An excellent book for kids who get "bored" on those long (and short) road trips during the summer. The book is full of exercises for creativity and invention that will occupy kids for hours. And the book uses information on the road that allows kids to be interactive with the sights around them. I wouldn't go on another summer trip without this book!

carlito's way and after hours two great books by edwin torres if you like organized crime mixed with funny characters this is the book for you. in the books we get to see a different carlito brigante than the one in movie a more cold blooded carlito brigante this book is filled with crime,passion,fun and death this one has it all if you are into the movie you'll like the book better trust me

Refreshing to find a book that goes beyond the bare facts. A new angle on the Tokugawa era that I found quite fascinating.

Academy Editions has done a fabulous job in creating a fine documentation of architectural innovations pertaining to modern places of worship. Whether you're an architect or not, you'll find this fascinating.

Throughout the first third of the book, Edwin Heathcote exhibits a broadly based and well-researched background in covering the advancement in concepts which influenced church design and construction through the 1900's. Citing numerous architectural trend setters, Mr. Heathcote describes in an eruditious manner the relationship between theology, liturgical reform, and modernism, and how they contributed to the "expression of piety" seen in today's church building throughout the world.

The remainder of the book is entitled "Movements of the Spirit," in which Iona Spens compiles a series of "portfolios" from noted architects/firms, and supplements her text with excellent photos, plans and elevations. The color photography, both of interiors and exteriors, is downright breathtaking in many cases, and does great justice to the defining, creative aspects of each church.

This is the second "Builders" book I've bought (the other being "Airport Builders"), and I like this one the best simply because the photography is more easily able to capture the essence of the architectural creation. As with the other, this edition is of the highest quality: bound well, and printed on the best paper. Highest recommendation.

then this is the book for you. a pretty good book if you want to build a cinema.

Dudley and Hernandez really went to the point by writing on the ethical limits for balanced Christians who live in this world. I know the Seventh-day Adventist Church myself and I can say that this book expresses their Bible ground, thought and viewpoints regarding Religion and Politics very well. Personally, I can appoint this book as an excellent work, to be read and taken as a referential about the Seventh-day Adventists lifestyle and position in the present world.

Dudley y Hernandez realmente fueron al punto, al escribir acerca de los límites éticos para Cristianos equilibrados que viven en este mundo. Yo mismo conozco la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Dia y puedo decir que este libro expressa muy bien su base bíblica, pensamiento y óptica acerca de la Religion y la Politica. Personalmente, puedo recomendar este libro como una obra excelente, para ser leida y tomada como una referencia acerca del estilo de vida de los Adventistas del Séptimo Dia y su posición en el mundo de hoy.

Great resource. gave me a fantastic overview as well as some specific technical guidance.

Mr. Gifford writes an interesting & comprehensive history of Camark (I live in Arkansas, where Camark was produced). The book features many colorful pages with fair pricing of the items. I learned quite a bit from this book. I'm a new collector & found this book to be quite helpful to me. I have already recognized a piece of Camark I bought for $10 to be worth about $60! That's worth the price of the book!

A wonderful history/reference book for those interested in colonial era crafts as well as the artist/craftsman looking for vintage design styles and techniques. If possible, get the early hardbound edition that includes elements deleted in later softcover printings.

The title of my review says it all.
