Book Description
In more than nine decades of Girl Scouting, a vast popular and material culture has given rise to a wealth of Girl Scout history collections. More than an identification guide to uniforms, insignia, and other Girl Scout objects, this work also documents when changes occurred and why new items were introduced. Placing these objects in context, this essential guide provides a discerning look at the history and development of the Girl Scout Movement in the United States. Scholars and aficionados of Girl Scout history, costume history, women's studies, popular culture, and dress will welcome this indispensable and definitive resource. This new, expanded edition, with hundreds of illustrations, photographs, and tables, is indisputably the go-to source for information on all Girl Scout uniforms, insignia, awards, and handbooks, as well as dolls, postcards, posters, calendars, and more--from the founding of the Girl Scouts in 1912 through the present day. "An invaluable resource to Girl Scout councils managing a history collection. And, beyond that . . . an informative and intriguing glimpse . . . into the evolution of a Movement that . . . today is the world's preeminent organization dedicated solely to girls." --Cynthia B. Thompson, chair, National Board of Directors, and Kathy Cloninger, national chief executive officer, GSUSA "An indispensable reference for collectors; a fascinating resource for anyone interested in Girl Scouting, this comprehensive guide to Girl Scout memorabilia is firmly grounded in the history of the Girl Scouts of the United States. Mary Degenhardt and Judith Kirsch show us what Girl Scouts wore and read, and explain how changes in uniforms, insignia, and publications reflect the evolution of Girl Scout programs and the expansion of opportunities for American girls. Reading this book is like walking through a fine museum where material culture brings the past to life." --Anastatia Sims, author of Negotiating Boundaries of Southern Womanhood

Book Description
Weta Workshop is best known for the award-winning design and effects work on such films as The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian, District 9, King Kong and Avatar. Beginning with The Lord of the Rings and now including Dr. Grordbort's, Halo, Doctor Who, District 9, The Art of John Howe, King Kong, The Muppets, Superman Returns, Hellgate: London, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian among others, the company has produced several hundred high-end collectible art pieces, appealing to a wide audience of discerning collectors around the world. The artists working on the collectible art are very often the same ones to have created that creature, character, costume or prop for the film upon which it was based, bringing an unrivalled level of authenticity and purity of vision to the pieces. For the first time anywhere, this book collects all that work in one place, each piece lavishly illustrated with imagery by Weta Workshop's own photographers Steve Unwin and Simon Godsiff, and collated and written by designer Daniel Falconer. The book is a celebration of a 10-year relationship with the collecting world and contains behind-the-scenes anecdotes, biographies of many of the artists responsible and more than a thousand beautiful photographs.
