5 out of 5 stars Another great set of lessons, tips and "how to".......2002-11-13

This is another good book by E. John that gives a lot of straight forward advice. He followed this book with the "problems" book which is also a good one. This book has more full color plates and more pictures of refined (rather than example) work, which I prefer to look at. Beginners probably get more value out of the sketches, however, so I wouldn't pass up either book if you are trying to learn the art of seascape painting.

E. John's latest book, published just a couple of years ago, is a lot more "slick" than these other two published back in the 70's, but most of the advice and examples are similar in all three. For any serious seascape painter getting all three books is beyond thinking about, even if you aren't necessarily going to work on trying to emulate his style, some of the techniques are common to most marine painting and all of the general rules on wave anatomy, how foam is created, how light is dispersed, etc. are common to any seascape.

While painters like Lassen, Wyland (and the many seascape artists he features), Walfrado, Tabora, Nelson, etc. may have dominated the "popular" art scene in the last 10-15 years in Hawaii, Japan, Florida, California and probably other spots as well, they still have a few years to paint before they approach what E. John has under his belt. I still think his timeless and classic seascapes are among the best that have been produced.

Another painter that has about the same number of years under his belt is Loren Adams, who unfortunately probably won't be producing a book on painting in his life time. E. John not only produces books with "how to" steps, he has released video lessons and has given (maybe still does) lessons each year during studio workshops. Loren is managed by those that feel sharing his techniques would somehow hurt their cash flow, so he is kept under a tight leash. It is a shame because he is perhaps the most talented marine painter alive. Some of his work can be seen at his web site and it is useful to compare his style with that of E. John and some of the more impressionist painters.

I've been looking for and buying books on seascape painting for a few years as well as studying works in galleries from Carmel to Kauai and I can assure any painter that they are getting lessons from one of the best in E. John Robinson.

                    5 out of 5 stars An Exhaustive treatment on artmetal techniques.......2004-06-13

                    I took a chance on what the first two reviewers on this site said about this book and bought it unseen. Thanks to Oppi Untracht and those two people I have purchased a book without parallel. Their descriptions are both honest and accurate. In fact the title and sub-title of this book is both accurate and understated.
                    This is the most exhaustive photographic treatment of artmetal on the market. As an example we see a detailed treatment on inlaying in which a craftsman from India first casts and then inlays silver into a piece of Bidri work.(Bidri work is the inlaying of pure silver, in wire and sheet form, into cast objects of a non ferrous zinc alloy) Thirty Four photos show the process from casting a dish to finally polishing the finished product with the silver inlaid into the surface. There are other books on the market that talk about inlaying like "Metalwork and Enamelling" by Herbert Maryon (another excellent book) but they only talk us through the process whereas here we get to see it being done in photographic form. I will only list that one example but all the processes and subjects are explained equally well whether it be discussing Soldering, Casting Waxes or Raising metal, or even explaining the subject of Polishing Compounds.
                    The section at the back of the book on Material and Tool supply houses will be of much use to those living in North America. No doubt since its publication some of these will have closed but at lest it gives you a point of reference to start from and I only wished that we had them way down here at the bottom of the world.
                    The book also includes a good Glossary and there is also included a Bibliography which will be of use to those wanting to look up some of the older titles.
                    I will finish there as I am giddy with delight and am about to really start rambling on and believe that you will be too if you buy this outstanding book.

                    5 out of 5 stars This is a very thorough encyclopeadia of metalworking.......1998-12-26

                    I have always regarded this as the ultimate reference book for metaworkers. It covers many different facets of metalworking in a very clear way with lots of good photographs. How can this important book be out of print?

                    5 out of 5 stars Well written encyclopedic introduction to art metal work.......1998-03-12

                    This book, printed in 1968 and reprinted in 1975 is a classic text with over 440 well written pages on metalworking processes and another 60 pages of detailed tables, charts, indexes et cetera. It provides a mini-course in the history, philosophy, anthropology and technology of art metal working.

                    The book is well illustrated in black and white, demonstrating a logical progression of techniques from ancient to mid 20th century. There is little except sketchy mention of industrial processes such as electroforming, heavy casting and spinning and none at all of recent gimmicks such as sonic carving.

                    In the paranoid and safety conscious social climate of the late 1990's the most notable deficit in this book is the general absense of discussion about health and safety hazard issues. (I suppose that when the book was written authors still presumed their readers had either common walking-around sense to know that fire is hot, dusts and fumes toxic and hammers would mash their itty bitty fingers or if in doubt would go look up safe shop practices in other books written on that subject.)

                                      5 out of 5 stars enduring prison saga is must reading for today.......2007-07-11

                                      I picked up this book on the advice of a friend who knew I was interested in the plight of US intel officers John Downey and Richard Fecteau, and indeed Philip Smith provides new (to me) details and insights into the captivity they shared. But in its own right, Smith's story of his incarceration as a prisoner in China should be a classic, in the sense that it will endure. In a real sense, this is the book that neither Downey nor Fecteau would write, and it honors all of them for their perservance in the face of evil. Given that the threat remains, this should be on the reading list of all military branches and some other government agencies I know. Highly recommended.

                                      5 out of 5 stars Thank a Veteran.......2006-05-11

                                      Phil's story was personal for me: My dad is Lt Col Dayle Carlson (ret) who, with Harvey Quackenbush, went out to find Phil Smith. What an honor to have such bravery as a part of my history. It was a gripping story; how many of us can even imagine the tenaciousness required to survive solitary confinement for so many years. Thank you, gentlemen, for your service to our country. You make me proud to be an American.

                                      It was an honor to have been a beneficairy of the democracy this man fought for. His perseverance in times we could only imagine through such excellent writing is inspiration for us all. To try to feel one fraction of his emotion is our challenge we probably could not accomplish. His spirit and disipline are unparelleld.

                                      Colonel Smith's story begins with an unbelievable turn of events that if they weren't true, you would think they were scripted fiction. If anything could go wrong on his fateful day it did. As he takes you through the result of those misfortunes, his attention to detail puts you looking over his shoulder and wanting to lean in to help him. The feelings, pride and emotions he exhibited were enough to keep the pages turning and make you want to read faster and faster. As the events of his debacle unfold you'll find yourself wishing this wasn't history-that it was happening now and you could do something about it early on before it became his nightmare. The writing style is complete and solid without becoming too technical. It has interesting insight into the pilot and soldiers roles and duty without losing sight that it is a story of courage, faith, family and most of all hope. This is the perfect story to make us all take a step back to help us forget the little things that may be a nuisance and appreciate the big things that are taken away from some. It will make you look at all who protected us and our freedoms gratefully.

                                          Book Description

                                          This ambitious, highly theoretical book provides a capstone for the careers of two very distinguished scholars. It begins with an analysis of what functions and systems must exist for any organism or machine to perform an unlearned act, that is, with an analysis of what must be "wired into" the organism or machine. Once the basics of unlearned responding have been established, the authors then systematically show how learning mechanisms can be layered onto that foundation in ways that account for the performance of new, learned operations that eventually culminate in the acquisition of higher-order operations that involve concepts and language.

                                          This work is of interest to various practitioners engaged in analyzing and creating behavior: the ethnologist, the instructional designer, the learning psychologist, the physiologist-neurobiologist, and particularly the designer of intelligent machines.

                                            Have been to numerous lectures given by the couple architects. Very creative structural design for one thing. Beauty at where they arrive between what's progressive & what was and is indigenous. Amazing models made after projects being built for furthur analysis. Too bad the photos are small and not in color. Light & shadow & materials can say a lot about a building & color photos would be very helpful for their next book. Still a must have, professional and all alike.

                                              5 out of 5 stars Explains it simple and fast.......2000-12-12

                                              I've bought this book since I wanted to get acquinted with AE fast. I've gone through every review on Amazon and the local sites and finally went to the store to buy this one.

                                              It appealed to me in the way it approaches the different concepts (not the easiest ones in AE) and explains them clearly, stating examples and using the 'sidebar' method for indepth information.

                                              I have gotten through to page 140 now and I absolutely love it. I use it both as a manual (continuous reading) and for reference (looking up stuff), and it fits both uses.

                                              I am planning to finish it before Xmas and the only thing standing in my way is my REAL job. One note of critic though - the CD is not packed with goodies (make up your mind if that is a good or a bad thing) and besides that, there are few useable thing on it.

                                              But overall, the book alone is worth the - very low, I might add - price.

                                              4 out of 5 stars after effects user.......2000-11-05

                                              This book does an excellent job of explaining the core dynamics of adobe after effects and some advanced features. But if you are looking for a guide to building effects, this book is not for you.

                                                          This book was written for individuals attacked through the family law and child support systems in Australia and New Zealand jurisdictions, but may be of some interest in all English-speaking countries. It contains many tips on minimizing the damage usually done to such individuals as well as tips on reconstruction of their life, with particular attention to ways of taking advantage of this hostile terrain.

                                                          Darl not only wrote this book but since we live in the same area, Northern Virginia, he responded to my inquiry about his reference to the 1865 sinking of the General Lyon, a steamship carrying mostly Union soldiers back to the North from Willington, NC. My great uncle was one of less than 30 survivors out of greater than 600 passengers when this ship went down after catching fire 60 miles from shore.

                                                          He also took me to the National Achieves in Washingto, D.C. He actually trained me on how to use this national treasure and helped me identify and get the complete original pension file of my ancestor. The National Achieves staff was then able to deliver these documents to me within one hour. This was an amazing experience.

                                                          I also learned from him and his book that my relative had been captured and imprisoned by the Confederates and finally sent to Salisbury prison, in Salisbury NC where thousands died from lack of shelter and food. However, my ancestor escaped in early 1865 and made his way to Willington, NC. Included is details on each soldier in this famous and all volunteer unit expected to approximate the famous Confederate raider, Mosby.

                                                          You can't expect a author to do this for everyone but I will be forever indebted for what Mr Stephenson did for me.

                                                          While the writer isn't as smooth as some of the better known Civil War historians he makes up for it and then some with an enormous amount of detail and research. He makes a special effort to puncture (effectively in my opinion) the rather fanciful legion of Mosby and contributes important insights into Union scouting operations, bushwackers in WV, and interesting personalities like Crook and Sheridan.

                                                          An account of Robert Blazer and his special forces operating in West Virginia and the Shenandoah valley against William and Philip Thurmond, and Mosby, the great rebel guerrillas. One of the few accounts of the feared Thurmond's Partisan Rangers, and the men who fought them. A must read for any 43rd Virginia Cavalry fan. First-hand soldier stories unveal the men behind the legends and untangle fact from myth.

                                                          Covering a little known, outside of historians, side of the battle between the Union and Confederate cavalry for supremacy in Virginia's bread basket, this well written book explores the history behind Blazer's Scouts and how their little appreciated aspect of the Civil War contributed to the successful defense of the Union and defeat of the more widely popularized Confederate cavalry operations. Well worth a look...

                                                            Kerlinger is a true scientist, and an avid birdwatcher with a passion for his subject. I don't share his passion, and found some of his case histories neither interesting nor illuminating. There is also a bit of needless repetition. I would still very much recommend this book. Bird migrations are remarkable, and most of us have at least some interest in the habits of the birds around us. This is a well organized book, and it is built around scientific inquiry, and observation, and the theories that result. There is still much to be learned, which is both good and bad. Sometimes there are interesting alternative theories, and sometimes Kerling has to simply point to gaps in knowledge. The production values are high, ie. the various typesets and illustrations. While "finding the way" is the most important chapter from my viewpoint, it turns out there are many other issues related to migration. Incidentally, in the "Finding the Way" chapter, there is one important omission: Kerlinger brings up the subject of straight line routes vs. great circle routes, gives evidence that at least sometimes birds use the longer straight line routes, then writes (p.149): "Some migrants do seem to use great circle routes, but ....". What follows the "but" is off topic, and in fact great circle routes never explicitly come up again.
