Using trademark Uglydoll irreverence and humor, learning numbers is a hysterically Ugly proposition with Babo, Ox, Wedgehead, and the whole Uglydoll contingent!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 pre! vious research and face-to-face interviews, the book shows how contemporary Koreans negotiate traditional Confucian values and Western capitalistic values 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.Some Uglyworms are sneaky. Some are crafty. All are hungry . . . for knowledge!

Whether you’re born in the Uglyverse or plan on moving there, you’ll need the Ugly Guide to Being Alive and Staying That Way to help you navigate life’s many Ugly shoals. Visit the Ugly Grade School Lunch-a-Munch Hut, stroll the Ugly College! campus, and find out how to survive Ugly workâ€"and even get ! paid for it!â€"in the third Ugly Guide from Uglydoll creators David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim. Featuring their original Ugly art style and trademark sense of humor, this will be a must-have for Uglydoll fans of all ages.Everyone likes to be alive, right? Everyone likes to stay that way? Good! Having established that important fact, let's turn to David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim's Ugly Guide to Being Alive and Staying That Way. Don't be put off by the fact that this book and previous titles in the series are based on the Ugly Dolls--Horvath and Kim easily transfer the humor and good-hearted grotesquery of their doll creations into their books. And maybe I'm just an Ugly Doll acolyte, but even though the series is meant for younger readers, I really enjoyed this tongue-in-cheek advice for life, from birth to adulthood. After-college time is also known as "move-back-home" time. When it's time to buy a home, be aware that every house in the UglyVerse is haunted, "but not to worry. ! You'll probably get along fine with your special guest." In addition to the stages of life, topics like stress, fear, and "life's ugly mysteries" are also covered. The full-cover art is bright, cheery, and fun.

Horvath and Kim's story is just as cheery--they met in design school, fell in love, created the Ugly Dolls, and thus far have lived happily ever after.

The bottom line? The Ugly Guide to Being Alive is the kind of illustrative narrative you'll get a kick out of even as you're sharing it with your kids. --Jeff VanderMeer
