Book Description
From removing graffiti in Manhattan to rebuilding a hops barn in Oregon, the National Park Service-a part of the Department of the Interior-has faced just about every problem an old structure can encounter. Here for the first time is a collection of their hardwon know-how and official guidelines, written by the top experts in their respective fields of preservation.
Forty-two fully illustrated chapters include:
-- cleaning and waterproof coating for historic masonry
-- repointing mortar joints
-- maintaining historic adobe buildings
-- the dangers of abrasive cleaning
-- repairing historic wooden windows
-- rehabilitating historic storefronts
-- repairing wooden shingles
-- preserving barns
-- repairing stucco
-- using substitute materials on historic building exteriors
-- mothballing historic buildings
-- understanding architectural cast iron
There's even a chapter on repairing vintage signs. Each subject is treated with the utmost care and discusses the safest and most historically accurate repairs. Perhaps just as important as the valuable advice on how to undertake various projects, the guides also give invaluable advice on what not to do-based on years of preservation experience-that can save a homeowner thousands of dollars, hours, and perhaps a priceless piece of architecture. For the student or the professional restorer, THE PRESERVATION OF HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE is the official government text on saving old buildings.

Detailed Explanations and Illustrations.......2007-01-12
Not being familiar with many of the arcane housing construction terms that so many books use, it was refreshing to have a this book go into such detail explaining each area of historic construction touched upon to truly educate interested readers. The only downside being that the book is not a casuaul read - rather it is more of a technical manual.
If you need technical info, this book is for you!.......2006-02-20
Well writen and full of info for anyone who works in the field or just loves old buildings.
Book Description

Still Surreal After All These Years.......2007-09-10
An excellent guide to the development of creative inspiration, whether you are an artist or a writer or a musician. Dali writes with great humor and modesty--just don't take everything he writes literally! The drawings alone make this book a worthwhile addition to anyone's library.
dali does it.......2007-03-24
mr. S DALI is of course, right out of his mind, however his insanity was very methodical. he was a master. his book: a delightful read for the artist and dali enthusiaist alike. what more do you need to know. informative and entertaining. buy two or more copies because it also makes a great gift for the mad genius in your life.
50 Secrets for Dali Fans with a sense of humor.......2005-09-19
This book is a must for Dali fans who also have an interest in creating artworks themselves. A good sense of humour is required as much of the writing cannot be taken seriously. Some caution is required when choosing which "practical" suggestions are to be carried out or lessons to be taken literally. Overall a fine light read.
goodbye to abstractism..........2005-08-25
Outstanding! A book to be embraced by one who carries a surrealistic mind. These 'secrets' will continuously be misunderstood by those who 'think' they know what painting is.
This is most definately the true artists bible.
Great book for just after you've gotten some basics.......2002-09-09
This is a book on oil painting which is peppered with Dalinian absurdities and illustrations.
I like Dali's writing personality. But if you don't find humor in it, then just skip to the useful parts such as underpainting. I started using his advice for under and over painting colors ('glazes') and the results are wonderful. (soon to be posted on my website) He spells out very clearly how to do this. This is information that is not really spelled out in other books. Check out the oil painting - "Galarina" - of his wife which is reproduced in the book. Hundreds of hours of work.
Amongst some humorous and impractical "secrets" - making medium out of wasps, et al - there is some really sound advice directly from a master. How much would you pay to get two or three private lessons from him?
Humor, unique illustrations, great advice: I think Dali's book is a great bargain. I almost didn't write this review so that I could keep it more to myself!

Book Description
Preston Love's resume reads like a Who's Who of American music: member of the Count Basie Band during its heyday in the 40s, studio musician in Los Angeles, cohort of Jo Jones, Lester Young, Ray Charles, and Dizzy Gillespie, and back-up player for Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder. In this autobiography Love shows that, while the music centers of New York, New Orleans, Chicago, and Kansas City nurtured the development of those uniquely African American forms, jazz and the Motown sound, significant contributions were also being made by territory bands tirelessly performing in outposts like St. Cloud, Minnesota, Guthrie, Oklahoma, and Honey Creek, Iowa.
It was in the latter town where Love, a 15-year-old from the black ghetto of Omaha, made his musical debut. Captivated by the sweet alto sax sounds of Earle Warren, Love took up the instrument and within a decade was sitting in Warren's chair. But Love's personal odyssey is more than a chronicle of endless bus rides, bad crowds in backwater clubs, and feast-or-famine finances endured en route to the top. In a distinctive and passionate voice he outlines significant facets of African American history: the central importance of the family in musical development, institutional racism in American popular culture, and the interracial nature of the music world. He also describes the growth of the music industry, especially Motown, what he calls "the powerful colossus from Detroit." Love's story, told with uncanny memory and unfailing honesty, provides an important view into the career of a musician and the evolution of a major musical form.

A biography of arguably one of the smartest men in Russia.......2004-06-07
I don't like writing reviews but I believe I owe this one to Pozner. To those of you who don't know him, he is not only a man of incredible destiny but arguably on of the smartest men in Russia.
So much in one book: history of Soviet Union, family history, intense human relationships etc.
On The Mark.......2003-03-12
This writing by Pozner provides an honest look into his life personally and his perceptions of the U.S., world, and the Soviet Union, as a Soviet citizen. He was not the average Soviet citizen however. He was one of the fortunate few who were allowed to leave his country and spend time abroad. He was afforded the rare glimpse of American life and culture during his time there in the 1930s. This obviously is a part of him, as is his other numerous experiences. In addition, he also candidly shared his personal life with us. (When he saw his old-flame coming the opposite way on an escalator, for example). Pozner is down-to-Earth and it's easy for a reader to like and to relate to him.
I read this book when it first came out and went over it again recently, 14 years later, finding it in an old box of mine. His writings prove that he had good instincts on where his nation and culture, and the world was heading at the time he wrote "Parting with Illusion." He has the oration and writing ability to explain his viewpoints as well as the perceptions of many Russians when he wrote this book in 1989. He discussed Stalin and his legacy, and the graft and corruption that crept into the USSR, becoming commonplace by the 1960s.
Now, 14 years later, I wonder: where is Vladimir Pozner? I haven't heard or seen him since the late 1980s or perhaps early 90s.
At the time, he was articulate, and an astute observer of current affairs. Possessing a gifted knack for passing his observations on.
Today, in 2003, where is he now?
A Masterpiece.......2001-09-18
A truly excepional book and my all time favorite... An incredibly personal account of an extraordinary life of a true citizen of the world ... along with an insightful look into the drama of modern Russian history.
Pozner talks about his childhood, his parents, first glass of vodka and his first love, his marriages, career, spiritual and political struggles...
Plus a personal account of WWII, Stalin's purges, the Thaw, the Iron Curtain and Perestroika.
Eye opening.......2001-05-05
This book was a present to me when I was a senior in college and what a gift it was! The Russians often painted as the cold number one enemy came to be just as human as anyone. The author's struggle between being a journalist in a communist country certainly makes me, a journalist in a world that protects free speech, feel very humbled and fortunate.
It's humanity's greatest test when one is forced to question your own country's integrity. Yet the author has succeeded in standing by his principles. Extremely educational (and easy reading for students) for those who are not familiar with Russian history and diplomacy. It's been years since I read it and I look forward to picking it up again.

Revealing, informative, and highly recommended.......2004-02-09
Into The Fire: A Post - 9/11 American In Tel Aviv is the memoir of Charles T. Salmon, an American who immersed himself in Israeli culture. He arrived on a Fullbright fellowship, speaking no Hebrew, and largely unfamiliar with Judaism and Israeli customs. As time passed, Salmon closely observed Israeli-Palestinian negotiations; Palestinian terrorist events and Israeli responses; the differences between university studies in Tel Aviv and America, and a great deal more replete with insight, wit, and candid openness. Into The Fire offers contemporary readers a revealing, informative, and highly recommended presentation.
Into the Fire... I LOVED THIS BOOK!.......2003-10-26
This book was well-written, funny and easy-to-read. I read the entire book in two sittings because it was so interesting -- I was just engrossed in it. This book is good for someone interested in politics, foreign countries, and academia. Salmon's interest in wanting to make a difference and learn about many different cultures makes me want to take a class from him. I also liked how he used humor and candor in admitting his own shortcomings and what he missed about America. I would highly recommend this book to anyone over the age of 15. Wonderful! Keep writing and I will keep reading, Charles T. Salmon!
An exciting and insightful read!.......2003-10-25
Reading the book, you feel like you are alongside Salmon as he experiences the sites and people of Israel. Salmon's writing blends descriptions of his experiences with insightful perspectives on how life in Israel differs from the US in a way that entrances the reader. As an American living in our post-9/11 society, I found Salmon's descriptions of those who live world that constantly deals with terrorism, and how they deal with their environment, fascinating. It has made me think of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a new enlightened perspective. This book is a must read!

A psychiatrist looks at his own black market adoption.

Black humour on a black market adoption.......1999-11-30
As an adoptee I worried that Robert Anderson's humour on adoption was far too black. (His adoptee reading suggestions, Bedtime Favourites; My Mother Loved Me So Much She Gave Me Up; Your Birthparents Crashed and Burned; and of course Be Good or We'll Take You back !)
However, the very many golden nuggets of truth I found and returned to again and again were tremendously useful to me.
In "Search and Consequences" he describes two models for the search for ones birth parents; the medical "deficiency" model where the adoptee lacks information or experience which can be found by reunification with the birth parent(s); and the psychological trauma model where one acknowledges and responds to the trauma of adoption which was passively endured as a child, by actively mastering that trauma during a search. Finding is not imperative. The therapeutic agent is internal and the goal is growth, not cure.
He describes the "abstract, diffuse conflicts" adoption can cause, resulting in low self esteem, a lack of self confidence, feeling incomplete, a lack of a sense of belonging. He demonstrates the process of (unconscious) transference and the mayhem it creates in his own relationships.
And a lot more.
Perhaps the humour seems so black because of not having examined closely ones own feelings about the sometimes very uncomfortable issues he raises. As an aid to doing so this book does a great service.
(For light relief and more gloriously black humour on adoption look for Bastard Nation on the web).
If the subject is relevant to you I recommend the book very highly.
Easy to read... hard to put down. Worth reading twice!.......1999-03-04
Great book for all touched by adoption. Robert Andersen's book is compelling, thought provocative, and worth reading twice. Helpful not only to adoptees, but also for prospective adoptive parents seeking to understand the impact of adoption on their children. I found it an extremely insightful story. Easy to read... hard to put down. Excellent!
excellent expression of "black market adoptions".......1998-05-05
This book gets to the heart of what it feels like to be "sold" and not be given the benefit of a paper past like a legal adoption affords adoptees. Robert Andersen conveys to the reader that the frustration that occurs in a persons life when they are rendered non-existent by illegal adoptions should never happen. We are worth more than that.
Book Description
Calculating Credibility examines--and ultimately rejects--a fundamental belief held by laypeople and the makers of American foreign policy: the notion that backing down during a crisis reduces a country's future credibility. Fear of diminished credibility motivated America's costly participation in the Korean and Vietnam wars, and, since the end of the Cold War, this concern has continued to guide American policy decisions. Daryl G. Press uses historical evidence, including declassified documents, to answer two crucial questions: When a country backs down in a crisis, does its credibility suffer? How do leaders assess their adversaries' credibility? Press illuminates the decision-making processes behind events such as the crises in Europe that preceded World War II, the superpower showdowns over Berlin in the 1950s and 60s, and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
When leaders face the prospect of high-stakes military conflicts, Press shows, they do not assess their adversaries' credibility by peering into their opponents' past and evaluating their history of keeping or breaking commitments. Power and interests in the current crisis--not past actions--determine the credibility of a threat. Press demonstrates that threats are credible only if backed by sufficient power and only if pursuing important interests. Press believes that Washington's obsession with the dangers of backing down has made U.S. foreign policy unnecessarily rigid. In every competitive environment--sports, gambling, warfare--competitors use feints and bluffs to tremendous advantage. Understanding the real sources of credibility, Press asserts, would permit a more flexible, and more effective, foreign policy.

Book Description
The attacks of September 11, 2001, thrust terrorism into the forefront of the world's consciousness, and with modern media's ability to instantaneously spread news of the latest tragedy worldwide, it seems that terrorism has reached unprecedented levels. Although it has increased in recent decades, the threat of terrorism has long been a specter in the lives of millions, and the patterns and occurrences all too regular. The 2001 attacks marked the anniversary of a full century of terrorism—one that began in September of 1901.
This chronology of terrorism begins with President McKinley's assassination in September of 1901, and ends with the September 11, 2001 attacks. It begins by examining the multifaceted meanings of the word, and establishing a working definition. The ensuing chronology details terrorist events both well known and obscure, chosen as representative, decade by decade, of that particular period. A concluding chapter examines changing trends in methods of attack and the effectiveness of various movements. Appendices include a list of notable terrorist organizations; international conventions governing terrorism; and the U.N. Security Council resolution passed after the September 11 attacks.

Book Description
Technology is taking us to a world where myriads of heavily networked devices interact with the physical world in multiple ways and at multiple scales, from the global Internet down to micro and nano devices. Many of these devices are highly mobile and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally unsupervised way.
A fundamental research challenge is the design of robust decentralized computing systems that are capable of operating under changing environments and noisy input, and yet exhibit the desired behavior and response time, under constraints such as energy consumption, size, and processing power.
Biological systems are able to handle many of these challenges with an elegance and efficiency still far beyond current human artifacts. The goal is to obtain methods on how to engineer technical systems, which have similar high stability and efficiency.
With this book, we present a comprehensive overview of the most promising research directions in the area of bio-inspired computing. According to the broad spectrum addressed by the different book chapters, a rich variety of biological principles and their application to ICT systems are presented.
