Book Description
Dance of the Blue Chameleon is set in the northern regions of San Diego County and southern regions of Riverside County, California, in the mid-1980s. It's a time before cell phones and the Internet when communications were manual, if not practical. It transpires in a region that would change dramatically in the years to come. The story revolves around a group of friends and acquaintances drawn together by an event that takes on new shapes and dimensions as it unfolds. From a simple traffic accident to a political scandal, its characters evolve with the moments and with the times. There's sex, drugs, murder, and mayhem along the way. It's a story of everyday characters in an ever-changing world. It's a dance with the blue chameleon of fate.

Book Description
For Ages 2-6. Carlos, the Chameleon is bored being just verde (green) on a leaf or marrón (brown) on a trunk. He wants to be more colors. When he inches out on a limb, he sees a lot of colors that he would like to be: Amarillo (yellow); Roja (red); and Purpura (purple). And he becomes each of these colors, when he dances with Mariposa Amarillo (The Yellow Butterfly), Rosas Rojas (The Red Roses), and Tulipan Púrpuras (The Purple Tulips). Happy now, he sings, "Life is Exciting; Life is Fun, when you're out on a limb; Out in the SUN!" His friends warn him that if he keeps dancing out on the limb, he will get caught and be fried in a tortilla. Does he get caught and end up in a tortilla? Not this guy! This story is a fun way for children 2-6 to learn not only colors in English and Spanish, but also to acquire easy verbs, nouns, adjectives, as they dance the words. Arlene N.

Book Description
From What's Up, Tiger Lily? to Match Point, Woody Allen's work has generated substantial interest among scholars and professionals who have written extensively about the director. In The Films of Woody Allen: Critical Essays, Charles L.P. Silet brings together two-dozen scholarly articles that address the core of Allen's work from a variety of cultural and theoretical perspectives. With a special emphasis on his films of the 1980s, this collection includes both general essays that examine various themes and issues encompassed in Allen's repertoire, as well as discussions that focus on one or two specific films. General essays explore Allen's Jewish background as a religious and cultural facet, his apparent love affair with New York City, and his relation to various strains of humor_particularly American film humor, but also Allen's broad use of such traditional comic tropes as irony and parody. The essays on individual films include examinations of some of Allen's most significant work including Love and Death, Annie Hall, Interiors, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Hannah and Her Sisters, Manhattan, and Shadows and Fog. A number of the articles collected here were originally published in now hard to locate places, while others were selected from journals not usually associated with film studies. The result is an anthology of essays that presents an overview of the central issues raised by Allen's body of work as well as a close examination of fourteen individual films that convey these larger themes. A wide-ranging exploration of one of America's most innovative and productive modern directors, this book should appeal to both professionals and students of contemporary film comedy.
