Book Description

The recent works of the acclaimed Swiss architect are presented in this monograph on his world-renowned work and previously unpublished plans.

Mario Botta's buildings are characterized by simple, geometric shapes that juxtapose lightness and weight. This richly illustrated monograph examines Botta's most recent examples of this theme, as seen in the Kyobo Tower in Seoul, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Jean Tinguely Museum in Basel, and the Cymbalista Synagogue in Tel Aviv. Hundreds of photographs, sketches, and plans illustrate the architect's desire to create structures that adhere to and complement their locations, and show how his choice of materials emphasizes craftsmanship and geometric order. Botta's finished buildings are examined alongside plans which never saw completion, demonstrating the extraordinary creative process of this modern visionary.

5 out of 5 stars A handsome monograph documenting his most recent project in the past decade.......2005-12-23

Prestel's new monograph of renowned Swiss architect Mario Botta is aptly titled "Light and Gravity" and it is a collection of his select projects from 1993-2003. The title of this book refers to a recurring theme in his architecture where he designs volumes with compressive elements in masonry yet punctuates them skillfully so that light enters these volumes causing them to balance themselves out. This theme has been his signature theme for over the thirty years he has been in practice and is still timelessly beautiful today as it was back then. This monograph features some of his largest built projects such as the Kyobo Tower in Seoul, Korea as well as the simpler Central Bus Terminal in Lugano, Switzerland. Each projects are documented with well framed photos, project description and a composition of pencil sketches that capture the preliminary design phase. Over the thirty plus years he's been in practice. his strict modernist approach is still evident and despite the different masonry cladding he incorporates, it is still relevant to his theme of light and gravity.

Book Description

The irrepressible nature of children makes them charming subjects for paintings, as well as a real challenge to actually paint. In this book, suitable for artists working in all of the most popular mediums, Jessica Zemsky shares the lessons she's learned in her many years of painting children, including: * Nine step-by-step demonstrations that illustrate her personal techniques * Special guidelines for portraying children being themselves--at play, with siblings or pets--rather than in formal portraits * Advice for everything from finding natural poses to rendering the varied textures of children's skin and hair * Tips for working in watercolor, acrylic, gouache, oil and pastel * Plus delightful anecdotes and firsthand lessons

5 out of 5 stars Great Information!.......2001-04-19

Although the cover of this book didn't excite me, the artwork and information inside certainly did. Jessica Zemsky focusses mainly on gouache paintings, but also has a sufficient sample of watercolor, pencil, oil, and pastel work. I especially love the poses she uses for the children's portraits. They are full of life and much different from the traditional "posed" look. The book is full of great ideas, from the expressive color of her gouache and oil painting to the sensitivity and softness of her pencil and pastel work. She includes color recipes for mixing various colors, using combinations you would not normally think of. This is a wonderfully inspirational book for those wishing to paint children.

The Library of Congress is the largest library on earth, with more than 111 million items. Eyes of the Nation's nearly 400 lavishly illustrated pages take the reader into the vaults of the library to see such priceless relics as Thomas Jefferson's draft for the Declaration of Independence, James Madison's handwritten "Notes on Debates on the Bill of Rights," and Abraham Lincoln's manuscript of the Emancipation Proclamation. And not only the obvious artifacts of American history are featured. Also included are maps so old that cartographers drew sea serpents cavorting in the ocean waves, a galley of Leaves of Grass with Walt Whitman's handwritten corrections, and a poster advertising the Grateful Dead at San Francisco's Avalon Ballroom.

Besides the abundant and well-captioned illustrations, each chapter is introduced by an essay by historian Alan Brinkley, a professor at Columbia and winner of the National Book Award. Brinkley's text could stand alone as a solid, balanced overview of American history. It also adds essential structure and context to the book's parade of images. Eyes of the Nation is a rare combination of ravishing visuals with substantive, carefully conceived text and structure. For anyone interested in the vast American experience, it's nearly impossible to open its pages without being drawn in.

Book Description

A magnificent one volume pictorial and narrative history of the United States with more than five hundred exceptional illustrations, many reproduced here for the first time.

5 out of 5 stars 2005 Writers Notes Book Award First Runner-Up.......2005-04-20

Visiting the Library of Congress is like entering the vaults of the Smithsonian-fascinating, intelligent, and unavoidably eclectic. Such is the case with Eyes of the Nation, which calls upon the Library of Congress' print collection to reveal America from Columbus to the near present. Among the scores of important papers, maps, and photos, you'll find pictures of an unfinished Capitol Rotunda during Lincoln's inauguration, Oppenheimer's notes on nuclear reactions, and the real faces of Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, not to mention his actual manuscript pages. Historian Alan Brinkley binds the collection with poignant direction, making it as much a reference text as a work of art.

4 out of 5 stars Fresh and intense look at who we were and are.......2004-12-27

This is a fascinating and valuable look at the United States presented with a number of rarely seemed photographs. You will learn something here even if you think you know the whole story of our nation's 200+ years. The only caveats are a few photos which, while presenting some of the true (and unfortunate) incidents of our history, may be too graphic for children (and some adults!) Overall a fine volume worthy of any library.

5 out of 5 stars An heirloom for every American.......1999-05-28

As the Library of Congress marks our country's history as the U.S.'s continual time capsule; this tome offers a glance into her walls. Beautifully assembled, this keepsake will instill pride in its citizenry. Making selections from myriad possibilities must have been a dire undertaking, but those represented indicate a fair cross-section of time and geography. An excellent tribute to a worthy source!

          Book Description

          With numerous cogent examples from real estate markets worldwide, Dr. Hines makes it clear that investing in foreign real estate is by no means the same as investing domestically. She shows how, why, and when special strategies must be devised to enter the world market; conveys essential information on global investment opportunities; outlines career opportunities and advancement strategies in international investment; and provides insights into international business in the context of global real estate investing. Her focus on industrial, commercial, and residential real estate reflects both the major investment interests of world-class investment professionals and the diversity of real estate market conditions. Her book is thus an essential resource for professional real estate investors, teachers, and their graduate-level students. Dr. Hines focuses on the general investment strategies that successful and profitable international real estate investors have devised over many years and now follow assiduously. Readers gain knowledge of direct investment in industrial, commercial, and residential real estate and through the purchase of securities, such as real estate investment trusts and mortgage backed issues. After discussing basic international real estate differences and general acquisition strategies, the book moves to functional strategies, such as valuation, land development, construction, financing, and tax strategies. Dr. Hines concludes with a coverage of housing and shopping centers, office buildings, and industrial property investment--all of which allow readers to observe the differences among functional areas and then tie them to the differences among investments in various types of properties. Her book covers Western, Eastern, and Central Europe; East, Southeast Central, and South Asia; Africa in general, and Morocco in Northwest Africa in particular; plus the Middle East and North and South America.

                From the supplier: Canadians who own vacation homes in the US need to be informed about US taxes on decedents' estates. The estate tax has no marital deduction provision if the survivor is a foreigner, unless the property goes to a qualified domestic trust. Estates of nonresident aliens are liable for the same real property tax as US citizens or residents. Foreigners also get a much lower estate tax credit than US citizens.

                        Book Description

                        Why is my baby crying? Why isn't my baby a good sleeper? Is my baby colicky? Is something bothering my baby? What can I do to help soothe my baby?

                        In this warm, reassuring book, baby expert and author Sandy Jones answers parents' many questions and helps them identify the source of their baby's suffering. With the use of many tables and illustrations, she also helps identify the many reasons why your baby is crying and how to deal with each one in a simple and effective way.

                        She explores many commonly held beliefs, such as the notion that your baby will never learn to sleep alone if you let him sleep in your bed, as well as the philosophy that parents shouldn't spoil a baby by responding to her every cry. She also explains the science behind baby sleep, so that you can better understand and adapt to your own baby's sleeping pattern.

                        Written with empathy for parent and child alike, Comforting Your Crying Baby is an essential book for any new parent who wants to learn why your baby is crying and how best to comfort and care for their baby.

                            Book Description

                            This exciting new volume presents every ship in which Nelson served, in full detail, for the first time. Following a comprehensive background of each vessel, including the actions in which it participated, each ship's construction details and costs will be explored alongside any modifications that were made. The incidents that occurred while Nelson was on board each ship reveal an abridged version of his career and offer both the enthusiast and general reader an insight into the man himself. Fully researched and developed by one of the most well-known and respected Nelson historians, and heavily illustrated in part by Geoff Hunt, jacket artist for the popular Patrick O'Brien series, this will be an invaluable work for both the academic and enthusiast alike.

                            5 out of 5 stars Detailed Insight Into the 18th Century Royal Navy.......2007-08-20

                            This is an outstanding work on the life and times of the Royal Navy in Nelson's time. The technical aspects of each ship as well as the lives of the men that served on these ships is covered in minute detail giving the naval history enthusiast a valuable reference work. Of particular interest is the fate of each ship, something that is relatively unknown in most works of a similar nature. Of particular interest is the detailed records kept at the time and the fact that they have survived to the present day thus giving the ordinary sailor a name and a place in history even if it was for breaking the rules.

                            5 out of 5 stars Excellent job Mr Goodwin.......2004-04-17

                            This is my favourite book on the ships of the age of sail not only because of its great artwork but also because of the explanations that even simpletons like me can understand. I love this book and you will too.

                            5 out of 5 stars A marvelous nautical history reference book.......2003-01-12

                            I gave this book 5 stars because Amazon doesn't have a 6-star rating. "Nelson's Ships: A History of the Vessels In Which He Served, 1771-1805" is a strong contender for the top spot on my list of favorite nautical history reference books, and on my bookshelves stands a goodly number of competitors. Peter Goodwin, the Keep and Curator of HMS Visitor - surely a dream job for any Age of Fighting Sail enthusiast - has written several other naval history reference books. His "The Construction and Fitting of the English Man of War, 1650-1850" is a minutely detailed study of just how these marvels of contemporary technology were built. His contributions to the "Anatomy of the Ship" series seemingly make note of every timber, trennal, and bolt used to construct the vessels described. With "Nelson's Ships" I expected something of the same, a close study of Nelson's various vessels as physical artifacts, complex objects built of wood and iron and copper, rigged out with rope and sailcloth. But Peter Goodwin's new book is far, far more than that. In examining the vessels in which Nelson served, Goodwin has produced a remarkably comprehensive look at the Royal Navy itself during Nelson's era.

                            Twenty-five vessels ranging in size from the little armed brig Badger, Nelson's first command, to the huge first-rates HMS Victory and the captured Spanish ship-of-the-line San Josef are each awarded a lengthy chapter in Goodwin's book. Deck and hull plans are usually presented, along with enough illustrations so that the vessel described becomes real in the reader's eye. But, Goodwin's scope extends far beyond the physical fabric of these vessels. A history of each is presented from launch to ultimate fate, not only confined to the period when Nelson was aboard as midshipman, junior officer, captain, or admiral. Every commanding officer throughout a vessel's service is listed, usually together with the refit history of the ship, showing the frequent repairs and rebuilds which were an integral part of any wooden vessel's existence. Goodwin has drawn from the ships' logbooks a wealth of detail about life aboard each ship, experiences during battles and during peacetime. Punishment lists show, for example, that aboard Victory on August 4, 1804, John Brown, John Hind, Simon Moon, William Cobourne, and Edward Flynn received between 13 and 36 lashes for drunkenness, while John Wells got 48 for disobedience of orders and neglect of duty. We learn that on September 14, 1778, HMS Janus expended one puncheon and one hogshead of beer (or 126 gallons). We find that, among other things, HMS Vanguard received aboard on Thursday, August 4, 1808, 51 feet of 3-inch oak plank, 4000 ball cartridges for muskets, 339 fathoms of rope for signal halyards, and 46 thimbles for sewing. On January 1, 1779, Nelson wrote in the log of HMS Badger: "Moderate and clear Weather, received my Commission and superseded Captain Michael John Everitt in Command of Badger, went on board and read Ditto to the Ships Company. People employed occasionally." Through this kaleidoscopic recounting of ordinary (and sometimes extraordinary) experience, the ships and the officers and men aboard them are breathed into life.

                            Through this rich detail, Goodwin constructs a portrait of the Royal Navy, its ships, its duties, and its officers and men during the era when it rose to dominate the world's oceans. By concentrating upon a representative sample of warships, a true picture of the greater whole is drawn. Goodwin rejects the popular and out-dated view of life in the Royal Navy of the time as being one of horror, misery, and oppression. Instead, he demonstrates that the seamen were well fed (within limits of what could be preserved aboard ship) with between 4000 and 5000 calories a day to support their heavy labors and that they were in general proud professionals.

                            I consider Peter Goodwin's "Nelson's Ships" to be an ideal complement to Brian Lavery's "Nelson's Navy". While Lavery provides a thorough structural description of the Royal Navy circa 1800, its institutions, missions, and practices, Goodwin's book presents vivid, specific detail to flesh out that structure. And I would add one more book to make an ideal trilogy: James McGuane's "Heart of Oak" with its marvelous photographs of the implements and objects of everyday life at sea. Those three books together form an incomparable portrait of the Royal Navy in the Age of Fighting Sail.
