Great source of information.......2007-07-18

the book gives concise information on all aspects of the pattern welded blade. A great how to on billet building, forging the pattern, and completing to finished blade.

Hrisoulas's penultimate work!.......2005-12-09

If you've read the author's previous books you will find some repetition (e.g., workshop, materials, weights, measures, compounds) yet this book really delves in-depth into the art of pattern-welding like no other I've read. It's his shortest book too, for that matter, but it really delivers on topic. You will learn everything you need to know to begin making stunning, functional Damascus creations. Well written, well illustrated, and very well done!

Book Description

Though composed of contemporary art, The People's Art refers to the long-standing Dutch democratic tradition of openness and tolerance. Dutch art, as the ironic corollary to the man-made, highly organized and regulated Dutch landscape, orchestrates an alien Nether land in which it is possible to present the unfathomable and think the unthinkable.

Book Description

Over the past three decades, Tom Waits has achieved the kind of top-shelf cult status most artists only dream about. In his varied career, he has acted alongside Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, and Lily Tomlin; his songs have been covered by artists as diverse as Bruce Springsteen, Sarah McLachlan, the Eagles, and the Ramones; he’s won two Grammys, a Golden Globe, and been nominated for an Oscar; he’s coined unforgettable phrases like “better a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy” and “champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends”; and he’s made anyone who’s ever listened to his music just that much cooler.

Here is Tom Waits in all his mischievous splendor. From a New Yorker “Talk of the Town” in 1976 to an interview by Terry Gilliam in 1999; from album reviews by Luc Sante and David Fricke to conversations with Elvis Costello and Roberto Benigni; from a recent profile in GQ to “20 Questions” in Playboy and reviews of Waits’s acclaimed new album, Real Gone, this is the must-have book for every fan of the artist Beck has described as a “luminary,” and for music fans everywhere.

Keeping Track of Articles........2007-08-15

If you're a fan of an artist, it's difficult, time-consuming and expensive to keep track of all the interviews and articles written about your favourite artist. Fans of Tom Waits can rest assured - the most interesting articles and interviews are collected in this book, in chronological order, with a foreword by Frank Black of the Pixies.
Reading all these interviews and articles consecutively, you get a taste of the elusive Tom Waits - sometimes truthful, often wickedly confabulating and evading queries, but always amusing.
A must for Tom Waits' fans.

a must for tom waits fans........2007-02-10

this is a thoroughly enjoyable book consisting of all things tom waits: interviews, reviews, articles, and such. mr waits comments on his approach to songwriting were the most consistently interesting aspect of the book for me and should be of great interest (for freshness of/and or off-kilter approach to song building) to all aspiring songsters. lacking a biography or autobiography, the world, for now, will have to make do with this well done book for an insight into this amazing artist.

Step Right Up and have a chat with the man himself........2007-01-16

Excellent book. This book is a collection of interviews, show reviews and magazine and newspaper articles spanning Waits's career. Most of the interviews are from the perspective of the average reporter who has no way of getting at the center of the Waits Tutsie Roll Pop ("How many licks does it take to get to the center?") and that provides an interesting perspective in that the reader gets to see how Waits chooses to portray himself. However, some of the interviews are done by close friends, like Elvis Costello and Jim Jarmusch ("Down by Law" and "Night on Earth"), and the reader gets a glimpse of maybe who the true Waits is. It's a great contrast even if it wasn't intended to be the focus of the collection.
Another captivating aspect of the book is that the reader is provided details about all the unique methods Waits uses to make his music. For example, on "The Earth Died Screaming", sound effects are made by having people bang sticks and 2x4s on the pavement of the studio parking lot.
A must have for any Waits fan!
And it's nearly 400 pages long!!

Multiple perspectives on Waits.......2006-06-03

In the absence of an autobiography, this collection of 38 interviews and profiles is essential for the Tom Waits fan. It opens with a foreword by Frank Black and an introduction by Mac Montandon.

Part One: Early Years, contains the following amongst many others: The 1974 press release for Heart Of Saturday Night by Waits himself; A short interview with Clark Peterson of Creem magazine from 1978 titled The Slime Who Came In From The Cold; from 1976, there is an article from Sweet & Sour, a long Zig Zag interview and a New Yorker article.

The 1977 Rolling Stone piece by David McGee is very informative and from 1979 there is a short Washington Post article. This section also contains a poem by Charles Bukowski with a short introduction noting that it captures the entire Waitsian world.

In Part Two: The Middle Years, I found the following to be the most compelling: Peter Sabbag's in-depth 1987 article from the Los Angeles Times Magazine, a long formal question and answer interview by Glen O'Brien in a 1985 Spin magazine, 20 Questions from a 1988 Playboy and another question and answer interview from 1989 with Elvis Costello in Option.

Part Three: These Days, offers inter alia the following informative pieces: A 1999 Billboard review of Mule Variations and a short 1999 live review by Jon Pareles from the New York Times. From the same year there is a short review by Luc Sante in The Village Voice and an engaging conversational piece by David Fricke in Rolling Stone. There is also a short question and answer session from a 2004 Vanity Fair.

This section concludes with Nirvana, a 1992 poem by Charles Bukowski. It was included because in an interview with Soma magazine in 2002, Waits referred to this as his favorite poem. The book concludes with a Discography and a Timeline from Waits' birth on 7th December 1949 to the release of his 2004 album Real Gone. The book documents his entire career and is perhaps better than any biography as it contain so many perspectives from so many different writers.

If Tom's Work Intrigues You...........2006-03-16

Tom Waits is enigmatic and flies under the commercial music radar. His work is interesting and deals with a part of life few people really care to discover. It's cool to read anything about Tom and try to discover what makes him tick. He's a human-interest story. The thing I think is weird about the book is that it seems most of the authors adopt a writing style imitative of Wait's work. It makes the authors seem pretentious and unauthentically(word?) bohemian. It is interesting reading because of the subject matter.

Good for beginners, but...........2006-10-25

This is a pretty good book for beginners and has many of the essential elements necessary to begin playing trumpet, like fingerings, posture, and related basic material. That being said, more explanation of some techniques would be helpful, as well as suggestions about ways to practice, recordings to listen to, and maybe even some trumpet history. Though I recommend this book for beginners, a good supplement to it that includes all of the items listed above is: 'Sound the Trumpet: How to Blow Your Own Horn."

Great for Beginners.......2003-11-12

First off, this book is for TRUMPET.

The "Essential Elements 2000: A Comprehensive Band Method" is a great book for a young person who is learning an instrument for the first time. There is a fingering chart in the back of the book to make looking up fingerings quick and easy. The book starts off very basic with the parts of the instrument. The easiest notes to play and finger are presented first with exercises to practice them. This book comes with a play-along CD. This CD includes all solo exercises.

Hal Leonard also offers (though not through Amazon) band sets for band directors. They are simple arrangements of music that correlate with the book. They are great for the first concert.

There is an older version of this book called "Essential Elements: A Comprehensive Band Method". The book is purple and has many of the same features as this one, but the CDs have to purchased separately.

Book Description

The Childhood Environment and Adult Disease Chairman: D.J.P. Barker 1991 A relationship between events in prenatal life or early childhood and subsequent disease, physical or mental, in adulthood has previously been difficult to pin down, and open to speculation rather than analysis. It is now possible in epidemiological studies to relate measurable aspects of neonatal health to measures of disease in adult life. This wide-ranging symposium is the first to draw together the various strands in this new research area. The links between early growth and the risk of high blood pressure, stroke and coronary heart disease in adult life are explored. Poor growth of babies is shown to be related to the inadequate growth and nutrition of mothers. Mediating factors being investigated include levels of blood cholesterol and clotting factors. The fetal response to intrauterine stress is being studied in a sheep model; other studies in primates are examining the relation between early nutrition (breast or formula feeding) and later cholesterol metabolism, with the possible disease implications. Dietary manipulation studies in preterm babies are revealing the long-term effects of early nutrition on cardiovascular and neurodevelopmental measures. Other chapters consider the connections between early nutrition (including that of the mother and even the grandmother) and the immune system. Infections in childhood may have even longer-term effects, with evidence that the epidemiology of polio 40 years ago is being mirrored by that of motor neuron disease. Critical periods in the development of the brain and the visual system, when vulnerability to damage may be greatest, are analysed. The possible origin of schizophrenia in pathological processes in fetal and perinatal life is another instance where developmental events and adult disease (this time in the psychological arena) may be causally related. Finally, the consequences of adverse early experiences for adult psychosocial functioning are described in longitudinal studies in humans, and in studies on rhesus monkeys, in which the harmful effects of stress in infancy on adult behaviour can nevertheless be overcome by rearing by nurturant foster mothers.

Book Description

Unconquered explores the complex world of Iroquois warfare, providing a narrative overview of nearly two hundred years of Iroquois conflict during the colonial era of North America. Detailing Iroquois wars against the French, English, Americans, and a host of Indian enemies, Unconquered builds upon decades of modern scholarship to reveal the vital importance of warfare in Iroquois society and culture, at the same time exploring the diverse motivations that guided Iroquois warfare. Economic competition and rivalry for trade were important factors in Iroquois warfare, but they often provided less motivation for waging war than Iroquoian spiritual and cultural beliefs, including the important tradition of the "mourning war." Nor were European agendas particularly important to Iroquois warfare, except in that they occasionally coincided with Iroquois designs. Europeans influenced and incited, both directly and indirectly, conflict within the Iroquois League and with other Indian nations, but the peoples of the Iroquois League waged war according to their own cultural beliefs and by their own rules. In reality, the Iroquoi League rarely waged war against anyone. Rather its individual member nations drove the warfare often attributed to the whole, creating a shifting, amorphous political and military position that allowed member nations to pursue separate policies of war and peace against common foes and multiple enemies. Unconquered also seeks to dispel longstanding beliefs about the invincible Iroquois "empire," myths that have been dispelled by focused academic studies, but still retain a powerful resonance among popular conceptions of the Iroquois League. While the Iroquois created far-reaching networks of trade and destroyed or dispersed Indian peoples along their borders, they created no expansive territorial empires. Nor were Iroquois warriors unequaled in battle. Europeans, Americans, and Indians defeated Iroquois warriors and burned Iroquois villages as often as they tasted defeat, and on more than one occasion they brought the Iroquois League to the brink of utter ruin. Yet the Iroquois were never completely destroyed. Because they waged war as individual members of a loosely united, voluntary league, rather than as a unified political state, they remained unconquered, retaining influence and power longer than any other native nation in North America, and providing for their exulted status in the history of American Indian peoples during the age of European colonization.

Book Description

The events of September 11, 2001, forever changed the world as we knew it. In their wake, the quest for international order has prompted a reshuffling of global aims and priorities. In a fresh approach, Gilles Kepel focuses on the Middle East as a nexus of international disorder and decodes the complex language of war, propaganda, and terrorism that holds the region in its thrall.

The breakdown of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process in 2000 was the first turn in a downward spiral of violence and retribution. Meanwhile, a neo-conservative revolution in Washington unsettled U.S. Mideast policy, which traditionally rested on the twin pillars of Israeli security and access to Gulf oil. In Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan, a transformation of the radical Islamist doctrine of Bin Laden and Zawahiri relocated the arena of terrorist action from Muslim lands to the West; Islamist radicals proclaimed jihad against their enemies worldwide.

Kepel examines the impact of global terrorism and the ensuing military operations to stem its tide. He questions the United States' ability to address the Middle East challenge with Cold War rhetoric, while revealing the fault lines in terrorist ideology and tactics. Finally, he proposes the way out of the Middle East quagmire that triangulates the interests of Islamists, the West, and the Arab and Muslim ruling elites. Kepel delineates the conditions for the acceptance of Israel, for the democratization of Islamist and Arab societies, and for winning the minds and hearts of Muslims in the West.

Insights on Islam.......2005-09-16

Gilles Kepel provides an insightful, European perspective on relations between the West and Islam. As the title suggests, he does not see the two locked in intractable conflict. Muslims, like the West, are divided. The interests of the Saudi government are separate from those of the Wahhabite preachers; salafists can be distinguished from other Sunnis, and salafists themselves can be divided into pietists and jihadists. His description of the problems of the Muslims in Europe is particularly valuable and suggests issues that the American news media barely touches. His chapter on the dilemmas that face Saudi Arabia is also enlightening. The significance he places on the collapse of the Oslo agreement puts developments in the Middle East in an unusual perspective.

Unfortunately, his view of neoconservatives and the Bush administration is akin to Michael Moore's. It is somewhat more subtle, but hardly as profound as his understanding of the politics of Islam.

Nonetheless, that understanding makes the book invaluable, perhaps essential.

Triumph of Political Correctness over Facts.......2005-08-24

This book was a major disappointment after the author's brilliant work JIHAD. Jihad was published just as the US was destroying the Taliban, and I had hoped that this work would bring us up to date with the invasion of Iraq. I immediately noticed that Kepel did not bother to correct his characterization of US tactics in Afghanistan as "carpet-bombing", which it wasn't. Then he referred to photos of American "sexual abuse and torture" of Iraqi prisoners (which was more like hazing) while calling videos of the beheading of a screaming American youth as "mistreatment." Events have shown Kepel's earlier theory that Islamic fundamentalism is falling apart is quite correct, losing out to a rising tide of democracy in Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, and even Saudi Arabia, but he sort of goes off the rails to talk about the Islamic diaspora in Europe and elsewhere as the hope for the future. I guess he's afraid of not getting invited to the right cocktail parties in Paris if he endorsed anything to do with American policy.

Good book, despite what some say.........................2005-08-07

This book is an easy to read, somewhat easy to understand wrapup of what is currently happening with the Global War on Terror and the fight for Muslim hearts and minds. The author does a great job in explaining some of the differences in the Salafist community and also in pointing out that Wahhabists are Salafists, but not necessarily of the Bin Laden strain, something that many people in the West just don't get.

However, if there were any down sides for me, it was the part about the fight in Europe for Muslim hearts and minds. It focuses, somewhat understandbly, on France. There are fights going on all around Europe and I think the author could have done a better job bringing that to light. I also feel that although he demonstrates the conflicts within the Muslim community in Europe, one needs to realize that these issues trasncend national borders, although each government is trying to deal with its specific Muslim community, rather than getting that Europe needs to deal with this issue in a better fashion from Spain to Germany.

As for one of the poor reviews implying that the author is not facing the truth regarding the 2000 intifidah, she is incorrect. It did start when Sharon visited the Dome of the Rock (not sure if that was it) for the Arabs. Yes, other Knesset officials may have visited it, but none like Sharon. For the Palestinians, that was the event that triggered the uprising, regardless of whether this is superficial analysis or not. In the Arab world, as in all other places, perception is reality. This is something that too many Westerners fail to comprhend when dealing with Muslims...............there is not necessarily one truth.

Poorly argued.......2005-03-10

Gilles Kepel is a really bright person, but this is one terrible book. His idea is that Muslims may reject violence as counterproductive and instead achieve the acceptance of their wisdom by convincing us all. In return for accepting their wisdom, they will accept our advice to be non-violent about it. As for those who reject the truth of what they have to say, well, they'll simply shame us all into accepting their wisdom. Did I use the word wisdom a little too much? If so, it is because I think this book needs more of it. Much more of it.

Kepel never seems to get around to condemning Arab propaganda. And in an age where the international information supply has been seriously contaminated by arbitrary antizionist untruths, I think this is a serious oversight.

First we see Kepel misrepresent the 2000 Intifada as the work of Sharon, who clearly provoked the Arabs by visiting the Temple Mount, and Arafat, who clearly provoked the Jews by killing them in bunches.

But this is nonsense. Jewish members of the Knesset had been visiting the Temple Mount, which is Judaism's holiest site, on a regular basis. If non-Muslims were to start a war just because an Arab leader visited the Kaaba, we'd all regard this as an absurd excuse. Kepel just adds to the problem by pretending that this is reasonable.

This is a serious problem with the whole book, because truth is central to the theme. If Muslims are going to support truth, they may get their way without violence. If they are fighting truth, they will not be able to convince others or shame them into agreeing. The only options left will be violence or apology.

The author is convincing when he says that Israeli settlements do annoy some Arabs. Now, these settlements are on disputed land. They ought to be as legal as Arab settlements. But let's forget all that. Let us think only of justice and truth and human rights. Here is where Kepel falls apart. He keeps implying that in a just world, Israel would be trimmed down to size. And that even if the settlements are legal, if Israel had to fend for itself, without anyone supporting it or attacking it, the size of Israel would decrease to something more reasonable.

Kepel has it totally wrong. Israel has over 6 million people and over 5 million Jews. In a just world, all else being equal, Israel would be much bigger. And this is the core of the problem. The present size of Israel is not a crime against Nature. If anything, it is like low tide at the beach: one is making a big mistake if one expects the water to recede from it for the rest of the day.

The author admits that some folks support Israel here. But he blames this support on a few "neoconservatives," implying that they are fighting against reality. The truth is that the Arab side is fighting against justice and reality, and that such a war can't be won in the long run.

Once Kepel avoids saying that in a just world, Israel would be much bigger, it is easy for him to present Muslim violence as the wrong means for antizionist Muslims to convince others of their essential reasonableness. And in his discussion of Europe, he concludes that European Islam will emerge with a "universalist perspective, freed from the straitjacket of authoritarianism and corruption." Now, I do admit that the author is a learned and intelligent person. And he may be right! But as far as I am concerned, he could not have made a less convincing case.

Utopic. Islamic Insurrection is not imploding. .......2005-02-13

The author develops an original argument that the Islamic insurrection is imploding on its own. In other words, Osama bin Laden's Jihad is viewed as intolerable terror against innocent civilians by a majority of Muslims. Over time, the Muslim peace lovers will progressively dwarf the ranks of the Jihadists.

In the author's mind, this is especially true if the U.S. gets out of the way and stop waging an ill fated War on Terror that keeps throwing oil on the fire of the Jihad movement. He makes a case that the U.S. ongoing backing of Israel and its invasion of Iraq have strongly boosted Al Qaeda's ranks.

The author belongs to the camp that believe that the Islamic insurrection is almost solely a counter reaction to U.S. foreign policy. It certainly is a factor, but how can it be the main driver? 9/11 was totally unsolicited. Also, prior act of terrorism were more often than not caused by the U.S. government becoming friendlier towards various Middle Eastern ones rather than the opposite. Thus, whether the U.S. supports or attacks a Middle Eastern state, it appears as justification for act of Islamic terrorism. What kind of rational is that.

The Pew Global Attitudes surveys and current events don't support any of the author's original arguments. Osama bin Laden's aura is ever increasing. Islam is becoming increasingly fundamentalist and violent throughout the Middle East and Africa. Wherever it overlaps with Christian population bloodshed results more often than not executed by the Muslims and suffered by the Christians such as in Somalia, Rwanda, and Sudan.

So, the main thesis of letting Islam extremism implode on its own just does not hold well to any reality check. Right now it is picking up steam big time.

Instead, I recommend a far more prescient book on the subject: Samuel Huntington's "The Clash of Civilizations." He has a far better understanding of Islam's extremism from a geopolitical and demographic standpoints.

Book Description

The warbling and carolling of the Australian magpie are familiar to many although few of us recognise that it ranks among the foremost songbirds of the world. Its impressive vocal abilities, its propensity to play and clown, and its willingness to interact with people, make the magpie one of our most well-known birds.

This insightful book presents a comprehensive account of the behaviour of one of Australia's best-loved icons. It reveals the extraordinary capabilities of the magpie, including its complex social behaviour, in a highly readable text.
