  Starstruck - My Unlikely Road to...

  Hollywood historian and film reviewer Leonard Maltin invites listeners to pull up a chair as he tells stories, many of them hilarious, from fifty-plus years of interacting with legendary movie stars, writers, directors, producers, and cartoonists. Maltin grew up in the first decade of television, immersing himself in TV programs and the 1930s and ’40s movies hitting the small screen. His fan letters to admired performers led to unexpected correspondences, then to interviews and the publication of his own fan magazine. Maltin’s career as a freelance writer and New York Times bestselling author, as well as his thirty-year run on Entertainment Tonight, gave him access to Katharine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Sean Connery, Shirley Temple, and Jimmy Stewart, among hundreds of other Golden Age stars, his interviews cutting through the Hollywood veneer and revealing the human behind each legend. Starstruck also offers a fascinating glimpse inside the Disney empire, and Maltin’s tenure teaching USC’s popular film course reveals insights into moviemaking along with access to past, current, and future stars of film, such as George Lucas, Kevin Feige, Quentin Tarantino, and Guillermo del Toro.

  The Word of Dog - What Our...

  A heartwarming philosophical meditation on how to live a fulfilling life—inspired by the inherent happiness of dogs. 
   
   
   
  If you have spent any part of your life with a dog, you may have found certain questions popping, unbidden, into your mind: Is my dog living a fulfilled life? Is my dog a good dog? Does my dog love me? Addressing these questions compels you to confront not just your dog's life but yours as well—to think about what fulfillment, and meaning, in life really is. 
   
   
   
  In The Word of Dog, philosopher Mark Rowlands explores these questions and suggests that in dogs we can see hints—faint, shrouded, but discernible—of what a better way of living might look like. Perhaps none of us can be happy in the way a dog can, but The Word of Dog shows us we could do a lot better than we're doing simply by listening to the unspoken wisdom our dogs reveal to us every day of their happy, uncomplicated lives.

  As a music teacher and performer, I have seen many students struggle to advance beyond the beginner level. They may become frustrated or feel that they are not progressing as quickly as they would like. However, I believe that anyone can become a skilled pianist or keyboardist with the right guidance and practice. 
  I wrote this book to provide a comprehensive guide for beginners who want to take their playing to the next level. This book is intended for complete beginners who want to learn from scratch and for those who have experience with the instrument and want to improve their skills. 
  In this book, you will find a collection of exercises and techniques that will help you develop your playing abilities. Each exercise focuses on a specific skill, such as hand independence, chord progressions, or finger dexterity. By practicing these exercises regularly, you will see significant improvements in your playing abilities. 
  Additionally, this book includes simple sheet music of all-time favorites that will help you apply the skills and techniques you have learned. Playing familiar songs can motivate you and help you develop your musicality and expression.

  It’s New Year’s Eve and the last thing Spid wants to do is celebrate. Now Spidmas is over, he feels unloved and unappreciated. But just as Spid is thinking he’ll never make anything of himself, Bid comes up with an idea that changes everything.This adventure is about recognising and taking charge of your feelings. And inspiring resolutions for the year ahead. It features two songs: 'New Year Ensemble' and 'Sheen Neean Kwai Luh (Xin Nian Kuai Le)' which is Chinese for Happy New Year. You can also find music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider. Spid is a lowly spider, who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.
