M.A.S.H. star reflects on interesting twists in life
It seems that some of showbiz' most famous people have come from shaky starts. Alan Alda is one such man. His early days as a child of Vaudville exposed him to a lifestyle that made him resiliant, witty, able to make firm career decisions, more interesting and ultimately more successful.

If you are looking for Hawk-Eye, you've found the man behind the lense, with a depth of character that shows what was beneath the comical lines. This is the man who had written into his contract that every M.A.S.H. episode contain a surgical scene, making it more than just another comedy.

The writing is superb, the photos interesting. His love of his family is obvious, as is his understanding of mental illness and other cultural issues that we understand better today.

A man ahead of his time, this is a great read for the fan, or the fan yet to be. ... Read more

From the back cover
This is what is written on the back cover of the book:
Raising Children For Heaven Is Not An Accident-It Is A God-Incident And You Are A Part Of His Plan!
The Catholic Handbook of Child Growth, Development, & Learning is a child development resource and reference book written especially for Catholic families and professionals. The Catholic Handbook presents critical information that every Catholic parent and adult who works with children from birth through adulthood should know. The Catholic Handbook addresses a wide range of topics related to children's development in a comprehensive, user-friendly way. It is designed to help parents and professionals intentionally nurture children to their fullest potential, not only as children in their care, but more importantly as children of God.
The Catholic Handbook separates child development information into six broad topic areas called domains. These are affective (moral, spiritual, emotional, self-concept) social, creative, cognitive, language, and physical. The domains are further divided into 96 specific traits or characteristics called "target objectives". Each target objective explanation references Scripture passages and the traditions of our Catholic faith. As you read about each of the 96 target objectives you will learn: what it is; how Christ expresses it; why it is important; how a child might express it; author's notes; and what you can do to support it (over 1500 activity ideas).
A PLANNING RESOURCE
As a planning resource, you will be able to read about a specific characteristic of development and plan ways to support it in children.
AN ENVIRONMENT RESOURCE
As an environment resource, you will find new and original ways to use the equipment, materials, and activities in the home/classroom to nurture and support specific aspects of children's development.
AN ASSESSMENT RESOURCE
As an assessment resource, you will be able to easily interpret children's actions and interactions as
evidenced in observations, work samples, photos, interviews, self-reports, and other types of assessments.
A PARTNERSHIP RESOURCE
As a partnership resource, you will discover creative ways to mutually support children's growth, development, and learning in the home and classroom. As you do this, you will realize the great benefits of true partnerships with families.
Each time you reference The Catholic Handbook, you will see how our human growth and development has been made whole and holy by Jesus taking on our nature and restoring us to the dignity of being a child of God. You will be drawn to read the Gospel stories that illustrate how Christ's expressed the 96 target objectives while on earth. The more you learn about child development in the light of Christ's own development, the more confident you will become in your ability to interact in intentional ways with your children. Most important of all, as you learn about the target objectives, you will come to recognize the critical role and responsibility given to you by God, to nurture and support His children into a Kingdom-awareness now. We must never forget that raising children for heaven is not an accident-it is a God-incident and we are all a part of His plan!

Learn the inside scoop of life in the theater
If you're interested in what it's like to live your life in the theater, you should read this book.
I wanted to read a book highlighting some of the past fifty years of work from someone who was truly on the inside, and I'm glad I picked this up. It's a fast paced tour of the life of a talent who didn't chase leading roles but enjoyed the work of a character actor, playwright, agent, and investor in all aspects of theater. He describes life on the road, in summer stock, and on Broadway with many of the stars of the last half century.
It's a page-turning story of someone whose heart was in the theater and made a fascinating life out of it.
Well recommended.

A Must for any theatre buff.
I am not in theatre, but I love going to theatre, and after reading Richard Seff's informed and informative memoir, I feel I've just relived the last 50 years of my life. He has captured the Golden Age of Broadway, and put it all down with insight, humor, and great joy. I've seen so many of the shows with which he was involved, but it was great fun 'going backstage' with him, eavesdropping and listening inon all those goings on.
Bert Cohen

It is a lively, lovely read
Normally the theater is not my standard reading material, but I found this a very entertaining and heart warming book. Mr. Seff knows the business well and has a knack with words. The result isan entertaining and often funny look at the "behind the scenes" happenings in modern theater. Filled with many well know personalities, even to this non-theater buff, the book leaves one wishing they had been there. I particularly enjoyed the sense of getting to know Mr. Seff and all his comrades, and was reluctant to put the book down and no longer be part of their lives. ... Read more
