Aswan and Abu Simbel.......2006-08-28

Aswan is one of Egypt's most popular winter resorts. For many visitors, its natural surroundings on the Nile's First Cataract and its warm winter climate are attractions enough, but there are also many sites of interest: the graceful temples of Philae Island; tombs of ancient noblemen with their fascinating biographical records; the desert ruins of the monastary of Saint Simeon; the rich botanical collection on Plantation Island begun by Lord Kitchener; the High Dam and the Nubian temples of Kalabsha and Beit al-Wali. Nearly three hundred kilometers south of Aswan, on the shores of Lake Nasser, stand the magnificent temples of Abu Simbel, saved from the rising waters of the lake in one of the most remarkable salvage operations ever mounted. North of Aswan is the unique double temple of Kom Ombo.

In this guidebook, the first to be devoted entirely to Aswan and Abu Simbel, Jill Kamil presents a lively account of the history of the town to the twentieth century, then guides the visitor round each of the sites. In a final chapter she provides practical information on accomodations and transport.

Book Description

This lavishly-illustrated book is the definitive guide and reference work for the 100-block Monte Vista National Historic District, two miles north of downtown San Antonio. It includes 139 illustrations (some in color), maps, notes, bibliography and both a general index and an index of architects and their works. Monte Vista survives nearly intact from the city's Gilded Age--1890 to 1930--when newly-prosperous residents built the finest neighborhood of the era remaining in Texas. The district's vintage homes, both elaborate and modest, were designed by more than two dozen distinguished architects in an unusual variety of styles, from Queen Anne to Prairie to Tudor to Spanish Colonial Revival. In addition to describing the finest landmark homes block by block, San Antonio's Monte Vista deals with the dynamics of developers and the lifestyles of original residents, and of their servants as well.

Customer Reviews:

MONTE VISTA.......2007-04-23

San Antonio is blessed with many intersting old neighborhoods, and Monte Vista being one of the most intriging. This book is well crafted, the text is enlightening and well researched and the images crisp. I have toured this neighborhood and can honestly say this book really captures the essense of it. This book is a must for anyone interested in the history of historic neighborhoods or just historic San Antonio in general, you wont be disappointed.

Book Description

Branding your firm's future-with success
More than a name game, product branding is often a high-stakes gamble-even when there's substantial market research behind it. The Classic Coke fiasco is just one example. With millions of dollars at stake each time out, companies can't afford branding strategies that can't stand up in the marketplace. Representing the brain trust in brand management, Paul Temporal's Advanced Brand Management presents the highly sophisticated branding techniques used by some of the world's leading companies. Strategies such as brand stretching and brand architecture are described, especially as tools for managing the total brand experience and value. The book also includes a brand management toolkit, which provides checklists and exercises, as well as global and Asian case studies. This indispensable practitioner's guide will help companies secure lasting brand equity for their products.

If you're serious about marketing on the Internet ..........2003-02-09

This book worked so well for me, I'm being presented at the International Coach Federation conference as an example of branding! I also brand clients on the Internet, and found this book tremendously helpful. It gave me theory, but also vocabulary for explaining complex concepts to clients -- as to why I insisted on this or that for their websites, email responses, etc. For instance, Mr. Temporal asked research participants to rate personalities of two companies with Internet presences. He found that consumers preferred to buy from the company that appeared "easy going, modest, helpful, caring, approachable, and interested," rather than those that appeared "sophisticated, arrogant, efficient, self-centered, distant and disinterested." And, not surprisingly, the latter company was ahead in the competition. It helped me resolve those efficiency-care issues we face. If you're serious about having a branded presence on the Internet, I'd take a look at this book if I were you.

Essential reading.......2002-04-11

This book presents easy-to-understand theories with eye-opening examples. It provides food for thoughts to those who are serious about developing brands. After reading it, you will understand why Philip Kotler described it as one of the best books on brand management.

Book Description

The first book by David Dicaire, Blues Singers: Biographies of 50 Legendary Artists of the Early 20th Century, (McFarland, 1999), included pioneers, innovators, superstars, and cult heroes of blues music born before 1940. This second work covers those born after 1940 who have continued the tradition.

This work has five sections, each with its own introduction. The first, Modern Acoustic Blues, covers artists that are major players on the acoustic blues scene of recent time, such as John Hammond, Jr. The second, Contemporary Chicago Blues, features artists of amplified, citified, gritty blues (Paul Butterfield and Melvin Taylor, among others). Section three, Modern American Electric Blues, includes some Texas blues singers such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmie Vaughan and examines how the blues have spread throughout the United States. Contemporary Blues Women are in section four. Section five, Blues Around the World, covers artists from four different continents and twelve different countries.

Each entry provides biographical and critical information on the artist, and a complete discography. A bibliography and supplemental discographies are also provided.

An Observant Jew As An Inner-City Teacher.......1998-07-07

This is a first-hand account of how a newly observant young Chasidic teacher ended up teaching learning-disabled youngsters in an inner city school (a "tough neighborhood") and succeeded in becoming their teacher and friend. Written candidly and with a lively sense of humor, this is a heartening read.
