Great Photographs of Pool and Landscape.......2007-01-18
I think the book's inside cover is close to correct...
"Lavishly prodiced, The New American Swimming Pool is an invaluable and practical refernce book [Pool Owner - maybe not practical]. It is a fresh, important source of inspiration for architecture and landscape architecture enthusiasts, homeowners, architects, landscape architects, landscape designers, and pool contractors."
[...]
A GREAT Pool Book.......2005-07-07
This is a great pool book if you're contemplating building a classy pool with beautiful landscaping.
Nice pictures but.........2004-02-02
...there is absolutely nothing on construction. It's a coffee table book at best!
The best book out!.......2003-09-21
Not just great photos and ideas. This book give details on all the pools, including geographical location, size, depth, color of plaster, type of coping and decking/terrace, etc. Although there are a lot of great books out with wonderful pictures, this one doesn't have all tropical pools, which is nice for those of us who don't have a jungle of palms! Very nice designs for those who live in temperate climates or with more traditional yards/homes. Best pool book yet.

Customer Reviews:
Just plain great.......2007-03-20
This book is not intented to deliver technical help. It's a book full of tips
& tricks about general aspect of Mr. Reid approach to painting, with
differents conditions and subject. It's a great bed time reading.
Just an excuse for another book .......2007-03-08
The title of this book is rather misleading. I had thought I was going to get some real expert tips on watercolor painting but instead this book is just a reprinting of the artist's watercolor "NOTEBOOKS" with VERY little in the way of useable and tangible tips about painting in watercolor. The book is slender, sparsely laid-out and over-priced at that. It struck me as just an excuse for a book with a cleverly disguised title to market and sell it (everyone wants the "secrets", right?) . Save your money!
Paint by pages.......2006-12-20
Put 'Watercolor painting techniques' into Amazon Advance Search and you'll come up with well over a thousand titles. I'm sure most of these are worthy books but I'll stick with anything by Charles Reid. I have five of his books and 'Watercolor Secrets' together with Painting Flowers in Watercolour are probably the ones I look through most often.
All of the books, of course, show what a stunning artist he is though I much prefer his watercolor work rather than oils. It's his studied casualness that I love, colors define shapes, they merge into each other, large areas are just left blank and look unfinished yet the overall effect is controlled precision. His work is totally convincing and rather unique.
The five chapters in this book throw up lots of interesting techniques for the established painter*. I particularly liked the Demonstration pages in each of the five chapters. Each shows a step-by-step series of paintings from the original drawing to the finish with comprehensive captions to each picture. There's something for everyone in the book: figures, landscape and seascapes, flowers, buildings and more.
Another reason I like this book is because it's so good to look at. Visually it is based on a landscape sketchbook and nicely each spread has part of a used sketchbook printed in the spine. The layout and typography are first class (a tip of the hat to Wendy Dunning) and how refreshing to find a publisher that is prepared to go that little bit extra for the reader.
If you like Charles Reid get this book for some excellent examples of his work and positive thoughts on watercolor techniques.
*Just starting out? Have a look at Reid's Painting What You Want to See (Practical Art Books) which has some very basic instructions, especially on drawing.

The Real Deal.......2006-07-09
As a newcomer to watercolor painting, I have purchased an extensive library of books on the subject to better educate myself in this wonderful media. I stumbled upon "Charles Reid's
Watercolor Secrets" at a bookstore and it is my favorite of all the books I've seen. It is a beautifully printed book and his paintings are extraordinary, I am just blown away by his consummate skill as an artist.His use of color and negative space(white paper) are remarkable.A wide range of subjects are covered, landscapes, flowers, French Villas and towns etc.
What really sets him apart however,are his watercolor portraits,
just amazing. He seems to capture not just a likeness of the person but also their very essence. I love the painting of actor Gene Wilder though all the others are outstanding too.
I loved his portrait work so much I also purchased his book on the subject "The Natural Way to Paint". So many books on watercolor look the same, overdone subjects, overly tight painting. Charles Reid is the real deal, a true artist.Very inspiring, makes me want to paint every time I look at it.
Great Stuff for the Watercolorist.......2005-09-29
This is an inside look at the sketchbooks of one of the masters in watercolor. Sketch books are priceless to the artist and for Reid to share some of his thoughts about the sketching process is rather remarkable.

Families.......2004-07-03
An excellent book for children AND adults. A lot of information in a nutshell. The pictures of families around the world are perfect and a good way for everyone to see how all families are basically similar. I also especially liked the mini-family trees from each country.
fantastic.......2003-10-13
A must for any child. A must for any parent who strives to impart the knowledge of a larger world for their children.

Book Description
Did you go to high school?
Did you want to go to high school?
Or, God forbid, did you ever teach high school?
Roofing with a Naked Lady is for you–perhaps it’s about you.
During 30 years of teaching, Fred Anderson has found himself in hilarious, serious, and sometimes dangerous situations. In this collection of sometimes amazing but always true stories, Fred battles a falling barn, an army of cockroaches, an undercover superintendent, and teenagers wielding assorted powertools—and weapons.
Fred Anderson has taught guitar, theater lighting design, leather work, metal fabrication, drafting, auto mechanics, wood-working, cabinet making, pattern making, and construction trades, and of course, roofing. His love of teaching is second only to his passion for writing and telling his stories.
Customer Reviews:
Delightful.......2002-01-29
I laughed so hard I was crying. It really made my day. I hope Fred will continue to write as I know there are many more stories to be told. He has a real knack for seeing the humor in what we experienced on a daily basis. He also sees why we became teachers, it was the kids...
I am spreading the word to my teacher friends that this is a must read.
Been there, done that!!.......2001-11-18
My wife and I are both teachers and this book is a slice taken from our lives. I guess the same kids go to all the schools all over the world, because if we didn't meet these students and teachers ourselves, we heard about them in the teachers lounge or over dinner. Anderson finds the levity in these situations that we may have missed while under fire. Open this book on any page for humorous insights into the life of a high school teacher.
A flashback to my youth.......2001-11-04
I laghed. I cried. I peed my pants. Seriously, A great book of short stories that take me back to the ways of high school.
Hysterically funny stories.......2001-08-30
I found Fred's stories to bring back so many memories of high school. Although I'm not a teacher, I related to his zany descriptions of life during these years. This book is a "must read" for everyone! Keep the stories coming Fred!
The very real adventure of high school.......2001-08-28
Fred Anderson's stories not only sent me back to the goofy events of my own adolescence, he brought me face to face with what our precious teachers confront every day. Anderson's writing combines a wide aperture with a very fast shutter speed, capturing what life in a big high school often becomes: narrow glimpses of human sagas. I hope he writes more. I couldn't get enough of these wonderful little stories.

Book Description
This new translation of the strategy classic The Art of War restores the authentic meaning of the original work by showing how finding balance rather than doing battle is the true means to overcoming adversity.
The Art of Peace is drawn from the ancient Taoist work The Art of War by Sun-tzu-it is, in effect, the Tao of Peace. This version brings an entirely fresh yet textually sound interpretation to the many translations of The Art of War by emphasizing the true slant of the original text: balance over conflict.
By newly translating Sun-tzu's strategy classic, Philip Dunn provides the peaceful warrior with methods of getting in touch with the inner and outer nature of silence and vigilance that has been forgotten over millennia of war.

Ignorant teachers.......2003-12-25
So sad that ignorant "teachers" miss the point of a book like this altogether. In their blind unconsciousness they attach everything to some absurd notion that the intellect of the memory, which concocts the past so skilfully but innacurately, is the only form which a book's contents can take. This foolish notion - here exemplified by one of the "reveiwers" on this page, does nothing but place a negative view out of the ignorance of the writer (who incidentally is a mathematician!). From my reading of this book it is not about notions of academic precision but an attempt to show more people what can be learned from the past if the "hood" of modern attitude is removed. Who knows what Sun-tzu meant when he wrote the original Art of War? Who knows how life was then? Who knows even what Taoism is - certainly not this fool. I would recommend simply reading this unusual book and fogetting about the so-called "teachers," who know nothing anyway.
A Mathematician's Apologia (with regards to Hardy).......2003-12-08
I wanted to take the high road with the reviewer above (or, should I say, "reviewer"?). Indeed, my status as a mathematician (actually, a future mathematician; my Ph.D. is still a year away) should certainly disqualify me from any discourse on literary work, and perhaps I do so poorly with interpretation since there is little room for such in my discipline.
Still, I disdain this book. No, I certainly do not profess to understand the intricacies of Taoism (isn't it written, "The Way that can be spoken is not the true Way"?), and my knowledge of ancient Chinese culture is so scant as to embarrass me. Still, in my blind unconsciousness, I have picked up a few trinkets of knowledge here and there, and have used my own paltry intellect to form some insignificant conclusions.
First, while not a wealth of information is available, the curious reader can indeed learn a little of that era in which Sun Tzu lived. For example, one could check the Shi Ji of Sima Qian, or many classical works such as the Han Fei or Mozi, or look at the (uncountably infinite?) references to his master work throughout Chinese literature (as a little plug, the "Three Kingdoms" is an excellent place to start!). Of course, these works were written, these events took place a few hundred years after the death of this (possibly mythical) figure, but in none of these works will one find Dunn's interpretation.
As I mentioned before, in the time that Sun Tzu presumably lived, war was more of a social tradition than anything, with generals leading poorly-armed militiae of peasants every spring and autumn (hence, the Spring and Autumn period) to wage costly and indecisive wars against their neighboring provinces. Sun's book began to lay the foundation of war as a military science, one which, though grotesque in nature, was necessary in the end (at least in his opinion). Of course, Sun's war was different from that around him, in that great loss of life or property, even in victory, was to be despised. Dunn, however, seems to suggest that Sun Tzu was mainly a pacifist, and I (or many other sources) simply don't see this. Of course, it takes a Westerner to teach the world (smirk) and if he can make a few bucks doing it, so much the better. I have no problem with his ideas; I have a problem with him trying to pass his opinion as that of a far more respected writer.
It is worth mentioning that "The Art of War", as it is passed down to us, is as much the work of the Wei general Cao Cao as of Sun Tzu (for Cao Cao decided to destroy much of what he called "commentary" during the late second and early third century); a true pacifist if ever there was one (again, smirk). This information can be found in Samuel Griffith's masterful translation of "The Art of War"; I invite all readers of this book to check this out! Who knows what Cao Cao destroyed? Certainly not myself, or Mr. Dunn, or the reviewer above; as I said, it was destroyed.
My intellect or memory is rarely skilful, and often inaccurate. Any opinion I give here is mine alone to give, and I certainly don't mind being called a fool. But, could we stand to be a little nicer to each other over this medium? The point of this exercise by Amazon, I presume, is to give the reader differing opinions about the various products available (since no one here likes to waste money!). Indeed, my opinion certainly differs from the others for this book; incredibly enough, this is the point! I have give sound evidence as to WHY I dislike the book. If this does not appeal to you, so much the better. But let's dispense with the insults and harsh words towards each other, OK?
Good medicine for weary spirits.......2003-06-13
This is a wonderful book not only for spiritual warriors, but for everyone else too. Conflict resides within the kernel of all human relations and in nature too, and all too often we find ourselves overwhelmed by it and take actions that escalate the level of conflict rather than help to calm the situation. This book helps to remind us that in the face of conflict we do still have a choice, a position we can take that won't make us part of the conflict. It is the opposite side of the coin, or, as some would call it, the "divine view" that restores balance and peace.
A great solace in times of world conflict, a good medicine for all weary spirits dealing with conflict in the great and small moments of our lives.
Special, subtle, real........2003-05-23
This is a very special, subtle and real book that gets to the heart of the human problem of aggression and conflict. If the US government, the armed forces, and the bullies of this planet were all to read this book, war would seem as foolish as it is in truth.
Sadly, given it's gentle appearance, only the most discerning will notice it.

Book Description
Miller's LIVING IN THE ENVIRONMENT, 14th Edition is the most comprehensive and up-to-date environmental science text on the market. It has the most balanced approach to environmental science instruction, with bias-free comparative diagrams throughout and a focus on prevention of and solutions to environmental problems. Tyler Miller is the most successful author in academic writing on environmental science because of his attention to currency, trend setting presentation of content, ability to predict student and instructor needs for new and different supplements, and his ability to retain the hallmarks on which instructors have come to depend. The content in the 14th edition of LIVING IN THE ENVIRONMENT is everything you have come to expect and more. In this edition, the author has added the "How Would You Vote?" feature, which is an application of environmental science-related topics in the news. Students apply their environmental science knowledge from the book to a Web activity, which helps them investigate environmental science issues in a structured manner. They then cast their votes on the Web. Results are then tallied. Also found at the Miller website is the much used "Updates on Line." Updated twice a year with articles from InfoTrac College Edition service, CNN® Today Video Clips, and Web links, instructors can seamlessly incorporate the most current news articles and research findings to support text presentations. This is a time saver for instructors and part-time teachers who can quickly determine what ancillary materials they want to utilize in just minutes. As with the last edition, this text is packaged with a free Student CD-ROM entitled "Interactive Concepts in Environmental Science." Organized by chapter, the CD gives students links to relevant resources, narrated animations, interactive figures, and prompts to review material and test themselves.

made me angry.......2007-09-23
I have not read the whole book yet, and I have the 2004 edition (#13). I truly hope the newer editions are better. This is a review of Chapter 1 only.
The chapter annoyed me. It even made me angry. It is milquetoast, unable to just say we, the human population, is depleting too many resources to be sustainable. Adding the statement "other analysts do not believe we are living unsustainably" to an Environmental Science textbook is like saying "some people believe the earth is flat," in a geography textbook, or, something that unfortunately seems to happen in some biology textbooks these days, "evolution is just one theory, there are other theories as well, some experts believe god created all life on earth as it is today." A similar statement was made in part 1-6, "Is our Present Course Sustainable?." "Are things getting better or worse? Experts disagree..." Experts paid by huge resource exploiting corporations? Experts who like to bury their heads in the sand?
There were a number of interesting facts in the text that the general statements did not reflect. These inconsistencies really got to me. It seemed as if it were trying to write about what was outside the box but writing from inside the box. I particularly disliked the sentence that included: "... how much more we need to do to help make the earth more sustainable..." Wait a second, if you were writing from a viewpoint that "Nature does not exist just for us and we only think we are in charge. We need the earth, but the earth does not need us," how can you talk about "making the earth more sustainable?" The earth is what it is and is bountiful, it is our resource exploitation and pollution that are not sustainable for human survival.
I found the first part of the side bar "Free-Access Resources and the Tragedy of the Commons" quite interesting, but the second part on solutions seemed to missing a lot. The first of the two listed solutions was: "Use free-access resources at rates well below their estimated sustainable yields or overload limits by reducing population, regulating access, or both." It then went on to say how this is rarely used since it means we would have to establish and enforce rules and regulations, and it is hard to figure out a sustained yield. But it doesn't mention that educating people about these resources that they take for granted could go along way. Also not mentioned is that regulating the devices that allow people to exploit these resources (such as clean air, the atmosphere, water and wildlife) so easily and unthinkingly would be much easier than regulating their actual use. A lot of the resources mentioned are being depleted by pollution not use in a strict sense. The other solution listed is: "Convert free-access resources to private ownership," since if someone owns something they will protect it, has so many problems which are not addressed. The books lists the problem with this solution as being that "it is not practical for global common resources (such as the atmosphere, the open ocean, most wildlife species, and migratory birds) that can not be divided up and converted to private property." What about the fact that people do exploit the resources that they do own, and the fact that it would no doubt cause even more problems with poverty, and sharing things in common is what brings people together as a community (e.g. they all go to the park and see each other), and so many other problems that I get overwhelmed just thinking about them.
There was a lot of talk about overpopulation as a major problem, but not so much talk about overconsumption by certain parts of the population, even though there were sections on this. There was a section on ecological foot print and how the people in the USA have such a large one, but this didn't seem to get integrated into the text. There was also the statement: "Thus poor parents in a developing country would need 70 - 200 children to have the same lifetime resource consumption as 2 children in a typical U.S. family," but there was a lot of emphasis on population as a major problem and how in underdeveloped countries populations are growing as such a fast rate, when slight rises in US middle/upper class populations can make so much more difference. It felt to me like too much blame poor people in poor countries when it is people in the US and corporations based in the US enriching people in the US who are causing so much of the problems, even exporting our TV and advertisements to other countries which makes people want our unsustainable lifestyle.
There was also no mention of empowering women as a major tool to deal with high birthrates. There is overwhelming evidence that when you empower women to choses when they want to get pregnant and give them education and job skills birthrates do down. The paragraph on why poor people have so many children basically says the reason is to have their labor, with no mention of lack of birth control or power of women to make choices. It also seemed racist and disrespectful.
While we are on the subject of racist and disrespectful, what is with the developed and developing labels? The societies in all countries are developed, it is just industrial manufacturing and certain kinds of resource exploitation that are not as developed.
One last perhaps picky complaint. Figure 1-13 mentions "Traditional decision making" and "traditional societies" but it really does not mean traditional, it means modern industrialized hierarchical societies. This may seem picky but I feel it really does matter, we need to keep remembering that these societies we are living in are new, not traditional. True traditional societies did merge social, economic and environmental issues when making decisions, in fact, they did so in all aspects of living their lives. What we need to do is get back to them.
Policical retoric and not science.......2007-04-29
The state of Washington mails each registered voter a "Voter's Pamphlet" with statements for and against each initiative and candidate.
This book has the same format as a page for initiative X complete with rebuttals, but no page against initiative X.
This is completely one sided political rhetoric.
Why are high school students being given 815 pages of brainwashing?
I can understand some political extremest writing this book, but why would the Mercer Island school district buy this book?
I know science.
This ain't science.
Maybe political science.
Good Practical Book.......2007-04-20
Being a chemistry student, I've read this book as part of my classes. I've got to say, it's an excellent book, definitely worth reading by itself. It offers concrete, pragmatic solutions and an unbiased collection of scientificly supported descriptions of environmental problems and how to deal with them. It's also almost completely devoid of gloom and doom, as opposed to some of today's green movements. Very much recommended.
Schoolbook review.......2007-01-03
I found this book to be fairly well written with only a little bias toward evolution, an unproven scientific theory.
Reviews, anyone?.......2006-01-18
This is an excellent textbook, one that I have used in two of my Environmental Science classes (namely, Environmental Problems of Man [Bio 11], and Energy for the Future [Envi Sci 1].) While not completely without bias (which is mostly subtle, and not totally incorrect), the book offers a solid introduction to many environmental issues. The introduction chapter of the textbook states that environmental science is interdisciplinary, and the book is laid out accordingly. Chapters run the gamut from biology, chemisty, simple physics, and pure ecological common sense. An excellent purchase for any serious scientist and/or conscientious environmentalist.
