Updated yet again, with more than 350 new entries since the first version - now 836 in all!This amusing encyclopedia of names lists those individuals who have changed their given names - not last names, or entire names, and especially not stage names and pseudonyms, but the more interesting and quirky changes of first names, nicknames and initials that become the person's best-known identity. From Buzz Aldrin to Steve Young, from Jacqueline Bisset to Frank Lloyd Wright, from no less than six US Presidents to a dozen hockey players born "Joseph," Name-Droppers tracks, lists and explains the journey from birth name to famous name for over 800 people. No other reference sifts out these strange and unusual given-name choices and changes from mundane stage and pen names!You'll never watch one of Tom Connery or Bill Pitt's movies the same way again, or listen to Troyal Brooks or Audrey Hill sing your favorite country song... much less forget that there's only one Roger in Pink Floyd, and it's not Mr. Waters. And who's hiding behind D.H., E.E., E.G. or even J.R.R.? Discover the power given-name changes have to shape our perception of performers, writers, politicians and sports figures... and scratch your head over some of the more unusual choices famous figures have made for their public names!

Libraries are public places—open to anyone and everyone. This book contains invaluable, practical tips for library staff who sometimes must deal with difficult or even dangerous individuals and situations. Every library experiences difficult patrons. Thorough preparation is the best defense: it's always much better to be proactive than reactive. The authors of Crash Course in Dealing with Difficult Library Customers realized that these kinds of situations are more universal than unique, despite the great variations in library environments and customer bases, and pooled their more than 100 years of experience to offer practical advice that will help library staff prepare for the many kinds of "worst case scenarios"—before they arise. The book identifies the basic types of problem-causing individuals, thoroughly overviews effective strategies for offsetting their actions, and explains how to successfully manage the stressful, emotionally charged situations that can arise. Drawing on their extensive real-world experience, the authors provide instructions for "last resort" options when dealing with illegal activities, acknowledge the rights of employees in difficult situations, and present strategies that will minimize staff members' stress levels when dealing with patrons. While this book will be extremely valuable to public library staff, it addresses common situations that can happen in public service at any type of library. Administrators who need to develop policies to protect their staff and their users will also find this unique work essential reading.

Sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll. In popular imagination, these words seem to capture the atmosphere of 1960s hippie communes. Yet when the first hippie commune was founded in 1965 outside Trinidad, Colorado, the goal wasn’t one long party but rather a new society that integrated life and art. In Droppers, Mark Matthews chronicles the rise and fall of this utopian community, exploring the goals behind its creation and the factors that eventually led to its dissolution. Seeking refuge from enforced social conformity, the turmoil of racial conflict, and the Vietnam War, artist Eugene Bernofsky and other founders of Drop City sought to create an environment that would promote both equality and personal autonomy. These high ideals became increasingly hard to sustain, however, in the face of external pressures and internal divisions. In a rollicking, fast-paced style, Matthews vividly describes the early enthusiasm of Drop City’s founders, as Bernofsky and his friends constructed a town in the desert literally using the “detritus of society.” Over time, Drop City suffered from media attention, the distraction of visitors, and the arrival of new residents who didn’t share the founders’ ideals. Matthews bases his account on numerous interviews with Bernofsky and other residents as well as written sources. Explaining Drop City in the context of the counterculture’s evolution and the American tradition of utopian communities, he paints an unforgettable picture of a largely misunderstood phenomenon in American history.
