This book covers the structural anatomy with pin-point accuracy. Though this isn't really an anatomy book by title, by examining Prud'hon's structural techniques, one can easily see all of college's artistic anatomy classes in one of his graphics.

For years I have been searching for wine from this region, as the quality is amazing virus the amount that you have to spend. Paul Strang's book clued me into the politics of the region from the Greek and Roman times to now. It was during the Roman times that the natives of Languedoc were known for their "proverbial drunkeness." After reading this, not only do I understand this region better and am planning on visiting as soon as I can, but I am also a much more informed wine consumer. Forget the overpriced Bordeaux's, Paul guides you through some of the best wine for the dollar.

Ricardo Hausmann y Liliana Rojas-Suarez hacen un excelente trabajo de recopilación y nos brindan este libro que sin duda se convertirá un clásico y texto elemental en el tema de las crisis bancarias. Dado que este fenómeno se acentuó en la década de los noventa, creemos que es una publicación muy recomendable como base para estudiantes, profesionales e investigadores.

Mulisch accomplished here again a dazzling novel. It is theatre withing theatre. In intricate winding of lives, the old actor, Uli Bouwmeester performs his last role of the last role of the older actor de Vries in Shakespeares Tempest, Prospero.As magically as Prospero, the author weaves places, situations, characters, times, events in moving, twirling, engaging tapestry. In reference to Poe's "Narratives ..of Pym" the ending takes the reader through the life transforming and time transcending narratives of the protagonist. The novel unfolds with the clarity of greek tragedy. But even more than these (after all 3000 years of development) it provides rare glimpses of insight into the deeper issues of life.

Mr. Spare is a investment advisor who takes the long view. He presents his ideas in very simple language that both novice and experienced investors can use. Chapter 1 and 2 alone are worth the price of admission. Chapter 1 (The New Face Of Retirement) presents the case for continuing to work, save, and invest because of the simple fact that we will live longer and that experience counts in the marketplace. Chapter 2 (How Much Do You Need To Retire?) demonstrates that a million dollars today isn't what it used to be, and that inflation is a deadly force, especially for those trying to maintain a reasonable lifestyle. Chapter 6 (Disregarding Noise, Understanding Time) offers sound advice on not paying any attention to the noise in the marketplace, especially in these times of CNBC and CNN. The rest of the book is icing on the cake. The key is to read widely, have an independent mind, and develop a focused portfolio. There are only a few books that one needs to invest successfully--this is one of them. Mr. Spare's book is one that every sensible investor should read once a year. It clears the mind wonderfully. Read it and read the classic by Charles D. Ellis (Winning The Loser's Game) and you will be miles ahead of the competition.

This book is yet another terrific volume in the Spirit Flyers Series. More than any of the preceeding books, it struck me as frighteningly possible. In that sense it was not a ceerful book, but it was good, in the truest and purest sense of the word.

This book is a must read for anyone interested in Chinese history. The book covers practically all aspects of the life of Aisin Gioro Pu Yi from his brief period on the dragon throne to being a "reformed" man in Peking in the 1960's. A tragic figure, his story is fully told.

First, this is catagorized wrong. I would put it for ages 9 and up, probably. The reading level is fairly easy, but the content is rather dark.

The world created is wonderful, excellently detailed and very believeable. The illustrations are great too! I would definitely recommend this book for any lover of fantasy novels.

if you hunt ducks this book is a must. it is packed full of the "good old days". not only that, but each story makes you feel as if you were there. you can almost feel the cold of the morning and the excitement of each flock that passes by.
