Book Description

John Saladino is one of the world's most respected interior designers. His design principles are rooted in classical architecture, yet he creates interiors and gardens with a pleasing, contemporary feel admired the world over. He believes that, no matter where you live, it is possible to make the home feel lika a sanctuary, the garden like Arcadia, and in this, his first book, he reveals his design secrets.

Dividing the book into two parts, he first addresses perennial design problems: how to link a series of rooms so that each flows naturally into the next; how to use accessories to give an illusion of space; how to make the most of natural light; how to use color to best advantage; and how to pare away unnecessary details to create order and balance. Each chapter deals with examples from both the home and the garden (which Saladino treats as indoor and outdoor rooms). Throughout the book, he looks at world-famous interiors and gardens (from Pompeii and Palladio in Italy to Syon House in London and Lincoln Center in New York) and cleverly translates their schemes and principles into practical design solutions. The second part of the book focuses on some of Saladino's most impressive creations around the world. Sumptuously illustrated with over 180 color photographs and drawings, Style by Saladino is a thrilling exploration of this masterful designer's unique sensibility.

LOVE SALADINO.......2007-09-25

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book. Saladino's design book has beautiful illustrations and he describes how to see in a way that is so soothing and gorgeous. his writing style allows you to understand how he visually conceptualizes a room. Consequently how you view the world is changed; for the better, because you are able to see and create more beauty.

Pure Genious!!.......2007-08-05

John Saladino's book is packed with design concepts and inspiring ideas. The book is full of beautiful pictures of his interiors, so majestic and practical at the same time...by far the most inspiring book I've read about interior design.

Interior Designer on Saladino.......2007-01-03

I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in good design both interior and exterior. As an Interior Designer I have always liked the style of John Saladino and this book presents his work beautifully. A wonderful source.

Gorgeous Style - Satisfying Substance.......2004-02-29

As a budding designer, I purchased this book in order to gain a more intimate look at one very gifted man's inspirations and approach to design. This book delivers the goods on two levels. Saladino's insights are personal, insightful and educational, and the accompanying photos are spectacular. There aren't any "tricks of the trade" here, but what you will find are the foundational principals behind Saladino's definition of good design. Be forewarned - Like any great artist, Saladino has some strong opinions. But that is exactly why I bought the book. I was looking for his thoughts and his opinions - I was not looking for a "Design 1-2-3" book. His book has helped me further advance my own personal design approach (which is not a clone of Saladino's), and take my art to a new level. I would recommend the book to those who either love Saladino's look, or those who want to explore some deeper issues about style, design and inspiration.

A Wonderful Picture Book - But Read the Text.......2003-12-15

John Saladino is often referred to as the "designer's designer" and I have followed with pleasure his designs from the 1980s through until today. I have also had the pleasure of visiting more than one Saladino interior and showhouse room on multiple occasions, as well as his showroom in New York, and can say with certainty that the images in the book don't begin to capture what they are in reality and how important the quality of light is on the materials selected. While I was a little disappointed with the way the images appear in this book (the paper stock doesn't seem conducive to showing the interiors at their best compared to glossy magazines), I have seen many of the same rooms in truly glossy publications many a time and they are stunning and always refreshing for their bold and assured mixing of antique and ornate with simple and modern (and if the negative reviewer below read the text he would know that Mr. Saladino appreciates objects for their beauty no matter their pedigree -- even simple things that aren't expensive mixed with long time precious treasures [one of his design signatures found again and again, for instance, is to use scientific volumetric flasks used as long-necked vases with a single delphinium -- total price, about $13-$26, including the flower]). Thumb through and enjoy the pictures, but also read the text and you will get an education in design like nowhere else, and be able to apply it to your own space and life and even the way you see. I was somewhat underwhelmed with the images (again due to the dullish paper stock) but the text was wonderfully informed (and didn't come off as snobbish at all to this reader). If you can find old issues of Architectural Digest (in which Saladino NEVER appears anymore for years and years, probably because he didn't kiss up to Paige Rense and often shows his interiors in competitors House Beautiful, House & Garden, etc.) you are in for a treat, but better still, in this book you're in for an education.

From the supplier: There are greater social and political ramifications associated with the Year 2000 computer problem. People's jobs, investments and their pension plans could be affected by the microprocessors and embedded chips that will refuse to work in computers when the year 2000 arrives. Unemployment checks, Social Security benefits, health care, air conditioning systems, elevators and telephones could be affected.

Book Description

Here are lessons from the personal experience of the team that led one of the most successful transnational corporate mergers of all time-the transformation of SmithKline Beckman and the Beecham Group into SmithKline Beecham, a leading international health care company. The authors recount their thinking and actions as well as the successes, failures, and lessons learned. Through the story of the merger, they present a framework of five requisites for creating a culture of change: instilling a winning attitude, making the organization the hero, striving for continuous learning, instituting strategic communication, and aligning behavior with strategy. For managers, this account offers a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse into how a major company aligned its business actions and behavior to be competitive in a rapidly changing industry, and how others can create an environment in which the ability to change sustains success.

Book Description

Most parents believe that their child's personality and intellectual development is a direct result of their child-rearing practices and home environment. This belief is supported by many social scientists who contend that the influences of "nature" and "nurture" are inseparable. Challenging such universally accepted assumptions, The Limits of Family Influence argues that socialization science has placed too heavy an emphasis on the family as the bearer of culture. Similarly, it reveals how the environmental variables most often named in socialization science--such as social class, parental warmth, and one- versus two-parent households--may also be empty of causal influence on child outcomes such as intelligence, personality, and psychopathology.

Book Description

"Galloping Thunder" is as comprehensive a history as any student of the Civil War could hope for, covering both the excitement of the battlefield and the mundane, everyday workings of the battalion as it marched and camped. The author also focuses on the individual personalities of the men who made up the battalion, quoting from hundreds of letters and journals. This book will allow readers to actually "see the humanity of the men," by providing a deep and thorough understanding of the soldiers' passions and motivations. The sheer volume and thoroughly researched facts of Galloping Thunder will make thisthe most significant work on this subject ever published.

Book Description

Most of the armed conflicts since World War II have been neither conventional nor nuclear, but wars of a third kind, usually fought in the Third World and relying heavily, although not exclusively, on guerrilla warfare. Edward E. Rice examines a number of conflicts of this sort, starting with the American Revolution, but concentrating on the Chinese Civil War, the Huk rebellion in the Philippines, the wars in Algeria and in Vietnam, and the repeated conflicts in Latin America. He explores the origin, organization, and motivation of wars of the third kind, their rural and popular nature, the conversion of guerrilla armies to regular armies, and conceptual approaches to counterinsurgency. Rice concludes with an analysis of the perils of these wars for the great powers.
