      Book Description

      When Cuban artist Tonel applied to art school as a young man he was rejected, told that his drawings were too simple, too much like caricatures. He enrolled instead at the University of Havana, becoming a renowned scholar of culture and art history - but he never stopped making his cynical, keenly ironic two and three dimensional art. His pieces offer insight on the human condition to all of us, but their meaning in Cuba is particularly potent, showing useless limbs or a phallus lying limply on the ground, unable to fulfill its function. A rare look at the still mysterious island just 90 miles from Florida, guided by one of Cuba's leading artists and critics. This book is an Exhibition catalog, written in English and Spanish text, dimension: 8 x 101/2 inches, and includes 66 b&w and 26 color reproductions.

          Book Description

          This manual shows the decisive role that a selective palette can play in conveying mood, enhancing a picture's composition, and turning ordinary shots into compelling camera art. The author shows through numerous examples how careful choices such as limiting color range, using complementary hues, and other decisions based on principles of the color wheel, can produce stunning results.

          Michael Busselle is an internationally known, best-selling author of sixteen previous books, a professional photographer, and a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society.

          2 out of 5 stars Better off with other titles.......2000-09-18

          The author has done a fairly good job in explaning the decision process behind his pictures but the book suffers throughly from poor pagination. Sections and themes (such as landscapes, colour, urban landcapes, etc.) that clearly appear to be distinct in the author's mind are all messed up... Composition is not discussed. The only lesson you learn from this book is to drop a Wratten 81A + polarizer in front of your lens before shooting.

          5 out of 5 stars Do you want to know the visual thinking behind the camera?.......2000-04-14

          Many books were written on the technical aspects of photography. I had read such books many times. However, very few authors have written books that focus on the visual thinking behind the camera, the process before the shutter is released. It is good to have some technical knowledge very well, but it is not enough to create a strong image. The author guided the reader through his visual thinking in a very informative way. The author did not put a lot of emphasize on the techinal area. He discussed it at the very end of the book. I own most of his books, and have been very pleased with the presentation and content. His books were well written.

                  Women and the Leadership Q reveals what many men have known all along: successful leaders come in all different shapes and sizes. The key isn't in gender, but learning how to leverage one's own style. To do this, women must accept, both intellectually and emotionally, their innate potential brilliance and blind spots of their own style.

                  Featuring Leadership Q-a 38-item, self-scoring, gender-neutral test, developed by Shoya Zichy and based upon the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator-women can identify which of the four profile groups best matches their personalities and then go on to explore which of the eight subsets, or specific leadership styles, applies to them. Bringing together a powerhouse team of leading Myers-Briggs test experts, Women and the Leadership Q includes exercises that help readers further refine their styles, build upon their strengths, and minimize their weaknesses. In addition, interviews and profiles of more than forty internationally well-known women illustrate the different groups and their leadership styles. Profiles include: Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, Madeleine Albright, Elizabeth Dole, Gloria Steinem, and many others.

                  3 out of 5 stars Interesting But Wordy.......2005-06-17

                  The Seven Secrets are thought provoking, but the Brooks sisters take 274 pages to say what could have been said in 100 pages. Also, the chapters veer off topic and spend considerable time discussing unfair treatment of women in the workplace.

                  4 out of 5 stars A useful book for all working women.......2000-10-04

                  The first point that is interesting about this book is the acceptance of the differences between the attitudes of men and women regarding their obligations at home and at work. Realising how we have been brought up, in a way that makes networking, taking risks or finding mentors much easier for men, is an important step towards changing our own attitudes that stand on our way to achieving our goals. One more point of interest is that the book addresses women not only in the corporate sector, but its concepts can be easily applied to all areas of emloyment. The book is highly readable, with many examples and success stories. For those of us using vision aids, note that the book's lettering is well thought of, not large print but comfortable, which makes reading less complicated than the usual overcrowded format used in business books.

                  Christina Rowe's book is a must to everybody who considers to divorce, who is about to divorce, is in the middle of the process or even who has already taken the step to divorce.

                  The Seven Secrets of Successful Divorce offers more than practical advice how to manage the different and usually painful situations and issues of the divorcing process. It is a book that helps you to be your own therapist when confronting the pain and feelings of disappointment, frustration, unsuccess, bitterness and uncertainty. It helps you to look forward into the future and prevent getting stuck in details. Also it helps you to observe and take different aspects into consideration, aspects that you would easily miss in the midst of your crisis.

                  Christina Rowe's book is practical, encouraging and healing. I can truly recommend it to everybody to whom divorce is of concern.

                          It's well written and has a lot of great information, even for people already in the process.

                          5 out of 5 stars An Essential Resource - Read this First.......2007-08-31

                          We are only a month into the international adoption process but fortunately I found this book before we started anything else. This has been our "Bible" for this process. She covers what to do, what to expect and what to look out for in her thorough step-by-step proces coverage. She also includes the "stories" of various families at each step of the process which helped me to understand that it is different for everyone. (I admit that I read all of the stories first...) We have used this book to guide us through all of our decisions and efforts through the homestudy and we feel thoroughly informed and prepared to tackle a complex and involved process. And so far, so good!

                          5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT RESOURCE FOR FUTURE GRANDPARENTS!.......2007-08-11

                          Future grandparents would really benefit from reading this book as it will help them understand the process of international adoption in an easy to read, very interesting format. This book is filled with heart-warming parents' stories while easily guiding readers through the very interesting process of adopting internationally. I could not put this book down and when I finished reading it, I felt very informed. The fact that the author, Dawn Davenport, has a website with up-to-date information is just an added bonus!

                          5 out of 5 stars great info.......2007-08-07

                          a wealth of info. this is the book to use to educate yourself on the world of international adoption. many adoption stories to read, also.

                          5 out of 5 stars Wonderful resource!.......2007-07-15

                          This book was the very first resource I bought when just beginning to
                          research international adoption - and I just recently pulled it off the
                          shelf again to look back over some things.

                          It has been a wonderful source of info - the book is a mix of factual, objective information and real experiences related by real people. It does not "sugar-coat" the topics, nor does it avoid the difficult subjects.

                          I would highly recommend this book to anyone considering international adoption.

                          Loved the inforamtion. The book spends most of its pages on baby adoptions out of the country, as opposed to in state adotpions as I was hoping. This book does provide information on each states procedures and processes. I'm not sorry I got the book, it will be a useful tool through our state adoption process.

                          5 out of 5 stars Extremely Informative.......2007-03-10

                          Due to issues with infertility my husband and I have decided to look into adopting. This book has been wonderful for answering any and all of our questions. I highly recommend it to anyone considering adoption or already in the process.

                          5 out of 5 stars very informative and readable.......2007-01-05

                          If anyone is considering any form of adoption, they need not look much further than this book for general information. It covers a wide range of subjects related to adoption, is very thorough and informative, and also quite easy to read. I picked it up because my wife and I are considering interracial special needs adoption, and most books don't talk about these subjects in depth, but this one does.

                          5 out of 5 stars A fantastic book.......2006-09-05

                          Thank you to the authors for writing this book. As my husband and I begin the adoption process, this book has been the one I've opened every time I have a question, and it hasn't let me down. I highly recommend it.

                          My fiance and I have decided to pursue a domestic adoption. I purchased this book in order to educate us on the topic of adoption. We started out knowing nothing and now we feel very informed and much more prepared as we embark on the journey of adoption. A must read!

                            5 out of 5 stars The Litvaks...Vibrancy to Demise.......2005-09-16

                            The Litvaks, A Short History of the Jews in Lithuania, is a book, of not only history, but one of insight into the vibrancy and the demise of the Jews and of their geographics and culture, religion and fight for survival, within the ever-changing demographics of the country.

                            This is a poignant book, detailing the history of Lithuanian Jews, from the 1300s through the present, detailing the end of WWII, including the Holocaust, through the present, through survivor histories.

                            The author manages to detail lifestyles, from banking to education, and cultural practices, and how they apply to the governmental discrimination and restrictions imposed upon the Lithuanian Jews (and, Jews in general).

                            I am grateful that Dov Levin undertook the research, and the writing of this insightful and informative book. I found a lot of my own familial ties inside the pages, not only the cities, and Shtetls, but the emotional and traditional ties that bind me to the past, and in particular, bind me to Lithuania.

                            The Jews and their will to survive, their will to keep the past within the context of the present, their strength to overcome the adversity, yet keep the devastation of the past, in the forefront, is part of my ancestral history, an innate part of me that felt, strongly, every word on every page of this excellent book, by Levin, and I have taken the knowledge garnered and applied it to my own familial roots. I will continue to strive to keep Levin's tribute of the Litvaks a part of ancestral documentation, from mother to daughter, to son, and down through the generations.

                            I gratefully thank Dov Levin for this endeavor, and poignant account of a piece of history, and for giving us a compilation of the Litvak's place in history, that we must all hold dear.
