    This book tells you more than the typical person would want to know, so you get to choose how much you want to discover an area of town. It breaks the metropolis into areas of focus, so it is easy to follow. I highly recommend this book to every gay person who plans on traveling to London.

        5 out of 5 stars The Photographic Guide to Schooling Your Horse.......2007-03-13

        I found this book really helpful with it's clear photographs and succinct descriptions of movements. There is nothing too technical here and everything is explained in easy-to-understand text, with accompanying photographs. The photography is quite exemplary. In showing a trot-to-halt transition it clearly shows the 'stages' of the transition and in shoulder-in, there is a great picture taken from above the rider and the movement is clearly seen. The contents covers Schooling, flatwork, lateral work, polework, jumping and western riding and all with great photographs of 'explanation'.

                Book Description

                This study focuses on the altars of the major annual Hopi ceremonials which display ritual objects, the possession and use of which give religious and secular power. With the importance of such objects in mind, an iconographic study of Hopi religion is particularly illuminating. This study aims to demonstrate how to view Hopi altars and is supplemented by a theory of the mechanics of efficacy in the Hopi altar context. The text provides a general introduction to Hopi religious practice and distinguishes three levels of information: 1) the calendrical and ritual contexts of Hopi altars, 2) the functions of these altars within those contexts, and 3) the iconography and iconology of the altars, understood here in a literal sense as the study of the forms and structures of the altars on the one hand and the study of the implicit and explicit symbology of the altars on the other. The book provides keys to understanding through exemplification and typology, and is meant to be of particular use to museums and research libraries.

                Book Description

                More then those of any other living photographer, Sebastião Salgado's images of the world's poor stand in tribute to the human condition. Salgado defines his work as "militant photography" dedicated to "the best comprehension of man"; over the decades he has bestowed great dignity on the most isolated and neglected among us-- from famine-stricken refugees in the Sahel to the indigenous peoples of South America.

                With Workers, Salgado brings us a global epic that transcends mere image making to become an affirmation of the enduring spirit of working men and women. In this volume, three hundred fifty duotone photographs form an archaeological perspective of the activities that have defined hard work from the Stone Age through the Industrial Revolution to the present. With images of the infernal landscape of an Indonesian sulfur mine, the drama of traditional Sicilian tuna fishing, and the staggering endurance of Brazilian gold miners, Salgado unearths layers of visual information to reveal the ceaseless human activity at the core of modern civilization.

                Workers presents its subjects on several interactive levels: Salgado's introductory text expands his passionate photographic iconography, and extended captions, also written by Salgado, provide a historical and factual framework. Evoking the monumentality of Baroque sculpture, images of oil-fire fighters extinguishing Kuwaiti wells are informed by data detailing this perilous venture. Heroic photographs of Cuban and Brazilian peasants harvesting sugarcane are enriched by an overview of the history of the sugar trade, which documents centuries of colonialist exploitation.

                On the eve of the millennium, Workers serves as an elegy for the passing of traditional methods of labor and production. Yet its ultimate message is one of endurance and hope: entire Indian families serve as construction crews to build a dam that will bring life to their land, and laborers using contemporary technology connect England and France through Eurotunnel. Honoring the timeless and indomitable spirit of the manual laborer, Workers renders the human condition with honesty and respect.

                My wife and I saw these photographs exhibited in NYC quite a while ago (mid to late 1990's at the ICP?) and were extremely impressed, and I think that the book does them justice. Some are almost difficult to believe are real (see Brazilian gold miners on pages 300 & 301).

                5 out of 5 stars Powerful Living Photography.......2007-05-31

                I was lucky enough to see this wonderfully humane expose and photographic genius while it was on tour at The Philadelphia Art Museum years ago. At that time, I passed up buying this book at the Museum Store and regretted and searched in stores for it years later.
                If this book were on everyone's coffee table and looked at page by page ... there would be much more respect and much less oppression in the world. Good people would see to that.

                5 out of 5 stars Great Art with a purpose.......2006-11-04

                The bikes we ride, the tuna we eat, the oil that runs our cars, the gold we wear, are all manufactured, fished, drilled, mined, by countless people in remote corners of the world, often under extremely difficult and dangerous conditions, and more often than not, for extremely low wages. In this beautiful book, the Brazilian economist turned photographer Sebastiao Salgado put his Art to the Service of Humanity, to give us a window to the rest of the World that remains hidden from our TV screens and from our consciousness. The pictures are magnificent, and as true Art should, their impeccable technnique is there to serve the greater purpose of conveying meaning and emotion.

                I love these photographs, and the quality of the reproduction is exquisite -- BUT
                most of the photos span two pages

                Having a "spine crease" in the middle of the photos detracts severly from their beauty and impact

                    4 out of 5 stars Better than I expected . . . .......2006-03-10

                    Upon purchasing this book I expected a glossy, inch deep journey through the life of one of our generations most high profile non-heavyweight fighters. Much to my suprise and enjoyment, the writer, Tim Kawakami sifted through the carefully cultivated image that we have glimpsed from De La Hoya via his tv and other print appearances and uncovered what makes the fighter tick. The reader actually gets to witness the true insecurities and heartbreaks that fueled Oscar's rise to the top of the boxing food chain. While the prose is niether poetic or flashy, the author provides rare glimpses of an unfiltered Oscar during his formative years in boxing. Defintely a must read for any De La Hoya fan, but maybe not for the general reader.

                    3 out of 5 stars Solid biography, missing Oscar's best years.......2005-09-20

                    Tim Kawakami turns in a decent re-telling of Oscar De la Hoya's rise to boxing fame & fortune, interviewing many of the prime movers & shakers to come in & out of the Golden Boy's orbit up until 1999. The author paces the tale well, giving the reader a real flavour of the personalities & their motivations & machinations within 'Oscar's World'.
                    Having said that, you sense from his writing Kawakami doesn't like his subject too much, either as a boxer or human being. He seems overly critical of De la Hoya both outside of & within the ring. In his reviews of some of the fighters' biggest tests during this period, he seems to constantly look for reasons other than being better than his opponent for De la Hoya to have triumphed. Maybe to some extent this is valid, but Kawakami seems more inclined to veer towards negative interpretations of events without exploring more positive possibilities.
                    The books biggest disappointment (though this can't be blamed on the writer) is in the timing of its conclusion. It ends abruptly just prior to De la Hoya's fight versus Ike Quartey; the Golden Boy's career reaching its most exciting period with big fights against the likes of Trinidad, Mosley & Vargas still to come. This time in Oscar's life also saw him getting married, becoming a successful boxing promoter & seemingly developing into a more rounded human being. Growing up, in other words.
                    I would be interested to read Kawakami's interpretation of these times in De la Hoya's life, maybe in an updated edition of this title or in a completely new book. That said, this is a good insight into the workings of both the business of boxing and the early career of the Golden Boy.

                    3 out of 5 stars The Golden Brat.......2000-10-05

                    Kawakami writes reasonably well, and the book is a good read, but far from the best boxing book I've picked up.

                    The most interesting aspect is the nasty side of Oscar we get to read about - behind all the glossy marketing, the lad is a fighter after all, and his strained relationship with his father seems sourced as a pivotal aspect in his temperament.

                    Oscar seems to betray everyone who helps him along the way, and is painted as a ridiculously impressionable young man, desperately looking for people to tell him how to live his life. The book paints an interesting picture of America's Golden Boy, leaving him looking less than innocent at the end.

                    5 out of 5 stars TWO GREAT CHAMPIONS:DE LA HOYA AND KAWAKAMI. Worth 100 stars.......1999-12-24

                    As an Oscar de la Hoya fan, I try to get my hands on anything that is written about this boxer who I consider to be my role model.This book truly didn't disappoint me. Kawakami goes into such detail in Oscar's life from the time the "Golden Boy" was just a shy little kid to the present rich and highly desired champion. Kawakami gives his reader in depth knowledge ranging from Oscar's private life, which he seems to totally know all the women in Oscar's life, to a side one is not accostumed to seeing and knowing of the Golden Boy like his leaving of managers to managers that payed the De la Hoya's more money and a sense of ruthlessness.In the end, this is what makes the Book so great because it says about both sides of the story: the good and the bad of Oscar de la hoya. A very unbiased book, that doesn't have information that makes Oscar look like a Saint or Satan, but makes Oscar look human.A must have for the hardcore Oscar de la Hoya fans like me or for any other person interested in a book that you will not put down until you finish reading it!

                    Even though I like to look at Oscar, this book was well-written enough to counter my complaint with the lack of pictures.

                    Oscar's psyche is explained with an observant's P.O.W. which makes for an unbiased biography. The readers leaves with the understanding of the unfortuate shallowness, coldness, and (IMO)a little sympathetic.

                    Book Description

                    It's Oscar's job to tell everyone what to bring to the neighborhood picnic. But the young daydreamer forgot to hand out the lists. Now there won't be any food or games. But with determination, some lightning-fast moves, and fancy footwork, Oscar saves the day!

                    This humorous story grew out of Oscar De La Hoya's recollection of the neighborhood picnics that were an important part of his own childhood. Super Oscar also features exercise tips and fitness advice.

                    Oscar es el encargado de decirle a todo el mundo lo que tiene que traer al picnic del barrio. Pero este joven soñador olvidó repartir las listas. Ahora, resulta que no habrá ni comida ni juegos para jugar. Pero con un poco de determinación, algunas movidas veloces y otro poco de sagacidad, ¡Oscar salvará el picnic!

                    Esta divertida historia está basada en los recuerdos que tiene Oscar De La Hoya de los picnics del barrio, una parte importante de su propia niñez. Súper Oscar también incluye algunos consejos del medallista de oro para mantenerse en buen estado físico.

                          I think that this book resembled a yearbook, because it gave a fawning account of Oscar's life. Didn't really get any real feedback of his life, the pictures were superior though. For $24.00, those pictures better be good and of superior quality!

                          4 out of 5 stars Great pictures, and not a lot of substance, but who cares!.......1998-12-27

                          The pictures are varied and large, the book is large-format and glossy with almost every page covered entirely by a photograph. Some of the best photography of the prize fighter I've seen. A must for fans, shows Oscar before and after success, in the ring and out. Does not have a lot of written information, but if you admire the game and the fighter, the pictures are worth the price.
