Joyce Altman

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2001

Clear, fun, and informative text
In the wild, animals can usually find the right things to eat. But zoo animals can't search for their own meals; they must rely on the people who care for them. Nutritionists and zookeepers must discover what foods each animal needs to stay healthy and happy within the confines of the modern zoo. And they have to know how to serve lunch to a poisonous snake, make dinner for a thousand animals at ...

Sybex Inc, 1998

Beautifully done!
I picked up this book in my local bookstore, opened the book at random in two separate places and learned something I didn't know instantly, both times. Now that's a good book! I've been an avid CorelDRAW user since it was in version 3 way back in 1993. The software has grown in capability by leaps and bounds with each new revision, and each time I get a new version I look to see if Rick ...

Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide)

2 reviews
Rebecca Bridges Altman, Rick Altman

Peachpit Press, 2003

PowerPoint
This book is an excellent reference boook and guide book, but it is not a novel. No one will sit down and read it. It is indexed well, so one can find out how to make a specific slide quickly. Although Microsoft offers help and instruction on line, I found this book the answer to using PowerPoint well. With the elimination of good manuals from Microsoft -- I think DOS 6.0 was the last -- books ...

The American Film Musical

3 reviews
Rick Altman

Indiana University Press, 1989

scholarly masterpiece
This book may not be what the average fan of film musicals is after, but there are plenty of picture books and reference works on the musical for such readers. This is the most significant and wide-ranging study of the musical as a narrative and cinematic form anyone has yet attempted. No other serious work on the musical comes close, and despite another reviewer's complaint about academic ...

this is a great book!
This is a really good book! OK, get serious: "This is a GREAT book!". I have been working in the computer publishing world since 1988 (Macintosh Plus, PageMaker 1.0...), and I produced a lot of books for my italian publisher (don't know exactly how many, between two and three hundreds, surely), but I must say that the "Mastering CorelDRAWs" by Rick Altman are the best for me. Altman writes ...

Silent Film Sound (Film and Culture Series)

1 review
Rick Altman

Columbia University Press, 2007

A bible of reference information and vintage photos
Mention 'silent film' and most will think of images with the absence of sound but in fact, the silent film was accompanied by sound, and original research her provides a challenge to the ideas of earlier histories, revealing the changing nature and sounds of early American silent movies. In reality, silent films were not always accompanied, nor were accompaniments uniform: there was an ...

Why Most PowerPoint Presentations Suck

Harvest Books, 2007

must-have for better presentations
Big "thumbs-up" for Rick Altman's "Why Most PowerPoint Presentations Suck..." Everybody admits - our PowerPoint presentations need to improve. There's an understatement! But how? What can we do to make a real difference for our self - and our audiences? Have stacks of PPT how-to books. This is the first one that finally got the mix of technical, creative & presenter savvy right. -- and ...

Sound Theory, Sound Practice (AFI Film Readers)

2 reviews

Routledge, 1992

The best collection on film sound theory.
Sound Theory, Sound Practice is a great collection of essays that goes beyond the (then) current state of film sound scholarship. There were two main approaches: one dealing with psychoanalytic and semiotic theory, favored by the film theorists; and the other dealing almost exclusively with music, favored by the musicologists. This volume represents the work of important scholars who see the ...

Film/Genre

5 reviews
Rick Altman

British Film Institute, 1999

groundbreaking
This is a groundbreaking study, sure to change thinking about the notion of genre, within film studies and beyond. The book is also written with a wonderful sense of humor, even though this is a serious study. Don't pick this up if you just have a light interest in genre films, but if you want to think long and hard about the very category of genre itself. I'd say the book was worth owing for ...

'on the fly'
This book gives lots of information about using Corel 6 in real life, but sometimes details are skiped or missing. Many things can be found in help, or 'on the fly'. Tools and technics are described good. Book can be used by inexperianced persons with little knowledge about vector graphics and inermediate as well. Experianced can use it as handbook, but considering the size of it, sometimes it ...

The Sounds of Early Cinema

Domitor Conference 1998 (Library of Congress)

Indiana University Press, 2001

Early Cinema literature
As anticipated, I found the book to have sections pertinent to the use of magic lanterns in theatres. I gave a talk to my retirement club on Music in Silent Films, and was able to use some references from the book. Well researched and full of detail. Also quite readable.
