Book Description
Wallace Neff was the preeminent architect of Spanish colonial-revival houses in Southern California, but surprisingly little has been written about him, despite the publicity he received for designing great estates for Hollywood legends such as Mary Pickford. "I just build California houses for California people," this exceedingly private architect told friends and clients. In fact, Neff was an ambitious and inventive designer who was not only adept at manipulating traditional styles to please famous, wealthy clients like Cary Grant, Claudette Colbert, and Darryl Zanuck; he was also a pioneer in low-cost housing and pneumatic building. The Bubble House, as his best-known Airform structure was fondly nicknamed, had a social vision as compelling as that of any modernist housing project.
Wallace Neff and the Grand Houses of the Golden State tells the life story of this significant architect, who was raised as Southern California aristocracy, as an heir to one of the founders of Rand, McNally & Company, and grew up to influence the course of architectural history in California. Illustrated throughout with lush black-and-white archival photographs that document Neff's family life and professional accomplishments, journalist Diane Kanner's compelling narrative offers a behind-the-scenes look at the development of residential architecture in Southern California. The first comprehensive analysis of the life and work of this undiscovered master, it is sure to become a classic among architecture and interior design enthusiasts.

Great Book.......2007-05-05
I really liked this book. I thought it was excellent. I enjoyed reading about the man Wallace Neff and reading about his architectural career and seeing photos of his works. Yes, there could have been more photos-but what was there was nice. And I must commend the publisher as these days I find so many typographical errors when reading books--and I did not find ONE typo!!! A very well done book.
Where are the pictures?!.......2007-01-06
The book is well researched and his life presented well but the monograph is so skimpy on photos that you're left feeling like you just ate your appetizer and now you are being denied your filet mignon. His work is so stunningly detailed in person that only giving the reader a few black and white photos devoid of detail is jsut mean spirited. Very disappointing.
California Dreamin.......2006-01-17
Wallace Neff is one of the quentisential California residential architects, he was a master of the Spanish Colonial, which is pure California. Neff is to Spanish Colonial what Paul Williams was to California Regency. This book is just perfect, the images are first rate and the text is highly informative and though scholarly it's also accessable. If you have any interest in this subject or just appreciate wonderful books then I believe you will be pleased, if you like me love architecture and appreciate great architects then you will be thrilled. This is the definitive book on Wallace Neff, thank you Ms. Kanner, job well done.
Text and Images Meld in a Beautiful Tribute to Wallace Neff.......2005-12-27
Living in the city where most of architect Wallace Neff's 'California homes for California people' exist, it is a pleasure to see a monograph on this gifted artist in print. Neff's homes remain grand and quintessentially California, referencing Spanish Revival in the most elegant sense. Driving the streets of Pasadena, San Marino, and Altadena, Neff's estates are an indelible mark on the landscape - tall, statuesque homes with carved columns and grand entry ways quietly guarded by his signature heavy wood and iron decorated doors. His homes, created in the 1930s for movie stars, moguls, and the wealthy, are mementoes of another era and their eloquence is untainted by the passage of time.
Yet equally as interesting as the numerous homes illustrated in this excellent book is the warm, scholarly, immensely readable text by Diane Kanner. Not only does she inform us about Neff's biography in novelistic fashion, but she also places Wallace Neff in the historical setting of California of his heyday. The writing is rich in the colorful history of the new frontier, the Eden where dreams like movies were made.
This is a fine book in every way, and the layout and design make for a coffee table book of California history that comfortably moves to the lap as a fascinating non-fiction novel! Highly recommended. Grady Harp, December 05
Book Description
When the Jesuit missionaries ventured from Europe to newly discovered territories in Asia and Latin America, they brought with them the rich traditions of Renaissance and Baroque art and architecture. What happened to the artistic and social practices already thriving in the communities that the missionaries encountered is the story told by art historian and Jesuit specialist Gauvin Alexander Bailey.
The Jesuits, determined to convert both spiritually and culturally, put great effort into imparting their own artistic techniques and knowledge. At the same time they were unusually tolerant of the non-European cultures, making artistic accommodations in order to communicate with each particular society. The resulting hybridization was complex: German, Italian, and Flemish as well as the dominant Spanish and Portuguese idioms mingled with multiple Asian and Amerindian traditions.
Bailey argues that this cross-pollination of early modern art became the first truly global visual currency for cultural exchange. Through a sweeping look at Japan, China, Mughul India, and Paraguay, the author focuses on four of the most flourishing artistic encounters and discovers much unrecognized or misunderstood art. He overturns the simple thesis that art was imposed on subject cultures in favour of the more difficult paradigm of exchange. This meticulously researched book has over 100 beautiful illustrations and a thorough index.

Book Description
Eugène Atget, Jacques Henri Lartigue, André Kertész, Brassaï, Henri Cartier- Bresson, Robert Doisneau—some of the greatest photographers of Paris—were relatively unknown when they began their most innovative work. Not yet burdened with conventional career expectations, they found the city the perfect environment in which to invent and develop an entirely new approach to conceiving the photographic image. In the 1920s and 1930s, the generation of photographers after Atget responded not only to the physical city itself but also to a new sensibility of time as a spontaneous act.
Masterworks by these now-famous visionaries of the medium are featured in this elegant book of photographs of Paris from the 1850s to the 1950s, drawn from the remarkable collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. David Travis introduces the book with an insightful essay on how these photographers inherited the culture of walking in and observing Paris from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Charles Baudelaire, and the boulevard flâneurs of the late nineteenth century. Their acceptance and celebration of the fluidity of the city’s street life became the chief virtue of their profession as photojournalists for the new illustrated magazines that would eventually make them famous.
Paris: Photographs of a Time That Was is a marvelous tribute to the “City of Light” and the photography that it inspired.

Book Description
M.W., psychic and the creator of The Five Second Life quiz, is back to share her secrets for identifying and achieving one’s heart's desires. In doing so, M.W. explains how to become a soulmate to oneself. According to the author, this process requires a rejection of the idea that only another person can bring happiness. Filled with specific details on identifying each person’s heart's desires, then creating a plan to achieve them, There Are No Soulmates! is an ideal tool for making dreams a reality. In this book, M.W. also explores people’s relationships with God and discusses the concept of a soulgroup. In addition, she introduces an alternate concept to soulmates: soul playmates. In doing so, she provides a positive alternative to realizing the love that already surrounds everyone, but which has been obstructed from view by unrealistic ideals derived from Hollywood fairy-tale movie endings.

More than a book about soulmates.......2005-10-06
This is a great book that reveals not only that you need to live your life, but also gives ways to start you on your way. It first deals with the idea that there is no one who will be your "twin flame" or who will complete you. After that, the author gives you a method to find out what you want out of life and then how to attain it. The things you want are not just going to come your way; planning and execution are necessary steps. By the book, I have written down the steps I need to take to meet some of my goals and have started on my path. And I just got the book yesterday! This book is an excellent motivator!
Mary Robin.......2005-06-30
I thought this was a clever, and original book. I would recommend it to anyone who is tired of the same old books on the spiritual/metaphysical shelf. M.W is a breath of fresh air.
WHERE HAS THIS BOOK BEEN ALL MY DATING LIFE???.......2005-05-11
WOW! This book is such an easy reader and very hard to put down. It isn't the biggest book on earth, but it is packed with good insight. The author uses straight forward language to express the point "there are no soulmates" and more specifically "be your own soulmate". The message is to not wait around to live and enjoy life based on the hope of this other wonderful person coming along to complete you. Complete yourself! If you have been through dating H*ll like so many of us 30+ folks out here, this is just the *pick me up* to get you moving toward living your heart's desires and having your dreams come true - with or without someone to share and enhance your life.
My best friend- a psychology major - always says "be happy with yourself and by yourself and that way if someone wonderful does come along it is great and if the right person doesn't come along that is ok too, because you are happy with yourself and by yourself." AMEN TO THAT!
Book Description
Israel’s victory in the 1967 ‘Six Day War’ sowed the seeds of the 1973 Yom Kippur War. At 1400hrs on 6 October 1973 the Egyptian army launched an assault crossing of the Suez Canal. The carefully co-ordinated attack achieved complete tactical surprise. The sand embankments of the Israeli Bar-Lev Line were breached and an Israeli counterattack thrown back with heavy losses. In the second of his two-volume analysis of the Yom Kippur War, Simon Dunstan details the fighting in the Sinai, culminating in Operation Gazelle, the Israeli counterattack across the Suez Canal. Although defeated militarily Egypt did ultimately succeed in forcing the Israelis back to the negotiating table.

Saeed was 'shelved'.......2006-10-08
We have to admit that the Egyptian Propaganda machine was indeed very fierce and offensive before and during the 1967 Six Days War.
Before the war, it was specialized in distributing subtle propaganda attacks against the Jordanian and Saudi Arabia monarchies. The Voice of the Arabs (VOA) beamed twelve hours a day directly to Jordan and Saudi Arabia and the more headway it made the bigger the cash they received from the Egyptian purses.
VOA employed the `best' writers and easy-to-learn articles broadcast live on the high frequencies Egyptian Radio station.
Ahmad Saeed - a literary agent -in happier times the mastermind behind the VOA, for some reason every thing he said and propagated imprinted itself on the Egyptian (and the Arab) people.
Even those who took a dislike of Ahmad Saeed were labelled reactionaries, a prelude to being accused of treason.
During the 1967 war, Saeed's influence had been sinister except on both Nasser and Mohamed Hassanein Heikal (a prominent Egyptian Journalist) in particular.
It is to be noted that VOA was indeed the nerve centre of Egypt at the time, trying with noticeable success to send the impulses of the battle to the rest of the Arab World.
But the manner in which the Egyptians fought the 1967 war was the inauspicious beginning for Saeed's `lies'.
The worse the ongoing of the battle had deteriorated the more Saeed's propaganda machine became flagrant and very few could then realize the increasing degeneration of the performance of the Egyptian command (Under Abdul Hakeem Amer).
Nasser was under no illusion that the tattered Egyptian Command (Amer) could hold for long and he felt that Saeed could not hold back `his tongue' in the middle of the `battle'.
And when Nasser finally decided to do something with Saeed, alas, it was too late, the die was cast and defeat was inevitable.
During the Yom Kippor War in 1973, Saeed had already been 'shelved'.
Very Good, but Biased.......2003-06-07
Osprey's The Yom Kippur War: The Sinai is the first in a two-volume study of the 1973 Arab-Israeli War and a departure from the Campaign series normal aversion to modern topics (in the last 13 years and 126 volumes, the series has had only one other title on a post-1945 campaign). Armor aficionado and film maker Simon Dunstan provides a detailed summary of the dramatic events between 6-24 October 1973 on the Sinai front, where the war swung between initial Egyptian success, to stalemate, to Israeli triumph. Overall, most readers should find this volume excellent, if slightly biased toward Israel and armor issues (at the expense of air operations).
The Yom Kippur War: The Sinai begins with a short introduction that covers the results of the 1967 Six Day War, the construction of the Bar Lev line and the 1969-1970 War of Attrition. In the next section, the author covers the meticulous Egyptian planning for Operation "Badr" - the assault crossing of the Suez Canal - and the Israeli defensive plans. The only really weak section in the entire volume is that covering opposing armies, which is only four pages in length. Although there is considerable detailed data available on the Yom Kippur War, the author fails to incorporate it into this section. For example, the author only mentions that the Egyptians had about 1,700 tanks, without breaking out how many there were of each model (an odd omission for an armor expert). Both the Egyptian and Israeli air forces are fairly ignored, with no order of battle provided, or breakdown by type. The section on opposing commanders is overly weighted toward Israel, and there are too few photos of the principal military leaders (amazingly, none of Sharon). The Yom Kippur War: The Sinai also has too few maps to support the narrative; there are only five 2-D maps (Israel in 1973, the Bar-Lev Line, the Egyptian bridgeheads, Battle of Chinese Farm phase 1 and phase 2) and three 3-D Birds Eye View maps (the Egyptian assault, the Egyptian offensive on 14 October 1973, and the Israeli crossing of the canal). The 3-D maps were designed to cover tactical battlefields, not entire operational areas, and these BEVs are zoomed too far out to convey much detail. The initial Israeli counterattacks on 6-8 October and the crossing of the canal are particularly difficult to follow on these maps (critical items mentioned in the text, like the "Missouri" position are not depicted on any of the maps). On the other hand, the three battle scenes (the Egyptian crossing of the canal, the Israeli roller bridge and Israeli tanks SAM-hunting) are quite good and add value to this volume.
Dunstan's description of the Egyptian preparations for the canal crossing and the very successful deception operations are first-rate, and should be studied carefully by military readers. Indeed, Operation "Badr" was almost a model of how opposed river crossings should be conducted. While the author mentions the defeat of the initial Israeli armor counterattacks against the crossing, he fails to discuss the simultaneous shock when the initial Israeli air counterattacks ran into the SA-6 belt along the canal. Indeed, for an armor enthusiast, the author might have mentioned that these engagements between Egyptian commandos and Israeli armor on 6-7 October 1973 were one of the rare instances when light infantry defeated armor. The rest of the campaign narrative covers the political pressure that resulted in the abortive Egyptian offensive of 14 October and the Israeli counterstroke that decided the campaign. The emphasis in this account is primarily on armor operations, with little mention of the contributions of other branches and even air operations are overly neglected. The author's background as a filmmaker also betrays itself in one indiscretion where he notes in a photograph caption that an Israeli "squadron of Phantom [jets] was loaded with 13 20-kiloton nuclear weapons" when Israeli leaders feared defeat. Where is the source on this wild claim? While Israel's possession of nuclear weapons has been an open secret for some time, this claim seems unusually detailed and suspect. After the first few days of war, Israel had fewer than 90 F-4 Phantoms still operational and the author wants the reader to believe that the IAF would tie up 15% of its best strike asset to sit around on "nuclear strip alert." Such a preposterous claim certainly warrants a footnote or explanation.
The final sections on the outcome of the war and the battlefield today are brief but interesting. Indeed, Sadat's limited objective campaign is also a model for demonstrating Clausewitz's dictum of "war as an extension of politics." Unfortunately, the author's bibliography is not very impressive, consisting mostly of stock secondary sources, like Trevor Dupuy. There are also more Egyptian sources available in English than the author suggests, but the author seems but little interested in their viewpoint (even Sadat's book has considerable detail on planning for the attack). The photographs throughout the volume are good, but heavily weighted toward armor issues and Israel, with most of the Egyptian-source photos being those normally available in most other sources on the war.
Good general summary.......2003-06-03
Given the space constraints, this is a concise and well-balanced summary of the war, and synthesizes the usual sources quite well. The "Battlefield Today" section is especially nice. The big disappointment is the illustrations, which concentrate on Israeli forces. The few Egyptian photos are well-known and have been widely reprinted in the west, and are poorly reproduced here. The 3 two-page spread paintings are remarkable for their lack of detail. Given Osprey's extensive back catalog of Middle East titles, it's amazing they didn't reproduce any of the much better photos and paintings that graced earlier books. If you're looking to own a single book on the Sinai Front in the 1973 War, this could be it. If you already own standard works like Dupuy, Herzog, Shazly and Pollack, give this one a miss unless you're a completist.
Book Description
The October War, or 'Yom Kippur' War, of 1973 was precipitated by the Arab states of the middle East, primarily Egypt and Syria in an attempt to force Israel to the negotiating table. Protected by the territories she had conquered in the 1967 'Six Day War', Israel had little incentive to negotiate. The carefully co-ordinated attacks launched by Egypt and Syria in the Sinai and on the Golan Heights respectively achieved complete tactical surprise. On 6 October 1973, following massive air strikes and artillery bombardments, the Egyptians launched an assault crossing of the Suez Canal and breached the sand embankments of the Bar Lev line using demolitions and water cannon. An Israeli counterattack was repulsed with heavy losses, and the Israelis dug in. The renewed Egyptian offensive on 14 October was thrown back however and in a lightning counterattack Ariel Sharon's armoured division seized a bridgehead across the Suez Canal. The Egyptians cut Sharon's troops off and in desperate fighting around the 'Chinese Farm' General Abraham Adan's Israeli division broke through to Sharon's bridgeheads. On 20 October the Israeli's broke out from their bridgeheads towards Ismailia and the Suez-Cairo road. Despite an initial failed UN attempt at a ceasefire on 22 October, a ceasefire finally did take effect on 24 October 1973. In the second of his two-volume analysis of the Yom Kippur war, Simon Dunstan details the fighting in the Sinai.

Writers Notes 2004 Book Award Winner.......2005-04-28
This stunning little book of pictures and narration spans the often-ugly history of war reporting, providing an insider's view of the conflict and crimes without editorializing. What drives journalists to willingly enter danger? This book should be required reading for aspir-ing reporters and the men who manipulate newspaper headlines.
Book Description
The most interesting entry point to the demarcation problem in science since Poppers seminal formulation.Steve Fuller, Professor of Sociology & Social Policy, Durham University What is science? What isnt science? And who draws the line between them? These are rhetorical concerns, as Charles A. Taylor demonstrates in this ambitious book about the theoretical and cultural underpinnings of scientific practice. By showing how boundaries between science and nonscience are rhetorically constructed and socially enforced, Defining Science reveals the political and philosophical significance of such distinctions. Taylor examines the traditional demarcation problem, the problem of defining the boundaries of science, as an ongoing rhetorical negotiation involving a full range of historical interests and social actorsfrom researchers and lab technicians to governmental and industrial patrons, program administrators, political representatives, journalists, and educators. His case studies of the recent debates over creationism and cold fusion clearly demonstrate how the rhetorical dynamics of science operate within different fields. In both cases, presented here with concision and insight, prevailing demarcationsor defining portrayals of scienceemerge as far more nuanced than traditional accounts allow. Taylor analyzes traditional approaches to demarcation in science in order to incorporate their insights into his larger rhetorical view. His reformulation of philosophical, historical, and sociological accounts of science clearly illustrates the intellectual value of an interdisciplinary rhetoric of demarcation. Furthermore, Defining Science suggests how we, as a community, can positively influence future constructions of science and society. This book confronts what is arguably the late twentieth centurys definitive problem in a provocative and interesting way. It will be of interest to anyone engaged with the question of knowledge in public life.Charles Arthur Willard, Professor and Chair of the Department of Communication, University of Louisville
