Divinely Decadent
Stephen Calloway Manufacturer: Mitchell Beazley ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 1840003286 |
Book Description
Lavish, eccentric, opulent, bohemian, theatrical - Divinely Decadent showcases interiors to delight anyone who adores decorative elements. Written with wit by design historian Stephen Calloway, photographed by renowned interiors photographer Deidi von Schaewen, and printed with extravagant 5th-color gold throughout, Divinely Decadent is structured around the theme of the seven deadly sins: from slothful living rooms to bedrooms to lust after, from envious furnishings to collections to covet and materials to arouse the anger of the puritanical. This is the perfect antithesis to worthy but dull neutrals, contemporary good taste, and minimal modern lines- a veritable feast for style-conscious maximalists.Customer Reviews:

You get suggestions such as "Add a Still Lake to Your Landscape", "Paint a Wild Animal", "Capture Animals in Their Natural Habitat", "Paint a Season of the Year" and "Paint an Arrangement of Dried Flowers", etc. etc. etc. I'm not kidding. This is what is passed on as expanding creative boundaries. It is filled to the brim with cliched themes that are supposed to help spark creativity and originality. Some suggestions begin to show promise but there were just too few overall. One of the good things about the book is that at least many of the paintings were beautiful (although boring in my opinion - victims of the cliches they were illustrating).
Which frankly leaves me baffled as to why it was felt to be neccessary to publish this book. Save your change and get books that showcase award winning paintings such as one of the "Best of" books for watercolors, oils, pastels, colored pencil or other media. You'll get plenty of inspired ideas from these type of books and a lot more original ideas for inspiration.

ASIN: 0074710656 |
Book Description
As switched-on sponsors continue to evolve their sponsorship programs, other sponsors are falling behind - not because they are less intelligent, but because their approach and tools have not kept pace with recent big changes in sponsorship. It isn't about awareness or exposure any more. In an era of unprecedented consumer power, sponsorship is the single most potent marketing tool you have to create and foster relationships and relevance with your target markets.The Sponsor's Toolkit and the accompanying CD provides a no-nonsense approach to harnessing the power of sponsorship for your brand. This Toolkit thoroughly covers all aspects of sponsorship, providing you with the tools, techniques, resources, and streetwise advice to make your sponsorships really deliver for all of your stakeholders.
Who will benefit from this book? Anyone involved in achieving corporate marketing objectives, including: brand management, marketing, sponsorship, loyalty marketing, information technology, business development, promotions, trade relations, advertising, business-to-business, public relations, corporate affairs and media.
Anne-Marie Grey and Kim Skildum-Reid met in 1996, when both served on the board of the Australasian Sponsorship Marketing Association. In addition to their own pursuits, they have been working together since then, developing and presenting a series workshops for both sponsors and sponsorship seekers around the world. Their first book, The Sponsorship Seeker's Toolkit, was published in May 1999 to rave reviews and continued strong sales. It is considered by many to be the definitive guide for sponsorship seekers.
Reviews
'This book starts by giving you a sense of your organisation's level of expertise. Then it goes on to provide practical and constructive advice for everyone who should be involved in the process. It is loaded with examples of how you can improve. I have found some of the steps described within the book an invaluable tool to get everyone in the organisation on board with sponsorship and help to realise its potential as a truly effective marketing vehicle.'
Donald McBain, Sponsorship & Communications Director, Lion Nathan Australia
'The Sponsor's Toolkit provides the recommendations, guidelines and key concepts for developing a successful sponsorship program. It is an ideal sourcebook for helping sponsors select and manage sponsorships to achieve their marketing goals.'
Rob Hennin, Regional Director - Brand Management and Marketing Services, Visa International - Asia Pacific
'The results achieved around recent major events have raised the bar for sponsors all over the world. Unfortunately, many sponsors still believe that sponsorship is about signage and hospitality. The Sponsor's Toolkit outlines how sponsors - small or large - can achieve even greater outcomes with creative ideas and lateral thinking.'
Terry Hearity, Sponsorship Manager, Australia Post

The tools and checklists that are included in the book and on the CD-ROM have made changing our approach much easier. They work on all sizes and types of sponsorship. We have even customised some of them for our regional marketing people so that they can do a better job on the smaller sponsorships that they invest in.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in sponsorship.

Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories
Dr. Seuss Manufacturer: Tandem Library ProductGroup: Book Binding: School & Library Binding Similar Items:

Yet more wisdom cast down from high atop Mt. Seuss, this cheerful trio of tales teaches some valuable lessons in humility--thanks to a sharp-eyed worm, a bragging bear and rabbit, a fuzzy-tailed bird, and a couple hundred turtles led by their foolish King Yertle.Yertle's story leads off with his attempt to build a bigger kingdom on the backs of his loyal subjects (literally). King of everything he can see, Yertle orders his turtles to stack up under him to build a towering throne. ("He made each turtle stand on another one's back and he piled them all up in a nine-turtle stack.") But a plain little turtle named Mack--stuck at the bottom--decides he's had enough. ("I know up on top you are seeing great sights, but down on the bottom we, too, should have rights!")
Following Yertle's downfall, a whiny girl-bird named Gertrude McFuzz wishes she had two feathers, just like Miss Lolla-Lee-Lou: "One droopy-droop feather. That's all that she had. And, oh! That one feather made Gertrude so sad." But even when Gertrude gets her wish--and then some--she finds that vanity has its price. Meanwhile, in "The Big Brag," a proud rabbit and an even-prouder bear duke it out in a battle of the senses, arguing over who's the best of the beasts, only to get their clever comeuppance from a wild-eyed little worm. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes

Guide to the Battle of Antietam
Manufacturer: University Press of Kansas ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0700607846 |
Book Description
"America's bloodiest day"--the Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862--left more dead American soldiers in its wake than any other 24-hour period in history. Antietam and the related battles of the Maryland Campaign that led up to the lethal confrontation did not result in decisive defeats for either side. But they did serve as a brutal warning to an out-gunned, out-commanded, and out-organized Union army.Eyewitness accounts by battle participants make these guides an invaluable resource for travelers and nontravelers who want a greater understanding of five of the most devastating yet influential years in our nation's history. Explicit directions to points of interest and maps--illustrating the action and showing the detail of troop position, roads, rivers, elevations, and tree lines as they were 130 years ago--help bring the battles to life. In the field, these guides can be used to recreate each battle's setting and proportions, giving the reader a sense of the tension and fear each soldier must have felt as he faced his enemy.
This book is part of the U.S. Army War College Guides to Civil War Battles series.

Luvas' book on Antietam Battlefield.......2001-09-03
Another thing missing is a comprehensive map of the battlefield with his selected stops, again helping show the context of a given part of the battle with the whole.
Off the Beaten path - Antietam National Battlefield.......2000-01-29
Unlike the Gettysburg guide this book outlines the campaign on an "operational" as well as "tactical" level. Both of which are easy to understand and follow along if you desire to use this book as a battlefield guide.
The driving directions along with detailed maps, historical photos, and reports taken from the Official Records make this book a complete tour and reference package!
If you require an outstanding volume of work detailing nearly every aspect of the campaign, then look no further. I highly recommend this book as "must read" for anyone interested in Marse Robert's Maryland Campaign of 1862. It will also make an excellent reference tool for anyone who cannot make it to the battlefield. It brings the fields of battle to you!

The U.S. Army War College Guide to the Battle of Antietam: The Maryland Campaign of 1862

Customer Reviews:
Excellent Guide to the 1862 Maryland Campaign!.......2004-07-05
Each chapter contains the following information:
1. Detailed driving direction for reaching the site.
2. A description of what happened at the site.
3. An account of the action by an acutal participant.
4. Map(s) of troop dispositions at the site during the campaign.
I have referred to the book during some of my several visits to the Antietam Battlefield and have thoroughly enjoyed each tour! A detailed order of battle and other pertinent information is included in the book.
The only complaint I really have is that the maps could have been more detailed and numerous. Complaint aside, I highly recommended the book as a valuable guide to the actions in September 1862.
Read and enjoy!
