How Not to Go Boating: Avoid Making a Fool of Yourself at Sea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 86min
This is the perfect book for any new boater or any person invited to be a guest on someone else's boat. It covers all the things not to do on a boat, with many suggestions on the proper conduct while aboard. Also included is an informative glossary of words not to say, when describing things on a boat. Lots of personal experiences are mentioned that show how to avoid becoming a jerk at sea. People have commented that one of the most helpful portions of the book was the section on seasickness - what causes it, how to avoid it, and what to do if it arises, because nobody is immune to it; it's just a matter of the tolerance level of the individual. This updated and much more comprehensive edition of the book also contains valuable information for any person wanting to graduate from boat guest to boat owner and discusses things that every first-time boat owner should know about, because it doesn't make any difference how many cars, trucks, or pieces of real estate one may have bought and sold, the first time boat-buying process is unique, and requires some special knowledge not usually available to anyone who has never done it before. Just remember these three rules, and you'll have a very enjoyable time on a boat: Keep the people in the boat Keep the water out of the boat Try not to bump into anything or get lost Happy boating! ungekürzt.

Buster Keaton: A Filmmaker's Life
From acclaimed cultural and film historian-a major biography, the first in more than two decades, of the legendary comedian and filmmaker who elevated physical comedy to the highest of arts and whose ingenious films remain as startling, innovative, modern-and irresistible-today as they were when they beguiled audiences almost a century ago. "It is brilliant-I was totally absorbed, couldn't stop reading it and was very sorry when it ended."-Kevin Brownlow It was James Agee who christened Buster Keaton "The Great Stone Face." Keaton's face, Agee wrote, "ranked almost with Lincoln's as an early American archetype; it was haunting, handsome, almost beautiful, yet it was also irreducibly funny. Keaton was the only major comedian who kept sentiment almost entirely out of his work and . . . he brought pure physical comedy to its greatest heights." Mel Brooks: "A lot of my daring came from Keaton." Martin Scorsese, influenced by Keaton's pictures in the making of Raging Bull: "The only person who had the right attitude about boxing in the movies for me," Scorsese said, "was Buster Keaton." Keaton's deadpan stare in a porkpie hat was as recognizable as Charlie Chaplin's tramp and Harold Lloyd's straw boater and spectacles, and, with W. C. Fields, the four were each considered a comedy king--but Keaton was, and still is, considered to be the greatest of them all. His iconic look and acrobatic brilliance obscured the fact that behind the camera Keaton was one of our most gifted filmmakers. Through nineteen short comedies and twelve magnificent features, he distinguished himself with such seminal works as Sherlock Jr., The Navigator, Steamboat Bill, Jr., The Cameraman, and his masterpiece, The General. Now James Curtis, admired biographer of Preston Sturges ("definitive"-Variety), W. C. Fields ("by far the fullest, fairest and most touching account we have yet had. Or are likely to have"-Richard Schickel, front page of The New York Times Book Review), and Spencer Tracy ("monumental; definitive"-Kirkus Reviews), gives us the richest, most comprehensive life to date of the legendary actor, stunt artist, screenwriter, director-master.- Shop: buecher
