lindsay the star - and intriguing showbiz encounters, for example with Katharine Hepburn, Michael Jackson and others - "Letting Go" sheds honest light on Robert Lindsay the man, on his relationships and his family, and provides insights into his approach to being an actor. "Letting Go" is illustrated with photographs, many previously unseen, from Robert's life and career. Robert Lindsay first found fame as sitcom star Wolfie Smith, and went on to win Tony, Olivier and Fred Astaire awards in the theatre for Me and My Girl, before finding further success on TV, earning a Best Actor BAFTA for GBH.More recently Robert has appeared on stage in "The Entertainer" and Aristo and on television in the popular BBC sitcom "My Family", but this book could be said to be dedicated to 'my family - the real one'. ...

Timeless, Wonderful, Effective, Should Be In Print Now!!!
In this well-written and illustrated book, Lindsay Wagner and her collaborator present a 20-minute acupressure program that will make a positive difference in facial looks and health too, as acupressure points usually have more than one beneficial effect when stimulated. It's easy to do and takes no more energy than sitting upright and stimulating various facial and upper body acupressure points with your fingertips for one minute each! There are also valuable and interesting tips on a healthy lifestyle, majoring in the beneficial effects of a balanced vegetarian diet. This is information that is just as up-to-date today as it was when originally published, and should remain in print for the benefit of anyone who wants or needs to make use of it! I can testify that the facelift works just as well for men as women; I can also say that I have gifted an actress friend with this book, and within only a couple of weeks of practice, she emailed me that people around her had begun to tell her that she was looking ten years younger! There are still used copies of this book available--try it for yourself!

It Works!
This book was worth every penny and then some.

The technique works.Not only do you look younger
(after repeated use), but your face feels rejuvinated.

Thank you, Lindsay!

A wonderful method
I discovered "New Beauty: The Acupressure Facelift" about five months ago and have practiced Lindsay's acupressure methods nearly every day since. I have noticed great results! I love this book and wish it would be re-printed. She provides a wonderful alternative to surgical facelifts--something plastic surgeons certainly wouldn't like! Still, I think all women should be able to learn about the benefits of facial massaging and exercises and decide for themselves if this method is right for them. It IS right for me.

Deserves Reprinting
I found this book several years ago at the public library.It delivers just what it promises, a useful method for improving circulation, health and thereby skin tone and color. Using this method provides a viablealternative to surgery. It's longer lasting, relaxing, non-invasive andcost-effective.A valuable book for anyone committed to self-responsibleself-maintenance.

Because it's out of print, I've borrowed this bookagain several times since.I've also looked for something simliar topurchase, but nothing comes close.Alas! ... Read more

Product Description
Strong vocabulary is a vital foundation needed all academic subject areas. Unfortunately, learning vocabulary is not always enjoyable or easy for students. With Vocabulary Games for the Classroom, however, Lindsay Carleton and Robert J. Marzano have devised a way to make this important instruction something both students and teachers look forward to. Vocabulary Games for the Classroom provides K 12 teachers with thirteen games designed to build academic vocabulary. While these games are certainly fun, and teachers should capitalize on the energy and excitement they generate, they should also be seen as one part of a systematic approach to direct vocabulary instruction. This resource includes hundreds of hand-picked vocabulary terms compiled from Marzano s work with schools, districts, and states. These vocabulary lists include terms for four different content areas language arts, math, science, and social studies across all grade levels. If a teacher s school or district has already established lists of academic terms for core content areas at each grade level, they can use the lists provided here as a supplement. Teachers should also feel free to make adaptations and additions to both the games and the provided vocabulary lists in order to enhance students knowledge of new terminology.The structure of Vocabulary Games for the Classroom is simple, straightforward, and easy to use. Each game begins with a brief description that includes details about which grade levels it was designed for, which subject areas it works best with, and whether the students should already be familiar with the vocabulary used or not. Next, the necessary materials are listed to help teachers prepare for the game ahead of time. Instructions to set up the game are then provided; this section includes any preparation that would need to be completed in advance. Following the set up, the game s directions are explained clearly and concisely so that the reader can visualize the game in his or her classroom. Finally, the vocabulary terms used for the game are discussed; in some cases vocabulary lists are provided, in others, the vocabulary list would be tailored to the classroom or pulled from the extensive appendix. Many games also include sample questions and exercises that can be used straight from the book. With this resource, readers will be able to make vocabulary instruction in their classroom not only fun, but also successful. ... Read more

Product Description

In a stunning repudiation of the Democratic machine, John V. Lindsay (1921-2000) captured the New York mayoralty in 1965 by promising to rid the city of apathy and corruption and make New York governable again. Over the next eight years, Lindsay presided over a city at the vortex of the civil rights, antiwar, women's, and gay rights movements, a turbulent global economy, demographic upheaval defined by an influx of blacks and Puerto Ricans and an exodus of whites, and volatile local labor politics further fractured by race. He would revolutionize urban planning, hoping to make New York not just inhabitable but enjoyable& mdash;a celebration of itself-and he would attempt to overhaul the government's services and priorities.

Some reforms succeeded. Others failed. While few have evaluated Lindsay's controversial legacy with the benefit of hindsight and within the context of national cultural upheaval, this book does just that. Edited byThe New York Times urban affairs correspondent Sam Roberts and published in collaboration with the Museum of the City of New York,America's Mayor is lavishly illustrated and features original essays by Hilary Ballon, Joshua Freeman, Jeff Greenfield, Pete Hamill, Charlayne Hunter-Gault, Kenneth T. Jackson, John Mollenkopf, Charles Morris, Nicholas Pileggi, Richard Reeves, James Sanders, and Steven Weisman. Key contemporaries such as Jimmy Breslin, Mario Cuomo, and Juan Gonzalez offer personal reminiscences enhanced by compelling documents and articles.

With his undeniable charisma and bold support for cities and urban living, Lindsay galvanized the attention of a nation at a time of looming crisis. This collection vividly reexamines the truth behind Lindsay's reputation as a failed dreamer and the forces that transformed him into America's mayor.

Overview and recommendation
This develops classical mechanics using the method of D'Alembert (Calculus of variations applied to the premise that any object moves in such a manner as to maximize or minimize some function of its motion.) In order to dig this, the reader must be comfy with elementary calculus. From this, both conservation of energy and momentum can be derived, along with much of the rest of Newton's science.A must read for any physics student unfamiliar with this topic that has an aspiration to do theoretical work ...

Exellent history and pretty good sermon

This is a history of wage and price controls, and a sermon against them.

The history portion covers antiquity to modern times, in Asia, Africa, Europe,
and the Americas, in democracies, monarchys, and dictatorships of the left and
right, from gentle, moral persuassion through "jawboning" to long prison
sentences and long lists of death sentences.

They claim controls have never worked, always cause additional social damage,
such as shortages and crime, and often make inflation worse. I know of no
counterexample of their claim.

Washington's terrible winter at Valley Forge was caused by the price controls
imposed by the Continental Congress. The Allies retained the Nazi controls
after WWII.Goering, from prison in 1946, wondered why. He could not make
it work. Why would we repeat his mistake. The German economic miracle started
almost immediately after controls were ended.

Other controllers also admitted their attempts failed.I wish the authors
had collected opinions from all controllers, admitting failure or offering
excuses.They could not, of course, because there were so many, all diverted
from doing something that might have been useful.

There is an extensive bibliography, a useful index, and chapter notes
documenting the claims in the main text.They even include a translation
of the price fixing portions of the Code of Hammurabi.

The sermon at the end is less satisfying. They summarize the historical
evidence, speculate on the process of inflation (but get the cause right
-- government), and try to demolish the plans they feared Jimmy Carter
was about to launch.

This book is over 25 years old.I did not notice anything that would have
to be erased from the history section for a second edition, just change the
speculation about Carter's actions to history and add a few more chapters.

I recommend this book for all politions, and all voters. If enough read
it, perhaps there will not need to be a second edition.

Historical Survey of Price Controls
Economy theory suggests that price ceilings produce shortages and price floors produce surpluses.Good theories should have testable results.This book describes examples in history where the government initiated price controls.It then shows the ill effects such controls caused.The most insightful criticism comes from perceptive contemporary sources who cite the source of their misery.Examples from ancient Eqypt, Hammurabi's Babylon, ancient Greece, French and American revolution, Civil War, World War I and II and the Communism states.The book was written as a polemic against political pressure to freeze prices (remember Nixon's price freeze), yet is still readable and valid today. ...

Product Description
This book relates the policy of appeasement to the personal beliefs and decisions of those responsible for foreign policy. Using Robert Hadow, First Secretary in the Foreign Office, as an example of an appeaser, this approach demonstrates how intelligent and capable men in Britain fell victim to a policy which, to many still, in retrospect, appears blind and irrational. An examination of Hadow's fear of war, his reaction to communism, his sympathy for the German minority in Czechoslovakia, and his actions inside and outside the Foreign Office in pursuit of appeasement is made in this book through detailed research of Hadow's public and private papers. By following the course of Hadow's career and the workings of his mind in the 1930s, this study explains the thinking behind a policy associated with Britain on the eve of World War II. ...
