Phil's Favorite 500
Phil Berardelli has been in love with movies ever since his first encounter as a little boy thrilled him and then scared the daylights out of him. In the intervening years, including a six-year stint as a TV movie critic, Phil has seen at least 5,000 titles. Here he has put together a list of his 500+ favorites, which he has separated into 50 categories. He has accompanied each one with informative, witty, and often insightful capsule comments along with bits of trivia, formatting descriptions and, where available, links to online trailers, clips and full-length versions. Newly updated for 2014 and containing 24 new titles -- plus a new section of recommended books -- Phil's Favorite 500 enc...
Phil' 2nd Favorite 500
In 2012, Phil Berardelli published Phil's Favorite 500, his first compilation of the titles he has most loved and admired over six decades of moviegoing. First released electronically, that list also became a paperback in 2018. During the intervening years, Phil expanded his favorites, and now he has released his second collection, aptly titled Phil's 2nd Favorite 500. But don't be misled by the name. The new list contains many, many movies that are well worth seeing and full of memorable moments. He encourages you to sample his suggestions and see if you agree that the world of cinema contains a vast bounty of enjoyment for moviegoers of all ages and tastes. As in Phil's Favorite 500, the new compilation contains, along with sparkling commentary, bits of interesting trivia, some of it unique to Phil's own experiences as a movie critic. Whether in paperback or as an ebook -- which contains links to hundreds of clips, featurettes and other references of interest -- Phil invites you to discover for yourself the many pleasures of his 2nd Favorite 500.
Driving Challenge
20,000 Collisions Waiting to Happen.That's what faces America's driving population each and every day. No wonder. An exploding population of poorly-trained, overconfident, aggressive drivers cram themselves into a barely-growing network of pavement. That's why crashes shut down parts of our metropolitan arteries almost daily. It's why bad weather always brings a spike in the number of incidents. And it's why driving remains the most dangerous thing most of us do in our lives. The Driving Challenge was written to help reduce the odds that you'll be involved in one of those 20,000 daily collisions. It is drawn from Phil Berardelli's years of painstaking observations and research, and from his own experiences as a reformed aggressive driver. Just as in Safe Young Drivers, his acclaimed book for parents and teens, Phil provides sound advice and simple rules that can make a big difference in your safety - starting with the next time you slip behind the wheel. You can be safer and happier on the road. All it requires is a willingness to change - to refuse to accept the status quo on the roads any longer.
Interviews
During his time as a journalist, Phil Berardelli encountered some exceptional people. In this small volume, Phil has compiled his most notable interviews, encompassing distinguished individuals in fields as widely divergent as cinema, public education, microbiology, bioethics and even White House science policy. It represents a small slice of the population of visionaries, people who have contributed to the quality of life, pushed the bounds of achievement and expanded the sphere of human thought. It's a worthwhile collection of interactions -- and one lost opportunity -- with some of the best minds on the planet.
Drive On!
Are you a Baby Boomer? A member of the post-World War II generation? Retiring or planning to retire at a time when U.S. life expectancy has never been higher? If so, you're part of the exploding population of senior drivers on our highways. You're also helping to create potentially massive problems for traffic planners, highway safety engineers and healthcare providers who are struggling to cope with the challenge of tens of millions of aging Americans plying the roadways... Or are you? In Drive On! six talented writers—most of them senior drivers themselves—tackle this question head-on. They sort through the many myths and misperceptions about senior drivers. They consult the best avail...
In the Stars
Nearly half a century after the first Space Age, which began in 1957 with the launch of Sputnik, the first artificial satellite, by the former Soviet Union and which touched off a desperate and highly publicized race for space supremacy between Russia and the United States, the start of a new and golden era of exploration commenced with two spectacular developments. The first two Mars Exploration Rovers landed on the red planet, and the Cassini spacecraft rendezvoused with Saturn, both in 2004. Here, in a compact but engaging collection or reports and essays, science writer and editor Phil Berardelli covered those dramatic events, and more, marking the beginning of what now can rightfully be called the Second Space Age.
Safe Young Drivers
Teenagers are by far the most dangerous age group on the road: a 16-year-old is 12 times as likely as older drivers to die in a crash as a single occupant; put two young teens in a vehicle, and the odds of death and injury nearly double. Safe Young Drivers helps to address this enormous problem. It is an indispensable guide for teaching teens to drive. Intended for parents and teens to use together, it addresses parental issues such as how to choose a car for your teen, and provides teens with simple instruction and important tips to remember. With simple graphics, a complete index, and a section called Some ABCs for the Road, Safe Young Drivers is a valuable tool for all new drivers and their teachers.
Mountain Lake Press
Mountain Lake Press and its two divisions, D Street Books and Safehaven Books, constitute one of the smallest publishers in the United States. Its current catalog comprises only 28 titles. Yet among that group reside some of the best and most praised books published in recent years. They include, for example, arguably the best book on driving instruction, the best on international business travel, the best book in the West about radical Islam, and the best memoirs, respectively, about a career in the Central Intelligence Agency and the life of an international opera star. The list also includes several excellent literary novels, among the best in contemporary fiction, along with two compelling short story collections. All of this was accomplished in a short time by a tiny but dedicated and determined staff. Who knows what new treasures Mountain Lake Press will produce in the years to come.
