Book Description

Since 1958 the Smurfs have captivated the hearts and minds of children and adults alike. They were born in Brussels and came to the American market in 1979. From their mushroom houses in the medieval forest, they made their way into millions of homes worldwide through television and a myriad of products that bore their image. These objects instantly became collectible, and this new book by Jan Lindenberger, one of America's most prolific authors about twentieth century collectibles, catalogs many of them with color photographs, useful information, and current market values. It follows her much-praised earlier book, Smurf Collectibles. This new book includes jewelry, books, figurines, toys, games, puzzles, clothing, paper products, and many other Smurf items. They are all illustrated in wonderful color, with helpful descriptions and current market values. This book is a must for all serious Smurf collectors.

Un poco mejor que el anterior..........2006-03-04

El libro comienza nuevamente con muñecos de pvc; esta vez con una disposicion organizada. Las fotos no son de un tamaño en donde solo se pretenda ocupar espacio, como parecio ser el caso del libro anterior, y la variedad de articulos es aceptable.
Un libro bueno. Ni mas ni menos...

BETTER THAN THE FIRST!!!!.......2002-03-26

This is the long anticipated sequel to Smurf Collectibles. You must have it. It has more items to look for, and you need it if you plan on going smurfing for Smurf stuff. You will not be disappointed. Like I said, this one is better than the first, but don't think you won't need the first one anymore. It is just as important, and it is imperative that you carry both books with you at all times. You never know it: The Smurf collectible that you want could be right under your nose, and you could miss it!!!! Don't let that happen, fellow Smurffans!

Smurf it on!

What a great tour down memory lane!!!.......2002-02-09

Lots of pictures. Lots of unusual items.
A great investment for any Smurf collector.

Book Description

The intermingling of people and media from different cultures is a communication-based phenomenon known as hybridity. Drawing on original research from Lebanon to Mexico and analyzing the use of the term in cultural and postcolonial studies (as well as the popular and business media), Marwan Kraidy offers readers a history of the idea and a set of prescriptions for its future use.

Kraidy analyzes the use of the concept of cultural mixture from the first century A.D. to its present application in the academy and the commercial press. The book's case studies build an argument for understanding the importance of the dynamics of communication, uneven power relationships, and political economy as well as culture, in situations of hybridity. Kraidy suggests a new framework he developed to study cultural mixture—called critical transculturalism—which uses hybridity as its core concept, but in addition, provides a practical method for examining how media and communication work in international contexts.

Customer Reviews:

might be the only bridge book you'll need.......2005-06-29

This is the meatiest bridge book I've ever seen. It is densely packed with solid information on every page, on all aspects of the game, and almost none of it for the beginner. I am nowhere near expert so I don't know how much of it will be "old hat" to them, but it's perfect for anyone wanting to leave the novice category and willing to spend a lot of time to do it. The book is divided into 12 sections by several different authors--6 on bidding, 3 on declarer play, and 3 on defense.

Section 12 (deceptive play by defenders) is almost worth the price of the book by itself. It feels like a tiny sliver of pages at the back, but the scope and variety of the ideas are stunning. You can spend half an hour getting to the bottom of a couple paragraphs.

The bidding sections require you to like 4-card majors, but aside from that they take a thorough look at ACOL from all angles, covering the thought processes behind "ordinary" bidding as well as numerous conventions. And the multiple authors frequently disagree with each other, allowing you to assess the merits of a particular method and tailor your bidding system. The section on slam bidding will even make you laugh a few times.

The drawback of this book is the hideous amount of typos, probably as many as one per page. The typos come in all shapes and sizes, and frequently inhibit properly understanding the material. I remember being puzzled over a player making a 2-level overcall on Kxxxx before I realized that an ace was missing.

Good resource for photoshop users.......2007-09-30

This is a really good productivity booster and time saver. If you use Photoshop a lot you will find a lot of uses for this book.

Take Photoshop to a new level.......2007-04-28

The Photoshop CS2 Speed Clinic is a must-have book for seasoned Photoshop users. The author presents a series of powerful tips and techniques that will work wonders when integrated into your production workflow. The book delves into harnessing the power of Adobe's Bridge software, writing repeatable Actions to automate your workflow, and fine-tuning Photoshop's settings to work well with your hardware setup (Mac or PC). The tips and techniques are easy to follow, with plenty of images to support the text. This is a book that you can easily read through in one sitting, but I guarantee you'll keep coming back to it for reference.

This book is more for intermediate to advanced Photoshop users - focusing on maximizing your productivity with the tool. It's NOT a book for learning how to use Photoshop.

Whyno Reader Version.......2006-12-04

As I move around often, many Peachpit Press books I buy on the road usually, once throughly perused, end up in the hotel trashcan. Kloskowski's excellent PDF tutorial on Smart Object in PS, merely underscores my desire for publishers to make available PDF (or similar) versions of their texts so that we itinerants can view them and keep them while on-the-road. (I see that the NY Times has come out with a Reader version of its paper which is terrific). I'm a podcast convert; now make me a Peachpit Press Reader convert.

Kloskowski's Book Rocks the Houski !!!.......2006-11-17

For those of you who watch Photoshop TV, you'll get the little joke in the title. This book is fantastic, I've been using Photoshop for years, so I'm fairly knowledgeable when it comes to using the program. But this book is great whether you are an intermediate user, or a professional user. Matt does a great job teaching you ways to speed up your daily production in Adobe Photoshop CS2, in addition to some great tips and tricks.

He also touches on working with Adobe Bridge - Adobe's file browser / management / etc., software. Honestly, I'm normally not a "book" person, I usually prefer the video versions of everything. But the Photoshop CS2 Speed Clinic is written in a way that makes reading it easy and fun - I had a hard time putting it down! For the price ... It's a "must buy" for all Photoshop CS2 users!!!

This book was a really good investment.......2006-11-02

I am enjoying this book. I particularly like the chapter called Nuts & Bolts. It gives a lot of great tips on tweaking your computer to enhance photoshop performance.

Book Description

Covering historical and current terms, concepts, events, movements, cases, and persons significant to U.S law, Westâ€™s has been written, updated, and reviewed by lawyers and professors with the everyday user in mind.

Book Description

Not unlike the elusive figure played by Greta Garbo, the real Queen Christina stood among the most flamboyant and controversial figures of the seventeenth century. All of Sweden could not contain her ambition or quench her thirst for adventure. Freed from her crown, she cut a breathtaking path across Europe -- spending madly, seeking out a more majestic throne, and stirring up trouble wherever she went. With a dazzling narrative voice and unerring sense of the period, Veronica Buckley goes beyond historical myth to breathe life into an extraordinary woman who set the world on fire and became an icon of her age -- a time of enormous change when Europe stood at the crossroads of religion and science, antiquity and modernity, war and peace.

This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

Customer Reviews:

Disappointingly Skewed.......2005-10-08

While Buckley has admirably and extensively researched and detailed her portrait of Europe in the 1600's, her characterizations of Christina of Sweden are irritatingly judgemental and peevish. If you are looking for a curmudgeonly psuedoanalysis of the extraordinary Queen, you will be happy. If you are looking for an impartial biography or an exciting story, you won't find it here. Buckley cobbles the flow of her own narrative by nitpicking Christina's motivations at every turn. YAWN!

An excellent examination of a life........2005-01-29

Buckley has done a wonderful job with her first book and I am hoping that others will follow. This is a well-researched and well-documented biography of Christina. The queen is placed within her time period and Buckley wisely refrains from enforcing a modern view on the queen's lifestyle and decisions. Instead the author leaves the reader to make up their own mind.

And excellently written work, Buckley gives those of us with little knowledge of seventeenth century Sweden a context from which to view Christina's life. And the discussion of Karl Gustav, Christina's father, the man who made Sweden a powerful military nation, is an important part of understanding Christina's idea of herself.

For a pleasurable and enlightening look at one of the many high born (I would hesitate to call Christina powerful, except in her own mind) women floating around seventeenth century Europe, this is as great place as any to start.

I love a good eccentric!.......2004-12-20

Unfortunately, there was a lot of Swedish history to slog through at first. When I finally got to Christina's misadventures, things picked up. But this was not a really compelling biography--I kept counting how many pages I had left til the end. If you want a biography you can't put down, go read "A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey.

Book Description

Invasive species--those nonnative organisms that aggressively spread into the landscape--are widely recognized as major threats to biological diversity, second only to direct habitat loss. This book provides specific information about the biology and control of the 78 nonnative plant species that are listed by the California Exotic Pest Plant Council (CalEPPC) as being of greatest ecological concern in California.
The heart of the book consists of species accounts, each description illustrated with a close-up photo, a habitat photo, and line drawings showing details to aid identification. The text addresses the following questions about each speices: How do I recognize it? Where would I find it? Where did it come from and how does it spread? What problems does it cause? How does it grow and reproduce? How can I get rid of it?
Many invasives can be halted or slowed, and in certain circumstances even badly infested areas can be restored. With the help of this book, land managers, volunteer stewards, conservationists, and others concerned with wildlands in the western United States can better understand invasive plants and help combat the damage they do.

Customer Reviews:

An informative book.......2007-01-11

This is a very interesting and informative book concerning some of the plants you are most likely to see in California's semi-urbanized wild places... that is, you're often more likely to see these plants than native plants.

However, only a limited number of plants are covered, and there are quite a few very common and highly invasive species that I wish she'd included. This is a compliment to the amount of information she provides about the plants that ARE in the book: where the plant came from, how to get rid of it, how it propagates, various musings of someone evidently quite familiar with the species, and more.

Also, there are a number of species that only occur in southern California, so if you live further north like me, this information is not especially useful.

Excellent Work!.......2003-01-24

This books is the first book to compile information of invasive species that are a threat to native plant communties. The review for each plant is superb citing historical, physiological, and distribution information. I strongly recommend this book for anyone studying invasive plant species. This book will not be of much help the gardener, but it is incredibly helpful to the conservationist and academic.

Not up to standards?.......2002-04-01

When comparing this with "Invasive_Plants. Weeds of the Global Garden" it would seem logical that at more than three times the price this book would offer considerably more. It does offer more text, and color pictures that are a little bigger. In addition there are small maps of California, showing distribution and small line drawings. This book would gain in accessibility if each new species started on a new page, if the line drawings were of a size and quality more aimed to facilitate recognising the species and if a more consistent format of color picture had been used, preferably showing some characteristic details.

Book Description

Harold Biswell's decades of research and field experience were a major factor in developing policies of controlled or prescribed burning, which mimics or reintroduces the natural fire cycle. This comprehensive study introduces the principles and practices of prescribed burning, which apply far beyond California, within a historical and ecological perspective. Available for the first time in paperback, with a new foreword by James Agee, this book places Biswell's study--and his legacy--in the context of recent developments in the field.

Customer Reviews:

The Science of Prescribed Burning.......2000-09-13

Dr. Biswell takes a highly technical subject and writes in a style that is both entertaining and easy to understand. It is a subject many people have little true understanding of. Yet our land management policies that have lead to years of fire suppression impact so many of us.

As far back as the 40's, Dr. Biswell was in the field proving that controlled burning is both healthy and necessary for the fire-dependent ecosystems of the West. We are now seeing how decades of fire surpression has caused huge fires in Montana and elsewhere in the West during the 2000 fire season.

Anyone living in or near an urban/wildland boarder should read this book. It will awaken you to the realities of the danger many of us live with. This book should educate and encourage you to speak to your local land managers about taking proactive measures to protect your homes, lives and communities.

Product Description

A simple, strategic approack to dealing with wildland weeds, guidelines for how to plan and lead volunteer weed control projects, descriptions of the techniques used to control wildland weeds, tool illustrations and a chart explaining how each tool can be used, and color illustrations, detailed descriptions, and thorough explanations of the best ways to control the Bay Area's worst weeds.
