New Format Makes It Much Easier to Use.......2004-12-12

The new format -- with more and shorter reviews, redesign of the layout and more maps -- makes this guide easier to use while traveling. Even if you're just going to Belize, having Tikal and northern Guatemala in the same guidebook is a real plus.

Images & Dreams of Peace.......2005-05-29

UNICEF volunteers offered displaced children in the former Yugoslavia workshops in art and writing. These children's voices are here, sharing their experiences with the world. A valuable classroom teaching aid. Third & Fourth graders especially seem to connect with their international counterparts. Colorful drawings, clear poems (trans. to English). I often use this book as an introduction to "write and draw your images of peace". Or, for those classrooms that are in a battle zone, this book would allow children to explore and to express their complicated reactions and visions. Also useful in lower grades as the drawings are very accessible. The vision is: out of war, peace is possible.

War self-evidently assaults early childhood development........1999-11-08

To read "Jim" Grant, former Executive Director ofUNICEF, is to read Cole P. Dodge--who survives Grant and remainssingularly dedicated to bettering the healthcare delivery systems to both women and children the world over.

Book Description

Tomato; Real and Imaginary Flowers is the catalog to an exhibition of tomato's work held at Laforet in Harajuku, Tokyo between March 10 and April 1, 2001.

It is not a retrospective, nor a complete record of the work presented in the exhibition, nor is it a coherent narrative within itself.

According to tomato it is ''nothing other than some work we have done, work that we wish to place before you and would like you to experience and think about. Maybe see and read connections thatwe never thought about or intended. That is all that it is.''

Tomato which combines the talent of Steve Baker, Michael Horsham, Karl Hyde, Jason, Kedgley, Rick Smith, Simon Taylor, Dirk Van Dooran, John Warwicker and Graham Woodis one of the major commercial success stories of the 1990s. Their commercial work includes short films, TV commercials and ''strategic thinking''.

A good one-stop source for ferret basics.......2005-01-09

I happened to see this book at a pet store and bought it on a whim, just to add to my ferret resource library as I had never heard of it. It turned out to be a surprisingly complete and accurate book, a close second to Kim Schilling's "Ferrets For Dummies" in the if-I-can-only-get-one-book-on-how-to-take-care-of-ferrets-
this-is-the-one-to-get contest. Almost every page has a full color photo of a ferret on it, and they're usually instructional or useful in some way, not simply decorative.

Lots of helpful sidebars, and they've designed the book in a very well-organized way with lots of "Post-It" notes and fake paper clips "holding" memos to the page, making the important points stand out for easy reading.

Highly recommended as a one-stop source for ferret care or to add to your ferret book collection to get a more well-rounded view of the basics of ferret care.

Book Description

Larry Desmedt (1949-2004), genius motorcycle builder/artist, daredevil extraordinaire and introspective philosopher, will forever be known as Indian Larry. He remains the motorcycle world's most beloved figure, known equally for his wild antics, his gentleness and generosity, and the radical bikes that reflected his carnivalesque character. One of the originators of the hard-core-style custom chopper, he combined ingenious metalwork and inventive engineering in highly collectable chrome sculptures that have garnered worldwide respect and recognition. In Indian Larry renowned photographer Timothy White pays tribute to an intimate friend, a riding companion and his most compelling photographic subject ever.

Indian Larry.......2007-01-06

Breathe taking photos, with great detail and the highest quality I've ever seen. Timothy White did an excellent job, and I recomend it to any Indian Larry fan.

A must have for any bike fan.......2007-01-03

Timothy White has captured some great moments on this oversized beautifully printed book of Larry's personal life and his bikes, shot on location and in the studio, its one of my favorite bike books of all time.
I just wish there were some shots of Indian Larry's Indian choppper.

If a picture's worth a thousand words..........2006-06-16

...then you'll never get tired of 'reading' this book. I say 'reading' because it's not a book filled with stores and anecdotes of Indian Larry's life, it's more of a pictorial celebration of Indian Larry.

Don't buy this book if you want a biography.

It's an excellent 'coffee table' style book, something you'll pick up quite often just to flick through the pictures and look over them again. The pictures themselves are wonderful, and the large format of the book gives the whole package greater visual impact. If you're a fan of Larry then this book is a must have for your bookshelf.

Brilliant!.......2006-04-17

A spectacular book that captures Larry and his friends in a wide variety of moods. Timothy White captures Larry perfectly, and now that Larry's gone, this document becomes all the more important.
A great book that should be looked at not just by chopper fanatics but by anyone who's interested in the inner workings of eccentrics.

indian larry.......2006-04-15

this book is awesome. and the pictures are out the world. if a indian larry fan this book is for you.

Collaborative Expressions.......2002-01-06

Caution: A few of the female images in this book exhibit "see-through" tops. If such things offend you, either avoid those pages, or this book.

In the foreword by Mr. Harrison Ford, Mr. Ford describes what he likes about Mr. White photography and why the two have been working together for 20 years. When Mr. Ford was first a contract player, the studio had his haircut like Elvis and then took a publicity shot to match. Even Mr. Ford didn't find the person portrayed to be appealing. Since then, Mr. Ford has sometimes been able to get approval over motion picture publicity stills. With this permission, Mr. Ford has called on Mr. White. "The work he does supports my ambitions . . . ."

That characterization is an important one for viewers and readers of this book. Many of the images are stunning portrayals of mood, personality, and identity. This is especially true where the person portrayed has a strong personality (Robert Mitchum), engaging eyes (Christie Brinkley), or fine acting ability (Sophia Loren). On the other hand, some of the images show the quirky, humble side. Those photographs work well with dead pan expressions (like Julia Roberts among discarded tires in an alley).

Among the subjects whose images strongly appealed to me were the ones mentioned above and those of John Sayles, Mel Gibson, Paul Newman, Eddie Griffin, Liza Minelli, Sylvester Stallone, Costas Mandylor, Queen Latifah, Drew Barrymore (Hollywood, March 1995), David Keith, Kiefer Sutherland, and the version of Nicolas Cage on the dust cover.

On the other hand, some of the backdrops and poses just didn't work for me. These images were like the flattering poses of wealthy people during the Renaissance, making everyone seem like they are larger-than-life. You can adjust the image in a painting to get that effect. In a photograph, the person's pose, expression, and intensity have to fit the backdrop. In a number of cases, the subject just didn't have enough of the right stuff to match. As a result, the people look slightly limp or out-of-place against the intense or heroic setting. This suggests that too much collaboration can possibly be harmful to ambitions as well, by causing weaknesses to become more obvious.

The book's paper quality, size of pages, and reproduction quality are all quite good. The photography is mostly in color, but the duotone effects are often the best. Most photographers are better in one or the other, and Mr. White's strength is duotone.

What do you want people to see when they look at or think of you? How does that expand your life? How does it constrict your alternatives?

Open yourself to others . . . in order to come closer to them.

Soulful locations, riviting compositions...Photography as a fine art meets the celebrity portrait. Timothy White is a master. The suprising candor that is captured in his subjects all share an honesty and intimacy that is so rare in the entertainment industry. This work inspires the amateur as well as the professional photographer.

Celebrity Portrait Photography At Its Finest.......2001-10-28

The beauty and depth of this photography book transcends its celebrity subject matter. Timothy White has managed to capture a true moment with his subjects while at the same time making it about so much more than a photograph of a famous person. The richness and quality of this book has a place in my photography/art book collection as one of my favorites.
