Not what I expected........2007-05-12

This book was a dissapointment for me. I don't have an unlimited budget for store design and most of the businesses featured in this book clearly did. There are a few exceptions to this in the book, but if you're a small business looking for ideas to freshen up your store, I would not recommend this book.

Not relavent for most businesses.......2007-02-25

This book is basically just a picture book of expensive stores most of us can't afford to shop in (the ones with 2 pairs of shoes on one entire wall, and 3 items on fancy hangers on the other wall). Most of the displays are designed so specifically around the products so it's difficult to even use the pictures as inspitration for different types of merchandise.

We got much more inspiration from the book "Store Presentation & Design" by Vsiual Reference Publications.

Best watercolor book for beginners.......2007-05-20

When I decided to take up watercolors I ended up purchasing a library of books - almost twenty - but the best one of them all for a beginner is this book by Jack Reid. He not only takes you through all the technical details of watercolors - materials, washes, techniques but, before confusing the beginner with mixing and using colors, he first ensures that you have a solid understanding of values. The most brilliant colors in the world will not help a picture where the values are wrong or non-existant. Jack Reid starts the student with monochrome landscapes through most of the book until you really understand and can produce an excellent piece of art using only color in all of its tones and values. Then you reproduce the same picture using one, then two, and working up to five colors. By the time he takes you through a full painting - a step that most watercolor books jumped into at the start - you have a much better mastery of your medium, of planning your landscapes, of being able to work wet into dry or wet into wet. By the time I completed his work I was able to go back to some of the earlier books and now successfully complete their exercises. I could concentrate on the best use of color because I clearly understood how to the apply the tones and shades and values of those colors to enhance the picture. This is an outstanding book for beginners and one I highly recommend.Watercolor Basics: Let's Get Started (Watercolor Basics)

excellent book.......2007-05-13

This book is really really good for the beginner artist learning watercolors..Its easy to follow and understand. I would recommend this book to anyone, even if you already are dabbling in watercolors and want a couple of lessons in it, this is also a great book to help you out.

Great for begners.......2007-02-19

By far the best beginner book I have ever picked up. I have used some of the ideas in this book to teach workshops and have had tremendous success with people that have never picked up a brush. You can"t go wrong

Good, but video instruction is perhaps better.......2006-03-05

I've purchased quite a few instructional books on both watercolors and oils. While I found this one easy to follow for the absolute beginner, in practice, I found the exercises to be a bit stilted. What I mean by that is in attempting to reproduce his paintings, step by step, I found that it took away the wonder and spontenaity one might experience while sketching and painting a simple still life set up. I understand the theory behind the book, and the value studies are interesting, but I think that simply practicing washes, and also practicing with simple still lifes might be more rewarding. I've watched a few videos on watercolor painting which have been more helpful than any book.

if you are fat and want to feel better about your body this could help. if you like the look of fat women you will like these photos. if you think fat women are hideous, I would lock you in a room with this book and it would probably change your mind.

I was hoping for interesting photographs of women that are not normally used in nudes
sadly the photographs are boring.

Real women, naked and unashamed. Anyone who enjoys looking at big women will love this book. Anyone who *is* a big woman will find this book an affirmation.

A photographic antidote to your daily dose of poison.......2006-11-11

This book is brave. The models were courageous and their images and words share their confidence with the viewer and reader. It's one of a very few books that I need to own so as to re-experience it often and borrow strength from it. One thing about art that people so often forget is that it can remind us of who we are and why we live. Images and words can help us continue our journey by relighting our lantern of hope. This book does that for me.

Absolutely Wonderful!.......2006-04-24

Finally, a book that showcases deliciously round women! I agree with the reviewer that these images will stay with you for a long time. The enduring part is that the models' real beauty and sexiness come through in these photographs. I hope the photogapher will use her style and creativity to showcase older, mature women as bodies of this type are hardly ever photographed or deemed beautiful.

Flo Jo and the Funny Suits.......2000-11-22

(3 elementary students: ...): It's a very interesting book. It tells about Flo Jo's one-legged suits and her unique personal style. It inspires people never to give up on something you love a lot. There were times when Flo Jo was worried she wouldn't be able to compete, but somehow she perservered through the difficult times. In this book you will find out that Flo Jo made many new world records in running. (We don't understand how she could sign autographs with her six-inch long fingernails!!) Flo Jo wasn't allowed to run in the hand off relay because her fingernails were too long. In the end, the the coaches let her keep them (the second time). We would recommend this book for people who are looking for a good biography and love running. We think the reading level for this book is appropriate for grades 3 and up, or as a Read Aloud for grades 2 and up.

Book Description

"When you are a great-grandfather, you will experience something so much more powerful and meaningful than being a father or a grandfather that you will look at the march of generations with new eyes."
-- from Letter to a Great Grandson

In this heartwarming book -- written for his great-grandson but perfect for readers of all ages -- a beloved commentator and trusted public figure shares his thoughts on topics ranging from relationships to science to life in general.

When his great-grandson Alexander was born in 2002, Hugh Downs suddenly gained a rare perspective on the world from seeing American culture evolve through five generations (his parents', his own, his children's, his grandchildren's, and now his great-grandson's). Once Downs realized the extraordinary amount of love he felt for his brand-new descendant and the profound connection he sensed between them, he decided to write a letter to be read at the different stages of Alexander's life.

Letter to a Great Grandson is thoughtful and touching, funny and wise. With his trademark insight, Downs discusses the joys, possibilities, and challenges of infancy, young adulthood, middle age, old age, and everything in between. Divided into eleven chronological decades of life, it describes the common problems, achievements, and expectations of each stage. Throughout, Downs offers his characteristically erudite thoughts on myriad subjects, as well as delightful anecdotes from his own life.

A celebration of the remarkable bond between grandparents and their grandchildren (and great-grandparents and their great-grandchildren), this special book emphasizes the importance of maintaining that most precious possession -- family connections. It will resonate personally with each reading and in each new phase of life, and is a wonderful gift to be treasured for generations.

Very insightful book!.......2004-12-12

Imagine coming "to the realization that the more you learn, the more you expand the periphery of your ignorance" . . . that happens when you're 18, according to Hugh Downs in his moving LETTER TO A GREAT GRANDSON.

Downs, who coanchored ABS's 20/20 and who hosted NBC's TODAY show for nine years, originally wrote this book as a letter to his great grandson . . . he meant it to be read at various stages of the boy's life.

It made me realize how much we can learn from our family and made me want to know more about my dad's life (hint-hint to him, if he's reading).

Downs discusses the joys, possibilities and challenges of infancy, young adulthood, middle age, old age, and everything in between . . . I particularly liked the fact that he helped me see that getting old is what we make of it, as evidenced by his own remarkable life . . . for instance, he went through the NASA space training that John Glenn did when both were 77.

There were many insightful passages; among them:
I tend to be a denier. This is not all bad. I tried to avoid the word "painful." I said my knee condition was "annoying." I did not want to believe the condition was (a) irreversible, (b) painful, (c) something that could diminish the quality of my life. The result was that, toward the last, if I walked six blocks in Manhattan, I found it "annoying" enough that I was ready to sit on the curb and wait for a cab.

The only strong feelings I have that might be linked to a religious outlook are of overwhelming gratitude at being favored with such a good life. If people who have been dealt a bad hand--people who suffer, physically or mentally, or are the victims of great tragedy--can manifest real faith, it would be pathetic if I couldn't feel something long that line, considering my fortunate
circumstances.

About ten years before you were born I interviewed a number of centenarians who participated in a University of Georgia study. They were the cream of the crop, because the study was not about disease and impairment so much as trying to find out what changes there were in healthy people that old. These people, men and women, ranged in age from 102 to 106, and like any other age group, varied widely among themselves. But they had a couple of things in common: not one of them was bitter, or hate-filled, or complaining. I wondered if that had something to do with their longevity. And while they were mentally agile, and in some cases quite sharp, none of them was
physically robust. You do not reach one hundred (or for that matter, eighty) and embark on a career as a star athlete.

Book Description

Operation GOODWOOD is the story of the largest armoured battle fought in the campaign for north west Europe. Over a thousand British and Canadian tanks were employed as three British armoured divisions pushed forward down a narrow corridor in an attempt to achieve a clean penetration of the German lines. The clash between two very different armies resulted in a number of local battles, which are studied in detail.

Close to Caen, this battlefield is particularly accessible to cross-channel visitors. This Battleground book guides visitors around the tanks battlefield, showing what remains and what has changed, using copious present-day images alongside previously unpublished1944 pictures, including detailed aerial photography of the battle in progress.

An Excellent Account of the "Apparent Failure".......2004-08-23

For most American military history readers, Operation "Goodwood" was merely the largest of a string of British failures to seize Caen in Normandy in July 1944. Since most US histories of the Normandy campaign focus on the breakout with Operation Cobra, the "apparent failure" of Operation "Goodwood" as General Eisenhower referred to it, gets little scrutiny. Thanks to Pen & Sword's excellent Battleground Europe series on the Normandy campaign, American readers can now begin to correct some of those misconceptions about this important operation. Ian Daglish provides a first-rate military evaluation of the operation, complete with British and German perspectives.

Daglish begins the volume by describing "Goodwood" as the "biggest tank battle the British army fought in World War Two." However, this is incorrect since there were nine British tank battalions used in "Goodwood" with about 1,000 tanks, but the British army had used eighteen tank battalions with 1,000 tanks at El Alamein in 1942. The author notes the manpower crisis in the British army affected their conduct in Normandy; they could afford to lose tanks but not infantry. With the fighting deadlocked around Caen, the British had to develop a plan that would minimize their own infantry losses while offering a reasonable chance to expand the bridgehead. Operation "Goodwood" was originally conceived by Field Marshal Montgomery as an attrition attack that would gain some ground and wear down German armor reserves. However, General Dempsey - the commander of British 2nd Army - modified the plan as a potential breakthrough attack. As Daglish notes, "Eisenhower became convinced that Goodwood was to deliver a major breakthrough, effectively a left hook through the German lines to mirror the right cross of Operation Cobra."

One of the strengths of this volume is the space that Daglish devotes to describing the opposing forces in detail (although unfortunately, there is no order of battle). General Richard O'Connor's British 8th Corps was to spearhead the attack with three armored divisions (7th, 11th and Guards). The British plan was to precede the attack with a saturation bombing, followed by artillery prep fire, then to attack in echelon down a one kilometer-wide "penetration corridor." Facing this mass of armor was the depleted German 21st Panzer Division, which was deployed in depth but lacking in infantry. However, the British had to get their three armored divisions across the Orne River and their assembly areas were so cramped that that most of the artillery was too far back. The operation started well, with the heavy bombings delivering one of the most effective carpet bombings of the war: 6,500 tons of bombs were dropped and much of it landed on the German armor deployed in the forward areas. The German front-line defenders were effectively suppressed by the combination of bombing and artillery barrage, allowing the British first wave - two reinforced armor task forces - to penetrate several kilometers into the German defensive zone.

The majority of this volume focuses on the lead British armor division - the 11th Armored Division - and the German response to its advance. Although the British bombing and artillery had suppressed most of the defenders in the path of the attack, the British chose to bypass a number of villages held by the Germans, assuming that follow-on forces would reduce these obstructions later. British intelligence preparation of the battlefield (IPB) was poor and this came back to haunt them as they encountered unforeseen obstacles and more extensive enemy defenses. The Germans recovered from their initial shock and a battery of four 88mm guns destroyed 15 tanks in one of the lead battalions. British actions on contact were faulty - attempting to drive past German antitank guns rather than methodically eliminating them - and caused heavy casualties. Essentially, the British lead elements were almost halted due to the railway embankments at the southern end of the corridor, and the bunched-up vehicles behind them were catching direct and indirect fire from both east and west. Very quickly, the British 11th Armored Division lost the initiative and was merely trying to hang on for survival, while the follow-on divisions could barely deploy. Daglish exaggerates the significance of the narrowness of the British attack corridor; one kilometer wide was sufficient to move all the British armor they needed through the German main line of resistance. The problem was not width of corridor but reconnaissance, observation and security.

Much of this volume also focuses on the reaction of the 21st Panzer Division - energized by Colonel Hans von Luck - to "Goodwood." Despite heavy losses, Luck was able to cobble together a defense from remnants until German reinforcements could arrive. Readers should carefully note the author's description of two counterattacks by German Tiger tanks; both attacks failed miserably and demonstrate that the reputation of the Tiger has been exaggerated. Daglish fails to note that the Germans also under-estimated the obstacle posed by the railway embankments, since the handful of underpasses were not covered by obstacles or fire.

My only disappointment with this volume is the lack of sufficient detail on casualties. While Daglish mentions that the 11th Armored Division lost 126 tanks on the first day of "Goodwood," it is not clear what total British armor and infantry losses were like. Detailed data on casualties is critical in assessing whether or not Goodwood was a failure, or worthwhile. Clearly, the British lost the equivalent of one armor division to write-off most of the German 21st Panzer Division, but the bulk of the SS armor was not badly depleted in the Goodwood fighting. Although Caen fell shortly after "Goodwood", it was due more to Canadian infantry attacks than British tank charges. Thus, "Goodwood" apparently failed to either achieve a breakthrough or seriously degrade the German armor in Normandy. Yet "Goodwood" did give the British some "elbow room" on the east side of Caen that would give them valuable jump-off points later.

Book Description

In August 1644, at the height of the First English Civil War, John Graham, the Marquis of Montrose, raised the standard of Royalist rebellion in Scotland. In a single year he won a string of remarkable victories with his army of Irish mercenaries and Highland clansmen. His victory at Auldearn, the centrepiece of his campaign, was won only after a day-long struggle and heavy casualties on both sides. This book details the remarkable sequence of victories at Tippermuir, Aberdeen, Inverlochy, Auldearn and Kilsyth that left Montrose briefly in the ascendant in Scotland. However, his decisive defeat and surrender at Philiphaugh finally crushed the Royalist cause in Scotland.

Good overview of the campaign.......2003-11-20

Having read many books about the Marquis of Montrose, I have become a fan of his, so my review may reflect that bias. Perhaps that is why I can give this present work only a marginal approval rating. Stuart Reid seems to write this from a distinctly English/Covenanter standpoint.

Before I deal with the negatives, let me say that overall the book is good. The paintings of the battles add greatly to the presentation, and give the reader a good idea of the face of an English Civil War battle. Sketchings of clothing and uniforms as well as weapons and flags are placed throughout the book.
While the entire campaign of 1644-45 is covered, much of the book deals with the central battle of Auldearn. Mr Reid details this battle well, with both maps and photographs. Understanding what happened at Auldearn can enable a person to get a good grasp of the entire period.

The maps are good, although in typical Osprey fashion the middle of each two-page map is obscured by the bookbinding. This is unfortunate, since much of the action in a map occurs in its center, but this is the very part that cannot be clearly seen.

Now the negatives. Mr Reid seems to have a desire to detract from Montrose's fame and achievements. Perhaps this is because he believes that Montrose has benefited from "hero worship" and been raised to nearly mythological status. In this he may be correct, but his efforts to "set the record straight" seem to lead to an over-reaction against Montrose. For instance, Mr Reid seems to consistently underestimate the size of the Covenanter armies. I say this because his figures often disagree with virtually every other account of the battles that I have read. Perhaps Mr Reid is right on some accounts, but I wonder if he may have just wanted to diminish Montrose's accomplishments.

Another, perhaps picky, observation is that Mr Reid refers to Montrose's troops as rebels and Alasdair MacColla's Irishmen as mercenaries. Montrose in fact supported the legitimate government of King Charles and so was not a rebel at all. The Irish were decidedly not mercenaries; they were involved in a blood feud with Clan Campbell, and fought for glory, honor, and plunder. Montrose had no money to pay them, even if he had wanted to. Again, I must wonder at Mr Reid's motive in designating the troops this way. It seems to demean them somewhat.

By the way, in spite of what the back cover says, Montrose did not surrender at Philiphaugh.

Despite my criticisms, I do indeed recommend this book, but only as a companion to other, more thorough accounts of this very interesting campaign.

Worst Volume in Campaign Series.......2003-08-18

It is difficult to see how Stuart Reid's volume on the Auldearn Campaign in Scotland in 1645 made it into Osprey's Campaign series. For a series that claims to provide "accounts of history's greatest conflicts," this obscure sideshow to the English Civil War clearly does not rank as a "great conflict." Indeed, since Osprey has yet to produce volumes on significant battles like Friedland, Stalingrad, El Alamein, Tannenberg, , Blenheim or Actium, it is amazing that they would stoop to devoting an entire volume to a campaign that hold so little historical or military value (surely a section in the upcoming Essential Histories volume on the English Civil War could have sufficed). Nor is Reid, who wrote admirably about the Georgian-era British Army and the Culloden campaigns, up to snuff in this volume. He does not so much narrate this campaign as inflict it upon the reader, making it about as pleasurable as a root canal. With Auldearn 1645 Reid has accomplished the unthinkable - he has displaced Bosworth 1485 as the worst volume in the Osprey Campaign series.

The introductory sections on background, opposing commanders, plans and armies occupy a mere 11 pages - well below the series average. Noticeably, there is a portrait of only a single commander, the Marquis of Montrose. Reid provides only the faintest detail on other commanders, such as noting that MacColla was a professional soldier, but doesn't even mention the age of 3 of 4 leaders. The section on opposing armies is skeletal. The actual campaign narrative is an interminable 73 pages long (seemed like 900). Normally, I detail the maps and graphics that support the author's text, but there seems little point in this case, since Auldearn 1645 is so meandering. Readers should also note the very large number of current photographs of the various "battlefields" in this volume - Reid had a lot of void to fill. The rest of the artwork varies from fair to mediocre to irrelevant (lots of crude sketches of Highlanders).

First and foremost, the Auldearn Campaign simply didn't matter because the English Civil War was decided by Englishmen in England, not small bands of Irish mercenaries and Scottish tribal levies in the boondocks of Scotland. Montrose's plan to attract Parliamentary forces away from the main fighting in England was an early and conspicuous failure, since his forces - while elusive - were just too small to matter. Furthermore, Royalist forces lacked the popular support necessary to control large population areas, which was necessary for decisive results in a civil war. Another important factor, noted by Reid, is that many of the Scottish levies used by both sides had local agendas that had nothing to do with Royal authority (e.g. Clan Donald). Thus, win or lose, Montrose's wanderings in Scotland had negligible effect upon the outcome of the English Civil War. Even the authoritative Encyclopedia of Military History by Dupuy & Dupuy devotes only three short sentences to this entire campaign. Yet Reid, who seems hell-bent upon detailing every miniscule tactical movement, ignores this essential lack of strategic relevancy.

Another reason why this volume is a complete waste of time is the lack of sufficient reliable data to support Reid's narrative. Reid's paragraphs are so riddled with expressions like, "assuming," "it is likely," "this could mean," "this can be read to mean," "not quite so clear," "is uncertain," "is unknown," "was not explained" that the reader will quickly tire of all this vague guessing and wonder just what the author actually knows for a fact. It is particularly unsettling when Reid has to cite "local ballads," "local traditions," and "a pretty widespread rumor." Auldearn 1645 has the feel of poorly written historical fiction, not military history.

Finally, the Auldearn Campaign is simply not worthy of serious military study, since the forces involved were such primitive tactical throwbacks. At a time when real tactical development was occurring in England and on the continent, Reid bores the reader with detailing a battle where neither side had artillery, where perhaps 50% of the troops fought with pikes or swords, and where cavalry was used in only tiny amounts. Indeed, the recurrent lack of pre-battle reconnaissance by most of the combatants, and the preference for simple, frontal assaults mark the Auldearn Campaign as an affair of merely armed mobs. It is also significant that despite Reid's numerous photographs of modern cow fields in Scotland, there is only a single photograph of one small plaque marking one of the actions in the campaign; that should demonstrate to the reader just how well-remembered the Auldearn Campaign is in Scotland today. When I visited the Inverness-Nairn area years ago, I found plenty of mention of the Battle of Culloden, but not a word of Auldearn.

Book Description

The monograph is devoted mainly to the analytical study of the differential, pseudo-differential and stochastic evolution equations describing the transition probabilities of various Markov processes. These include (i) diffusions (in particular,degenerate diffusions), (ii) more general jump-diffusions, especially stable jump-diffusions driven by stable Lévy processes, (iii) complex stochastic Schrödinger equations which correspond to models of quantum open systems. The main results of the book concern the existence, two-sided estimates, path integral representation, and small time and semiclassical asymptotics for the Green functions (or fundamental solutions) of these equations, which represent the transition probability densities of the corresponding random process. The boundary value problem for Hamiltonian systems and some spectral asymptotics ar also discussed. Readers should have an elementary knowledge of probability, complex and functional analysis, and calculus.
