5 out of 5 stars Outstanding.......2003-10-23

This guy's been painting and winning awards for 50 years! Wade is obviously a master. The instruction is on target. He is one of Australian's best loved watercolorists. Get the book. It's great.

2 out of 5 stars Elementary, Watson.......2002-08-16

This book is very basic. The artist uses his own vanity gallery to illustrate extremely rudimentary principles of art. If you're a rank beginner, you may get something out of this, otherwise, skip it. He even admits "I have never attended art school or art classes!"

5 out of 5 stars Excellent book for the serious watercolorist.......1998-10-10

Robert Wade combines both heart and skill in his painting, and writing about painting. This book is worth the price just for the pictures.

            1 out of 5 stars Pompous, Useless Drival.......2006-01-01

            Written to obscure rather than illuminate. Effectively makes simple subjects seem complex. Skip this and buy anything by Ansel Adams instead.

            1 out of 5 stars Thick, Gluey Muck!.......2003-08-09

            Don't let the beautiful cover fool you, this book contains dreadfully complex, dry text that confuses rather than enlightens. Unless you are enticed by topics such as, "Interpreting the D/Log E Curve" or "Converting Log Density Ranges" there are easily better choices. If you're looking for clarity - whether novice or advanced photography skill - buy Bryan Peterson's "Understanding Exposure." Its simplicity is effective and refreshing.

            1 out of 5 stars Poorly Written Amateur [Junk].......2003-03-02

            You can judge a photographer's skill by his/her photographs. All of the photographs in this book look like they were taken by Average Joe with a disposable camera. This book was written backwards. The book does not mention metering technique until chapter 8 (near the end of the book)! They mention handheld meters in chapter 7 but never explain proper use of them. The book never discusses studio lighting techniques or even portable (on camera) flash technique. They never discuss proper use of available light or use of lighting modifiers (reflectors, diffusers, etc . . .). Most of this book rants on and on about arbitrary +/- .25 to .5 exposure adjustments for a million different specific situations (mostly travel photographs) instead of explaining overall technique. Save your time and money. Read another book written by a professional.

            5 out of 5 stars Great book for expanding your basic knowledge of exposure........2001-03-22

            I was really impressed with this book and how it took an average photographer through the steps towards understanding exposure. There are many fundamental concepts explained in a "layman's fashion" and I would highly recommend this book. There is only one chapter that enters into deep theory which the author suggests you may want to skip or come back to later. If you want to increase your basic understanding of film exposure, natural light and how film development plays an important part, then this book is for you!

            1 out of 5 stars Too much information that is not usable.......2001-03-03

            There is too much information in this book that is way too technical or simply of no use to me. Here is a quote from the book: "With a spot meter, you can measure the log brightness range of the subject; you know that you need a log density range of around 1.1 to make a contact print on grade 2 paper: and armed with the film manufacturer's gamma/time cures, plus a good guess at the flare factor for your lens, you can select the appropriate development time."

            The photographs in the book are average to the point that when looking at them I'm thinking, "I can do better than that."

            The authors have a converstaional style in writing, and if you want ALOT of detail on exposure, maybe this is the book for you. There is 20 pages devoted to the chapter on film testing alone, a couple of paragraphs of which are devoted to describing the example negatives that are over/under exposed. The problem is, the negatives they are describing are in one of their other books! You would think that at 192 pages, they could at least include the examples they are refering to.

            The key concept in the book is ". . .think hard about how you want a given tone to 'read' in the final picture, and adjust your metering technique accordingly."

            I feel that this book contains lots of information about photography. It explains the theory of photography while using lots of pictures to help explain. This book has helped me in my understanding of photography. I will definately recommend this to a friend. The only problem about this book is its extremely high price!

                          4 out of 5 stars Grants by Virginia White.......2004-08-29

                          This volume describes the many types of grants available.
                          For instance, block grants are made to the states and municipalities. Conference grants are made for specific meetings
                          of professional and academic societies. Continuing Education
                          grants are provided to help with continuing education issues.
                          Demonstration grants are made to demonstrate the feasibility
                          of a theory or the confirmation of a hypothesis/conclusion.
                          The Foundation Center in NY is located at 888 7th Av. NY 10019.
                          The FSC Clearinghouse is another grant-making clearinghouse.
                          The Grantsmanship Center is located at 1015 Olympic CA. 90015.
                          HUD has specific guidelines for soliciting unsolicited proposals.
                          This volume describes the process for grant solicitation.
                          This process consists of the proposal phase, application and
                          post-application phase.

                          The book is a good reference for the price charged. It will be
                          useful in identifying financial sources for a plethora of grant
                          formulations by individuals and organizations.

                                An emerging U.S. grand strategy--the promotion of democracy and freedom abroad--will certainly involve the U.S. armed forces. Although they must change to meet changes in emphasis and demand, they cannot risk their historic strengths. Some areas of interest are the organization and employment of forces, planning for future conflicts, developing information resources, and fostering partnerships among the services and with allies.

                                5 out of 5 stars New to sewing? This old book is great to have!.......2005-05-18

                                And it's usually inexpensive. I picked my copy up in a used book store about 10 years ago when I started sewing again. It starts you with the basic sewing machine knowledge, to picking a pattern, all the way to the finished garment. It even has the measurement chart for pattern companies that I'm pretty sure is still in use by the Big Four (Vogue, Butterick, Simplicity, and McCall's--the only exception I know of is Vogue Today's Fit, they use new measurements). She tells you how to make your own tailor's ham; what you need for successful pressing; practice pages to copy to practice stitching a straight line; facts on fabrics and fibers; details about cutting out a pattern; shoulder pads; hand sewing in a push-button age; linings, hems, zippers, waistband, belts, making frogs--I could go on and on. I've had this book, like I said, a good 10 years (the copyright is 1967), and I learn something every time I pick it up. And Mrs. Margolis' writing is so friendly and clear, it's like learning to sew from your favorite aunt who always dressed so classy.

                                Break down and spend the couple of dollars on this book--you'll be glad you did.

                                                  Most of us who were not around during this period in history can only relate to this epic event through the massive numbers of grainy black and white photos that were taken at the time. Color photography was in its infancy at that time. The authors have scoured the photo archives of the world and come up with this stunning collection of color photographs of persons and events of one of America's defining moments. Year by year(1941-1945) groups of color photos with accompanying explanatory narrative makes this a sobering overview of global war and America's role in it. I highly recommend this colorful and comprehensive history of America at war in WWII.

                                                  The same people who were behind the outstanding video documentary "World War II, the Lost Color Archive" (UK title "The Second World War in Colour" and the disappointing book by the same (UK) title, are back on top with this one. It contains 300+ pictures on 256 pages. Arranged chronologically, each chapter has a brief intro, and good captions on the photographs, but the pictures have priority this time. They are a good selection of: pre, during, and post war images, home and war fronts, classics and the rarely seen. If you do not have a book of WWII color photos, this is perfect for you; and even if you do, I think you'll find enough new images to be happy with this. I saw this in a store and paid retail, because I didn't want to risk missing it.
