&ldquo;Deliriously entertaining&hellip;In Thompson&rsquo;s vivid rendering, LeRoy Robert Ripley (1890-1949) leads a life best described as Horatio-Alger-as-directed-by-Preston-Sturges-at-his-madcap-best&hellip;At the peak of his popularity, &lsquo;Believe It Or Not&rsquo; had more than 80 million readers and received around two million fan letters a month.&#160; Meanwhile, Ripley&rsquo;s personal life was as overstuffed as his professional one, as he compulsively collected objects, pets, and mistresses to fill his grand 28-room mansion&hellip;Reading A Curious Man, it&rsquo;s easy to see the hunger into which Ripley tapped still raging&hellip;his comics feel akin to one&rsquo;s inaugural adventures into YouTube, particularly in its early days.&#160; The novelty or even extremity is not the true appeal&mdash;instead, it&rsquo;s the experience.&#160; Random discovery.&#160; Each link leading to other links, creating&#160;a simulacrum of worlds both remarkably similar and different from our own.&rdquo;--Megan Abbott, Los Angeles Review of Books&#160;&ldquo;The life story of Robert &lsquo;Believe It or Not!&rsquo; Ripley is as intriguing as the many oddities in which he delighted.&rdquo;--Entertainment Weekly&#160;&ldquo;An engaging, fast-moving biography&hellip;makes the case that Ripley was among the first media celebrities, and that his affection for the grotesque and the extreme shaped American pop culture.&rdquo;--Columbus Dispatch&ldquo;Robert Ripley was as unique and fascinating as the &lsquo;Believe It or Not&rsquo; newspaper feature that made him one of the most popular and widely read syndicated cartoonists in the country during the 1930s, and Thompson delivers an equally fascinating biography that captures the influence of Ripley&rsquo;s work life then and now, well into the age of television and the Internet &hellip;.Thompson superbly shows how Ripley&rsquo;s work is the basis for today's more extreme reality shows by teaching readers &lsquo;to gape with respect at the weirdness of man and nature.&rsquo;&rdquo;--Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Thompson paints a picture of Ripley as a brilliant but aggressively eccentric man, a globe-trotting curiosity seeker who always believed there was something even more unusual just around the corner. A Curious Man is a fine introduction to a man who, for most of us, has been merely the name above a famous title.&rdquo;--Booklist&#160;"Ripley's amazing American life itself plays out like an impossible fairy tale."-Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;Robert Ripley's life is just as weird and riveting as a two-headed snake or an 8,000 rubber band ball. And Neal Thompson has told the story brilliantly in this book. What's truly unbelievable is that it's taken us so long to get a full-fledged biography of this great American character, a man who tapped into our fascination with bizarre non-fiction and who can rightly claim to be the godfather of Reality TV. It was worth the wait.&rdquo;&#160;&ndash;A.J. Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author of The Know-It-All and The Year of Living Biblically"A Curious Man is the rollicking, terrific story of one of America&rsquo;s greatest men&hellip;Ripley brought back to an awed nation the richness of an endlessly exotic world, and Neal Thompson tells the story with a perfectly-pitched sense of what makes such a man, and a nation, tick." --Peter Heller, New York Times bestselling author of The Dog Stars&#160;&ldquo;The breathtaking life of a quintessential American: a Frankenstein monster stitched together with equal parts genius, bravado, insecurity, and propaganda. &#160;A master of oddities, Ripley himself was the purest form of his own collection and Neal Thompson is his wondrous exhibitor.&rdquo;--Brad Meltzer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inner Circle &#160;&#160;"Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that the history of a time can be resolved in the biography of a few stout and earnest people.&#160; Robert Ripley was certainly one of those and, in this fascinating account, Neal Thompson rescues for us a colorful slice of history."&#160;&ndash;Colum McCann, bestselling author of Let the Great World Spin&#160;"Anyone who wants to understand America needs to read this book&hellip;Neal Thompson gives us a vivid portrait of this complex, restless man in all his maniacally conflicted glory."--Ben Fountain, Winner of the Pen/Hemingway Award and author of the National Book Award Finalist Billy Lynn&rsquo;s Long Halftime Walk&#160;"Intelligent and gripping&hellip;Neal Thompson expertly captures the surprisingly complex character of Robert Ripley, and a life nearly too fantastic to be believed."&#160;--Karen Abbott, author of Sin in the Second City and American Rose &#160;&ldquo;Neal Thompson has written the book many writers dream of &mdash; the Great American rags-to-riches story&mdash;and done it in an intoxicating way. The story of the man who created &lsquo;Ripley's Believe It Or Not&rsquo; is a rip-roaring tale of head-shaking amazement.&rdquo;--&#160;Marc J. Seifer, author of Wizard: The Life & Times of Nikola Tesla&#160;&ldquo;In a way that I&rsquo;m not sure I was expecting, the book builds real sadness into the considerable momentum of its narrative. Neal Thompson constructs an elegant argument: the world Ripley created is the world in which we now live.&rdquo;--David Shields, New York Times bestselling author of The Thing About Life Is that One Day You&rsquo;ll Be Dead&#160;"A Curious Man is a work of real beauty and fun and emotion -- and intense readability. It is a single-session book, one of those that takes your clock and renders it mute until the book has had its say. Thompson is the genuine article: smart and witty, empathetic and a pleasure to read."--Darin Strauss, bestselling author of Half a Life and Chang and Eng&#160;&ldquo;For the first time anywhere, Neal Thompson brings us Ripley in all his gaudy glory, crafting a hardboiled Horatio Alger story for a media-obsessed age."-Tom Reiss,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author of&#160;The Black Count&#160;and&#160;The Orientalist&#160;&ldquo;Like Robert Ripley, Neal Thompson has a nose for&#160;the strange and wonderful.&#160; A Curious Man is a rich, compelling read for fans of the exotic and uncanny.&rdquo;--Stewart O'Nan, bestselling author of The Odds&#160;"A biography of a man who was as unusual as the items he collected&hellip;An outstanding work&hellip;I couldn't pull myself away."--Frank Brady, bestselling author of Endgame: Bobby Fischer&rsquo;s Remarkable Rise and Fall &ndash; from America&rsquo;s Brightest Prodigy to the Edge of Madness&#160;&ldquo;Ripley's life turns out to have been as weird as his facts.

Ardi Kolah has made a very valuable contribution to our thinking in this important and rapidly growing marketing discipline.’ - Sir Paul Judge, President of the Association of MBAs
‘Sponsorship as a subset of marketing is a subject that’s often treated on a cursory basis or ignored if those teaching marketing are unsure how best to cover the subject in a robust and interesting way. This book takes a holistic view of this fascinating aspect of marketing. Packed full of examples Kolah has produced something that’s highly relevant and timely for both brand owners, rights holders and agencies that must focus not just on outputs but outcomes from their marketing budgets. Kolah’s six-step sponsorship model is a powerful tool for improving the performance of sponsorship and the book is ESSENTIAL READING for anyone that wants to achieve brand marketing and sales objectives from sponsorship.’ - Anne Godfrey, CEO, Chartered Institute of Marketing

A useful tool for sponsors and rights holders alike.’ - Simon Rines, CEO, International Marketing Reports
‘Sponsorship has come a long way since it depended on the chairman’s whim and fancy. But how marketers are actually doing sponsorship and, equally important, how they measure what gets done is often a case of ‘hit and miss’. This book provides both experienced practitioners and those new to marketing with an admirably clear and well-structured guide to the key features in the sponsorship landscape. And readers couldn’t get a better sponsorship guru. Ardi has the rare gift of combining lucid writing and academic rigour with a truly detailed knowledge of the field – what he doesn’t know about sponsorship would probably fill a postage stamp, just.’ - Daryn Moody, Publishing Editor, Journal of Brand Strategy
‘Providing absolute currency in today’s marketing world, the book is a font of knowledge to help any marketer navigate the increasingly powerful world of sponsorship at all levels, and importantly not just the global deals that grab the headlines.’ - Howard Kosky, CEO, Markettiers4DC

This new book really captures all the essentials of running successful sponsorship programmes. It highlights the opportunities, the controls and the pitfalls using recent examples from around the world – and it would certainly have been very helpful to have had this book when I was running Olympic and World Cup campaigns for Coca-Cola. Ardi is able to make even the most complex theories understandable and raises crucial questions for the reader to answer as their contribution to the never ending dialogue of how to achieve true marketing success.’ - Jeremy Stern, Managing Director, PromoVeritas
‘Having known Ardi for a number of years personally and professionally I know he has a true passion for educating marketers and brand owners on the commercial benefits of sponsorship. He understands that sponsorship is so much more than printing a logo on a shirt or getting a celebrity to endorse a product. This book is a must read for anyone wanting to leverage their sponsorship investments beyond the usual 'slap a logo on it' methods to gain true return on investment through strategic sponsorship activation.’ - Lena Robinson, Founder, Kiwi Girl Limited and Ex-Group Business Development Director (UK) - Dentsu Aegis Network
‘There are two sides of the equation when it comes to sponsorship. The body receiving the sponsorship and the body giving the sponsorship. Maximising the benefits and rewards for both in the partnership requires considerable planning and forethought in the relationship. For all those involved or considering sponsorship this is a must have book. There are few books and even training modules that will equip you to improve your investment whichever side of the equation you may be on.’ - Manjit Biant, Management Consultant
‘Ardi Kolah is a highly respected expert in the field of sponsorship. His latest book assists rights holders and brand owners reach a deeper appreciation of the strategic value of sponsorship as part of the marketing mix in helping to drive sustainable, profitable growth of these businesses and organisations.’ - Phil Jones, Founder & Organiser, Podge Events

"This book is a thoughtful reminder of what curriculum and teaching have meant in the past and could mean again in a brighter future."
Nel Noddings, author of Education and Democracy in the 21st Century

"Curriculum work really starts with people, not with theories.　 Professor Henderson understands this.　 This magisterial work offers a strong analytical focus on the pedagogical features of the curriculum – on the interactive life of the teacher and the student.　 The field of Curriculum Studies has long languished with a multiplicity of theories that has challenged its disciplinary integrity. Too many of its practitioners have pledged avoidance to institutional and normative concerns. Professor Henderson’s work defies this trend and offers renewed promise to fulfill the historic involvement of curriculum professors in the work of the school.　 We have waited too long for this thoughtful and exciting line of inquiry."
