Using his innate talent for combining disparate skills and personalities, he assembled a creative team that blended imagination with engineering. Walt called this group his "Imagineers."<BR><BR><I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Walt Disney's Legends of Imagineering and the Genesis of the Disney Theme Park</I> introduces a core group of the originators of Disneyland and the other Disney parks. It explores their individual relationships with Walt and each other, their creative breakthroughs and failures, and their rivalries and professional politics. This candid narrative of their lives and contributions to a very special form of entertainment illustrates why, half a century later, their work continues to be vital and important to millions of people every day, and all over the world.<BR><BR>Lavishly illustrated throughout with rare and never-before-seen artwork and photographs, <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Walt Disney's Legends of Imagineering and the Genesis of the Disney Theme Park</I> will further enrich the reader's appreciation of the exceptional talent behind Disneyland's creation and ongoing evolution.<BR> 370051 1 9 2007 Walt Disney's Legends of Imagineering and the Genesis of the Disney Theme Park total:4|5:2|4:1|3:1| 4 17 17 1 3 0 false false Sun Mar 08 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 30 16:26:15 -0800 2008 Tue Apr 28 07:02:36 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Nov 12 07:01:53 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 07:01:53 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Wed Sep 16 09:54:20 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 09:54:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 30 17:40:42 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 17:40:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 25 17:50:35 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 25 17:50:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 12 02:10:31 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 02:10:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 16 06:45:48 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 10:18:28 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 25 09:50:57 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 09:51:03 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Dec 25 10:00:11 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 26 22:08:50 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Aug 28 20:59:45 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 28 20:59:45 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Aug 27 22:14:33 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 22:14:33 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Aug 27 06:18:51 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 06:18:51 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Aug 25 07:00:44 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 25 07:00:51 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Aug 15 12:59:56 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 12:59:56 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Aug 06 17:50:15 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 06 17:50:15 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu Jan 31 11:18:21 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 31 11:18:21 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Mar 19 10:19:31 -0700 2007 Mon Mar 19 10:19:34 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=380249
