Wickedly funny & clever!.......2000-04-02

Steve Brodner gives his contorted caricatures an interactive twist. When you "fold and tuck" two celebrity faces together, you create a third face. Jerry Lewis + Ronald Reagan = George Bush! Dylan + Sinatra = Springsteen! Fun stuff from a master satirist.

Book Description

It's not through well-rehearsed speeches that children are shaped but through the little interactions in everyday life where mothers make an impact. Gigi Schweikert's candid story-telling and tender instructions provide a look at Affection, Love, Contentment, Compassion, Comfort, Forgiveness, and much more. These easy-to-read sections are ideal for the mom who needs encouragement but has little time to spend on herself.

Great reminder of how important being a mom is..........2005-04-23

I love the way this book offered up stories and vignettes of how mothers make a difference (in both the big and little moments in life) and the lessons learned, and then provided a "journal" page so that I could record comparable milestones that have occurred with my own children. I think as moms, we get so busy "being" mom that we forget the incredible impact that we have on our children and that things which seem like little lessons to us will shape our children's outlook on life for an eternity. What a precious and awesome reminder of the responsibility and privilege it is to be called "mom."

Book Description

This is an account of one of the greatest adventures of all time by the foremost chronicler of Pacific exploration. In it you will discover what it meant to sail with Captain Cook, why the Endeavour sought out the mysterious and uncharted Great South Land and what kind of a man Cook was. The exploration of the eastern coast of Australia and the islands of New Zealand coincided with the birth of the sciences of botany, zoology and ethnology, and dramatic advances in navigation and astronomy and important discoveries in medicine and art. It was also part of an ongoing power play between three empires: British, French and Spanish.

not at all recommended.......2001-06-14

Nice glossy pictures. Text very uneven. Much of the advice is dated or simply wrong. Seems like "cut and paste" of some old parrot book from the 70's. We now know that parrots can speak some words in appropriate context and with comprehension. We don't give dog kibble anymore. I don't know of anyone who gives their parrot grit... The book seems to be pure merchandising..it looks pretty so buy it, you find out too late that the content isn't very useful.

Rip-off.......2001-06-13

This book has gorgeous pictures, but the text is completely worthless. It reads like a so-so beginner's book on parrots from the 1970's. The is much misinformation, such as the statement that macaws do not talk! Do not waste your money on this book like I did.

Polly doesn't want this cracker !!.......2001-06-07

This is by FAR one of the WORST books I have read or had the misfortune of ordering in a LONG time. Here is a quote straight from this book: "Complement the fresh foods you prepare for your macaw with parrot mixes and dry kibble DOG food." Ummm....They call it "DOG" food for a reason!! Considering the variety of pelleted foods out there made specifically for birds recommeding DOG food is pathetic and inexcusable. The other sad fact in this book is that it seems to condone the breeding of hybrid macaws =(. All in all, there is NOTHING worth recommending about this book. The glossy pictures don't make up for information which in the VERY LEAST will drastically and negatively affect the health and lifespan of your companion bird!!! PLEASE do not buy this book, as neither the publisher (TFH) or the author deserve to profit from a book that would not even be worth using for cage liner!!

An informative, well researched handbook.......2000-06-23

I am very impressed with the research that the author, (Loren Spiotta) instilled into this book. It is very detailed with many helpful pictures. This book is excellent for the person that is thinking about buying a macaw, or wants more informative tips on one that they may already have. I have read it, and will use it for future reference.

Book Description

This amusing travel guide to the Lone Star State doesn't waste travelers' time telling them where to find antiques in the Hill Country, take breathtaking hikes through Big Bend, or gaze upon the Alamo. Instead, it guides television fans to a modern replica of the Munsters's mansion, leads the nonsqueamish to the world's only Cockroach Hall of Fame, and points the curious towards a small town filled with hippo statues. Among other things, Texas is home to Goliath-sized roadside attractions, and directions are provided on how to reach the World's Largest Six-Shooter, World's Largest Rattlesnake, and World's Largest Wooden Nickel. The accompanying photographs and maps instruct visitors on how to get to these and other extraordinary spots, including the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, the Celebrity Shoe Musuem, Alley Oop's Fantasyland, and the Birthplace of Fritos. A dose of wacky Texas history is also included with answers to questions such as Did a UFO really crash into a windmill northwest of Fort Worth in 1897? and What does an Abilene Kinko's have to do with the early retirement of Dan Rather?

Book Description

Employed as a house servant by President and Mrs. John Adams, 13-year-old Hannah accompanies the First Lady from Massachusetts to Philadelphia and then to the nation's new capital. Vivid narrative, period illustrations, and Hannah's correspondence with her brother, Daniel, a printer's apprentice, give today's kids an eyewitness look at the presidential household and the nation-shaping events that took place in 1800. Readers see the growing resistance to the Sedition Act, which curtailed free speech; the bitter party politics waged by both Federalists and Republicans in the presidential election; the ultimate triumph of Thomas Jefferson; and the bloodless transfer of power. In an engaging and highly visual presentation, this firsthand story will help kids understand the challenges our nation faced as it struggled to make democracy work.

Original Designs.......2007-04-04

The ideas in this book will get your own creative juices flowing. Innovation meets modern design.

Tonality, Shading, And Shadow Come Into Their Own.......2007-03-25

"Letterhead and Logo Design 6" is a great addition to the library of any graphic artist. Although I marginally preferred volume four in the series, this edition contains many examples of brilliant logo and letterhead design. I gave the book four stars rather than five because the conceptual explanations from the designers seen in earlier volumes are largely gone from this edition. That in no way takes away from the brilliance of most of the designs exhibited in this book, however.

I was drawn especially to some of the more stark, monochrome designs, especially those with a single element of color strategically positioned: classic examples are the effort from Christian Nielinger on page 23, and the material for Process Solutions on page 63 from Howard Levy. Some other designers elected to use color as a main element of the design with stunning effects: I was particularly pleased with the use of elemental orange in the design for Clark Printing (page 53) skillfully executed by designers Perry Chua and Nancy Yeasting of Big Eye Creative.

Tonality, shading, and shadow really come into their own as integral design elements in this volume with a brilliant design (page 42) from Emanuel Barbosa for Vector XXI, and the sublime design from Hellen Rayner of Blue i Design on page 93, which is perhaps my favorite of all showcased designs in the book.

While not every design in the book is great, all are very original, and are certainly worth evaluating, whether you are a designer or a corporate representative looking for a new corporate image. For those who do see something they like, there is a helpful directory of participants in the back of the book.

For anyone with an interest in logo and letterhead design, whether casual or professional, this is a very good book and I recommend it without reservation.

...a clean collection of letterhead and logo designs.......1999-11-21

for anyone interested in having a good source of inspiration when it comes to well though letterhead and logo designs this might be the book for you. however, if you were expecting a 'how to book' or a recipe on designing logos, you are better of looking elsewhere.

it covers ideas from a large range of industries with a nice arrangement of logos, by themselves, on business cards, and as on letterheads. it is extremely applicable to most industries and even web design for the 2000s.

great book over all for your graphic design literature collection.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co., supplier of flower and vegetable seeds for more than 120 years, now provides a comprehensive guide to gardening with Burpee Complete Gardener. The book gives a wide range of information, covering such topics as starting and designing a garden; dealing with climate, soil, lighting, mulching, fertilizing, and watering; making compost; and controlling weeds. The best part, though, is the more than 420 descriptions (most with color photographs) of annuals, perennials, bulbs, roses, vegetables, herbs, ground covers, and vines. There are also excellent sections on the proper tools and equipment, controlling pest and disease problems, and the questions most asked by gardeners (divided into categories for easy reference), as well as a season-by-season guide to garden maintenance. Along with the photographs, the book includes many instructional drawings along with neat pictures of Burpee catalogs and seed packets dating from the late 1800s and early 1900s. The latter provide a touch of personality and charm that, unfortunately, the book otherwise lacks. That minor complaint aside, Burpee Complete Gardener is a solid work that offers handy information for all, but especially beginning, gardeners. --Andy Boynton

Book Description

Book Description

Furniture design is a complex art. Traditionally, techniques of the craft have been passed down from master to apprentice, but these days that is less and less the case in contemporary design. Students are now required to take courses and figure out much of it themselves. This book, as with others in the Design Secrets series, takes readers into the studio and reveals tips and techniques as well as the inspiration that brought the concept to life.

Many graphic and product designers are crossing into furniture design, including Karim Rashid, a designer of product, space, light, and fashion, and Todd Oldham, a photographer, graphic designer, product designer, interior designer, and influence in film/video and TV. Oldham is now the star designer at Lazy Boy, a company that has experienced a remarkable rebirth and revamp.

Design Secrets: Furniture shadows similar success stories by showcasing award-winning furniture designs from around the world. Each profile is complete with sketches, notes, and interim iterations revealing how the final piece came to be.

Teaching Tool.......2007-01-10

Very nice publication, well presented and concise. Information is limited as to the "how to" in my opinion but gives a very goog idea, and direction as to where to start when designing for manufacturing. Introduces a broad range of approaches regarding techniques and material. Well illustrated in an understantable and steady format. Good research and illustration (introduction) of manufacturing techniques and processes. Must have for furniture making teaching tool.

Great insight into the product development process.......2007-01-04

For those looking to be inspired and to get some insight into the design process from the product idea through to production, then read this book.
