Collage art and film date back to the early 20th century (the
earliest collages have roots in 12th century Japan). It was rooted
in the age of consumerism where artists addressed an array of
political and social issues by creating a carefully crafted
collision of pre-existing images and sounds to generate new
meanings and commentaries on the surrounding world. Collage has
also pushed the boundaries of animation, by incorporating other
artistic forms (e.g. photography, live action, experimental cinema,
literature, found sound) while exploring an array of social,
cultural and political issues. In Earmarked for Collision,
award-winning writer, Chris Robinson (The Animation Pimp, Mad Eyed
Misfits, Unsung Heroes of Animation), takes us on a tour of the
history of collage animation, cataloguing the collage works of
notable artists like Larry Jordan, Harry Smith, Stan Vanderbeek,
Terry Gilliam, Janie Geiser, Martha Colburn, Lewis Klahr, Run
Wrake, Lei Lei, Kelly Sears, Jodie Mack and many, many others.

Informal sequel to Unsung Heroes of Animation and Animators
Unearthed. Analysis of a wide range of films and filmmakers
including cult favourites Don Hertzfeldt, Adam Elliot, and Masaaki
Yuasa
The Ottawa International Animation Festival (OIAF) began in 1976
and stands today as one of the oldest and largest animation events
in the world. One of the unique features of the OIAF is the
inclusion of commissioned writings that provide attendees with a
more in-depth background into the festival's special screenings.
These writings have not only contextualized the festival
presentations but have also contributed significantly to animation
education and scholarship. The Corners are Glowing is a selection
of the best writings (many unseen for decades) culled from past
OIAF catalogues. These wide-ranging texts cover the spectrum of
animation from the familiar (Daffy Duck, Pee Wee Herman, Bob
Clampett, Joanna Quinn, Hiyao Miyazaki, Frank Tashlin) to the more
esoteric (Robert Breer, Emily Pelstring, Taku Furukawa, Michael
Sporn, and even the use of furniture in animation!). The Corners
are Glowing is a valuable time capsule that celebrates animation's
past and present, and the styles of writing are as diverse,
enlightening, and fun as the animation subjects being written
about.

This book analyzes the highly contentious payday lending industry,
presenting valuable new data collected during Canada's recent
regulatory reviews and demonstrating its relevance to payday
lending conversations taking place worldwide. The authors treat the
industry with a balanced hand by establishing its importance as an
example of financialization and acknowledging the complex impact of
payday lending services on low-income and credit-constrained
clients. Up-to-date data from an interdisciplinary mix of
financial, econometric, legal, behavioral economic, and
socioeconomic sources-all in the context of an established Canadian
industry-provide both proponents and opponents of payday lending
with valuable evidence for their discussions of how much regulation
is required to minimize harmful consequences. These insights from
Canada expand a US-centric conversation and provide a key resource
for the growing list of countries in which the industry is present,
from the UK and Poland to South Africa and Australia.

How can we help heal children who have been abused or neglected?
Healing Child Trauma Through Restorative Parenting details how
children can be helped to recover with the use of Restorative
Parenting, an innovative model informed by psychological and
neurological understanding of trauma and its effects. It explains
the critical role that people, relationships and the environment
play in a child's recovery. It shows what constitutes a therapeutic
environment, whereby a child experiences therapy not as one-to-one
sessions but as a lived experience. The authors show how other
components of the model - building therapeutic relationships,
promoting positive education and encouraging clinically informed
life style choices - are intimately linked, each critical to the
re-parenting which the child undergoes. This book will be welcomed
by professionals working with children, including those in
residential, health and foster care, psychology, education and
health, as well as those commissioning services. The models,
concepts and practices are transferable to public, private and
charitable agencies.

Ever wonder why Estonian animation features so many carrots or
why cows often perform pyramids? Well, neither question is answered
in Chris Robinson s new book, Estonian Animation. Robinson s frank,
humorous, and thoroughly researched book traces the history of
Estonia s acclaimed animation scene from early experiments in the
1930s to the creation of puppet (Nukufilm) and cel (Joonisfilm)
animation studios during the Soviet era, as well as Estonia s
surprising international success during the post-Soviet era. In
addition, Robinson writes about the discovery of films by four
1960s animation pioneers who, until the release of this book, had
been unknown to most Estonian and international animation
historians."

A revolutionary fitness book by Chris Robinson that will change
your body and your life
Personal trainer Chris Robinson has helped celebrities,
athletes, top executives, and ordinary people from coast to coast
tone their muscles and melt away pounds in a matter of weeks with a
simple workout philosophy: "train from your core." To most, the
core is synonymous with washboard abs, but it also encompasses
twenty-nine muscles in and around your trunk, pelvis, hips,
buttocks, and lower back. A strong core gives you the stability and
mobility you need for better posture and balance, reduced back
pain, and a more effective overall workout.
In "The Core Connection," Chris invites a team of five brave men
and women with busy, stressful lives to follow his life-changing
regimen for six weeks. The result -- a combined total weight loss
of 78 pounds Chris's unique program integrates the important
principles of Pilates -- emphasis on core strength, muscle control,
breathing, and correct posture -- into standard cardio and
weight-bearing exercises for a total body workout. By learning to
engage all the muscles in your core, you also increase your calorie
burn and reduce your risk of injury.
"The Core Connection" is a safe, effective, portable workout
that is perfect for people of all ages and fitness levels. Chris's
explicit, easy-to-understand instructions are accompanied by clear
illustrations that will help you check your form as he focuses on
the specific aspects of alignment, muscle control, and breath that
are essential for achieving the maximum benefit from each exercise.
He offers a plan for simple, total body workouts that include mat
work to help you find and feel your core muscles, cardio, and
strength training -- with the option of using weight machines or
your own body weight. He also shares important tips for improving
your diet without completely giving up the foods you love.
"The Core Connection" is more than just a workout plan. It's a
totally new approach to your life. Your body is only as strong as
its core. With Chris Robinson's help, you can look and feel better
than ever.
