"Tigers of Wrath, Horses of Instruction" (the title is from William Blake) is the first monograph of the work of Walton Ford, a contemporary, New York-born painter whose enormous, Audobon-inspired watercolors are among the most beautiful, most thoughtful, and most disturbing works produced today. His often baffling work, examining global culture clashes told through fantastically-rendered paintings of exotic birds and animals, is very well explicated in a scholarly introductory essay by Steven Katz and a useful interview with the artist conducted by Dodie Kazanjian. All in all, this is probably the most gorgeous book you'll see this year.

Walton Ford's watercolors are among the most beautiful offered by any contemporary artist today. The context of each work is intelligent, thoughtful and imaginative while the execution of each work is brilliant. The book's release is in conjunction with a major exhibition of recent work by Walton Ford at the Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York City in October 2002. Serious art collectors, museum curators and art lovers should purchase a copy of the book for their libraries: the book is certain to become a collectors item.

"Zen"...is an elegantly written, well researched, voyeuristic peek into the underground esoteric life of a vampire who realizes his higher purpose...to slay vampires.to meditate. to fast. to live a compassionate existence.to trancend his thirst for warm blood. A team of slayers called 'The Ministry' teams up with protaganist 'to clean house'by free-ing residents of the eerie,bloodless un-dead that reside among them. ~Masterpiece~

This book really defies description. It is one of the most serious, philosophical, mystical and scientific books ever written on the topic of vampires. Interestingly enough, the whole topic of "vampire slaying" really just serves as a vessel for introducing a deeper, more meaning look into human nature and Zen philosophy. This book would be interesting and meaningful for anyone interested in mysticism, Zen, biology, meditation, martial arts, sensory exploration, cultism, and last-but-not-least, vampires.

Although the book takes a serious, meditative look at vampire slaying, it actually builds to an incredible crescendo that rivals any book of fantasy or fiction. I have actually purchased this book for about 15 of my closest friends and family, and they have all been deeply touched by it. It's one of those brilliant books that forces you to examine your own life and to re-evaluate your goals and perspective. I know that all who read this will enjoy it tremendously.

An indispensible resource on the Motion Picture business. We use it in our office daily. Incredible book for anyone looking for a job in entertainment, interested in researching the business, or needing a handy reference (if you can call 800 pages 'handy').

Total coverage of TV, Cable, Satellite, related biographies, with huge company listings. Great for anyone who's looking for a job, or need to do research. Highly recommended.

This book is a really good level zero/level one pre-literacy textbook for ESL classes serving adult refugees in the US. It's pre-literacy section is a little short, so I found I needed to make more (but similar) worksheets. I also supplemented this section with Linda Mrowicki's Pre-Reading Resource Book (Linmore Publishing), and Linda Mrowicki's First Words in English. Peggy Kay's books "Games for Learning" and "Games for Reading", although targeting children, helped me understand other skills such as muscle development, spatial orientation, and visual memory which I needed to work on with students who were illiterate in their first language. But this book and it's companion book "Foundations" were the core textbooks and they were great.

Stevens' treatise carries Fant's classic of 1960 up to date, and to a more linguistic level in describing the essential, basic acoustic features of speech. The mathematics are beyond me but I expect to find answers to any question I have about the acoustics of speech communication for explanations in my own book. J.M. Pickett

I have worked with hundreds of books and materials teaching EFL/ESL in Asia and the U.S., and this book has the some best listening activities out of everything else that I have seen. One of my favorite features is the that the cassette uses a great variety of voices and accents.

I have been teaching ESL for the first time over the past year and have been using the Side by Side text and workbooks. Not having had any prior teaching experience I didn't know what or how I was going to present the material. Side by Side's student book has great illustrations, to the point activities and the perfect amount of repetitiveness for students to grasp new concepts. I'm teacing again this year and I have every intention on using Side by Side books again.

The authors provide a fresh look at the food and agribusiness industries as they are today with solid fundamentals for the professional facing these challenges in the future. Even in the preface, the authors point out that this book was written for students, for managers and for instructors. It is obvious they had these goals in mind when developing the text.

Despite the stoic looking cover, Agribusiness Management is fresh, current and inspiring. I have read it from cover to cover and regularly use it or refer to it in my work.
