Book Description
Modernism eschews historical references and ornament in favor of pure forms. In homes and furnishings, this translates into dramatic symmetrical compositions, geometric shapes, and a fondness for open spaces. San Francisco Modern is the first book to survey modernism as it is seen in many magnificent Bay Area residences. Graced with dramatic landscapes and light, San Francisco has inspired some of the world's most creative and influential architects and designers. It has also thoroughly embraced the modern aesthetic. In this richly illustrated tour of some of the Bay Area's most striking homes, author Zahid Sardar unveils 32 premier examples of modernist exteriors and interiors, from apartments on famed Russian Hill to spacious lofts in the funky South of Market district, and from new homes built in Oakland's fire-ravaged hills to stunning houses in the wine country. With a foreword by Mario Botta and an introduction discussing the origins of Bay Area modernism, San Francisco Modern is an impressive sourcebook of contemporary style, one to be embraced by architects and designers as well as home owners looking for inspiration.

Real modern design.......2001-01-03
What a great book packed with pictures. The design is very modern and unconventional (read expensive). This is a very fun book to review. If you can't afford the architecture costs there are many ideas you can incorporate into a more typical home design.
Beautiful pix w lots of design ideas. Great Sonoma compound!.......1998-10-18
Coffee table book showing all the nicest spots in the Bay Area. The spread on the family compound in Sonoma is worth the price alone!

Book Description
Since its founding in 1952, Aperture has grown from a small periodical to a cultural phenomenon that reaches the largest and most diverse audience for significant photography worldwide. By examining it's own history, Photography Past/Forward: Aperture at 50 explores the currents in photography that have brought the medium to its present status as one of the most important art forms, and arguably, the most powerful medium of communication. It also demonstrates how Aperture has shaped and furthered this evolution, expanding the international audience for photography.
A remarkable selection of images culled from every period of Aperture's history illuminate photography's ever-expanding ability to evince uncommon beauty and render subjects as diverse as landscape and portraiture to issues of international social concern, whether civil rights, AIDS, domestic abuse, freedoms of speech, environmental conservation, or mass migration, to name a few. Other selections will explore evolving photographic techniques that have allowed image-makers to push artistic boundaries, from Aperture's revival of the vintage photogravure process to current explorations in the digital realm.
With groundbreaking images by such early masters as Joseph Nicéphore Niépce and William Henry Fox Talbot to seminal figures in the history of the magazine including Paul Strand, Dorothea Lange, Minor White, Ansel Adams, Barbara Morgan, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, this lush publication traces the evolution of both the magazine and the photographers whose work has become an important part of its story. Long-time collaborators Sally Mann, Eugene Richards, Richard Misrach, Robert Adams, Nan Goldin, Cindy Sherman, and Mary Ellen Mark, among many others, have made a selection of recent work, which together with images and original spreads from past issues offer a dynamic view of the medium's breadth of focus and innovation.
Remaining true to Aperture's history of providing a vital sounding board for a vast community of thinkers on and practitioners of photography, Photography Past/Forward: Aperture at 50 is supplemented by texts-excerpted from Aperture issues #1 (1952) through #165 (2001)-in which a range of voices from Nancy and Beaumont Newhall to Danny Lyon, Madonna, and Arthur Danto expound theories, manifestos, musings, and critiques on a broad range of photography-related subjects.

A celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of "Aperture".......2002-12-10
Photography Past Forward is a celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of "Aperture" magazine enhanced with the kind of visual imagery (excerpted from issues of Aperture ranging from 1952 to 2002) that Aperture is so closely identified with, and enhanced with a informative history of this world-class publisher by R. H. Cravens. The essence and mission of Aperture was to be a forum where serious photographers could communicate about the nature of their art. Visual and textual highlights from fifty years of sharing fill Photography Past Forward, which numerous select photographs - some in color, most in black and white - as well as quotes and articles offering timeless wisdom and advice to aspiring photographers everywhere. Photography Past Forward is a strongly recommended and memorable visual treat for all dedicated students and practitioners of the photographic arts.

Book Description
Wolff and Resnick provide a unique, balanced explication of the differing assumptions, logical structures, and arguments of neoclassical and Marxian economics. They address broader aspects of evaluating or choosing between alternative theories, but their conclusions are nonpolemical. Throughout, math is used simply and sparingly.

Book Description
As any mother will tell you, raising three rambunctious, athletic boys is no day at the beach. Somehow, Kathy Wistrom and her husband Ron have done a pretty good job with theirs. Each of their sons played college football, one at Central Missouri State (Chance) and two at the University of Nebraska (Grant and Tracey) and Grant is currently a member of the St. Louis Rams. Each has excelled in the sport and is on track to a happy and successful life.
While Kathy is quick to point out that she is no expert in parenting, over the years she has been asked enough times about how she and Ron raised their sons that she thought it was time to write it all down. The result, Mrs. Wistrom's ABCs, is a thoughtful and entertaining work. Kathy's parenting advise is practical and down-to-earth and her writing is laced with a sharp, clever sense of humor. Every parent with athletic children, and likely those whose children are not so competitive will enjoy this book. Kathy's stories of parenting in the Wistrom household are both heartfelt and humorous, with many lessons from which we can all learn.

For the Love of Family and Sports.......2003-04-01
I came across this book just browsing one day. My husband and I absolutely love sports especially football. My young sons are coming up the same way and thier dad can't wait to be their coach. This book is about Mr. and Mrs. Wistrom raising their three active boys Chance, Grant, and Tracey and the trials that they went through. From their dad being their first coach to each one being and All-American in college and playing college football. I fell in love with this book. I have read it more than once and shared it with friends and family who have enjoyed it also. The stories of this family are funny, sweet, and charming. It is also wonderful to know that their are men like Mrs. Wistrom's sons that my boys and other children can look up to in this day of time. I highly recommend this book for anyone to read for you will surely enjoy it.

Customer Reviews:
A Great Book for the Heavy Infantry.......2005-05-06
Today no one thinks that they could fly a jet or command a ship. But everyone thinks that they could command troops in the field. This book shows its not as easy as it looks. You don't line your tracks and grunts up in a line & go get them. This small, slim book is a great primer for the people who are going into the Mechinized Infantry or if you are going into the NTC for fun in the Sun.
Altogether this is a great companion for the "Defense of Duffers Drift" and should be read and shared by the rough ,tough soldiery of the Green Machine.
Worth every penny.......2003-12-31
This allegory about LTC A. Tack Always having to serve his time in purgatory (the NTC) is an outstanding read. Having served 12 years in the Army as an Armor officer I found this book dead on about tactics and operational planning. This book is geared more toward someone who has some military knowledge, though. If you are a civilian with no military knowledge then this book might be a little hard to understand. Overall it is a great read.
Today's Tactical Primer for the Heavy Metal Army.......2003-07-23
If you are riding in a combat vehicle that weighs over 11 tons, and you have to read this book. It takes basic tenants from Duffer's drift and puts it into a mechanized framework. Read Duffer's drift first, then this book. It will change the way you look at terrain or I'll eat a box of MREs!
The best picture you can get of NTC without enlisting........2002-09-03
The Defense of Hill 781 is the clearest and most accurate depiction of what the National Training Center at Fort Irwin is all about. I've deployed there three times and still learned from this book.
I love these books.......2002-01-07
I love these books. It is a very easy to read book that I would recommend for people in the military and people not in the Military. "The Defense of Duffer's Drift" and "The Defense of Hill 781" belong on the same shelf together. They are both long enough to cover the topic, but short enough to actually read. BTW, If you are from a foreign country that is not friendly with the USA, you will not like this book. It will be of little use to you. 8-)
