When I picked up the Paul Klee Diaries it fell open to the sentence every artist must secretly yearn to see: "...I am still incapable of painting, in spite of my sharp observation of tonal values and inspite of my clever way of determining the proper gradations of light and dark." Well! If he had trouble, there must be hope for the rest of us! The diaries, edited by his son and published posthumously, cover his 19th to 40th years as he travels, attends concerts, draws, paints and engages in intense artistic discourse with friends like Kandinsky and Macke. An exquisite writer, Klee captures whole experiences in a few brief words. The book is a chronicle of the development of both the artist and the art of his time. I especially liked the precise descriptions of his drawing experiments and periodic review of his progress. His grasp of techniques and insights into the creative process can be returned to again and again.

Esta es, sin duda, la obra cumbre de Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente. Asesorado por un grupo de biólogos, nos invita a un recorrido por todo el globo, conociendo las diferentes especies animales de cada zona zoogeográfica (Etíopica, Holártica, Asiática, Neotropical, Australiana y Mares). Una completa descripción de los hábitos de vida de muchas especies, además de datos anexos como fichas, fórmulas dentarias y maravillosas ilustraciones.
La obra está complementada por una excelente fotografía, que la hace muy atractiva visualmente.
Además hay apartados especiales en los cuales se describe las diferentes clases, órdenes y familias en que se dividen, según la Zoología, las especies.

Obesity is an increasingly major problem in our society today and people spend millions trying to lose weight, often only to put it back on again. The Encyclopedia of Obesity and Eating Disorders puts it all in perspective for us in this A-Z reference, explaining the features and causes of anorexia nervosa, cultural influences on appearance and fad diets as well as topics such as homosexuality and eating disorders, the mass media influence on eating disorder, sleep-related eating disorder and much more.

This book should be in every public and academic library. As a researcher/writer myself, I found it invaluable.

I read this book when in college, over 20 years ago.

It has defined my view of international politics ever since.

I'm buying the book again to re-read today what has had so much influence on me over all of these years.

This book contains the memory of paraguayan marshal José Félix Estigarribia, wrote for his daughter Graciela Estigarribia and was dictation for her from his father, during their exile in Montevideo Uruguay, and the copyright is to Graciela inheritance of his father. His father's secretary, Pablo Max Insfrán took Graciela's manuscripts without her permission (she was phisically blind at the moment)and published it in the USA without the permission of the legitime owner, Graciela Estigarribia. Insfran did that with the help of his uncle Edgar Insfran (former represive dictator Stroessner minister of the interior) and the repressive police under the orders of his uncle. If something can be made to repair this injustice, the copyright for Graciela Estigarribia, I will be very happy and one injustice can be repaired for the family of this extraordinary paraguayan hero, marshal Estigarribia. I was personal friend of nun Graciela (she became nun of the order of the Visitation after her husband's death. She was blind but was my unforgettable french speaking teacher. She personally tells me the history I am telling now). The book is very interesting for all people interested in strategy studies (military, bussines, sports, etc. strategies) and the readers can be inspired for this wonderful genius of war Estigarribia. He talk about problem evaluation, strategical thinking, implementation of strategy, intelligence, and all things a modern strategist can be enrichised. I recommend it to all people who want to have practical aproach and who want to became true his thinking. For me is inspiration in thinking in an intelligent way and to act in an dinamic way.

Our children loved the Felix Activity Book and could not wait for the sequel. They absolutely love Felix Explores Our World even more! This wonderful book is full of challenging adventures for children of all levels.

These books are great for parent and childern to read together. And both will enjoy all the books by this author. I did and when my childern where older I passed them onto another child, and aday care so they can enjoy. I had the books for eight years. And my childern loved them so much they did not even ruin them.

"Felix Feels Better" tells the story of a little guinea pig's first visit to the doctor with sensitivity and understanding. The text is simple and straightforward, making it easy for a young listener to relate to the plight of the little piggie who eats too many treats before bedtime, then wakes up feeling "not very perky." Rosemary Wells' pictures are a perfect accompaniment to the text. The smallest child will see himself and his fears in going to the doctor for the first time eased by the gentle story of Felix and Dr. Duck, as Felix literally bounces back by the end of the book!

These are transcriptions of oral interviews given by Frankfurter for Columbia University, and they reveal the two great rules for conducting an interview: know your subject and let 'em speak.

This is perhaps the best monograph of any contemporary artist out there today. Spector's essay is reserved, lucid, and leaves room for the imagination of the reader. She balances her own ideas with numerous quotes by the artist, developing a partnership, a conversation. And the reproductions are just stunning. Reading this book is an intimate experience--it captures the spirit of Felix Gonzales Torres' work and life. It's the sort of book you'll carry with you everywhere and never know just why.
