Exciting and colorful insight into 18th Century life........2007-09-18

This slim volume is a wonderful educational tool used in addition to textbook and other in depth studies.

The author's presentation is accurate in a wonderful "you are there" way. For children, this book would be an awesome preparation for a visit to Colonial Williamsburg, or souvenir of a visit to that museum.

Excellent and highly recommended.

From an elementary school teacher.......2000-11-26

This is a wonderful and accurate book to use to enhance unitson colonial life in America. After my family visited ColonialWilliamsburg, I felt the need to share the things that I had learnedwith my students. What a super job this author has done to assist inthis area. The illustrations are accurate interpretations of thehistorical buildings in Williamsburg. This book is easily adapted toall elementary levels. It is a great book to share with your ownchildren to teach them about our country's history.

Book Description

Magali Larson's comprehensive study explores how architecture "happens" and what has become of the profession in the postmodern era. Drawing from extensive interviews with pivotal architects--from Philip Johnson, who was among the first to introduce European modernism to America, to Peter Eisenman, identified with a new "deconstructionist" style--she analyzes the complex tensions that exist between economic interest, professional status, and architectural product. She investigates the symbolic awards and recognition accorded by prestigious journals and panels, exposing the inner workings of a profession in a precarious social position. Larson captures the struggles around status, place, and power as architects seek to redefine their very purpose in contemporary America.
The author's novel approach in synthesizing sociological research and theory proposes nothing less than a new cultural history of architecture. This is a ground-breaking contribution to the study of culture and the sociology of knowledge, as well as to architectural and urban history.

Inward-Looking.......2003-06-20

The important thing to know is that the book is about changes in architecture as a profession, and in how architects view their work, not about changes in what buildings look like or how buildings function. If your interest is in why the big shiny towers in your city are so big and shiny, the most relevant chapter is "The Autonomous Transformation," which covers how design awards are given. It's a solidly researched book, but much is aimed at an inward-looking, specialized audience.

The very basic basics, and a little misinformation........2005-08-30

If you know anything about dog behavior and interaction, this stuff is probably a boring review for you. The book was clearly intended for people who do not know how dog pack behavior works, what a dog rolling over means, how to tell when dogs are dominant and when submissive, etc. There's a little bit of everything in this book, which would seem convenient, but it's not nearly in depth enough for a lot it touches on, especially breeding.

My biggest beef with this book was a chart about halfway through which list major breeds and rates them as "low, medium, or high" in three areas: activity/excitability, aggression, and trainability. These are flawed categories. Excitability and activity are not the same thing. A pomeranian is easily excitable but needs nowhere near the exercize that a whippet, a very calm and docile dog, does. It lists many dogs as "low" in this category, such as the dalmation, doberman, Hungarian vizsla, and australian shepherd. Anyone who gets these dogs thinking they have low activity levels is bound for an unpleasant discovery. The aggression category is vague and unnecessary. One, we do not know if this means the dog is a good watchdog, receptive to guard dog training, or if is likely to attack the owner and her friends! Second, it reinforces stereotypes that certain breeds are somehow more naturally "vicious" than others. It should have NEVER been made a category. "Watchdog ability" is a much better choice. I dare not think someone would come away from this book thinking Great Danes are highly aggressive.

This is not the book to get to find what breed you want. It is not the book to get if you want to go in depth into dog nutrition or training. It is a book for someone completely clueless to thumb through, then put back on the library shelf.

NOT for younger children.......2003-01-29

Not for younger children, as it gratuitously displays and describes dogs in the act of mating. This adds nothing to the book, as small children love dogs, but would be less likely to be dog breeders at the ages of, for example 6 or 7, and as such do not need to view such explicit depictions. Also, adults can pretty much already identify those acts (especially) in fellow mammals when they see them, and so this adds nothing for them, either.

i liked it but my favorite is legacy of the dog.......2001-09-26

i have many dog books because i study them and read them whenever i have time. the reason that i like this book is because it is very informing it tells what to feed your dogs it shows the ways to groom and so on i recomend this book to dog lovers and people who just like the pictures ether way is good.

Complete Illustrated Guide to Dog Care.......2000-04-11

This book is very informative. I just adopted a Miniature Schnauzer puppy, and he is my first dog. I didn't really know the in's and out's of dog training and behavior. When I read this book, I learned a lot. It is not only very comprehensive, but interesting. It also has a lot of pictures of dogs exhibiting certain behaviors, this makes it easy to follow along. I highly recommend this book to all dog lovers and owners.

Great Photographs.......2000-03-30

This book is a great source of information for new dog and puppy owners. It is very readable, very entertaining, and very informative. I bought it for the photographs, however. The photos are so expressive, and there is a great variety of breeds shown

Customer Reviews:

not what I expected.......2001-08-02

If you have not made an identification of your doll, this book will frustrate you. The book does not provide enough insight into marks for identification. What the book does do is provide a starting point at placing a value on your doll if you have already identified it. It gives limited lists of information on each of the major makers' dolls - the rare.

From the author: In most cases, the practice acquisition and employment strategy of the 1990s has backfired, with acquired physician practices losing in the range of $50,000 to $100,000 or more per physician annually. There are two alternatives for addressing the operating deficits incurred from practice ownership and physician employment: (1) restructuring through the implementation of network-wide and practice-specific initiatives to improve financial performance; or (2) wholesale (i.e., all practices) or selective practice divestiture, depending on the individual practice financial performance and "fit" with the physician network strategic priorities. Unraveling a decade's worth of physician-health system relationships that are grounded by the notion of acquisition and employment is going to be a complex process for both parties. But given the magnitude of financial losses on acquired practices and the inability of health care providers to sustain future losses, there simply are not options beyond restructuring or divestin g these relationships.

Book Description

As the wife of a Japanese company executive, Miiko Satake holds a unique position in British society, being a temporary part of it as a visitor from abroad, yet able to mix in its uppermost echelons. In 'On a Bench in Oak Hill Park' she presents the reader with her perspective on the British way of life in a discussion of a diverse range of issues from the conflict in Northern Ireland to the pomp and circumstance of the Trooping of the Colour, whilst, at the same time, giving the reader an insight into her own marriage, interests and lifestyle. This is indeed a fascinating work and enlightening exploration of contemporary and historic London.
