Nice coffee table book about a single house.......2005-07-20

Ken Tate's firm designs new houses along classical lines - this one is a French inspired estate built in a small Mississippi town. The photos are nice and include images of the house inside and out as well as the grounds. Numerous photos show small details of the design and workmanship. Simple floor plans as well as elevations of the house and details are included. Credits are provided for craftsmen and companies that did much of the work. I'ts nice to see that someone still cares about the details and craftsmen are still arround to build something like this even in an out of the way location.

Thin Book, Tremendous Ideas.......2006-11-19

This little book is packed with important concepts for artists. The wisdom presented is essential for visual composition, regardless of the specific medium.

The author's treatment of value is especially valuable (pun intended). Color is important, but value is even more important. He explains why and shows how.

review from a learning "artist".......2005-04-09

My instructor has many books but suggested this one over all for new students. I found it very helpful and suggest it as a good start for learners. I like the colors used and had good results with the various exercises.

One of the Best!.......2005-01-29

Besides being an excellent overview of watercolor techniques helpful to the experienced as well as the novice, this book provides valuable guidance for enhacing the "seeing" skills we need for being better artists, no matter what medium is used. Purcell's book is among my favorites and I refer to it frequently.

WASTE OF MONEY - get Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.......2004-10-22

This is a poor knock-off of the classic book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards. Save your money and go back to the original! And if you are a painter, try the new book she has written, called, simply, COLOR. It's fabulous

A book on how to see........2004-06-10

This book is very effective in teaching the artist or beginner to see in the language of art, which is shape, color and edge. The medium used in the book is watercolor. The approach to technique is simplified to the essentials to get going in water color, but any medium would apply. I enjoyed the simple approach. The author was a teacher and I'm sure a good one at that. The book wasn't bogged down with unnecessary "how to" stuff. Each chapter covers another aespect of seeing with very understandable text and examples. I found this book to be a good example of how to transulate all that stuff out there into the language of art. If that is what you want to do I recommend it. If on the other hand you wish to spend you time at the art supply store trying all the hundreds of supplies and techniques and not seeing and painting than this book is not for you.
For me the only week part of the book was the last two chapters, but then I've been painting for 25 years.

HILARIOUS SLICES OF LIFE!.......2004-05-18

In CARTOONIST, Kyle Baker gives his hilarious take on everything from politics, to religion, to love and family life! Like a Robert Benchley essay or Andy Rooney tirade, these cartoons make you think about things you see every day in a fresh and funny way. My favorite part of CARTOONIST is the section on "THE BAKERS," Kyle's cartoons based on his own family life. His cartoons poking fun at his life with a wife and little kids are like a modern-day "FAMILY CIRCUS!" Anyone who has been driven crazy by their family but still loves them to death will get a huge kick out of "THE BAKERS." I hope there will be lots more "BAKERS" cartoons to come!

Book Description

Full Circle is the story of a life transformed by long exposure to the people and culture of China and East Asia. In 1967, at the age of twenty-one, Ruth Hayhoe left Toronto and moved to Hong Kong, where she started her career as a teacher in an Anglo-Chinese secondary school for girls. Intending to stay six months, Hayhoe spent eleven years there, teaching, studying, assisting a number of veteran China missionaries, and ultimately falling in love with Chinese people and Chinese culture. The stories of numerous individuals in Hong Kong, China and Japan are interwoven into this narrative account, as Hayhoe shares what it was like to live through a series of major transitions--from the Cultural Revolution of 1967 to HongKong's return to China in 1997. In 1980, Hayhoe went to teach in Shanghai's Fudan University for two years, then completed a Ph.D. at the University of London before returning to Canada in 1984. Five years later, following the Tiananmen tragedy of 1989, she was drawn back to China as Cultural Attache in the Canadian Embassy. Subsequently, she continued to visit China for research and development work, and in 1997--the year Hong Kong was re-unified with China--she was invited to become Director of the Hong Kong Institute of Education, a newly established tertiary institute. With this appointment, Hayhoe's life came full circle, as she settled into the city where she had begun her teaching career thirty years earlier. Her return to Hong Kong brought back a storm of memories, prompting her to write this book in celebration of many wonderful mentors, and of the rich rewards of risk-taking and openness to the other.

A fine introduction to the battle of Dien Bien Phu.......2007-07-16

This is probabaly the best book you can find of the battle of Dien Bien Phu if you want to have a complete picture of that important struggle of 1953-54, without spending many days studying the massive and more authoritative volumes of Fall and Windrow. The author has personal knowledge of the Indochina and knew most of the protagonists by first hand. He also had the chance to interview General Giap in 1991 and also to study the archives of the French Army and the French Foreign Legion. The story flows like a novel, the details are excellent and not at all boring and the suspence excellent although you know the end. The only drawback is the absence of detailed maps with olny two of them to show the whole of Indochina in 1954 and the French strongpoints in the Dien Bien Phu valley. The author has included instead some nice b/w photos which are very useful fot younger readers to catch the spirit of the era.

Looking For Your First Book On the Battle of Dien Bien Phu?.......2006-07-18

Why should you buy this book?

After all, there are three (debatably) better books on this pivotal siege/battle, the one written by Jules Roy, the one written by Martin Windrow and the last by Bernard Fall.

What makes Simpson's book good is that it can serve two purposes. One, the reader can gain a fast understanding of the siege/battle without going into sometimes tedious detail. And two, this book serves as a great jumping-off point for those who want to learn more about this great siege/battle. That is why I read his book. I found it to be a real page-turner.

My only complaint about Simpson's book is the lack of maps. The only two maps were of French Indo-China in 1954 and of the French positions in and around Dien Bien Phu. Readers would have been better served with slightly more elaborate maps, perhaps ones that showed the various sub-forts (ex: Eliane 4)within the various strongpoints. Maps that also showed the attack routes used by the Vietminh would have been a plus as well.

All in all, this is a good book with only one error that I could spot. In the chapter "Living With Death", Simpson makes mention of the battle of Camerone in 1863, a battle in which the French Foreign Legion's reputation was born.

Simpson states that "...the five surviving Legionnaires died fighting, skewered by Mexican bayonets..." In fact, three Legionnaires survived the battle, spared by the awe-struck Mexicans who marvelled that such men could fight as furiously as the Legionnaires did.

If you're looking for a good initial book to read about Dien Bien Phu, I definitely recommend it.

Dien Bien Phu Through The Eyes Of An American Who was There.......1999-09-23

This is the personal memoir of an American diplomat who was posted to French Indo-China before, during and after the catastrophic defeat of the French Expeditionary Corps at Dien Bien Phu. It is not the scholarly review of the daily travails of the battle that can be found in the late Bernard B. Fall's HELL IN A VERY SMALL PLACE, but, it is a valuable addition to the literature of that pivotal battle. Simpson knew all of the key players on the French side. He knew "Bruno" Bigeard, commander of the famous 6eme "Batallion de Parachutistes Coloniaux; the aristocratic cavalry officer de Castries, who commanded the French garrison at DBP. He knew the rest of the "paratroop mafia" including Langlais, Botella, Brechignac and Giraud who eventually took command of the French pockets of resistance and held the Viet Minh at bay for 57 days. Simpson tells of the mistakes that the French made and compares them to some of the later ones made by America in our war there. But, it is also obvious that he was a man of his times and his leanings were toward the French. Simpson admired the elan and bravery of the soldiers of the French Expeditionary Corps. The Frenchmen and Legionnaires who fought a thankless war at the end of the supply line were professionals and he respected them for their dedication and their desire to prevent the Associated States of Indo-China from falling into the Communist orbit. This book is a personal history, filled with personal anecdotes and of course because it is history, we already know the ending. The French lost at Dien Bien Phu and were eventually forced to leave the "crown jewel" of their overseas empire. Eventuallly, the problem would become America's as the decision-making shifted from Paris to Washington. I recommend this book to readers of Fall's fine history of the battle AND to people who haven't read it because they don't want to get into the technical details of the battle. Students of the French conflict in Indo-China should also read this book so that they can fill in any gaps concerning the personalities of the senior French leadership. All in all, this book needs to be in the library of any serious student of the lengthy war that bled the finest of both the French and American armies.

Good book, with lots of little nuggets........1998-08-24

Simpson's profile of the legendary "Para" Bigeard is welcome, as their are not too many of this Homeric figure. I'd have given it a five star, but Fall's "Hell In A Very Small Place" and Jules Roy's "Siege of DIen Bien Phu" were more griping and comprehensive (Simpson had flown out of DBP by the the time of the siege.)

Outstanding Book; Well Written.......1998-02-23

Well written depiction of one hell of a battle. Hats off to the brave French warriors who risked it all.

A must read.......2000-11-04

This book is one of the best I have ever read about the history of the Southwest and Northern Mexico. Forbes challenges many of the stereotypes about the Apaches and Navajos using archival documents from the colonial period. For example, he shows that the idea that the Apaches were inherently warlike and "savage" is untrue and misleading. In fact, it was the colonial policy of Spain that drove the Apaches into a raiding lifestyle. This is a great book for anyone interested in the history of the Latin American froniter, the American West or just of history in general. I recommend this book over all others about the Apaches.

Book Description

Headspace gas analysis is an analytical technique that has been successfully applied to food flavors for over 20 years but has experienced a resurgence of interest and innovation in recent years. In its truest form, headspace analysis represents the direct collection and analysis of the mixture of vapors in the space immediately above a food or beverage. The technique offers several advantages for workers interested in how a product smells and ultimately tastes. It offers the advantages of speed, simplicity, and, more importantly, represents the aroma profile a consumer is likely to experience just before consuming the product. Since only volatile components are collected, the sample is totally free of nonvolatile residues which commonly plague comparison liquid-liquid extracts of the same product.

This text book is required by the professor for the course my daughter taking for her 4th year in bio-engineering and is available in the university bookstore at twice the price we paid at Amazon. The delivery time for Amazon is amazingly fast, virtually overnight for Amazon Prime account, my daughter is completely satisfied with it. I would advise those who are attending college to make Amazon as the first stop for their text book needs.

The book handles all the techniques, principles and recommended applications regarding sampling, proximate analysis and special analysis for the main components in foods, carbohydrate, protein and fats. It also includes an excellent review on the biochemical and instrumental methods. I would recommend a second book regarding the special analysis for the food groups.
