Book Description

•Exciting work from an important artist

•Beautiful, inspiring nudes

Petter Hegre is hailed as the master of the New Nude, a unique and instantly recognizable style based firmly in reality: real people in authentic situations. In his sixth book, this dynamic photographer has banished the counterfeit glamour of the old century, replacing it with an intimitable and graphic romanticism. Intimate and insightful, dramatic and fun, 100 Naked Girls offers truth in advertising—the name says it all—and in art.

5 out of 5 stars Just beautiful.......2007-01-07

Hegre has an eye for a certain kind of beauty in women. Not all women's lives create it, it may be prettiness rather than beauty, and it lasts for only a short part of a life. Still, it's there, and Hegre has captured 100 different kinds of it.

Marketa, the cover model, sets the pattern: they're all young, slender, and very lovely. A few, like Tatiane and Lucy, don't match the European mold - very few, and I would have liked more of the variety they represent. Some, like Luba are very 'posed.' Others, like Olga and Lena or Sveta and Inga, show models in close groups, hinting at physcial affection between them. Natural looks predominate but some - like Lza - offer surprises. The majority, typified by Olga, Andrea, and Dina, convey the fun the woman seems to have in simply being herself.

This book is almost too much, though. The models are sweet, but I wouldn't want to eat only desserts all the time either. There are lots of other ways for a woman to look good - but Hegre has ignored them in favor of just this very conventional one. Well, it's an easy one to enjoy.

This is a lovely collection of very pretty young women. It's not overtly erotic, except maybe once or twice. Instead, it simply celebrates the charm and elegance that's native to these lovely models.

I got the book for my boyfriend and he honestly hasn't even looked at it, just flipped through. I looked at it though and just thought it was cheesy. The girls all look the same and they just aren't very sexy. I was disappointed. Poo

5 out of 5 stars New Nude .......2006-07-21

Do girls enjoy seeing beautiful naked girls? You bet we do, and few photographers as far as I can see find more beautiful girls or photograph them more beautifully. This is not a book to race through but a book to savour, honest, natural, totally real, Petter Hegre has taken the new nude to new limits of human endeavour. I can't wait to see the next one.

5 out of 5 stars Great Photographer.......2006-05-20

This is the difference between porn and art. This is Art photography; a tastefull display of beauty, in its purest form.

3 out of 5 stars Too small.......2006-04-04

To my eye, the models are wonderful, charming. The compositions are good to great. The phototechnical quality is excellent throughout the book. But the physical size of the page is simply too small! What is worse, many pages feature several photos at once, or a single photo accompanied by text. In other words, many (nice) photos occupy much less than one page.

I ended up selling this book. Not enough detail in the small images to suit me.

              Book Description

              A beautiful, stylish celebration of the cult of the blonde

              If you've only one life, live it as a blonde" are the immortal words of a Clairol ad, and they set the stage for Kathy Phillips's treatment of the world of the blonde, natural or dyed, past or present, male or female. Complete with a "Blonde Bible" and "All you need to know about being blonde"--a practical guide to blonding techniques--here are blondes of all shapes and sizes, from film stars, and rock babes, to sports heroes and catwalk queens. The Vogue Book of Blondes heralds the sex kittens of the 1930s such as Jean Harlow and Veronica Lake, peroxide pop stars including Blondie and Billy Idol, male sex symbols such as Robert Redford and Leonardo DiCaprio, and blonde icons, from Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe to Princess Diana and Madonna. This beautifully illustrated compendium features the work of world class photographers such as David Bailey, Mario Testino, and Herb Ritts. If it's true that blondes have more fun, then The Vogue Book of Blondes is a perfect gift for the blonde or aspiring blonde in your life.

              2 out of 5 stars Not about real blondes.......2001-07-16

              This book is not about blondes; it is about brunettes who bleach their hair. Real blondes - those who got their hair colour from their genes and not out of a bottle - will be disappointed, as there's nothing in this book that relates to them. There is a lot of interesting information about the bottle blondes like Jean Harlow, Marilyn Monroe and Madonna but real blondes are quite something different.

              5 out of 5 stars the blonde mystique.......2001-06-14

              great book, wonderful layout and pictures, great writing. very whimsical and a great example of modern writing and interest. recommended to anyone interested in popular culture!

              5 out of 5 stars Sooo enjoyable to read... even for brunettes.......2000-10-20

              Very complete and informative, this book deals with the history and psychology of the so called dumb blondes. The text is brilliant and the pictures outstanding. Let's enjoy the icones such as Madonna or Marilyn Monroe (Brigitte Bardot, Catherine Deneuve etc) and the advices of the international who's who of colourists.

                            5 out of 5 stars Great, funny gay movie spoof!.......2003-05-15

                            This graphic novel is tongue-in-cheek throughout, and deliciously funny as well as gripping. It is based on a new Jaws-like villain in the form of a condom that poses as a 'normal' prophylactic, then bites off and devours the unsuspecting victim's penis. Starting in true thriller fashion with a 'trailer' showing its firtst victim, the 'film' (Konig even gives us a movie-style 'credits' page at the start) follows the detective hero as he tracks down the monster. The twist is that the detective is gay, and by the end of the book he finds love, or a reasonable facsimile, with a young hustler.
                            The cast of supporting characters in this book is wonderfully varied, from the university professor who lures his student to a cheap hotel in the hope of seducing her only to become a victim of the condom, to the street hustler who calmly negotiates the price per 'hit' with a sailor who wants to beat him up.
                            The Killer Condom is the best introduction to Konig's work, as the movie parody style and fast-paced action are more accessible to general audiences than his later, more contemplative works, which focus on analysing gay marriages at various stages of development. This book is a gripping page-turner. Even if you're not crazy about Konig's other works (such as Bull's Balls, Maybe...Maybe Not, etc.), if you like movie parodies, laugh-out-loud comedy and strong plotty detective fun, not to mention Konig's distinctive pen-and-watercolor drawing style (the book is black-and-white, but water-based inks are obviously used), this book is a must-read.

                            This book should really be in every highschool library and everyone's bookshelf. I really enjoy reading the book. I bought the book when I was in high school and I really enjoy it.

                                                      1 out of 5 stars Extremely Outdated, Poorly Researched, Highly Negative.......2002-11-28

                                                      After two complicated pregnancies involving months of bedrest, I was very excited to find this book to read as I go through my third pregnancy. I was very, very dissappointed. I am a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator with extensive knowledge about pregnancy in general and very specific knowledge about my own two complications: Pregnancy Induced Hypertension and Preterm Labor. In addition to my own interests, I read this whole book hoping to learn more about other complications so that I could help my students who are experiencing these.

                                                      There are several things that make this book almost useless:

                                                      1. The Research is EXTREMELY outdated. The book, originally published in 1991 claims to have been revised in 1996. However, checking her sources listed in the Bibliography, NONE of them are more recent than the 1980s. In reading the whole book, I realized she obviously didn't update any of her research and the explanations and medical information she gives are so outdated that they are useless at best and possibly harmful at worst [some of the information she gives on Pregnancy Induced Hypertension is not only wrong, it would be dangerous for a pregnant woman to follow her advice]. 10-15 years in the medical field is an *eternity* - things change so fast, new breakthroughs and research happen all the time and a book like this needs to either be kept accurately up to date or removed from publication.

                                                      2. Even her original research was bad. She is NOT an medical or scientific person, which could be really good for a book like this [we are looking for a lay person's explanation after all!]. However, she obviously had no real medical or scientifically knowledgeable person proof her book. It is full of errors that make it hard to believe anything she writes. For example, in the chapter on "when pregnancy IS perfect" she is discussing normal pregnancy and labor and delivery. She writes: "When the baby's head can be seen through the opening of the vagina, it is called crowning - because it is almost always the crown of the baby's head that emerges first." This is not accurate. Crowning occurs when the largest circumference of the baby's head is emerging through the perineum - when the vagina is stretched the most it will have to stretch. This has nothing to do with when the baby's head can first be seen - which can actually be hours before crowning occurs in some cases, depending on how long the pushing phase lasts. This is not a huge deal, but the book is FULL of little inaccuracies like this - my copy is just covered in highlights where I underlined what she wrote that was wrong. It was very hard for me to take the rest of the book seriously when she made so many very basic errors. Even the word "Foreword" is misspelled on the cover of the book - it is spelled "Forward". Poor editing and not enough scientific understanding plague this whole book in my opinion.

                                                      3. The book is extremely negative. The author lost her twin baby daughter soon after birth after a highly complicated pregnancy. She wrote this book as a way of coping with her grief and it shows. The book is very quick to bring up pregnancy loss and neonatal/infant death, often in places where it is innappropriate. I'm afraid that a pregnant woman reading this book would get a very skewed idea of her baby's chances of survival - the reality is that the VAST MAJORITY of complicated pregnancies end with a healthy child and a healthy mother. I think that reading this book would only add undue stress and worry for a pregnant mother in a complicated pregnancy situation, and I myself found the book very upsetting and difficult to read at times. [Even after having two successful healthy births after prior complicated pregnancies]. The reality is that babies do sometimes die. But we don't need to dwell so much on that possibility - we need to acknowledge it, do everything we can to prevent it, and then move on. Brooding over it doesn't help anyone.

                                                      What is good about this book? There is an excellent chapter on "Pregnancy Loss: When the Worst Happens". It would be very useful to a couple who had lost a child. However, I would NEVER recommend that a pregnant mother read this chapter unless there were very clear and obvious reasons to believe that her pregnancy was absolutely going to end in death of the baby. For most mothers it would be an exercise in torture - upsetting to the extreme and not likely to be helpful in the majority of cases.

                                                      Other than that, I didn't find any positives to this book. I strongly recommend against it and would suggest that a mother experiencing a complicated pregnancy get her information from her doctor and her own research from *reliable* and *up to date* sources. As far as bedrest goes, there is a MUCH better book on this topic. "The Pregnancy Bed Rest Book: A Survival Guide for Expectant Mothers and Their Families" by Amy E. Tracy is EXCELLENT. Buy that one instead. Personally I'm very sorry I spent the money on this book.

                                                      3 out of 5 stars It's time for a revision!.......2002-06-27

                                                      This book has some good information, but much of it is now outdated, and no longer accurate. I would hope that there is going to be a reprint soon. This book is no longer the help that it was five years ago.

                                                      I ordered this book after being put on bedrest for pre-term labor and found the chapter on this subject to be anything BUT encouraging. The author makes it sound like pre-term labor is a death sentence for your unborn baby because of the experience she had, and according to her, there is virtually no hope of having a baby anywhere near term if you have this condition. There are other subjects in the book such as Gestational Diabetes, PIH, etc, which are less drear, and I'm sure they are of help to women experiencing these conditions, but as a whole, I was disappointed with this book. After several chances, I stopped reading this book because of it's bleak outlook on a common pregnancy complication.

                                                      4 out of 5 stars Awesome!.......2000-02-16

                                                      This book is a wonderful, comprehensive source of information for many of the complications of pregnancy. Each complication is explained well. I ordered this book and I also ordered the book "Days in Waiting...A Guide to Survive Pregnancy Bedrest." This, too, is a great book, and the two books are very complimentary. These two books are essential for understanding complicated pregnancies, and coping with them, especially if you're on bedrest."

                                                      5 out of 5 stars This book saved my sanity during my "not perfect" pregnancy.......2000-01-22

                                                      This book fills a need and fills it so well. I read this book early in my pregnancy, although at that time I had no idea I would have a tough time later on. When I developed severe preeclampsia at 31 weeks, I asked my husband to go to the library right away and get this book back, and for days I read and re-read this book. Most pregnancy books seem to dismiss severe pregnancy problems as unlikely and too scary to talk much about. It's so helpful to have a source like this which talks in a realistic yet encouraging way about the very real and scary things that can go wrong with a pregnancy.

                                                      Book Description

                                                      Forewarned of Prussia's intention to declare war on France, Napoleon decided to strike first with a bold advance from Wurzburg into Saxony. On 14 October the double battle was fought: Napoleon with 96,000 men and 120 guns engaged and heavily defeated Prince Hohenlohe and General Ruchel. The decisive engagement was fought further north where Marshal Davout with 27,000 men and 40 guns routed the main Prussian army under Frederick William IV and the Duke of Brunswick. This title examines these two battles, Jena and Auerstadt in detail, showing clearly the swiftness with which Napoleon dealt Prussia's military machine a severe blow.

                                                      I read this book many years ago in its first edition and I must say that it was the book which fired my interest not only for the Jena campaign but for the Napoleonic Wars in general. The next book I bought was Chandler's monumental work "The Campaigns of Napoleon" and from then on I became fixed with the subject and studied many other titles. Surely, the in depth analysis may be lacking but the book is excellent as an introduction to that particular campaign and always useful because of its maps and chronologically organized events. I can't give it less than four stars.

                                                      I expected so much. I am disapointed at this "ad hoc" written book.

                                                      It would have been worth more had the author left the pages blank for my notes.

                                                      I try to read everything on the subject of the Jena, and I cannot readily remember a Napoleonic book that gives a stronger impression of one that was more quickly thrown together. A couple of the pictures are good, but the narrative suffers from a stunning lack of any proper anaylsis, almost as if the author was not enthusiastic about spending any in-depth treatment one the subject. In sum, it was a dissappointing treatment of one of Napoleon's best campaigns.

                                                      4 out of 5 stars "Good starting point for this particular campaign.".......1998-12-28

                                                      This book on Jena-Auerstadt does a pretty good job of introducing the reader to the complex Franco-Prussian campaign of 1806. I thought that the work seemed to be put together rather quickly, and that the battlefield photos were not labeled well enough for easy orientation. Nonetheless, the battlefield photos were a great extra for the price, and the book was a great introduction to anyone interesting in this fascinating, and my personal favorite, Napoleonic campaign.

The hunt for, and study of, these elusive objects is currently one of the most dynamic areas of research in astronomy. This volume presents review articles from a team of international authorities who assess the spectacular progress in this field in the past few years. The contributed chapters review both the latest observations and theories, making this an essential reference to one of the most exciting fields in contemporary astronomy.
