Best reference book for watercolorists I have seen!.......2007-08-05
Cathy Johnson's book was recommended in a college level class. With full-color representations and concise directions one receives guides to painting virtually every texture ever needed. Choose the bound version that one can open flatt, for easy referencing, if available. It is small enough to carry along but large enough to see clearly.
I have been trying to represent glass for years and Ms. Johnson's directions were so easy to follow my first attempt was successful!
Great book for beginners!.......2007-06-27
I just started watercolors recently and this book is a great resource as I am self taught except for a few tips picked up from acquaintances who have been painting for years. This book was recommended to me by another new to watercolors and I love it!
Great illustrations.......2007-04-07
This book is a wonderful "teacher"....the author takes you through step by step on every detail of creating textures....it is my "watercolor bible." It has helped me immensely with golf course paintings.

Your own at home special class.......2007-03-25
Have many watercolor books, magazines in an attempt to start my art hobby.
Finally, took a class and the instructor recommended this book. She brought it to class and just working with it and her added a great deal to learning technique.
Excellent resource for watercolorists at all levels of experience.......2007-01-31
I've been a collector of Cathy Johnson's books for many years, and this one fills a unique niche as a handbook and easy reference for creating wonderful textures across a wide range of subjects. Whether you need to suggest bark on a tree, falling snow, mossy rocks, weathered wood or one of dozens and dozens of other surfaces you'll find easy to understand and follow instructions that will help take your painting to the next level and beyond.
Clear, straight-forward language and outstanding demonstrations make this a book every watercolorist should add to their library, whether they paint in a photorealistic style or a more impressionistic one. It's a must-have!

Filled with common sense........2004-10-28
This is the sort of book everyone should have on a desk or bedside table. The one line thoughts are clear, compelling and insightful. They range from formal to casual, traditional to contemporary, lighthearted to deeply personal. Any truly introspective person can use a daily dose of "Thoughts" because you will find yourself on every page.
Move over Ben Franklin.......2004-10-27
Shortcuts to Life's Secrets, the Collected Thoughts of Hayes McClerkin would make Benjamin Franklin proud. Like Poor Richard's Almanac, McClerkin shares in his book a lifetime of wisdom in short essays followed by hundreds of thought provoking aphorisms. An example, "When you look out only for yourself, you are blinded as to what other people see in you." A minute a day with Shortcuts to Life's Secrets will enrich your life.
By Jim Gabler--real name
Terrific Shortcuts.......2004-10-21
I am so glad Mr. McClerkin shared his colorful "Shortcuts to Life's Secrets" so I can apply them to my everyday life experience. Mr. McClerkin's "quotes" do apply to every day living and these secrets he shared with first his family and now the public make for a much happier, practical outlook on life. If these "secrets" were shared with the younger generation, a much more intelligent, well behaved bunch of kids would burst forth. Easy, enlightening reading. Thanks, Mr. Mc

Unexpectedly weak!.......2005-07-20
Okay... Stanley Clarke is unquestionably one of the greatest bassists in history, and it's tough to figure out a lot of his lines due to their insane speed, his distinctive Alembic tone, and so forth. So this collection is certainly a great idea. The song selection is pretty good (would've liked to have seen the title track from Romantic Warrior, maybe Medieval Overture, and a few other RTF tracks instead of some of the more obscure solo stuff, but Vulcan Worlds, the Magician, and School Days alone would be worth the price of admission in my book), and the inclusion of tab along with standard staff notation is a great idea.
But the transcriptions are wildly inconsistent in quality. Vulcan Worlds is the only song I'm really familiar with, having recently transcribed most of the parts myself (I got this book primarily to check myself against an "authoritative" source and to eliminate the tedium of writing out the bass solo myself), so I can only really talk about its accuracy. All is basically well until the D minor/C minor pentatonic riff that Clarke plays in unison with Corea's fifth-tuned synthesizer (at like 0:45 I think). This is not a hard part to figure out but the transcription features some very humorous chromatic nonsense that barely resembles the correct part. The solo bass 3-dyad figure (Eb+G, Gb+Bb, F+G are the right notes) is also completely fabricated. And the funky sixteenth-note lines in and around the solos are way off. And so forth.
Other places in this song, probably other songs, seem to be accurate transcriptions of difficult-to-transcribe parts, so it's possible that some other songs I'm less familiar with would redeem this collection. As far as I can tell it's pretty useless though. A valiant attempt at a worthy goal I guess.
Lord of the Lower Frequencies Below.......2004-03-15
I had just read the review for the person who said "Where's the melody"...Well, it is a book of bass transcriptions not a whole score...but it is true that the book only has the parts Stanley played....For Example, on the songs where Stanley had another bass player playing with him...it doesnt have the part the "guest" bass player played. They chords are included of course. Hope this helps
Lord of the Lower Frequencies.......2004-03-15
I wish they had this book when I was trying to learn these songs years ago! Tab definately helps even if you can read notes...( your own fingering isnt always the easiest way to play the parts but sometimes the opposite is true though). I give it four stars cause there were some other songs I would have liked to have included and also there are no tips on how to play the songs ...but this the best book for Stanley's transcriptions I have seen. I recommend it highly.
Great Book-Where's the melody?.......2003-10-10
This a great book if your a bass player. The chords are included but I actualy bought the book looking for the melodies so I could play some of these music on keyboard since this has the only version of Vulcan Worlds and some other RTF tunes. I was hoping the the publisher would include the molody as well as the bass part and chords.

An excellent guide to an overhyped technology.......1998-06-24
Delivering Push delivers. This guide presents information for both users and developers, though I found the information for developers most useful. Unlike most of the media treatments that pushed push as the next big thing, this book stops to consider what push technologies might actually be good for.

Book Description
It is generally recognized that the war in Burma against the Japanese was as fierce as any. The Battle of Kohima was the turning point of this extraordinary campaign and personal accounts of the fighting there are greatly sought after. The author was in the thick of the action and his record is indeed a graphic and moving one.
Thereafter he was sent down to Malaya, but when the War ended, he found himself in Indonesia under the most bizarre circumstances. A bitter war of national independence from the Dutch colonial power was underway and it became necessary to employ the defeated Japanese troops to keep a semblance of order. This little known turn of events makes for the most fascinating reading and adds a new dimension to what would in any case be a first class memoir.
Amazon.com
Washington Times reporter Bill Sammon makes it clear in the opening pages of At Any Cost that he's not a big fan of Al Gore. In this fast-paced account of what happened to Florida's controversial vote, he explains how a defeated Gore desperately fought to turn things around. He starts by suggesting that tens of thousands of voters in the Florida Panhandle--Republican country--decided not to cast ballots when the media wrongly called the state for Gore early in the evening on Election Day, before all the polls had closed in the western part of the state. Without this blunder--which hasn't received nearly the attention heaped on the media for prematurely calling the election for George W. Bush several hours later--Sammon believes Gore would have given up his post-election campaign much sooner. Sammon also believes this had repercussions outside Florida: "If not for the networks' early and erroneous projections, Bush might have easily won the popular vote, and carried a few congressional seats with him."
The bulk of the book zeros in on Gore and his goal of "seizing the presidency." In one nifty bit of reporting, Sammon tracks down a navy lieutenant whose military ballot Gore's lawyers were determined to throw out. Sammon describes the unseemly spectacle of their success:
When the [Duval County] canvassing board announced that the ballots of 149 soldiers, sailors, and airmen had been disqualified, a pair of jubilant Gore lawyers exchanged high-fives. A Republican, visibly shaken by this sight, demanded to know how they could celebrate the disenfranchisement of U.S. military members risking their lives around the world. One of the Gore lawyers glibly replied, "A win's a win."
Sammon also covers all that business about the chads, Gore's "smear campaign" against Secretary of State Katherine Harris, and the Supreme Court's controversial Bush v. Gore ruling. This is by no means the definitive story of what happened in Florida, but it's a useful piece of journalism--and one that Bush's supporters will read with that heady mixture of outrage and excitement that politics uniquely provides. --John J. Miller
Book Description
An inside story of exactly how Al Gore dragged a one-day presidential election into a five-week ordeal and nearly pulled off the largest act of political larceny ever in American politics.
Customer Reviews:
Another great book by Bill Sammon.......2007-10-05
Bill Sammon's books although completely factual read like political thrillers. I loved 'Strategery' and 'Misunderestimated' for this same reason.
'At Any Cost', is another behind the scenes type book about the Bush v. Gore fiasco in Florida. One glaring reality in the book is that democrats are incapable of punching a hole through a piece of cardboard. Do we really want these people making decisions about the presidency?
Sammon wonderfuly lays out the play and counter play of the opposing attorneys. As always he makes it impossible not to like Bush and his administration.
This is the event that reduced Al Gore to the doomsday-preaching imbecile and Hollywood suckup we see today.
Gore's other running mate........2007-07-07
Another important note in this sordid history is that Al Gore enlisted the support of Jesse Jackson as a surrogate at presidential campaign rallies across the country; all expenses paid, without having to expose himself to media scrutiny.[1]
The strategy was to paint Bush as a racist and it was a huge success. In all, Jackson gave more than 150 speeches across the country and the Democratic National Committee funneled more than $450,000 to Jackson's "Keep Hope Alive" political action committee as reimbursement for "travel expenses" that had already been paid.[2] Imagine the public outrage if the National Rifle Association went in a corporate jet paid for by RNC soft money to campaign on behalf of G.W Bush.
Before the vote had even been tallied, Gore anticipated his loss and decided to contest the outcome and, following a script provide by Gore's media handlers,[3] Jackson focused on Haitian-American's who were allegedly denied assistance "and" other African-Americans he claimed were held at roadblocks across Florida and otherwise denied access to voting machines. [4] Isn't it odd that, to this day, not a single civil rights lawsuit has ever been filed from among the hundreds of complaints alleged by the Gore/Jackson team? How is it possible that an African-American wouldn't file a lawsuit? There were no individual complainants, only faceless phantoms brought to life to stir racial hatred and it has been reported that it convinced many Republican voters in the west to change their votes when the terrible news was broadcast.
In the final analysis, Yale University scholar, John R. Lott, found that the reality was just the opposite. "If spoiled ballots do indicate disenfranchisement, then the new data show that, by a dramatic margin, the group most victimized in the Florida voting was African-American Republicans," Lott wrote. In fact, black Republicans were "in excess of 50 times more likely than the average African-American to have had a ballot declared invalid." This, due to the ridiculous "hanging chad" debacle.
The Democratic Party's performance in that election and the 2004 election were not so much a DNC monster as liberal media horsepower. For reasons debated across the board, the major [sometimes called "elite"] media support liberal candidates by an 8 to 10 ratio by the most recent polls. Anyone interested in reading this book will be savvy enough to understand why this is true. It might be of interest to know that the military is nearly 95% conservative but are not allowed to campaign or even discuss politics due to potential conflict of interest. Can you see how easy it is for the young military service member to be influenced by the powerful personalities in the media?
There was a Senator, years ago, called Joseph McCarthy who ruined the lives of many artists, including some in the media, until common sense was restored. What are we to do when the media is the monster driving our politic, society, culture and the direction of our children?

Pointless drivel........2007-04-13
Extreme boredom compelled me to start reading this book - profound boredom compelled me stop. Bill Sammon blabs on endlessly at a grade-school level about nothing in particular, occasionally detouring to drop a fishy-sounding factoid on the reader before rambling on again. Though I could not bring myself finish this book, I can't imagine there being a point to all this - especially since history has revealed Gore actually should have won the election, having gotten more VOTES. I'm surprised this is still in print.
"Gore won that election"????? .......2005-09-23
Gore did in fact win the popular vote, the same popular vote that Bush won over Kerry in 2004 which some democrats said didn't mean anything. But Bush won the electoral college vote and won over 32 states to Gore. Al Gore couldn't even carry his own state.
In 2004, Gore couldn't even win a place on the democrat ticket, turned his back on his friend Joe Lieberman and endorsed that nutcase Howard Dean only because Dean was at that time the front runner and Gore no doubt expected Dean to reciprocate by asking him to be his running mate.
As I see it, in every event, Gore is a loser. In fact I even dedicated a song on my local radio station to Gore in 2000 and did the same for Kerry in 2004. The song was an old Beatles song called "I'm A Loser." Sure fits doesn't it?
Worth re-reading again and again!.......2005-08-30
A lot of times when I am waiting for my new batch of books to come in, I'll re-read an old one. I did just that with At Any Cost and it made my blood boil all over again.
When will the democrats ever run a clean campaign? Although this election was nearly five years ago, the furor still lives on. Al Gore and his band of democrat thieves tried to pull every dirty trick in the book to win. Unfortunately for Al, but fortunately for Americans, it didn't work.
What dirty trick? From throwing out military votes to getting the major networks to pre-call an early win for Gore and discourage voters from even going to the booths (kinda of like the fake exit polls we saw in 2004 on election day) to bringing up things in Bush's past from 25 years before just 3 days before the election, clearly this band of thieves would go as low as possible to win. Then acted like a bunch of crybabies when they lost.
In looking back and even when talking to other democrats, it's interesting that now, after seeing the real Al Gore, even those who voted for Gore are glad he lost.
This man is no gentleman. Who used his sisters death from cancer as a means of exploitation to speak against tobacco use in one campaign and then when speaking in North Carolina some time later, bragged about how he picked up tobacco as a child. Clearly this is a man who will do and say anything to get a vote.
His carrying on post election and acting like a spoiled kid. Screething and yelling reminiscent of Teddy Kennedy. His support for Howard Dean when he was the front runner shows clearly that Al Gore has poor taste and lousy judgement. Who would have wanted this jerk (Gore or Dean)as our President?
If you haven't already read this book I highly recommend it. Also recommend the 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America. Gore and Dean justifiably both made the list, in fact the top 20. I also recommend Prince Albert: The Life and Lies of Al Gore. This man is no saint. He would have made a horrible president. Thank God Americans voted for the right man for the right job at the right time....GEORGE W. BUSH!

Customer Reviews:
Excellent Reference.......2006-01-16
First off, this is not an identification guide. It is a run down of birding locations in Minnesota. Overall, it is an excellent reference to WHERE one can find certain bird species throughout the state.
My sister loves it!.......2001-10-25
I noticed that the only review of this book was negative, so I had to respond. I just visited my sister in Minnesota, and gave this book to her for her birthday. She loves it! It is not a field guide for identification, but has very specific information about locality of birds, and what seasons they are there. She said she can plan day trips for birding, with the help of this book. It was also fascinating reading! She also has Birds of Minnesota Field Guide by Stan Tekiela, which is a good companion book to bring along. Or any good bird field guide would do.
Not what I hoped.......2000-08-28
I assumed that every book about birds would have many pictures of birds. This did not. The few pictures contained lanscapes, but no birds. I wanted a book to help identify the birds in Minnesota. This is definately not it!

This author must fly with the birds!.......1998-01-04
Kim Eckert has written the definitive birders' guide to Minnesota birding. With detailed maps, species records and useful anecdotes, Kim makes finding even the most unusual birds possible. One might think that Kim flies with the birds--how else would he know their habits so well?
Kim is known as one of the United State's most skilled and competent trip leaders. He is also known by those who have the pleasure of working with him as a gentleman.
This guide is a must for anyone interested in birding some of the hottest sites in the United States. As most birders know, upper Minnesota can be most exciting in the winter, and Kim shows us that this region and the rest of the state has much to offer throughout the year.
If you plan to bird in Minnesota, don't leave home without taking Kim Eckert along...get this book!
