In the fall of 1925, young Allan Odell conceived the idea of using consecutive signs along the roadside. . . . In 1963 the last signs were taken down, ending the most famous outdoor advertising venture ever."—1977 Minnesota Almanac The whole story is in this book, plus all the jingles used. The signs are gone now, except for one set on permanent display at The Smithsonian. You can have them all, always, in your own library with this book. “Rowsome’s volume indexes each of the 600 jingles . . . and as you down the list, preferably reading aloud, it might evoke visions of 1940 Chevies, roadside diners, signs that said EATS. . . . Why were the Burma-Shave jingles so universally loved? Because they were light-hearted and humorous in hard times and war times."—Bov Swift, Knight News ServiceFrank Rowsome, Jr., was an American writer and editor who worked for Popular Science magazine and a respected chronicler of advertising in the 20th century. He is the author of Verse by the Side of the Road: The Story of the Burma-Shave Signs and Jingles, They Laughed When I Sat Down, and Trolley Car Treasury: A Century of American Streetcars. 3213232Frank Rowsome978045226986697804522698690007118, 15.33TPPaperbackCouverture soupleK9780452269866engPenguin Publishing GroupPlume1600.367.975.310.3250.367.975.31111993-05-06T04:00:00ZBlack WaterP10140FICTIONFICTION01AGeneral FictionFIC004000, FIC019000, FIC025000LiteraryBooks > Fiction > Literaryhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/0452269865.jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=enhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/0452269865.jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=frhttps://www. indigo. ca/en-ca/black-water/9780452269866.htmlhttps://www. indigo. ca/fr-ca/black-water/9780452269866.htmlThe Pulitzer Prize-nominated novel from the author of the New York Times bestselling novel We Were the Mulvaneys “Taut, powerfully imagined and beautifully written, Black Water ranks with the best of Joyce Carol Oates’s already long list of distinguished achievements. It can be read in a single afternoon, but, like every good book, it continues to haunt us."—The New York TimesKelly Kelleher is an idealistic, twenty-six-year-old “good girl" when she meets the Senator at a Fourth of July party. In a brilliantly woven narrative, we enter her past and her present, her mind and her body as she is fatally attracted to this older man, this hero, this soon-to-be-lover. Kelly becomes the very embodiment of the vulnerable, romantic dreams of bright and brave women—drawn to the power that certain men command—at a party that takes on the quality of a surreal nightmare. One of the acknowledged masters of American fiction, Joyce Carol Oates has written a bold tour de force that parts the black water to reveal the profoundest depths of human truth. In addition to many prize-winning and bestselling novels, including We Were the Mulvaneys, A Book of American Martyrs, Black Water, Because It Is Bitter and Because It Is My Heart, and Broke Heart Blues, Joyce Carol Oates is the author of a number of works of gothic fiction including Haunted: Tales of the Grotesque, a World Fantasy Award nominee; and Zombie, winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Best Horror Novel, awarded by the Horror Writers’ Association. In 1994, Oates received the Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award in Horror Fiction. She is the editor of American Gothic Tales.2312323JOYCE CAROL OATESE565A11F-0542-4125-BE23-3C9A79EC37A3978045226998997804522699890007118, 16.04TPPaperbackCouverture soupleC5AB8606A87B40E195079943AF264D8BengPenguin Publishing GroupPlume2240.5585.30.4250.5585.3111995-11-01T05:00:00ZMental Emotional Physical Conditioning From 1 World's Premier Sports PsychologisThe New Toughness Training For SportsP10123SportsSPORTGN01AGeneral SportsHEA007000, HEA010000, SPO041000Sports PsychologyBooks > Sports & Recreation > Sports Psychologyhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/0452269989.jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=enhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/0452269989.jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=frhttps://www. indigo. ca/en-ca/the-new-toughness-training-for-sports-mental-emotional-physical-conditioning-from-1-worlds-premier-sports-psychologis/9780452269989.htmlhttps://www. indigo. ca/fr-ca/the-new-toughness-training-for-sports-mental-emotional-physical-conditioning-from-1-worlds-premier-sports-psychologis/9780452269989.htmlFrom the author of the best-selling Mental Toughness Training for Sports comes this update on the latest athletic training techniques. | Verse By The Side Of The Road by Robert Rodriguez, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
