I thought for sure I'd like this one. What Quilter doesn't love the array of wonderful Moda fabrics? The idea that they would come out with a book is a great idea. But I saw it in the Quilt Shop and, well, you should look at the book first. Don't assume "Moda" nor their "artists" made the best choices for you without seeing it.

The Gardens of William Morris.......2000-03-05

I loved this book. It demonstrated for me the real "art" of gardening. William Morris was a clever and far sighted man who advocated staying within the parameters of nature and natural beauty when making gardens. He also perpetuated the "garden room" theme which has been enormously popular since the eighteeth century. I refer to this book continuously and strive to design and construct garden rooms in my own garden which are as beautiful.

Book Description

Over the past four centuries botanists and gardeners in the British Isles have gathered, maintained and propagated many varying species of plants. Their work has been documented in innumerable books and articles which are often difficult to trace. The Dictionary of British and Irish Botanists and Horticulturalists represents a time-saving reference source for those who wish to discover more about the lives and achievements of the horticulturalists listed. The dictionary's utility comes not only from indicating the major publications of the named authors, but also the location of their herbaria and manuscripts.; The previous 1977 edition of the Dictionary has for many years been a much used source of information for botanists, botanic artists and archivists. In this revised edition the scope has been expanded to include among its 13,000 entries flower painters in addition to botanical artists over 1400 entries and, for the first time, garden designers.; Finally the Dictionary should have international appeal since so many botanists and gardeners worked on collective plants overseas, in particular in North America and the British Commonwealth.; Each entry gives, wherever possible, details of dates and places of birth and death, educational qualifications, professional posts, honours and awards, publications, location of plant collections, manuscripts, drawings and portraits. Its main function, however, is to provide further biographical references to books and periodicals. Comprehensive classified indices facilitate access by professions and activities, countries, and plant interests.

A Very Useful Book on Garden Design And Designers........2000-08-08

When I embarked on relandscaping my property I needed a book that would give me a historical background about the development of contemporary garden design. I wanted examples of great designer's works, with many illustrations. I wanted to see how various plants were used and where to put them. In short, I needed a lot of help. I found it in this book. Starting with the evolution of contemporary garden design from Victorian England through the Edwardian garden, Author George Plumptre mesmerizes the reader with verdant landscapes such as Ascott, Buckinghamshire. He compares and contrasts the concepts of Classicism and Modernism in garden design. He introduces us to the great designers such as Gertrude Jekyll and Edward Lutyens, Harold Peto, Thomas Church ( my favorite, so far), Beatrix Farrand and designers who are working today, such as Oehme and van Sweden. Full of watercolors, plans and historic photographs, this is a wonderful and very useful book for weekend gardeners and serious students of garden design.

Book Description

The Crisis of Causality deals with the reaction of the Dutch Calvinist theologian Gisbertus Voetius (1589-1676) to the New Philosophy of Rene Descartes (1596-1650). Voetius not only criticised the Cartesian idea of a mechanical Universe; he also foresaw that shifting conceptions of natural causality would make it impossible for theologians to explain the relationship between God and Creation in philosophical terms. This threatened the status of theology as a scientific discipline. Apart from a detailed analysis of the Scholastic and Cartesian notions of causality, the book offers new perspectives on related subjects, such as seventeenth-century university training and the Cartesian method of science. It will be of great importance to any student of seventeenth-century intellectual history, philosophy, theology and history of science.

Great Book.......2002-06-24

The book was very insightful into Enrique's life. The early chapters of his life, with his mother and father, give a small explanation as to why Enrique is the way he is today. I believe the authors took some liberties in trying to explain what he was feeling, only Enrique knows that. But overall a decent book about his early life and what made him into the man he is today. After reading this book I have a greater respect and admiration for Enrique. I am now a fan for life.

A good book.......2000-04-14

I've been a fan of Enrique Iglesias's for a while but this book gave me some information about him that I didn't know before. I was surprised at how the book went into great detail about his father's life at the beginning, but it was interesting to learn a bit about Enrique's family history. The only thing that bothered me about the book was the authors acted like they knew what Enrique was feeling just by using some of his quotes. I think they used a lot of speculation. The only person who really knows what he was feeling during certain moments in his life is Enrique himself. Other than that, if you want to learn basically everything there is to know about Enrique and his career, I definitely recommend this book.

Heart Warming Tale of a NiNo who lived so much so young.......2000-03-30

Overall the book was specific and breathtaking. However I must say I did not enjoy reading Enrique's father biography in the first chapter. Perhaps the next book could be specific and mention the same on the cover. I felt it should have giving alot more attention to Enrique's(specivically in the first chapter)life as an artist and less of his personnal life. But any information or insight his fans get will make them appreciate more his incredible talent as a singer. Afterall it is inherited. (-*: Look forward to the official biography-----and more pictures please

A sensitive treatment of an awesome subject.......2000-03-13

This book was very insightful and revealed a lot about Enrique's personality that people would otherwise not know. He's a true talent and an admirable human being, and I'm his fan for life.

If you're an Enrique Iglesias fan, you will probably know most or all of the information in this book. What I love about it is it's very cute because of its small size and all the pictures are great! There are some pictures of Enrique that I had never seen before and some that I had seen on the internet that I wished I could get a copy of and this book allowed me to have copies of those pictures. The book also contains some of Enrique's best quotes. It's a cute, fun book to have.
