Description of Book Incorrect.......2003-04-12

This is simply a Code and Regs book for Partnership and Corporate taxation. This is not a statutory supplement, it simply lists the code sections and regulations. I wanted to further explain this because by the description for this book it appears there is addtional information in the book that would help the reader ascertain these code and regs. The book is 730 pages. It's nice and small. It's teriffic for those that have huge IRC and loads of Reg books. Cheers

Book Description

In Rebecca Barker's remarkable and colorful paintings, traditional quilts are blended into images of landscapes, seascapes, still lifes, and farm scenes in an imaginative way. Each evokes impressions of the pleasant and positive places that form the patchwork of our lives. Included are the patterns for piecing or appliqueing the blocks depicted in the paintings. Quiltmakers can choose from 24 well loved blocks, such as Whig Rose, Palm Leaf, Rose of Sharon, Wild Rose Wreath, Orange Basket, and Church Windows. Rebecca calls her paintings 'Quiltscapes' because they were inspired by the names of traditional quilt patterns. The author says, 'As an artist, I fully appreciate the composition and design talent it took to create the beautiful quilt patterns. It is my goal to honor the women who created the designs and to teach others the names of the patterns.' Making these historic quilt patterns will be fun for all ages. As an artistic and visual delight, it will also make a great gift for quiltmakers and for those who simply admire beautiful quilts. AUTHORBIO: Rebecca has always loved to paint, and she knew from an early age that she wanted to be an artist. She received her art training from Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, and Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and has pursued a painting career ever since. Around 1994, having been a quilter for several years, she started to include quilts in her landscape paintings. The first of these depicts a quilt hanging on a clothesline in the foreground and a farm landscape in the background. REVIEW: This AQS book offers not just [Barker's] lovely paintings, but instructions for the quilts as well. Not surprisingly, the scenes and the quilts lean heavily toward the traditional, but at least one of the 24 patterns will speak to you.

Big Spaces.......2005-05-03

Big, hardcover book about different lofts in Scandinavia. Photos are good and it has even floor plans for some lofts in the last chapter. Lofts they presents in this book are big and in loft-spirit some of them are made spaces which we're first place designated for something else. Recommended!

Book Description

The dragon is the spirit of changetherefore of life itselftaking new forms according to its surroundings, yet never seen in its final shape. It is the great mystery itself. Kakasu Okakura, The Awakening of Japan Being a teller of stories and myths, I have always been fascinated by dragons, but I hadnt really understood what they symbolize. Then my father was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and his life was thrown into jeopardy. In my minds eye, I kept seeing the dragon and my father marshaling all of his forces to meet it. I went looking for real live stories from people who could honestly say that they had met a dragon and survived. In conversation with her friend Eleanor Nielsen at the Canadian Cancer Society, Michelle learned that survivors of breast cancer had adopted the ancient Chinese ritual of dragon boating as a sport symbolic of their struggle with this prolific disease. Those who race dragon boats meet at festivals every summer to ride the dragon. A priceless tapestry, interwoven with threads of gold and silver is perhaps the best way to describe How to Ride a Dragon. It is a beautifully crafted blend of mythology, fantasy, narrative and first-hand human experience telling the stories of 22 courageous women, their families and friends and their epic struggles in coming to terms with cancer. These are the stories of survivors of breast cancer banded together. They have met and conquered dragons. Royalties will benefit the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Initiative.

Book Description

Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901-1953) is frequently considered the most significant American female composer in this century. Joining Aaron Copland and Henry Cowell as a key member of the 1920s musical avant-garde, she went on to study with modernist theorist and future husband Charles Seeger, writing her masterpiece, String Quartet 1931, not long after. But her legacy extends far beyond the cutting edge of modern music. Collaborating with poet Carl Sandburg on folk song arrangements in the twenties, and with the famous folk-song collectors John and Alan Lomax in the 1930s, she emerged as a central figure in the American folk music revival, issuing several important books of transcriptions and arrangements and pioneering the use of American folk songs in children's music education. Radicalized by the Depression, she spent much of the ensuing two decades working aggressively for social change with her husband and stepson, the folksinger Pete Seeger. This engrossing new biography emphasizes the choices Crawford Seeger made in her roles as composer, activist, teacher, wife and mother. The first woman to win a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in music composition, Crawford Seeger nearly gave up writing music as the demands of family, politics, and the folk song movement intervened. It was only at the very end of her life, with cancer sapping her strength, that she returned to composing. Written with unique insight and compassion, this book offers the definitive treatment of a fascinating twentieth-century figure.

Customer Reviews:

a musical revolutionary from many perspectives.......1999-06-28

Judith Tick does an indispensable service here in writing the first full-length biography of Ruth Crawford Seeger. And it is a damn shame that Seeger was takened in 1951 an early age for someone with a consummate gift for composition. Tick traverses her entire life down to the walks from one library to another to concerts in Chicago, along Michigan Avenue. Infrequently we never read about Seeger's radicalism, her days, as most artists with the Labour Movement in the United States throughout the early part of this century. Tick makes us believe Seeger's understanding of this,not only in writing politically progressive music, music which identifies with the exploited, but how these experiences in facing these dark times informed her more abstract music. Tick gives a great narrative on these pre-McCarthy Era times,placing Seeger's work in a context,in fact so much so that her creativity suffered under too much involvement.
