Book Description
This book offers a comprehensive account of the architecture of Florence, setting the city's extraordinarily beautiful buildings within the political, economic, and cultural contexts in which they were made. The rapid expansion of its banking interests and its wool and textile industries brought Florence prosperity, and it became, under Medici power, the heart of the European Renaissance, and the sponsor of pivotal architectural works.
Stretching from the city's foundation by Julius Caesar in 59 BC to modern times, the text takes a thematic approach. It begins with a historical overview, then moves on to look at buildings associated with the powers of Church and State, followed by the practicalities of building and the main architectural types, ending with modern developments. Buildings covered range from the Duomo, with Brunelleschi's prodigious cupola, and the sprawling grandeur of the Palazzo Pitti, to neighbourhood churches and elegant lesser known piazzas. Landmark modernist buildings include those by architect Pier Luigi Nervi.
The extraordinary visual wealth of the city is reflected in specially commissioned photography, while original plans and paintings by Florentine masters emphasize the historical context. In addition to a glossary of Italian terms and biographical notes on major figures, the book includes a foldout map with a key to the buildings discussed.

Concise and complete.......2007-05-29
While spending a week in Florence in April, visiting many museums that do not allow interior photographs, I noticed this book in a museum gift shop. I copied the ISBN and purchased from Amazon once I arrived home so I could avoid carting books home and getting a very good price from Amazon. The book is beautiful and provided insight into a city that has evolved over many centuries.

Capture a Perspective!.......2000-08-13
This is the first book I've read by David Cook. He reminds me of another great illustrator. Frank J. Lohan whose books taught many new and professional artists tips and techniques for rendering any person, place or thing.
I've added this to my growing collection of Drawing and Sketching the people and objects around us. I recommend it to anyone learning how to see and render buildings, any architectural marvel around our world or in our hometown.
He sharres step-by-step instructions for drawing and building construction.
David Cook makes it easy to create single and multi-point perspectives. You'll discover a range of useful techniques and textures.
This is the perfect book to jump start your artistic skills without feeling like your just a draftsman. He sure helped my own budding drawing talent.

Customer Reviews:
Definitely overpriced..........2007-08-29
This book looks like a do-it-yourself publication. Certainly not worth this price. Anything by Freeman Patterson would be a better choice, both for content and value for the money.
Stinks.......2007-04-03
Lousy presentation, what more can be said? There are far better books on compositiion than this one.
An Incredible Journey with a Master Photographer.......2007-03-17
This book contains essential information having been written by an incredible Master Photographer. An absolute must read for both the novice and experienced photographer as Klaus Bohn is the very best educator on this subject. Hopefully this will be the first of many books written by Mr. Bohn as I want more for my own library. I am drawn to his warm personal style evident in both his written work and in the amazing photographs he has taken. Highly Recommended!!
Poorly written and over priced.......2007-03-12
I expected a useful treatise by a respected photographer. Instead, I received a book that is so poorly written it appears it had no editor, with illustrative photographs so poorly reproduced it is hard to appreciate what they are demonstrating. Save your money and look elsewhere for help.

Good comprehensive text for brodcast scriptwriting.......2000-09-02
There are many good texts in newswriting out there, but few which are as comprehensive in all areas of media as this one. I teach a course in broadcast scriptwriting at a community college with the intention of trying to cover as many different formats as possible, e.g., newswriting, commercials, talk-interview, documentary, dramatic narrative, informational, etc. for both radio,TV and film. This text covers all of these and offers both solid theoretical background as well as plenty of real world examples. I do recommend substituting the dramatic narrative chapter with a specialized text for screenplay writing, but it covers the basics. My only real complaint is that it is starting to get a bit out of date. But it is still the best I've come across and better than the Robert Hilliard text, in my opinion.

Buying a home is probably the single most important investment people ever make. But once you understand the process, much of the fear will vanish. And the joy of owning your own home and putting down roots offers security and satisfaction.
Stephen Pollan walks first-time buyers through the whole process, from house hunting to moving day. He has seen the whole picture as a lawyer, broker, banker, and financial adviser. He, Mark Levine, and Michael Pollan show you how to:

make sure your team serves you, not just the deal itself
use the tactics of negotiating, including offers, increments, what to say, and when and where to say it
examine the contract in detail--what to look for and what to insist on
choose the right bank for your mortgage, straighten out credit difficulties and potential objections
prepare, practice, and plan for the "mysterious ritual" of closing or settling on a house.

Customer Reviews:
The map of the 13 colonies IS accurate.......2005-12-18
A reviewer below didn't like the map of the 13 colonies in the book, but this map IS accurate because the colonies considered their western borders to extend all the way to the Mississippi River. This made the colonies look long and thin when you mapped them out. This was also a "bone of contention" after the end of the French and Indian War because the British didn't want colonial settlers going beyong the Alleghenies into Indian territory and rattling more Indian ire. Thus, I think this book is fascinating because it's a subject that hasn't been "done to death." Granted, the illustrations are old etchings, but that makes them "authentic" to the times (though anybody would love to see paintings by Peale, Trumbull, etc., but those weren't the subjects of their paintings!)
Broader research would have made a better book........2005-11-15
This fairly recent work (2002) contains a lot of detailed information about the subject and time period stated in the title - the Revolutionary War era. More specifically, it deals primarily with the violent conflicts between the Native Americans, encouraged in many cases by the British government, and the early white settlers moving into what is now the state of Kentucky. This area was, of course, still a part of Virginia at the time. It is obvious one or both of the authors have done a lot of research into this specific area and time period.
Although the authors know a lot about early Kentucky settlers and events, it is regrettable they did not exhibit a wider knowledge and understanding of the areas and ethnic groups from which these early settlers came. A bias against unnamed historians, whose views they criticize on a number of points, is exhibited repeatedly. Perhaps if they had broadened their research, or at least read more works by more recent, objective historians, their own work may have been more accurate.
Specifically, they appear to have a deep-seated bias against the people they call the "Scotch-Irish", a group they obviously feel was greatly overrated. It is true that their relative numbers along the frontier, as well as their qualities of character and 'greatness' were exaggerated by some early historians and essayists, especially. These writers, the authors correctly note, often included descendents of this very group.
It would be nice if the authors had attempted to provide a more accurate, balanced view of the Ulster Scots, a term most modern historians agree is more useful and accurate. Instead, the authors include a number of references to this group, all negative, and of varying degrees of accuracy. One example is the remark (in the Endnotes, near the back of the book) regarding the commander of the 'Tory' forces at the 1780 Battle of Kings Mountain: "Ferguson was also said to be Scotch-Irish". A little research would have revealed that Patrick Ferguson was born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland; neither he nor his family ever lived in Northern Ireland - from where the "Scotch-Irish" came. Another example: "fourteenth century Tudor kings encouraged Presbyterian Scots to settle in Ulster". This is very interesting, considering the fact that there were no Presbyterians in the fourteenth century!
It is true that the majority of Ulster Scots who came to North America during the 1700's were Presbyterians at the time. In attempting to minimize the numbers of "Scotch-Irish" along the frontier, the book makes the rather ridiculous assertion that in 1774 there was only one Presbyterian church in Virginia. One may contrast that statement with two sentences from Gaustad's Historical Atlas of Religion in America (Harper& Row,1962) "Prior to the Revolution there were at least 30 Presbyterian churches in the Virginia back country- - . In the single year 1774, 18 were established". (!)
At no time is a distinction made between Ulster Scots, Lowland Scots, or Highlanders; all are considered "Scotch-Irish. This is about as accurate and informative as trying to describe present day (2005) Iraq without mentioning Shiites, Sunnis, or Kurds; and instead calling everyone Iraquis (or insurgents).
Again: I feel the book has value for its detailed recounting of the area's events from 1775 - 1786. That said, however, less bias and defensiveness would be nice, and I do have a problem with any work containing numerous unsupported statements that are debatable, misleading, or just plain wrong.
LOOK ELSEWHERE.......2003-06-01
This could have been an important book about greater Virginia's westward expansion during the Revolutionary Era, a place and time with lots of information inaccessible to most general readers and historians. Instead, the authors present a hodgepodge of bad history, narrow research, and distracting bias.
The "history" in the book is dismal, replete with errors, exaggerations, and bias. The errors started early with a wildly inaccurate map labeled "The thirteen colonies, 1776" (xiii); only coastal Delaware, New Jersey, and Rhode Island could be considered accurately drawn for that time. And the errors continued to the closing pages, where the authors mistakenly date the last native American/Indian uprising east of the Mississippi as 1814 (228), thus omitting the three Seminole Indian Wars (1817-18, 1835-42, 1855-58), among other conflicts.
Possibly, the book's problems stem from inadequate research. The authors make some unusual claims and attribute lots of quotes without citation. The bibliography is both dated and slim. It has very few unpublished primary sources, which means readers probably will find very little they haven't already known about. There is only one article from an academic journal and there are no dissertations, despite that one author is a university professor. Further, there are some obvious missing sources, like Fischer & Kelly's Bound Away: Virginia and The Westward Movement. This widely reviewed book covers much of the same ground and was published two years before Virginia's Western War. As a consequence of scanty research, readers lose one of the traditional benefits of "local" histories: new sources for their own research.
One widespread problem with the book warrants special notice. The bias is incredible. The triumphalist version of Virginia's role in our country's founding is breathtaking. Except for Virginia, the new United States probably would have been limited to only east of the Appalachian Mountains. And, although many new states ceded territory to the new federal government, the authors considered Virginia's claim legitimate, but New York's claim "illegal" and land claims by Connecticut and Massachusetts are not even mentioned
Another illustration of bias is the authors' labeling. African Americans/Blacks are identified only as "Negro" (e.g., 63, 69, 72, 106, 184), which I don't think I've read before in a book published after 1975. The authors usually use "Indian," though occasionally they use "squaw" (69, 202) and "savage" (184). Similarly, Loyalists are named "Tories" or "turncoats" (xxxv), and Scots are called "Scotch" (xxxv, 66). All of these labels are antiquated. Even more, they imply an incredible bias. But the authors explicate their bias with statements like "the majority [of slaves] remained loyal to their masters" (xxxviii) which supposes slaves had a choice and freedom of movement. And throughout the book, battle atrocities by Indians are detailed while atrocities by whites are hardly mentioned.
By the way, bias is not about political correctness, it's about the lack of objectivity and balanced story telling. Even more, here, the use of antiquated labels suggests that the authors are, at best, unfamiliar with books written after the 1970s-and that shortchanges all readers.
All in all, readers interested in the Revolution, westward migration, pioneering, and/or Virginia and Kentucky history should look elsewhere.
Suffers from poor editing, defensiveness.......2003-03-12
Why would the authors of this book, in their preface, write: "Some may feel we used too much minutiae, but details make true stories interesting." Very defensive, a preemptive strike against potential critics that ought to warm readers up front that what one is about to get is a chronicle of events rather than interpretive history. Why else complain, as the author's do, that previous studies of this ilk focus too much on class, or politics?
The "Introduction" to this book is hardly that--it is a chapter, and should have been designated as such. It is not an intro in the traditional sense of providing a brief synopsys of what we're about to read. I blame the editor for this, as he/she ought to have corrected this error.
The illustrations chose are in some cases, well, not really appropriate for an adult book. See pgs 112, 57 and esp. page 131 for examples. Several of the maps or graphs really do not explain much and should have been interpretated, e.g. pg xxiii.
For those wanting to read about the trans-Appalachian settlement in the mid to late 18th century, they will find much to like here, but this is certainly not a scholarly study or the last word. The fact that 2 of Allen Eckert's books appear in the bibliog ought to alert the scholar to this.....
History of the Revolutionary War in the West.......2003-02-04
Contrary to popular belief, the Revolutionary War was not fought all on the East coast. Some of the hardest fought and bloodiest battles were in the western country, territory that would one day become Kentucky, West Virginia, and Ohio, but during the Revolution were considered part of Virginia.
"Virginia's Western War 1775-1786" tells the history of these interesting and important events. Beginning with the settlement of Kentucky by Daniel Boone, Richard Henderson, James Herrod, and company, the western frontier is soon engulfed in fire and blood as the Indians, opposed to white expansion into their lands and supported by their British allies who hope to attack the rebellious colonies on their vulnerable western border, launch a massive campaign to destroy the settlements. With action at Wheeling, Boonesboro, and Harrodstown, the western frontiersmen are forced to esentially fend for themselves against the hostile tribes and British rangers as the Continental forces back east cannot afford to spare money or troops to defend them. In 1778 Virginia launches a campaign led by Gen. George Rogers Clark to reduce the British posts on the Mississippi and Wabash Rivers, which ultimately, following his extraordinary victory at Vincennes, succeeds in winning virtually the entire Northwest Territory for the Americans. Despite these victories, Indian depredations would continue in this region until 1786, followed by the retaliatory strikes by expeditions under Clark, John Bowman, and Benjamin Logan, thus earning the region's macabre name of "that dark and bloody ground".
Despite the Treaty of Paris in 1783, the Revolution never truly ended in the west, with Indians continuing to fight the Virginians over the Ohio country into the 1790s. This book helps to shed some light on a little-known but fascinating aspect of the war that is too often overlooked.

Good Information to Better Understand Your Feathered Friends.......2003-02-08
The Stokes Guides to Bird Behavior are great little references for backyard bird-watching. You may have to wander a little further than your backyard to observe some of these species, but the birds in your neighborhood are probably in one of the three Stokes volumes. Each Stokes Guide to Bird Behavior features 25 common North American bird species. For each species, the authors explain visual displays, auditory displays, territory courtship, nest-building, breeding, plumage and seasonal movement, and provide a calendar so that you can clearly see when these behaviors occur. I wouldn't take any generalizations about bird behavior too seriously because many birds are very individual, and their behaviors and social customs vary accordingly. But these books will give you a good basis for understanding and predicting the behavior of your avian neighbors. You'll enjoy watching your little feathered friends all the more with the added understanding the Stokes Guides provide.
My one complaint about these books is that the bird species are not in any particular order, and neither are they indexed. If you look at the table of contents you will see that the species are not in alphabetical or any other order, and there is no sense to which birds are in which volume or where they are placed in the book. In other words, you have to read through the entire list of 25 species in the table of contents, in each book, to locate the species you want. I have no explanation for this, and I made an index for the books myself to save me from the frustration involved every time I want to look up a species. That is the reason I gave the book(s) 4 stars instead of 5.
In Volume Two: Killdeer, Spotted Sandpiper, Mourning Dove, Belted Kingfisher, Downey Woodpecker, Eastern Phoebe, Eastern Wood Pewee, Barn Swallow, Tufted Titmouse, White-Breasted Nuthatch, Marsh Wren, Brown Thrasher, Wood Thrush, Cedar Waxwing, Yellow Warbler, Eastern Meadowlark, Brown-Headed Cowbird, Northern Oriole, Scarlet Tanager, Northern Cardinal, Rose-Breasted Grosbeak, Indigo Bunting, Rufous-Sided Towhee, Chipping Sparrow, and Field Sparrow.
Detailed behavior information on 25 common birds........1999-04-22
The Stokes have produced a book describing the behavior of 25 birds. The catagories of information include: visual displays, auditory displays, territory, courtship, nest-building, breeding, plumage, seasonal movement, and behavior at the bird feeder. The 25 birds covered in this book include: Killdeer, Spotted Sandpiper, Mourning dove, Belted Kingfisher, Downy Woodpecker, Eastern Phoebe, Eastern Wood Pewee, Barn Swallow, Tufted Titmouse, White-brested Nuthatch, Marsh Wren, Cedar Waxwing, Yellow Warbler, Eastern Meadowlark, Brown-headed Cowbird, Northern Oriole, Scarlet Tanager, Northern Cardinal, Rose-brested Grosbeak, Indigo Bunting, Rufous-sided Twohee, Chipping Sparrow, and Field Sparrow. This is not a bird identification book and the illustrations are not in color. Bird Behavior is a facinating book about why birds do the things they do. Donald and Lillian Stokes have provided a new way to look at birds.
