Where once we dwelt in soft and furry interiors, surrounded by carpets, cloth coverings, and other dust-prone, hard-to-clean surfaces, we now spend much of our time in tiled rooms surrounded by smooth-skinned appliances. The story of how the modern bathroom and kitchen came to be is told in The Bathroom, the Kitchen, and the Aesthetics of Waste. It was in these two rooms that the greatest transformation in home engineering occurred. A process for bringing clean water in and removing waste water transformed the home into a quasi-organic being, eating and excreting through an alimentary system whose inherent cleanliness influenced the design of the rooms where it was housed. Ellen Lupton and J. Abbot Miller present the history of this change in words and historical images in this attractive and surprisingly informative volume.
Book Description
Between 1890 and 1940, America's culture of consumption took its modern form: products were mass-produced, mass-distributed, and designed to be rapidly replaced by the buying public. The same period also saw the rise of the modern bathroom and kitchen as newly equipped spaces for administering bodily care The streamlined style of modern design, which served the new ideals of hygiene and the manufacturing policy of planned obsolescence, emanated from the domestic landscape of the bathroom and kitchen. The Bathroom, the Kitchen analyzes these developments with text and historical photographs, drawings, sketches, advertisements, and catalog pages.

Book Description
An Abrams favorite, now available in a new, fun format!
When Yann Arthus-Bertrand's astonishing book of photographs of domestic livestock and their breeders first appeared in 1999, The New York Times Book Review hailed this remarkable treasure as "a curiously appealing blend of art with kitsch...drama tinged with comedy." Now this wonderfully whimsical book is being rereleased in a fun new format.
Customer Reviews:
Love it.......2007-08-14
I gave this book to my Dad for Father's Day, years ago. Whenever I go to his house, it's there and I have to look through it again. Get a hardcover copy if you can ... it will wear out otherwise. :-)
I never tire of looking at this book.......2006-04-15
I'm not from a rural background, nor do I have any experience of animal husbandry, nor do I even have much interest in photography, but when I first saw this book in a store it simply drew me in.
Inside you will find page after page of superbly composed, full-colour photographs of various livestock breeds pictured with owners, owners' children or handlers from all over Europe, even some from as far away as Argentina. On some pages you will see soft-haired, placid sheep, on others tall and elegant horses, plump pigs whose faces almost seem to show amusement, graceful, homely-looking cows, on some occasions even goats or donkeys. Yet my personal favourites are the pictures of prize bulls. These handsome creatures seem to exude power, yet starkly defy their fearsome reputation as they stand patiently with their handlers, some of whom are just tiny children.
Yann Arthus-Bertrand's photographic juxtapositions of animal and master are often endearing, sometimes humourous, but crucially they are never, however often you happen to glance at them, dull. This book is not just a portfolio. Look through it and it will warm your heart.
loooooong wait.......2005-10-25
ordered this book a loooong time ago---have yet to receive it--- when i do receive it i will rewrite a review
Marvelous photographs of magnificent animals!.......1999-12-15
Arthus-Bertrand displays the most amazing photographs of breeding quality livestock that I have ever seen. Anyone who appreciates animal husbandry, agronomy, or farm animals in general will love this book. The photographs of bulls are exceptional!
A compelling book of portraits -- animals and their keepers........1999-09-25
This is the only photography book I've ever purchased, simply because I couldn't put it down in the bookstore. Since buying the book, I've passed it around to several friends -- some who are familiar with livestock -- and some who are not. Makes no difference. It's impossible to look at this book without going through the whole thing, page by beautiful page. The animals look strangely like their owners (or is it the other way around?). Each portrait is stark and simple, drawing your eye to the relationship between animal and handler. Buy this book. You won't regret it. Outstanding gift!

Book Description
Although the family farm is fading from the American landscape, the farm and its inhabitants hold a special place in our hearts. We are a nation descended from farmers, still tied to that heritage by strong emotional bonds. In Portraits, art photographer Danielle Weil presents 50 exquisite black-and-white portraits of farm animals. Her carefully composed photographs enable us to look at these animals--cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, goats, horses, and donkeys--with the patience they seldom allow us in real life and make it possible for us to discover their individuality, their uniqueness, all over again.
With a lyrical introduction by Verlyn Klinkenborg, Portraits is the perfect gift book for animal lovers and for all of us who feel a nostalgic connection to the farm.
Photographs of Farm Animals by Danielle Weil. A celebration of the American family farm in fifty exquisite black-and-white portraits. Introduction by Verlyn Klinkenborg.

Book Description
This book examines reforms in company and takeover law, crucial to modern business and economics. Reform activity is underway in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and most other member States of the European Union. In addition, the EU is developing its own rules and reform plans. The European 13th directive was enacted in December 2003- this requires modifications of member State takeover law. The European Commission has outlined the company law action plan which will lead to important directives from 2004 to 2010. This book is the first to deal comprehensively with both the 13th directive and the EU company law action plan, providing commentary on the action plan, and critically assessing what the future may hold. The takeover law provisions in the 13th directive, including the 'break-through' rule and the controversial level playing field for takeover activities amongst European member states and between them and the United States are examined. The contributions also address a wide range of topical issues including corporate disclosure, board structure, the role of non-executive and supervisory directors, remuneration of directors, responsibility of the management and the board, personal liability of board members, auditors, and conflicts of interest. The company law action plan and the two reports of the High Level Group of Company Law Experts upon which the plan was based are reproduced in full in a useful annex.

Every parent should read it........2007-07-12
This book gives both theory and step-by-step practical elements to guide the parent toward identifying and resolving difficult behavior. So glad I read it and have shared with other parents what a wonderful tool it is. PBS works!
I found this book to be really, really good........2007-06-13
This book was the most practical guide to managing children's behavior ever! I have an 8-year old son with high-functioning autism and a 6-year old neurotypical daughter. I received as much information about helping to get my daughter to stay in her bed at night and to get ready more quickly and willingly in the morning as I did dealing with my son's behavior issues. A great big "thank you" to the authors, both of whom obviously have experience not just as behavior professionals but as parents as well.

A concise how-to care for child discipline with workbook.......1998-11-25
The authors quickly tell the reader the logic and history of their child discipline recommen- dations. They show ways to recognize and type problems - then how to care for them in a respectful and democratic way. The included workbook with answers resolves any questions. A book to read and keep for future reference. Added value; with a little insight the principals cited can be used by any group leader/supervisor. The recommendations really work!

Book Description
Chicago Birds, An Introduction to Familiar Species in Northeastern Illinois, is a must-have, reference guide for beginners and experts alike. Whether you're on a nature hike or in your own backyard, you'll want to take along a copy of this indispensable guide. The Pocket Naturalist(tm) series is an introduction to common plants and animals and natural phenomena. Each pocket-sized, folding guide highlights up to 150 species and most feature a map highlighting prominent sanctuaries and outstanding natural attractions. Each is laminated for durability.
Customer Reviews:
Its OK, but there's a better guide available........2006-05-04
These Pocket Naturalist field cards are a great help in identification of birds; however, they have a significant drawback: there is usually only one illustration provided for each species and its the male. In many species, the male and female are fairly different, so if you happen to be looking at a female Goldfinch, you will likely not be able to identify it as such because the Guide only shows the male (he's bright yellow, she's dullish yellow-green and much more nondescript).
I like the Pocket Naturalist for its small size and very little weight. Perfect for tucking in my knapsack while hiking or boating. HOWEVER, instead of purchasing the Pocket Naturalist guide, I would recommend that you check out the Peterson's FlashGuides series. Peterson's provides male and female illustrations and makes identification much easier with greater liklihood of success. There are several different versions of the FlashGuides for birds based on region, just like these Pocket Naturalist guides. Peterson's costs a little more, weighs a little more and folds out larger than the Pocket Naturalist (a drawback as its kind of hard to handle in the wind), but it is the better of the two products.
