Introduction to Balinese Architecture (Periplus Asian Architecture)

Customer Reviews:

Good introduction.......2007-05-09

The book is a good introduction to the different building types you can visit in Bali. The photos and accompanying illustrations are helpful. The text is basic and gives reasonable summaries of the buildings. The downside is the tendancy for the authors to repeat topics in the sidebars included in each section. While consistent, it does become a bit redundant. I'd also like to have better access to definitions of the balinese terms used throughout the text. They're good to know, but become cumbersome afte a while. The bibliography will be helpful to those looking for additional information on any of the chapters.

Good Reference and information for anyone.......2007-09-12

There is always those days in which you get stuck, this book is great to help you out or even to just help you see things from a different perspective. It is very informative and it covers all the basics in 359 pages. The design itself of the book is a pleasure to hold and browse, you almost feel like you just want to carry it around for just in case. It comes with exercises which are helpful mostly if you're a bigginer and it also has a lot of tips and ideas that come hand just about any time. Overall i think this book is great and if you're considering graphic design as a career path this book will surely help you define if you really love design or not.

Helpful.......2007-08-24

This book really shows you the guidelines of design... not rules but boundaries, emphasizing what most designers lean toward .. and tend to stay away from.
Great book.

Simply the Best.......2007-08-23

Krause tops himself with this book. It's packed with ideas and technical layout specifics. Also included are a variety of exercises for stretching your creativity. Worth it!

A must buy........2007-08-12

First I bought The Elements of Graphic Design, apperantly a popular design guide, but it was a visual trainwreck, and was very dull. So I returned it for this book, and have since fallen in love with it. An essential reference, it's authoritative without being constraining or commanding or judging. Refreshing. Buy it.

A Book to Hold on to!.......2007-08-07

This book completely covers the basic design principles and shows in depth the application and usefulness of them. Not only does it do this effectively, but it's exciting to read! Overall the book is very easy to understand and could teach just about anyone how to design better. If you need a guide in design for any field, choose this one!

The revised Freitag bibliography is a solid, fairly comprehensive reference guide to artist's monographs in and out of print, based on the collection at Harvard's Fine Arts Library. While it does not include every substantial work ever published on each artist, and lacks citations for many artists one would expect to be included (esp. modern and contemporary artists), it is a fine and useful resource for serious students, librarians, or book collectors.

Book Description

How do smokers evaluate evidence that smoking harms health? Some evidence suggests that smokers overestimate health risks from smoking. This book challenges this conclusion. The authors find that smokers tend to be overly optimistic about their longevity and future health if they quit later in life.

Older adults' decisions to quit smoking require personal experience with the serious health impacts associated with smoking. Smokers over fifty revise their risk perceptions only after experiencing a major health shock--such as a heart attack. But less serious symptoms, such as shortness of breath, do not cause changes in perceptions. Waiting for such a jolt to occur is imprudent.

The authors show that well-crafted messages about how smoking affects quality of life can greatly affect current perceptions of smoking risks. If smokers are informed of long-term consequences of a disease, and if they are told that quitting can indeed come too late, they are able to evaluate the risks of smoking more accurately, and act accordingly.

Book Description

The Economic Potential of a Larger Europe gives insights into past, present and future issues related to the ongoing EU enlargement process. Providing a unique forum for debate and a multiplicity of views and experiences from both high-profile academics and those who engage with enlargement on an implementation level, this book covers a wide range of topics that are key to a successful transition and integration process and thus to the provision of a prosperous growth environment within a larger Europe. Special attention is paid to monetary integration, notably entry into ERM II, on which representatives of the national central banks involved present their views. Given the non-technical language of most contributions, this publication targets a broad audience generally interested in the future of the EU, in the design of the enlargement process, and in the challenges of reform on the road to a stronger Europe. This is a book that can be recommended for economists as well as experts in the fields of European integration, Central and Eastern Europe, and EU enlargement from governments, international organizations, central, commercial and investment banks, and universities and research institutes.

Book Description

The commercial banking industry in the United States has dramatically restructured. While concentration has increased, banks no longer dominate financial services. Instead, they have become part of holding companies that own a broad range of closely related financial services companies that are both complementary and competitive. Historical prohibitions against interstate banking have been liberalized as have the regulatory barriers that strictly separate banking, insurance, and securities market activities. As risk and complexity in the financial system increases and traditional sources of returns in banking diminish, pressure for further change will mount.
While the facts of regulatory change in U.S. commercial banking are not entirely new, we have a limited understanding of how it actually happened. And how it happened holds important lessons for future change as well as for other banking systems that are facing similar pressures. The Invisible Hands of U.S. Commercial Banking Reform shows how to analyze incentives for economic and institutional change and then demonstrates how incentives shape beliefs and choices. Contrary to commonly held assumptions, U.S. commercial banking is governed by a closely integrated combination of markets and governments and large-scale adaptation appears to require both relatively unfettered private action and government guarantees.

Book Description

Labor Pains is an insider's account of the struggle to rebuild a vibrant and powerful trade union movement in the United States. It takes as its starting point the daily experience of a union organizer, and brings that experience to life. It enables us to grasp how the conflicting demands of race, class, and gender are lived in the new union movement.

The role of the unions is defined mainly by larger economic and political agendas. While keeping these agendas clearly in sight, Erem focuses primarily on aspects of the life of the union which often remain hidden. The personal crises of union members become entangled in the work of the union. The energies of the union are focused not only on winning gains from bosses but also on maintaining internal cohesion and morale among workers. Barriers of race, age and gender are constantly negotiated and overcome, and conflicts flare up across them at moments of tension. And union life goes on not only when the workers have made their point, or won a victory, but after defeat as well. The personalities and ambitions of union organizers converge at times and become a source of tension at others. Each individual within the larger collective has their own task of finding a viable balance between public and private selves.

These intersecting lines of force are imaginatively recreated in this book. Erem writes as a woman in a union movement which is dominated by men; as the child of immigrants in a movement whose members are increasingly immigrants themselves; as one who finds herself in the racial no man's land between black and white. While never underestimating the obstacles in the way of the union movement, she makes a powerful and passionate case for organizing the disorganized and empowering the powerless.

Real Labor Activists Tell it Like It Is.......2003-10-06

Ever since John Sweeny displaced the old guard at the AFL-CI0 and began to revive a moribund but important labor movement, we've read a great deal about this new face of labor. We've read about the focus on service employees -- who are predominantly women and people of color -- we've learned about aggressive organizing tactics and corporate campaigns, we've seen the leaders of the movement featured in labor publications and we've even heard about the members, activists and staffers who are the ground troops in this war.

Suzan Erem's book, Labor Pains, is unusual in that it makes us live through the beginnings of that movement. We don't just read about it; Erem's writing has the ability to bring you into it and you see if from the inside -- warts and all.

She does this by conncecting with reader not as an activist or leader -- but as a human being. The labor movement is made up of human beings who have the same problems and concerns that everyone else has, including raising children, paying the rent and even keeping warm during the long Chicago winter. It has been a shortcoming of writing about labor that the authors seem to think that the only humans are the "objects" of the organizing drives, the potential and actual bargaining unit employees, except, of course, when they have something bad to say about the leaders.

Erem doesn't have something bad to say -- or something good, for that matter. She just tells it as it is. Yes, the movement is made up of men and women struggling to create a better world, but these men and women can -- like everyone else -- be motivated by racism or nationalism, sexism and careerism. Not to say that is to patronize the reader and to call into question all of the "happy" truths of the movement. Those interested in the new labor movement can balance the truth about our humanity with the fact of our commitment.

I especially recommend this book to those many young people who come to the movement with high hopes of making a difference. It says that you have good reason for those hopes, but here are some landmines to avoid. These readers will all thank Erem for sharing the shortcomings of our activists and our movement -- including her own --with them, while also confirming that their hope to make a difference by organizing working people into unions is still well placed.

Often Poetic Picture of the Gritty Side of Labor Organizing.......2002-02-17

Often Poetic Picture of the Gritty Side of Labor Organizing

Labor Pains is a good read and a thoughtful and perceptive description of the work of a labor organizer for SEIU Local 73. The author, Suzan Erem, is a woman with the soul of a poet who fought on behalf of workers to organize. Much that I had read previously about such efforts to establish and maintain unions has been either inspirational, like the splendid song of the French Revolution, the Marseillaise, or tedious, like descriptions of Madam Lafarge's knitting. This is neither: it is the well-observed descriptive account of activities of a dedicated witness to, and participant in, the efforts by the labor movement to secure power and justice. In some senses it is about love and perhaps even the ecstasy of the moment but more important it is as the title, Labor Pains, perceptively suggests, about what comes after the love and the moment and before the exhilarating and painful moment of birth.

Labor Pains is about Suzan Erem's moments of discomfort and doubt. It is also about her persistence and her effort to maintain balance and idealism. She does not always succeed and tells us about the failure of her marriage and the organizing efforts that didn't work. But she also provides graphic descriptions of efforts that did work and the pleasure she took in those moments.

Erem is particularly good at describing the people she worked with and the role of the media in the struggle to organize. Her primary job was not only to organize, but also to get the story out. The story is not always happy or glamorous but it is well described. In one scene a small band of organizers hang a banner over an overpass to draw the media's attention to a strike they are organizing against a Chicago hospital. It is a very cold early winter Chicago morning on Lake Shore Drive and the effort seems almost futile, perhaps crazy. But it works and the media event draws attention to the union's struggle and helps in the winning effort organize the hospital and bring about an improved wage scale and other benefits through the protection of the union.

Erem describes her work in the labor movement both as an attempt to "scratch our mark on history" and to tell the story of the workers, a story that might otherwise not be told. She has done this well in Labor Pains and she has also told us her own story. It was a story worth telling. I expect she will have more stories to tell us.

This very well may the shortest and cheapest books on parenting the only child, but I found it thin on the type of information that I was looking for. There are no fast fixes to parenting and I was hoping for more depth in dealing with issues that were of great importance to me.

Excellent resource.......2000-02-01

This is the cheapest, shortest, and by far the best of the 4 books on this topic which I recently purchased on Amazon. It is factual rather than anecdotal. It is very balanced in that it examines the pros and cons of many aspects of being an only child. It is far more expert and professional than the others I read.

Book Description

Enemies of America who have no hope of competing with conventional U.S. military forces, Wayne Michael Hall warns in the opening pages of this timely book, will instead seize upon the strategies, tactics, and tools of asymmetric warfare to win future conflicts. A retired brigadier general in the U.S. Army with thirty years of experience in intelligence, Hall has written the book primarily for the military community and civilians interested in or responsible for homeland security. He explains the notion of knowledge warfare as our adversaries' principal asymmetric strategy and information operations as their tactic du jour, and then offers a wealth of ideas on how to deal aggressively with these threats in the twenty-first century.

Along with knowledge war and information operations, the book discusses deception, information superiority, and knowledge management. It also recommends ways for the country to prepare for knowledge war through merging the country's brainpower and technology in Knowledge Advantage centers, developing a joint information-operations proving ground where leaders train their staffs in a cyber-world environment, and developing an internet replicator to prepare for conflict in cyberspace. The book is published in cooperation with the Association of the U.S. Army. 272 pages. Notes. Index. Hardcover. 6 x 9 inches.

Customer Reviews:

Don't bother with this!.......2003-11-16

You call tell Hall was a military intelligence general; this book reads like a PowerPoint briefing! He displays only a rudimentary understanding of computers and cyberspace, although the discussion is clearly fleshed out by outside reading. However, we're unable to follow his research because Hall fails to include a bibliography, although he does provide a short list of references in the endnotes.

This book was used as a textbook in a course I took in 2004 on intelligence and computers, and the nicest thing any student said about it was that is was short. The instructor asked us if he should use the book in the following term; everybody answered, "NO!"

To be fair, Hall's expertise does show when he is discussing military and intelligence subjects, but he falters when trying to link these topics to computers. A better, but older, text would be James Adams' "The Next World War: Computers Are the Weapons and the Front Line Is Everywhere." (One passage from Adams' work stated it would be captains and lieutenants who would be the ones understand computer warfare, and that generals wouldn't get it. "Stray Voltage" strongly supports Adams' argument.)

Exceptional Contribution.......2003-06-23

Stray Voltage provides rare insights into Information Age warfare and its practical prosecution in the physical, cyber, and cerebral domains . . . at a granularity I don't believe any author has achieved to date.

Hall presents Information Age warfare as a form of intellectual combat where the brightest, most cerebrally agile competitor moves to shape the environment, thinking, and practical outcome of his opponent--much like other futurists and military thinkers. But he goes much further. Hall's future battlefield is more than a geographically constrained force, state, or region; it's the here-and-now, day-to-day technical infrastructure delivering knowledge and knowledge advantage. Our opponents are not the seemingly predictable military forces of recent conflicts, but are thinking, adaptive threats maneuvering within the infrastructure, promising to become whatever our security posture is not. His view of the future soldier also defies convention. The future soldier is not simply the high tech-hybrid we see on posters, but a profoundly educated, well-trained cyber-warrior armed with knowledge engines, mining tools, protected infrastructures, and an unequalled capacity to sense, adapt, and act. . . as an individual, and in aggregate.

Exceptional. I gained something new in every chapter.

Stray Voltage deserves a careful read by any seeking to understand and apply Information Age principles in operations, security, and training. Advanced Warfighting and Homeland Defense practitioners probably should read it again within the first year, and annually thereafter. Too bad we can't encrypt the contents. I'm confident our opponents will read it as well.

Merging brainpower with technology.......2003-06-12

Enemies of the U.S. who lack military might and money will use the strategies and tools of asymmetric warfare to win future conflicts: that's the contention of Wayne Michael Hall, a retired general with thirty years of intelligence experience. From potential conflicts prepared for with cyberspace to information superiority and deception, Stray Voltage advises a public and a governmental focus on merging brainpower with technology to meet and master this new threat.

Knowledge Warfare in the Information Age.......2003-06-06

"Stray Voltage" is, without doubt, one of the most intellectually hard-hitting and insightful books that you will ever read. This is a brilliant book that should be read and discussed by policy makers, warfighters and the intellectually hungry alike. BG (R) Wayne M. Hall, a seasoned scholar and warrior, skillfully presents the vital importance of Knowledge Warfare in the 21st Century. Readers will never view warfare in the same manner again.

In the opening pages BG(R) Hall starkly portrays our future operational environment and the growing asymmetrical threat to the National Security interests of the United States. He describes how a learning and adaptive adversary will continue to use asymmetrical means to circumvent the overwhelming and technologically superior forces of more militarily developed nations. Additionally, BG(R) Hall explains the concept of knowledge warfare and how it will form the underlying foundation of future conflict. At the heart of knowledge warfare lies the philosophy that advantages accrue to the side with the knowledge and decision-making capabilities to make decisions better and faster than their opponents. Hence, this need generates an intense competition for the valuable information and knowledge required by both sides to make rapid and insightful decisions.

Proceeding chapters further depict how the Nations adversaries will use knowledge warfare in an asymmetrical environment coupled with information operations. The book deftly explores information superiority, deception, knowledge management and cyber-warriors and their respective roles in knowledge warfare and information operations. Finally, in the chapter aptly titled "The Way Ahead," BG (R) Hall offers a wealth of ideas on how to deal aggressively with the threats we will face in the information age.

"Stray Voltage" is a balanced and readable examination of future warfare that, although written for a military audience and civilians interested in National Security, is suitable for a broad audience. A book like of caliber and impact only comes along once every millennium. BG(R) Hall joins the ranks of Clausewitz, Sun Tzu, and John Boyd as one of histories greatest theorist. Wayne M. Hall's innovative recommendations will serve as the catalyst for change within the military and government and provide a blueprint for organizational, leadership and warfighting transformation. For those searching for that book to soothe their intellectual hunger, "Stray Voltage" will fulfill their hunger. The books recommendations serve as a proscriptive reading to help readers of all levels to think about and deal with the learning and adaptive adversaries and complex environment they will continue to face in the 21st century. Wayne M. Hall is clearly a theorist whose time has come.

Detailed.......2007-09-02

Each of the 322 bird descriptions in this book contains the usual details of the bird's appearance but also details on the bird's habits as well. For example, the Greater Yellowlegs performs the roll of lookout among mixed flocks of shorebirds, calling incessantly at the first sign of danger, often hops on one leg and will pick food off of the water's surface despite a bill that appears to be made for probing. The Lesser Yellowlegs was a popular game bird in the 1800s because of their tendency to return and hover over wounded flockmates. These details not only help identify the bird but allow you to get to know it as well. The best location and months of the year to see each bird is also included. The table of contents lists a small picture of each to help more quickly identify possible matches. I tend to prefer the photographs in Stan Tekiela's "Birds of Wisconsin" over the illustrations in this book, but both include enough detail to identify the bird. Also, the detail in this book makes it about twice the size of Tekiela's book which fits in a front jeans pocket. If you don't mind the size of the book or illustrations instead of photographs, then this book is an excellent choice for Wisconsin or Minnesota bird watchers. The top 50 sites in each state are listed, and the top 10 are given a paragraph or two describing what to see and when to go.

Pretty Decent.......2006-01-16
