Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. For those guitarists who have a basic understanding of chords and an appreciation that the voice often goes its own way in searching for appropriate keys in which to sing, this little guide will help you to transition from one key to another. The capo does a good job in changing keys, obviously; however, this guide helps you find the chords much faster, even when you have to change the form of the chord. In terms of minor, 6th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, diminished, augmented, and suspended chords in flat and sharp constructions, a good chord book will guide you through what notes to move, add and drop. To this effect I included an image of all the notes on a guitar neck as well as a chart of basic chords at the end of every transition section.For the beginner, know that sharps (#) have corresponding flats (b), and that a sharp is a half step above a basic chord, with the exception of B to C and E to F, which are considered full steps (even though the chord only moves up one fret.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. "Pineapple Hands" is the long-awaited volume of poetry and prose by Norwood appliance repairman Warsaw Santiago. With an Introduction and an array of digital collages by Edward Morneau, PH is a fectile and not uncertain accomplishment of art and literature. Using the ancient koan as a framing device, Santiago explores themes as varied as 'Beauty', 'Truth, ' and 'The UPS." Here are a few samples: On Not Knowing One's License Has Expired. The rancorous dog does not forget his rancor When he feasts upon the substance of his daily meal, Yet, grows as a weed in rancor When not reminded of his hunger Because of the rancorous weed. On Happiness. Impossible it is to find joy on the beach of sorrow, With so much sand and not enough time To count on a million laughs. On Authority. Authority's grim, lad- 'Specially when it sits down And thinks. Who knows what's at rest: The mind or the ass? Santiago revisits the myth of "Babel" in his short story, "The Frog Tree"; laughter in Hell with "Puritans Go Swimmin'; and law and the death of the haberdasher in "Attorneys for Larry." Literary critic, Arthur Science writes, "Pineapple hands, if anything, is the answer to all of life's riddles." Morneau's collages complement the mystery of the Polish-Bolivian poet, and while his own obsessions with the rare Monkeymen from the ancient Jungles of Malta may be off putting to airy summer readers, those in the winter of their discontent will love these works. "Lincoln & the Serpent in a Fishtank," "Dragon Flowerhead Johnny," and "Annie Oakley & Rip Van Winkle in No Man's Land" are among the many that will leave you horrified and charmed. Santiago was an excellent repairman for Maytag and Sears, but rails against front loaders, which Morneau explores in his Introduction. As a result, Santiago now lives in exile with the Rolling Stones. Morneau is the author of several books--"Willy Loman, Nosferatu," "Billy Budd, WTF?", and "Teacher on Rye" and has enough Santiago's koans to publish at least seventeen more books of his work.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. "The Tangles" is a novella geared to young and adult readers. It is about three eighth graders and the caretaker of Egan's pond in Maine who discover a submerged UFO in this pond and the secrets occurring within the mysterious craft. These secrets affect the water and flora surrounding the pond in unusual ways and raise the curiosity of strangers and authorities who want to investigate these changes. To the children and the caretaker, this threatens the stability of the pond and its occupants, as well as the secret."The Tangles" has no monsters, no aliens, no dark forces, and no violence driving its narrative. But it does have a profound lesson about childhood, hope, curiosity, life, and the how we are connected to our astonishing universe. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. "Billy Budd, WTF?" is a parody of Herman Melville's classic "Billy Budd," specifically the play adaptation by Louis O. Coxe and Robert Chapman, which strips Melville's story to the bone in search of the mighty themes of Law, Order, Justice, Authority, Conscience, Good and Evil. Morneau dispenses with these themes and pursues more useful themes such as: What if you were fighting against the French and instead of them shooting cannonballs from their guns they shot fine French cuisine? What would you fire back? What if your crew mates were Frankenstein, the Wolfman, Dracula, Zorro, James Joyce and a guy named Ranch Dressing? Would you fit in? What if the force of evil on this war time cruise was a man who made lesser men laugh themselves to death? Can anything be that funny? What if you were captain of this ship but were more interested in puppet making and pantaloons? Do these obsessions give him moral authority? What if the bilge rats on your ship sang at certain intervals and functioned as a Greek chorus? Would you sing along? Somehow all of this comes together to entertain, to indict war and bad chowder, and bring about some of Melville's themes in ways that perplex this writer. It's also a musical! This is the second parody of great literature Morneau has authored. His first, "Willy Loman, Nosferatu," speaks for itself and yet doesn't speak at all, as it is not yet a book on tape.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. "Willy Loman, Nosferatu (or Biffo, the Vampyre Slayer)" is a parody of two of the most beloved American stage classics, Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" and Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie." It turns out that the "Loman Line" is not Miller's lacerating examination of the selling of the American dream and his sympathy for the soul of the everyman, but a line of the Undead (Nosferatu) that have left a ruinous legacy of lunacy and calamity behind them. Willy Loman finds himself brought back to life and seeks revenge, while his two sons somehow become involved with the Wingfield family from "A Glass Menagerie," who have all found themselves reunited in Queens fifteen years after Willy's "first death." Wally of WPDP3 says, "Read the first two and cry; read the third and wonder why." This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. This student edition of George Orwell's 1984 Focus Study Guide is nearly the same as the teacher edition, except that it does not have the recommended objective assessments, which are normally geared to a district's learning frameworks. The highlights feature fully annotated and in-depth analyses of the following: "Goldstein's Book," Orwell's essays on "Nationalism" and "Politics of the English Language," and Christopher Hitchens' "Why Orwell Matters." Reading comprehension questions and models of essay and research writing mirror the in-depth pursuit of meaning of this great work of literature. General considerations of myth, archetype, satire, nationalism, fascism, essential questions that apply to any work of literature, and complete bibliographies of dystopian literature, film, and graphic novels make this focus guide a complete resource for parallel and further studies.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. "The Strawman and Other Short Stuff" is a collection of fables, stories, and odd writings concocted when I was a teacher. Each story was born during 'passing time'--that magical, restful moment a teacher has in between classes, when students are passing through the corridors of school, fetching things from their lockers, kibitzing about teenage daydreams, making out, suppressing anger and excitement, and plotting their next moments of teen engagement, or not. When the bell rang and the kids had taken their seats, I would jot down what I was thinking during this blessedly brief lull instead of taking attendance. From these thoughts I grew these stories, proving that inspiration does not have to be stirred in the meditative presence of fire, water, or dystopian suffering. While the title story, "The Strawman" is based on a true event, the rest of the tales are literary masques of deception. In this way, I can make big ideas appear small, important notions of life seem casual, and the general ambivalence of our lost humanity seem specific to only pre-selected characters, giving the reader a sense of dis-ownership and, therefore, safe harbor. Just kidding!These are fun stories. Where else can you read about baseball and basic hygiene joining forces to conquer the world's most difficult sport ("The Legend of Poopy Unders")? No other collection of short stories would dare to retell the story of The Tower of Babel through the young, innocent eyes of a tadpole ("The Tree Frog"). You like Gustav Mahler (and who doesn't?)? "Adagio" will make you laugh, cry, and wish your own life was a series of minor chords culminating in the throes of emotional wrath and despair. If you've ever had residual telekinetic powers, you'll love "Childhood's End" (which is a true story). There's so much more: A dystopian story about a society based on laundry; another tale about Broccoli Cochise and his dummy Geronimo Puck (both who had co-starring roles in "Teacher on Rye"); a serious story about the abolishment of capital punishment, a sort-of one-act Shakespearean musical about someone Orang, and two plays: one called "CSI: SUV," and a three-act work about BFD's, the world's largest department store. I think. It's all here in this one nifty book. Enjoy! This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. High school teacher Oliver MacDuff pulls an old vaudeville prank on another teacher and accidentally discovers that he will not be reappointed. Accepting his fate and disenchanted with the politics of teaching in America, MacDuff decides to teach his mind, think out loud, and dispense with all hypocrisy inherent in the profession, while falling in love, pursuing the perfect chowder, and engaging a cast of characters certain to make his transition into a Flamenco dancer one of great success. Part satire, part essay, part literary experimentaion, "Teacher on Rye" is a passage through a profession that is misunderstood, but revealed in Morneau's book with tenderness, a bit of lunacy, a critical eye, but a loving embrace of the capacity children have to change.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. "Igloo" is a selection of poems and lyrics by Edward Morneau, illustrated with the author's collages. The pieces are collected from over thirty years of writing poetry or composing lyrics for songs. The idea of 'igloo' is to give comfort to ideas and themes that are immediately lyrical, instead of formal, which often 'freezes' out of contemplation--works too elusive for meaningful understanding. Some poetry begs to be dismantled into disparate parts. The pieces in "Igloo" seek some immediacy, while the attendant collages invoke the mystery to which 'difficult' poetry aspires.
