    5 out of 5 stars Simply the greatest guide to snowsport resorts for the west.......2007-09-10

    This is an amazing book. It covers the answers for the questions that skiers and snowboarders have prior to visiting resorts they've never been to before - what are the trails really like in detail - where can we afford to eat - what tricks are there to getting around in the resorts? -Which resort leans more to our particular skills?...and so much more...

    The tips are cool, the quips are fun, and it is just so much better than those stale books that spend 2 short pages and tell you no more than a resort's website.

    5 out of 5 stars Can't decide where to go skiing? You need this book!.......2005-11-03

    Since I live in the deep south and don't know a lot of skiers, this book fit the bill for me in deciding where and when to try my mountain legs in the West. Not only does this book describe all the major resorts in detail, but it compares them in table form one with another. If you are spending money on airfare, lodging, ski rentals, tickets ect, this book has the potential to keep you from making an expensive mistake. It also has lots of technical skiing tips also. The information is very accurate. The only thing that is sparce is individual lodging reviews. I guess that is beyond the scope of a book like this. The folks that write the book are real SKIERS, not just travel writers. I highly recommend this book, and looking forward to a new edition when it comes out.

    Book Description

    Baba Jan, the beloved patriarch of an Afghan family, was known by most as General Sahib. Born in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 1910, his life was colored by a tumultuous political climate. He taught his children and grandchildren the history of a proud, but tortured country through the touching stories of this life. In this unique book, M. Kabir Younoszai shares his father's narratives with us. Readers are given a firsthand account not just of the religion, customs, and history of Afghanistan, but of the people—the everyday life of a beautiful yet sometimes harsh culture. The author came to the United States in 1961 and knows how remote his homeland can seem to fellow Americans. Yet through the eyes of Baba Jan, Afghanistan is home. As we wade through the confusion of post-9/11 life, Baba Jan's insights hold more significance than ever.

    5 out of 5 stars A moving and respectful memorial.......2003-04-12

    Baba Jan's Chronicles: The Life of a Twentieth Century Afghan is the insightful and memorable biography of Baba Jan, the well-known and much-loved patriarch of an Afghan family, known to most people as General Sahib. His life and its intersection with the complex political climate and terrible wars that Afghan has suffered is remembered in detail in this moving and respectful memorial.

    4 out of 5 stars An Afghan Life.......2003-03-21

    When you begin reading BABA JAN'S CHRONICLES be prepared to be transported to another way of thinking & speaking about life here on earth. These are the remembrances of a gentleman whose childhood began before the First World War in a land far, far away from our Western ways.

    Baba Jan's firsthand accounts of the religion, customs & history of his people & their fabled land, hold much significance for us in the confusion of our post-9/11 world.

    In dignified, spare & measured stories, Baba Jan reveals a life well lived, on the edge of a political cauldron, intimately entwined with the rise & fall of the kings of Kabul. From his early years to his service as a diplomat to his marriage to his meetings with the movers & shakers of his time, Baba Jan's quiet observations are spellbinding.

                  Henri Matisse: Drawings with Scissors Masterpieces from the Late Years Olivier Berggruen and Max Hollein

                  Now in an attractively priced flexi-cover edition, this lavishly illustrated volume presents all aspects of Matisse's cutouts.

                  Henri Matisse's paintings and drawings are some of the most revered in the art world and his cutouts are widely believed to represent the zenith of his artistic career. When Jazz, Matisse's revolutionary handmade book of paper cutouts, was published in the early 1940s, it was considered a dramatic departure for the artist. Eventually he came to consider the cutout as his primary artistic medium. This collection of superb reproductions and critical essays offers a chance to appreciate the full spectrum of Matisse's work, from the early models for Jazz to the large-scale works that dominated the artist's final creative period, and offers fascinating new discoveries about the connections between the cutouts and his earliest works.

                  Max Hollein is Director of the Schirn Kunsthalle Museum in Frankfurt, Germany.

                  Olivier Berggruen is an art historian, who lives in New York.

                  5 out of 5 stars A compilation of learned essays on the work of the great artist after age-related illness.......2006-06-05

                  Compiled and co-edited by art historians Oliver Berggruen and Max Hollein, Henri Matisse: Drawing With Scissors, Masterpieces From The Late Years is a compilation of learned essays on the work of the great artist after age-related illness, which confining him either to his bed or a wheel chair, would no longer permit him to paint, so Mattise took up cutting out colored paper patterns and having his assistants mount them in special patterns under his guidance (often from his wheel chair). The profusely illustrated essays include "Jazz: Rhythm and Meaning (Margret Stuffmann); "Painting with Scissors: Jazz and Verve" (Michael Anthonioz); "Drafts for Publications and Maquettes" (Ingrid Pfeiffer); "Decoration beyond Decoration" (Remi Labrusse); "Resonance and Depth in Matisse's Paper Cut-Outs" (Olivier Berggruen); "The Windows in the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence" (Ingrid Pfeiffer); "Philodenros" (Hannes Bohringer); and "Painting alone remains full of adventure - Matisse's Cut-Outs as an Inspiration for Nicolas de Stael, Ellsworth Kelly and Andy Warhol" (Gunda Luyken). A superb guide, Henri Matisse is very strongly recommended addition to personal and academic library Art History reference collections is enhanced with the inclusion of an informative foreword by Max Hollein and Olivier Berggruen, an extensive biography of Mattise, a list of illustrated works, and a selected bibliography for further study.

                  5 out of 5 stars A Great Book Worthy of Its Subject.......2006-04-08

                  Originally published in an expensive hardcover edition as a catalogue to a European exhibition of the same name, Prestel has wisely chosen to republish this important book in a smaller, softbound and attractively priced format. This is an unexpected boon to lovers of Henri Matisse's art, as "Drawing With Scissors" is the most important publication on Matisse's famous last works - the paper cut-outs or gouaches decoupees - to appear in many years, and effectively supercedes John Elderfield's "The Cut-Outs of Henri Matisse" as the best introduction to these famous works. The authors are a noted group of European art historians, and each of the essays here explore different aspects of the making, meaning, and interpretation of these unique objects, from the cut-outs as Matisse's final attempt to unite color and drawing to the cut-outs as revolutionary works which explode the traditional opposition between "high art" and "decoration" in Western history. Although visually simple to the extreme and coloristically exuberant, these last works were the product of many years of searching and investigation into the nature of reality and the creative process, and the authors do justice to the unexpected intellectual heft behind the gorgeous appearance of the cut-outs. Physically, this small book is gorgeous - the layout and design equal the hardcover edition and the quality of the color reproductions is stunning. A must-have for any serious art library.

                        Book Description

                        Here is a holistic approach to childbirth that examines this profound rite-of-passage, not as a medical event, but as an act of self-discovery. Exercises and activities such as journal writing, meditation, and painting will help mothers analyze their thoughts and face their fears during pregnancy. For use during birth, the book offers proven techniques for coping with labor pain without drugs, a discussion of the doctor or midwife’s role, and a look at the father’s responsibilities. Childbirth education should also include what do expect after the baby is born. Here are baby basics, such as how to bathe a newborn, how to get the little one to sleep, and tips for getting nursing off to a good start. Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is a process of continuous learning and adjustment; Birthing From Within provides the necessary support and education to make each phase of birthing a rewarding experience.

                        5 out of 5 stars Personalizing the birth experience.......2007-10-04

                        As a woman who's feeling cornered into a cesarean due to a stubborn breech baby, I am grateful that Birthing From Within approaches birth from all angles fairly. So many other resources out there seem to not acknowledge that a cesarean birth is still the miraculous birth of our children and that there are ways to personalize and take ownership of the experience, instead of feeling as if we have no control over what's happening to our bodies and our babies. I am taking a Birthing From Within class, as I was planning and preparing for that all natural childbirth experience--that just doesn't seem meant to be for us right now. At first, I felt a bit resentful and jealous that others in the class were all going to have their perfect birth experiences and I would be left out in the cold of the modern medical world. With the support of my doula and my teacher, I am feeling much more prepared to enter into this birth knowing that it is still ours. As an interesting note, Pam England birthed her first baby via cesarean--perhaps this is why she has more empathy and has the insight to offer women the ability to do some soul searching beforehand to come to terms with the process and how to heal, move on and have the birth experience that we want. I am very grateful for this resource.

                        4 out of 5 stars Facilitated self-exploration.......2007-09-28

                        Birthing from Within classes can be found all over, and can be a unique and powerful birth preparation. If you're planning to take a class, read this book first to get a sense of what the classes are supposed to entail, then interview the class instructor before signing up. Find out what you will be doing - be specific in your questions. I found that it's easy to call yourself a "Birthing from Within" instructor - it's no guarantee that the instructor will actually follow the principles and methods.

                        If you just plan to read the book, it's a nice guide to self-exploration. Some things might be tough to find the motivation to do without a teacher's encouragement and facilitation.

                        to deal with birth. A new look at birth educations. I find it really helpful in classes. It is a great way to help people express themselves thru art. The author even has classes that can be attended.

                        5 out of 5 stars Touching and Inspiring.......2007-08-13

                        This is an excellent book for any woman going into pregnancy and birth. It will help you face your fears, accept what is to come, and make it the best possible experience you can have. The activities are especially helpful. I found this book to be vital in my preparation for a natural home VBAC. This book focuses on emotional preparation much more than physical facts, so don't be surprised that it pulls on your heartstrings and moves your emotions but doesn't give you the step by step labor instruction many other books have, since it's purpose is not to tell you how to labor, but to help you deal with the emotional rollercoaster labor can put you through.

                        Excellent book.

                        5 out of 5 stars Like a kind, very wise friend.......2007-07-29

                        This book is so good! I have searched and searched for a positive, helpful pregnancy/childbirth book and I finally found the one! I felt so good after reading this book, and read it in just two sittings because it is so interesting. The kindness that exudes from this book is amazing. After reading it I felt happy rather than more worried, even though it covers all the possible things you might encounter. It was like talking to a kind, very wise friend who has faith in you and your ability to cope. It was not preachy or pedantic or condescending- it inspires you rather than treats you like a "patient." It is full of very helpful things that you could only learn from experiencing birth yourself- it mentions many of the things that helped me in my first birth.

                        Book Description

                        The first-ever collection from the archives of the legendary Chairman of the Board, filled with never-before-seen photos, letters, mementos, and more.What is a legend? A legend is a man who, more than 65 years after stepping on stage for the first time, is still larger than life. A man who changed the way we wear our hats. A man possessed not of a voice, but The Voice. Frank Sinatra is a legend.Created in conjunction with the Frank Sinatra Estate, THE SINATRA TREASURES tells the story of Sinatras life with rare and never-before-published quotes from those he loved and those he worked with--and from the Chairman of the Board himself. More than 200 black-and-white and full-color images from several Sinatra archives, as well as 30 removable facsimile reproductions of items, such as a script from one of his radio shows and a Sinatra family photo album, provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Sinatras world and talent. Also included is a new compilation CD of rare interviews, early radio appearances, and songs. This celebration of the many elements of Frank Sinatra--as singer, as actor, as humanitarian, as friend--brings to life as never before the man who made the standards standard.

                        4 out of 5 stars Long time Sinatra Fan.......2007-08-11

                        This is probably one of the most complete selections I have ever seen. Having been a Sinatra fan since the late 1940s, I have a lot of very fond memories of seeing him in person, first with the TD band, personal concerts, Old Gold Radio Show, and Your Hit Parade Radio show, plus many personal appearances in the Los Angeles area and Las Vegas. This book complements my own collection of Sinatra memorabelia. It's nice to read an authorized book about the kind of person he really was.

                        5 out of 5 stars The ultimate Sinatra book.......2007-06-10

                        Frank Sinatra was, in my opinion, the greatest entertainer of all time. I collect Sinatra recordings and books, and "The Sinatra Treasures" is probably the best Sinatra compilation I've ever seen. In addition to numerous interviews, Sinatra quotes and hundreds of rare photos, it also contains a collection of various Sinatra memorabilia pocketed throughout the book. There's a photo album of pictures from Sinatra early in his career, ticket stubs, a radio script, reproductions of programs from two presidential inaugurations that Sinatra performed at, and much more. There's also an audio CD containing clips from Sinatra interviews, radio appearances, monologues and a few rare recordings, including the version of "High Hopes" used to promote John Kennedy's presidential campaign.

                        This wonderful collection of Sinatra material sheds light on the numerous aspects of Frank's life as a performer, father and friend. All Sinatra fans should own a copy of this book. (When it was first released, the book retailed for about $75, so the current price is a real bargain. Snatch up your copies while you can!)

                        5 out of 5 stars Essential for every Sinatra fan.......2007-03-19

                        I couldn't believe when I stumbled upon this page that nobody had written a review yet! So I thought I would just add a few words of encouragement for anyone debating whether or not to order this book.

                        First of all, this book is more than a book. It contains a cd with some never before released songs and promos, pull-out dupicates of hand written letters, duplicates of photos from the Sinatra family albums, album covers of albums that were never produced, and so much more.

                        I purchased this book the week that it was released, for almost $50, and even at that price it was worth it. I see now that amazon is offering it for only $20! If I were you, I'd swoop up two! One to keep unopened, and one to open. It's that good of a book. If I had to recommend just one Sinatra book, I think this would be it. I like some others, like Nancy Sinatra's book, Tina Sinatra's book, and the DK book Sinatra, but this one is tops, especially because it contains so many rare items.

                        If you are a Sinatra fan, I whole heartedly recommend this book! Get one for you, and every other Sinatra lover in your family!

                        I bought this book as a gift for my husband, who is an avid lifelong fan of Frank. He loves it, and so do I. It makes one feel like part of the family.

                        5 out of 5 stars A Joyful Afternoon with Frank Sinatra.......2006-09-01

                        Even if you are NOT a Sinatra fan you will truly enjoy "The Sinatra Treasures" written by Charles Pignone. The book is beautifully put together with page savers. When looking through the book, the cellophane envelopes holding the Sinatra mementos, make one feel as though one is going through a "family album", with fond memories of the various events throughout Mr. Sinatra's life. A marvelous "coffee table book", too, but you will pick it up and glance through the book and find yourself stopping to read the stories. This book was highly recommended to me and I pass that recommendation on to you.

                        Book Description

                        From his first number one hit in 1940 to his last multi-platinum LP in 1994, only Elvis and The Beatles rival Frank Sinatra as the most important figures in 20th century popular music. And through his first small movie role, Higher and Higher in 1943, to his last, The First Deadly Sin in 1980, via more than 70 films, Frank Sinatra rose beyond mere icon to become a quasi-mythical, globally idolised cultural institution. As such, it makes the achievements of legendary Hollywood photographer Bob Willoughby all the more impressive. For even during the '50s and '60s zenith of the Sinatra myth, Willoughby became one of the very few photographers to capture not only the charm, charisma and dangerous cool of Sinatra the untouchable "Chairman of the Board", but also the tenderness and fragility of Frankie the father, the friend and human being. Beginning on the set of his Oscar-winning portrayal of Maggio in From Here To Eternity, through to the heady, hard-drinking razzmatazz of the Rat Pack's Las Vegas residency to film the original Ocean's 11, Tilloughby's beautifully collated portfolio includes stolen moments between Sinatra and a host of his friends and costars, including Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Montgomery Clift, Burt Lancaster, Shirley MacLaine and Judy Garland. Elsewhere in the book we see Sinatra negotiating with film producers, hanging with fellow Rats, giving it the irresistible "Old Blue-Eyes" whammy to Kim Novak and Juliet Prowse, turning on the magic on stage and enjoying quiet moments at home with his daughter Nancy. And while many of the images have become classics and will be familiar to even the most casual admirers, more still previously unpublished glimpses of Sinatra's turbulent life. Put together, they represent the most illuminating insights into the heydey of the Hoboken player ever printed, and serve as a complimentary companion to Willoughby's Audrey Hepburn collection, recently published by Vision On to widespread acclaim. Start spreading the news.

                        5 out of 5 stars Sinatra: An Intimate Collection.......2005-01-18

                        "Frank's luster never dimmed. He made film after film, and the great recordings he made are being played to this day. He was bigger than life: he had something special; the rare talent that meant when he sang, it was difficult, if not impossible, to ignore that ol' black magic in his voice." ~ Bob Willoughby's Reflection on Frank Sinatra - 2002.

                        This is a collection of Frank Sinatra's never before published intimate photos with detailed captions, mostly snap shots taken by the legendary Hollywood photographer, Bob Willoughby, who also did photo collections of Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn. This 207-page paperback is virtually a 'feast-on-the-eyes' for any fan of the Chairman of the Board.

                        Willoughby focused on the singer/actor's very good years in the movies from 1953 thru 1965, commencing with the movie "From Here To Eternity" which was a blockbuster at the box office and garnered numerous Oscar Awards, to his 1965 movie, "Marriage On The Rocks" with Deborah Kerr, Dean Martin and Sinatra's daughter, Nancy. On this section shows a full-page photo of Sinatra standing in front of a Divorce Attorney's office which has a big sign that reads: "Divorce your loved one with dignity." Mr. Willoughby did a fantastic job in putting all these photos together, spotlighting on Sinatra's stolen moments with his co-stars Dean Martin, Deborah Kerr, Shirley MacLain, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford, Judy Garland, Kim Novak and also the great arranger/conductor and Sinatra's very good friend, Nelson Riddle, among many others.

                        Highly recommended to all Sinatra enthusiasts. This will be a nice addition to your Sinatra books.

                        5 out of 5 stars Don't Pass This One By!!!.......2003-03-20

                        This book is a suberb look at Frank Sinatra from photos that have never been seen before and are simply fascinating. The book itself is beautifully put together and every picture gleams.
                        The captions are extensive and informative. A lot of care went into this book. In many ways it is superior to the It Was a Very Good Year Book, which was much more popular - higher quality photos, a lot in color, a lot of prime information about some of Sinatra's best films. If you are thinking of getting this, GET IT!! You won't be sorry!
