Archabet: An Architectual Alphabet

Customer Reviews:

A great reference guide for any Anime or Manga otaku ( fan ).......2000-02-06

This is not your everyday daily pose book. First of all; Eguchi's reference guides are hard to find, second is the fact that this is an import from Japan. Every pose is shot in a twelve frame 360 degree cycle to give you the dimension of the pose. If you have the desire to draw Anime or real life in the view of a shonen ( Japanese for male )this is the book for you.

Useful, but cheese-laden.......1998-11-17

While this book is a "standard" figure pose book (1 figure shot from 12 angles or so,) the subject matter is rather cheesey. Lots of half-dressed, bent-over, up-the-skirt shots.

Customer Reviews:

Argh! My life is absurd! Buddy proves it!.......1999-04-26

Fun With Buddy & Lisa is the comic book rendition of all your teenage/early adulthood fears, but with side splitting humour thrown in to sweeten the mix. Buddy is, tragically, the joe on the street. Victim to a world that will not slow down enough for him to catch up. The art is fluid and psychotic, the writing makes you feel as if you are an uneasy eavesdropper and the characters are hyperactive, paranoid creatures who, with a sudden shiver down your back, you suddenly recognise as all too familiar. Warning! This is not for kids or the easily offended!

Book Description

None of us really know anything until we invade the areas of our lives in which we are ignorant and discover for ourselves the truth of our existance.

A 186 page "textbook", this book is a refreshing alternative to the typical, boring,"black - and - white style" textbooks written about Root Cause Failure Anlysis. Full of stories, clip art, humor and passion, this book is a practical cookbook, a moral lesson and a philosophical journey all-in one. In addition to explaining HOW to arrive at "root cause", the author also explains, through numerous examples, WHY he has developed the methods he uses. This most popular of Failsafe's publications is the basis for its four day course entitled "The Root Cause Experience."

Customer Reviews:

Curiosity will gain you knowledge.......2000-10-19

With enough innate curiosity about the world we live in, this is the only book an individual needs to be able to perform a root cause failure analysis. Chocked full of personal life experience anecdotes, the author eloquently guides us to how he arrives at the steps necessary to learn from things that go wrong. Leave your calculator in its case; this book reads like a novel and is not dry scientific stuff, but you will find yourself referring to it countless times as you proceed with your own failure analysis. On a deeper, subtler level, this is also the story about a man using his own "tools" to discover more about himself and the world around him.

Book Description

Why You Need This Book

You need this book because you probably don't have one (a book of your own that you have written I mean). And you need one. Really. That is, if you believe in what you have to say and care about your audiences. If not, then that's another book. A very short one, it would be entitled Get Out Now, You're Wasting Your Time And Everyone Else's Too!

But I'll bet that isn't the case so let's move on. By this time you have decided that you have something to say in life. Something that people are willing to pay for. You probably get paid for saying it. You should get paid for saying it. Worthwhile thoughts and ideas are worth something. And that being the case, you should make those worthwhile thoughts available in as many forms as possible. That means if you have a speech, you have an audio cassette. If you have a speech, you have a video. And if you have a speech, you have a book. Now most people that buy this book will have a speech. And many will even have an audio cassette. A few more will have a video. But very few will have a book. But you should have. And this book will show you how to get one.

To have something good to say and not offer it in every imaginable format is a disservice to those who need it and want it. So it's time for you to have book. And that is why you need this book. This book teaches you how to write a book. One page at a time. And that's why you need this book.

You Will Love This Book

No kidding. Because in it you will discover that writing a book is not all that hard. Regardless of what you have been lead to believe.

It's mainly about putting your rear end in a chair and typing. It is about transcribing your thoughts and ideas into a readable format. It is about loving what you have to say and knowing that you should share it with others because they deserve to hear it.

And it is about adding credibility to what you do. Authors are held in higher esteem in our society. Take advantage of that.

And it's about money. Books bring in a bunch of money. Back of the room sales and mail order and retail distribution can make life much easier for you.

It is not about perfection. There are very few perfect books. So don't worry about writing the perfect book. You won't. That's okay. Most people won't read it any way. Really. I don't mean to be ugly here but very few people actually read books. Lots of people buy books. But very few read them.

It is not about being able to spell. That is why they make spellcheck. And even then you won't get them all. Big deal. I have never read a book published by anyone that didn't have a typo or two in it.

It is not about punctuation. Hire someone to do that for you.

It is not about knowing everything there is to know about yoursubject. If you had to know everything there is to know about something before you wrote a book, no books would ever be written.

Again, it's about believing in what you do and those you do it for. Period.

A GREAT first step in writing a book!.......2007-04-04

Having self-published 6 books, and having written a best-selling book for a top publisher, I can definitely say that Larry Winget's little book helped me over the humps of fear, doubt, and "don't know how" feelings surrounding the writing my first book. This little book is a gem that helps get you started - nothing more, nothing less. I recommend it to EVERY first-time writer who comes my way asking questions like: "Where do I begin? How do I self-publish? How do I find ISBN numbers and someone who will help walk me through the process? I have so much information to share - how do I decide what to put in the book and what to leave out?" Quite frankly, I don't know anyone to whom I've recommended Larry's little book who has said after reading it that it was a waste of time. If anything, it gives hope and an energy boost to beginning writers - the feeling of "I CAN do this!" Thanks, Larry!

waste of money for sure.......2006-07-03

This is perhaps the worst book I ever bought.

If you happen to not know that you need a "table of content" in a book then you probably need this book.

Just to give a flavor of the quality of the content of this book, this is the "advice" given by the author on writing introductions (p28)

"Just say what the book is about, what gives you the right to write about it, why you wrote the book, who it is for, etc.
This will probably take at least two page and maybe many more.
This is the point where you will start using both side of the paper"

and that's it!

Very informative, no?

I guess that by selling this book this guy is just trying to make the point that "you don't need any real advice on how to write a book, just do it."

well my point is that certainly nobody needs spending money on advices like the ones give in this book which, in my humble opinion, are all simplistic and at best uninformative.

I wrote this book.......2006-04-25

This is not a book for everyone. It was written specifically for professional speakers as a handbook to aid them in self-publishing. it is not "how to write a bestseller" and it is not "how to write a fiction book." It is short little guide for those who already have a speech or an outline and want to self-publish. Hundreds have used it with great success. Larry Winget

waste of money.......2006-02-22

The title of the book is attractive. That's why I purchased a copy. Other than that, the book could be easily summarized on one page with a couple good suggestions. Otherwise, it feels like a con-job, and a waste of money.

Book Description

The widespread diffusion of information and communication technologies (ICT) has had controversial, seemingly paradoxical consequences. ICT are viewed as driving growth and employment in the United States, while contributing to European unemployment and the so-called Eurosclerosis. At the same time, both the United States and Europe have seen increased wage inequalities between skilled and unskilled workers.

This book explores the computer's puzzling effects on the economy, at both the micro and macro levels. The contributions include data from field work, small samples of firms, and national surveys of management practice; econometric studies; and macroeconomic theoretical analysis.

Useful, but necessarily broad to cover the subject.......2003-05-16

I used this book often while preparing my classes on 20th Century Conflict. The book does exactly as its title indicates, and tries to cram in enough details on the wars and conflicts of the U.S. military in the 20th Century to give a decent overview.

Strategies, commanders, and campaigns are recounted, from the World Wars to Cold War actions. Desert Storm is given some treatment, but it is limited having been written about so closely to the publication, prior to the hindsight provided by additional passage of time.

Book Description

After a long and painful transatlantic passage, African captives reached a continent they hadn't even known existed, where they were treated in ways that broke every law of civilization as they understood it. This was the discovery of America for a good number of our ancestors, one quite different from the "paradise" Columbus heralded but no less instrumental in shaping the country's history. What finding the New World meant to those who never sought it, and how they made the hostile, unfamiliar continent their own, is the subject of this volume, the first truly international collection of essays on African American literature and culture.

Distinguished scholars, critics, and writers from around the world gather here to examine a great variety of moments that have defined the African American experience. What were the values, images, and vocabulary that accompanied African "explorers" on their terrifying Columbiad, and what new forms did they develop to re-invent America from a black perspective? How did an extremely heterogeneous group of African pioneers remake themselves as African Americans? The authors search out answers in such diverse areas as slavery, the transatlantic tradition, urbanization, rape and lynching, gender, Paris, periodicals, festive moments, a Berlin ethnologist, Afrocentrism, Mark Twain, Spain, Casablanca, orality, the 1960s, Black-Jewish relations, television images, comedy, and magic. William Wells Brown, Frank Webb, W. E. B. Du Bois, Alain Locke, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, Etheridge Knight, Ishmael Reed, Toni Morrison, Gloria Naylor, and Charles Johnson are among the many writers they discuss in detail. The result, a landmark text in African American studies, reveals, within a broader context than ever before, the great and often unpredictable variety of complex cultural forces that have been at work in black America.

Great "out of your window" guide- even for novices.......1998-12-30

This is a very handy guide, simply and clearly laid out, it includes sections for the non-ornathologist (like myslef) with titles like "red birds" and "small brown birds". It contains hints on attracting birds to your yard and feeder, and it has a wealth of clear colored illustrations. Being a "Teal" myself I appreciate this. My aunt gave me this book,then she wanted to get it's name again later, so I am returning the favor and ordering one for her:)
