Box Girl: My Part-Time Job as an Art Installation
by Lilibet SnellingsWhen 22-year-old Lilibet Snellings moved to Los Angeles on a whim, she unintentionally became a "slash" to keep her head above water-a writer/waitress/actress/Box Girl. One night each week, Lilibet would go to The Standard Hotel in West Hollywood, don a pair of white boy shorts with a matching tank, touch up her lip gloss, and crawl into a giant glass case behind the front desk. There, she could do whatever she wanted-check email, catch up on reading, even sleep-as long as she ignored the many hotel guests who would point and ask the staff, "Is she allowed to use the bathroom?" (Yes.)Dog-paddling through her twenties, Snellings resisted financial bailouts (for the most part) from her sweet Southern mother and business-oriented dad, while pondering her peculiar position as a human art installation. Was she a piece of art or a piece of ass? Was she allowed to read both Walt Whitman and US Weekly as she lounged in an oversized, waterless aquarium behind a hotel concierge desk? From misinterpreting a modeling agency interview as a talent audition, to avoiding Bond-girl-style deaths at New Year's Eve parties, Snellings shares and laughs at her many mishaps while living in LA.
BOX handleiding: Lexicaal Semantische Afasietherapie
by Evy Visch-BrinkBOX is een therapieprogramma voor de behandeling van lexicaal-semantische stoornissen. Deze stoornissen komen frequent voor bij afasiepatiënten, onafhankelijk van het type afasie. De patiënt kent woordbetekenissen niet of niet volledig. 'Tram’ wordt bijvoorbeeld opgevat als ‘bus’ of in plaats van ‘lepel’ zegt men ‘vork’. Bij een ernstige lexicaal-semantische stoornis wijken de fouten nog meer af van het doelwoord. Ook komt het voor dat de patiënt niets zegt of de specifieke inhoudswoorden omzeilt door generalisaties (‘dingen’, ‘doen’ etc.). Het niet of gedeeltelijk onderkennen van woordbetekenis beïnvloedt het begrip en de productie van geschreven en gesproken taal.BOX bestaat uit 8 onderdelen: semantische categorieën, semantische gradiënt, syntagmatische en paradigmatische relaties, deel-geheel relaties, bijvoeglijke naamwoorden en uitroepen, semantische anomalieën, semantische definities en semantische context.In ieder onderdeel zijn twee of drie moeilijkheidsgraden verwerkt. De oefeningen worden in geschreven woorden aangeboden. De patiënt kan het antwoord zeggen en/of aanwijzen. BOX bestaat uit meer dan 1000 oefeningen en kan gebruikt worden voor minimaal 60 uur therapie.
Box of Butterflies: Discovering the Unexpected Blessings All Around Us
by Roma DowneyA NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Roma Downey—best known as the beloved angel on the TV show Touched by an Angel—&“has created a beautiful and personal testimony to the presence of God in our lives and our world&” (Most Reverend José H.

Box of Butterflies &“will touch you and move you and strengthen you&” (Kathie Lee Gifford).
Box Office Archaeology: Refining Hollywood's Portrayals of the Past
by Julie M. SchablitskyUniversity of Oregon-based archaeologist Schablitsky presents readers interested in film, archaeology, and history with this comparison between Hollywood portrayals of historical peoples and the reality as determined by archaeologists. Thirteen chapters take on the big screen's portrayal of Pocahontas and other American Indians, early Chinatowns, the Civil War submarine, the African American experience, the Titanic, pirates, mummies, and the Old West. The methodology for the archaeological assessment of film fiction is also described. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Box Office Archaeology: Refining Hollywood’s Portrayals of the Past
by Julie M. Schablitsky“How true is it?” is a common refrain of patrons coming out of movie theatres after the latest film on pirates, Vikings, or mummies. While Hollywood usurps the past for its own entertainment purposes, archaeologists and historians know a lot about many of these subjects, digging up stories often more fascinating than the ones projected on screen. This distinguished group of archaeologists select key subjects and genres used by Hollywood and provide the historical and archaeological depth that a movie cannot—what really happened in history. Topics include Egypt, the Wild West, Civil War submarines, Vikings, the Titanic, and others. The book should be of interest to introductory archaeology and American history classes, courses on film and popular culture, and to a general audience. Alternate Selection, History Book Club.

Box to Box: From the Premier League to British Boxing Champion
by Curtis WoodhouseThe football world is filled with stories of talented young footballers who have thrown it all away before drifting into obscurity. Similarly, the tale of an ageing boxer who won the title against the odds is so familiar it has become a cliche. But put the two stories together and you've got something special: wasted footballers simply don't become boxing champions - at least they didn't before Curtis Woodhouse. Woodhouse had been destined for greatness. At the age of 17 he made his debut for his local club, Sheffield United, and quickly went from earning £42 a week to £4000 a week. Suddenly he felt like a rock star, and began living like one - which didn't help his football. Initially, there wasn't a problem, and he earned four England Under-21 caps, playing alongside the likes of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard. As his drinking increased and he began getting involved in fights, he was sold to Birmingham City at 20 and saw his wages double - but so did his problems. After a brawl, he was sentenced to 250 hours' community service, and when he finally reached the Premier League he ended up playing against Liverpool while still drunk. He'd fallen out of love with the game. After another transfer, manager Barry Fry suggested he take up boxing to provide an outlet for his anger, and a new passion was born. While still playing football, he became determined to make it as a boxer, and endured a long, hard battle to develop the skills to give him a chance, and in September 2006 he made his professional debut. With his father on his deathbed, Woodhouse made a promise: he would win a British title. On 22 February 2014, he got his chance against Darren Hamilton - 'I knew I wouldn't lose.' Packed with brilliant stories and searingly honest insight, Box to Box shows how anyone can achieve their dreams - if they work hard enough.
The Box Turtle Manual
by Philippe De Vosjoli Roger J. KlingenbergThe Box Turtle Manual seeks to "help prospective owners keep their turtles healthy and happy." Given the low price tag placed on a box turtle in a pet shop, many casual shoppers add a box turtle to their household without preparation or knowledge about how to keep the animal alive. Since quality information is difficult to find on box turtles, Philippe de Vosjoli and Dr. Roger Klingenberger remedy the situation with this Advanced Vivarium Systems edition dedicated to box turtles. The authors believe that these popular and beautiful turtles...."may teach you one or two lessons about the delicate balance of life, natural law, and the many ways in which intelligence in manifested in nature." The book presents background information and guidelines for caring for a box turtle, including selecting a health specimen, acclimating the turtle, indoor and outdoor housing, heating and lighting requirements, feeding and handling, hibernation and breeding. The authors recommend three specific species of box turtles as good pet candidates: they provide photos and information on ornate box turtles, common Asian box turtles, and Chinese box turtles. Dr. Klingenberger provides a chapter on diseases and disorders that gives specific advice about dealing with dehydration, nutritional problems, parasitic problems, and vitamin deficiency. A five-page troubleshooting chart for health problems concludes the chapter. Resources and index included.

The Box Wine Sailors: Misadventures of a Broke Young Couple at Sea
by Amy McculloughThe true story of a young couple who quit their jobs and set sail for a year on the ocean with no boating experienceAmy and Jimmie were not sailors and their experience on the seas included reading a few books, watching a couple of instructional videos, and boating once a week each year. They were middle-class land-lubbers, audacious and in love, and all they wanted was to be together and do something extraordinary. The Box Wine Sailors tells the true story of a couple's ramshackle trip down the coast with all the exulting highs and terrifying lows of sailing a small boat on the Pacific. From sailing on Thanksgiving morning under spectacular bright blue Californian skies just off the Channel Islands as dolphins raced alongside their boat to the terrifying experience of rounding Punta Gorda and hanging on to the mast for dear life. It also tells the story of two very normal people doing what most people only dream of and settling the argument that if you want something bad enough you can make it happen.

Boxes: The Secret Life of Howard Hughes
by Douglas WellmanEva McLelland was good at keeping secrets, and she had a big one. Sworn to secrecy for thirty-one years until the death of her husband, Eva was at last able to come forward and share a story that turns twentieth century history on its head and fills in puzzling blanks in the mysterious life of the tycoon Howard Hughes. How could Hughes appear to witnesses as an emaciated, long finger-nailed, mental incompetent, yet fly a jet aircraft four months later? How could a doctor describe him as looking like a "prisoner of war," when at the same time investment bankers, politicians, and diplomats who met him said he was articulate and well-groomed? The answer is a perfect example of the brilliance of the elusive billionaire. He simply found a mentally incompetent man to impersonate him, drawing the attention of the Internal Revenue Service and an army of lawyers who pursued him, while he conducted his business in peace from Panama with his new wife, Eva McLelland. Sound fantastic? It is. However, after seven years of research and verification, Eva's story produces the final pieces in the mysterious puzzle that was Howard Hughes.
