Namaqualand: A Visual Souvenir (Visual Souvenirs)

Book Description

Arguably the Arab world's most forward-looking state, Tunisia is the subject of a high-spending publicity campaign as its Tourist Board seeks to attract more foreign visitors to this lesser-known Mediterranean destination. Thoroughly revised and updated, Footprint Tunisia Handbook is packed with essential tips for enjoying a trip to the "sun, sea, and sand" capital of North Africa, along with stunning full-color photographs showing the country's key features. A new-and-improved table of contents and a new front map highlighting the best sights combine with over 80 full-color maps cross-referenced with the text to help travelers decide where to stay, eat, and take in the local culture. From the remote beaches of the northern coast to the dunes and oases of the deep south, the book suggests itineraries for finding hidden spots most tourists don't know about. It gives the complete lowdown on desert adventure excursions, from climatic conditions to transportation options. It also explores attractions beyond the beaches and dunes, from vibrant souks to spectacular Roman ruins.

Footprint Tunisia Handbook-Fantastic Book.......2002-11-18

You can't imagine how much detail and information there is in this book. It must have taken this gentleman several lifetimes to actually visit all of the places about which he so accurately describes. This is far better than the Lonely Planet book on Tunisia in my opinion, especially for people who hope to travel to this progressive nation that is very "American friendly" and quite a bargain in most ways.

Footprint Tunisia.......2000-06-20

Footprint Tunisia is without question the best travel book I've ever used. It's information was accurate to the letter in every case. Background history of the country and it's ancient colonizers was exhaustive compared to the standards of most guide books. Perhaps most impressive is the pertinence of the information to every type of traveller, budget to luxe. The clever and pointed opinions were always on target. The writer did not hesitate to give sly negative reviews where applicable. "Lonely Planet" and "Let's Go" both offer good information but have target readers and leave out the needs of many of us as well as frequently providing only rudimentary information. With Footprint you can throw out all the other guidebooks or just avoid buying them entirely, that's how exhaustive I found the Tunisia entries to be. I've used many guide books, Eyewitness, Access (awesome in the original versions, especially for walking tours and architectural sites,food and shops)and Fodor's but these all pale in comparison to Footprint. Where have they been hiding? I've yet to see them on the shelves of those big bookstores in my neighborhood. Bravo to Amazon for carrying them all.

It may not be Lonely Planet, but it is almost as great........2001-07-28

Libya is a wonderful country yet to be discoveted, which only opened up to foreign tourism in year 2000 amidst a deep economic crisis caused by internal factors as well as a foreign embargo. Finally, Libya is accessible for foreign travelers - and, not less importantly, reasonably safe. Yet, given the relative lack of infrastructure, and as the volume of tourism is still low, travelers are unlikely to really experience Libya unless they are in a group, which may not always be pleasant. In order to truly get to know this wonderful nation, the independent traveler needs some help. And indeed, in this wonderful guidebook is contained plenty of useful, if not invaluable, advice, on what to see in Libya, how to move around, and how to have a great time altogether. The author has clearly put an incredible amount of time and great effort into researching all and any information that can be useful to the traveler, and has done a great job overall. To my knowledge, this is the best travel guide to Libya, and I would strongly recommend to pack it in your luggage before setting off. Yet, one aspect on which this guidebook is rather weak (compared for example to Lonely Planet guides), is on Libyan people and society. This means that the guidebook is a little better suited for those wishing to visit historical sites etc, rather than those wishing to get into Lybian politics, society, culture, and Lybian life in general. Yet, it is still a useful tool in that respect too.

Good collection of roses to review.......1999-09-14

I found this book to be very helpful. in fact I found just what I wanted. It tells you what types of roses are fragrant, dissease resistant, everything you would need to know about each rose. It also had beautiful pictures and was very easy to follow.

All you need to know about roses.......1998-08-22

This book is definitely very good. The first time I opened it, I was disappointed, as I saw in the first two chapters a history about roses. Then comes the good part: it explains whatever you may need to take care of your roses. It has a lot of pictures and photos, it explains what kind of soil do roses need, how to choose the right plants, planting the roses, watering, fertilizing, pruning, reproducing, combating pest and diseases, how to protect the roses from freezing, etc. It includes pictures of how roses diseases looks like, gives you an explanation of the symptoms, and the solutions available for the disease. The last two chapters describe how to enjoy roses indoors, how to make potpourri, and has an "encyclopedia of roses" with photos of a lot of different species. In short: buy this book. Definitely the "American Rose Society endorsed" logo is well earned.

Mixed review.......2003-05-02

I have just about all the All About books by Otho. So let me say up front that I find these books informative both in textual content and in illustrations/photos. However, beware, once one gets hooked on one of these books, one is almost compelled to buy more and more of them--and that is not all out of love for these books. For example, I bought the All About Trees book. Upon close reading, I find several common trees missing from the book. Then I realized that there is a "All About Flowering Trees" book. I have the "All About Shrubs" book. But there is also the "All About Hedges" book. Should I get that one as well if I am thinking of planting a shrub as a hedge? See what I mean?

There is another problem. I live in the east coast of the US. Some of the plants, such as the beautiful rose "Ingrid Bergman", are simply very hard to get--last I checked, only the nurseries in the UK carry this particular cultivar. I guess this series intends to reach a broader range of readership, but I find it a bit disappointing to say the least.

Having said the above, I admit I am new to gardening, which is why I am buying all these books. So maybe in the next five years, I will be able to take better advantage of the info. offered in these series.

A Wealth of Information!.......2003-03-08

This book sets out recommended rose varieties for every situation. Categories are broken down into such topics as the best roses for hot or cold climates, fragrance, roses for cutting, and several locations, from hanging baskets to groundcovers. If you want to pick the right rose, or if you are interested in learning more about how to use roses, get this book!

Book Description

This edition of Zerahyah's Hebrew translation of De Anima, Aristotle's monograph on the soul, is of major importance for the history of transmission of Aristotle's text in the Middle Ages. De Anima, commented upon by Greek philosophers such as Alexander of Aphrodisias and Themistius and Arab philosophers such as Avicenna and Averroes, was a major source of inspiration for medieval Arab and Jewish philosophers. The Hebrew translations of Averroes' commentaries, prepared from 1189 on, were very influential in Jewish intellectual circles. One of the translators involved in this activity was Zerahyah ben Isaac ben Shealtiel Hen, who also translated Aristotle's De Anima. This translation is extremely important since it is based on the same lost Arabic translation as Averroes' long commentary. The solution which Zerahyah's translation provides for the question of the authorship of this lost Arabic translation thus also holds good for Averroes' text.

Book Description

Nature's purpose in relation to the visual arts is to provide stimulus-not imitation....From its ceaseless urge to create springs all Life-all movement and rhythm-time and light, color and mood-in short, all reality in Form and Thought." -Hans Hofmann

This book is the only comprehensive treatment of one of Abstract Expressionism's most important forefathers: Hans Hofmann. Hans Hofmann attends to every stage of his prolific career. Nearly 300 gorgeous color plates reveal this modern master's extraordinary sense of color: beautifully vibrant greens, rich blues and brilliant reds organized in strikingly powerful patterns. Sam Hunter, Professor Emeritus at Princeton University, writes a substantive essay on every aspect of Hofmann's distinguished body of work. Five important essays by the artist himself are included, revealing his philosophy of art which was so influential to the generations that followed him. Frank Stella, an important painter who deeply admired his work, also contributes an essay.

Customer Reviews:

A real Gem.......2007-01-17

I knew this would be a great book when I ordered it but when I received it I was overwhelmed by its quality, a slip-in hard cover and beautifully bound hard cover book inside.
It containes a large number of high quality colour plates (possibly all his work), and an excellent description of Hans Hofmann's thought processes in the introduction by Sam Hunter and as a bonus, 5 essays written by Hans Hofmann. A real asset for any artist who has an interest in the development and progression of abstract painting from the 1920's to 60's.

True Colors.......2004-11-07

This is the finest Hofmann book I have seen.

The combination of hue clarity, nuance, and sharp focus of the plates acurately recreates the space of the paintings and really lets them sing.

The brush and knifework, even the weave of the canvases are all crystal clear in the reproductions.

This solidly constructed book is a work of art in itself.

Five stars aren't enough................2002-10-03

This book deserves 7 stars. The plates are superlative, and the coloration is excellent. Coloration is a problem that plagues most books about Hofmann (among others). His use of reds and magentas can be difficult to reproduce with proper balance. Frequently, the results are that the plates appear somewhat anemic or the reds take on an exaggerated neon character that is hard on the eyes. Here, then, is a feast for the Hofmann enthusiast with nearly 300 pictures, practically all of them in exquisite color. This is an experience second only to actually viewing a Hofmann exhibit first hand. In my opinion, the plates alone make this book a worthy acquisition. But there's more.

Other particulars making this book a great addition to any bookshelf dedicated to Modern Art are five essays by Hofmann on art: "Plastic Creation", "The Search for the Real in Visual Arts", "The Resurrection of the Plastic Arts", "The Color Problem in Pure Painting" and "Sculpture". This is not to mention an excellent Introduction by Sam Hunter and wonderful essays by Tina Dickey and Frank Stella. Of course, there are the requisite features of a monograph: a brief (perhaps a little too brief, but who can complain at this point) chronology of Hofmann's life, and a selected list of exhibitions. Add to all of the above the attractive binding, a sturdy and handsome slipcase (which is what is pictured above), and what you have is a unique and appealing presentation of Hans Hofmann, his life, his work, his thoughts and his place in Twentieth Century Art.

Book Description

Hans Hofmann (1880-1966) is one of the most important figures of post-war American art, for both his own abstract paintings and his influence as the legendary teacher of generations of artists in Germany, New York, and Provincetown.

Very interesting.......2007-01-04

Hans Hofmann's biography is very colorful. And his essay "Search for the Real" was a good read for any artist. Even if you don't really understand it or agree with his ideas, the descriptions of plasticity and push/pull are very enlightening. I'm sure he was an amazing teacher. This book is a good read for any artist, as well as for people who do not make art (to get a better understanding of the mind of the artist). This book was great! I recommend Kandinsky's "Concerning the Spiritual in Art" as a wonderful companion to this book. Between the two your mind can encompass art and thinking that is related to art in new (maybe even familiar) ways.

Hans Hofmann's rectangles and powerful colors.......2006-03-09

This convenient volume explores Hans Hofmann's abstract canvases--especially during the 1950's and the 1960's. The reproductions are printed in glorious colors with easy-to-read text alongside. Plenty of visual surprises are found in many of Hofmann's paintings. Interesting note here: many of the illustrated paintings in this book are in the collection of the University of Berkeley Museum of Art in California. Hofmann's paintings turned triumphant in the late 1950's and his work even got better towards the end of his life at age 85.

Understanding the Two- Dimensional Picture Plane.......2000-02-23

This work helps to clarify the importance of Hans Hofmann's works and why he is considered one of the most important art teachers of the 20th century. This work is especially important to any artist wanting to become the best they can become in their field. The ideas presented by Hofmann can take a lifetime to "master", but well worth the effort. His ideas are more than just "theory", they are a basic understanding of how to enliven a flat pictorial space and how to infuse oneself in one's work.

Book Description

This highly literate and engrossing autobiographical account of survival as a "wetback" or "mojado", to use the author's own words, affords the reader an unexpurgated look at the United States, its economy and culture from the perspective of the so often maligned and misunderstood immigrant: the undocumented worker.

Customer Reviews:

Telling it like it is.......2000-08-26

I read this book years ago, and it is one of those books that stayed in my head. Tinguis Perez writes in simple, direct prose about some harsh situations in the US, the types of situations undocumented immigrants encounter routinely but that few US citizens will encounter at all in the ordinary routine of life. He understates everything, never sensationalizes, and the result is extraordinarily powerful and human.

Translator's review.......1999-07-15

Libraries are now full of statistical and sociological reports on undocumented or illegal Mexican immigrants in the U.S. This book presents what I believe in the only account in print from the personal experience of one such immigrant. It tells of his crossing the border, his apprehension by the Border Patrol, of a subsequent successful entry, and of the more than two years that Mr. Perez spent in Texas, California and Washington, living with others in his status, trying to catch the American Dream.
