Book Description
"All I Need In This Life of Sin is Me & My Boyfriend"Here comes a honey colored, hazel-green eyed St. Louis bombshell named Meesa. With money in the bank, designer clothes in her closet and true friends by her side, Meesa still longs for more. All of her life she's wanted for one thing and one thing only, love. When she meets the infamous Black, a street pharmacist from the North side of The Lou, finally love is in her grasp.
Follow Meesa and Black, this century's new notorious Bonnie and Clyde, through the roller coaster ride that their tight to death relationship brings. From ups, downs, love, hate, lies, abuse and murder, they go through it all. Like the saying goes: everything that looks good to you ain't always good for you. But in the end, love always conquers all...doesn't it?

Fun Cartoony Crime Novel.......2003-01-22
I have to say, I'm not sure what other reviewers are talking about when they throw out terms like "noir", "pulp", or "Irvine Welsh" when talking about this book. I mean, it is a crime story, and it is set in Edinburgh, and there are a (very) few Scottish idioms, but otherwise it's a pretty mainstream crime novel, heavily laced with humor. It's not noir at all, it's not Irvine Welsh at all (unless you think Irvine Welsh invented black humor), and it's only pulp in the Quentin Tarantino sense, which is to say, hip postmodern neo-pulp. There are some rather gory scenes at the beginning and end, but it's all handled with so much comedy and wisecracking that it's more cartoon show than horrorshow. Think Elmore Leonard or Carl Hiassen rather than Raymond Chandler or James M. Cain.
In any event, the story is a mostly enjoyable tale about corruption within the National Health Trust system. Hero investigative journalist Jack Parlabane literally stumbles into a cover-up murder and then teams up with a female cop and the murder victim's ex-wife to get to the bottom of it all. Fast-paced, with some memorable villains (the shell-suited hitman is a riot), and plenty of digs at Thatcheism and privatization schemes, it's a fun read with plenty of one-liners, but unlikely to make a lasting impression.

Primitives, 2002: Our American Heritage
Kathryn McNerney Manufacturer: Collector Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0891451021 |
Book Description
This release is not only an identification and value guide to hundreds of primitive tools, furniture and household items, it is also a look at life in days gone by. Loaded with information and filled with photographs on primitives, this book is a must for primitive collectors. 1998 values. AUTHORBIO: Kathryn McNerney was well-known for her expertise in many fields of antiques and collectibles, including kitchen antiques, antique tools, primitives, blue white stoneware, American oak and Victorian furniture, and antique iron. Her books saw many revised editions, and her books became standard references in the field. She left behind many followers who continue to consult her books and who have made them part of their permanent libraries. REVIEW: This book pays tribute to our American heritage and shows how primitive collectibles changed and progressed from the frontiers into the 1890s. Not only are current values given for the items, but descriptions on what the items were used for, in an "old-timey" style, are given by the author. A very interesting look at our past.

The Villa: From Ancient to Modern
Joseph Rykwert Manufacturer: Harry N. Abrams ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0810939444 |
Amazon.com
If you're tired of those for-sale ads in your local newspaper hawking three-bedroom split-levels and "charming" fixer-uppers and want to feast your eyes on some real real estate, check out this sumptuously illustrated and eruditely narrated revue of perhaps the eighteen most dazzling crash pads of Western civilization. Architecture scholar Joseph Rykwert, who annotates each spread, defines villa rather broadly here to include not only the Renaissance-era Tuscan hideaways that the word evokes but also some of the most celebrated and innovative retreats of the 20th century.The volume opens with Roberto Schezen's lovely photographs of the Villa of the Mysteries in Pompeii (built in first-century AD but not rediscovered until 1930); Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli, with both its Greek and Roman theater and library, plus the ruins of its baths; the 13th-century Alhambra, its interior walls so richly carved that they look like woven tapestries; and Palladio's archetypal and much-copied Villa Rotonda in Vicenza. It closes, however, with some latter-day jewels that would have knocked the socks off Louis XV and Thomas Jefferson (whose Petit Trianon at Versailles and Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia, are also included here), such as Adolf Loos' fabulous early modernist villa at Montreux, Switzerland; Le Corbusier's celebrated 1929 Villa Savoye in Poussy, France; and the home that spurred Frank Lloyd Wright's mid-'30s career comeback, the gravity-defying Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pennsylvania--all of which were so astonishingly ahead of their time that they still look as though they must have been built at least a quarter-century after their actual construction dates. (It's still too early to say the same of the book's last two entries, Gwathmey Siegel's sleek 1979 Francois de Menil House in East Hampton, New York, and Richard Meier's 1998 Neugebauer House in Naples, Florida, which, its high-tech coolness notwithstanding, looks more like one of Meier's acclaimed public projects than a private residence.)
The one thing that unifies these homes of vastly different styles and eras is their sheer grandness and majesty of scale. Many may have been conceived as vacation or country homes, but if you're expecting anything like a twee Swiss chalet or a Nantucket clapboard cottage, forget about it. Passing the book around and debating which one you'd choose to spend the night in, however, makes for a great parlor game. This green-eyed reviewer, who probably won't ever own even a tree house, is still trying to decide. --Timothy Murphy
Book Description
The word "villa" likely conjures up images of a grand Renaissance or Baroque country estate. But the villa as a building type continues to flourish in the present day. This gorgeous book-with 153 lush photographs by renowned architectural photographer Roberto Schezen and engaging commentary by architectural historian Joseph Rykwert-traces this romantic dwelling through the centuries and around the world, from ancient Rome to contemporary America.The 18 villas that are the heart of this book include the ancient Villa of the Mysteries in Pompeii, Hadrian's Villa near Tivoli, the Italian Renaissance Villa Aldobrandini, the sober and elegant Petit Trianon at Versailles, Syon House in Middlesex, England, and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, as well as modern incarnations by such masters as Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Richard Meier. Armchair travelers as well as those interested in architecture and photography will relish this unique tour of truly spectacular sites. Joseph Rykwert is Paul Phillipe Cret Professor of Architecture Emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania and is the author of numerous books on architectural history. He lives in London.
ROBERTO SCHEZEN is an architectural photographer who has published several books. He lives in New York City.

ONLY ancient and modern villas (no in-between).......2001-12-24
I'll bet the authors just took a tour of Italian villas turned into museums to get their shots. Half the villas are in Italy and seem like they are ruins or 'open to the public'. They are more like palaces instead of homes. The modern villas are TOO modern. You know what I mean: box-like or angular stark structures that resemble commercial buildings rather than traditional houses. Fallingwater does have floorplans & is furnished so it was the only villa I liked.

Drawings, Poetry, and Miscellaneous Studies (Michelangelo: Selected Scholarship in English)
W. Wallace Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Library Binding ASIN: 0815318286 |
Book Description
Accessible to readers-useful to specialists
Much as been written on Michelangelo. By 1970, the number of scholarly books and articles exceeded 4,000, approximately a tenth in English. In the past 25 years, the literature has grown exponentially, with a notable increase in English-language publications. The five-volume series reproduces some 100 articles in English, selected from a broad range of books and journals. The collection is both accessible to the general reader and useful to the specialist, offering a representative sample of old and new commentary on the artist and his work.
The career of a geniusArticles are arranged chronologically with separate volumes covering the artist's early life and works, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, commission associated with San Lorenzo, the tomb of Julius II and other Roman projects, and a final volume devoted to drawings, poetry, and miscellaneous studies. Spanning his entire 89-year life, the articles explore Michelangelo's prodigious creativity as an artist, thinker, and poet. The sheer quantity of what has been written on Michelangelo can be intimidating; most student have little sense of how to approach or effectively utilize the vast literature. By presenting a varied introduction to a great artist, this collection is a handy reference tool for a wide array of topics, problems, and literature.
The articles in this volume examine Michelangelo's activities as draftsman and poet, as well as other aspects of his art and thought. This volume includes inter-disciplinary studies and essays from outside art history , as well as a number of important articles that do not neatly fit into a chronological survey of the artists's life.
