A very good comic figure reference.......2003-12-18

I got this book for my son who loves to draw and will practice endlessly when he enjoys the subject. Currently he enjoys tracing drawings to *isolate* lines and get a sense of what is actually necessary to make the entire picture. Sometimes this is difficult to picture in his head but with tracing it becomes simple... It gives him the ability to learn proportion in a *real* way...

This book is quite good for what he likes to do as the drawings are of good size and highly colored. Finished drawings are interspersed with step by steps so when he wants to go from tracing to drawing he will know what steps to take to produce the results on his own.

This book focus' on bad guys so there is text on what makes a bad guy bad...and what to add visually to put that point across (yellow teeth, baggy clothes...a scowl..etc) There are female as well as male villians and the females have the *typical*...errrr.... buxom comic book body type so perhaps for young children this would be a bit much. It is the typical style tho seen in the graphic novels so if your child is truly into the art form this is a good reference.

The text is helpful but not intrusive and the style of it is informal and conversational. I think it would appeal to a young non-serious set. There is discussion of art /drawing issues in the text (proportion issues in comics... what makes male faces male and female female...shading...etc) but I wouldn't consider this a beginner book. I think there is an expectation of some drawing ability to start with.

Overall, this is a very appealing book on alot of levels. I wish it was longer and that some of the pictures were a bit bigger but these are really minor issues for me and have mostly to do with how my son uses the pictures. The quality of the paper is very nice and heavy and the color is sharp and dramatic..excellent for the subject matter. This is quite a nice book.

this is how to draw a great looking bad guy.......2001-07-22

if you have a hard time drawing out agreat looking bad guy or gal this is a book for you i have had a great deal of drawing out some really crappy bad guys but this book has helped me draw some cool bad guys so buy it

Good book, lot's of helpfull tips........2000-12-09

I own this book, and even though i'm not planning on being a comic book artist, it helps me alot with my proportions, perspective, action posese and just plain getting things right. It's also a great book for simple shading and stuff like that. only draw back is that his art isn't always ok. He's best at his comic book characters though, and it's obvious if you look at any of his other how to draw books.

Good book, lot's of helpfull tips........2000-12-09

This book is a good follow up to How to Draw Comic Book Heroes and Villains. It touches on more subjects of making up villains, muscle structure, and other such things. This book though is not for beginners who haven't drawn before. All in all, this is a good book to have if you have already read the How to Draw Comic Book Heroes and Villains.

Natural piety .......2006-07-11

This selection is divided into four sections: The Poets Life, Memorial Poems, Sonnets, Narrative Poems. It contains many of the greatest and most memorable lyrics of Wordsworth. It is a fine introduction to his work.
Wordsworth is a poet whose connection with the natural world was cardinal to his poetry. One can feel often in his perception of the outdoor world, a soul enhanced by the very act of seeing. Much of this seeing was done in walking. And his famous definition of poetry as ' the overflow of powerful emotion recollected in tranquillity' hints that that powerful emotion came often through seeing and being in the natural world.

A pleasure to reread Wordsworth .......2005-07-03

There are many collections of the poetry of Wordsworth. This one includes almost all of those which are highly anthologized.
Wordsworth is the poet of calm and beauty in everyday life, of great simplicity and of deep reflection. It is a pleasure to reread Wordsworth and feel that there is in nature consolation, and in our sense of life a feeling of the sublime.
Wordsworth gives the sense of life in simple goodness as kind and great.
It is always a pleasure to reread Wordsworth.

Book Description

Drawing on his background as an ethnomusicologist as well as years of experience as an accomplished jazz musician, Paul Austerlitz argues that jazz--and the world-view or consciousness that surrounds it--embodies an aesthetic of inclusiveness, reaching out from its African American base to embrace all of humanity. Fans and musicians have made this claim before, but Austerlitz is the first to provide a scholarly basis for it. He examines jazz in relation to race and national identity in the U.S. and then broadens his scope to consider jazz within the African diaspora and in very different transnational scenes, from the Dominican Republic to Finland.

Based on extensive fieldwork, the book explores jazz in an extraordinary range of contexts. One of the central chapters is devoted to the history of the groundbreaking Latin jazz band of Machito and his Afro-Cubans, who were inspired by the dancing of both Harlemites and Jewish mamboniks, while the final chapter includes an extensive interview with the seminal drummer Milford Graves, one of Austerlitz's mentors, who holds that music profoundly influences our biorhythms and indeed shapes our thoughts.

Book Description

Not long after the Allied victories in Europe and Japan, America's attention turned from world war to cold war. The perceived threat of communism had a definite and significant impact on all levels of American popular culture, from government propaganda films like Red Nightmare in Time magazine to Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

This work examines representations of anti-communist sentiment in American popular culture from the early fifties through the mid-sixties. The discussion covers television programs, films, novels, journalism, maps, memoirs, and other works that presented anti-communist ideology to millions of Americans and influenced their thinking about these controversial issues. It also points out the different strands of anti-communist rhetoric, such as liberal and countersubversive ones, that dominated popular culture in different media, and tells a much more complicated story about producers' and consumers' ideas about communism through close study of the cultural artifacts of the Cold War.

Balanced treatment of anti-communism in media.......2007-02-20

Whereas much of the writing in cultural studies comes from a radical left-wing agenda, Cyndy Hendershot takes a less ideologically-charged approach to cultural studies. The result is an excellent discussion of ways in which popular culture (mainly movies) has been part of anti-communist political movements. She first looks at early anti-communist movements following World War II, providing a very clear and interesting analysis of reasons why communism in Hollywood became a concern for J. Edgar Hoover, Joseph McCarthy, and other politicans and government officials who too easily saw Red in the entertainment industry. Hendershot then elucidates intriguing themes about ways in which Hollywood became complicit in creating anti-communist films. She compares various movies, actors, plots, and political agendas in a very witty and often entertaining analysis of movies that were originally produced in all seriousness to counter the perceived left-wing bias of the Hollywood elite. The sense of humor and clever wit is a refreshing approach to studies of popular culture. What is also refreshing about her analysis is the fair way in which Hendershot examines this controversial and provocative topic. Although she rightly critiques ideologues of the right for conducting proverbial witch-hunts, she also reasonably critiques an anti-anti-communist hysteria that is part of the legacy of McCarthyism and Cold War politics. She makes strong points in showing that there is a range of diverse motivations and ideolgies within anti-communism. It is an especially important argument, and she displays a far more subtle approach in this fascinating and highly-readable study than is evident in much of the politically-correct ideology that is all too present in many studies that use postmarxist critical theory to interpret pop culture.

Book Description

Drawing on anthropology and ethnohisotry as well as the 'new military history' Indian Wars of Mexico, Canada and the United States, 1812-1900 interprets and compares the way Indians and European Americans waged wars in Canada, Mexico, the USA and Yucatán during the nineteenth century. Fully illustrated with sixteen maps, detailing key Indian settlements and crucial battles, Bruce Vandervort rescues the New World Indian Wars from their exclusion from mainstream military history, and reveals how they are an integral part of global history.
Providing a thorough examination of the strategies and tactics of resistance employed by Indian peoples of the USA, Vandervort contrasts practices of warfare with the Métis (the French Canadian-Indian peoples), their Canadian Indian allies, and the Yaqui and Mayan Indians of Mexico and Yucatán.

James C. Scott's research for this book began with an examination of the tensions between state authorities and various "unstable" individuals throughout history, from hunter-gatherer tribes to Gypsies to the homeless. He soon became fascinated, however, by the recurring patterns of failure and authoritarianism in certain social engineering programs aimed at bringing such people fully into the state's fold. Soviet collectivization, the Maoist Great Leap Forward, the precisely planned city of Brasilia--these and other projects around the world, while deeply ambitious, extracted immeasurable tolls on the people they were designed to help.

One of the most important common factors that Scott found in these schemes is what he refers to as a high modernist ideology. In simplest terms, it is an extremely firm belief that progress can and will make the world a better place. But "scientific" theories about the betterment of life often fail to take into account "the indispensable role of practical knowledge, informal processes, and improvisation in the face of unpredictability" that Scott views as essential to an effective society. What high modernism lacks is metis, a Greek word which Scott translates as "the knowledge that can only come from practical experience." Although metis is closely related to the concept of "mutuality" found in the anarchist writings of, among others, Kropotkin and Bakunin, Scott is careful to emphasize that he is not advocating the abolition of the state or championing a complete reliance on natural "truth." He merely recognizes that some types of states can initiate programs which jeopardize the well-being of all their subjects.

Although the collapse of most socialist governments might lead one to believe that Seeing Like a State is old news, Scott's analysis should prove extremely useful to those considering the effects of global capitalism on local communities.

Book Description

Why have large-scale schemes to improve the human condition in the twentieth century so often gone awry? James C. Scott analyzes diverse failures in high-modernist, authoritarian state planning-collectivization in Russia, the building of Brasilia, compulsory ujamaa villages in Tanzania, and others-and uncovers conditions common to all such planning disasters. What these failures teach us, he argues, is that any centrally managed social plan must recognize the importance of local customs and practical knowledge if it hopes to succeed.

A fascinating must read.......2007-09-25

I've found this book useful, breathtakingly so, in so many ways these days; Scott raises a question at the heart of almost all our current civic debates, even in my own micro-field of schooling and education. I find myself saying, time and again, "she's thinking like a state", and it fits and helps me resort out the arguments. Thank you thank you, Prof. Scott.

Seeing Like a State.......2007-03-29

I got this book because it was recommended as background reading for a local debate about CAFOs. I like the meticulous detail in this treatment of social engineering by governments. That is not a liberal/conservative issue, but one which is worth looking at wherever there is a risk of social control that can lead to inequality and injustice.

Hayek meets Heidegger.......2006-11-28

Brad DeLong's featured review is basically correct - Scott is treading ground remarkably similar to Hayek's. But I don't think that Scott is ignorant of Hayek. Rather, Scott is attempting to explore the same territory, but without coming to the same political conclusions. Early in this book, Scott makes clear that he is not advocating libertarianism (I am told that Scott calls himself an anarchist). He is aiming at a deeper critique of planning, one which is not merely about prices or information, but about metaphysics, epistemology and phenomenology. Scott never makes it explicit, but throughout this book, I got the sense that he is doing continental philosophy. This is a Heideggerian critique of planning - one that just happens to cover some of the same ground as Hayek.

Scott's focus is on "seeing" like a (high modernist) state; the question this book asks is: how does such a state see, and what does state-like perception systematically miss? Scott argues the state's vision is limited to the conscious, the rational, and the abstract - it cannot see beyond what Nassim Nicholas Taleb has called "the Platonic fold." This vision is identical to what continental philosophers refer to as the "objective gaze." The unconscious, the organic, the ecological and the folk-wise are invisible to the modernist bureaucracy. To make these invisible elements rationally "legible," the state reaches out and actively reduces them to known quantities. This allows the state some limited control over them, but in the process any emergent systematic properties are destroyed.

It is tempting to conclude that this book is a generalized critique of government. It is not. The mistakes Scott identifies are characteristic only of a certain type of regime, the high modernist state. High modernism, as Scott identifies it, is a sort of irrational confidence in objective rationality. It becomes possible on a large scale only after the Enlightenment, and especially after the advent of "scientific" management. It is epitomized not only by Stalin, but by Robert McNamara's Department of Defense, and the US Bureau of Reclamations. Nor is it limited to states. Systematic flaws exist in the perception of any large hierarchical organization that makes decisions on the basis of abstract calculative rationality. As such, this is ultimately a much more profound critique than Hayek's.

DeLong is right that this book is not as well-written or organized as it could have been, but the synthesis of Hayek and Heidegger is absolute genius. It makes the book a classic in my view.

Got the gist, gets lost in the details.......2006-08-31

Scott's book gets off to a very good start, arguing that the roots of "high modernism" run deep in a particular world view that grew with scientific culture, but lacks its elements of ruthless self-criticism. What impressed me was his grasp of this ideology as a culture, albeit a culture of a few. Science too is a culture, and this phenomenon is the mentality of the technicians, the engineers, the planners...once they gain power. As one who works in this milieu, although not with the power elite, it rang very true.

He also does a wonderful job of skewering the cultural and aesthetic pretensions of people like Le Corbusier, although this has been done very well by others as well. But Scott does a very good job of showing how the aesthetic was the political, although nobody would admit it.

Unfortunately, after the first two chapters or so, Scott's writing loses its force and wonders about, making no very impressive points, and relating interesting annecdotes, providing intriguing descriptions of bad situations, but not advancing or deepening his argument.

the negative nature of government.......2006-07-29

James Scott argues that the formal rules of social-engineering design inevitably leave out elements essential to their actual function. He expounds cases both in America and abroad, current and historic, that reinforce this theme. Whether planning ecosystems, cities or societies, authoritative, Scott not only hypothesizes but demonstrates that centralized plans which fail to account for local idiosyncracies will themselves fail.
I find Scott so convincing that I finished the book with a sense of dismal foreboding. Neither major political party in the U.S. listens to this message. Even conservatives, traditional advocates for smaller, less centralized government, propose strategies that violate the principles Scott delineates.
This book should be required reading for anyone in public office or on a planning commission. Then it should be read by everyone who votes for those offices so we can see the dangers of voting for people who see like a state rather than like a human being.
