Traveler's guide to paradise.......2007-03-24

With the concise and practical precision we are used to expect from Lonely Planet guides, here's your perfect companion for a rather "zen" journey.

The authors give you several suggestions about pre-determined routes (with an excelent relation between the time spent and the must-see places). However, if you want to find your own route, you can find all kinds of places to eat, sleep, swim, rave (!) or just relax while doing some yoga.

Altough this guide has everything you can expect from a travel guide, don't miss the real thing and enjoy Goa!

It seems impossible that the history of modernism can be retold through a single material, yet Linoleum: History, Design, Architecture, 1882-2000 does just that. The product of a forum at the Weissenhof Institute in Stuttgart, this exhaustive survey of linoleum, in its recollection of architects such as Peter Behrens and Mies van der Rohe, reminds us that 20th-century designers had a desire to incorporate everyday materials in their designs and to play a part in the design of these materials. Along with contemporary and historical essays on interior decoration and architecture, it includes a passage from Agatha Christie, an essay on typography, and a history of the linocut in modern art. While the book has enormous breadth in subject, it does not in geography: its histories are mostly centered in and around Germany, and its language, mostly translated, is sometimes tedious. Still, it is a unique book and an engrossing demonstration of how a material can influence the movement that gave birth to it. --Juliette Cezzar

Book Description

What is the secret connection between linoleum and the 20th century avant-garde? What would the homes of the Bauhaus designers and other modernists be without it? This new publication explores the eventful and fascinating history of this ubiquitous but overlooked material that has stood under the feet of many an artist, at one point or another, over the past century. Invented in 1864 by the British entrepreneur Frederik Walton, linoleum's first golden age was between 1900 and 1930, when countless renowned designers--among them Josef Hoffmann and Bruno Paul--used the natural material in their collections and patterns, and even Peter Behrens tried his hand at designing linoleum patterns. And such Bauhaus architects as Mies van der Rohe and Bruno Taut used linoleum in their housing designs as an inexpensive, sturdy, and of course decorative floor covering. Linoleum: History, Design, Architecture is the first book to present this historically and ecologically important material in all of its various guises over the past one hundred-plus years. Experts on design and architecture contribute essays on linoleum's history, its ''discovery'' by modernist designers and architects and its renaissance in contemporary design and architecture.

Customer Reviews:

okay but disappointingly few pictures of patterns.......2001-12-27

The amazon.com review accurately describes the contents of this book, but I was disappointed to find relatively few color photographs of linoleum patterns. Someone will write/produce a wonderful book with many color photos of linoleum, but this is not it.

Linoleum is great!.......2001-06-28

I love linoleum. I have been colleting it for years. I am going to start a museum some day. This book is definitely the highlight of my linoleum reading! A must have for linoleum enthusiasts. Check it out!

Book Description

Jeff Nichol, D.V.M. helps to alleviate both the needless worry and unnecessary expenses that surround pet care.

It is hard to deny the truly important place pets play in our lives. They are our companions, our friends, and, often inadvertently, our sounding boards. The thousands of Web sites devoted to pet appreciation, care, and merchandise confirm the growing number of pet owners and the power pets hold over them. When it comes to our pets' health and well-being, there's little we won't do-but the financial and emotional cost can be high.

In unique Q&A formats arranged alphabetically by topic, these easy-to-use books offer practical and authoritative answers to the most common questions pet lovers have about taking care of their animals. Written by a “country vet” in a warm, humorous, and conversational style, both books are invaluable references that focus not only on health issues, but also on getting along with pets and keeping them happy. Including everything from listings of ailments with explanations of symptoms and causes to information on common behavioral problems and how to remedy them, Dr. Nichol offers the kind of knowledgeable, comforting advice that makes pet ownership the rewarding experience it should be. He even provides a section on basic first aid every pet owner should know.

Perfect for both new and experienced pet owners, these references will give readers the peace of mind that comes with consulting a trusted vet, without the anxiety of costly consultation.

Is My Cat Okay?
Beginning with essential information on how to introduce a new cat to your household, choosing a vet, and the eleven cardinal rules to cat ownership, this comprehensive reference goes on to provide an extensive A-Z listing of health conditions and how to treat them. From dry sores, obesity, and skunk odor to thyroid tumors and vomiting, the answers are all here.

SUBLIME FLOWERS.......2003-11-29

I always enjoy picking up a project book of needlearts and finding a good mix of sophisticated ideas for needlework. This book has it in spades! From the ethereal cover picture (not that shown above) of an appliqued and embroidered Lenten Rose/HHellebore, to the magnificently engineered tulip on the back cover, the very realistic pansies, the lavender, to the sweet violets atop an appliqued velvet "leaf"....I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

The closeup photography is superlative, the very clear photographs in the stitch glossary, along with the drawings of the patterns make this book a great addition to the needleworker's library.

Although there are some simplistic contemporary renderings of flowers included which normally I don't go for, they are not intrusive nor too many and can certainlly have their place in inspiration.

All in all, this is a wonderful book!

an 18th century history buff.......2003-04-11

I love this book!! It was very refreshing to find a book on Elizabeth Linley, instead of her more famous husband, Richard Brinsley Sheridan.

Elizabeth was truly a shining musical star of her generation until her marriage to Sheridan cut short her career. Her incredible beauty also shows through in Gainsborough paintings of the period.

I bought the book knowing Elizabeth's life was not a happy-ending type read but a Georgian life full of ups and downs.
