Book Description

This book awaited artist's manual is the first definitive sourcebook of its kind. In it, William Veasey teaches decorative decoy artists to accurately paint the details of waterfowl and gamebird bills and feet, as well as those of birds of prey. Bills and Feet is an authoritative work which will allow the craftsman to achieve a more lifelike effect with his carvings. Illustrated in full color, it is a must for the serious decoy artist.

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 My only real complaint is that it is starting to get a bit out of date.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.

A CLASSIC ON THE REAL TIES BETWEEN FASCISM AND BIG BUSINESS.......1999-12-29

A comprehensive study of fascism as it evolved in Italy and Germany in the 1920s and 1930s.

Daniel Guerin's classic work, first published in French in 1936, shows how fascism, far from being an aberration of mass psychology, arose from the specific conditions of a social system in crisis. At first covertly, then increasingly openly, layers of big business financed and promoted the fascist movements in Italy and Germany.

Guerin contrasts the fascists' initially radical anticapitalist demagogy with their moves to shore up the capitalist profit system once they form the government.

Book Description

The United States of America is no longer controlled by her people, but by moneyed interests entrenched in corporations that, by current design and configuration, hold no true allegiance to the United States or to her people. This is similar to the way in which a single human being can be overcome with, and thus controlled by, an alcohol or drug addiction. Recovery, in both situations, has striking parallels.

In this Novel, Mark Frankenberg illustrates with imaginary characters and plausible scenarios, journeys of people and their country at large, through decline, atonement and ascent, providing enough thought-provoking leads to keep the reader looking up things on the Internet for some time to come.

Book Description

This timely book provides a comprehensive analysis of the post-war evolution of financial markets and financial regulation in Japan, with special emphasis placed on the period since 1975.

Max Hall, a leading specialist in financial regulation, provides a full and detailed coverage of the causes and nature of the recent liberalization of financial markets adopted in Japan as well as its consequences for public policy. He also examines the recent reforms of Japan's central bank, the Bank of Japan, and offers an in-depth discussion of the current weaknesses of the Japanese banking sector. By providing a critical overview of the local financial system and detailed discussion of the evolution of financial markets in Japan, the book sheds new light on the institutional problems at the heart of the current crisis. The politics, as well as the economics, of the financial liberation program are scrutinized to provide a comprehensive analysis of financial reform.

Customer Reviews:

Already said well by an earlier reviewer.......2007-09-29

This is an excellent book, that I hope anyone within the US can become appreciative of, as it covers a much-overlooked figure in maritime history, especially that of the Americas! For anyone not familiar with his legacy, he was actually the first to land on the American continent, where as Colombus was the first to land in the Americas, within the Virgin Islands; completely oblivious even, of the land to the North.

Not a bad book, and one I enjoyed along with 'An Illustrated Viking Voyage.' I tend to read books one after another, as a group subject. I recommend Conway's History of Ships, if anyone chooses to get a thorough diagram, with charts and images of the earliest ships, to the modern designs. It seems kind of strange to be reviewing "picture books." :)

This isn't the "hooked-on phonics" version, just to note. It's a great book for any age, as the reader will take with them whatever they get from it. An excellent book that I would have appreciated when younger (I'm 22 right now.)

The book was in excellent condition. My daughter and I used it for a report in school. It served our purpose well.

Entertaining, Informative and Enlightening.......1999-02-09

John Cabot and the Matthew are to Newfoundlanders and Canadians what Christopher Columbus and the Santa Maria are to Americans. When the modern replica of Giovanni Caboto's (Cabot's Italian name) caravel Matthew visited our shores in 1997 to celebrate the 500th Anniversary of the originals voyage, I was smitten! The fact that it was the 20th Century, and not the 15th, didn't detract from the realism of the reinactment of John Cabot's transatlantic crossing of 1497. The modern crew battled north atlantic gales, encountered icebergs and vast fogbanks, much as had Cabot's crew of 500 years previous. On June 24th, 1997 amidst freezing temperatures and a howling gale, 500 years to the day after the original Matthew landed in Bonavista, the modern replica sailed out of a fog bank at landed at the very spot where Cabot reportedly first sighted land! After 53 days at sea in oftentimes trying conditions, the mostly novice crew, ranging in age from 20 years to 77, managed to sail their tiny replica ship from Bristol, England to Newfoundland and into the hearts of all Newfoundlanders. Fisrstbrook's book chronicles the birth of the idea for the recreation of Cabot's historic voyage through to the ships design and construction and her sea trials in 1996/97. Also, the book deals with the medeival world of late 15th century Europe that spawned such explorers as Columbus, Cabot and Corte Real as well as the historical facts surrounding Cabot's three voyages. Firstbrook also entertains the various theories dealing with Cabot's subsequent disappearance during his mysterious and ill-fated third voyage of 1498. For anyone interested in sailing ships, or history, or just an interesting read, this is an excellent book. The book is a companion to a BBC TV documentary which coincided with the Matthew replica's voyage in May/June of 1997. I haven't had the opportunity to see this series, as it has yet to be carried by local television unfortunately. For those who may tend towards the actual adventure of sailing a replica of a 15th century caravel across the stormy North Atlantic during one of the worst times of the year, I recommend "Bound Down for Newfoundland; the Diary of a Young Seaman Aboard the Matthew" by crewman Chris Legrow. You'll feel the stiff salt breeze reading this one!

Book Description

Published to coincide with the five-hundredth anniversary of Cabot's voyage and with the construction of a replica of the Matthew, this book provides a richly-illustrated glimpse at the dawn of the Age of Exploration.

Drawing on paintings, maps and illustrations from Europe's finest museums, Brian Cuthbertson brings to vivid life the places and events that shaped Cabot's life, and his age, setting down available information on the original trip and the uncertain evidence of Cabot's landfall in North America. Photos of the Matthew replica being built and under full sail also illustrate the text.

John Cabot & the Voyage of the Matthew is a vivid, colourful evocation of the spirit of a great explorer and his times.
