If you're even thinking about it, read this book!.......2004-06-01
Starting your own design firm is a scary proposition. Having a trusted advisor can help make the transition from employee to being your own boss a little less intimidating. Piven and Perkins do just that in this well written book, which covers the essentials--hey, that's what they called it--of starting a firm without getting bogged down in minutiae.
You'll get some solid advice on planning, financing, and how to handle some of the more delicate issues of starting your own firm--such as how to represent work you did for others when marketing your new business. The book also includes model business plans and a basic (very basic) overview of accounting principles that even an architect can understand. Worth reading if you're entertaining any notions about starting your own shop.
Book Description
Using the author's luminous work as an inspiring point of departure, participants in this master class learn to work with a broad range of watermedia, pushing beyond realism to build images that have urgency and power.
Readers are encouraged to take risks that will help them abandon usual methods and embrace fresh ways of painting with watercolor, gouache, casein, acrylic, and mixed media, using collage, brushless methods, and many other techniques.

Master Class in Watermedia: Techniques in Traditional and Experimental Painting.......2007-01-03
A good basic classic book. Every watercolorist must have in their library
Not your ordinary watermedia book.......2006-03-16
This book is not for beginners, but if you are searching for inspiration to move beyond more conventional approaches to painting in watercolor and acrylic, this might be a book worth owning. Edward Betts' observations are well-grounded in his academic experiences (at the U. of Illinois, where he went to grad school and later taught painting for many years, and at Yale, where he studied art history). As a result, he gently but insistently nudges his readers away from more traditional sorts of painting methods (although he still finds some value in doing that sort of painting from time to time, and he provides examples of such work). Betts advocates a much more experimental, abstract, painterly and, therefore, a more personal approach. Some readers may find that his painting style is not all that much to their liking, but if they keep an open mind, they still should find value in the ideas about painting that Betts articulates so well. These ideas have been around for quite a while now, but he does a fine job of explaining them to those readers who still think of painting in more traditional, illustrative terms. Betts challenges such painters to create art that is distinctive and inspired, rather than imitative and predictable.
A must have...........2002-08-12
What a wonderful book.
Better than a class.
Not a step by step kind of book, but one to give you good solid art
methods so you can explore in your own style.
It opened my mind.
I haven't been this excited about my work in ages.
Thank you Edward Betts for sharing your wisdom.

Master Class in watermedia.......2000-08-23
This book is an inspiration for any artists interested in mixed media and developing their skills towards non-representational painting. It is very well written and aimed at the more advanced painters in water media. Edward Betts uses his own paintings for illustrating and inspiration. This is one book that is a must for your studio bookshelf - borrowing it from the library for a quick read will not satisfy the need to return again and again to its inspirational pages.
Book Description
Julie Doucet and her boyfriend find a new apartment with cheap rent and a string of nutty neighbors. One ex-con “breaks out” of his apartment by smashing his own window. Another man attempts to kill himself by stuffing his head in a gas oven. But perhaps the oddest person of all is the landlady herself, Madame Paul, who one day mysteriously disappears...
Customer Reviews:
julie doucet is the shizznittlebomb.......2007-01-17
I began exploring comics and graphic novels a little over a year ago, during the course of which Doucet popped up and since has become one of my favorite artists. It's a real shame she's stopped drawing. I would describe her style as personal, absurdist, detached, and sometimes nicely grotesque. Madame Paul is a little stabler than some of her other work but still fabulous. She's great. If you like this but are itching for something a little stranger, I recommend checking out Leve Ta Jambe, Mon Poisson Est Mort!

Keane: The Autobiography

Customer Reviews:
Keano - one of the very best!.......2003-02-01
Roy Keane is undoubtably one of the greatest football players currently playing, and his life outside the game is equally enjoyable to follow. His intensity and larger-than-life persona on and off the pitch make any bio of Keano worth a read.
Pure Tightness.......2003-01-30
This is the best book I've ever read. It tells all about Captain Tightness. This is a more choice novel than Catcher in the rye. Roy Keane is a better role model than Holden Caulfield ever was. Captain Tightness will teach you and your kids how to cleat the opponent without getting caught (or carded ha ha ha).
Thug-life.......2002-11-20
It's disturbing that the activities of Keane are dressed up into something that in other circumstances would be described as thuggery. AVOID.
Customer Reviews:
Love it, Love it, Love it!.......2003-07-15
All the bags you will ever need. I love the double-sided bag with two pockets, and the gorgeous City Pack. Just wish I could find the hardware to make it with--anybody?
Beautiful, but disappointing.......2002-09-03
Though I've been sewing for more than thirty years, I had great trouble with the frustrating and confusing sewing directions in this book. It's a beautiful book, full of ideas, but anyone without considerable sewing experience would be stumped. The author places too much emphasis on designer ideas and too little on practical instructions. I wasn't looking for "wearable art," but for bags which were useful, durable, and good looking. Far better for those purposes is Nancy Restuccia's book "Hold It! How to Sew Bags, Totes, Duffels, Pouches & More." Ms. Restuccia gives careful, easy-to-follow directions, clear drawings supplemented by photos, and resources for finding materials and hardware to complete the projects in the book. Without Ms. Restuccia's book as a supplement, I couldn't have made any sense out of this book. It's a pretty book, but not for the real world.
Wonderful Ideas.......1999-07-21
I found this book to have several great ideas. I never thought I could make some of these things myself, for example a padded tote for a portable computer, a full set of soft luggage or a functional backpack. All of the designs also come with decoration suggestions. It even has instructions on how to achieve some types of decorative sewing and applique.
Book Description
It’s brimming with bags of every shape and size for sewers to make: a compact cycling pack, a market bag, an expandable shoulder bag, even a laptop computer case. Instructions and patterns accompany each design, along with tips on adding pockets and personalized variations.
Customer Reviews:
In praise of "Terrific Totes".......2006-05-08
I first got this book out of the library, and because I liked it so much I looked it up on Amazon. SFDesigner says in her review that it is not clear in its instructions, but I find it very clear and straightforward. Sewing is not an easy concept to put across in a book. I have read a great many sewing books and some are a lot better than others, but even the good ones have to be studied and thought about many times before the concept sinks in. I don't think that photos necessarily help. I have tried and tried to follow some photographic steps, and simply haven't grasped the point. I have made a tote bag and two of the Artists' Paraphernalia Pockets from this book, and everything has come together excellently. I am going to make the Hemp and Tapestry Rucksacks next. I am really happy with this book.
Good Concept But Not Enough Information.......2004-04-30
I am an intermediate-level sewer. I sew craft items and clothing. What I liked about this book: lots of different kinds of bags, portfolios and wallets. Just what I was looking for in variety. What I didn't like: There were virtually no step-by-step illustrations/photos of the bags in process (there might have been a couple of visual details, but in general no). Most projects take up a couple of pages, but what that includes is a photo of the completed project and then some paragraphs describing how to make it. I read through many of the projects, and I just found this confusing. It made me not want to try any of the projects. Three paragraphs describing how to make a rather complicated project is just not enough for me... because there are various pieces of fabric that need to be attached to each other in different ways, and it's not like they're just saying, "sew the back to the front." It would have been SO MUCH BETTER if each project would have had a handful of detailed step-by-step illustrations/photos, showing exactly what they meant about how the pieces related together and helped with the details of the actual assembly process. I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to this book -- but in actuality, this ended up being the first book I've ever bought at Amazon that I sent back for a refund.
Nice looking stuff.......2003-03-06
The rucksack on the front of this book doesn't seem to be as hard as it looks. I like the tapestry rucksack a little better. While I like the book and have no plans to return it, the "business on the run" was a bit disappointing. I was hoping for something closer to a big briefcase or other suitable bag that didn't look like a tote bag. The "Two Totes in One" I made recently is great, and I hope to make more. I suggest a heavy fabric if you are going to be carrying heavy books like I do. The "Double Duty" bag is also one I like, and will try that when I find the right fabric. The City Pack is another for "one day," I really like it. I plan to make several other of the projects eventually, but for right now I'm going to attempt the ones that look the easiest. I think this is for someone who has been sewing a while, not a beginner.

Book Description
In this eloquent work, Nitobé eloquently explains the persistence of feudal Japan's morals, ethics, and etiquette into modern times. He takes a far-reaching approach, drawing examples from indigenous traditions — Buddhism, Shintoism, Confucianism, and the philosophies of samurai and sages — as well as from ancient and modern Western thinkers.
Book Description
1909. Bushido, literally translated Way of the Warrior, originated in Japan between the 9th and 12th centuries. It was a code and way of life for Samurai, a class of warriors similar to the medieval knights of Europe. It was influenced by Zen and Confucianism, two different schools of thought of those periods. Bushido is not unlike the chivalry and codes of the European knights. Contents: Bushido as an Ethical System; Sources of Bushido; Rectitude or Justice; courage, the Spirit of Daring and Bearing; Benevolence, the Feeling of Distress; Politeness; Veracity or Truthfulness; Honor; The Duty of Loyalty; Education and Training of a Samurai; Self-Control; The Institutions of Suicide and Redress; The Sword, the Soul of the Samurai; The Training and Position of Woman; The Influence of Bushido; Is Bushido Still Alive?; The Future of Bushido.

A Bible of Aristotelian-Like Virtues.......2006-09-15
This book is highly relevant to Japanese society today, and I'm glad that at least some reviewers have noted that fact. Nitobe writes in a style one would expect from a man educated in the manner of Edwardian England, but that does nothing to detract from what he says. It may give the impression that his message is dated, but the opposite is true: he writes clearly and directly and his laconic gems of expression lead straight to a solid undertanding of the modern Japanese heart. He manages to pull off this feat by using apt comparisons to our Western pre-Christian heritage, primarily comparisons to pagan Rome and Greece, writers like Tacitus, Polybius, and Aristotle. Nitobe also often quotes Shakespeare and the likes of Carlyle, Nietzsche, and Emerson, but almost always as an extension of his use of classical literature. If a Western reader wants to know what Western culture would have looked like without the Judeo-Christian ethic, this book is likely a window directly into that alternate universe. Under the best outcomes, Bushido appears as something like a combination of the spirits of Athens and Sparta in harmony.
As a retired US Army officer living in Japan (off and on for the last 34 years), married into a Japanese family, witness to the raising of my daughters in the Japanese way (as Nitobe says, "to be able to hold their own against unexpected odds"), there is no doubt in my mind that Bushido is alive and thriving in modern Japan. When I was a teacher at the US Military Academy, we used this book in some elective philosophy classes to convey to students how Confucianism has become, over the centuries, the dominant influence in the Japanese way of life. Bushido adds to Confucianism healthy measures of resourcefulness, self-reliance, and emotional stamina within the central concept of filial piety. Emphasis on these virtues adds up to a character that values patience and self-control as its principal strengths in a personality whose purpose-driven-life is one of respect. It is hard, even for the most jaded cynic, to not have soaring admiration for the average Japanese person, at least those who have been steeped in this mighty tradition.
Many find it hard to imagine that such a culture could have spawned the war crimes and abuses witnessed in China and Korea during WWII. What most do not know is that the Japanese soldiers were the most chivalrous people on Earth in the early 20th century (during the Russo-Japanese War four years after this book was written). People who feel exploited and betrayed react with virulence and frequently end in moral failure; witness our own history of war crimes which even today we are loathe to own up to. There is no paradox. What Bushido does is foster an excellent environment for the possibility of a strong and honest character--that is what is most compelling about it.
I recommend reading this book with a copy of Aristotle's Rhetoric near to hand. Between the two the reader will never want for moral guidance and will be able to dispense with any library of self-help books or religion.
Not only historic Japan, but also Japan at present.......2006-04-07
I am a Japanese graduate student, aged 24, who studies molecular biology. I would like to add to the excellent reviews so far that this book is full of insights to understand not only historic Japan but also Japan and Japanese people at present.
The first reason is that most Japanese know Nitobe's name, face and act of writing this book. It is because his portrait was featured on the 5000 Yen banknote printed from 1984 to 2004.
The second reason is that many leaders at present, including, as far as I know, Masahiko Fujiwara, a mathematician, who wrote a recent Japanese best-seller titled Kokka no Hinkaku (Style of a nation) and some professors in my department's faculty, admire this book.
The third reason is that, though modernization and westernization wiped out the great fraction of Bushido customs, its spirits prevail in the minds of Japanese people. You may ask 'How is it possible without Bushido customs?', as M. de Laveleye, a Belgian jurist, asked Nitobe in the preface of the book, 'How do you impart moral education without religion?'. The answer, Masahiko Fujiwara points out, lies in people's reading classics, such as Genji Monogatari, Heike Monogatari, poems by Matsuo Basho and so on. In fact, as I see it, Bushido characteristics mentioned in this book, rectitude, courage, benevolence, politeness, sincerity, honor, the duty of loyalty, and self-control, still remain in Japan.
I agree with Dr. Fujiwara in general, but, I regard Manga (comic books) and Anime, now summed up as Otaku or Akihabara culture, as the main source of the Japanese moral for the younger generations. People of my age did not read much of original classics, when they are children. Instead, we have been surrounded by and soaked with many classics reproduced as Manga or/and anime (eg Nihon Mukashi Banashi (Japanese folklore), Asaki Yumemishi (Genji Monogatari), Vagabond (the story of Miyamoto Musashi, a famous Samurai), and so on). Some people despise Manga as picture books, but it is not. It is a powerful media of information that is easy to read and, therefore, rapidly, widely, and voluntarily read. So, Bushido spirits prevail in the minds of Japanese people much more deeply than you imagine.
For the reasons above, I assure you that reading this book will greatly enhance your understanding of both historic and present Japan and Japanese people.
elegant, concise and informative.......2006-02-13
Not only does this book provide the philosphy behind Japanese culture, this philosphy still offers a reasonable ethic to live by. Certainly I do not recommend seppuku (ritual suicide) as component of a healthy value system. But rectitude(justice), courage, benevolence, politeness, veracity, honor, loyalty, education, and self-control are healthy values which Bushido is based on.
This book is not for everyone, Nitobe assumes the reader is well versed in the classics of western literature, philospophy and relgion. This facility would be common to college graduates of the 19th century, these days we do not receive such a broad liberal arts education. I found I had to do some self education to understand his finer points...yet I am the better for it.
Not only did I learn more about Japan and Japan's place in world history, through Nitobe's analysis I became more aware of my own culture and it's standing relative to the rest of the world.
Understanding Bushido is like cooking..........2005-06-14
No, really. Bushido is not a science and it's not easy to understand. It is made up of many parts, each designed to carefully balance each other. Justice, Courage and Loyalty are just some of the ingredients needed to be added in just the right amounts. Too much can be as bad as too little. A man worried just about Justice might forget about Benevolence and a man worried about Honor might forget about Politeness.
Bushido is not like a coat, that you can put on and take off, but a way of life. A Master Chef does not just practice his art on the weekend - and neither does a Samurai.
Good material, but a peculiar rendering.......2004-09-26
The Bushido - the Warrior's Way - is one of the wonderful, unique features of Japanese culture, still important in the modern world. It has inspired many books, spanning several centuries. This book, written around 1905, is distinctive for being addressed to a Western audience.
It was written by a Japanese scholar in Europe, educated (possibly over-educated) in Western ways. As a reader of my own era, I would say that bushido can only be understood in the terms that it sets out. The reader must knock down the Western tradition, from medieval mythos forward, and accept wholly Asian premises for the bushido to make sense. This author, instead, tries to describe the bushido in Western terms. The result is paltry and grotesque.
Nitobe is a product of the bushido, and I am not. He is also a product of the late 19th century, writing in the first few years of the 20th, and writing with English learned at the end of the Victorian era. He explains the bushido in terms of the Old Testament, Shakespeare, Aristotle, and Cervantes. He speaks eloquently to his audience, men who are rigidly Christian and just plain rigid.
I find an unhappy desperation in this book, where the author tries to justify a profoundly Japanese culture in un-Japanese terms. This was the era just after Legge, Hearn, Burton, and FitzGerald. There was an influx of Eastern culture, but it was filtered so that proper English could disuss in their own terms. I am afraid that the filter stopped out all that was truly Japanese.
The serious sudent should read this book, but not to understand Japanese culture. Instead, the reader should try to understand the Western culture that this book addresses. Even now, we are afflicted by Victorian translations of Eastern classics. This book, working from East to West instead, shows just how dire that affliction had become.

Book Description
Nationalism is a mighty force in the 21st century. It has not been so politically significant since prior to World War I. While current trends tilt toward regional economic groupings, national identity--and demands for greater political and economic autonomy--has created a national, regional, and international groundswell since the end of the Cold War. An expanded sequel to Minahan's award-winning guide to some 200 groups, Nations Without States: A Historical Dictionary of Contemporary National Movements (1996), this book provides an easy-to-use, accurate, and up-to-date guide to over 300 developed or emerging national groups worldwide. Providing fuller historical profiles of each group, this is the definitive reference on the nationalism and national groups that helped shape 20th century politics--and will likely shape the politics of tomorrow. Included are numerous new national groups that have emerged since the publication of Minahan's 1996 book. Many of these remain unknown outside of their own regions. Others make headlines. The evolution of each group is traced from its earliest history to the present day, making the book an indispensable reference for those wishing to understand the world's growing multitude of national groups.
Customer Reviews:
Totally misleading.......2007-04-20
The same text describes 3 of Minahan's books I own, as the text describing these nations given as examples is a copy-paste with very minor differences in all the books: Nations without States: A Historical Dictionary of Contemporary National Movements, One Europe, Many Nations: A Historical Dictionary of European National Groups and Encyclopedia of the Stateless Nations: Ethnic and National Groups Around the World. Guess I have not made much bigger stupidities in my life than to ordering all of these books at the same time.
Unfortunately, this book is a disaster. It is full of mistakes, especially about the given number of peoples, but it has historical or linguistic mistakes as well. For example, I'll give just a few data about Livonians:
Population: Minahan (M.) gives 100 000 (!), while the actual number is only a few hundreds at present. Though, historically Livonians once inhabited most part of today's Latvian coastline, the assimilation took part mostly centuries ago, so that people do not identify themselves as Livonians.
Historical Livonian province was only in its southwestern part ethnically Livonian, and the data M. gives about the Livonians in Estonia, is totaaly mistaken. The so-called Livonian cultural center of Massiaru town in Estonia has nothing to do with Livonians, and, after all, is only a smaal village.
While Livonians are a really tiny nation, the number is incorrect about some not so small nations as well, including in cases when the census data is available even by Internet. Some examples:
Ingrians: by M. 90 000 in Russia, 20 000 in Estonia and 250 000 in Finland. Actually, the total number was 67 813 at 1989 in Soviet Union, and all the Ingrians in Finland migrated there after the S.U. collapsed.
Karels: by M. 26% of the people of Karelian Republic in Russia, actually about 10%.
Mordvins: 1,848 millions by M., actually less than 1,1 millions.
And, one example from central Europe - Sorbs: by M. 543 000, including 40 000 in Poland; actually, about 60 000, as well as all in Germany.
So, after the data what can easily be controlled, how can you trust the data what is harder to check?
As a conclusion - I cannot find any more misleading so-called scientific book.
