Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Carl Barks Index Second Edition is a comprehensive index and concordance of Carl Barks' Disney comic book work created from late 1946 to early 1958 as published by Fantagraphics Books in 15 volumes so far. It updates an earlier edition that covered only the first 10 books in the Fantagraphics series, The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library. From 1942 until his retirement in 1966, Carl Barks was the most important writer and artist of Donald Duck and related comic books, including Uncle Scrooge, as well as the creator of Uncle Scrooge and many of the best-loved characters in the Duck comic books. Fantagraphics Books is now about halfway through a 15+ year project reprinting that work in an acclaimed series of mass market hardcover books in color. These books include what is generally considered to be the high point in creativity and quality of writing and drawing in Barks' career as a comic book writer and artist plus many excellent stories before and after. *******With almost 9500 data entries in the index, each entry includes book volume and page numbers for the Fantagraphics book reprinting as well as references to all of the original USA comic book first publications with comic book title, issue, and story page numbers, plus the date of creation based on Carl Barks' personal work records. Just about any question you might want to ask about Carl Barks' work-if you can think of it-you can probably find it and all references to it. Want to find every depiction of a cigar in Barks' comics? It's there. What really was the first appearance of the money bin, or its precursors, or the worry room, or Gladstone, or his luck, the Beagle Boys, Barks' pig villain characters; what stories were rewritten years or decades later? Where does that huge panel of a money dam bursting with gazillions of dollars flowing forth appear? It's all there.*******The Index covers the contents of volumes 5-19 in the series, all of the books that were in print by September, 2018, as well as the original printings of the same stories in comic books. *******The book is available in a regular edition and a LARGE PRINT edition. Both versions include the same content but the LARGE PRINT version has about twice as many pages and larger print in the Index portion of the book, 170 vs. 92 pages for the regular edition.

From 1942 until his retirement in 1966, Carl Barks was the most important writer and artist of Donald Duck and related comic books, including Uncle Scrooge, as well as the creator of Uncle Scrooge and many of the best-loved characters in the Duck comic books. So beloved and important was Carl Barks' work that from 1983 to 1990, Another Rainbow Publishing, founded by Bruce Hamilton, published The Carl Barks Library in 30 deluxe hardcover volumes reprinting all of Barks' Disney comic book work and as much other Disney related drawings and art Barks was involved with as possible. In addition to comic book work, it includes paintings, storyboard and animation drawings, model sheets, and drawings for fans, among other things. The Complete Carl Barks Index has over 29,000 lines of data in the Index. The index, which was always intended to cover all of Barks' Disney comics as published in the original comic books and as reprinted, or in some cases first printed, in The Carl Barks Library, was also expanded to include Barks' non-Disney comics and also, later, Disney comics not included in The Carl Barks Library, and not even published until after The Carl Barks Library had been completed. There is even Barks comic book work first published after Barks' death, including work that has not yet been published in the USA or even in English. This has led to some additional material being added to the index as late as 2016. All of that is included in the Index. Information has also been included to make the Index useful even with other reprints in addition to the original comic books and the The Carl Barks Library. Each data entry includes reference to the original USA comic book publications with comic book title, issue, and story page numbers. It also includes reference to The Carl Barks Library publication including set, volume, and page reference, as well as submission dates, based on Carl Barks' personal work records. Just about any question you might ask about Carl Barks' work, if you can think of it, and it is included in Barks' opus, you can probably find it and all references to it. Want to find every depiction of a cigarette in Barks' comics or a listing of every half page display panel and other large sized panels? It's there. What really was the first appearance of the money bin or its precursors, or the worry room, or Gladstone's luck, every appearance of the Beagle Boys, all incarnations of Barks' pig villain characters, what stories have a camel in them, what Barney Bear and Benny Burro story was rewritten as an Uncle Scrooge story, what other Barks stories were rewritten years or decades later? Where does that huge panel of a money dam bursting with gazillions of dollars flowing forth appear? It's all there in the Index. There are also a dozen chapters of introduction, historical, and background material, topics of special interest, and a Foreword by Michael Barrier.

Other than 2 black and white illustrations, there are no other illustrations in the book. As a consequence, print-on-demand copies cost $18 extra to print each book in color. Such are the economics of print-on-demand publication. They are offered for sale at an introductory price $15 higher than the regular edition as a courtesy to those who might be interested in having the illustrations in color. And I earn less money on each sale in order to keep the introductory price below $50. The main point of interest in the book in either edition is, I believe, the Index to the work of Carl Barks, but if anyone wants to pay $15 extra for a few pages of color illustrations, it is currently available as an option.

Book excerpt: The Carl Barks Index: A Concordance of the Comics of Carl Barks as published inFantagraphics Books Complete Carl Barks Disney Library volumes 5-14 and the original Comic Booksby Kim WestonThis book is a comprehensive index and concordance of Carl Barks' prime period Disney comics as published by Fantagraphics. From 1942 until his retirement in 1966, Carl Barks was the most important writer and artist of Donald Duck and related comic books including Uncle Scrooge, as well as the creator of Uncle Scrooge and many of the best-loved characters in the Duck comic books. Fantagraphics Books is now 5 years into a 15 year project reprinting that work in an acclaimed series of mass market hardback books in color. The 10 volumes already published include all of Barks' Disney comic work created between December 1946 and March 1953, including the creation of Uncle Scrooge in 1947, and also all issues of the Uncle Scrooge title through issue #12 in 1955. This period is probably the high point in creativity and quality of writing and drawing in Barks' career as a comic book writer and artist and includes a majority of Barks very best work.With over 6,000 lines of data in the Index, each data entry includes book title and page numbers for the Fantagraphics Book printings as well as references to all of the original USA comic book first publications with comic book title, issue, and story page numbers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten stories by Carl Barks in this book, mostly unavailable since their original printings in comic books, are collected here together for the first time. The stories include 3 early Benny Burro stories, 2 early Droopy stories (actually titled Happy Hound), and an Andy Panda story from 1943, a 24 page Porky Pig story from 1944, and 3 more Droopy stories from 1952 and 1953. Also included are 2 Barney Bear and Benny Burro stories from 1945. All of the stories are sourced from high quality masters except for three for which there are no known surviving masters: Andy Panda, Porky Pig, and one of the 1953 Droopy stories. As collected in this book, newly colored and sourced from original masters, the stories look much better in this book than in previous printings. In this edition, the Porky Pig story has been newly restored with new black line plates and completely recolored. It looks much better than the original printing or any subsequent reprints. The Andy Panda and 1953 Droopy story also have been restored with new black line plates and their color has been cleaned up and partially recolored; this also represents a significant improvement over an earlier edition of this book. The 2 Happy Hound stories were altered from the way Barks drew them before their original publication and appear in restored versions which are intended to showcase them as Barks originally intended for them to be seen. The same is true for the 2 Barney Bear and Benny Burro stories; indeed, that is the reason for their inclusion here, despite being reprinted in another book recently. All 26 Barney Bear and Benny Burro stories, the bulk of Barks' non-Disney work, are in print in the USA in another book, The Carl Barks Big Book of Barney Bear; unfortunately original masters were not used for their reproduction.*******Every story that Carl Barks wrote or drew featuring Disney characters during his career as a comic book creator has been reprinted, often many times, in comic books and albums, and books. The Disney work is the most important of Barks' work, but Barks also wrote and/or drew 36 other comic book stories featuring non-Disney characters between 1943 and 1953; these have been less-well served in reprinting and are much less well-known. They are generally comparable in quality to the average of the Donald Duck work he was doing at the same time. A few of them are quite creative and delightful, and stand well with the best short story work he was doing at the time. Most of them have been out-of-print since their publication decades ago in comic books. This book is intended to remedy that situation.*******When combined with Craig Yoe and IDW's The Carl Barks Big Book of Barney Bear, The Unavailable Carl Barks (in color) brings back into print all of the non-Disney comic book stories written and/or drawn by Carl Barks. Owners of the earlier edition of The Unavailable Carl Barks (in color) may also be interested in Restoring Carl Barks, a short book which collects only the same newly restored versions of the Porky Pig, Andy Panda, and 1953 Droopy story that appear in this revised edition.

Book excerpt: Star artists from around the globe each draw a chapter of Mickey's wildest adventure -- from Giorgio Cavazzano (Disney Masters) to Mike Peraza (Mickey's Christmas Carol) to Marco Rota, plus dozens more! While celebrating his birthday at a carnival, Mickey crosses the threshold of a fortune-teller's mystic portal and finds himself flung headlong into an amazing journey. He encounters one phantasmagorical dimension after another -- a fractured fairy tale kingdom, a cubist realm, and outer space -- with plenty of dragons, mummies, and giant mouse-eating plants along the way. (Not to mention alternate versions of Goofy, Peg Leg Pete, and the Phantom Blot!) Can Mickey get back? How deep does this rabbit hole -- er, mouse hole -- go?

Book excerpt: The definitive portrait of one of the most important cultural figures in American history: Walt Disney. Walt Disney was a true visionary whose desire for escape, iron determination and obsessive perfectionism transformed animation from a novelty to an art form, first with Mickey Mouse and then with his feature films–most notably Snow White, Fantasia, and Bambi. In his superb biography, Neal Gabler shows us how, over the course of two decades, Disney revolutionized the entertainment industry. In a way that was unprecedented and later widely imitated, he built a synergistic empire that combined film, television, theme parks, music, book publishing, and merchandise. Walt Disney is a revelation of both the work and the man–of both the remarkable accomplishment and the hidden life.

Book excerpt: "A work of enormous breadth, likely to pleasantly surprise both general readers and experts."—New York Times Book Review This revolutionary book provides fresh answers to long-standing questions of human origins and consciousness. Drawing on his breakthrough research in comparative neuroscience, Terrence Deacon offers a wealth of insights into the significance of symbolic thinking: from the co-evolutionary exchange between language and brains over two million years of hominid evolution to the ethical repercussions that followed man's newfound access to other people's thoughts and emotions. Informing these insights is a new understanding of how Darwinian processes underlie the brain's development and function as well as its evolution. In contrast to much contemporary neuroscience that treats the brain as no more or less than a computer, Deacon provides a new clarity of vision into the mechanism of mind. It injects a renewed sense of adventure into the experience of being human.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statistical Rethinking: A Bayesian Course with Examples in R and Stan builds readers’ knowledge of and confidence in statistical modeling. Reflecting the need for even minor programming in today’s model-based statistics, the book pushes readers to perform step-by-step calculations that are usually automated. This unique computational approach ensures that readers understand enough of the details to make reasonable choices and interpretations in their own modeling work. The text presents generalized linear multilevel models from a Bayesian perspective, relying on a simple logical interpretation of Bayesian probability and maximum entropy. It covers from the basics of regression to multilevel models. The author also discusses measurement error, missing data, and Gaussian process models for spatial and network autocorrelation. By using complete R code examples throughout, this book provides a practical foundation for performing statistical inference. Designed for both PhD students and seasoned professionals in the natural and social sciences, it prepares them for more advanced or specialized statistical modeling. Web Resource The book is accompanied by an R package (rethinking) that is available on the author’s website and GitHub. The two core functions (map and map2stan) of this package allow a variety of statistical models to be constructed from standard model formulas.

Book excerpt: Ten stories in this book, mostly unavailable since their original printings in comic books, are collected here together for the first time, along with a few other gems. Also included are several virtually unknown works by Barks which have not previously been collected anywhere. Four of the stories in this book appear in restored versions which are intended to showcase them as Barks originally intended for them to be seen. All of the stories are sourced from high quality masters except for three for which there are no known surviving masters. As collected in this book, newly colored and sourced from original masters, the stories look much better in this book than in previous printings. The 26 Barney Bear and Benny Burro stories, the bulk of Barks' non-Disney work, are in print in the USA in another book, The Carl Barks Big Book of Barney Bear; however, unfortunately, original masters were not used for their reproduction. The Unavailable Carl Barks also includes a comprehensive index to all of Carl Barks' non-Disney comics, and other introductory, historical, and background articles, totaling about 40 pages. Every story that Carl Barks wrote or drew featuring Disney characters during his career as a comic book creator has been reprinted, often many times, in comic books and albums and books. The Disney work is the most important of Barks' work, but Barks also wrote and/or drew 36 other comic book stories featuring non-Disney characters between 1943 and 1953; these have been less-well served in reprinting and are much less well-known. They are generally comparable in quality to the average of the Donald Duck work he was doing at the same time. A few of them are quite creative and delightful, and stand well with the best short story work he was doing at the time. Most of them have been out-of-print since their publication decades ago in comic books. This book is intended to remedy that situation.
