The Pocket Idiot's Guide to EBay Motors

By: Lissa McGrath

Online auction site eBay has exploded since its inception, and now its motor vehicle sales arm is exploding as well. If you've bought or sold items on eBay before, you have some idea of the process, but buying or selling a vehicle over an online auction is more involved than selling your mother's teakettle. The buyer needs to know what to look for and what to watch out for above and beyond the ordinary considerations of buying a vehicle. And for the seller, descriptions, photos, and most other details are much more involved than when selling other ordinary items on eBay.

Spring Lake Heights

A Brief History

By: Lissa Wickham McGrath

From very humble beginnings, this small but charming borough has evolved into one of the New Jersey Shore's most vibrant business and residential communities. While Spring Lake Heights now enjoys numerous modern facilities, the town still contains many visible links to its unique past. This book explores these links and offers readers insight into various personalities, socio-economic factors, and local lore that have helped to shape the identity of this community. It includes an Irish pub that was also a brewery and stage coach stop in the late 1800s; an inn that once doubled as a brothel; a tea room once home to an international mail fraud ring; an historic cemetery and church; and a beautiful country club that once frequently hosted Richard Nixon.

Past and Future Presence

Approaches for Implementing XR Technology in Humanities and Art Education

By: Lissa Crofton-Sleigh,Brian Beams

While uses and studies of XR technology within STEM-based education have been plentiful in recent years, there has been lesser or even, at times, a lack of coverage for this novel learning tool in the arts and humanities.Past and Future Presence aims to bridge some of that gap by presenting research-based theory and case studies of successful application and implementation of XR technology into postsecondary educational settings, ranging in topics from ancient to modern languages, classical and contemporary art, and reenvisioned historical scenes and events presented in ways never seen before. The studies also contemplate how this novel medium can enhance and supplement learning in classrooms and other formal or informal learning environments. The volume as a whole is intended to demonstrate to educators, scholars, and researchers in higher education the potential value of integrating XR technology into their classrooms and to provide a strong argument for college and university administrators to invest in training and development of new research and content for classrooms inside and outside of STEM. The authors of these chapters come from a diverse range of backgrounds at different stages of their careers, providing a broad crosssection of scholastic work within the humanities and arts. Each chapter offers a different angle or approach to incorporating XR technology into teaching or research within different subject areas. As the volume suggests, this technology also places additional emphasis on the humanity within the humanities, by focusing on increasing connection between users and different cultures, time periods, and perspectives.

The Children's Book Business

Lessons from the Long Eighteenth Century

By: Lissa Paul

In The Children’s Book Business, Lissa Paul constructs a new kind of book biography. By focusing on Eliza Fenwick’s1805 product-placement novel, Visits to the Juvenile Library, in the context of Marjorie Moon’s 1990 bibliography, Benjamin Tabart’s Juvenile Library, Paul explains how twenty-first century cultural sensibilities are informed by late eighteenth-century attitudes towards children, reading, knowledge, and publishing. The thinking, knowing children of the Enlightenment, she argues, are models for present day technologically-connected, socially-conscious children; the increasingly obsolete images of Romantic innocent and ignorant children are bracketed between the two periods. By drawing on recent scholarship in several fields including book history, cultural studies, and educational theory, The Children’s Book Business provides a detailed historical picture of the landscape of some of the trade practices of early publishers, and explains how they developed in concert with the progressive pedagogies of several female authors, including Eliza Fenwick, Mary Wollstonecraft, Anna Barbauld, Maria Edgeworth, and Ann and Jane Taylor. Paul’s revisionist reading of the history of children’s literature will be of interest to scholars working in eighteenth-century studies, book history, childhood studies, cultural studies, educational history, and children’s literature.

The Savvy Author's Guide To Book Publicity

A Comprehensive Resource -- from Building the Buzz to Pitching the Press

By: Lissa Warren

Here is an essential reference for writers -- from the self-published to those published by major houses -- written by a leading book publicist who pitches books to media every day of her working life. Tapping into her years publicizing such authors as pediatrician Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, poet Mary Oliver, and economist John Kenneth Galbraith, Da Capo Press Senior Director of Publicity Lissa Warren covers book promotion with a publicist, without a publicist, and when a publicist isn't getting results. Each chapter details what happens to a book once it's off press, and how authors can be helpful in the promotion process -- or even spearhead it if need be -- to get the coverage they deserve. Warren's advice is buttressed by her stories of authors -- the enterprising, the shy, the well-prepared, and the novice -- relating tours gone awry, best-sellers made and nearly made, and great and not-so-great author/publicist collaboration. The Savvy Author's Guide to Book Publicity covers everything from how to write press material, targeting the right shows and publications, following up effectively with the media, and hiring people who can help ensure that every bookseller and consumer has a chance to hear an author's message loud and clear.

Life as a Military Spouse

By: Lissa McGrath

Life as a military spouse is especially tough these days, and information is not easy to find. Today's military has changed dramatically in just the last four years. For example, the introduction of Individual Augmentation (taking a service member from his or her current job and sending him or her to Iraq or Afghanistan for a year, usually with very little notice) has dramatically changed the level of preparedness expected of families. Shore duty no longer means a spouse will not end up deploying-something spouses need to be prepared for. The author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Life as a Military Spouseis a military spouse herself, and in her book readers will find- How to enrol your child in the Child Development Homes program. What you need to do before a permanent change of station (PCS) move. How to prepare for deployment andthe return of a spouse. Little-known but important information such as the fact that a spouse can use his or her spouse's GI bill to further his or her education if they are stationed overseas. Easy ways to calculate benefits, allowances, and special pays.
