The Exceptionally, Extraordinarily Ordinary First Day of School
On the first day back to school from summer vacation, John is the new kid. When the librarian asks him if the school is any different from his last one, he begins a wildly imaginative story about what it was like. What follows are hilarious scenarios—his old school bus was a safari jeep pulled by wild creatures, the school was a castle, and the lunch menu included worms! His imagination wins him the attention and awe of his librarian and peers, setting the tone for a compelling story about conquering the fears of being a new kid, as well as the first-day jitters that many children experience. Albert Lorenz’s over-the-top illustrations, reminiscent of the work of MAD magazine’s early artists, bring the story to life. Speech bubbles and side panels make reference to and define objects in the art (in the most humorous and irreverent way).
Drawing in Color
A start-to-finish guide to architectural rendering in colour. Rather than limiting the book to a particular technique, it covers colour illustration in pen, pencil, marker, brush, and airbrush, explaining the qualities of each. The book begins with a thorough analysis of colour theory, then progresses through a discussion of the basic equipment, media and technique. To demonstrate the effective use of colour in illustration, the authors show first a black-and-white line drawing, then a full-size colour detail, and finally the finished colour drawing. By explaining colour choices, the authors teach how colour can be used to enhance drawings of both interiors and exteriors, which can help enormously in getting commissions.

Exit, Voice, and Loyalty
An innovator in contemporary thought on economic and political development looks here at decline rather than growth. Albert O. Hirschman makes a basic distinction between alternative ways of reacting to deterioration in business firms and, in general, to dissatisfaction with organizations: one, “exit,” is for the member to quit the organization or for the customer to switch to the competing product, and the other, “voice,” is for members or customers to agitate and exert influence for change “from within.” The efficiency of the competitive mechanism, with its total reliance on exit, is questioned for certain important situations. As exit often undercuts voice while being unable t...
