Ehhh. A little disappointing..........2007-02-22

I would totally agree with the above review, Eldridge picks many of the same brands to showcase and perhaps my aesthetic tastes are very specific or my standards are high, but not all of them deserve to be in a book that is supposedly showcasing "good" design. Maybe it's supposed to be displaying a wide range of design taste, but I expected some sort of standard to be selected - for example, there was a plain Ann Taylor carrier bag that they stuck in there (the plain off-white ones - not even the pretty grey ones with the satin handles and pink interiors!), which reinforced my opinions that the book contains more filler and fluff than clever design worthy to be praised.

If you're considering buying this, I suggest you first go to a bookstore and flip through it for yourself.

Must have for inspiration!!.......2006-11-10

I am in love with these rockport books! The 1000 series is an awesome source for inspiration. You can randomly flip through them and something will catch your eye and it starts your creative juices flowing. I would definitely say that these books should be in any design student's library. The 1000 Graphic Elements is the other one that I could not live without!

Es bueno, pero pudo ser mucho mejor!.......2006-07-06

Creo que es un libro interesante, pero sería conveniente que cada una de las piezas producidas que se muestran en el documento llevasen una ficha técnica de diseño y producción mucho más detallada, así como en algunos casos que cuente con el diagrama de construcción de la misma, el sitio de internet, un correo electrónico.

Es interesante pero es como sentarse frete una deliciosa cena, percibir su exquisito aroma e irse!. Me quedé con las ganas de meterle realmente el diente! Ojalá sea en una próxima edición...

1000 Bags, Tags & Labels Review.......2006-04-03

This book has a LOT of great ideas and inspirations. I will say that I wish there was more variety amoung contributors. There tends to be a lot of the same designers contributing work. There is also a handful of work that I would not consider to be worthy of "book status".

Overall I do like the book. Another great book by Rockport "1000 Graphic Elements"...

Book Description

When zoologist Max Terman came to the rescue of a great horned owlet in a Kansas town park, he embarked on an adventure that would test his scientific ingenuity and lead to unprecedented observations of an owl's hidden life in the wild. In Messages from an Owl, Terman not only relates his experiences nursing the starving owlet, "Stripey," back to health and teaching it survival skills in his barn, but also describes the anxiety and elation of letting a companion loose into an uncertain world. Once Terman felt that Stripey knew how to dive after prey, he set the owl free. At this point his story could have ended, with no clue as to what the young bird's fate would be--had it not been for Terman's experimentation with radio tags. By strapping the tags to Stripey, he actually managed to follow the owl into the wild and observe for himself the behavior of a hand-reared individual reunited with its natural environment.

Through this unique use of telemetry, Terman tracked Stripey for over six years after the bird left the scientist's barn and took up residence in the surrounding countryside on the Kansas prairie. The radio beacon provided Terman with information on the owl's regular patterns of playing, hunting, exploring, and protecting. It enabled him to witness the moments when Stripey was bantered and mobbed by crows, when other owls launched fierce attacks, and when a prospective mate caught Stripey's eye. On occasional returns to the barn, the owl would follow Terman around as he performed chores, usually waiting for a handout.

Until now, scientists have generally believed that an owl nurtured by humans becomes ill-adapted for meeting the challenges of life in the wild. Terman's research proves otherwise. Stripey surpassed all expectations by becoming a totally independent wild creature. With Terman, however, Stripey remained tame, allowing the author to explore something one rarely sees in owls: a warm interest in humanity. Terman engagingly re-creates this dimension of Stripey as he describes with humor and compassion the daily challenges of probing the life of a "phantom winged tiger."

Customer Reviews:

Well balanced.......2002-02-04

This book follows the life of a Great Horned Owl "Stripey", who was abandoned as a 4 week old chick, and raised and subsequently released and observed by Author and Zoologist Max Terman for a study in Animal behaviour. This thoroughly enjoyable book successfully combines scientific observation, reasoning and speculation with the joys and rewards that relationships between humans and animals can bring. Although a factual account, "Messages from an Owl" reads much like a novel, complete with twists in the plot and happy and sad moments. I highly recommend this book, not only for people interested in biology but for anyone who would enjoy following the life and times of two companions, and Owl and a Man.
Deane P. Lewis

Owl Speak!.......2000-04-07

Max Terman has given us a most delightful read. I love the typography and layout. The quotes at the head of each chapter lead us on a challenging "Owl Prowl". What a privilege it would be to go in person and check out Stripey and the other owls with Max. But next best thing is pulling his book off of the shelf and reading it again and again. Each new read brings a new insight into the lives of great horned owls and the life of humans who care about them. The book is a classic.

Good read for nature fans.......1999-05-03

I really love this book. Terman writes with an engaging style and he through him I can feel the triumphs and failures of the owl Stripey. It's not often I get attached to an animal I've never met, but this book brings Stripey to life in ways I wouldn't have imagined.

AT LAST - A HOW TO BOOK FOR US ALL!.......2004-11-10

The title of this book my be a bit misleading. While it does indeed cover almost every aspect of raising African Violets for show, it is much, much more. If you buy only one book addressing the raising of these wonderful plants, buy this one. The book is written in a straight forward manner, presenting many details, without being over whelming. Technical terms (jargon) are kept to a minimum. You do not need a degree in horticulture to understand the points the author is making. The book is quite suitable for both beginner and advanced grower alike. Illustrations are simple but very adequate and understandable as is the author's style. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the raising of African Violets! I wish there were more books on the market like this one.

At Last, an African Violet Book for Everyone.......2000-10-22

An excellent book for all growers, for show or not........1999-08-03

As a grower of African Violets for many years, I find this book to be perhaps the most informative, particularly for the actual growing of the plants, in print. Virtually every aspect of growing perfect plants is discussed in a straight-forward format. Opinionated only by factual insight, no words are wasted. Technical necessities are discussed at a level for most everyone to easily comprehend and put to use. Considered THE BOOK in many grower circles, and deservedly so by virtue of the success that can be achieved by following the authors advice.

If you own only ONE book on the subject of growing African Violets buy this one, right away. I've grow African Violets for YEARS, and still refer to this book at times. It's a MUST HAVE!!

Book Description

“Places to go, people to see” - under this title and ruling principle Thomas Hilland and the London-based creative shop Mother have assembled an extensive and appealing collection of exciting new photographers. Far from overused magazine aesthetics this volume happily flaunts unceremonious, innovative creativity and the straightforward works of a new generation of sensitive photographers who have resisted the pervasive lure of familiar styles and techniques.

Customer Reviews:

pure bliss.......2004-04-05

This book possesses something rare and beutiful; an unnarrated visual trip through life. No plot, just photography. Full and double page spreads without captions of everything one might see just walking around, growing up. a variety of photographers, none of those glossy magazine photos-just pictures. Realy, it makes everyday life seem inspired, like every moment and situation is a picture worth saving and looking at over and over again. I found this book in a bookstore in berlin, was hypnotized by it and decided to move into that neighborhood. since then, many people have picked it up while browsing my library, and ended up entranced for hours. This wordless book is, in my opinion, pure bliss.
