And the 32-page project book teaches artists of all ages and skill levels to draw the "ugliest" characters around, from Jeero and Wagehead to Ice-Bat and UglyDog.
Using trademark Uglydoll irreverence and humor, learning numbers is a hysterically Ugly proposition with Babo, Ox, Wedgehead, and the whole Uglydoll contingent!It's summer in the Uglyverse, and Wage and Babo’s air conditioner has broken down, so they head to Ox and Wedgehead’s Air Conditioner Emporium, where the only cooling mechanism they can afford is an oldfashioned ice-box.! They bring it home, and soon realize they are in for more of a stew than they bargained for when they find little Ice-Bat living inside! Since everything he touches turns to ice, Wage and Babo’s apartment cools off in no time. But when word gets out, greedy Ox and Wedgehead can’t believe they sold Ice-Bat for only five dollars. They decide they want him for the Air Conditioner Emporium.Some Uglyworms are sneaky. Some are crafty. All are hungry . . . for knowledge!
Like where do you keep the carrot cake? How long before ice cream goes bad? They want knowledge, because knowledge is power. They want power to do great and wonderful things. They also want your power.In the last fifty years, Korea has transformed itself from an agrarian, Confucian-based culture into a global and technological powerhouse, and one of the most important political and economic forces in the world. Based on previous research and face-to-face interviews, the book shows how contemporary Koreans! negotiate traditional Confucian values and Western capitalist! ic value s in their everyday encounters-- particularly in business and professional contexts. This is a useful companion book for courses in international business, intercultural communication, and Asian studies.

What it means to be a self - and a self communicating and being in a particular culture - are key issues interwoven throughout Min-Sun Kim’s impressive text, Non-Western Perspectives on Human Communication. Going beyond cultural descriptions or instructions on adapting to specific cultures, the author interrogates the very core assumptions underlying the study of human communication and challenges longstanding individualistic, Western models on which much intercultural research is based. Kim proposes a non-western way of conceptualizing identity, or the "self" - the cornerstone of cultural research -- illuminating how traditional western and non-western views can be blended into a broader, more realistic understanding of cultures and communication. Grounding her w! ork in a thorough knowledge of the literature, she challenges students and researchers alike to reexamine their approach to intercultural study.

Ice Bat lives in an ice cave inside an icebox. Anything he touches turns to ice . . . yet he warms your heart! With a high-quality plush and embroidered cover, this quirky journal is a must-have for all Uglydoll fans.
