"In addition to all of this, the margins of the book are peppered with creative tips and production warnings as a bonus 'To Do or Do Not' list. Draven supplies information ranging from camera selection to the use of CGI in smaller productions. Many previous instructional film books provide a lot of information in a dry manner that read like textbooks but Draven wisely embraces technology and offers a companion website to the book that allows specific examples of production forms andcontracts. The site also presents candid interviews and behind the scenes footage and trailers for several titles in Draven's filmography. An access code (provided within the book) is required to view the exclusive content and is well worth checking out. The Filmmaker's Book of the Dead is filled with tons of valuable information that will not only apply to horror fans, but to filmmakers across all genres working on a smaller budget.--HorrorTalk.com
"Danny Draven's book, The Filmmaker's Book of the Dead How to Make Your Own Heart-Racing Horror Movie is a terrific new 'How To' for aspiring indie horror filmmakers. In fact, there's a ton of great information packed inside making it a great go-to reference for anyone involved with indie production, not just horror. If you want to learn how to make a horror movie without enrolling in film school, this book is where your journey should start!"--Todd Debreceni, Makeup Effects Artist/Designer, Author of Special Makeup Effects for Stage and Screen Making and Applying Prosthetics (Focal Press, 2008)
"...the reader will find interviews with filmmakers Charles Band, Stuart Gordon, Lloyd Kaufman, David DeCoteau and J.R. Bookwalter...followers of cult cinema will be thrilled to hear these masters of low-budget features discuss the hazards of the industry. The Filmmaker's Book of the Dead is filled with tons of valuable information that will not only apply to horror fans, but to filmmakers across all genres working on a smaller budget."--ZigZag, horrortalk.com
"Set tips and applications from an award-winning director, enhancing his perceptions with interviews with horror legends from Stuart Gordon (of Re-Animator) to Tom Savini (Night of the Living Dead). The result is a fine history of horror and pre-production techniques key to putting on a superior production."-- CA Bookwatch
"The book covers every step of the filmmaking process (pre-production, production, post-production, and marketing) and is full of the author's experience and advice. There are also several insightful interviews throughout the book where horror icons such as Stuart Gordon, Robert Englund, and Tom Savini, dispense advice to aspiring filmmakers. The book is beautifully laid out and is full of great images. There is also a companion website to the book where you can download examples of forms used in filmmaking and watch multimedia examples of topics discussed in the book. The Filmmaker's Book of the Dead is an amazing resource for all aspiring filmmakers in any genre."--FamousMonstersofFilmland.com
"In 2010, Draven published his first book entitled The Filmmaker's Book of the Dead: How to Make Your Own Heart-Racing Horror Movie. Contained within is a wealth of information about making your own independent movie, including all of the tips, tricks, and money-saving shortcuts that Draven uses on his own films. In addition to his own wisdom, the book contains interviews with some of the most respected figures in independent horror including James Wan, Tom Savini, Lloyd Kaufman, and a foreword by Full Moon's own Charles Band."--FullMoonHorror.com

La leyenda indígena sobre la conquista de las Islas Canarias, un capítulo de historia hispánica

MAHOH Libro I

In this informative picture book, the anthropomorphic Plymouth Rock describes its history. An unnamed fact checker, who appears to be a light-skinned young woman with red glasses and a bun, confirms or corrects the rock&rsquo;s story. The rock&rsquo;s rhyming prose is written on an unrolled scroll of paper. Red ink is used to clarify or dispel the rock&rsquo;s take on its own history. For example, &ldquo;The disembarkers stepped on me,/ first footfalls toward their liberty,&rdquo; claims the rock. However, the fact checker writes, &ldquo;No large rock or stepping stone is mentioned in any of the travelers&rsquo; journals or logs.&rdquo; Yolen also addresses the Indigenous community. The fact checker provides an honest account of how the colonizers impacted Native people: &ldquo;More and more colonists soon arrived and took Native land to build their houses. They treated the Native people brutally and dishonestly.&rdquo; Both Yolen&rsquo;s text and Streed&rsquo;s cartoon illustrations are inviting. At times the poetry is a tad awkward&#160; (&ldquo;Now placed in/ a portico,/ my life once more/ is put on show&rdquo;) but in general, the poetry keeps pace with the prose. This title is best suited to an audience who has some familiarity with Plymouth Rock. VERDICT Humorous pictures supplement prose and poetry to create a unique, clever, engaging picture book about one aspect of early American history.&mdash;School Library Journal

"Charming and rowdy ... it's&#160;a book that gathers his old friends together, as if around a table, and lets them talk."&#160;&mdash;Dwight Garner, The&#160;New York Times"Solitude & Company is outstanding as a work of journalism and a pleasure to read. This is as close as you&rsquo;ll ever get to spending a day with the master himself." &mdash;Juan Gabriel V&aacute;squez, author of The Sound of Things Falling "Solitude & Company captures Gabo&mdash;the man, the times and the places that created him. How a man from the Caribbean made a universe that the world embraced. Everyone who loves Gabriel Garc&iacute;a M&aacute;rquez's work will enjoy this wonderful book."&#160;&mdash;Benicio Del Toro"A disquieting portrait of the man who propelled Latin American writing into the global markets. Nobody is more judgmental or crueler than the friends we made before we came to be whatever we are, but at the same time nobody can be more generous and accurate. The perhaps savage honesty of the persons who knew good old Gabo before he reached the stratosphere with the publication of his landmark novel&#160;One Hundred Years of Solitude&mdash;many of them characters in the book&mdash;offers tools to understand the person of the author better than the hagiographic writing of academic biographers." &mdash;Alvaro Enrigue, BookPost&ldquo;If I may be allowed to mix up a metaphor: This is a kaleidoscopic cocktail of voices&mdash;vibrant, eloquent, intoxicating&mdash;inspired by that endlessly fascinating literary magician Gabriel Garc&iacute;a M&aacute;rquez (a.k.a. Gabo/Gabito/etc.). And the cocktail has been mixed and shaken, expertly and knowingly, by Silvana Paternostro.&#160;&iexcl;Salud!&rdquo; &mdash;Gerald Martin, author of&#160;Gabriel Garc&iacute;a M&aacute;rquez: A Life"This magnificent research brings an unprecedented, different, and revealing perspective."&#160;&mdash;Huffington Post"It would be difficult to imagine a writer and editor more qualified to assemble this oral history of Garc&iacute;a M&aacute;rquez&#160;than Silvana Paternostro. Coming from the world and culture that spawned magical realism, she studied under and has continued to study the master of the genre; yet she has lived in America long enough to have a firm command of its cultural nuances, as well. Add to that her own gifts as an analyst and storyteller, and you have a volume that is both deeply insightful and a fitting testimonial&mdash;in short, an absolute gift."&#160;&mdash;Caleb Carr, author of&#160;The Alienist&#160;and&#160;The Lessons of Terror: A History of Warfare Against Civilians."Irresistibly readable and fun, it&rsquo;s a perfect accessory to the age of twitter. A world of storytelling in which nothing is false and everything is possible." &mdash;Melik Kaylan,&#160;Forbes"It's a unique glimpse into the life of a man who has become as much a myth as the magical stories he penned, as only someone like Paternostro could have crafted over decades of dedication." &mdash;Santa Fe Reporter"Solitude & Company&#160;is a human, fresh, and irreverent portrait of Gabriel Garc&iacute;a M&aacute;rquez in which the voices of his friends, his loved ones, and even his detractors, who had never shared their stories, are interwoven."&#160;&mdash;Educac&iacute;on y Cultura AZ&ldquo;If I may be allowed to mix up a metaphor: This is a kaleidoscopic cocktail of voices&mdash;vibrant, eloquent, intoxicating&mdash;inspired by that endlessly fascinating literary magician Gabriel Garc&iacute;a M&aacute;rquez (a.k.a.

’In the first edition of his book, Andrew Pithouse took us behind the scenes of a busy child care team in a Social Services Department and gave us a fascinating insight into how social workers create relationships with their departments, their colleagues and their clients. Ten years later, a return to the same department and a new edition of the book gives us not only the original sharp observations of the sociologist but an intriguing historical perspective on the changing landscape of social work.’ Professor David Howe, University of East Anglia, UK  ’The experienced and novice child protection social worker will nod and smile at some of the descriptions of supervision and case discussions in the practice context...This is an accessible work, available to a wide audience, and one that provides descriptive insights rather than analytic into the juxtaposed experience of two generations of British child protection social workers who find practice meaning through storying their cases.’ Social Work Review
