Book Description

Woodturning is the art and craft of using a lathe to fashion raw wood into useful and decorative objects. This book looks at the tools and techniques needed to create a variety of effects including chucking, turning spindles and round objects, multi-axis turning, turning ellipses and rings, and drilling methods on the lathe.

Customer Reviews:

Something for "oldtimers" and beginners too.......2000-09-06

As a professional turner with 52 years experience, I find much in this book that I like. Many of Mike's methods I have used and, many I have not. Now that I'm retiring, I shall turn for fun with the help of this book.

Turning tricks.......2000-04-29

This is a wonderful book. It won't teach you how to use a skew or how to turn an ordinary bowl. It starts where that kind of book leaves off. You will find thirteen ways to turn an accurate ball, eight ways to drill or bore holes on a lathe, three machines that can turn ellipses and umpteen ways to steady slender or unbalanced turnings. The first chapter deals comprehensively with chucks from the time that Noah turned the handles of the ark - and it transpires that the 'modern' scroll chuck was in use more than a century ago. There are chapters on turning rings of al kinds, turning objects on multiple axes, eccentric turning and therming (go look that one up).

The book is not for the timid. Some sections are positively heavy going; the author backs up the pretty pictures with just enough theory and math. All the illustations were drawn, photographed or scanned by him and they are superb. His care in devising, setting up and executing them is very apparent. Text is about equally divided between body and captions and is concise, clear and easy to read. At the end of each chapter are copious endnotes and right at the end a seven page bibliography for further reading.

I could not put the book down and finished it in a sitting, and have since gone back to re-read several sections. I can see that I will repeat this often in future. The book will definitely have several reprints or editions and one hopes that the author will then get rid of the unnecessary typographical errors. One also hopes that he will come to grips with the spelling of words like 'asymmetrical' and will learn the difference between 'centripetal' and 'centrifugal'.

Book Description

With full-color photos and illustrations throughout, this easy-to-follow guide that shows how to use diet and food supplements that encourage the body to heal itself, restore balance, prevent and cure illness, and increase energy.

Book Description

He is the epitome of health—or a walking time bomb. He is oversexed—or sexless. He is jolly—or hiding the tears of a clown. He is the picture of wealth and plenty—or the bloated, malnourished emblem of poverty. He is the fat man—a cultural icon, a social enigma, a pressing medical issue—and he is the subject of this remarkably rich book.

The figures that Sander L. Gilman considers, from the ugly fat man with the beautiful sylph trapped inside to the smart fat boy to the aging body desirous of rejuvenation, appear and reappear in different guises throughout Western culture. And as is often true of marginal cases, they serve to define the shifting center of our dreams and beliefs. A tentative exploration in the world of male body fantasies, Gilman’s book asks how the representation of the fat man alters with time and alters how men relate to their own bodies and the bodies of others, both men and women. His examples—ranging from Santa Claus to Sancho Panza, from Falstaff to Babe Ruth, from Nero Wolfe to Al Roker—illustrate the complexity perennially associated with fat men. From discourses about normality to the playing fields of baseball, from Greek male beauty to the fat detective, Gilman’s book examines and illuminates how cultures have imagined and portrayed the fat boy.

Customer Reviews:

Oddly enough, I read this on my treadmill........2004-05-03

This is strong cultural studies. Gilman's purpose is to show that for centuries in the West, issues of obesity and masculinity have worked hand in hand. He looks at Greek philosophy, canonical authors, fictional detectives, baseball players, and modern male stomach staplers to spell out how fat men have been treated and portrayed. What Garber did for bisexuals and Halberstam did for masculine lesbians, Gilman now does for fat men.

Constructionists will love this book. Gilman makes a point to show that the chubby are treated differently from the obese. He illustrates how Falstaff transformed from Shakespeare's comedies to Verdi's operas and how Sancho Panza changed over the course of Cervantes' work. In the baseball chapter, fat men are maligned; in the detective chapter, they are praised. Gilman had much more than one thing to say about fat men in Western cultural history.

Gilman is juggling many balls here and I have mixed reviews about his results. On the one hand, it's intriguing how he can jump from plays to opera to the law to biography to current events. However, his principle interest is how medical theories affected cultural productions; you'd never guess this from reading the table of contents. And sometimes it just doesn't add up. For example, he states that at the same time that writers were inventing fat detectives that solved crimes with their guts, scientists were describing the importance of fat cells. Still, he never truly explains that or if the latter caused the former.

The subtitle of this book is purposeful: Gilman is quite cognizant that he is only scratching the surface on fat men. He avoids Eurocentricity by restricting his analysis to "the West." I sincerely hope that this book will encourage other scholars to write on fat men in the Muslim world, Asia, or pre- and postcolonial Latin America. Still, there's so much that Gilman left out of the picture. Though I doubt he's homophobic, I disliked that he never once brought up the bear movement, especially when it would have been easy to do so in his last chapter. He makes scant mention of sumo wresters and Al Roker, but besides that you almost never hear about men of color (including those in the West). When I flipped through the index and saw "Fat Joe," I assumed he meant the chunky Latino rapper, not some Dickens character. Further, rap is the standout cultural arena where fat men (most of whom are of color) have made a positive name for themselves (examples include Biggie Smalls and Big Pun) yet Gilman hardly gives them a sentence. What up wit dat?! To his credit, he does a great job in being inclusive of fat Jewish men, however.

This book can be depressing to "swallow" as a fat male reader. Is it any consolation to find that for centuries Westerners have considered fat men to be lazy, stupid, immoral, and shameful? When Gilman looks at how fat becomes a proxy of other traits, he mostly focuses on short lifespans. I think a better look at other dynamics would have been more interesting.

Lastly, and of least important, fitness lovers may hate this book. Gilman does little to admit that obesity is a health hazard. His focus on representation does not touch valid issues that too much weight can be dangerous.

I am so glad that Gilman wrote this book and that I found it. I'm just not all the way impressed after finishing it.

Product Description

Legendary guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, Hubert Sumlin, T-Bone Walker, Johnnie Winter, Albert King, Freddie King, and Chuck Berry are known to all blues fans for their remarkable soloing abilities. But the complete blues guitarist must do more than shine in the solo spotlight. And that is why every great soloist is also a great fill-in player. Tasteful fill-in licks support and inspire the singer while adding fire and drive to the performance. For example, Blind Lemon Jeffersons string-snapping fill-ins provided the perfect complement for his rough-hewn blues songs. Both Louis Armstrong and Lester Young seemed to talk to the singer with their finely-crafted, jazzy fill-ins. And Henry Sunflower Vestines stinging, buzzsaw fill-ins never failed to drive his Canned Heat bandmates into a psychedelic frenzy. This book is accompanied by a user-friendly split-track CD allows you to sit in with a professional blues band while you learn to play blues fills behind a great singer, Charles Adkins. The Heat-Seeking Missile Blues Band is heard on the left channel; the fill-in licks are isolated on the right channel. This is not just another book of abstract how do I use these licks in real life? licks, but a collection of solid musical ideas that can be applied to thousands of real songs. Another fine contribution from Red Dog Music Books, designed for the early intermediate-to intermediate guitarist. Some of the licks are accessible to highly motivated near-beginners, and the book is an excellent resource for teachers.

Book Description

Full of fresh ideas and a standard of production that exceeds anything he's done before.

Book Description

This book recounts the events involving Raquel Liberman, an impoverished immigrant to Argentina that was forced by circumstances into prostitution, and the powerful Zwi Migdal, which controlled the recruitment and deployment of Jewish prostitutes in Argentina while maintaining mutually profitable relations with corrupt politicians and policemen. Liberman's story is presented as an example of individual courage and determination in the face of the violence and corruption of the prostitution business. Her struggle with the Zwi Migdal and triumphant public victory over her oppressors was widely publicized in newspapers and magazines, and was a political cause celebre in its time. This book gives readers an intimate view of how the affair caught the public imagination, and was interpreted and transformed by the artistic imagination.
