its a good book for when your getting started.
easy to understand straight forward over all
very good

What do you use?.......2007-04-01

Being a complete beginner with airbrushes I found this book a little too advanced for me. I have been looking for a publication that gives the basic items and exercises to start using this art form. The airbrush I purchased seems to want to paint in 25cm strips and I don't know how to adjust anything on it. This publication didn't help in that respect or what to use and how to obtain the paint or ink or whatever and how and what to use to thin certain paint products. Probably a good book when you have been able to master the basics of the airbrush.

Not Detailed Enough.......2007-03-31

I was rather disappointed by this book. It has about 5 or six pages of text , doesn't go into enough detail about paints, where to get them, whether to dilute them, and how much, and other things. Most of the book was more like a portfolio of "Look, I did this & this & this" not enough pictures of the steps in creating the drawings.

Disappointing.......2006-08-01

As a beginner I feel I almost wasted my money. It actually doesn't tell tou "HOW" to do things, it tells you "DO" this and "DO" that, "DRAW" a line hear... It doesn't explain why they use light colors first in some projects, darker tones first in others (so how do I procede??). Though half of the book is addressed to T-shirt airbrushing, no instructions are given on how to prepare cotton for your paintjob, how to heat-fix the colors...
No instructions at all are given on the most important aspect of double-action airbrushing: dosing the trigger for air and/or color. You always read "draw", "smooth" here, "shade" this. My credit card account shaded... HOW TOs books are supposed to tell you HOW TO DO things, not just tell "ok, now DO this and DO that". Im really aggravated... but it's just a book.
I will PRACTICE the airbrush and look for another guide.

Fair book but, not for the beginner........1999-07-08

Excellent graphics. Great quality in the physical aspect of the book and the colored graphics contianed in it. But, it definitely does not help the beginner much. It jumps steps and the photographs do not help to decipher what the author is trying to explain. Not for the NOVICE

A great sci-fi comic!.......2000-04-12

Pixy Junket shows another interesting possibility of how our future may transform into an unknown setting.

The artwork is okay, but not as good as other artwork in manga but the story seems to grab the majority of our attention rather then criticising on the fair yet dull drawings.

Songs that even fit a Catholic Mass.......2006-03-23

I am sure most Christian non-catholics already know most of this music, however we Catholics can be a bit behind where up to date music is concerned.
Starting a Catholic Youth band can be tough. Finding songs that are liturgically correct and that the teens love at the same time is quite a challenge. This book along with "Here I am to Worship 2" make it easy. The songs are current praise songs and have enough staying power they fit well into any youth service, including a Catholic Mass. I highly recommend this for all Christian faiths!

Book Description

Migrant workers and their families outnumber refugees and displaced persons, but are given far less attention when it comes to the international protection of their rights. Indeed, to be an economic migrant today carries with it a stigma in a word where barriers to voluntary international migration are growing ever higher. This timely work evaluates the international protection of the rights of migrant workers and their families in countries of employment focusing on their economic, social, cultural, political, and residence rights. The book begins with an overview of international labour migration and its relationship to the right to development. It examines the rights of migrant workers as aliens in general international human rights law as well as the specific efforts and measures of the International Labour Organization and the United Nations. The final part contains a comprehensive case study of the multifarious standards adopted under the auspices of the Council of Europe and the European Union to protect this increasingly vulnerable group of human beings.

Book Description

A brilliantly researched, widely praised investigation into our society's treatment of animals, Dominion is perhaps the most influ-ential book on the issue since Peter Singer's Animal Liberation- pinpointing scientific and religious practices that endorse unnecessary cruelty toward animals. His explorations include: -A hellish industrial farm where animals with open sores and broken limbs live their entire lives in darkness -The annual convention of Safari Club International, where the world's wealthy spend millions to hunt exotic game - including 'retired' zoo animals -Laboratories where tens of thousands of animals are afflicted with tumors, disease, and lesions in order to test nonessential consumer products. Dominion is a groundbreaking work-timely, emotionally catalyzing, fortified with intelligence and passion.

All Politicians, Religious Leaders and Teachers Should Read Dominion!.......2007-09-30

I am a yoga teacher, author, advocate for the humane treatment of animals and former elected official. The great philosophers and teachers through the ages have urged us to consider all aspects of our lives, including how we treat animals. "Dominion" is one of the most powerful, reasonable, scientifically sound books I have read on the subject of animal welfare, a subject that is even closer to my heart than yoga. I have read dozens of books on animal rights, interviewed Gail Eisnitz, author of "Slaughterhouse," (also highly recommended) and researched many aspects of animal welfare. "Dominion" is so well-written and researched that it is a book you can confidently give your local and national elected officials, your minister or other religious leader, your friends,your family, your chef --- anyone who needs to wake up to the moral obligation we owe the animals over which we have dominion.

Rambling and meandering - - but interesting and compelling.......2007-09-07

This book forcefully stakes out a compromise position, which is a difficult trick. Though a conservative Republican, Scully rejects his side's dominionist views on nature. Man may have been given dominion over the earth and its creatures, but Scully does not believe that this gives us the right to harm and exploit other beings. Yet he also rejects the pure animal rights position, and believes that man can use animals for our own good. In short, dominion may given humans some rights, but it also comes with responsibilities: we must treat animals humanely, and with dignity.

Unfortunately, the book often rambles. Scully doesn't write a tight argument but throws out ideas and then plays with them for a while. Many of the chapters include some journalistic fieldwork, such as a visit to a pig farm or the Safari Club. In such cases, Scully sometimes substitutes outrage over bad behavior for actual argument.

The book is also too long - - some arguments are spread over several chapters, and some ideas recur in multiple places. A strong editor could have forced him to tighten up both the prose and the argument. Still, the book reads well and Scully finds it easy to carry the reader along.

By the end of the book it struck me as particularly bizarre that this guy is a Republican speechwriter who has worked for G. W. Bush in both Texas and Washington. He distrusts the market because it assigns utilitarian values to things instead of relying on moral values. He dislikes the National Rifle Association and has pro-wildlife and other environmental sensibilities. He's a vegetarian. His only Republican issue is abortion, and he rightly sees the connections between the rights of fetuses, animals, and indeed all life. Perhaps that's enough, but did he know that there are pro-life Catholic Democrats?

Oddities aside, the book is consistently interesting, and will challenge people on all sides of these debates. Well worth reading.

Good stewards of animals.......2007-07-16

This book changed my life. What does "dominion" of animals really mean in the book of Genesis? This author proposes that we are to be good stewards of animals. Although the book obviously touches on religion, it also gets into many other viewpoints. It is well rounded.

Animal rights for conservatives.......2007-05-13

It's nice to hear a conservative voice for speak up for animal rights. Vegetarianism is usually associated with political and religious liberals. I am both, but it was refreshing to hear arguments from a new point of view. As for his conservative cred, he was a speech writer for Bush. I think this will help conservatives understand that this issue isn't just a liberal thing.

Dominion: A Comprehensive Discussion of Our Treatment of Animals.......2007-03-02

"Why," asks Matthew Scully in the opening chapter of his book _Dominion_, "when it comes to dominion, are we always stern literalists in the subduing parts and scornful skeptics in the peace-bringing parts?" Referring to a Biblical passage which gives humans dominion over the animals, in this book Scully explores contemporary ethics and practices regarding our treatment and use of animals.

At the time he wrote Dominion, Matthew Scully worked as an assistant and speechwriter for George W. Bush, and in his acknowledgements has kind words to say about our president. The topic of animal rights is one too often sidestepped by conservative writers like Mr. Scully, and it is good to see it treated here judiciously and with such good taste.

Unlike the arguments of those who would deny animals even the most basic kindnesses, Dominion is coherent, precise, broad, and deep. It is both unsettling and inspiring, and probably the best book on animal ethics it has been my pleasure to read.

Great bird guide addition.......2003-12-13

I think this book is a great book for birders. It helped me learn birds by where I was (habitat), where in the past I had no real way of having core knowledge to build on for what birds I would see based on what type of habitat I was in (I'm not an expert birder). I've never seen another field guide done this way and I think it's a great way to catagorize birds.

The pictures are great and the stories along with the identification info make this book a good read. I really enjoyed the Raven and Wolf story.

I recommend birders add this book to their collection.

Great field guide for the Rockies.......2003-06-04

This book has helped me a great deal. The species accounts are very informative. The photography is beautiful. I think this would be great for both new and experienced birds who live in or plan on visited the Rockies.
