      Book Description

      Spas are quickly becoming the destination of choice for travelers looking to decompress from the tensions and hurried pace of their normal lives. This beautifully designed book features some of the most luxurious resorts from around the world to show how architects, designers, wellness providers and hotel owners have given new life to the concept of the spa vacation.

From the old-world elegance of Copenhagen's five-star Hotel d'Anglaterre to sleek, modern, architectural wonder that is the Hotel Atoll in Helgoland, Germany; from the magnificently situated Bacara Resort, perched upon the bluff's of California's central coast, to the classical atmosphere of the Thalassotherapy center at Spain's Byblos Andaluz; from the tropical paradises of the Seychelles and the South Pacific to urban retreats in London and Paris—each of these singular locations takes advantage of natural building materials and resources, while at the same time displaying the latest trends in architectural and hotel design.

        4 out of 5 stars Good Book.......2007-07-03

        I like Naruto and Pokemon, and I like to draw, so learning to draw anime people was a lot of fun. I pretty much have drawing the people down, but now I have to get all the supplies. Some of it is hard to understand, but I think that's because it's probably designed for adults. I don't care, though. Like I said, it's a good book!

        4 out of 5 stars Manga Magic.......2007-01-06

        All of you out there who would like to draw manga, and have a small to superb experience range, read this book! I bought it from a bookstore (Barnes&Noble), and found it extremely useful. I, although, was a beginner, back then, and found it difficult to comprehend what they said (a bit confusing). But, if you have that little bit of Manga Knowledge, pick it up!

        2 out of 5 stars No, no, no..........2006-10-09

        This book spends far more time telling us what kind of materials are needed and where to buy them/how to use them, than it does "how" to draw manga. I want to learn what characteristics make a successful manga figure, not how to produce a manga comic book. I did not feel this book was very useful - there is only one useful page, for example, discussing eyes, and it simply has 4 sets of "boys' eyes" and 4 of "girls' eyes."

        I don't consider this a "how to draw" book but rather a "how to get started making manga books with all the appropriate materials." Give me a black marker and some colored pencils and I'm happy. This book isn't worth it.

        4 out of 5 stars Excellent for any emerging manga artist!.......2006-05-04

        This book taught me so many things! Before I read this book, I thought I was going to have to make all those screentones myself! Boy, was I wrong! :D This book tells you what materials you'll need to write and draw your own manga, and describes them in great detail! However, I only gave this book 4 stars because...

        -It doesn't describe how to draw people very well. If you've mastered that (which I haven't), the book's fine.
        -It barely has any information on paneling.
        -The first few pages are colored digitally. A bit ironic that there are pages colored digitally in a book that gives instructions on how to draw traditionally, don't you think?

        Overall, if you're still a beginner, this book is not for you. But if you've gotten pretty good at drawing people and are ready to move on to publishing your own manga, buy this book immediately!

        Tip for you all: Ignore page 73. It doesn't know what it's talking about.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent!.......2005-02-27

        This book has excellent info on how to draw manga, especially for beginners. It's very acurate, and can show you many teqhniques to get started drawing manga. I absoulutely reccomend this book. It is absoulutely stunning, and the details are fantastic. Before I read it, my manga was, yes, terrible. But now, my manga has improved a lot more.

          Book Description

          "Norbert Krapf is an extraordinary poet... master of the short meditation...and he has returned to it brilliantly...this collaboration...is a match made in heaven. Jones is a master...creating stunning photographs of Indiana scenes that could easily be mistaken for impressionist paintings by the great masters." -- Spindrifter, 2007

          "After spending a few hours in the pages of Invisible Presence, I can see once more beyond the familiar to the miraculous." --Scott Russell Sanders, from the foreword

          In this surprising collection of photographs, acclaimed photographer Darryl D. Jones departs from his usual crisp, highly detailed, panoramic Indiana scenes. Here, Jones has masterfully crafted a series of photographs using processes called "Polaroid emulsion manipulation" and "Polaroid transfer" to create scenes more reminiscent of impressionistic paintings. Invisible Presence includes well over 100 images from a wide range of locations, subjects, and seasons in Indiana. Each image is appropriately accompanied by Norbert Krapf's descriptive poetry.

          Okay, imagin a series of cartoon strips, drawn with exacting detail and attention to likneses, that takes on the overblown egos of yesteryears second rate celebrities. Satires in the book include Tor Johnson, Frank Sinatra Jr., Joe Franklin, William Bendix, Jackie Coogan, Shemp Howard, Ed Platt, Ed Wood, and Lou Costello Jr. (assuming he hadn't drowned in that pool at the age of 1) and many others. Robert Crumb called Drew Friedman "the Crumb of the '80s". I've read it a thousand times and still find new things to laugh at.

              A terrific tribute to some 30 years in law enforcement. Dennis wise, has created an enjoyable, funny, informative, revealing and painfully realistic picture of the intricate and complictated traits within the law enforcement family.
              From idiots to egotists, he makes every attempt to hit the nail on the head and call a spade a spade,while entertainng one. This is a book some will praise and others will scorn, but as the author has said, "Let the chips fall where the may!"

                Book Description

                This memoir constitutes one of the best first-person narratives of the Civil War experience. It is written with power, candour, objectivity and elegance. The story that John Sergeant Wise recounts is a colourful, almost novelistic account of a young Confederate soldier's life and views. END OF AN ERA is a valuable archive of sociological and anthropological information about a bygone era. Wise affectionately recounts the cultural and economic diversity of his social landscape. He describes many of the small towns, villages, and territories of early Virginia, recalling the demographic, economic, religious, and political aspects that made them notable. In the book's detailed prose, the various strands that made up the fabric of antebellum Southern culture are captured beautifully. He also describes the privations and horrors of war, and the failings of Southern leaders, with unflinching honesty. He does not glorify the Southern army or its government, nor does he try to justify his occasionally ungentlemanly conduct and speech. The full range of his emotions is exhibited in this memoir, reactions he had to the complex changes that occurred within his own circle, as well as in larger Southern society.

                5 out of 5 stars The End of an Era.......2005-11-02

                My Great Grandfather John S. Wise died well before I was born. He lives on for me in his autobiographical book The End of an Era. His sense of humor, his foibles come through in his fantastic description and attention to details of the era.

                He was son of a Confederate War General and nephew to a famous Union War General.

                He chronicles his life from his birth in Brazil when his father was ambassador from the U.S., to his upbringing on the Eastern shore of Virginia (describing his father's election process), then on to living in Richmond when his father was governor. His tells of how he tried to get in on the action when John Brown stormed the armory at Harpers Ferry, (Opening scene of the book Cold Mountain when the governor is told of the invasion) through his schooling, entering V.M.I., leaving to fight in the war and to the surrender at Appomattox.

                I was named after his wife Eva Douglas.

                First published in 1899, this book has just as much appeal as the many editions published then.

                4 out of 5 stars Great Book!.......2007-08-23

                I really recommend this book to anyone who is looking to record the details of their baby shower! The unfortunate thing is that there aren't many out there to choose from. I wish this was a tad bit bigger. If your invitation is on the larger side, it might not fit on the page for a keepsake. But overall, I am very happy with the book. I wanted to be able to keep my own memories and have other's advice and predictions in the same place and this book does all of that and more.

                4 out of 5 stars It's a nice keepsake!.......2007-08-05

                We were looking for a shower keepsake book for my second shower. We had a very nice one 4 years ago from Hallmark for the shower when I was pregnant with my son. Now, Hallmark doesn't have them anymore so this seemed the closest to it that we could find. You can fit pictures, but only one on a page, which I would probably put more in a scrapbook anyways. I like all the spaces for signatures, predictions, gifts, and etc. It's not as big as my sons but it will be something still to cherish.

                4 out of 5 stars Great Baby Shower Gift.......2007-06-07

                I bought this for my daughter-in-law's baby shower.
                It's very cute and is formatted nicely for recording a very special event.

                We put a picture of the sonogram on front cover.
                We also layed the album open on table for guests to sign during the shower...

                5 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for..........2007-02-08

                This book has it all. I loved the parent pages and the advice section for the guests. It really is a treasure for mom-to-be.

                5 out of 5 stars Awesome!!.......2007-01-09

                I bought this for my sister's baby shower! She loved it! It is very cute and has plenty of pages for pictures, notes, predictions, etc! A great keepsake!

                5 out of 5 stars Great pregnancy journal.......2007-02-08

                I have one of these for each of my kids. It was a great way to keep track of what was happening everyday and tells you what is going on in your pregnancy and with your baby. I would look at these with each new pregnancy and compare and be reminded of what I was feeling at that stage with my other pregnancies. this would be a great gift for any mom to be. I will give each of my kids their book when they find out they are having a baby.

                  This is a great book to have throughout your pregnancy! It provides space for writing thoughts, feelings, and emotions, as well as space for pictures and announcements. Each page is decorated with an adorable pattern. It is great for someone who enjoys a scrapbook, but is limited in time, ideas, and money. This book has done the hard work for you, and when you complete it, it is a great keepsake to pass on to your child!

                      Korbonski gives many insights into the Polish Underground State. It includes everyday life under the German terror. Special emphasis is placed on the development and protection of clandestine radio transmitters. Interestingly, a simple rope-signaling system finally overcame high-tech German surveillance systems (p. 334). Good detail is provided about the murders of Poles at Palmiry, the Katyn Massacre, the role of freed British POW John Ward during the betrayed and foredoomed Warsaw Uprising, and the subsequent systematic destruction of Warsaw by the vindictive Germans.

                      The recent widely-acclaimed publication of FEAR, by Jan Thomas Gross, has accompanied accusations, by Gross and his fans, of Poles being too proud to admit negative aspects of their history, specifically acts of Polish collaboration being ignored because they do not fit the ruling paradigm of Polish resistance. The utter nonsense of such charges is readily evident in Korbonski's book. He devotes considerable detail to Polish consorting with and collaboration with the Germans (e. g., pp. 256-257).

                      Of course, the line between accommodation and collaboration was not always clear-cut. Korbonski clarifies the Volksdeutsche. While most of them were Polish-speaking Germans, some were ethnic Poles, of which only a small fraction should accurately be reckoned collaborators: "No sentence of death was ever passed on a Pole for having registered as a `Volksdeutsche'. The reason for this leniency was that the problem was more complicated than it appeared on the surface. Roughly speaking, the problem bore different aspects in the various aspects in the various provinces of Poland. The Silesians, for example, at the very beginning of the German occupation and in sheer self-defense, decided to register as Volksdeutsche, which in my opinion did not affect their patriotism and devotion to Poland. In Pomerania, from which district large numbers were deported to the General Government, the remainder of the population was compulsorily registered as German, and all men of military age were conscripted into the German Army. The same occurred in Posnania. These soldiers by compulsion eventually deserted from the German army and jointed the ranks of the Second Polish Corps in Italy. It was only in the General Government that the Poles were not compelled to register as Germans and cases of defection were extremely rare."(p. 135).

                      Another borderline case of accommodation and collaboration is exemplified by the Polish Blue Police (the Policja Granatowa). Wrongly equated with the Jew-killing Ukrainian and Baltic collaborationist units (the infamous Hilfspolizei, or Hiwis), the Blue Police was, in actuality, an anti-criminal force: "The Blue Police consisted of the pre-war Polish Police force; the Germans made them co-operate for the maintenance of public order."(p. 93). Of course, individual Blue Policemen did become open collaborators, and some of these were killed by the underground for helping the Germans kill Poles (p. 130, 134) and Jews (p. 206). Otherwise, some units of the Polish Blue Police were used by the Germans, with or without their consent, for anti-Polish and anti-Jewish actions. For example, the Blue Police was warned by the underground not to take part in the roundups of Poles for forced labor in Germany (pp. 118-119, 224). All in all, the actions of the Blue Police defied simplistic classification: "The attitude of the underground authorities towards the Blue Police was hostile, because as a body it had become a tool in the hands of the German police; but a number of policemen, such as the above-mentioned Inspector, were members of the underground, and frequently carried out most dangerous instructions. The Blue Police were aware that the underground authorities had ordered the suppression of banditry, so they were always glad to take a hand against them."(p. 242).

                      There are common mischaracterizations of Poles being indifferent too, or even secretly approving of, the Germans' extermination of the Jews. The truth is otherwise. Korbonski recounts the fact that underground Polish reports of Jews being sent to death camps were disbelieved by the British (pp, 252-253). Neither were the events of the Warsaw Ghetto (p. 359) accepted. (The advantage of John Ward reporting on the Germans' use of Polish civilian shields around their tanks during the Warsaw Uprising was the fact that he, an Englishman, was believed: p. 359).

                      In a cruel irony to the malicious charges (e. g., Schindler's List) of Poles cheering as Jews were being railroaded to death camps, the laughter was actually on the other side: "However, when the trains from the various countries continued to arrive, and when here and there Polish railwaymen were able to whisper a warning to the unfortunate Jews, they were not believed and were laughed at, especially by those Jews who traveled in passenger trains with their luggage and bedding; who were convinced that they were being transported to some labour camp, and that they would be able to survive the war by working hard."(p. 254).

                      On the basis of the fact that the Kresy (eastern borderlands) had only an ethnically Polish minority (albeit a large one), the British supported Soviet claims to Poland's eastern half. However, most of the non-Poles on these territories were not pro-Soviet, and some were pro-Polish. Consider the following entreaty: "I am a man from Minsk. Now that the Minsk province is under German occupation we can get in touch with people in the motherland. I have come to Warsaw as a representative of the ancient province of Minsk to ask the Polish Government not to forget our country, so that after the war the Minsk territory may be reunited with the motherland. It has been a Polish land for centuries, and wherever you go you'll find evidence of it. There are Poles still living there, and they are dreaming of a reunion. And the White-Ruthenians, too, dream of Poland as their deliverer from the Soviet hell."(p. 314). This was not to be.

                                The biologist Jacques Loeb (1859-1924) helped to shape the practice of modern biological research through his radical emphasis on reductionist experimentation. This biography traces his career and convincingly argues that Loeb's desire to control organisms, manifested in studies of both reproduction and animal behavior, contributed to a new self-image for biologists. The author places Loeb's experiments and the controversies they generated in their intellectual and institutional contexts, tracing his influence on the development of behaviorism, genetics, and reproductive biology.
