Idiosyncratic take on minimalist interiors.......2000-01-11
As someone who loves both London and minimalist architecture, I have to say this book doesn't *quite* redeem its promise. I think the fault may lie in the series' concept rather than the book per se. While it does sound many of the right notes - Pawsonian asperity first and foremost - by restricting the ambit to London, the authors miss out on many of the most interesting trendlets in this most adaptable style. It's both pretty and well-presented, but as a comprehensive statement doesn't entirely succeed. For a more comprehensive take on *architecture* as opposed to decor, I'd look at *The Architecture of Minimalism*; for those looking for a more purely idea-driven sourcebook, I'd check out *Minimum*.
The Bible for Minimalism and its British origins.......1997-09-11
For anyone wanting to discover what is minimalism and wher it came from, this a must. No one has managed to outline and seize precisely the essence of it as well as H. YPMA. Outstanding photos, and a fantastic insigt into London

Book Description
Child abuse, incest, child molestation, Halloween sadism, child pornography: although clearly not new problems, they have attracted more attention than ever before. Threatened Children asks why. Joel Best analyzes the rhetorical tools used by child advocates when making claims aimed at raising public anxiety and examines the media's role in transmitting reformers' claims and the public's response to the frightening statistics, compelling examples, and expanding definitions it confronts. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from criminal justice records to news stories, from urban legends to public opinion surveys, Best reveals how the cultural construction of social problems evolves.

Book Description
This is the book of "The Fiddling Fisherman" - John Jay Watson. As a young schooner fisherman in Gloucester, Massachusetts, Watson became a popular fiddler to the fleet. He survived the shipwreck of the schooner Rival on Prince Edward Island in the "Yankee Gale" of 1851, then worked his way back to American soil playing concerts in towns along the way. With his highly anticipated return to Gloucester he played a concert to an audience so enthusiastic a local newspaper called the performance a "bumper.".
With the encouragement of Norwegian violin virtuoso Ole Bull, Watson went on to a career as a solo violinist on New York concert stages. He produced musical variety shows that filled Cooper Union's Great Hall again and again. He composed melodies for piano and violin that were parlor music favorites. At least one was reissued a quarter of a century later. Always, though, Watson kept his values straight, playing to audiences of ordinary people for modest admission charges, and counting his old fishing shipmates among his most steadfast friends.
In following Watson's colorful career from ship's deck to concert stage, "The Stream I Go A-Fishing In" explores his three musical worlds: improvised music of the waterfront, the American musical variety stage after the Civil War, and the parlor music revolution stimulated by the introduction of Chickering's improved pianos. Nineteenth century America teemed with music, and John Watson - at various times fiddling deckhand, featured solo violinist, concert impresario and tunesmith - was in the middle of it all.
The book contains eighteen illustrations and a bibliography.
Customer Reviews:
A Really Good Read.......2004-07-16
This is a really handsome little book that brings John Watson, a nineteenth century Gloucester fisherman turned successful composer-musician, to life. It is a fascinating and true tale of a young man who by birth and upbringing should have spent his life in the Gloucester fishing fleet, but instead decided to cast his net into the unlikely world of the arts and classical music in New York and Boston. Chet Brigham paints an interesting and well researched picture of Watson's life and times, and allows you to see the world through his subject's eyes. If you enjoy a good historical narrative that has everything from lethal nor'easters to Dime Entertainments on the lower East Side of New York, you'll enjoy The Stream I Go A-Fishing In.

Conversations With Chaim Potok (Literary Conversations Series)
-
The Chosen
ASIN: 0313311811 |
Book Description
Since the publication of his first novel, The Chosen, Chaim Potok has been regarded as one of the most important Jewish-American writers of our time. In that 1967 landmark work, in its sequel The Promise (1969), and in the other works that followed, Potok has explored the conflict between Jewish values and the secular American culture against which these enlightening stories are set. This full-length critical study introduces students to the powerful fiction of Potok. By examining in depth not only the spiritual elements but also the literary components that make works such as My Name Is Asher Lev (1972) best-sellers, this Critical Companion helps readers gain an appreciation for the considerable literary achievements of Potok. A close reading is given for each of Potok's eight novels, including his most recent work set in the Korean War, I Am the Clay (1992). A full chapter on each title examines character and plot development, major themes, and stylistic features. A discussion of the historical context as well as a close critical reading further enhances the understanding and appreciation of each work. This Critical Companion provides an up-to-date, detailed biography of Chaim Potok, examining his life as a man, as a rabbi, and as an artist. A literary heritage chapter explores the influences on Potok's writings, both literary and spiritual. This section helps students of all backgrounds understand the basic tenets and the important distinctions within contemporary Judaism. This discussion also examines what it means to be a Jewish-American writer. Full literary analysis of Potok's eight novels is provided, each book with its own chapter. A specially selected bibliography of reviews, criticism, and biographical information completes this volume.

A thorough and useful guide to Potok's novels.......2000-11-19
Sanford Sternlicht's CHAIM POTOK: A CRITICAL COMPANION is part of the Critical Companions to Popular Contemporary Writers series put out by Greenwood Press. Having worked at a public library reference desk, serving high school students in very real need of in-depth sources on modern writers, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It admirably and thoroughly fills a serious scholarly gap for students needing information on Potok, one of our greatest modern Jewish American writers. In addition, the book is an interesting and informative read on its own. What I found in the book piqued my interest and I plan to read at least three of Potok's novels.
The book leads the reader to an understanding of Chaim Potok and his works on many fronts. There is a short biography of Potok, an analysis of his literary acheivements and his sources of inspiration, and then an most helpful analysis of each of his eight novels; each novel is assigned its own chapter.
A most intriguing feature in Sternlicht's book is his explanation of various styles of literary criticism, followed by an application of that style of criticism to a Potok novel (i.e., psychoanalytic theory is applied to The Chosen, reader-response criticism is applied to The Book of Lights, feminist criticism is applied to Davita's Harp, etc.). Far from being a dry or dull, these discussions and analyses are clearly written and shed light on aspects of the novel that the reader may have never before considered.
Another fine aspect of the book is that Sterlicht provides the historical background of each novel as well as character and plot development and thematic and symbolic elements. Each of these aspects of the novel being discussed is laid out in a clear, concise, and logical fashion, making the book very easy to use for students doing research on Potok's novels.
I don't think that anyone could ask for a clearer or more balanced analysis of Chaim Potok's novels than what Mr. Sternlicht has provided in CHAIM POTOK: A CRITICAL COMPANION. It belongs in all secondary school, undergraduate, and public libraries, and in the private libraries of anyone who enjoys Potok, American literature, and/or just a plain old good read.
Sternlicht's qualifications as a prolific author and as professor of both English and Judaic studies at Syracuse University are very much in evidence in this volume. He has performed a great service both to Mr. Potok and to lovers and students of literature everywhere.
Far More Than a Text For Students, But For YOU TOO!.......2000-11-07
This is a book that evokes the broad spectrum of books that Chaim Potok has written, but most especially The Chosen. Beginning with a history of the author and then a history of the Jewish-American novelist, Sternlicht gives us the advantage of his teaching in the Jewish Studies program at Syracuse University. Each novel is then adressed, with a careful description that brings back the delight of its original reading, and then followed by a discussion in its larger historic and ideational context. It is a most enjoyable and informative book, reminds one of the pleasure from earlier Potok novels, and I hope for more of the same from Sternlicht.
