Book Description

Introducing tile and stone into the home gives designers and homeowners an artistic medium like no other. Reclaimed, antique terra-cotta tile can transform a high-rise city kitchen into a French countryside retreat. Italian mosaic tiles hand-assembled in geometric borders and colorful murals can turn an ordinary bathroom into an oasis of luxury.

Through beautiful photography and illustrative text, installations for every room in the house-kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and more-are presented. Renowned designers and tile manufacturers from around the world share their exquisite creations.

In this high-tech world, tile, stone, and mosaics can fulfill our innate desire for tactile design. With these materials, we can create homes that are sensual places where the feel of cool stone beneath bare feet is as important as its deep, rich color or how the sunshine illuminates it.

For interior designers, homeowners, and apartment dwellers, this book is an essential guide to using tile and stone to decorate. It will surely inspire.

Book Description

The jargon of color theory and the unpredictability of mixing manufactured colors prevent many artists from using color to maximum advantage in their work. This comprehensive survey of color -its science, psychology, theory, and aesthetics-gives artists the knowledge and power to do more with color. Artists learn what color is; the color wheel; various types of color contrast (temperature, intensity, and value); how a medium's physical characteristics affect the use and appearance of color; how color has been used by artists throughout history; and how color can be used effectively in a variety of theories, methods of applications, and mediums. This is an invaluable resource for artists who want to expand their knowledge about and invigorate their use of color.

I thought when I bought this book, it would provide more than the usual insight into understanding color. It is just another book on color concepts. If you need a book like this, it might be worth obtaining. Try to review a copy before buying it.

Book Description

This big trade paperback collects the eight Amaze Ink issues of REPLACEMENT GOD. Series creator Zander Cannon garnered a Harvey Award nomination for his work on this series, before going on to win an Eisner along with Alan Moore and Gene Ha for Top Ten. Many of these issues are out of print, and this collection is the best introduction to Zander's work. It will especially appeal to fans of fantasy books and good old-fashioned adventure tales.

A non-fantasy, fantasy graphic novel........1999-01-19

The Replacement God, by Sander Cannon, is the beginning of an epic race to replace the god of death. Yes, Death has died--as all the gods do in Zander's tale--and the quest to find the replacement god begin. Will it be prophicized boy, Knute? Or will the power hungry King Ursus elivate himself into godhood to keep his reign ongoing for another thousand years? Or, will the beatnik visgoths throw a monkey wrench in the entire scheme of things? The Replacement God is an excellent read and despite it's fantasy elements, readers who typically do not like knights, castles, etc., won't notice the setting at all.

"I have many anecdotes to tell you--my life is a series of anecdotes," Rebecca West exclaimed in 1925, "all of which seem to me in the worst possible taste!" This teasing valediction is only one of the thousandfold pleasures within Selected Letters of Rebecca West. Bonnie Kime Scott has chosen over 200 sparkling, combative, and committed pieces of correspondence, and the result makes one wonder how she could bear to leave the other 9,800 or so out. West (1892-1983) gave us some of the 20th century's greatest fiction and nonfiction, and her letters are equally artful. Scholars will be drawn in by her historical acuity, while others will seize on West's sharp reportage and (of lesser import but equal joy) gossip. This "novelist-newshen" never seems to have been off duty, and bon mots abound. She dubbed George Bernard Shaw "a eunuch perpetually inflamed by flirtation," and found Queen Elizabeth's tragedy the fact that "the poor child spends her life asking questions which people answer!" In a 1960 letter, alas quoted only in a footnote, West offered Oscar Wilde's son the definitive word on his progenitor's fate: "What your father did to little boys is not so criminal as what little boys did to your father's prose."

West's letters also provide a melancholy picture of her personal life. As early as 1913, she told her lover H.G. Wells, "I always knew that you would hurt me to death some day, but I hoped to choose the time and place." Their son, Anthony West, proved an equally long-term torment, as he alternated between private complaints and public attacks. Though the constraints of career, motherhood, and Wells would have crippled a lesser being, West displayed remarkable fortitude and surprising modesty. She was ever ready to defend herself, debating such heavy hitters as Arthur Schlesinger and Lionel Trilling. Yet she refused to engage in self-promotion, and seldom even referred to her own work until it was a fait accompli. (A comical exception to the rule would be the author's fantasia about her novel The Judge: "Thomas Hardy makes his wife read it to him over and over again, it being the only book ever written as gloomy as his own. His wife told me this in accents of incredible bitterness.")

As she grew older, Rebecca West came to feel that society and even intellectuals perpetuated a climate of lies, treachery, and triviality, which she felt obliged to combat. How effective a battle this was is anybody's guess. Still, her letters afford us the whole woman--vital, passionate, and even, from time to time, mortifying. "Yours wildly," she signed one. Who would have her otherwise? --Kerry Fried

Book Description

Dame West was a prolific correspondent, in the course of which she set down her frequently scathing assessments of the literary movements, political events and prominent figures of her day. The range of topics addressed in the letters is astounding: literary figures (including Shaw, Wells, Ford Madox Ford, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, Woolf, D.H. Lawrence - as well as lesser known women writers, including Emma Goldman and Dorothy Thompson), historical events (both world wars, America in the Roaring Twenties, cold war espionage and lynching trials) and political movements (Fabian socialism, woman suffrage, communism, fascism and apartheid). West emerges from all of this as an extremely witty and brilliant commentator - but also infuriatingly arrogant, distrustful and, on occasions, racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic. As Professor Scott rightly states in her introduction to the volume, "to read [West's] letters in an informed way is to receive an education in the culture of the twentieth century."

editing updates.......2000-04-12

since my last review, I have written to Bonnie Scott and she has contacted the publishers to correct errors. So it's getting better.

questionable attention to detail in the preface.......2000-04-10

Rebecca lived through a lot of interesting things and knew interesting people, so if you're looking to read her letters, this is probably a pretty good collection of nicely typed out copies of them. I would disregard the preface since the editor, Bonnie Scott, has obviously not spent the time on attention to details and solid background information. If you want to read about Rebecca, I would recommend "Rebecca West: a saga of the century" by Carl Rollyson, who spent many hours at our home talking with my father and getting all his facts right over a long period of research.

Book Description

Going home, my heart is racing, my mind flooded with memories of family and homeland. So many years have passed. Through the lens of GodÂ's camera, I see my precious father, in all his glory as he made life on that forty-acre farm in the forties and fifties a daily adventure, with his many tales and yarns. Dad was a good storyteller. I listened well, and God preserved the memories Â'til my retirement, and I had the time to record the lifestyle of the true hillbillies that came from Ireland through the Cumberland Gap into Tennessee. You will laugh, sometimes cry, but mostly you will love knowing this wonderful family, as you go back with me in a time lost in history. I hope in some small way to let the younger generation know about an American way of life that helped to make this country the greatest country on earth.

This collection provides a comprehensive study of Jews in the classical world. Articles examine the city of Jerusalem and other Jewish communities of the Mediterranean diaspora, as reflected in the writings of Luke, Josephus and Philo. Topics covered include social identity, everyday life and religious practice.

Book Description

While mastery of these equations is essential, adhering to any one method of solving them is not. This book stresses alternative examples and analyses by means of which students can understand a number of approaches to finding solutions and understanding their behavior. This book offers not only an applied perspective for the student learning to solve differential equations, but also the challenge to apply these analytical tools in the context of singular perturbations, which arises in many areas of application.

Customer Reviews:

How Could This Have Been Published by Oxford Univ Press?.......2003-09-03

This book is a real stinker. It is hard to read, leaves out critical information as it jumps from topic to topic and assumes the reader already has a lot of background. DEs are an important and interesting subject, but the reader won't think so from reading this book. Best use of this book is to shim up a table with uneven legs.

DO NOT USE THIS BOOK.......2000-04-15

This text assumes more familiarity with functions and calculus than most students will have. There are not enough explanations given; no theorems are mentioned or proven. Exercises are lengthy, incredibly complicated, and often do not include enough of an explanation of the symbolism used, and frequently there are errors in the problem structure, e.g. equations have incorrectly written coefficients or information is missing. The text jumps from idea to idea without much explanation, and is too burdensome to read. There are far better ways to explore differential equations than can be attained from this book

save your money!.......1999-11-01

compare to the author's previous offerings on similar topic, this one is a BIG BIG BOMB! it lacks structure and decent explanation. if this is used in classroom, your students will avoid thinking about ODE's for the rest of their life! it is a shame that this book is from prof. O'Malley who used to know what is going on. O well, I guess when someone is retiring, he no longer gives a damn...

Save your students, do not choose this book........1999-10-16

This is a typical book written by mathematician who know his field very well, but cannot express his knowledge in good way. If you already know things represented in this book it might look clear, but if you are still learning differential equations this doesn't tell you anything. Book lacks necessary definitions (ie. what is Green's function that is mentioned many times in book?) as well as good examples. Also things in book haven't structured any way. And as all poor textbooks, half of pages are filled with excercises without right answers. Damn, I don't want to spend my money to additional problems, I want knowledge how to solve them!
