For freshman and sophomore courses in Art History Survey (1 or 2 semesters) and Art Appreciation. Designed as a comprehensive supplement to Janson's History of Art, Sixth Edition, Hartt's Art, Fourth Edition, Gardner's Art Through the Ages, Eleventh Edition, and Stokstad's Art History, Second Edition — but also appropriate as a stand-alone brief reference text — this handbook defines the most common terms used in discussing the history of visual arts, relating them to specific works illustrated in these standard texts.
While the success of Disneyland is largely credited to Walt and Roy
Disney, there was a third, mostly forgotten dynamo instrumental to
the development of the park - fast-talking Texan C. V. Wood. Three
Years in Wonderland presents the never-before-told, full story of
""the happiest place on earth."" Using information from over one
hundred unpublished interviews, Todd James Pierce lays down the arc
of Disneyland's development from an idea to a paragon of
entertainment. In the early 1950s, the Disney brothers hired Wood
and his team to develop a feasibility study for an amusement park
Walt wanted to build in southern California. ""Woody"" quickly
became a central figure. In 1954, Roy Disney hired him as
Disneyland's first official employee, its first general manager,
and appointed him vice president of Disneyland, Inc., where his
authority was exceeded only by Walt. A brilliant project manager,
Wood was also a con man of sorts. Previously, he had forged his
university diploma. A smooth-talker drawn to Hollywood, the first
general manager of Disneyland valued money over art. As relations
soured between Wood and the Disney brothers, Wood found creative
ways to increase his income, leveraging his position for personal
fame. Eventually, tensions at the Disney park reached a boiling
point, with Walt demanding he be fired. In compelling detail, Three
Years in Wonderland lays out the struggles and rewards of building
the world's first cinematic theme park and convincing the American
public that a $17 million amusement park was the ideal place for a
family vacation. The early experience of Walt Disney, Roy Disney,
and C. V. Wood is one of the most captivating untold stories in the
history of Hollywood. Pierce interviewed dozens of individuals who
enjoyed long careers at the Walt Disney Company as well as dozens
of individuals who - like C. V. Wood - helped develop the park but
then left the company for good once the park was finished. Through
much research and many interviews, Three Years in Wonderland offers
readers a rare opportunity to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the
men and women who built the best-known theme park in the world.
