That's why i bought american showcase 22 and 23.......2000-07-16
I just bought this book a year ago. first time i saw this book at the bookshop, the first impression is the packaging/ cover of this book. its so thick and heavy, but the content...WOW! what can i say, the best reference for illustrator / graphic designer. many techniques have been used to make great illustration. From science fiction, cyber-art, human form, fantasy, comic and etc. It costs me a lot to pay this book, cause i'm in Australia, but it's worth to buy. That's why i bought american showcase 22 and 23. And this time from Amazon, cause Amazon has give me better deal! :-) Now i'm waiting for American Showcase 24!
The best Reference.......2000-06-10
American Showcase is the best reference to know what's new in Illustration tendency.
Wonderful...........1999-02-26
...a must have for any artist that is constantly learning from others. Every one of these books that I've seen has been great. As most artwork goes, every one is very different. I first found out about them through my father who purchased #17 in New Orleans, where I used to live. Since then we both have been hooked. I really suggest any of the American Showcase books if you can find the spare cash. P.S. Just to let you know, this book really contains no data on "how to". It is simply this, a HUGE collection of famous and not so famous graphic designer's work, who all deserve recognition if only we had that much space in our brains.

Stage Makeup Step-By-Step Guide.......2005-09-16
This is a very useful tool for stage makeup. It has made my life much easier. I'm more than happy that this book is available.
Good quick reference source.......2001-03-24
Although I'm only somewhat enthusiastic about this title, my high school theatre students are VERY enthusiastic about it -- and so I'll amend my previous review by saying that the book has excellent photos that provide good, basic guidelines. My students enjoy opening the book to the instructions of their choice and following them (as the title states) step by step. As I happen to be the school librarian as well as the theatre director, I've added this title to our library's collection in order to make it readily available for reference. Yes, this title belongs in every high school library, and colleges and universities would do well to consider it.
Not the best choice.......2001-02-28
This book's usefulness is diminished by the often heavy-handed techniques it demonstrates. The old age makeup, for instance, is poorly applied and would not register well with an audience. Swinfield is at her best with fantasy makeups such as Titania--but watch out for those techniques that can be done far better, such as the "troll's" latex nose. Beginners looking for a basic text at a reasonable price would do well to investigate Laura Thudium's "Stage Makeup"; those willing to bite the bullet and shell out the big bucks should purchase Richard Corson's "Stage Makeup," the bible of the field.
A fabulous general reference.......2000-12-21
For the person who wants to get an excellent grounding in stage makeup, this is the place to start. It very well may be the place to end, also,unless you need to delve more deeply into special effects makeup. Rather than giving you hard and fast rules, the author explains the principles behind good makeup design and application. There are tons of pictures, and it covers most basic makeup situations for stage, with a cursory treatment of other applications such as film and television.
Good basic for beginner.......2000-07-25
Good basic tips and ideas with clear pictures. I really wanted more detail and fantasy makeup ideas. It did give shading etc. tips but for a beginner. I would like a book that gave good clear pictures and instructions on makeup for photography, ball and wedding makeup. This book did not cover these subjects. Still I will use this book again.
Book Description
By the mid-1920s, the Harlem Renaissance was underway. As an effort to secure economic, social, and cultural equality with white citizens, the Renaissance years were a proving period for black composers and performers. Black Music in the Harlem Renaissance explores black music in the United States and England during the 1920s and its relationship to other arts of the time. The first collection on the subject, Black Music in the Harlem Renaissance seeks to revise previous assumptions about music during this era. The book features essays on various subjects including musical theatre, Duke Ellington, black music and musicians in England, concert singers and the interrelationships between black painters and music.

Book Description
Babies are endearingly strange creatures. They enter our lives and things are never the same again. Written as a series of musings on every aspect of babies — from baldness, bathing, and breastfeeding, to the womb, weight, and work — The Truth About Babies is playful, profound, and frequently very funny. The author's acute yet tender observations are juxtaposed with those of other thinkers and writers including Vladimir Nabokov, D. H. Lawrence, and Ted Hughes. Also included are words of wisdom from literature, history, pop culture, and folklore. Written by a father of three, this book is the perfect gift for new parents. "Ian Sansom's alphabetical observations on fatherhood make up a sensitive and unique meditation." — The London Times Magazine

Great New Parent Reading.......2007-02-11
I read this book during the first month after my daughter was born. It was massively comforting and the sections are wonderfully short. Just enough to read in the ten minutes between crying and sleeping. It is a reasurring and gently literate book that welcomed me into parenthood with the idea, to paraphrase, that you wonder how you're going to do it, and then you realize a month later that you are doing it. Fantastic.
You think this is the book for you.......2002-11-23
You read the NYRB and go to small movies and you think "Ah, Granta, this is the baby book for me." Only it isn't quite.
It's still pretty good though.
Book Description
First published in 1946 and updated in 1969 with a new Introduction and Afterword, this volume represents the fullest statement of the political philosophy and practical methodology of one of the most important figures in the history of American radicalism. Like Thomas Paine before him, Saul Alinsky, through the concept and practice of community organizing, was able to embody for his era both the urgency of radical political action and the imperative of rational political discourse. His work and writing bequeathed a new method and style of social change to American communities that will remain a permanent part of the American political landscape.
"Alinsky is that rarity in American life, a superlative organizer, strategist, and tactician who is also a social philosopher."
-- Charles E. Silberman
"He cannot be bought; he cannot be intimidated; and he breaks all the rules."
-- The Economist
(London)
"I consider him to be one of the few really great men of our century."
-- Jacques Maritain

Timeless Words From A Master Organizer.......2003-05-24
With the vision of an idealist but the experience of a seasoned organizer, Alinsky presents a clear picture of both the unequal America he saw in 1946 and the democracy he believed America could be. He does not stop there, however. He also provides a blueprint for moving from the society of inequalilty and injustice into a land where the poor, powerless and disadvantaged are empowered and our democracy enriched.
That blueprint is this manual for building community-wide power in the form of People's Organizations. It was meant as an inspirational guide to community organizers interested in replicating what Alinksy had done initially in the Back of Yards neighborhood of Chicago and later in other cities across the United States including Buffalo and Kansas City. It has become a timeless text explaining both why and how to organize.
Alinsky draws on his experience as a community organizer to explain the role an organizer can play in the process of building neighborhood power. He also explains with insightful anecdotes what obstacles the organizer and the nacent organization he attempts to construct are likely to face as they take on the powers that be. He is a spellbinding storyteller.
Reveille for Radicals differs from the better known and more popular book that was to follow in the 70s, Rules for Radicals. It is more urgent, less cynical, and less humorous. In that sense it has a purer and more naive tone. But the simpler picture of America he presents is, if anything, clearer and more powerful. It strikes an especially loud chord today -- as the inequalities he addressed in 1946 have grown increasingly stark and apparent.
There are many books about social change and injustice that are more current, but none are more useful today than this one.
ALINSKY'S SEMINAL WORK.......2003-04-06
This book was Alinsky's first and most impassioned writing. In it, he shows in detail the techniques he employed in putting together much of his activism, which ended up being called the Alinsky doctrine later on.
Overall, I thought this book was great to impassion a reader new to the subject, yet as a guidebook for a new "radical", I thought his later (and less impassioned, though more passionate than 99% of other books) "Rules for Radicals" was much more clear minded. As he writes in the later book, much of Reveille was written during his time in prison, which shows.
Personally, I recommend reading Rules first, and then proceeding to Reveille. The reader will benefit from his clear minded analysis in Rules, to then better understand his arguments and passion in Reveille.
An inspiring piece of political literature.......2000-06-16
Alinsky's book is filled with detail so extensive that it is easily understood by the beginning radical. All of this stuff makes a lot of sense and I can safely say that this book has changed the direction of my life.
Product Description
This is a book about developing community organizations. It is based on Alinsky's experience with community organizations in Chicago.
