Book Description

Description: Phylogenesis--wait, we'll explain the title soon--is structured as a reflection on the work that Foreign Office Architects (FOA) has produced during its first 10 years of practice. With its genesis as a primarily speculative and academic endeavor, FOA has recently expended much energy in the development of a technical arsenal for implementing real projects. Such explorations have been undertaken through a series of competitions, speculative commissions, and lately some real projects, some of them already completed, others still under construction. The outcome of these years is seen not just as a series of experiments, defined by the specific conditions of a project, but as a consistent reservoir of architectural species to be proliferate, mutated, and evolved in the near future. With the spirit of a scientific classification, the genesis of the projects is here identified as the evolution of a series of "phylums," actualized--and simultaneously virtualized--in their application to the specific conditions where the projects take place. Phylogenesis also includes an FOA-curated compilation of previously published texts from several critics who analyze "external" topics that relate to different aspects of the firm's discourse.

5 out of 5 stars Great but could be better.......2007-04-26

The Best: The proyect, the inteligent calisification, the graphics, the perspectives, the images of the proyects (amazing), the view and of course, the architecture.

The Worst: The size of the plans inside the book, and the information on it about planimetric and detail construction.

Conlucion: Buy it... is really good book

5 out of 5 stars Encyclopedia of FOA.......2004-05-06

Very good book with an interesting structure/classification system for their projects. Projects are well described in text and graphics, and the essays that are inserted between 'sections' add an interesting perspective towards architecture and artistic/cultural theory in contemporary practice from several authors viewpoints, not just the firms. This is FOA's S,M,L,XL (with less bulk) with all projects (to date) presented and explained in detail.

1 out of 5 stars Gouache Gone Bad.......2007-01-12

This book did not help me at all. It gave me little or no information and did not address my needs for attemping or completing a gouache painting. I would NOT recomend this book.As a watercolor artist, I was looking to stretch my experience as an artist and use gouache with my watercolors. This is one area this book did not address.

                Book Description

                Dorothy is a young girl with her heads in the clouds, but her feet planted firmly in the ground that is her foster aunt and uncle's farm in Kansas. Her dreams and outrageous ideas are illustrated in magnificent detail in her sacred journal. It is the day of her 17th birthday when she and her troublesome friend Thomas meet a traveling merchant, who possesses something that Dorothy cannot resist. It may only be a simple blanket, but something tells her it is much more. Could it hold the key to a strange yet familiar place that seemingly only exists in her dreams.

                Journey to OZ.

                The entire volume will consist of 5 books. In this series, Shane will take the reader through a different world of Oz, one which is much more edgy and thought provoking. Follow Dorothy through her various trials and tribulations through Shane's beautifully illustrated pages and ethereal verse. A treat for all Oz fans.

                5 out of 5 stars So New, So Different, So Great!.......2005-03-12

                I've never read or seen anything like it, a completely different take on the oz trials and tribulations. Awesome illustrations and a truly distinct storyline make this an amazing graphic novel...

                it's hot!

                Can't wait for the sequel

                5 out of 5 stars One Word: Awesome!.......2005-02-21

                I've only just recetly become a huge fan of graphic novels and I must say this book is right up there with my favourites. The pages are immacuatly drawn and the story line is just as well thought out and interesting. I can't wait for the next book. Definately worth the $6.99, worth more really.

                5 out of 5 stars Finally an original idea in comics.......2005-02-11

                I have to say that Dorothy Gale: Journey to Oz is amaizing. The author took the original idea of wizard of oz and turned it into his own world. This does not follow the movie at all, this is alot darker, and Dorothy got herself some attitude. If you want to see amaizing artwork with a dark twisted storyline to match it, you will definatley love this comic. I highly recommend buying it, im just waiting for the next book to come out to see what happens next.

                                5 out of 5 stars Memorable.......2007-04-01

                                I first want to say that I have just within the last ten minutes finished this book and I wanted my fresh impressions put to print, here goes...

                                "Hell's Broke Loose in Georgia Survival in a Civil War Regiment" by Scott Walker, 2005, University of Georgia Press. 310 pages, illustrated, maps and pictures.

                                I am proud and happy to have a signed hardback copy of this work. It could be best described by the author by how much he felt about the men he was writing about when he wrote on the last page "I promised myself that I would place a copy of this book in a small wooden box and bury it at the foot of Robert Braswell's grave [Private, 57th GA, CSA]. In so doing, I simply want to say that his great-great-grandson has not forgotten the sacifice that he made to help the United States evolve into a great and wonderful nation. And I will wrap the wooden box in an American flag with fifty stars, a symbol of that new nation."

                                "Interest"

                                This is a history of the 57th Ga. told through letters and diaries and a detailed and researched history carefully worded and structured to keep the reader very interested. It was slow reading at first until about page 70 with the start of the Battle of Baker's Creek (Champion's Hill). The following is a list of the war's events that impressed me with it's detail and coverage of military actions.

                                Kentucky Campaign
                                Battle of Champion's Hill*
                                Battle of Vicksburg
                                Atlanta Campaign
                                Battle of Peachtree Creek*
                                Battle of Atlanta
                                Battle of Jonesboro*
                                Hood's Tennessee Campaign
                                Hood's Retreat from Tennessee*
                                Battle of Bentonville*

                                *These had great interest to me in enlightning me on events new or enhanced information.

                                "Negatives"

                                Slow. The book didn't seem to be all that different or exciting than any other Civil War history you would find in magazines or reference material for the first one third of the book. The only real mistake I found was several references to Enterprise, Alabama as the rendevous point for paroled Vicksburg Confederates. My experience has taught me it was Enterprise, Mississippi.

                                "Positives"

                                Once you get past the "slow" parts it picks up momentum like Sherman through Georgia. My favorite parts being Chapter #19 Kennesaw Mountain through the last Chapter #30 "Coming Home".

                                "Impression"

                                I came away from this book with a great appreciation for these men and what they suffered and a new knowledge of military events. There is a couple of pages in the last Chapter dedicated to a post war court trail of an ex-Confederate Irishman and the jury of his peers, men who served with him in the war. It is really interesting to read the actual court transcripts of his speech. Great book.

                                5 out of 5 stars PUTS THE READER IN FOOTSTEPS OF THE SOLDIERS.......2007-01-09

                                This was an outstanding book on the brave soldiers from the 57th GA regiment. It was really hard to put it down as I found myself getting a real sense of the challenges, these brave Americans endured. If someone wants to get a real feel for what these men went through, here's your chance!

                                5 out of 5 stars Amazing Read!.......2006-08-17

                                My son's got me this book for my birthday knowing I enjoy reading about the Civil War. I could hardly put it down and had it read in less than a week. The author does an amazing job of combining the history of the war with the letters of members of the 57th Georgia Regiment, of which his great great grandfather was a member. The difficulties this group of soldiers faced were much greater than the bullets from the Union. Disentary, illness, improper clothing, and questionable leadership all contributed to their story. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the Civil War.

                                        In view of the growing number of diverse life styles, the search for flexible, adaptable floor plans has become a fundamental issue in residential building. That the continued demand in urban centres can only be responsibly satisfied by high-density housing is undisputed. More than ever before, building high-density housing is a diverse and challenging task for planners and architects. This book presents international projects which document the complexity of the task, from the design of the floor plans, the development and use of resources, to the use of economically beneficial building systems. The high quality of the architecture and construction in such residential areas can be clearly seen in the uniform illustrations of the floor plans, and large-scale drawings of details. The introductory contributions discuss extensively the topic of floor plan design and development. This book is a comprehensive review of the current state of residential building, the perspectives and future developments.

                                        4 out of 5 stars Explore Experimental Mixed Media and Collage Painting.......2001-11-29

                                        I've been a realist painter all of my life yet I've always enjoyed experimental and non-realist paintings. I'd even made several attempts to make my own experimental paintings yet ended up throwing them away in disgust since they showed that I didn't really know what I was doing. I was at a loss and wondering how people make abstract and experimental paintings at all.

                                        Then I found this book and what a big difference it has made. The paintings in it are beautiful and made me want to try experimental painting again. I was SO thankful Ms. Dews breaks down her approach step-by-step with photos for each stage. So, for example, you read something like, "In this section I demonstrate some of the techniques I use in my paintings. They are simple to follow. As you practice these techniques, you will not only learn about the various techniques, you learn about the color, paper and how to use various tools." That chapter then procedes to do exactly that. Photos and explanations abound of techniques for texturing, shaping, coloring, various paper surfaces, etc and how each contributes to particular effect.

                                        I appreciated especially the chapter on how to cultivate new ideas for your next painting. I also enjoyed the chapter finishing up by showing step-by-step how two artists can interpret the same subject. A photo of an iris was used for the demonstrations and Ms. Dews' result was an abstracted background with a more realist flower as the focal point. The other guest artist had a completely experimental, abstracted painting. I would've never known the original subject was a flower had I not been able to follow her painting from start to finish.

                                        Two other chapters that really helped me a lot were the ones on viewing, cropping and collage. Ms. Dews is not afraid to crop her paintings if one area is working well but the rest of the painting is not. Alternately, sometimes she uses collage to rescue an area or painting that isn't working out. I wish I'd known about this on my first attempts. Had I thought to do these things I may have not thrown my paintings away, just cropped or collaged the disappointing sections.

                                        I definitely recommend this book to anyone curious about trying a more experimental approach to painting. It has tons of mini-demonstrations, full painting demonstrations, discussions on using a wide variety of tools, surfaces, stencils, collage papers, mediums, etc. and techniques. It's got a lot of photos so you can see as well as read what the author is doing. Overall, it's a good reference to get started painting more freely.

                                        5 out of 5 stars This book breaks through creative blocks!.......1999-06-24

                                        I ordered this book without seeing it. The customer reviews that summarize Dews' freedom and enjoyment of painting are true. She writes wonderfully and explains perfectly. When I received the book, I read all of it. She has more fun and coaxes her readers to jump up and run to the paint and, on the way, grab anything that doesn't move to add to the experience. A real fresh look at enjoying art.

                                        5 out of 5 stars A wonderful teaching guide for unique watercolor techniques!.......1999-01-02

                                        We are so lucky that a talented artist like Pat Dews reveals her painting techniques to everyone. A beautifully put together book with great action photos and easy to follow directions. I especially love the painting for keemakoo. Highly recommend!!

                                        Pat Dewsbook"Creative Discoveries in Watermedia" is the most informative and comprehensive book in my art library.Her "how to"examples are well defined which is a tremendous help to those who are new to the abstract genre and to many who need inspiration.

                                        5 out of 5 stars Exciting and Energizing makes you want to pick up a brush........1998-11-07

                                        When I saw the cover I knew this would be a book I would love. This is a inspiring book, not a "copy me" book.

                                        I bought this book because as the title suggests is also for Digital Photography...but well...that is just pure marketing...It just have ONE page (pg.83) in reference to digital cameras.
                                        I am very disappointed...wish I can return this book...

                                        This book helped me to understand how to do the lighting for my photos. I have started using my digital camera recently and this book has helped me to understand how to work with the light in a...a practical way. My photography has improved after reading this book.

                                        In the company of animals they travel, as no other humans can. These are women who command the creatures of the land, sky, and sea to do their bidding. Fearsome wolves, noble eagles, wild gorillas, even lions and tigers and bears - oh my! They're all held under the thrall of their female leaders. Illustrating such fanciful and fantastic images are: Tomas Giorello, Boada, Daniel Pascarelli, Mike Hoffman, Del Rivero, Ruben Meriggi, Bachs, Quintabani, and Maraschi to name just a few.

                                        Wolfpack presents the best of beauties and beasts in another great Gallery Girls collection from SQP. Beginning with a stunning cover by Tomas Giorello, we get 64 pages of fantastic illustrations by the likes of Pelaez, Quintabani, James Ryman, Pedro Cuevas, Brian le Blanc, Jose Torres, Isaac Del Rivero, and many more. Sexy, voluptuous women paired with feral beasts...what more can a man ask for! Pelaez gets the book off and running with a regal beauty standing proudly accompanied by a pair of large Dobermans. Quintabani gives us a nude, raven-haired beauty lying on silk sheets covered with spiders-erotic in rather a creepy way!

                                        Pascarelli provides a blonde, leopard-spotted women leading a pack of her feline friends. James Ryman does his best Frazetta-style piece with an ax-wielding nude warrior woman in battle along with her pack of wolves. Pelaez returns again with ravishing beauty in thigh high leather boots and black bear for a comrade. An illustration by Alonso has his lovely subject cavorting in the trees with a group of chimps. One of my favorites in this book is by Isaac Del Rivero showing a woman and her wolf pack hunting under a bright moon.

                                        While slightly less exotic than others in the series, Wolfpack puts its women in a whole new pin-up surrounding and is another fine edition to the Gallery Girls collection.

                                          This is a very well written (read edited) book. The intention of the author, Dr. Jude Arnold, is clear from her brief introduction to the last Journal entry of her beloved sister, Jan. The purpose: to pay a loving honor and tribute to her twin sister Jan. Anyone who reads this book shall come to know intimately, both Jan and Dr. Jude. This is a delightful, easy, and profoundly moving read.

                                                It is the perceived wisdom that the Gallipoli Campaign against the Turks in 1915 was deeply flawed and that inadequate planning and bad maps contributed to much unnecessary slaughter.

                                                Yet these two experts on terrain and mapping in the Great War contend that the consequences of this have been overplayed and by considering the evidence - both in little-used archives and studies of actual terrain features - they present the truth; that adequate intelligence was available in various forms but was either ignored or not correctly collated or distributed.

                                                  Book Description

                                                  Up until the 1970s, a large proportion of Aboriginal people in Australia had some experience in institutions as part of government assimilation and protection policies. By focusing on three communities in South Australia, this book attempts to understand the consequences of this institutionalization for Aborigines and Australian society in general. Peggy Brock uses the word "ghetto" to evoke the nature of the missions in which many Aboriginal people settled for generations, as ghettos both oppress and nurture. The book shows that Aboriginal people often chose to live in the missions as part of creative strategies to ensure their own survival. This constructive and insightful study should become a central text in Aboriginal Studies and Australian history.

                                                      This is a collection of essays on the relation between probabilities--especially conditional probabilities--and conditionals. It provides new negative results that sharply limit the ways conditionals can be related to conditional probabilities. There are also positive ideas and results that will open up new areas of research. The collection is intended to honor Ernest W. Adams, whose seminal work is largely responsible for creating this area of inquiry. As well as describing, evaluating, and applying Adams's work, the contributions extend his ideas in directions he may not have anticipated, but that he certainly inspired.
